For the next publish, non-combat professions will become eligible for respec!

Also of note, the tree cantina in Kashyyyk will now function as a normal cantina.

Of possible concern, it's stated that messages about xp granted will appear in the "general chat channel." We'll see what this means exactly and if we can avoid it if we want to.

Yes, I agree. I already have a combat profession and I don't like crafting. I loved the Musician profession and needed a medic so I created this account. Id perfer they make us useful. I will cancel this account if respecing is the only option we have. I already pay for one combat prof, I dont flipping need another!

A non-combat respec is not being offered as a "fix" for Musicians; it's being offered because the non-combat professions have changed dramatically with the combat upgrade, and some players will want to partake of the opportunity to play something else in the widely changed game.

I of course want more for us, but let's not knock good news just because it's not the specific news we want to hear yet, ok? I know I'm quite aware of people's feelings about the profession in general, and I of course let the devs know that most are feeling that we don't have enough right now; the devs have themselves stated that our inspiration buffs aren't all they have in mind for us, so they're aware of this too.

I only hope that they do not do something horribly offensive and make the entertainer respec points any lesser than combat respec points are worth.

Any clue on that, Aleyo?

Should be an even one for one... Novice Ent to Novice Combat and Elite Ent to Elite Combat.

I haven't heard exactly how it's supposed to work, but I guess we'll find out firsthand soon enough.
My own personal guess, based merely on the idea that "enable these trees" seems easier to do than "enable these trees but give them different rules," would be that they count the same. Just a guess though.

That's good thinking... I'd have to agree with that.

As you said though, we'll see soon enough.

May the force be with you.

Yeah

At least they finally did it. Hooray!

And the bug about the cantina finally got fixed!

I have no patience I dropped all of TK the second night of the CU and started working on mastering dance, so now I don't have the points to respec myself and will have to work up dancer the long way. Ah well, its more fun learning as you go anyway.

I just went in-game briefly to check it out, and it appears that non-combat professions count just as other professions do for the respec. In fact, as a 250 pt entertainer, I ran out of skill points trying to build up combat masteries (TKA/Smuggler/Pistoleer, which share many pre-reqs) before I came close to running out of respec points.

In addition, I've confirmed that you can respec *to* non-combat professions if you wish, not just to combat professions, as some were worrying.
