Starter kit issues aside, I guess the areas of concern I have are:

- Language skills do not seem to be "converted". You end up with no language skills (seems odd for a Jedi).

- Once you move from FS skills to Jedi, then from Jedi to normal skill you cannot "undo last".

- The conversion leaves you with only 10/10 Force Power until you relog (known issue I know)

All of these things are more annoyance than anything, but as the publish hits the Live servers there may be complaining.

Never got my Jedi. Devs gave me the excuse that there migth be a cut off limit sooooo.....I'm hoping another convert happens so I have a shot at testing.

I am still having a conversion problem. I have a jedi on main for several omnths and im only getting 1 novice profession in jedi then im asked to allocate the rest in non-jedi skills. I have no robes. I do have the jedi starting kit. After relogging I lost all my FSS skills as well as my force bar. I had no schematics in my DP either. I have toons on tc2 and both are having this problem after every single rollback.

TC2, name: Duress

I'm having exactly the same problem as above.

ok, 3rd conversion, so in order what happened:

1st conversion: Jedi with all skills, but no resources / crystals for sabers.
2nd conversion: Jedi starter kit (no gas...), but just the FS-skills.
3rd conversion: Got my skills back again. Therefor the starterkit is gone -_-

Anyway i found some friendly players who supported me with several resources and a colour crystal. I crafted a 1st and 3rd gen saber. 1gen got 209 dmg, 5.1 speed, 14 fc. 3gen 290 dmg, 5.0 speed, 38 fc. Looking at the stats the first gen is much better, but with crystals (negative fc) the 3rd gen might be much better. Didn t get those, so i tried with 1gen.

The default dmg output is damn low. But with specials it increases by far. Tho there s a lvl-regarding system, cos the dmg on NS is far lower than on wrixes. Regarding new jedi this might be a pain as you don t have the force to use the saberspecials. And as you have about no defenses at that lvl, it s even harder. Someone allready said, that with 3000 saber you are lost all the way.

The saberspeed is really low. I mean, i can block ranged attacks with fast moves, but it takes 5 seconds to fullfill a dervish? Well, as the dmg output is pretty high, it might be ok.

The droprate of crystals is still low it seems. Killed about 50 NS, found nothing, so i m still running around with a 1gen saber.

Oh and it would be nice if we could master 3 trees as we could before pub9

The Guide says "Durability should range from 700 to 1400 per crystal/pearl". Those numbers apparently aren't exact since I have a 682 from today's conversion proving otherwise.

probably meant from around 700 to around 1100...give him a break

Very little substance to the guide, in fact there's hardly any information in there at all.

We have conflicing informations about unused Twin Crystals, eithter G or Rogue said they would convert to power crystals, yes on the test servers, they convert to colour.
Which is it to be ?
In addition, surely we should get a choice ? I am almost Knight, and I stockpiled twin crystals for the Guardian+ journey, like many people I have over 30 of them, and now I am faced with having 30 colour crystals on Tuesday - something I do not want.
Please give us a choice. It can't be that hard to add a radial menu to crystals giving the OPTION of colour or power ?
If that is too hard to do, then the game has been poorly designed

There are still no defensive stats on Jedi robes, nor any information on the level we can expect.
On TC2, with no force armour to use, and no conventional armour, I get slaughtered in PvE. You can't leave these promised stats out, then throw them in on Tuesday and expect it to work perfectly.

In the Jedi Archives, we were promised backend modifiers to bring saber damage up to current level, but combat balance level displayed figures. This has not happened. Saber damage is under 50-60% of that on live.

We still do not know what happens to our main chars as current Jedi. We were told it would become FS, but that isn't the case on Corbantis Test. Which version is correct ?

For those Jedi that don't have any spare crystals because they are all in sabers - many Jedi struggle for crystals, and don't have the luxury of spares - how are they supposed to play after the patch with no colour crystals ?
At the very least, a Jedi should be able to craft or harvest a very low condition "Refined Colour Crystal Pack" so that they are never without a working saber.

There are many more unanswered questions that should have been in that guide.

That's not conflicting.

power crystals = color crystals

thanks for the guide thunderheart but I hstill have a question that I do not see awnsered here. I see that each skill box I currently have will yeild 8 points in the conversion but what about saved xp? will that be converted exactly and not messed with? IE if I have 50k xp saved it would convert to 50k in the new system. I see no reason it wouldn't but with all the changes I wanted to make sure before I kept saving the xp.
