No. It's more like a quadratic calc error.

I mentioned some would. However, this is accurate and now you know truly where you stand...

What is your new FS?

I'm back to tingle again, I was at faint. I do believe though you had mentioned before Ed that it was a glitch some people rolled being tingle to start. Only have done master pistoleer and master CH, around 10 POIs, and rebel and jabbas theme park. Atleast it makes sense. However, I went from feeling like I was piloting a dry-masted Spanish galleon headin to a force sensitive island to being Tom Hanks on his raft, with losing Wilson (being my force sensitivity) lol. All good though takes a lot to discourage me.

Yes, the calculations were actually giving new players (this was the indicator that overall calc was wrong) a tingle. Whoops

Again, it is right now (on Test and in the coming update).

Lol. Guess I found my path after doing everything PVE related.

Glad I finally pin pointed it!!!!

Nice to see the patch on

I'll need to rush to a shrine after work

Wait the patch is in? Or just in the test server?

Not on Live yet.

I updated on the Test server this morning with a fix. Need folks to join and stress it a bit... do everything you can think of at least twice...

Hmm I been thinking about this for last couple days and obviously there is some badge requirements. What i been thinking about though is will you have to have rebel and Imperial badges? I would hope not but does anyone have theory on this? Example rebel theme park and Imperial theme?

Hmmm...

During this time line... do you know of a Jedi that wasn't considered associated with one side or the other? Join the fight, Jedi aren't neutral.

I'm pretty sure I stated that in this thread. It kinda coincided with the FS event which you had to be faction aligned.

There are no neutral Jedi on Awakening.

Yea i knew that you had to choose faction but i Kinda had thoery that maybe at character creation it comes up with random list of badges you need,. meaning what if you got rebel and imperial theme park. Yea just been doin a little theory crafting myself. But yea was just thinking that would suck if that was the case but can see now that it is not.

I think his concern was more along the lines that you need badges from both sides, which would require switching factions. If I read it correctly anyway.

Unfortunately it is in fact random for everyone. The earlier post that mentions "weight" re-inspired mine and Baid's very first theory of a "point system". Every so many points will get you past a certain threshold of force sensitivity. However certain badges have more or less "weight" than others based on what you rolled at character creation.

Example. Baid was at the "tingle" stage for a very long time. Even though he did all the theme parks including both imp and rebel. As well as getting both warren badges, and the mark of courage. He didn't reach "faint sense" until after he mastered the scout profession, however he did get the 75 badge mark at the same time. POINT BEING. Content badges held very little, if any, "weight" for his character.

I, on the other hand had tingle after all 45 poi badges, 7 profession badges, and a few race tracks. It wasn't until I gained a mysterious sensitivity boost, without gaining any more badges or doing quests and went to "faint sense". After that I mastered a few more classes with no results. But with the last being another combat profession, I finally did Nym's, Jabba's, Imp theme parks, Warrens, Mark of courage. Which then shot me straight from Faint to "The Force is growing within you". So for my character, content badges held much more weight for me than mastering classes. I believe I'll still need to master some more classes to finally push me into force sensitivity, just hopefully not too many.

Still, the best way to get to Jedi is to do the easiest things first. Get a combat profession or two. Get all the poi's. Do a theme park or two. Then see where you stand. Of course frequently check your sensitivity along the way after the shrines are fixed. If mastering a profession or two gave you a bump, then keep doing that. If all the poi's on a planet gave you a bump, keep doing that. If doing a theme park gave you a bump... you see where I'm going with this. You pretty much just have to play the game, as Cynar and Ed keep saying.

And hope your character isn't profession weighted =D. Also, get onto the test server and help them fix the patch so we can get it into live faster. But don't forget to check your sensitivity while you're there.
