Wow So this is Great Its like buying a ticket to a movie that you've been waiting to see since the previews. And when you walk up to the usher Andinstead of ripping you ticket, he bends you over and tells you there are no seats left,andthere wontbe for the next few weeks! Well then why the hell did you even sell the ticket, ahh because its so easy to take money from people than it is to give a decent explanation.Well I dont think im the only one when i say im getting sick of buying tickets to a show i cant even see or enjoy. Might be time to go see something else. Like many of you ive spent the past few months trying to become a jedi, then i waited another week for publish 10 to finally go live, just to find out that Christmas wont be coming this year. THANKS DEVS! You"ve outdone yourselves yet once again

After reading more closly (as suggested), I've carefully removed my head from my -self edit-.

Once again proving I need to get more sleep...

Chill people chill - read this closely - if you are glowy now you DO NOT have to wait for any phase.....



How and when does this visit happen? The old man will visit you when you have completed the requirements of the new path to becoming a Jedi. While this new path is still a secret, it is no where near as daunting as the holo-professions method. We have made additional provisions for those that worked partially through the old system. Here is how you will be allocated a visit based on the old system:


If you have… You will be granted access to the village…

No professions remaining: Automatically qualify

1 profession remaining: Automatically qualify

2 professions remaining: Group 1

3 professions remaining: Group 2

4 professions remaining: Group 3

5 professions remaining: Group 4


Since there is a large wave of players that will be going through the system, we are going to be monitoring traffic daily as players start and finish the Force Sensitive quests. When enough people have completed their path, we will open it up the village to the next group. Groups 1 – 4 will qualify for a visit when the village traffic has died down. .Of course, if you qualify for the visit under the new system, you will automatically be granted a visit from the old man.

I think gating the old man is a bad idea. I am on my silent holo (silent on second holo, 11 profs) and I have no idea what group I am in. Right now my only reason to play this game is to obtain a Jedi character, and I don't think its fair to gate the old man visit.


How about removing the old man gating during the day when not that many people are on?


I am aware that I probably have a long grind ahead of me and that is fine, however I have maxxed out on all of the experience points I can and really have no reason to play the game if I am being gated. All I want to do is get started, get my free tree or two, and start grinding again...


Thanks

Hope the devs read all of these posts (and make some changes like temporary system for people who played for 6 or more months got to the silent prof but didn't grind 30 proffesions and giving them a extra character)

Thunderheart you really need to sort this out, All devs ca'nt ignor people here, and you msut clear all issues up and quick.

Bugs first:
Swoops etc wont call in the item bar still
Maps on shuttle temrinals are messed up, maps are messed up in one way or the other

For players:
No matter what proefssions you have done/got etc, you need to have certain badges as well to become glowing and make the first step to your quest, so if you have 25 profs and got like 5 badges and none such as the jedi temple for example you will not get glowing.
There are guides on the forums telling you how to do this and wha tyou need.

AS for this late feature thunderheart, well i hate it.
I can see that it is there to stop mass people in the village,and to stagger the jedi unlocking but this is the wrong way to do this.

If you have been playing for a long time, and hated the jedi grind approach and enjoyed having a selcetion of professions but have explored the galaxy and expeirenced the world then this is really unfair.
If anything it should go on how long you have played the game, if you want to do this.

BUT
You shouldnt this should be scrapped and a random timer created for the old man to spwan for each person. Could be 1 day, 2 dyas 3 days, etc, and a max of 7, this will anoy us but is a far better system than this jaw droppingly appaling idea. So people that have done many professions either are away from the game (they are old players and may not be playing but with subcriptions open) or not many people actually do it, or if they are slow doing it, the rest have to suffer, and from what you say it could be weeks and even months for some of us to be even get a chance to go to the vilalge, this is just out right wrong.

Agaon as some poeople said, the casual gamer gets the short end of the sitck, people that like playing th egame in a certain way get the short end of the stick, and favouring some poeple over others when we all pay the same money is jsut wrong.

This needs to be looked like and re-examined, and soon

thanks

Hi TH


I am guessing you are currently banging your head on a desk reading all these posts....and probably trying to work out a way of a) keeping people who are threatening to leave and b) making the game work....


I must admit my initial reaction was anger, but after reading your posts i have calmed down.


I have been playing the game for about 6 months now, i have only mastered 2 proffs, but i have a nice collection of badges, but i have been playing with the knowledge that holo grinding was being scrapped, so i took 2 proff's i liked and mastered them and when i found out about the trials i kepts these proffs (medic and tk) so i would be ready for the trials.


I feel it unfair a) on the people who have grinded but not unlocked b) the people who play the game dreaming of becoming jedi.


Why do people like starwars....lightsabres, jedi. Granted this game is allround, but i dont think the changes are fair and that is the main problem, why should people have to wait to become jedi, surely they should be able to do it when they want...this way people who wanted to become jedi now have to wait until you decide that they are ready.


I also think alot of frustration has been created by SOE lack of information given to the players...CSR's are supposed to be service reps but offer no SERVICE!!!


people want to know, when the old man will visit, so they dont just waste time. what group they are in, what they have been waiting for over the past few months.


please just try and give people the direct information they want. don't keep secrets and speak in riddles. we just want to be kept informed of what is happening. I feel if you had warned us about the spawn of the old man earlier the condition and content of the messages in this forum wouldnt of been so bad.


Could you please answer the following


If i glow am i in group 1? or does that mean i have just received enough badges to be eligable


what happens if i am afk when the old man comes to visit? will he just wait


Thank you TH

"no more RPG left"? I'd say "Nothing but RPG left".

RPG = "Role Playing Game" NOT "Level Gaining Game"

Try going out and having fun, talking to people, having fun playing a role. If you don't have fun with your character as it is, try something different, you might like it. If you want a game to 'beat', go play something else. It appears that the old man is not set up to visit everyone at once, so I'd go relax, have fun. If you qualify, you'll get your visit. Just don't expect him to be sitting there waiting for you the moment you log in.

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but never mind


the update has been on for 3 hours now. Give the dev team a break !


btw I'm not a jedi and i haven't unlocked.


Being a Jedi is not what this game is about people ! You bought this game why ? I think there are a lot of you who need to think about that, there's more to do than just whine about why an old man hasn't visited you, grow up !


I'd like to say that I'm pleased with the rest of the updates in Pub 10,


LOVE the crafting averages and the new findfriend command. Checked the planetary map and guess what ??? no more empty vendors! YAY !


Congrats to the dev team and all at SOE for their hard work, keep it up
