Thread: Loss of Glowy

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 expect to get a visit (to go to the village) if you are not glowing but previously were (if you have not recieved a visit by now you probably were not glowly before the change) (also since it is more then 5 days since the patch the 3 day window is closing (but remember you do need to be out in the wild away from pc cities for it to happen))

    • you also get to be beaten by the sith after the old man
    • one report that a person who turned glowly just before the patch did not yet recieve a visit *this is one to keep watch on.

  • If you were not glowly previous to the patch it is unlikely that you will get a visit until you are glowly(keep collecting those badges and playing the game (HAVE FUN)- itmost probably isa bug but it could be a new prerequiste)
  • people have reached glowly status after pub 24
  • You can do the exit quest when not glowing (old man will visit) 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
  • old man does show up if you finish your 6th column
  • 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. (this means that those who fulfilled prerequistes post 24 will not be visited until you see a fix posted by the devs)
  • It is not the date the account was created (so no it is not those with older accounts vs younger accounts)

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)?
  • why one person who was glowly previous to the patch has not yet been visited

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 (???)
  • bug with the system(this has been confirmed by the devs)

Patience is a virtue - possess it if you can

so basically what I said is...


if you were not glowly prepub24 you will not be visited by the old man until the bug is fixed.

otoh if you were - you are not affected at all other then the check command.

Don't worry about it.

I loss Glowly status, but I am still allowed in the village.

I believe if you still have the crystal the old man gave you, you can still go in the village.

for all of those that bought this game just for the single reason to become a jedi why didnt you buy KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC or one of the many other games that you dont have to pay to play? For those that are so fed up that you are thinking of cancleing your accounts becuase there is a bug and fed up,what about all of those people that have played this game and loved it WITH bugs pistoler remind you did not work at all till the CU. I have played this game for almost 2 years with two accounts,ive grinded,ive left the game,i've come back....just like many of you.


Yes i have one toon that is force sensitive and an alt that is not...i was wanting to get him sensitive for the crafting bonuses.Im not a heavy grinder for the quest of a lightsaber but yet im what you would call addicted i log on every night permiting and i still havent done every thing there is to do in this game on eather account.


I've rambled on long enough and probaly havent made the point i was after while reading this thread so im going to end it with one thought...


Have this be a bug or entended,it dont matter every one is right in there own way its not fair to the people that bought the game for the sole reason to be jedi (personal opinon aside) and its not fair to those that didnt. What i belave is with the new expantion new badge requirements are needed to become glowy.Have you looked at the badge list lately? theres alot more added since ToOW..............i could say alot more but i think that would be puting my personal opinon's up front and i think ive done that enough


flame on


p.s. i was master comando once so i dont mind a little burn wound

Was blue glowey until the publish. Now am not. Have completed FS up to the point wherein you loot the location of the village. Have yet to go, been to busy playing the game for content and grinding up an alt character. Will have to check it out and see if I can make it to the village or not.

Umm, there seems to be several misconceptions about the whole Glowing thing here. lol

Are You stupid? Don't You see a "little" difference between that games? Just a whila for thinking... KOTOT isn't a MMORPG!
I hate gays flaming "if you want be a jedi buy kotor or jedi academy" - they are so stupid - like a bantha...

>> They are making a valid comment on some peoples gaming attitudes tbh, that if you see Jedi as the end goal then go and play a Jedi game, where as SWG is a muti player game and for some its about Jedi (look at me, look at me, see who I can pound and lord it over) others its about role playing the Jedi, meanwhile we have a large amount of players who enjoy the interaction with others and PvP, PvE and generally have great time playing alongside friends. I play alongside a great guild, we have fun. We adapt to the changes. That is why I enjoy the game so much.

There is no other MMORPG in SW galaxy. I'm typicaly roleplayer. Jedi in SW and Wizards in fantasy worlds is just something what can realize me from real life - where i'm a mage of 21th century time - i'm a developer (no not in SOE =P). I always played characters of mind - not shooters or knights... I just can roleplay as that kind of character. So - i'm waiting for fix that bug extremally.

>> Oh and the Bantha (if they did exist) live in desert, with no help, let me drop you in the middle of the desert and see how 'stupid' you are.

No - banthas doesn't exist n RL. But banthas are like cows from RL - so they're stupid like... flamers spoking whole time "buy a jedi academy" =]

There is no other MMORPG in SW galaxy. May be there should be. I'm typicaly roleplayer. Jedi in SW and Wizards in fantasy worlds is just something what can realize me from real life - where i'm a mage of 21th century time - i'm a developer (no not in SOE =P). I always played characters of mind - not shooters or knights... I just can roleplay as that kind of character. Look at the adaptability part of my last post, we must adapt if you just do one thing then you will be superceded. So - i'm waiting for fix that bug extremally.

Cows= domesticated animals, from wild stock and tamed, these 'stupid animals' roamed free while mankind was just starting to walk upright, with no need for shelter, fire, wars or any other technology to live and exist. Measure them against your own intelligence and you will be found wanting in the wild, they will outlive you.

It is annoying, but given their past track of bug fixes, give them about a month or two.


It's the same level of service we've received from them since I started playing in early 2004.
