:) good morning. trying to erase some dark side points on my Jedi toons. is there anyway to erase points? There should be a way.

 

Thanks

Chet

 

Once you reach Dark 5 or Light 5, the opposite points will get erased. But up until that point there is not anything you can do

As I recall, there is a limit to the total number of points (dark or light) you can have, which is basically the number of points it takes to reach dark 5 or light 5 (I forget the exact number).

  • While your total point pool is below this point, you can't do anything to remove 'undesirable' points.
  • Once you hit the 'cap', any further point gain also results in the loss of points from the other side.

So, if your 'pool' is full, gaining 20 LS pts will result in the loss of 20 DS pts. When you hit Dark 5 or Light 5, your opposing point total will be 0.

Both of the above are subtly wrong.

 

The maximum for DS and the maximum for LS is the same, 100 000 points.

 

If one side is at 100 000 and the other is at zero, you are rank V in the side that's at 100 000.

 

If you have fewer than 100 000 *net* (after subtracting the points of the lower) in the higher, you are a lower rank.

 

If your two sides are different by less than 3 000 points, you are "neutral" == neither dark nor light.

 

Let's take some concrete examples for the rest.

 

1. 90 000 Light and 10 000 Dark == difference of 80 000 in favour of Light, so, according to the criteria, you are Light IV. If you gain a few (100, say) more Dark points, you will go to 90 000 Light and 10 100 Dark, difference 79 900, still Light IV.

 

2. 100 000 Light and 20 000 Dark == difference of 80 000 in favour of Light, so you are Light IV.

 

3. Case 2, but now you gain 1000 Light points and no Dark points. You become 100 000 Light (unchanged) and 19 000 Dark (reduced by 1000). Still Light IV.

 

4. 100 000 Light and 100 Dark. You are at 99 900 difference, so you are Light IV.

 

5. Case 4, and you now gain 150 Light. That erases the last 100 Dark (with 50 that go to waste), and you pass to 100 000 L / Zero D, and you are now Light V.

 

6. ((IMPORTANT)) You are Light V and gain 100 Dark, so you go from 100 000 L + 0 D to 100 000 L + 100 D, and you are now Light IV. If you go back to case 5, you will be Light V again.

Except I'm not wrong. His question was how to erase points. Which there is only 1 way to do that. When you reach 100000 L or D, it will erase any points you had of the other

Except you said that when you get to rank V, the points get erased. You have to erase the points to even get there.

Once you reach Dark 5 or Light 5, the opposite points will get erased. But up until that point there is not anything you can do

 

EDIT: And you erase off-side points by earning on-side points when the on-side total is 100 000, on a one-for-one basis.
