I know that this is going to get buried, but it would be nice if there was an npc on each planet just for converting xp to force sensitive xp. I don't look forward to fighting the crowds on dathomir every day. I'm not talking about any training.. just converting once we hit our cap... going back and forth to dath to get 30k experience (from 900k cap) seems a bit brutal to me.
Saying its Brutal is being Nice... Lets hope we can pull through this one.

It's becoming clear to me now that this game is a perfect model of the second Death Star. Operational, but so full of holes you can pilot a YT-1300 through it.
Not True!!
The Corvette is not required. I do not have it. Try something like this:
Badges common to those people who have achieved 'inner glow' include:
3 exploration badges (to jedi-related locations)
Jabba's themepark
Nym's themepark
a factional themepark
Theed Librarian
a profession mastery
Warren badges

Ok , I have encountered another glitch....
The old man came to me and gave me the waypoint to Mellichae (sp?) and told me to destroy him and bring some friends with. At this point another old man comes running up to me and wants to do the same thing. I get the waypoint from the first old man and I ignore the second old man completely. I go to the waypoint given and "poof" - waypoint disappears and nothing is there. I check my journal and it says i have completed this mission. Again... I am lost.
The thing that seems to be nice about this entire quest is that for every step of the way I have encountered glitches and bugs the first time , but sooner or later the old man or sith comes back and it works the second time. I hope the old man sends me on the exit quest again despite the fact the journal says I am done.
Who else has encountered this? Do you know a work-around ? I submitted a bug report but doubt it will provide me much insight or help.

I know a lot of people are complaining about the 30:1 conversion ratio. For someone with combat, thats like mastering a prof 10 times over, just for one tree, but its not that bad. First of all, combat xp is a 3:1, which means that 1k xp and 100 combat xp give the same amount of FS. Second, you don't hafta lvl up a prof from stratch. As a TKM,I would run out and spin attack mauler lairs. Each one gives 5000 xp and 500 combat xp. Do some math, and that equals about 3750 maulers for an entire FS tree. Lets just assume you get 12 maulers from a lair. That means you would need 325 lairs, and you would have some xp to spare. If you concentrate, then you can do a lair every 5 minutes. That means it would take 70 hours (I added 5 hours for buffs and such). You have 3 weeks per phase. So 70 hours divided by 21 days is 3 and a half hours a day. Thats not that bad, even leaves time to do other stuff. Sure it will take 4 and a half months, but you don't have to spend your whole life grinding, and you can make good money killing em.
Also, for amaster combat prof, huurton stalkers give out about the same xp, but are easier to kill. It would go faster with them, but they dont give as big a payout.

I invested in FS crafting experimentation, but not seeing any more in the way of experimentation points with BE crafting. I'm hoping this is an oversight.

couple questions i'd like answered so any please feel free to answer them for me, i keep hearing to many different answers to these following questions it confussing:
1 - At the village while doing missions for the Captain, how many times do you have to do his quests?? ive already done one complete set of patrols, and now im doing what is labeled Extra Patrols.
2 - Who do you do after Captain quests, I talked to elder and i choose to do missions for Whip and find the lost villagers, and he told me i was busy doing missions for some one else.
3 - Do we have to continuely do missions in the Village to gain xp to convert into force xp, or can we go off and max out any where and come back to the village to convert them. Meaning are we restricked to the Village once we've begun quests for one of the npc's and have to complete the village phases?
4 - Any one have any idea how to defeat the padawan quest, freind of mine did it and could not kill the mob, not only does he have 80% resists but he wields a lightsaber and uses force powers including heal which he does ever 10 seconds or so, I watched a teams of 15 get wiped out by this mob and never even made a scratch to them??
5 - Why did SOE screw over us smugglers once again?????? Now we have to pull out all WUKS,AUKS, and clamps from crate instead of them being removed on there own. Not only does this cause a problem for the smugglers, but you will see a rise in slicing prices do to the fact taht we have to pull from a crate.
6 - I know this is the wrong forum for this one but... whe n the hell is the long over do Smuggler Revamp. Us smugglers are gettign shafted once again. Cant use our spice experimentation , slicing 4 is still bugged untill you reach master and we still get nothing for reaching master smuggler, only the so called bonus, which is crap cuz itsa ctaully the sliceing xp gained at slicing 4.
Please anyone answer those questiosn for me so it makes it a little easier to understand and easier to get threw, if need if your on eclipse server drop me a tell or email ingame name Robti Vabin

I am very sad to say that I am about to hang my hat up in SWG....This latest "greatest" content is for lack of a better word... a joke.... Devs, can you please explain how waiting around for up to 3 days for an NPC to talk to you is content?.... The lack of real content in this game is just incredible.... I have never done one quest (and I have done most of them) that was clear, concise OR very fun.... Most of them are either incredibly frustrating or incredibly simple.... But I have stuck through this from DAY ONE in the hopes that things would get better.... Yet, they dont...and this new force system is an incredible joke.
Now I am told that you can only complete one of the quests per week once you do make it to the village.... That is incredibly unacceptable.... I am sad to say that the majority of decisions this game has made are CLEARLY for money.... You are going to hope that people do their one pathetic little quest per week and keep paying you while you bide your time for Lightspeed.....I just dont know... The ONLY reason I think most people are still playing this game is cuz of friendships, guilds etc... Not because of this "great" game....It is sad, you can grind to Master of most professions in a day or two and then what?... The Loot system is terrible, the PvP is terrible, the quests are terrible....
Now this chance to add something great and fun to this game (and it sure needs it) and this is what we get.... I have been paying you over $100 per month for over a year and I have to say that anyone who says that we customers do not have a right to complain is playing a different game then I am.....
Can someone there at SWG PLEASE actually make some quests and content that keep us 'busy' but are FUN... Waiting around for 3 days or running around in circles for 3 hours in the warren with no clear clue as to what your suppose to do... are NOT fun.... Other games manage to make great story driven quests that keep you busy for weeks and give super rewards.... Why dont you take a cue from them.... I just got into WoW Beta and I have been more entertained at level 5 then I have been as Master in this game....
DEVs please fix this game...

You'll get just phat lewts now. Gorath is in Phase I atm, so if you've done Captain's, you've unlocked the Combat Prowess / Ranged Accuracy branch. I was a dumba** and used my one free unlock on ranged acc hehebiwan:
2 - Who do you do after Captain quests, I talked to elder and i choose to do missions for Whip and find the lost villagers, and he told me i was busy doing missions for some one else.
I did Whip's and that's what the Captain tells me when I approach him now. Guess we're done with this Phase's unlock(s) and it's time to earn some FS xp.
3 - Do we have to continuely do missions in the Village to gain xp to convert into force xp, or can we go off and max out any where and come back to the village to convert them. Meaning are we restricked to the Village once we've begun quests for one of the npc's and have to complete the village phases?
I dunno, but for me, a Mstr Pistol / CH - there are way easier ways to earn some xp than those damned Sith. Yeah, feel free to move about the Galaxy.
4 - Any one have any idea how to defeat the padawan quest, freind of mine did it and could not kill the mob, not only does he have 80% resists but he wields a lightsaber and uses force powers including heal which he does ever 10 seconds or so, I watched a teams of 15 get wiped out by this mob and never even made a scratch to them??
No. Wait, I read a thread that you need to take out some other things first that help them regen force energy or something. Oh, and of course a CM wouldn't hurt
5 - Why did SOE screw over us smugglers once again??????
Dunno. I'm sorry for you, but I'm a CH. Wish I could be more sympathetic...

I finally found a reason to register and post. This whole Pub 10 is a serious mistake, when you said Quests are coming I thought we'd get real quests to become a Jedi "WooHoo!", well congrats on manipulating the Truth to your favor again. Why can't we have QUESTS to get the FS Boxes, not Quests to UNLOCK a FS tree. Speaking of Unlocking a tree You still have to earn the Xp for it, Oops big mistake. When I herd Quests I wanted Quests for Jedi not "Quests to unlock pointless things that I dont need right now and have to wait for the next Phase 2 and hope you get the one you want" (Oh yea and if you have 2 trees you want in the same Phase guess what you gotta do, wait 12 Weeks to get that phase again to get your skill.) This game took a Giant 900 Spin, not only are we going in the wrong direction, we're so messed up we dont know which way is. Devs need to make REAL Jedi Quests, not these BS excuses for quests we got now, Im pissed at this system, I would've taken Hologrinding over it anyday if I knew it was gonna end up like this. Devs stop thinking about your Paycheck and why don't you help the community for a change. I reported a bug in The Warren 3 months ago about the Turret Controls not shutting the Turret down, and I had a friend who went to The Warren, and whadda ya know, He was shot by the turret after the terminal said it was shut down. Pay more attention to the community or we will turn on you and leave one day.
