Have some patience. The system is slammed, there are probably hundreds of glowy people and people who qualify. As the last poster said it will take a few days for the system to catch up. How many instances of the old man do you think there can be? There can't be 486 old men at the same time.


If you are glowy and don't get visited by Saturday, then complain.

well why not, there are hundreds of MOBS of the same type already runnning around. I have seen dozens of MOBS for quest spawn in the same area waiting for someone. IF it is a problem with "resources" (server, network, whatever) the devs should just come out and say so.



But having to guess or try to figure out what they meant in some old postis just lame.

Qualify for a visit = 'Glowy' Status


My bet is this means post 9 unlockers. Im glowing and havent seen the old man. Gotta love SOE, even when they finally "communicate" with us, they leave the door wide open for interrperation.





Given that TH is a notriously poor writer, and has managed to be perfectly muddy in nearly every one of his communications, except for the snarky attacks on certain professions, where he has made his intentions all too clear, I'm not surprised that everyone is confused about this.


Keep in mind that the developers lied outright about having the code in place from day one for Jedi, and we have proof of this; the first person unlocked in a way that was unique compared to everyone who followed. They just decided one day to turn the code on, and, voila, instant FS slot.

Did a couple of quests on test center 2. The missions are imposisble when its crowded. you have to search for your target, no beam of light sticking right out of it and when it's crowded everyone ends up killing everyone elses mission because there's no way arround it and no way to tell who's is who's. Sounds like they are just trying to stem the rush of people to the area which when it's your turn you'll be alot happier about.

Ya I believe ya there, but I don't see why they couldn't have made it instanced like the corvette. Then.... theres no waits, no stealing of missions, etc.
