I lost glowy status too...
I was going to be unlocking next phase, too =(

I haven't tried going to the village yet since I've lost glowy status, however, I still have the "Force Progress" branch in my list of novice skills, so, perhaps the message is simply bugged? *shrugs*

I have over 75 badges, so I have no clue why my glowy status just vanished like that.

Still no visit from the old man, over 3 days now.


I have all the badges, and yes I did the newbie badges from Mos Eisley - HOWEVER I'm a crafter. I can't do a gorax, or a Corvette. And I'm not dropping crafting and re-grinding. Scr3w that...


Meanwhile, Phase 3 is TICKING AWAY - and I don't want to wait TWELVE WEEKS to get the experimentation FS line. This is total B.S.

were you ever glowly or did you just get to that stage?

If so I suspectthat the prerequistes have been "enhanced"

I have seen threads about people losing Glowy status. Anyone had that problems? If so what badges do you have to get Glowy so we can figure out which ones are not counting anymore?





Had glowy on my alt until the jabba palace incident. I have all 3 Imp corvette, 2 rebel corvette , imp themepark, gorax, ancient krayt , necrosis and all POI.


I got into the village while i was glowy before this incident though, its not affecting anything beyond that point. But guildmates cant make glowy anymore.

If the prereqs changed it must be something big and non-badge related. The little badge that says I have over 75 badges assures me I can meet any badge requirements. Though I did enjoy the content and racetrack badges, I do not wish to be forced into doing more vettes, the other warren badge, or one of the 'has killed the...' badges just to continue after I have had village access and 3 unlocks already. If its a bug, its a bug and I'd be happy to help test anything to fix it. If its a new requirement change for village/jedi, devs please tell us. Don't have to say what the new requirements are, just that its what was intended with Pub 24 and not a bug. That...or I can keep advising guild and server members to submit bugtickets. Communicate, improve, progress..yes? Not wildfire rumors that only cause flames and problems. Your thoughts, Tiggs old friend?

a little know fact:


in the original method to unlock you at first needed 3 different professions mastered, by the end you needed 8+ mastered. They never told anyone, it just got longer and longer to unlock is all.



But I am still of the opinion it is a bug and is likely to be fixed - this has happened before (but only on tc as far as I know)

Copy Pasted and Updated


What we know so far:



  • People have lost Glowy even if they did not have Jabba or Corvette badges (you can get without)

    • this means that the removal of Jabba's palace is not directly related
    • this means the loss of the ability to get to the corvette was not directly related either

  • People have lost Glowly even if they did not have the beginner quest badges


    • this means the loss of weight to these badges is not directly related

  • You can still get a visit (to go to the village) if you are not glowing but previously were

    • you also get to be beaten by the sith after the old man

  • You can do the exit quest when not glowing and get Jedi
  • You can still convert xp at the village if you could before
  • you can still train if you could before
  • not a single Jedilost glowly status
  • it happened when pub 24 when live
  • people have reached glowly status after pub 24
  • old man does show up if you finish your 6th column
  • Yes we do know it is on live <--- figured I would make this explicit as every one seems to be missing it

  • people who were not glowly but did all the badges thatpreviously were required still do not glow and have not been visited by the old man for over 72 hours.

what is not known:



  • can you get the exit quest old man visit from the village
  • what caused the loss?
  • Why some people fell further then others with the same badges (Am at faint but have90% of thebadges in the game)?

Speculations that have been raised:



  • jabba's palace badge issue (provisionally disproved)
  • corvettebadgeissue (provisionally disproved)
  • beginner quest badges (provisionally disproved)
  • exit quest change has been suggested (provisionally disproved)
  • change ofprerequistes (???)


Tiggs is monitering this thread and passing all feedback we give on to those who hopefully can fix it.

One thought that popped into my mind.


Since several are implying that any change to the pre-reqs cannot be limited to badges as they have many badges (one person quoted 75) and are still showing strong sense. Something occurs as a possibility.


Could it not be a change in the pre-reqs per se, but an addition of a time-based gate?


My alt is now showing strong sense but she was created just after the CU went live. What if those out there who are showing surging have all the same pre-reqs and simply have been playing in-game longer? Many found the ability of a raw noobie able to get glowy in under a day from their origin in game especially egregious. Perhaps the devs have dealt with that issue in a stealth nerf in a waythat doesn't materially affect existing FS characters but would still affect the results of the /checkforcestatus command.

I doubt it.


I have 626 days logged, mastered 13 professions, collected all the badges required (as stated by the various glowy guides) and im still "Surging". No visit from the old man in 72 hours.
