the Dev's said that anyone opening between patch 9 and 10 will be in game as just completing the padawan trials.
Link?

So is this a 100% YES that our current Jedi slot will be the character slot that gets the conversion? Or will it be our Main slot? Is it safe to level my Main slot to a full Regular Skills template without worrying about having to drop any skills for Jedi skills after Publish 9?
If you already have an existing Jedi character, your existing JEDI slot will remain the Jedi slot and your main character will remain as it is. So yes, you may continue to level your main any way you wish.
Will my Main slot be FS? Or will I have to redo all the quests if I want him to be Force Enhanced too?
Yes, you're main slot will be force sensitive, but it will be at a Padawan level with all of your original skills intact. You may choose to develop your Main Slot up through Jedi Knight. If you develop this main character up through Jedi Knight, you will have to sacrifice your regular professions. If you want to develop your second slot as your Jedi Knight, you may choose to do all of the Force Sensitive Quests over again thereby unlocking the slot. By completing the Force Sensitive quests you can make your second slot Force Sensitive also. You may even choose to develop your second slot as a full status Jedi knight. You may even choose to develop both of your slots as Jedi if you wish. There are many possible combinations, but because there is a quest based system in place now, your main slot must be the starting point of Jedi character development after Publish 10.
You need to read between the lines, but if your opened, the pre patch 9 people will be able to have 2 jedi. and the post patch 10 will be at padawan. all new jedi's post patch 10 are jedi mains.
its not written in stone, because sony can change at there will of course.
, but with the way SOE changes things its like walking across a thin bridge of jelloMessage Edited by Ameno on 08-09-2004 09:19 PM

rofl, that's funny.
As you can read, he said he did infact "unlock" after pub9, meaning he's in limbo like most of the other people. anyone that didn't grind out professions to unlock and is going to have go to through the new quest is SOL. far as i'm concerned, they didn't want to waste time before or couldn't, why should they be handed what everyone else worked VERY hard for?
Right now for all we know is that, by unlocking we spared ourself 1 step out of the big quest adventure, and are probably falling into another unseen trap. which may or may not be worse than what we just came out of, as for anyone else well they get to start from square one...nothing you can do about it. publish10 IS about the people that got screwed out of their slot and are currently waiting, as well as the people who have waited for these so called "quest to FS".
People that are currently grinding and working for it like me, on my 31st and 32nd professions, we either unlock or we get kicked in the ass with the new quest we don't know, but i know for one thing i'm not stopping my grind until i see my message.
Edit: Oh yeah i almost forgot, the people that did unlock after pub9 between pub10 might have just gotten dropped into another brain killing grind..its not hop and skip off to Jedi. until we/they get info the begining of the FS won't truely matter to us. Only thing i can truely say on it is, that i hope its as hard as grinding all 32 professions......time wise....difficulity wise....whatever.

I started playing SWG on and off on Bria when the game started. When Infinity lauched (I'm from the UK) I started playing there, where it took me about 7 months to master 30 professions and unlock (one week "too late").
Other than playing the game, I am a full-time student, studying for a PhD, I am in a long term (cohabitting relationship - with a non-gamer), I play semi-professional football (soccer), I represent my county in athletics (both of which require huge amounts of training), I am an amateur film critic (which entails at least 10 movie viewings a week), I also spend lots of time with my off-line friends outside of all these things.
You shouldn't be so judgemental, just because you think something it doesn't always mean that you are right.
Plus I'm female, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it - I read somewhere that women are less likely to unlock or something (by that I'm not implying discrmination from SOE btw
)
Sophistry about the exact word used when the intent behind the word is extremely clear is pretty silly, but have your fun if you want.

You should take a look at the text strings ripped from the game files on swgexplorer. It looks like several of the quests are of the nature of 'Great, you helped us by doing this one time. We need you to do it 100 times, get cracking'. Possibly with a limit of one iteration per day (or game day) and possibly with the limitation that only ONE of these quests can be active at a time (so no doing repeat 95 of quest#1, and doing part of quest#2 while waiting for repeat 96).
If there's a timer, many players will leave the game, including probably me.

Re: comments
You didn't work for anything, fellow. You were sitting in front of your computer playing a game. I understand what you are getting at: that your time investment is important to you. But to pass off your choices in time management as the worthier path, than that of the person who only has 5-8 hours a week to play a computer game must be too lazy to merit a shot at a Jedi is almost patently ludicrous enough to keep from being insulting.
You can learn in Physics 101 that Workequals Forcemultiplied bydistance. I assure you, I have pushed my keys on my keyboard and button on my mouse a helluva lot more than the average SWG gamer in my pursuit of my jedi. So, yes, fellow ... I DID work for it ... if you want to get so technical.
It's not that you're "too lazy to merit a shot at a Jedi" ... you just don't want it bad enough to put the time into it. If you only have 5-8 hours a week to play ... put those into pursuing a jedi. Sure you won't be a jedi until 2006, but how bad do you want it? Oh, I see, having your fun in the game now is more important than your fun in the end. Well enjoy your fun now, but I don't want to hear you complaining when I'm having my fun kickin' your ass and your 19 buddies' in your group.
