TH I have a question for you, what about the people that already unlocked do they automatically qualitfy or should they be waiting like the other groups.




You automatically qualify. Hang out in the wilderness and you will be visited in a short period of time. The old man will visit you in the wilderness and send you on a quest.

Don't forget that we STILL have to do all of the damn quests anyways if we want the new items, even if we unlock them with our "credit."




You still have to do the quests, but there were no rewards or quests before. Now, the path is wrapped in content instead of starting as a brand new Padawan character who was very vulnerable and very hunted.

This system is partially bugged with the Profession Badges you added later into the game.


Example: I mastered my first holo (Dancer) before profession badges. I log in today and see that I am not glowing but only surge with the force. I have done all but my silent profession which would have granted me 5 branches and a trip from the old man. But since I didn't get the first holo badge I'm not granted 4 out of 5 holos, only 3.





I can assure you that this is not so.


The way your holo-professions were accounted for is seperate from the badges being displayed through the interface.

Well, I didn't hologrind at all - in fact, I've never owned a holocron, except for a Sith Holo that I keep as a decoration. I've done 5 professions in the year I've been playing - Tailor, Merchant, Marksman, Teras Kasi, and Artisan, and there's no way that I hit all 5 holo-professions by blind luck. But, I've done all the POIs and have enough other badges to be "one with the force", so I qualify under the new system.


Well, which is it?





It will depend on how many of those 5 professions were holo-professions. This announcement is primarily for people who were trying to finish 32 professions to unlock. Because there was such a strong correlation between how many TOTAL professions were completed and how many holo-professions were unlocked, its a fair guess that if you finished better than 30 professions, you are in the "automatic" crowd.


If you entering into the path based on the new system, then it will depend on if you have met all the requirements.


To be clear:
Lets say Player A has completed 32 professions before publish 10.
Player B has met all the requirements of the new path before publish 10.


Both player A and Player B are eligible for visits by the old man.

The more I thought about this the more it ate at me. Why does it take 1 to 3 days? I assume there is a logical explanation why everybody who is qualified must now wait a few more days until the content is unlocked but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Care to shed some light on it?

does anyone even know if the "old man" has been activated?.....what i mean is that hopefully the post 9 unlockers would have 1st go at the village...however i havent heard of anyone getting the visit....surely if this wasnt the case someone would have posted it by now





I am a Post-9 unlocker. I have been wandering the wilderness for 9 hours now...NO OLD MAN!

Without revealing the secret of the new system, can you shed some light on the /check messages and what they mean?


Those of us that were not into grinding out professionsmight beinterested to know how we rank under the new system. I understand that the professions I completed will determine the quests I can skip (if I choose to do so), but if I'm "one with the force" can I expect a visit?

Mike Heath -


1. Please change your font

2. Check the Test Center Galaxy board. There are several greatguides based on actual testing on how to get "glowy".

3. Check swgstratics, they also have a great guide

4. For God's sake change your ****ing font

I have 50 badges including:


nyms themepark

jabbas themepark

rebel rescue vette mission

all 3 of the "important" jedi POIs

10 profession badges (2 holo grinded and 8 other random ones)

mark of courage



when i do /check i get this message:


"You barely sense something different about yourself"



I'm not saying i should be an automatic jedi, but how come i've done more than lots of people I know and they are "surging" or "glowing" even???

Sooooo, is this refering toHolo-Profs only?


I was trying to find my silent under the old system, but never found it. So would that put me into the "5 Force Sensitive branches will be granted/Automatically qualify" group?


If thats the case, then people mastered 32 profs for almost nothing.




I just hit a bunch of buttons and hope everything works out.

If you logged in today and did the /che, got the Inner Glow message, wait 1-3 days...

Just curious, did anyone consider that you still have to do something else, ie.. visit all the shrines?? (just a suggestion) I thought i would give it a shot and it is going to take me a day to go to all of them.

Another side note: (of course i am probably way off here) I noticed when i approach the shrines there is electric arcs coming off the broken pedistal. When i get up on it, the arc stops. I know it didn't do this pre-patch. <shrug> just throwing stuff out there
