But if I dont convert xp right away, then I'll lose the 900k unarmed xp I have. Also I assume this isnt in test center yet ? I never saw any option to train anything from Paemos either before, during, or after xp conversions and quest.

how are you going to loose the 900K of unarmed xp? You can drop all of TKA and not loose it. You will convert that xp after you have done your free unlocks IF you have any.


EDIT: this is ONLY on TC and TC2. if you do not get an option to unlock a tree for free then you dont have any free unlocks. How many Holocrons did you do? have you done any of thetree unlockquests?

Again.... that doesn't say anything about the question the OP asked. JustG ONLY references those that have unlocked between P9 and P10. Then states later they will be "fair" to those who have holgrinded but NOT unlocked. Which expalins NOTHING.


I mastered my FOUR holo professions and then when on to Master an ADDITIONAL 19 professions. 23 in all. I haven't seen a post from a DEV explaining if I will be getting credit for any of that. (I think I read that all that work might bypass some 3-week wait, but with the xp requirements, there would be a significant wait regardless, so that "reward" is almost insignificant.

My posts have been in regards to those who have NOT unlocked. My posts are from what I have done on TC2 before the wipe and what others have shown on TC2 and TC. Again, NOT post 9 unlocks.

A few things. First, the only official word delivered to us by the development team is that post-9 unlockers will receive 6 unlocked trees and the experience to fill them. Meaning, of course, that post-9 unlockers will not have to exchange any experience (combat, weapon, crafting, etc.) for FS experience. The experience required is part of the system for post-9 unlockers.

Second, there has been no word on those who ground professions but did not unlock. In fact, the only mention is that the system created will be "fair." This could be unlocked trees, experience, or some combination of the two. The point is, we don't know. If you were being granted experience *and* that system had been implemented on TC2, it is unlikely you would have to exchange any of your existing experience for FS experience, at least until you had exhausted what was granted by default for your ground professions.

The safest thing to do to avoid being frustrated with a system that probably isn't even in place yet is to watch the test center threads for update notes referencing the changes you're looking for.

All I know is the system was working when I was on test center 2 today (eclipse copy) cause others were getting free unlocks. Apparently, once they clicked on train another window popped up with the options to choose from. I got Nothing for my inquiry. Unless somehow I was the only person in the game that was bugged, Im guessing my toon is bugged or Im screwed. Either way, dam right Im worried.

It all sounds pretty cool and complicated to me, something to think about and work at anyway.


My question regards the visit from the Old Man. Presumably, Joe Q. Newbie who started today would have to fulfill the assumed quota of badges and other deeds to qualify for the visit.


But we know that the so-called "hologrinders" receive instant credit for the professions they mastered. In my case, I mastered 4 professions that I wanted to play (Marksman, Scout, Bounty Hunter, and Pistoleer), and one holo prof, Swordsman, just for the hell of it. Since I would be entitled to at least a slice of credit for the one holo prof (and more if any of my other profs would have been holo professions), would this qualify me or other hologrinders an instant visit from the Old Man, or has that not been determined substantially yet?I have in the neighborhood of 70 badges, including all themeparks except Imperial, all the POIs, the aforementioned profession badges (except Pistoleer, which I mastered before the Badges were added), one of the Rebel Corvette Badges, and the Act 3 badge (did the other two but don't seem to have badges for them).


So basically, I'm just curious how that's going to work. I'm less interested in having a Jedi character than I am in having new content to work on, and a second slot to mess around with. The testing I did on TC2 seemed like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to hanging out in the Village. Any idea then if those with holo professions completed will automatically qualify for a visit from the Old Man, or only for free FS skills once the visit occurs?

And I'm saying the post you referenced says NOTHING about those who have NOT unlocked. It ONLY referenced those who HAVE UNLOCKED between 9 and 10. I have NOT unlocked. I have mastered 23 professions (including the 4 holos). There is NOTHING in the JUSTG post that explains what credit (if any) is given for us who have NOT unlocked but have mindlessly hologrinded for months..... that is my complaint.


But maybe I'm just stupid and not getting it. Explain to me exactly what credit I will be getting for doing FOUR holos and 19 attemptes at the silent professionand still NOTUNLOCKING.








I'm sorry. I have not referenced any posts. I said "the posts that I have made". Also if you re-read my post that is quoted above you will see I am saying that this is what "I have done on TC2" and not in reference to what others have said. This is what I experienced myself, first hand, of my own, (is there another way I can say I did it, lol). Again, I am not a post 9 unlocker. I only take DEV posts as guide, a thought if you will, as to what THEY THINK the change will do. Then I go test it and see for myself what happens.


I (a non-unlocked pre, post or otherwise) went to TC2 and was able to get free unlocks AND all the xp required to fill that tree.


You are correct that no DEV has said what the reward will be for non-unlock Holo credit, but I believe (from my test experience) that it will be as I have posted.



Whew!

You're admitting to being mindless, and mad about not knowing how you'll be compensated for it?
