BURNING ISSUE?
Id like to know what i get for my Mastered Prof.. a box of FS-Skill each, once i did the prelude with "Glowing",
getting the Cystal and fending off 2 "Sith", to get into the village?That would be ok.
if its just some crap...
Not hardly .. .don't you all wish !! I just completed my trek to the Village in search of the long promised rewards spoke of in previous posts by our Dev Community ..
What do i speak of .. well the propased reward system put in place for the masses that have worked so long and hard to make jedi before this patch. PLEASE let me tell you what i recieved for my time spent grinding out 11 professions and 4 holos !! I got a wonderful system message that tells me upon entering the village, approaching the elder, then beginning the process of converting my surplus exp from my earned professions and skill trees ot FS EXP ..
You have earned 3 free FS tree choices !!! WOOT !! OK i get to choose 3 trees that i want to automatically master ... right >??? RIGHT > ???
WRONG !! upon choosing these 3 trees .. i get the honor of bypassing the 1 single mission that enables the FS toon to START TRAINING in the tree he choose. PLEASE LET ME CLARIFY THIS upon opening your FS slot you get to choose what path you will folloe ie. I choose to follow the Combat Prowess disipline : Takes 50k FS exp to learn the Novice box then you go on to work up your 4 trees ,, Ranged Accuracy - Ranged Speed // Melee Accuracy - Melee Speed --- then master each costing 175k 250k 350k and 450k exp per box ... WELL OK SOUNDS GOOD !!! I think i want to take the 2 melee trees for 2 of my 3 holo grind Free rewards seeing as I am a TKM. that sounds fair nad a just reward for all the work i have done ..I mean comeon 11 professions / 4 holos i get to bypass 3 trees or 12 of the 25 boxes needed just to make the padawan trials. <<<<< NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO >>>>>
What you get for all your hard work is the honor of not having to do the 3 starter missions to get the ability to start training boxes in these professional choices ... ie. in simpler terms i ground 11 professions over as many months to save myself an average of 3 hours going out and doing 3 simple starter missions. That's right .. i times a friend on TC that had never ground a single profession NOT ONE .. just played his charactor to a master did a few POI's and a few Theme parks. Got the visit from the Old man and proceeded to do his beginner FS open - novice missions .. Combat Prowess took him 52 minutes from start to finish and that included walking back from the mission from a distance of 9+ k with the Rescued NPC following him to the village ,,
BOTTOM LINE DEVS !!!! As soon as this becomes known by the masses // hits live the way it is ... OMG !!! DON'T EVEN WORRIE ABOUT JTL .. there won't be a rush to push en expansion pack to the FEW THAT REMAIN ... I will stick out the next few weeks to see just how this pans out. but pending a sweeping rethink on the way your screwing over your veteran players .. you just lost a buttload of your CORE Support players .. Hell I got 2 accounts with 5 masters on TC alone .. and the rest of my group/ guils / friends feel exactly the same way CYA
NOT !!!
OMG You have got to be kidding me all that work wasted? No wonder they wont tell us what credit we will get like TH promised back in May and still wont tell us.

Well, I have been quietly hanging around waiting to see what one might get for mastering 20professions. Not really a grind since it has just been one or two professions a month. If that is really all we get then there isn't much point in hanging around much longer. I'm not going to start from scratch or even a few hours from it. I hope it's not true because I was looking forward to playing again.
Quests for different profession types, for instance, social quests, explorer quests, combat
quests, etc.
1. Smuggler quest: Smugglers are known not only for they’re seedy connections, but also for they’re gambling skill. There should be smuggler quests where the smuggler has to win as Sabaac or some other gambling game. Han once won a planet this way, so some of the higher quests should have you be able to win some rare items as well as credits and XP.
2. Basic quest: It might be cool to have the race tracks also have quest options where you can race against NPCs for prize money, prize items, and or experience for some class or another. Smuggler might be a good since Han use to swoop race.
3. Combat quests: In Knights Of The Old Republic, there was a combat tournament side quest. In galaxies there should be tournaments, either player vs player, or player vs NPCs. There could be different classes, such as: Unarmed, Melee Armed, light projectile, and Heavy weapon. During the fight players shouldn’t be able to switch weapons. There could even be a coliseum of types where not participants could watch, or watch on terminal like view screens.
4. Ranger Quests: An easy ranger quest might be to have a ranger be hired by a hunting party and have him track the animal required with NPC’s tagging along and then have the NPC’s take what ever it is down. The ranger could then extract resources.
5. Dancer / Musician: There could be a party where for the quest the player must join an entertainer group of NPCs. There could be cues for the type of flourish that has to be done, and doing it on the right mark would give a bonus to xp and or the reward. Kind of like Dance Dance Revolution.
6. Chef: Could be a mission for a chef to take a position as a short order cook, or a banquette planner where they have to make the best food possible, or the right food asked for.
7. Tailor: Two words, Faison show. There should be a show where a Tailor could show they’re best stuff. Winners could get a special badge, or be noted some where as the best of the best.
