I've heard a rumor that a requirement that one needs to be using a lightsaber to use force abiltities is going to be implemented, has anyone heard further on this?

Was it from red text or typical forum paranoia?

They are trying to "fix" (i get a shudder when i think of a "fix" and these "developers") the so called "hybrid templates".

Their "fix" will be, that you only can use Jediskills with a lightsaber equipped.

That would technically cause the sideffect, that a Forcewielder must equipp a saber too, thats what youve heard prolly.

Ok, so it is as I feared. I'm not sure why SWG is trying to get rid of hybrid templates... it would seem that their system generally encourages it. I don't see why I should commit to being a full fledged jedi... the EU doesn't support this, although I suppose the films do.... not looking forward to regrinding those jedi trees...

Is there a dev post discussing this somewhere?

its to stop the Hybrid guys with CM and Jedi etc..


It was a in development note I think.


But it was legit, makes sense though we had this once before actully.

I've heard it as well, so far IMO it's all just gossip. My advice, don't believe ANYTHING until you see it on Test Center at least... and even then be skeptical about whether or not it's going live.


Also, if you're posting a reply to questions like this, try to stick to verifiable facts.. not just what you heard because that only makes matters worse.

And what is wrong with Jedi being a CM also? They can be a TKM or a Doc....even a crafter. Are BH's the only ones that can add CM to their template? I smell CONSPIRACY....hehe

Here is the deal:


With Pub 22 they pushed a buynch of new information to .tre files but left it inactive.


Another player pulled the information out of the .tre files and posted it on the forums.


Blixtev, came in and said it was like ruining surprises and that it was for the expansion.



The can not use force power with any other weapon was in there, along with other stuff such as 5 new robes, holocrons teaching you about the 7 forms of LS combat and so on.


If you look through dev tracker or searc blixtev's posts I am sure you can find it. I do not think it was deleted

Just seems to me like they are trying to get all of us into a few templates that can be beaten by the garden variety BH.
