M'kay - 2nd

The PSG stat shifting seems to be fixed now, but my PSGs seem to have been 'nerfed' so that they no longer protect against Kinetic, Blast and Acid - is this intended? Also, was the problem where a PSG would be equipped but would not function (i.e. it would not protect against damage and would not lose condition) been fixed?

Please make a way for disabled vehicles to be fixed. I really want to be able to use my AV-21 without stress. I play a game for stress relief not to add stress to my life. Maybe a Artisten repair kit that makes it able to repaired at a garage?

where is the new wookiee armor?!

This was said a million times.

STARPORT TIMES NEED TO BE CHANGED TO 5 MINUTES TOO. RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY CHANGE IS PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET TO STARPORTS FASTER TO WAIT LONGER.

I can't wait to see if Dantooine is actually faster now! The lag is horrible there, especially with vendors! wOOt!

The unannounced creature UI changes are very very bad. Creatures now seem to continuously try to adjust to their ideal range. If you have them on follow - great! You can follow them and still kill them. I hope you have melee accuracy while moving... I moved around 30m while killing a huurton huntress. If you don't follow them, congradulations! You can get melee kited (creature gets to a position where it can hit you but you cannot hit back). If you guys make a change of this magnitude, it SHOULD be tested. You just broke the game for many melee classes.

Profession: Entertainer
Players need to watch a performer for at least 2 minutes before entertainer buffs can be applied.

WHY? /sigh More time wasted just standing around doing nothing...

Vehicles / Mounts
Vehicles will no longer auto-heal when left out and stored after a player has taken a transport to another location.

This is a good thing to eliminate, but PLEASE allow disabled vehicles to be repaired while in proximity to garages.

Everything else is pretty much good, except for the Starport wait times (see "more time wasted", above)

No..... why!??! What is the reasoning behind planetary shuttles running more often but starport transports taking longer? 5 minutes should be across the board. The wait is annoying and takes away from time players could actually be playing the game. I don't know how many times I have arrived at a starport only to have the ship close up and take off, and then have to wait for ten minutes doing..... hmmm.... nothing. Why the penalty

If you don't want your vehicle to be disabled then keep it repaired, simple really

I find it amazing that so many people are complaining now that they have to pay to fix their vehicles, I bet the same one's complain that there is too much money around too, well now there is a solution
