Um, when exactly are they fixing the droid times? Next week? Better be. This bug is way too lame for us to be sitting on our thumbs waiting months to get fixed. Wepps? Any inside info?

Lave (3444 BH - Eclipse)

I didn't see any inside info when I was browsing the Correspondent Forum, but all they need to do is switch the +droid speed to -droid speed. At least the Precision works...

I know I probably wont get an answer here, but I figure it is worth a shot. I was just wondering if it is possible to open FS without doing what the Holocrons tell you? I know that powergamers are supposed to be the ones opening the FS but how is someone that is told to master Tailor or any other grinding profession a powergamer when they can just use a macro program like AutoIT? In my opinion that just makes the player resourceful not a powergamer. I'm sure that a good response to this is that the holo will also tell you to master a combat skill as well, however, someone that gets master bh or over master commando is just unlucky not a powergamer. So back to my original question, is it still "possible" to open FS if you do not complete the professions that the holocrons tell you? I am just looking for a Yes/No answer here not anything in detail to give us some hope. I do consider myself a powergamer but I really don't want to grind out Tailor because it is just plain boring to me.

I'll save you the torment and just answer "yes"

i think i saw where a dev said they weren't mandatory to open you FS slot

Yeah,I wouldlike to know also.. Image designer is not what I had in mind for my character.

Do you have a link to that Dev response?

You do not need to ever use a Holocron to open you FS slot, but the Holocrons do give hints as to what your personal path is. So if you do use a Holocron and it tells you to become amaster tailor, then mastor tailor IS one of the steps you need to take to open the slot. You didn't need to find that out from a Holcron, you could have just mastered tailor all on your own, but it is one of the steps you would have needed to take with this particular character to open the slot.

I saw an interesting theory by antother poster. If I were to paraphrase, he says there are x number of random things you need to do. Each thing gives you points. When you get a certain number of points then you open the FSCS.

He also thought that the Holocrons give you professions to master and mastering these professions give you bonus points.

In other words, you do not have to master these professions, even if you use the holocron, they are bonus points so make it easier to open the FSCS. You still need to do a lot of items you your hidden list, but mastering these chosen professions means you now need to do less. And if you choose to not do the profession from the Holocron then you can still unlock the FSCS.

So if this was the way the process was implemented, then you could ignore the Holocron. But I would not bet on it. If I get a Holocron I will finish mastering TKA/Ranger/CH which are my primary skills before working on anything else.

I understand that the holos give you quest to complete. I was asking is that the only way to open it? Is there one set path and that is it? Should all the powergamers that can't stand to gind but live for combat and PvP give up hope that they will open the FS?

I was just wondering if it is possible to open FS without doing what the Holocrons tell you?

=========================================================

Note: He is not asking if you can open the FSCS witout using a holocron. We know you do not need Holocrons to open the FSCS.

He is asking 'If I found a Holocron and I used the Holocron and the Holocron told me to master X, then can I open the FSCS without mastering X'.

If this is the actual questions, then to be acurate we dont know the answer. We could speculate that you would be unable to open the FSCS if you specifically chose not to master the profession from the Holocron but that would be a guess.

Thanks Leanna, that is exactly what I was asking.
