I'm depressed, they told us about the flagging the day after the falgging stopped. (Kinda pathetic how one can get sad about a game) I made my character yesterday after reading the thread, his name is Zathus. Then i read the thread more thoroughly and found out i was a day too late.

I'm SOO pumped. I'm a casually player and always wanted to unlock my FSCS, but can't get enough time to grind through the proffessions. THIS IS AWESOME. Thanks so much JustG.

I've had a character on TC now for 4 months. You do some behind the scenes "flagging" to see who logs in???

Every character on TC should of been flagged regardless if they happened to log in the last 2 weeks, in which none of us knew such a flagging was going on. This is a load of crap. I've tested plenty of stuff on TC in the past, just hadn't happened to log in the last 2 weeks, and BOOM no jedi for me.


That sux very bad SOE, very bad.

Not to mention... no vehicles, mounts or player city shuttleports/cloning centers and no terrain negotiation skills.






not to smart to talk of skills right yet... jedi may have terrain negotation skills with the new skill trees. we have not seen them yet.


plus buffs may not be needed. and as for armor... the cloaks will be given out as you progress in jedi - they add toughness so should take the place of armor (cloaks are not player created)

Bah this sucks, devs post about it when it too late, well thanks very much. Makes me hate this game more and more. At least let people know about stuff like this, it would be kind of nice to try something in the game which can only be achieved by hardcore macro players. Many people long to be jedi, but quite simply have a life, when people get the chance to test one its done in secret, feeling really peeved swear words spring to mind. In fact I hope the whole patch screws up!!!.







post after the fact to prevent a mass flood of refugees from live servers to test for testing jedi.


this allows real jedi to still bring them to test centre and try the new stuff on the testcentre and rewards those who play often on TC with a small carrot for all the troubles they put up with.

What do you mean by "logging in"? I went to the character select screen the other day, but I wasn't able to select a character because the server wasn't working or something. Does that count?

I believe that to be more than a small carrot, its very disheartening to read threads like this, in fact I would prefer not to be able to see this kind of post by the devs, alot of players dream of playing as a Jedi and its simply out of reach and will never ever be achieved. I've played on the TC on numerous occassions, whats attracted me has been little perks, like the free creature mounts and speeders, me and some other guy even mapped out the pod race circuit route at Mos Entha, JustG heard about what we were doing and said he never even new it existed, he turned up at our race and placed antenne and tusken spawns all around the circuit, next thing i knew it was on the main swg page.


The thing is if you want to test something you need people the more the merrier.
This is a blow to me, a very big one and expect alot of other people too.


Not nice reading

yep, I'm a fairly regular TC player and I haven't been able to sign onto it for a month now, Csrs wouldn't help me they are always to busy chatting to actually pay attention to people who have questions, then someone told me to do a full scan today and it worked, so now i get to log on after the deadline and my house is destroyed, such a great day.i'm not too sad about my account expiring tonight, i may not renew it after all.

I just did 3 re-installs, all with the intent on actually logging in and getting the download from test Center.


No luck. Been trying for the better part of all night now.


Anyone else dealing with this, and JustG, am I really going to get hosed, as a 4444 Guardian, because apparently the test server can't handle the load??


I'll try logging in after reboot tomorrow morning, but if I still can't get in and get a character created, I'll really start to be antsy/concerned/worried

Thats why you should make a habit of showing up at least once a week for at least 2-3 hours. It's just plain dedication to Testing and not just "poping in when something new and cool is about to come out." So I have to disagree with you on the "every person that has a TC toon should get flagged." If the Dev's announced when the flagging was going on then there would have been a huge exodus to the TC just so people can "try jedi" that method wouldn't have been fair to the TC regulars who put more time and effor into test then a good load of people here complaining about the exact same thing you are.


Here's a Hint.......start playing on TC more so you may get into the SE beta...I'm positive that the Dev's won't announce Flagging times for this either.....the X-mas holo was enough of a fisaco. to teach the Dev's a lesson.
