Devs, I just want to say that I think you're doing a great job. You do lots of great things and I feel the need to say so in light of all thenon-constructive criticismin these threads.

I like that the requirements for glowy, as I understand them, are varied. It's good that Jedi is a class that can't be mastered in a grind session over the course of days or weeks. Jedi needs to be a journey and it looks like you've made it so. This is a HUGE step up from holo grinding and I laud you for the effort. This new system promises to be much more fun, and that's what I'm interested in. Fun. So thanks.

I'm sorry that this thread has so many complaints from people who are obviously not paying attention (it was made clear that the visit from the Old Man would take anywhere from 1 to 3 days--nobody said the visit would be instantaneous) and are mad because obtaining the prestige of Jedi will take more time and dedication under this new system. I can understand that those who have mastered many professions and still haven't seen the old guy are frustrated but it's only a few days, guys. Just relax.

Hate to say it cause I want to be a Jedi and under the new system hell im already force ranking 6 surging with the force within or whatever it says andmastered a fewholo proffessions so maybe in the running to see the old man some day. But all you have done isswaped one type ofgrinding for another only this one is easier quicker more seductive and so everyone and his sheep are doing it. It took me 3 months to make master bio engineer because a little box told me to and I thought hell it might be fun, it takes me less than an evening to get one of the new steps to being visited by said old man. I know 3 months is longer than most but it wasnt the easiest of proffessions infact id say the hardest to master in the game but there you go.

I understand that you still have to do the trials but by the masses of people hunting the path toforce sensativityno one really sees this as a detterent that mastering 32 proffessions was. The time limit may cut down on the numbers of jedi seen today but in 3 months time the server will be floaded with them and then every 3 months after that. Till in the end the dev team says what the hell Jedi for everyone. I dont want to see Jedi just become another brawler type class because its the only way to keep them inbalance with the rest of the game. The solution lies in either offering people a chance to play in Jedi rare or non existent worlds and then people that play this game to be jedi on a jedi server. By catering to the people that say we want to be jedi those that want to be in anauthentic star wars universe are being pushed to one side. Till such time as the only thing that sells this game will be the jedi cause any notion that its actually star wars will be lost. And it wasnt just the lightsabers that made star wars great but I hardly ever see imperial or rebel officers in uniform any more there all too busy hiding on some far off swamp planet for fear of the jedi hunting them.

12 hours and 2 days and no visit from the old man I'm ready to quit this game. A friend of mine logs on for a half hour and gets a visit, and he had 3 professions done same badges as me, and didn't even finish his Holos. God I'm starting to hate this game.

Well, I have the same problem as some of the others, I have been glowy straight outta the patch, but no visit, very disheartening.

Same problem here, I'm a 4440 doc and I can't use any stims, wound packs, cure disease or poison. All I can do is buff.

Thanks SOE My Master Combat medic can now only do quick heals from the medic line, every time I try to toss a area stim or ranged stim I get a stupid message that I can not do that yet.

When I mention it in guild chat one of the guys who did test center said they had the same problem there, so this is a bug that was present and reported yet you went ahead and went live with this publish.

I have lost my vendors, I am on a waiting list for jedi, now I can not do 3/4 of my characters stuff because of a bug that was a know issue in test.............

Wait for JTL??????? I dont think so, you will only screew that up as well, your track record at this points stinks.

Aces High 2 cost the same per month and I will be saving $15.00 because I have 2 accounts with you........

You have lost a customer..........................

I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER SOE Product as this is the SECOND one I have seen go down the tubes over stupidity.

Anyone ever ask me about Planetside or SWG or everquest I will flat tell them not to go through the frustration.

so how do i become a jedi on the new system

Hey Thunderheart, just wanted to report some bugs.

1. Healing in combat is borked to hell for some reason.

2. How bout looking into the reason that 100's of people got stuck in the Kauri starport today, I was one of them.

3. Roll back the server and put patch 10 on the shelf until you can hire some programmers that know what they're doing. lmao
