One thing to add here you do not need to keep those Base Jedi skills once you reach knight I have tested this on TC2 and surrendered those weak ass skills in favor of more Skill points and further training in force powers





Quote from the Jedi Archieve III
--------
Will I have to retain my Force Sensitive skills after I purchase Force Discipline skills?

Yes. As other professions have requirements so do the Force Discipline skills. A player must purchase 6 full lines (24 skill boxes) of Force Sensitive skills to qualify to purchase Force Disciplines.

You where able to do this on TC2 but that is a bug. You will not be able to when it goes live - or at least you shouldn't be able to.

Well i am very concerned about this =( with only 4 1 1 1 i will get only 1 box to get novice?

Devs should recheck this really, those fs boxes are very cheap , cant even compared with 1 of the normal xp boxes (except saber xp which is going to be removed i suppose). So i will return back to beginning, please a dev respond to this situation,6 boxes are not cheap for us =/

Yeh man the FS boxes should be free for those that go on to jedi, maybe make them cost points for reg chars but really they don't give a huge bonus to jedi from what I can see they are just a waste points. The only ones I see beign usefull to a jedi are the melee def adn ranged def and the speed ones for melee. Just a SP waste, IMHO.







open your mind pls


lets see melee accuracy would be nice for any sabre users esp with your opponents having def's now


oh and 2 more experimentation pts on your sabre


also jedi luck might be nice to see if it helps loot better/more often decent stuff


and +5 terrain neg could help those non master enhancers a little bit


ooooooo and for non enhancers again force vehicular speed to out run anyone that doesn't have it


think man

ummm....this is just a thrilling prospect. Geee...i spent 6 days grinding 3.2 million xp for apprentice...then grinding my way to 4222 on knight tree...now i get to, essentially,watch my 3.2 mil xp get spent on a 40k xp box. While we're bending over to pick up our robes the devs are breaking out the vaseline. This is wrong anditneeds to change!

Somewhat less than idle note: No one's seen the extra two points, yet. No idea whether this is working as intended, or bugged. It might be like bestine port that will aid your experimentation roll without actually adding any more points.







i got to experiment on my saber with a weapon and droid kit, the extra two points did NOT work

Well I am pissed about this, because this conversion is not right to the current jedi, We have spent hours making 200k-400k-800k-3.2mil xp for each box, there going to take those boxes and turn them into boxes that I could have done for 1k-5k-45k that is BS

(Quoted from Moge_Tira_Tru)


gleaning from a few threads these are the facts on the current conversion system for your Jedi into the New system. Fact 1: TH said it would be a 1-to-1 system. Each current box will equal 1 new system box. Fact 2: there are 52 (not counting Initiate or Master Jedi) boxes in the old system and only 24 in the new system (to reach Knight). Fact 3: to be a Padawan in the new system you must have and keep 6 lines (24 boxes @ 1 skill point) of FS skills. 2 case studies: 2 people have documented their conversions from TC jedi to the current publish. These are TC jedi's not TC2. Case 1: was Padawan in old system 17 boxes. On his conversion he got to choose 11 boxes plus 6 lines in the FS tree. 11+6=17 Case 2: was a 2-2-2-2 Initiate in old system. On his conversion he got to choose 2 boxes plus 6 lines FS tree. 2+6=8 so you can see that in an odd way it is infact a 1-to-1 system. Granted no documented cases of Guardians are currently listed and the Math does not carry once you get to that level but this is how it plays out with these two cases. We need more info from Higher up Jedi to complete this but for now most of us are initiates so this is very important info.



Perhaps my math is off just a smidge but I was under the impression that 6 LINES would equal 24 points, not the 6 you had mentioned. (6 lines of 4 boxes each = 24 points). That being the case, I'm not following the "1 -to- 1 system".

That our jedi boxes get eaten up by FS skills is obviously a bug.


Those FS skills are the result of the process of becoming force sensitive. We've already done that, through hologrinding. In the future people will do it with a quest.


I can only assume this will be fixed.

The fs lines are from the quests, we gained them when we did our hologrinding, our 20+ proffesions paid for them. Expecting us to then take away jedi boxes that we got to stick into the fs boxes that are for NON-JEDI is a **edit**ing joke and completly retarded. They should be free as we got them when we unlocked.

From Moge_Tira_True?
Fact 2: there are 52 (not counting Initiate or Master Jedi) boxes in the old system and only 24 in the new system (to reach Knight).


Eh, no. There's more than 24 boxes to reach Knight. You have to spend all 250 points on force skills for knight, which evenly resolves to 2 masteries, one tree half full.
That's 18+18+9. 45 boxes. Not sure where you're getting 24 from, there are 24 1 skill point force sensitive boxes that need to be gotten (and held) but those are for Padawan, not Knight itself (except as a prerequisite). In the skill exchange, these are apparently being treated as one line per 'box' converted (so you lose one box costing far too much xp, and get four boxes of related FS boxes that would've cost vastly less generally).

I can't believe I worked 4 months to reach apprentice just to be set back that way with the revamp! If I knew what was coming, I would have stopped at Padawan and capped out without training apprentice so I could use it on more skills on the new system. I really was under the impression that the boxes we get would be traded in for actual Jedi boxes, not the force sensitive boxes that are credited for the equal of the hologrind!

I hate to say this, but if this stays this way,I'm not sure if l still want to play this game any longer...


My brother, who had to master 32 professions and is now 4-1-2-2 Padawan is already so frustrated by the conversion, that he said he's going to quit if we have to spend the hard-earned expensive skills for cheap force sensitive skills.


I guess I am whining, but Ithink it's okay for existing Jedi to do so, as this is reallytough on us
