or FS powers on your main until Publish 10





That's pretty clear to me that my main will be the FS character after Pub 10 if I unlock between 9 and 10. So I'm back to really bummed.

If I unlock, and my 2nd character becomes a normal character, not an F.S. character, then my account will be immediately cancelled. If this is the path the Devs have chosen to follow, they're fools.

What sucks even more is that you can't ask anyone to clarify this cause they will all answer the same thing: "We cannot give any information regarding this at this time, Refer to the knowledge base blah blah blah thnx for playing SWG"


Is there some place that we can get some straight answers to this issue, cause according to me it is a HUGE issue. Hell i've been on the boards since this morning reading post after post to find out more about this... and im not even sure if i know more then i knew 6 hours ago. WHERE CAN I GET INFORMATION STRAIGHT FLAT OUT?!

Ditto. There is absolutely no good reason for their decision to do it this way between 9 and 10. It makes absolutely no sense and all it's doing is pissing off everyone that's been obediently following the carrot they've dangled in front of us forever.

Man you guys are freaking out over nothing, lets take a deep breath....


If you unlock inbetween the publishes your 2nd charcter will be the one the offer the F/S skills on and such. Now after publish 10 you will have the option to make your main charcter a jedi by going through the quest system. No one is going to mess with your main charcter but you guys.

So, If I unlock after publish 9, I get notification, but it is useless to gain any skills with my main because I'm going to have to drop skills for Jedi, but I also cannot play the new non-FS slot?


That seems pretty lame.





To be swayed neither by your oppenent nor his sword is the essence of victory.

I would also like to know because I need to decide whether to keep grinding professions or wait for the quests. Ifmy main becomes Jedi if I unlock between the publishes, then I am just going to stop the grind and make my character the way it was before and wait for the stupid quests.



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. The new character slot will be a standard character. You can choose to go through the Force Sensitive quests again to allow that character to advance their Force abilities, but the entire quest line will need to be repeated with all the normal restraints.

The JA II was referring to post publish 10 though. At that time they had not decided what was happening between 9 & 10. Many things have changed since.

Are you aware that you have to spend 24 skill points on force sensitive skills in the new system to be a Jedi? In the quest system, you will gradually build these 24 boxes up, dropping one of your normal skills one at a time... for those of us who are jedi or unlock before pub 10, we wil be at minimum Jedi Padawam's, with 30 skill points used already. That requires mass alteration to your main that you were not aware you had to plan for. I have seen TH say it. I don't know where though.


If I'm wrong, and I don't believe I am, then god help the devs.





Yes, and those skill points cost force exp. That is why I am guessing they give you force exp as the credit for any master professions and/or completed holos.If that is the case then itis up to you to drop or not drop skills to use that force exp. That would make the most sense, at least for those that haven't unlocked. For those that have, they could do a jedi converion like they are doing this publish, or just get lazy and give enough force exp to the main to get padwan. The second char would be just like all the other second chars made after pub 10. Pretty much anyones guess at this point.


It has already been stated the primary becomes the jedi after pub 10. No new jedi after pub 9. So what does happen to those inbetweeners isn't known. I see a lot of wishful thinking though. Personally I like the choice, I can take the force skills or drop them after unlocking. Redoing all those quests again would suck, but that is how subscriptions get renewed, by having stuff for you to do.

Well i just spoke with CSR-PaulM, and he told me that your main becomes FS... So i guess for all those of us who unlock between now and pub 10, we may as well put our mains in mothballs untill pub 10 cause we will have to drop all our skills anyway to train as a jedi. AND we have to wait till pub 10 to get our main templates up and running on the secondary character... what fun......
