I have had my main (and it's the only one I ever play) character for a year now on Shadowfire. I did 29 professions and unlocked about 2 weeks after Pub9 went live. I have over 70 badges and over 30 Location badges, I have done Reb and Hutt theme parks, not to mention every little quest I could find from NPC bystanders. I glow with the Force, yet after 2 days I have not received a visit from the old man.

A guildmate of mine who has done 6 professions, done zero holocrons, and has 71 badges, got his glow and a visit from the old man yesterday!

It seems like the new system is in place just fine, but those who unlocked under the old system are suffering because the old system was turned off!

I'm sure I can't be the only one getting screwed like this.

You're not. My friend and I both unlocked, him on 32 and I was on 27 (both of us are glowing). Both of us have yet to be visited....oh but our guildie who mastered 8 professions got the visit

Feedback Request:

• If you finished 32 professions before publish 10, how many days went by before the old man visited you?




• I finished 10 professions and 3 of which we holo's. He visited on the second day.


• Before anyone asks, I have 10 Professions all the POI's, all the theme parks(not the rebel), 1 vette mission.


• What happened when the old man visited you?




• I talked to him I am wandering around to get the sith to come.


• What did you do once the old man visited you?




• Headed back to home planet. (Had to goto work)


• I will add more once I get more.

I also wanted to note. I am happy with the publish so far.I understand the devs reasons, although I do not agree fully, I do however understand.

I will probably bring some flames with this but alias,

Guys and Gals you need to remember this is only a game, you may not like how things are going but in a couple months publish 10 will not matter, it will be a whole new set of issues. Remember life is a never-ending circle in which you mustdeal withwhat life deals and move on

Feedback Request:

• If you finished 32 professions before publish 10, how many days went by before the old man visited you?
• I finished 7 professions, 1 of which was a holo. He visited on the morning of 9/2/2004.
• For badges, I have all POIs, 7 professions, both Warren, Rebel, Jabba, Nym, 3 Rebel Story Arcs, and all Hero of Tatooine. I think that's all, 75 badges total, maybe a bit over 75.
• What happened when the old man visited you?
• I was fighting some Meatlumps that jumped me on the way to check my factory outside my house. He ran up in the middle of the fight and afterwards (wasn't a long fight), I Conversed with him. I answered his questions, he gave me a Crystal, and then he left.
• What did you do once the old man visited you?
• Unfortunately, I had to go to work, so I finished checking my factory, went back into my house and logged out. I'm hoping to continue this tonight when I log back in with a visit from the Sith.
• More to come as events unfold.

It is ironic, but the two folks in our guild that did the most hologrinding, completing all 4 holocrons and doing about 20+ professions, have yet to be visited by the old man. Others in the guild that have not done many holocrons at all are receiving the visits. Both sets of people have done quite a few badges, somewhere in the neighborhood of 55+. Both sets are 'glowy'.

Random luck or poetic justice? From what I can tell, hologrinders are not getting any sort of preferential treatment.

I finally got my visit this morning right after server reboot. I was checking my mail in our player city. I have 100 badges, 6 vette missions, 24 profs, all holos were done and I was on my silent. I have been in game since launch andwas getting slightly worried. As for your groups of who goes first, I say FU and your full of SH!T, I think its totally random as to when youget it.

Yesterday I was logged in from server reboot til server reboot, and while I was logged in, I had 4 of my guild mates get a vist while I was logged in and I have 3X the professions and badges they do. I also know for a fact that 2 of the 4 didnt do any holos, and they only did 2 professions! So as for your explination of how you wil be contacted by the old man TH... /flipsbird. You are a liar, and need to get your sh!t together, communication is key to success, so here is your damn feedback. Have a nice F'ing day.

TH YOUR A LIAR!!!
