I had a slient holocron, and I only got 2 branch unlocks. Before patch 10 I was expecting 2-3 branches, because I heard from TC it was based solely on number of professions. After the patch, I was expecting 5 because TH said only 1 profession left unlocks 5. Changing it to 8 professions... shame on you. If the change was made in patch 9, that's worse because then it was done solely to make the formula work to give me only 2 unlocked branches. I feel, like many others, this undervalues holocrons.

Ok. These updates seem to get more confusing each time. I was on my silent before pub. 10 but wasn't able to figure it out in time. That's fine so I wait and see what this is new publish isgoing todo forme. To my understanding, I will automatically receive a visit before those who weren't as far along as me. However, people who did no holos at all, got a visit before me, already fought the siths and told me they are a jedi initiate already after 3 days. Meanwhile, I finally get my old man visit and now I'm sitting in a field waiting for the siths to come. Ok, because I work during the day and can't spend 20 hours playing the game, I guess I got passed up by the old man initially - whatever - I'll take that. However, I do not think it fair that those who worked hard on the old system get passed up by people who just flew around to get badges and get the "glow" already and are visited before the others who worked their butts off for the past year.


So I just don't understand how this group thing works and this whole business about the 8 master professions? I got my silent on my 4th holo. I thought I only had to do 4 professions and figure out the silent. I thought that's why people did 20+ professions because they were trying to find that "one" silent profession. Where did this 8 prof come from - were things changed somewhere that I missed? So now, I had assumed that I only had one profession remaining (my silent), but now it seems I could have had 4 remaining. Can anyone please clarify this point.


How do I know what group I'm in? Or how many boxes I filled up. It seems from reading this post that I only have 1 maybe 2 slots opened.Does that soundthat correct?

?!Yeah... OK. Hmmm... yeah? Uh huh? Really?


You are the greatest of your generation man. Seriously. Check it out, I'll tell you my problem with you and it doesn't really have THAT much to do with your typing.


You are crying over a game. Yeah, I know, the truth hurts.


*hands Aki44 a tissue for his runny nose*


All you seem to care about is having a Jedi, doing your little quests and generally complaining about nothing. I'm gonna break it to you the easy way... being a Jedi sucks. Trust me. If you don't have any patience right now to deal with the fact that maybe you'll have to unlock 1 extra force tree than previously, then you are surely not going to have the patience to grind out the millions of exp that it takes to get any of the level 4 Jedi abilities (e.g. any lightsaber 4, any healing 4, any defender 4, and force power 4). It takes FOREVER to get exp... and BH's will kill you too.


You'll be back in about a month complaining about bounty TEF's or EXP loss from dying or something else.


Cry elsewhere.

Lol the thing is you assume that I dont have the patience to make the xp, trust me I do andI couldnt care less how much time it will take me to have my jedi if the conversion had been done fairly.


The point here is we got shafted by SOE on the conversion process, if you re a fan boy and someone who accept everything without saying a word, I'm sorry for you. I'm paying them for the game and the least we deserve as paying customer is to not be shafted.


TEF and BH mission is part of the game, even more for jedi, it s part of the roleplaying for jedi to not show up every second with their lightsaber to brag about it.


Lastly, If you could actually say something interesting and stop assuming you know better, that would be great, so far you didnt made any valid point.


Go argue somewhere else please and come back when you re decided to stop being a tool

At first, there was 5 hidden prof. You could master 4 by using holocrons and then you had to test your luck to get the 5th one. However, devs changed in our back the number of hidden prof, and it become 8 hidden prof at some time.


Now for the conversion here s the number :


Unlocked between p9 and p10 : 6 unlock

7 hidden prof on 8 : 5 unlock

6 hidden prof on 8 : 4 unlock

5 hidden prof on 8 : 3 unlock

4 hidden prof on 8 : 2 unlock

3 hidden prof on 8 : 1 unlock

2 hidden prof or less : 0 unlock


So basically if you got your silent holocron, you ll recieve 2unlock for sure, then if by luck you mastered other hiddenprof during your grind, you ll recieve one more unlock per hidden prof mastered.

Hey at least the village is actually part of the star wars EU, i got to give them that. i believe yoda had told a lightning clan member to hold the jedi lore (a jedi training ship crashed on dath) till FS ppl showed up later.

TH, Please Please Explain!


On Test Center the XP conversion was changed from 30:1 Weapon to FSXP to 10:1. And Combat was changed from 3:1 to 1:1. It looks like it is back to 30:1 and 3:1 on Live.


Why would you guys change it on TC and change it back on Live?
