Not sure why I'm not glowing....
1 Profession badge (I have 4)
5 Content badges (I have 2 Warren, Reb Themepark, Jabba Themepark, 1 Corvette)
3Jedi POIs (I have Ben Kenobi's House, Jedi Ruins, Exar Kun Temple)
5Easy POIs (I have 10)
2 Difficult POIs (I have 4)
I "Barely sense something different" about myself.
Help?

Try Nym's Themepark. It's the easiest of all themeparks, I did it in 15 minutes.
If that doesn't help, post every single badge or post a screen shot of your badge list, so we can see what is missing.

okay here is what I got till now:
45 POI badges
5 exploration badges
6 mastered prof of which 3 are holoprofs
2 warren badges
2 event badges
4 collector badges
rebel themepark badge
jabba palace badge
librarian
and still I only got "You feel a faint sense of the force"
I got a feeling the corvette badge will boost me to glow, any other thoughts

For those few who have every single badge possible and are not glowing, two questions:
- Have you tried logging in today to see if the status has changed, as there was at least one glowy bug floating around.
- Did you play on TC2 any at all?
Just trying to track down if it is a bug with glowing that is the issue here since there are only a select few in that situation.
Also, I had one person PM me about this:
Be sure to manually check to make sure you have all the required POI badges. Don't just glance at the Explore: 45 badges badge.
There are hidden POI badges *and* Themeparks count towards Explore badges. So you can have the Explorer 45 badge but not actually have all the POIs. One person already made that mistake and was actually missing a Jedi POI 
This may not be the case for you, but it is worth double checking.

Ok, now i'm confused and a little peved. it turns out that i didn't have the Jedi Temple POI badge... however, that was one of the first badges i ever got. i can clearly remember getting that badge. the same thing happened once with the krayt skeleton POI badge, i went out, got the message that said i got the badge, checked and actually had the badge, and the next time i logged in, i didnt have the badge.
so it's all good now, i'm glowy

Just wanted to give an update
I had:
all location and everything that comes with that
2 master profs
2 warren
hero
and then just finished reb theme park earlier today
To begin with i was surging when i /checked, without reb theme. I did that today and am still
surging. I plan to start on the nym theme park tomorrow if that gets me glowing then that,
i assume, proves this guides formula. GL to the rest of you.

Ok when i first logged in after publish 10 i had the surge of force.
Heres what i had:
6 profs (1 has no badge)
17 location badges
Event: Project dead eye
Event: Project Vacca's allegiance
Badge collector 25
Novice Explorer 10
Jabba's Theme park
Since then i completed the Rebel theme park and i still remained surge of force. Perhaps only one theme park counts as doing another one made no difference whatever. Its getting late now and i'll do the Imp theme park tomorrow to see if theres any difference. Never been to the corvette or the warren. Personally i don't like this method at all. It seems yet again that it caters primarily for combat professions. I spend most of my time in the cantina doing my job.

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.

There is not yet enough information to garantee any of these.
-Large numbers ofprofession badges
- Holo professions

-----------------------------------------------------
This is absolutely not working for me and i have all the requirements:
- I have 3 master professions badges(master Ch, master marksman and master pistoleer)
- All the theme parks badges; Nym, Jabba, Imperial, Rebel & The Warren (2 badges)
- All the location POIs
- The librarian badge
- Act 1 badge & act 2 badge (from rebel & imperial)
In total i have 65 badges, so, what i'm missing? I'm still 'surge' since publish 10 come out.
Please, i need a serious answer to my problem from a DEV.

I tried doing Jabba's themepark, but I got -2240 Jabba faction points. 
Anyone know a good spawn area of Valarian's? I want Jedi so bad...

I had the same problem except that I also had the Hero of Tatooine badges, yet I was stuck at "surge". The only content badge I was missing was the Corvette. I hired an experience "runner" and got the neutral destroy badge -- instant "glow". I know that people are saying that the Corvette isn't a requirement, but the Devsmay have changed things. What else would explain jumping from "surge" all the way to "glow" with a single badge?
