There is so much misinformation on these boards, I understand and support Tal-N's post. I am tired of these "I -have-a-cousin-who-has-a-friend-who's-sister-told-him".


Calling you a liar, Can Able, was perhaps harsh, butthere is a possibility that what you see as truth is in fact not.


How do youKNOW a [rogue] CSR is running around giving out these "mythical" harvestors?What is his/her name? Why not post a SS of this harvestor?


Are you in the habit of /examining every single harvestor you come across?


"Thease things exist and will be coming in to game over next couple of weeks"


Where did you read this? Where did you get this information from?


"And once i reslied what the BIO har harvester was capable"


Considering you never operated/admin a "bio harvestor", how do you KNOW what it is capable of?


Any chance, that what you saw was actually a Flora Harvestor a player just named "Bio Harvestor"?



"I have been wating for this game for4 years"


Game was announced 3 1/2 years ago and released over 3 months ago Considering all your "information" you have shared with us in this thread, I must assume you to be a longtime employee of Verant/SOE. (*thatlast statement is meant as a joke, so put that flameretard[ent] suit back into the closet*)

I'm 100% with Tal'N on this one, Afraid I'm going to be rude and say 'liar' myself, and repeatedly.


Showing screenies of a stack of milk, along with an experimentation screen of an artfully obstructed prototype (if you were taking the screenshot deliberately, there's no reason to have overlapping windows, neh? And it's not like hitting the clearly labeled 'print screen' button on the keyboard is a stretch of computer genius), does not anything like proof make.


Show me a screenshot of the harvester's interface, with the types and classifications of harvestable goods. You know what I mean. The thing you get EVERY time you choose a resource on a real harvester. Heck, show me the deed (you know, the thing you get whenever you pull the harvester up so you can put it down again) AND the shot of the operate screen with a milk selected, the resource picker screen, and the status screen.


As for the psuedo logic above demanding Taln prove they DON'T exist... I laugh, truly. Proving something that is tangible exists (or at least showing credible things that approach proof, like undoctored screen shots of something recognizable) can be done. Proving the non-existance of something is a much neater trick. Would you like screenshots of the schematic trees? From the test center, where this mythical device would be BEING TESTED if it was going to be rolled out at any moment?



It's a scam, a farce, and a clever excuse for a bottomless supply of rare materials. I firmly believe this, just like I firmly believe the email I got two days ago about having won over a million dollars from a south american lottery I 'just happened' to be entered through nameless websites, where I would be disqualified if I contacted anyone but the sender of the email (and not via reply). Riiiiiight.


Now pull the other one.

Side notes: These 'bio harvesters'didn't exist in beta3, when the farmer turned into the bio engineer. There has never been a source for seafood as a harvest, and it only showed up in the form of (rarely) dropped mollusks in the end of beta, right before fishing. And devs have been approached on this issue repeatedly and expressed zero interest in it, citing professional conflicts with scouting/harvesting abilities. I'll be the first to admit the dev staff can and does contradict earlier statements regularly, but I'm still quite convinced they haven't on this one.



Also: Milk drops (rarely) from some thug type mobs, notably plasma thieves (and apparently moisture). I've looted some from nightsisters, and escaped singing mountain clan slaves (I think it was). The problem is getting anything like a stack (much less a stack deep enough to feed a factory). As is the problem with seafood with the downtime of fishing. Resource duplication has come up repeatedly and publically on these forums, don't act surprised that people can leap to the conclusion it's come up again without anything like proof.

Liar might have been too strong a word, how about if I say that you are claiming something is happening which is not only hard to beleive but many people have not witnessed nor have you submitted proof of and I beleive you are intentionally trying to spread disinformation as it gives some kind of perverse pleasure for you. That sound better?

I say again you all can believe what you wish and side with you you think is right. I myself have seen it therefore I know it existed. Whether they got em all outta game is something else. There were tickets put in on these items and that is why I no longer have access to one. So can't get you a screen shot and don't think I would even if I did have access still. And examine an item tells you what it really is not what a player names it. You all want "proof". like I said just cause you ahven't seen it doesn't mean it doesnt exist

duped is how... that or he has -5billion plasma thieve faction


I'd sell active tranqs (25 milk) for 50k if I could get my hands on milk (given the extreme rareness of it). 40cpu sounds like a bargain.

Considering both people (penicillin and canabis) who have seen and operated it, are in the same guild (oasis),I would say that says enough. As they have stated, this item does not exist (any longer) because CSR pulled it. Let this thread and story of a bio harvestor die off

The milk I can see as havening to be hand harvested like fish and eggs. While I hate how slow that would be I can accept that method before a harvester.





I have 4 units of Endorian domesticated milk gotten for me by a guild mate. Hesaid (and I believe him) that he got it by searching a lair. An act that anyone Ibelieve, scout or not, can do. Course I'm not sure just how much I'm going to be able to do with 4 units of milk that is 2 resource shifts old. Kinda like the 4 small sets of eggs that Ihave. . .

OK...well i have a few points for this tread now. I have been monitoring this tread since i stoped posting in it.


Point 1 : To the person that said the game has not be in development for 4 years, Well it appered on the www.starwars.com News updates in March 2000 , I went to find the Link but could not find it anymore, and i read about Starwars galaxies in 1999 in a magazine , so I have been wating for it for 4 years


Point 2 : To the person that said Just let this tread die, well If you notice my self and Pen have not been the ones dragging it back up, I had no plans to post again in it till i had Proof then i was going to make all the Non- belivers Eat there words.


Point 3 : Just becuse me and Pen are in the same PA do's not mean that He is covering for me , If you had read the hole thread then you would have noticed that Pen was actully mad at me, Becuse I had a Bio Harvester removed from another PA member that Lost Pen his supply of milk.


Point 4 : Why have CSR's said to others that on sight they are removed, That imply's to me that the CSR's know about them and have Eknoledged that they exist.


Point 5 :I was not the first person to bring up the exists of the Bio harvester, If you read the first post in this tread some one stats that a person told them that is where they where getting the milk from.


Now, wether you belive use is not the point any more, becuse i am not bothed, i will keep this thread marked and as soon as evidence comes to my hands i will indead shear it with you all


Have a nice day


P.s i so wish i could Cut and paste in to word to check my spelling but it screws me when i try
