I was killed by a Sith Shadow about 630 meters outside the village, and the clone option menu won't appear.
I am stuck dead.

Not sure where to post this feedback... regarding HOLOCREDIT
Anyway, I did a couple professions prior the profession badges, and was hoping that I would still get creditfor those.

With previous posters I agree on this. Reverse the thought process and declare holo credit for force experience, and require the quest WITH FULL TIMER as it is now. Further reduce wepaon experience for sets of weapons. Rifles and Melee 25-1 or remain as is. Pistols, Carbines, and a few other weapons 20-1 or 25-1 if the rest stay as is. Most Melee and Rifle can do literally twice as much experience as these other weapons as they currently stand and lopping them in together I advice against.
If someone has unlocked, as in got the message, start them off at Padawan trials. If someone did 30 professions and didnt get lucky they do the same system as everyone else as far as waiting for quest phases etc. Doing the quest mandatory and force experience as a holo conversion makes the most people happy and also decreases the number of Jedi popping up the first week of publish 10. It's a win/win.
Only my suggestion but a good conversion would be that one class equals 175,000 force experience, the experience for the first box of a tree. Your average 24 profession hologrind would mean about 3 full trees and someone who went 30 almost 4, leaving each with some work to do but a good head start into the initiate requirement. if you will use only holo professions and silents achieved make a flat rate of maybe 400k force experience per holo and it should end up with something close to this as well.

Wow, never have I seen so many people that think they deserve somthing... Im actully impressed and must say Kudos..
Any chance you could throw some of that GAL my way so that I can get more money? ...lol
I agree with one of the posts that simply has the statement , you are no closer at 15 profs then 4 + 1 .
When I had to do 30 profs- I was not any closer at my 3 holos, in fact I was screwd with no help so in the respect I see your point. (in the same balance of it all you are no more jedi then the guy that did 4 + 1 , although they raised the requirement for sure..)
So with that in mind as long as they keep it up and make sure its not a "give away" to even the ones that played for a year but didnt grind..then that was exactly that CHOICE.... they chose not to get credit and chose not to grind.
Nobody said to anyone "You cannot be jedi", they didnt say you cannot do professions-- some said screw it and played the game...that is cool alot did that now they want something for not using the method and cash in on anything they can now. ( I know a few like that).
It all comes down to choice guys... all choice, you chose one way some chose another...its actully easy to understand it.
sorry to burst your bubble but yes someone that has done 15 proff. is much closer to being a jedi than someone that just stopped at silent lol. If your at 15 proff. you only have about 14 to 17 to go before unlocking vise 26 or 28 that non grinder has left to go lol. its very simple math bud. its very obvious nobody was unlocking unless they had 32 proffesions. Granted there were a few lucky ones i saw that unlocked at 27 or so lol.

I have to agree with Lotussutol, I ground thru almost 29 professions and did not open my fs slot, but like you said I took a gamble that did not pay off, though I hope that I get credit for the ones I had to do, hence the holo ones should get credit, so if you finished 4 of them, then 4 of the trees should open for you, with you selecting which to choose.
I live in Las Vegas, I gamble, I help build the large casino's with my gratious donations, same idea, like all of the other holo-grinders I lost, the house won, trust me they don't reward me for bad bets 8)

Hi,
This is where I am at right now.
Got the visit from the old man.
Killed the 2 sith.
Got the data disk from one of the sith.
Went to the location that was placed in my data pad.
BUG = When I get there the waypoint vanished and there was no camp.
I will wait for a bit and see if 2 more sith show up and give me a new waypoint. The possible problem could be that there are 2 Rogue Bageraset's here they might have killed off the camp before I showed up or hindered the spawning of the camp.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
I found another problem. When I check out my Quest Journal it shows the Investigate portion of the beginning quest is complete. I could not have completed it as I did not destroy any sith or even see the camp.
Also I killed off the rogue bagarset spawn and the camp did not appear.
I will however go to Dathomir now and see if Jamilla will talk to me.
I will update this post once I find something out.

I was doing the quest part for the FS, had the old man visit after 2 hours, had the sith attack after 30 minutes and got the disk, went to the location, and the waypoint disappeared and nothing else happened. so I guess I am stuck there now.

OK update on my previous reply.
This is important, when I went back to coronet the starport was totally gone. Nothing was there so I went to a shuttle port and shuttled to Tyrena starport so that I could go to Dathomir and see if Jamilla would talk to me even though the Sith camp waypoint had unexplainably disappeared.
Well when I get there the sith camp waypoint reappeared.
Going to go check it out.

OK new update.
I go to Coronet starport and now its back. Used my swoop to get to the waypoint and the waypoint stays but no sith camp.
I'm oging to try to log and go back in and see if that helps.

When doing the rebel theme park on Corellia, the last mission from Wedge Antilles he USED to give a rebel flight suit, now he gives you a rebel signet ring, BUT in the dialogue, he STILL SAYS, "here, a rebel flight suit just for you."
Hmm, I am semi-working on that theme park now. It'd be cool if they gave flight suits again, seeing as JTL is right around the corner...

If it's true that you need tomaste three eliteprofessions (which is still in doubt, no ?) then that's silyy !
Thatmeans grinding professions. And isn't that what they wanted to get rid off ?
Do themeparks ? Yes.
Do dungeons? Yes.
See places around the world ? Yes.
But grinding professions ? Pleee-aaase !

Request 3 -
This isn't a problem, but a request - just for test center: For publishes such as this one, with little to no reason for most entertainer types to log in to TC, would it be possible to put NPC entertainers in cantinas? It's impossible to get battle fatigue healing on test center.
Message Edited by AnnnThrax on 08-24-2004 09:44 PM
I agree with this, or at least a charachter building terminal that has healing and buffs enabled on it. It's hard to find doctors that would buff too on a test center.
As far as more feedback goes on this test...
I love these quests. I just finished Captain Sarguillo's first 10 rounds of patrols, a little repetitive, but yet still fun and cool. I enjoy this big epic game content. It's a lot pretier to look at than grinding professions. SOE, my hats off to you for doing this right, even though this is how should've been from the beggining at game launch. Now, I can only hope you can put big epic quests liek these for the Galactic Civil War and Neutral stuff. After all, you guys did say the Galactic Civil War is the elder game of Star Wars Galaxies. Please don't dont foget about the ground after JtL.
Now onto number 2...
Can anyone tell me what do I do with all these resources I've been looting off of the Sith's that I find on my patrol points.
Another nasty bug....
This bug is nasty. It happened to me when I was tryign to get back to the village when a creature agro'd me (on Dathomir?!, that shouldn't happen! lol) right when I hit the mist wall. It bouncer me out saying I need to be at peace. That's fine EXCEPT it removed all my stormtrooper armor off of me and DID NOT put into my inventory. I'm hoping that it did not put in back in my inventory because A) my inventory is at 60 items alreayd due to all those silly Sith resources I looted. I'm hoping that when I destory them, or use them, that my stormtrooper armor will return to my inventroy. If not, then thats a nasty bug and it's a good thing this is TC2.
So word to the wise, STAY AWAY FROM THE MIST WALL if currently under attack.
Everything else, I am enjoying it so far.
Now,..back to testing.
