Just one question.
Will sabers still do kinetic damage?
There is no mention of the saber damage type in this at all.
Dont know. We're working to see whats possible.
Ah, but those were under the rules of the old Jedi Council before the fall of the Old Republic. The Jedi are all but extinct and remaining Jedi and Force sensitive characters can create and adhere to their own standards for survival.Thus the Devs can tweak it to their liking. The new system sounds and looks great. I know it will feel even better.

I am no star wars expert, but don't the trials come before you become a jedi knight? (hint: yes they do). Continuity? What continuity

ok first all that stuff is cool but im very disapointed that jedi are getting more more work the the rest of the game and professions like those that are still very broken SQ,BH,Ranger... and all the other ones... and the GCW should be put before jedi... any comments TH, Q?
TH already did comment on this, the just of it was:
Hologrinding has ruined the game and the GCW, therefore the Jedi changes HAD to come before they did the GCW update otherwise the entire effort would be useless. They want the drastic changes everyone is making to their characters causing all the inbalances to go away before balancing everything else.
This is correct 
What will happen to my existing lightsabers?
When the Publish goes live, these lightsabers will not be able to be equipped anymore. Existing Jedi with lightsabers will have the option to "break down" their existing lightsabers into their un-tuned components. They may then re-tune these components to their new lightsabers. The values may appear lower but we are maintaining the level of lightsaber power behind the scenes. These power levels will then be adjusted again accordingly when the combat balance is pushed to servers.
I must say.... I am happy with this.... You guys seem to have come up with a VERY good idea!
I have 1 little question about the conversion though (See my sig )
Do we(I) get more credit for finishing the Holo path, or just credit per profession gained? (Makes a difference to how I progress for the next few weeks )
Once again, THANK YOU!
