Nice Devs! Definatly a step in the right direction! Will be very interesting to follow the progress of this. In the end I hope the profession grind of today is removed for something more constructive.

Q, this is all I want to say. Constructive or Not it is the truth.


This game is ridden with bugs still, broken quest, broken professions, and now a violent shove into a whole new Jedi path. It is completely unexcusable and the players will NOT tolerate it. So what only a small % of us comes to the forums. Those of us that do are sick of the garbage that is continually pumped out to us.


I.E. Act 3 many quests/wp's broke : Why in holy he-ll do you release these without evening finding out if they WORK?!?!


Smugglers....lol...having TH say "How do YOU think we should fix smuggler". WE AREN"T THE ONES GETTING PAID, YOU FIGURE IT OUT. Why do WE keep having to do YOUR job.


etc, etc, etc.


Now telling people who have grinded over 15+ professions that they are gonna get "something" for their hard work...this is a joke that the community will NOT tolerate much longer.

When are people going to understand that even when we had permadeath you never lost your fscs. First thing i did when i opened my slot was create a test character. I put up the only title i had as well. That title was JEDI INIATE. Still a Jedi. Permadeath or no permadeath I still would not lose that character. Having permadeath does not reduce the overall number of Jedi. Changing the method to unlocking will of course.

A Question. Where was the reward to grinding out 40+ professions worth of experience in Mastering Jedi? We could spend the next 6 months in hiding mastering the class but then for what? A chance to PvP once and die losing all 6 months worth of work? What would be the point of Mastering a class if we could not enjoy it once we were finished? To put a title on and be a walking chat bot advertising shops for our main character that we can play and have fun with?

You guys understand that if they are changing the FSCS system (which is my interpretation), it's probably months away, right?


If you are grinding now, you'll probably unlock before the new system.

Well, the way Q is speaking...they still need to design the quests. Hopefully, it won't fit on a single page printout from Allakhazam. Hopefully, it will branch and be different based on your character.


And walkthroughs will no doubt be quickly posted.

The development team is not going to "turn off" the path to a opening a FS before the next publish are they?

Recognition?

How are you going to give me recognition for something you don't track. This has me seeing red. You told use that you can NOT award badges for professions mastered prior to the introduction of the master badges. So how are you going to give me some kind of recognition for the 15 professions I've done trying to unlock this pathetic slot?


Leave the old system of unlocking in the game. If you want to put those with 4 of the 5 professions finished a leg up on the competition that is fine.... but I'll be damned if I'm gonna keep playing if the last bit to unlock a FS slot is any harder than mastering one profession.

All I see is that for publish 6, changes are being made to perma-death (which I disagree with.)

That means that, at least until publish 7, hologrinders can continue to grind out professions, or they can let out a sigh of relief and await the quest-based jedi path.

Grinding was a terrible way of unlocking the force sensitive slot.
