Thread: The Path of the Jedi: Reckoning of Effort
Since there is a large wave of players that will be going through the system, we are going to be monitoring traffic daily as players start and finish the Force Sensitive quests. When enough people have completed their path, we will open it up the village to the next group. Groups 1 – 4 will qualify for a visit when the village traffic has died down. Of course, if you qualify for the visit under the new system, you will automatically be granted a visit from the old man.
You all take it to mean:
I have to wait weeks to get in!
Lets see ... TH said DAILY ... not 3 weeks .. not months.
And re-read the last line again. If you qualify under the new system, you don't need to care about the old .. at all (except maybe for some credit towards FS skills). Studies on TC has shown its not that hard to get the old man to visit you under the new system.
I feel bad for the devs .. they can't win. Of course, this just goes along with the saying that you can't please all the people all the time.
Keep up the good work guys, there are those of us out there that appriciate the work and direction that the game is heading.
i have only mastered 3 professions, none of which were my 1st holo.
"You feel a surge of the Force within you"
does anyone else think that major force credit should me given to those who are able to overcome the death watch bunker?
does this mean that some kid on summer vacation who grinded 23 hrs a day for 2 weeks is more qualified than myself to become force sensitive?

He said daily, not hourly, which I take to Me then will be checking it once a day to let the next group in, which could take weeks......

The old man will visit you when you have completed the requirements of the new path to becoming a Jedi.While this new path is still a secret, it is no where near as daunting as the holo-professions method.We have made additional provisions for those that worked partially through the old system.Here is how you will be allocated a visit based on the old system:
You will be granted access to the village…
Automatically qualify
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4

Always.
While very relieving to finally know how things were happening under the old system, I'm a bit distressed about the highlighted portion of the quote above. I can understand why this is going to be the case, as anyone who went on TC2 knows (the lag was awful!), it still upsets me a bit to see this is the way it is going to happen.
The question I have about this is: You have said "When enough people have completed their path, we will open it up the village to the next group." If I am in group 4, am I looking at around 30 weeks before I am able to go to the village? That number (30) is based on:
The credit you will receive is…
6 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <----1 week
5 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----3 weeks
4 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----6 weeks (2 phases)
3 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----9 weeks (3 phases)
2 Force Sensitive branches will be granted <-----12 weeks (4 phases)
1 Force Sensitive branch will be granted <---me:31 weeks total from above.
If this is the case, then there are going o be a lot of REALLY, REALLY pissed off people, waiting around for their "turns" to get into the front door. I hope this isn't the case, but we'll just have to see.
