Of course you won t be able to do that.


That would be a major exploit lol.


But still, I feel for Deli as I m in the exact same scenario. I levelled very slowly (I m fasten a bit now bc of the transition system announced/uncovrered), and as a 4122 initiate, I get squat in the new system so far compare to now.

Having unlocked maybe 2 weeks ago I got to 4111 and have stopped till publish 9 goes in. I havent grinded much so if this 6 boxes goes into live then oh well I will have 1 box. I havent done a huge amount of grinding so no biggy.


However I agree it is wrong. I think the initiate box or novice jedi box if you want to call it that should be translated to the Force sensitive skills. Afterall thats why I grinded 31 professions to get that Novice Initiate. The grind is now being replaced by the quests. Once the quests are done you become a padawan. So therefore if you holo'd you shold also start as a padawan. Its just logic.



If that is the case then I will be stoked. As a 4111 ive grinded 4 boxes of LS XP and 3 boxes of Jedi XP. I could start the new system with 4003 lightsabre(this would be heaps of free XP as 4 of myprevious boxes were only LS XP)and compliment my shortfalls in jedi skills with medic and TKA or something

thsi is going to be devistatig to the low lvl live jedi's, the system was made so that you would get to keep your normal skills whial you were a low lvl jedi, but all of the current jedi dont have any other skills, there is no way that a jedi with 2 skills could get anythign done.... i am assuming that novice will cost something, and so that would leave me with 1, yes only 1 box.




The first saber box above novice is 200k jedi experience, which will have to be whacked out with a 1st gen saberthat will typically be quite poorer than the current live versions due to the spreading of saber assembly and experimentation into yet another column of the tree.


The two paradigms, current system on live and publish 9 revamp, areincompatible, and the devs seem to have selected the harshest possible solution for sticking the proverbial square peg into the round hole. The six lines of force sensitive skills are *pre-unlock* in the new system, and yet current jedi will be forced to spend *post-unlock* skill credits to purchase them. This is less of an issue for those in the middle to the top of the current system, but initiates will be penalized heavily.


A more equitable solution would be the awarding of skill credits to purchase those six lines in exchange for the current initiate box and deducting the 24 sp from the 250 total as per normal. This would leave current initiates a little better off. It would also more accurately transcribe pre and post unlock grants between the two systems.
