Hi,

Yesterday I completed fourth and fifth content badges (no vette badge). I have 5 profession badges. I had three Jedi POIs and(I thought) enough other POIs (novice explorer with 10). This morning, before and after server reset, I "barely" felt the force.

Then I finally found the Deeja Peak Falls badge point, and got the badge. I went immediatley to "glowing."

Hope i get it like you when i log in a lil later today good luck with the old man dude.

I have an artisan type toon and I believe close to glowing. I basically have all POIs, Librarian Trivia, 5 Professions, and Imperial Theme Park. Now its gonna be hard to get much more than Nyms (Easy Content Badge) since I have absolutely no combat skills on this toon. So I will need to get an escort to kill while I run the missions. My BH Character may actually be closer based on your guide's requirements, even though he is only faint now. But we'll see. I think I am close. I actually only want Jedi on this toon to protect myself from getting mauled when I go empty hoppers/crates lmao.

I don't believe that Cries of Alderaan is considered a content badge, but I'm not positive. You may need to get the other Warren badge or get a Corvette badge. Other than that it looks like you have everything.

- Vacca's Quest

- something like 15 POI

- 10 Prof Masteriazed (including 4 Holo)

What should i do?

At a quick glance you are missing Ben's Hut Badge from Tat. Depending on what your other POIs are you may need difficult ones.

Here is theconfirmed method for getting glowy.

Note: There may be alternate forms of "credit" for Content badges. See the undetermined section.

Note: Any /check status other than Glowing may be unreliable. If you are reporting a lower status than you should be(faint, strong, etc), do not be concerned, you will still glow once you finish up everything.

Note: Once you are glowing you will be visited eventually by the old man. The devs are trickling out old man visits to avoid crashing Dathomir. If you are glowing and not yet visited, you are not bugged. You will be visited. You may have to wait a few days.

Nice post, lots of work and speculation going into this issue. Thought I'd offer my experience as more grist for the mill. I'll let you analytical types analyze it. I'm just thrilled to be glowing. "The future's so bright, I got to wear shades." (And grind, and grind, and...)

Started Pub 10 with a faint sense of the force. I had:

6 proffs (presumably 4 holos, went silent on #3);

2 Jedi POI (needed Exar Kun temple):

Rebel and Nym's Themeparks;

All the difficult POIs except for the Krayt Graveyard;

Around 30 or so easy POIs;

Cries of Alderaan #3;

Accolade for Fascinating Backround (as a writer wannabe I'm rather proud of that one, tho it's probably worthless from what I read).

After systematicly exploring the universe to finish getting every POI on the badges-earned list- no change.

After raising Jabba faction (-5000 from Cries of Alderaan) by assassinating innumerable Valarians (made me feel atad guilty, the good guys in my favorite face-to facerpg Dragonstorm are called Valarians, lol) and then getting the Jabba theme park badge- no change.

After getting the Badge of Compassion in the Warren-no change.

After getting the Imperial hero badge (ironic, as the toon is a Rebel master sergeant with -5000 imp faction at the time)-"You feel an inner glow. The force is with you." (Or whatever, probably misquoted.)

No Corvette at all. (Thank Gawd. I have a bad case of Post-Corvette Stress Disorder. Don't like the flashbacks, lol.)

So I do wonder if the /check is bugged, or on some sort of threshold system. Kinda odd that with the path I outlined above my status didn't budge until I got the Imperial Hero badge(Lol, how will I explain this to my Rebel Lieutenant?) , then jumped straight to glow.

By the way, I'm playing on Scylla server, if the servers have anything to do with anything (and they had better not!).

Playing since 10/03
