You did indeed, and I for one started a small campaign to try and stop it happening, but was lost in the cries of it's BS and won't happen. The problem is, we shouldn't have to rely on some smart a$$ hacker (meant in a nice way!) to tell us about changes to a game we pay to play. It's just rediculous that SOE don't tell us what's going on and more importantly, WHY!
The most insane thing of this change, I'm now stuck as a totally broken template. Not 1 thing or the other. So I have 2 choices. Go full jedi, add to the issue of "Wahhh, wahhh, there are too many jedi, they spoil my game, wahhh, wahhh!", or drop back to normal profs (which is probably what I'll do). The irony of option 2 is that unless you were in a hunt group with me, you'd have never even known I had jedi skills. I carry a pike, I have Master Pikeman (or the very cool PIke Weaver) title over my head. My group icon is melee. In a lot of hunts after 2-3 pickets killed by pike I'd unleash a burst of lightening and get "Wow, how come you did that?! You're Pikes aren't you?!". So I was never part of the whining. I have not had a BH attack in 4 monthssince unlocking because I don't get vis, ie I don't showboat. I don't even walk about in the classic jedi outfit including warm hat/sunguard holding an LS. Yet my fun was removed with no explanation. In fact why expect an explanation when I wasn't even told about the change in the patch notes.
Total, total BS frankly.

Yep it was in the new patch you can't use force powers without a saber equiped
not true I can use powers unarmed just not while holding a gun or melee weapon (did more tests)
Good , working as intended then.
use a macro to switch from unarmed to your fwg5 and back again if your that desparate to use the pistol's mod'd dps of 370 odd.
used the pistol for a steady stream of damage while conserving force. guess it's back to quick PvP deaths and 10+ min waits between PvE kills for force to recharge

does anyone know at what point that you cant use your powers with a regular proffesion...Is it right out of the village, or when you get glowy, or when?
/giggle
How do you have force powers at glowey sweetie? It must just be the specials themselves have restrictions on, so when you get them as you get the skills they just don't work with a weapon equipped, much the same as they don't if you wear armour.
You can use some weapons with this new nerf, I can still use my knuckles while using all my powers...for now

There is a stickied post about this, with all the info in.. but for those who are sticky impaired....
TKM weapons are considered to be empty handed so you use the correct acc/def mods, so any TK weapons are ok with force powers.
It is OFFENSIVE powers that don't work. Healing, defense, cloaketc are ok. Lightening, Choke, mindblast, weaken etc are not.

My template is Mpowers/MDefender 2000 Enhancer and 3000 Healer. I have a real good FWG5 and rarely use a Saber.
I just found out (and retested) that while holding the FWG5 none of my Powers abilities work. I can heal or use Defender and Enhancer skills but the Powers just do not work, No system message (like when wearing armor) or anything. they just do not work.
muahaha

There is a message in the combat window, can't remember it specifically but it is shown there.
