I walked between 2 player cities talking about this in guild chat trying to get him to show up, then a guild mate said "dont bother he wont come today" and the old man apeared straight after that.


So get a mate to say something along those lines lol.


I dont think shuttling works, its anything up to 3 days i believe, but its totally random from what I have heard about the visits

my first visit was about 2 days, my 2nd one was under a day, so based on that I would say yes, make a ticket for it

Hmm I must be doing something wrong

It has been 5 days for me now and I am just doing missions out of player cities, playing actively.

The only thing I can think of it that I tend not to log out, just go afk (to save all my chats resetting all the time). A friend told me to logout for 10 mins and log back in so I am trying that atm.

The other thing is that I still have a newbie quest uncompleted in my journal -- is that causing the issue?





The problem may be that he has already come... and gone.


He still comes even if you are AFK but he does not wait around for too long... So I suggest you do log out in until yousee him!

Search function not working (great) checked all the stickes so far, and well I still have some questions, specially for those who were visited by the old man "early".

For me, after getting the badges and glowie status, it was approximately 2 days to get visited, but I didnt try to shuttle around, or walk to the center of the map, etc.


Currenlty, thanks to the double XP thing, I finished the village, filled my 6 branches and Im damn proud of it. But as you may know, this 2 day wait will become a living hell to me, since I really want to start with all the trails and stuff.

So my question, how does the "Shuttle around, walk to the 0,0 coordinates, etc" method works? I tried it for the first day, logging in and out the game too, but after like 3 hours, I just gave up.


If anyone can share their experience, it will be really appreciated.





My exact situation man.

mine was logged in on day 2 in my house ran half way to the shuttleport..


stopped to reply to a tell asking what i was doing and replied with waiting for the dirty old man to show up still............


2 seconds later he apeared lol. I think smack talking the old man in the message system flips the switch.

I found out some information on how the visit from the old man and the subsequent attack by the Sith work.


Once you become "glowie" a random number generator creates a timer for your character.AFTER this timer expires, the first time you shuttle into a Player city, the old man will visit you with in 20 minutes. Shuttling around multiple times will NOT lower the timer, just waste credits.


After the old man visits you, another "random" timer is generated for the Sith to attack you. Same rules apply, AFTER this timer expires, the first time you shuttle into a Player city, the Sith will attack you with in 20 minutes. Shuttling around multiple times will NOT lower the timer, just waste credits.


Also, you see mention of heading to 0,0 way points on a planet to decrease wait time...... I can say I found it well worth my time.


Hope this information helps you out!


Here's to looking forward to the first time a Respec BH attacks me!!! Just killed the Sith last night!

I have shared this with friends and guild mates and it works great. Log out for 2 daysinside a player city (use this time to spend with family, friends, yadda yadda) because first and foremost it is like watching water boil. On the morning of the 3rd day, log in and within 15min, the old man will visit. This has been tested and proven.
