The scope of the new Jedi path includes several distinct phases of character growth. Starting as a "regular" character, players will advance through simple Force sensitivity by completing a series of quests and skill boxes and may decide either to remain as a main character with Force sensitivity enhancements like Leia or pre-Jedi Luke, or players may choose to continue on the path toward becoming a full Jedi. Once players complete the required Force sensitivity stage, they will advance down the path as a Padawan through the PvE portion up through the rank of Jedi. After becoming a Jedi, the path of the Jedi becomes much more difficult as players ascend to the rank of Jedi Knight. A Jedi Knight may choose to remain at this point along the path or choose to move on to an entirely new level of gameplay. Jedi Knights may go on to test themselves in the Jedi trials, thereby joining the PvP Force Ranking system. In this, both PvE and PvP play styles are available to players.
Players will have to complete a series of quests in order to enable their Force Sensitive Skills. These quests are for anyone who has not yet completed the existing Jedi path, regardless of how many professions they have mastered. These quests represent Jedi Revamp Part 2: The Jedi Trials which will be live in Publish 10. We will discuss the details in future Jedi Archives as we get closer to that publish. I know there are many of you eager to know how the switch to the new Force sensitivity path will affect you so I felt we needed to touch on the key points. Credit will be given to players for the professions they have mastered and that credit is the ability to rapidly advance through the Force sensitivity path. These are skill boxes that enable small gains towards skills a player will be familiar with. These skill boxes will be "Force enhancements" that will augment their existing professional skills to simulate a fictional "Force sensitivity". For example, a player can purchase a box of Crafting Sensitivity and gain a small bonus to crafting. This simulates their character being more in tune with the Force so they may have slightly better reflexes, insights, etc. All these skills are passive and do not generate "Jedi visibility".
