Thread: Publish 9 Patch Notes
Dude Count calm down.
The old system for FS slot creation does not probably link directly with the new code. So you turn it off. Then when you insititute the new code you have to port over data anyway so you do the progress data (which will still be collected inbetween 9 and 10) and apply it to the new code.
So people cannot unlock during those six or so weeks....who cares? If you happen to get your silent profession then when the new system comes live you will be really damn close 95-100 percent done with the new system and unlock then.
Really I can understand to a point where you are coming from but you are really overreacting.
Makes me want to quit too actually....Ive been playing scince the beginning and I started grinding before Christmas.
I have seen countless "Unlocked" posts from people that havnt even played as long or done half the professions I have (24) Plus Im a wookiee LOL
My main complaint the whole time has been that statement "JEDI WILL NOT BE BASED ON LUCK"
Is it not lucky that Joe Smoe opens on 8 professions, and about 1,000 others are 25+ . It IS a freaking lottery period.
I can also see the other side too, not everyone can be jedi...Just the people that ground out sooner before they secretly nerfed opening FSCS a while back.
I remember driving around tattoine looking for those stupid badges before...Intellect Altruism etc... Its not like a badge is going to mak
Wow, this is another of the great ideas of the Devs. People who have been working of unlocking the FS before the publish 10 will have lost 2 or 3 months of grinding.
This game is really starting to suck. A lot of time wasted for anything

Jedi will find their lightsabers deconstructed and they will have to be reassembled using the new system. New lightsabers are a weapon that is also a slotted container based on a player's level. The only items a Jedi may place in the lightsaber is 1 Color Crystal and 1-4 (based on lightsaber type) “tuned” Force Crystals or “tuned” Krayt Pearls. The stats of the basic lightsaber will remain at its crafted values, however stats will go up and down based on the values of the crystals placed within. The lightsaber’s blade color will be determined by the “Color Crystal”. Lightsaber's without a color crystal cannot be used. Based on its generation, lightsaber's will gain slight stat bonuses along with more container slots to put crystals in. There are 4 styles available to each lightsaber line now.This SOUNDS like a MASSIVE NERF. Right now each generation adds 190 to max damage currently. If pearl damage is getting nerfed, and NO damage is added to each generation, WE ARE TRULY SCREWED. How do we get Colour crystals? Will my exisiting sabers, that i must break, have a colour crystal already? If we have 4 pearls in a saber, do ALL 4 decay at one time??? WHAT IS THE RATE OF DECAY??? You guys cant be this stupid. BOTTOM LINE, will pearls last us longer or less than they do now. And remember, now we can repair a lightsaber, several times...DOES your decay rate of pearls take inot account their current lifespan?
Slow down, read, understand. It's the same as now, each generation's base stats will more powerfull than the next.
and btw, what gaurdian nerf? AH yeah, the fact that they'll have a different title, other than that, there is nothing changing. Don't think of it as "OMG! I was the highest level now they've knocked me down to only half way through!" This "wow, cool, they've added more stuff for me to progress through to make me more powerfull, yay for more content!"

If the player attempts to heal an illegal target with /healDamage, the command will default to the player even if the target is not a combat target.
Equalivious wrote:Well, if generations still apply in lightsabers after the revamp then the pearls and crystals taking damage is a good thing if, at say 5th gen, the previous pearls and crystals are not tampered with, but only the crystal/pearl that was used to make that generation. This would allow you to stay at 5th gen and not have to waste 4 more crystals/pearls to go back up to it.
I think we are seeing the results of not brushing..
You don't use "crystals" or "pearls" to make 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gen sabers. At least, the implication is that you make the next gen (probably with the previous) and it has "more slots for crystals". Once you make a 5th gen saber, you will never have to make another saber, just put in new crystals/pearls. From what the patch notes said, it almost seems like you won't -need- crystals/pearls at all, each new gen has better stats by the nature of it's being the next level. Pearls/crystals are just damage/speed/wound/FC perks.
Basically, from what I got from the info is. You make a training saber (1st gen). It has no slots for crystals (or maybe just the color crystal since they said sabers won't work at all without a color crystal). You put that -empty- 1st gen into a crafter with resources and make a 2nd gen, that has a slot for color and 1 crystal/pearl. Take the -empty- 2nd gen and make a 3rd, holds 1 color and 2 damage crystals (but doesn't need them).. Or so, that's what I get from the notes..
Erm, I've been saying for over a week that I had the feeling unlocking was turned off at 9 and there would be no new Jedi till 10. There was veiled implication..
I think crystals being dropped from high level nightsisters being just as good or better than pearls is a good sign. Personally, I have no problem killing krayts, just finding them.
Sounds like a good patch so far 
And you kill krayts with your Jedi right? Because I know for a fact, we shouldnt have to be all FOTM Rifleman to get a damn pearl or do we?
I think its dumb if they dont take pearls and crystals out of the economy, its totally ruining it. Currently Jedi have no choice, either become rich by making your main character a Crafter or A Krayts Killer that you can leave afk camping NPC's over days to get a crystal. Both of those are just wrong and should not be needed to get those items to make a lightsaber.

- We dont know how fast pearl/crystals will decay, they might decay very fast or they might last us a year, who knows
- They said jedi will get better robes as they advance, so you dont have to worry about a master having the same defenses as a knight.
- We ARE getting a new lightsaber type, and the fact that some jedi will have to be PERMANENTLY overt kind of gives you the idea that they will need to be VERY powerful in the meantime, doesnt it? I hardy think the devs would consider making jedi perma overt unless they could handle it!
- The people hologrinding now have 2-3 weeks to finish up. Even if you dont unlock it has been said that EVERY profession you complete WILL COUNT towards the new system!
This will be the best Publish yet, just you see.
