Thread: The Path of the Jedi: Reckoning of Effort
Balute wrote:While very relieving to finally know how things were happening under the old system, I'm a bit distressed about the highlighted portion of the quote above. I can understand why this is going to be the case, as anyone who went on TC2 knows (the lag was awful!), it still upsets me a bit to see this is the way it is going to happen.
The question I have about this is: You have said "When enough people have completed their path, we will open it up the village to the next group." If I am in group 4, am I looking at around 30 weeks before I am able to go to the village? That number (30) is based on:
The credit you will receive is…
6 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <----1 week
5 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----3 weeks
4 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----6 weeks (2 phases)
3 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----9 weeks (3 phases)
2 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----12 weeks (4 phases)
1 Force Sensitive branch will be granted <31 weeks total from above.
If this is the case, then there are going o be a lot of REALLY, REALLY pissed off people, waiting around for their "turns" to get into the front door. I hope this isn't the case, but we'll just have to see.
You're assuming they'll only allow the next group in on a cycle change... seems more like they'll just allow it when there's not so many people coming thru, independant of the cycle timing. Some of you just need to relax, if you want your jedi bad enough you'll get it. Just not today, so chill out.
Wow. even those that 'automatically qualify' will have to wait 'a day or so'...? And those of us that arent automatically qualified will have to wait for a 'week or so' ? Or a 'month or so' maybe? Can these answers be anymore incomplete? We dont want excuses for why you havent been here. We want clear consice answers.

TH if i automaticly qualify - where is my Old Man?
Just go about your business and he will visit you in a day or so
24 professions = 24 box's.
For every box over 24 they get you should allow 1 free FS box. For a total of 32 if the person would like to do that.

First, let me say, I know there are many burning questions in the community and Im feverishly working on them all. My absence was due to a long campingweekend. We got rained out so bad it was like camping in a Dantooine downpour and I caught a nasty chest cold. The summit followed up and now Im catching up. Expect information to cover the credit issue, publish feedback threads then a holobits about the summit and then Im heading back into my hut to polish up the Combat Balance docs. For those who were eager to see those as a Friday Feature, they probably will be, but we made some changes based on board feedback and had to delay the post a bit...

TH, is there any way we can tell what "village access" group we are in?
There isn't a hard and fast rule, but there is a solid correlation based on how many professions you completed. For instance, if you finished 31 professions, there is a extremely strong likelihood you'll get 5 branches unlocked. If you finished 29 or 30 professions, you most likely will get 4 branches and so on. Beyond that there is no hard and fast way to tell. Though like I said, there is almost a direct correlation between how many total professions (32)were completed and how many holo-professions were completed.
This is NOTan answer to his question! Not even relating to his question!
He, and I, would like to know what group we are in to get access to the Village.
In addition, you have said in the Old System, we had 5 silent professions, then added 3 to make 8 silent. So, what happens if i managed to do 3 of the 5, then you changed the rules to 8. Did you add 3 more to my un finished silents so now i have 6? You follow me??
I mastered 3 professions before holocrons. Opened 2 holos then went silent. Did 14 more professions after that.
So, have I done 4 holo professions? just 2?
Im assuming, bad thing to do, that i have maybe 2 or 3 of my silents done if im under the 5 silent rule.

TH, how the heck do we know if we "qualify"? If we are glowing, does that mean we qualify? come on man, enough with the vague posts.
That's the 64 million dollar question.
If we are glowing, does that mean we qualify?
This holo-credit is an excellent idea, reminds me of the first and last holocron i ever got and it was master artisan. Nice to know il start off slightly higher than a few people if i ever decide to. And for the guys and gals who want Jedi Knight here and now, all i can say is thatBestine wasnt built in a day.

Of course, if you qualify for the visit under the new system, you will automatically be granted a visit from the old man.
Always.
Can you expand & clarify on this?
I think a lot of people have been waiting for any content in the game & since the Village most closely resembles content gating people will just annoy & frustrate them into cancelling, some people have waited a year for content
