I didn't say that there ispattern. There is in fact "no pattern". But - with enough information collaborated from players, we can view similar characters that might have mastered similar professions that other players could attempt to master and unlock. There is a baseline to the randomness. The randomness has to be based of a set of variables.

Complete randomness could result in the following examples:

To unlock, master the following:

Artisan
Brawler
Entertainer
Marksman
Medic

OK - way too easy

Another:

Architect
Armorsmtih
Chef
Droid Engineer
Weaponsmith

As you can see, complete randomness would cause many odd Holo-Profession sets.

RANDOM means NO pattern.

Simple as that - stop wasting your time on the forums and just enjoy the game - focus on the journey, not the destination, and you will have a lot more fun!

There is nothing fun about grinding. If you play the game it was meant to be played you will never, never finish all 5 professions.

I'm glad u agree :-)

I could see myself mastering 5 professions eventually. I'ld hit 4 with my current plan if I keep playing long enough. Just ... not too likely the 5 I picked would be the 5 the randomizer picked.

But I don't think I'll see the 4 before I'm done. Bonus decay does too much to discourage PvP, and the Jedi 'solution' doesn't impress me in the least

Luke,

I'm pretty sure we've seen exactly those two already as openers. If not, they were only slightly off. Basically, one person with 5 starters, and another with 5 crafting elites.

Of course, on the flipside, they both fit a random pattern .

this is totally not true especially for a power gamer who masters a profession within a week.

even if he is not doing for holocron, they'll likely only play that profession for a week before deciding they want to do something else....and they may keep that profession and go for another, or something.

It is totally and completely possible to complete all 32 professions in under a year, at least for a power gamer.

the only professions that cause problems seem to be politician and BH...and i think investigation is even easier now....

as for a casual gamer...he will likely never complete his 5 professions, unless he uses holos and/or is really lucky.

OK im a power gamer didnt get intrested in making jedi till dec 26. since then ive mastered from scratch teras, brawler, medic, combat medic, commando, and smuggler. Before that i Had pistoleer, SL, marksmen and rifleman. Teras was final holo so ive made 5 non holo prof since then.So thus i must conclude a power game with lots of money like me can do 2. profs a week im on doc now. then im gonna do bio engineer so i never ever ever ever have to craft damed meds again. ( thats the hard part takes 5 hrs with macro.you can master all othercombat medic skills in one night if you pay 5 tumblers and use area heal for 4hrs)

The problem with the holo grind is that it is decreasing the quality and knowledge of the masters. Mainly the crafters. You learn quite a bit about a prof long after you have mastered it. I have been master artisan for about a month, and I think I know less than 60% of what I will in 1 month about that prof.

The DEVS did a great job on the game... but all it is you get 5 Holocrons... you learn 4 Prof. and guess the last.... Casual gamer's game... hehe... real funny. Get over it guys, you have to use 5 cheap holocrons.... so many great ideas but Powergaming had to be it (Oh Joy!) Have fun trying to figure out a impossible variable!

I TOLD U! i have been saying this for over a month and no1 has bealived us... also..

i would like the jedi forums to be recreated so actual jedi can comunicate on it instead of wannabe jedi posting aboiut their silent

Forgive me if I'm incorrect, but I'm pretty sure when theyupdated us on theJedi on the servers, they mentioned something along the lines of "even now, people have begun to figure out the steps to unlocking the FSCS." - to me...well, that just doesn't sound all that "random" to me.
