B-B-B-B-BULLCRAP! i think this is a crock of poop guys, seriously ive played on test center numerous times and then the two weeks i dont play test center they say if you have a character on test center you get bumped over to test center 2 to playa jedi padawan! the they go, oh wait we forgot to tell you, there was a flagging and now you've had to log in between so and so, bull crap guys, im furiated, i swear this game is a thorn in my side, but i love star wars, so i will continue to play. next time devs be clear on what you post, dont pull a whip lash on me






And what would you do to keep the numbers down? .... If they let everyone that had an account on test play a Padawan... on top of adding all the current Live Jedi ( who have actually been beta testing this profession and paying for it ) you would have a server cluster that was so maxed out that you would never get any testing done. The xp requirements for jedi are such that at Padawan level you aren't going to get alot of helpful testing info from them anyway....


Consider it a perk for being a active participant of Test Center....Many people ONLY play on Test Center, and this was a easter egg for them...they deserve it....Just because you created a toon there months ago to check out mounts or vehicles don't get all upset if they don't want you to test Jedi...


And as far as clarity from the DEV's..... It's pretty clear to me from the intial post by Just G, exactly what the requirements are...

wow i cant believe how upset people are. its seems pretty straight forward to me, if you help soe by being a regular on tc your reward is being able to test jedi. plain and simple, now to the people that say oh i havent been on tc in 2.5 weeks. i got shafted, etc, etc. chalk this up to a lesson learned.

yes.. is there enough people that actually play on tc to take down a dragon? I guess we will see.

I started playing daily on tc over a month ago, in fact, I prefer it to the live server chars I have. Just like the old days.. I hope all 3 of my chars get a chance to test jedi. Would like to test both sides of the force!

Looking forward to it.

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.




Same here. This is terrible

Believe it or not, I do want to test it.


Not to mention the general good it will do for the entire game, it's also good for myself as I'm hologrinding ATM and want my future Jedi to be as fun to play as possible.


Now I don't get the chance.

/cry. well looks like i just missed this. I have always wanted to play a jedi but didn't like the idea of hologrinding. And i am really looking forward to doing the quest system as i think it should have always been. All i can hope is that everyone can do a good enough job testing it so that when its released its tip top.

Quest system for unlocking is scheduled for patch ten... so you have a while to wait, or holo-grind.

nah Porag holo-grinding ain't for me. Ahh now i see this for testing the actual Jedi not the quest system. Doh! Still would have been fun though i think i'm still too late for testing the jedi.

One thing I had a bit of an issue with:


I've had a character on TC for quite some time. I've played her off and on for quite a few months (created her shortly after TC went up).


I decided today to create a new character, to check out the changes from the beginning. Well, I land on Tatooine, and there are several TC regulars standing in front of the starport making sure to tell everyone "You aren't getting a Jedi". "Learn to read". Basically being very condescending towards all the new players coming on, and treating them like noobs who were too stupid to know anything. After trying to explain to one of them how this behavior would be very off-putting to a brand new person on TC, I finally logged in disgust.It was very disheartening.


Guys.. if you want people to STAY on TC and possibly test things, don't treat them like idiots when they log in for the first time.. for WHATEVER reason.


Just my 2 credits...





I saw the same thing, Ell's macro was funny, so was Rello's some of the other though were condensending to say the least.


I even got tells asking me why I was helping them.
