Why oh why do I have to swoop almost 12k every time I visit that nice Aurillian village. Is the immersion factor supposed to be that I live in the village until I make Jedi? The thing is I have a "life" outside village too, like guild, home town, structures to take care of, vendor etc.

Problem with the Medic Quest in Phase 1

Ifinished 15 patients and got this happy message from the doctor who gave mt the task:

But then looking in my system messages window i got this:

http://student.some.ox.ac.uk/cnlp/swg/jedi/medic_task_2.jpg

now looking back there is no message at 10 or at 5.

my fs quest journal says nothing about it being complete:

and i am unable to get the quest again until the next time this phase comes round. I have CSR'ed it and now am bugging it as the CSR was unable to confirm this. i though i would post this here with the links to help out.

I got3 branches off the bat, which is awesome for my meager mini-grinded 9 profs. That I am cool with.

What I am not cool with is the undertaking of a grind that makes theholo-chase look like sweet sweet newbdom.

Mathematically, this is a grind that borders impossible.

An instance of my situation;

TKM and Doctor, with free branches of Melee Def, Melee Spd and Melee Acc. Checking out the quests in this phase, I stupidly went for FSpersuasion. I cured my patients and got my skillunlocked. I hopped over to Pae to convert my xp, and realized the only conversion that I have that is replenishable for FS persuasion is med xp. Many have been or are docs, and we know as a master doctor, xp becomes capped at 80k. With a rate of 10 to 1, this xp nets you 8k FS xpwhen maxed.

I could probably get this xp in a day or two, and then jet back to the village and convert it. For the sake of being nice, I'll say that I'll work hard and get that 80k in a day. So we can convert that an call it 8k a day.

Breaking down the xp would be like so..

Novice - 6.25 days

Persuasion 1 - 21.875 days

That happened to two other people I know. One had done 3 holo's got zero free branches, the other had done 17 professions and was on his "silent holo's" and got zero free branches. Total BS.

Another guild member did the math regarding the conversion rates. And the way it translates out is that to do all 6 required branches the total points is equivilent to mastering 32.5 professions. Hmmm, 32.5 professions, sound like a familiar number. Hologrinding isnt done, its the same thing as before except now you need fs points instead of professions. Total total bs. SOE has no respect for its players and doesnt understand how to keep a promise.

When I die I want to go like my Grandfather, quiet and peacefully in my sleep. Not like the passengers, screaming and yelling in his car!

refer to my post on page 31 of this thread and you see the CSR/DEV response for your question, or at least...my estimation for their response lol

From what Ihave seen from my in game friends, It would appear that you do not have to have 31/32 professions in order to get a visit from the first guy. I know 3 people to date who have only matered 2-8 professions an have got visits from both the old guy and the 2 Sith. So don't dispair as it will happen. If you have the glow, you will be seen. I myself am still waiting after 2 days but I am using this time to sort out all the things I should do more often like paying maintenance and cleaning out my inventory and have not given up hope - yet. I am only what some people would call a casual gamer with only a few professions under my belt and and happy with the skills I have. I think that the new way of obtaining the FS slot is a much fairer way as opposed to people who either macro or don't have any commitments in RL.

in all honesty i think combat xp related FS skills are do-able its not exactly casual friendly though. Once you have a master combat profession you can make xp pretty easy some professions are easier than others. With TKA you can make xp very fast. Although i dont see why it should be so high the system is gated with 3 week cycles anyway not only that ive heard the padawan trials are hard, well ive at least heard plenty of people talking in towns about how hard it is,etc. So people who think that when they get there 2nd slot they might as well just go off for jedi might try it then kind of change there mind.

The way conversion rates are atm, anyone who wants jedi and want itwithin a yearare pretty much forced to do reflex and combat FS skills as they are the easiest ones to master. I take it no one tested sense xp conversion, i can see that no one probably would have wanted to bother with the char builders they just got combat profs and then went out killing maybe if a few did doc or somin then unlocked some sense skills they would have found how messed up it is.

For that complaint about picking FS skills. You only get to pick free skills you unlocked, If you read what the NPCs have to say instead of rushing into the quest you will see that they say which FS skill you will unlock after completing his/her quest before you confirm.

I got a Broken WP too. Got visited yesterdayadroun 8AM (3days 22 hours glowing) and got jumped today around 9 am on Corellia. Went to the WP and it was a flat area, a lair 80 meters away. If I take a shuttle to a new city on Corellia, the WP reappears in the exact same spot. Any idea if it is a bug or are we just screwed?
