One more question, it sounds like you are allowing multiple jedi per account. Is this limited to one server or could you have a jedi on two different servers if you did the quests on both?

tsk tsk...

Looks like everyone will have to become Jedi inorder to compete in PvP since no one will be resistant to lighsaber damage. Thanks for reducing the number of viable classes for PvP to one.

" Will I have to retain my Force Sensitive skills after I purchase Force Discipline skills?

Yes. As other professions have requirements so do the Force Discipline skills. A player must purchase 6 full lines (24 skill boxes) of Force Sensitive skills to qualify to purchase Force Disciplines "



Please Tell me I am reading this wrong, are you saying that for those of use for example are at 4-4-4-4 in the intaite tree are going to have to put all of our skill boxes into the FS trees? I have worked hard to get over 4million xp and now your telling me thatthis is going to transfer into less then 186000 xp? Please tell me I am reading this wrong?

Grammatical error:


"Not all Jedi were masters of the lightsaber and if you do not choose these skills, you will only even have a training lightsaber unless you sacrifice Jedi Skill boxes and learn the skill."


Should that read:


"Not all Jedi were masters of the lightsaber and if you do not choose these skills, you not even have a training lightsaber unless you sacrifice Jedi Skill boxes and learn the skill?"






You also called the Millenium Falcon a "pirateship."

Thanks for the info TH. Can you please give us details on a few of the other things that concern us:

#1: Jedi rarity. What is the method to maintain Jedi being rare? Is this an issue or not?

#2: Jedi Visibility and Bounties: Are the bounties going to be working again and if so at which level do they start? Could you also give us some details and clarification as to how we acquire visibility as no one knows for sure currently and it is all speculation.

#3: Jedi Deaths: Can we have an actual explanation this time of how the death system works. Last time even blair's response in the Jedi forums was incorrect. Either that or our skill loss death system was bugged somehow.


Need more information. We're all information addicts around here.

Ok, I don't know if I read this right


Say a player has an account on live with his 2 slots, a main, and a jedi


When Publish 9 hits live, our Jedi will still be intact, and still be Jedi, while our main will now be force sensitive, and be at a padawan level, without sacrificing our current professions or completing any further quests?




You already have a Jedi, so what happens is you will need to select skill for your new Jedi and thats it.


The FS and padawn stuff is for players who have not yet unlocked their slot.

Please excuse me if this is listed somewhere, but I was unable to find a definitive answer.


Its all based on how developed your Jedi is. If you have an existing Jedi, then what you will do is select the boxes you want. Because you're a Jedi, you will be choosing Jedi skills, not Force Sensetive skills...

Thanks so much TH and very good job.


A point af clarification if possible.

I like the fact that my Jedi xp stored will be kept in the process of transition.

But for the Xp used (Aka boxes purchases), I got credited by the number of boxes or the Jedi xp that it has cost ?


If it is the number of boxes, we can already say it is a great gift you give to player and I would bless you until the end of time for that to


Thats the way we want it to work, but we have to do the code and Im not making any statements on thatuntilthe work is actuallydone...

Any character account you have may have both slots, though that is a lot of work...

Will there be a way for those that didn't unlock our FS slots before the publish (or for those of us who didn't grind at all) to find out what our Holo professions were? I am very curious... My first one said Master Dancer, I would like to know what the others were.

Thanks!

Question's already asked above, but I'll ask it again just so the above questioner doesn't feel lonely:


So is this a 100% YES that our current Jedi slot will be the character slot that gets the conversion? Or will it be our Main slot? Is it safe to level my Main slot to a full Regular Skills template without worrying about having to drop any skills for Jedi skills after Publish 9?

If you already have an existing Jedi character, your existing JEDI slot will remain the Jedi slot and your main character will remain as it is. So yes, you may continue to level your main any way you wish.

Will my Main slot be FS? Or will I have to redo all the quests if I want him to be Force Enhanced too?

Yes, you're main slot will be force sensitive, but it will be at a Padawan level with all of your original skills intact. You may choose to develop your Main Slot up through Jedi Knight. If you develop this main character up through Jedi Knight, you will have to sacrifice your regular professions. If you want to develop your second slot as your Jedi Knight, you may choose to do all of the Force Sensitive Quests over again thereby unlocking the slot. By completing the Force Sensitive quests you can make your second slot Force Sensitive also. You may even choose to develop your second slot as a full status Jedi knight. You may even choose to develop both of your slots as Jedi if you wish. There are many possible combinations, but because there is a quest based system in place now, your main slot must be the starting point of Jedi character development after Publish 10.



The Archives were a little ambiguous. Players with existing Jedi will continue with their original Jedi as the Jedi in the new system. In the next paragraph, Mains will be force sensitive with all original profession skills intact at Padawan Level of Jedi advancement. Additional slot would have to complete quests to unlock force sensitivity.


A little confusing, to me anyway. Of course, I'm not all that bright.

Quick question about the quests. Are the quests specific enough to each character (and not just a couple of quests for the entire player base) to prevent someone from completing the quests and then posting that information? That would then alow pretty much everyone to have a walkthrough of the quests and get their FS.

So this means that we will not have to spend 24 skill points on the Force Sensitive skills if we're already a Jedi right? So how many skill points do we get as a Jedi?
