If you really dont want there to be much stress on the servers with so many people entering the village at once....why arent the unlocked folks already there? Why the first 24 hours at all? Shouldnt they have gone immediately in order to start clearing the way for everyone else? Its just so contradicting....

This is so screwed. I used 2 holos. The first said to master AS. The second was slient. Meaning i only had one profession remaining to unlock. Now today when i login "i feel a faint sense of the force"? This makes absolutely no sense. I had to master only one profession to unlock, but because i didnt use anymore holocrons after the second was silent I only feel a faint sense of the force. Come on devs this is so screwed. Basically I had one profession remaining, yet they changed the system and if i had used another holocron it MAY? have told me to do another profession.

I just have a question, if and when you get visited by the old man and you turn it down, can you ever get a visit again? Just curious.

We all know how much cities lag when there are a 100 ppl around.. Can you imagine how the village was when like 30-40% of the galaxiespopulation decended on the village all at once?? I can see it now a big flammin' C&B!






I can appreciate the gating. I was on TC2 with 200 people in the village at 5 fps and everyone ksing. I, along with most others,just want to know which gateare allowed to go in.

I must say I am enjoying this path alot more tha the old one. Atleast I have a sense of achievement and knowing roughtly where I am.


I am concerned that you are going to pull a fast one though. You already admitted raising the amount of holo professions, Which I consider greatly unfair and was basically rewarding(yet again) those holo grinders.


Please do not do this again. If you do raise requirements or somehow stall peoples progressions and I find out about it then I will be cancelling my accounts faster than a carbineer looses HAM.

Kregi: How many profs did you do before your first holo??


The fact it went silent implies that you had done atleast 4 of them at that point. ie AS was your 4th holo prof

Why not just make the **edit**ing village instanced like the Corvette so everyone can have an equal chance instead of making people wait months so you can get extra cash?


You **edit**ers at SOE are greedy, vile, sons of **edit**.....






Because the longer you wait the more monthly fee's come in?

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.

Thunderheart...


You may want to scream at the top of your keyboard the sentence I've highlighted from your original post. It seems people think that the holo-grinders are somehow getting preferential treatment. It seems to me, that the non-holo-grinders will get a visit from the old guy when they qualify under the new system despite whether your gating the holo-grinders.


Just a suggestion... Or perhaps I'm wrong in my interpretation too?

Just when you think SOE can't screw something up any worse than they already have, they do.


Way to go, guys.


Look, you can't be trusted to run a bug free game. You've proven that again and again, especially on quests, be they static or dynamic.


The path MUST be known so that players can know if they're encountering problems. Because you guys cannot be trusted NOT to have problems, because it's painfully obvious, again and again, with every patch, that quality control is JOB LAST at SOE.

Crap that won't let me quote...great forums we have here







Since you don't want to tell us that glowy = auto visit or not, nor any other relevant details that holo and non holo-grinders are asking in regards to the visit, can you at least clarify something for me?



These professions remaining, are they counted back from 32 total professions, 8 holo professions or 5 holo professions? So If I did 3 holos and got a silent and grinded through 19 total professions after giving up when hearing about the new quest system, does that mean I have 13, 3, or 1 prof remaining? If I have 13 or 3, count my threeaccounts as good as gone. If I have 1, there is hope and I will stick with it.
