I remember reading something somewhere (sorry I'll try to stop being so descriptive) and after reading it I thought "wow they're going to let us use the blue frogs on live servers after the combat revamp". Was I just reading it wrong, was it a dream or is it actually a possiblity?

Frogs will never be on live,they are mainly used for testing,and on those servers they are just temporary.

That's kind of what I figured. What I read went something along the lines of "We are changing the combat professions, but will give you the oppertunity to change your profession" or something like that. I may have taken it out of context or misunderstood.

Yeah I saw that too somewhere, it was some time ago though, and it was something along the lines of allowing players to distribute their currently spent skill points in whatever professions they want. You're not going nuts

most likely be like the jedi conversion that they had in pub 9, since having the frogs means people could drop skills and pick up new ones over and over agian

Like Karesh said something like the blue frogs will be used when the combat balance hits live which which give us the one time oppertunity to distribute our sp to diffirent proffesions. For example defence stackers will become pretty redundant after the Combat Balance so they will be able to instantly change to other proffesions under the new system.

Permanent blue frogs will never show up on Live servers.


When the combat revamp hits, the devs intend to allow a skill redistribution (I'd bet one-time only), since so much will be changing.


There's a post by TH here about it:



The "respec" he mentioned will probably be along the same lines as what Jedi got when that profession got a revamp last year. You'll be able to move skill boxes from currently trained professions to new boxes. Exact implementation is probably still up in the air. And it's still in development, there's the possibility that things will change (although for this particular item, I personally doubt it).


Public details are still sketchy, but expect more information to be posted as the revamp gets closer to being released.

Thanks for the info. I didn't mean an actual blue frog and figured it would be a one time thing.


And for all the people one-staring me: Are you reading my post at all?

at certain times on Test Center servers, these blue frog statues called "Character Builders" appear.



From these statues you can pick up skill boxes without having the xp for it. you can also grab structure deeds, resources, weaponry, armor, ect. They are used in order to more efficiently test things. for example, if they made a change saying that Gorax's now drop "Gorax Pearls". so head to endor and make sure that they are dropping these pearls. well, since test center occasionally has all server info wiped, there is a good chance that there would be no one that could kill a Gorax. therefore, you can go to the blue frogs, get a buff from it, as well as the necessary skill boxes and tools needed to find and take down a Gorax.
