Well folks...its beginning...
The first servers are coming down (or are down, pending on the schedule) and we won't see them until tomarrow. Likewise, the other waves won't be seeing the CU until a bit later than those of us in the first CU waves. There are positives to the CU, but there are also negatives..irregardless, I wish you all good luck with the new system and the respec.
Its going to be a busy day tomarrow, and as you all know I've been looking into the respec on the TC conversion servers as often as I can, and have a pretty good understanding of the workings with the respec...if anyone has any questions ingame, Ill be there to help (as well here on the forums). So feel free to send a question my way to Chilastra.stern.
The respec system so far has appeared to be a one time gig, so make sure you're super careful with it (once you're on the respec screen - THATS it, no turning back). Also, if you have standard points, put them into elite skills then drop those skills - you'll recieve elite points in the place of the standard points, and I noticed it nets you 2-3 extra skill boxes...

A new age is dawning, albeit it still needs building and enhancing, but its a new age nevertheless.

Wow, I love the CU and all but it does NOT need to go live just yet. It reminds of the time about two years ago....

Yep, however its happening. We're going to have to work together (not a change for you guys! We've always had solidarity) to get through this.
Already there was a revolt on Bria that was quelled by Droidekas, so it also may be wise to try and include your home server in on this too (as I did with another thread on Chilastra).

Thanks for being there mate and nice work on trying to keep things smooth. I'd say out of all the boards on the subject of the CU, we had oneof the most focused group of testers. /salute to all the Commandoes that tested as well as those that were not able to, but provided thoughts and asked strong questions.
I also have had a lot of tinkering on the respec testing portion, so if Stern is not avail for some reason... hit me up at shadowfire.bishop, bloodfin.kylin, shadowfire.rhydon, or bloodfin.kylin. I'd be more than happy to help anyone out before they make a mistake. Remeber it is only one shot at it, so take your time and think about everything before you settle down and accept.

Is it correct that the bug preventing full templated Master Commandos from spending all 250 of their skill points in the respec has not been fixed? My present template needs a respec to be viable (imo), so an inabilkity to respec fully means I simply cannot play, uness I'm willing to swallow the loss, which I'm not).

What i'm wondering- My current template is Master Commando, BH 0040, and Pistoleer 0043. Am I gonna be screwed as far as those two boxes of the Rifles and Carbines in the marksman skill box? Will I be able to use those now uneeded boxes to add into my bounty hunter skills, instead of being left with 28 unusuable skill points that I have to grind with the bounty hunter?
I hope to god not, since if they reduced the requirements for our profession so we don't need these anymore, why are we forced to re-grind because we can't allocate them to a higher profession. And... I remember hearing StarNick mentioning something about Master Marksman counting as an Elite points... so I can put those in my Bounty hunter?

I haven't gotten to do as much CU testing as I'd have liked, but I do know that this isn't good.
The CU has promise, but it's nowhere near ready to go live yet. It should stay on the test servers for at least another month to iron out all the bugs.
I have a four day weekend coming up finally. I was going to use that to work on both my characters, but with a buggy CU going live within the next 48 hours... I may just wait two weeks or so and watch the forums to see if they iron out all the problems.
