*****Update Notes - Publish 10.4*****
Disturbance in the Force
There has been a great disturbance in the force. An unknown power has surged through the galaxy in defense of the Jedi. The Empire's database of known Jedi has been inexplicably purged. All Bounty Terminals have gone blank. In response, the Empire has renewed all of its Bounty Hunter terminal contracts.
Given recent changes to Jedi, as a one time event:
- Jedi Visibility has been reset to zero.
- Jedi players with experience below (-1 Million) has been raised to (-1 Million)
Information:
Jedi players will gain visibility if the following actions are performed while players or NPCs are near:
- Equipping a lightsaber.
- Engaging in combat with a lightsaber.
- Using a force power.
Information:
Jedi visibility is reset to zero only when a bounty hunter that has a mission on a Jedi kills that Jedi. Visibility is not reset by random Jedi death.

How much visibility you get also depends on the type of NPC you perfrom the action infront of.

Thanks for fixing that visibility issue. Its good to have all that cleared up now. But can we start focusing on other professions besides jedi??

It would be nice if the Smuggler profession would get a little bit of attention. We still would like to have auto pull from crates restored. Last time I looked there were 32 other professions in SWG. It cant always be about Jedi can it?

Ever since this publish, I've gotten TONS of hard locks and goofy graphic glitches. Last patch I didn't have much, if any, trouble. Now though, it seems I lockup HARD whenever a DoT ticks on someone and I move the camera.
For example, if someone experiences a disease DoT, the little floating dots above their head happens. If I rotate the camera at the same time, I'm almost guarnteed a hard lock. I haven't touched my vid drivers since last patch.
I understand this really isn't the forum for this, so I will post in the tech forum with more detail. I was just curious if it was "just me", or others are experiencing this too.

Not just 10.4 issues, but one appeared with P10ish
1) When going to the ticket terminal, all the cities are in the wrong location (the orange dots) they are all shifted up and right (NW!!) , means you have to use the drop down menu to get the place you want. this only applies to the planet you are on though. all other planets are fine, and when you shuttle to a new planet they are correct when looking at the terminal for the planet u just came from but now wrong for the planet you are now on ! - This appeared with P10 if memory serves
2) POI's - if they are active in your wp monitor, when you jump planet they will remain active (IE you can have NS stronghold wp on corellia!!) by going to the POI tab in the datapad sometimes deactivates them, but only it seems if there are enough POI's on the planet you are on for it to be 'overwritten'. It is annoying if you cannot deactivate it, as you have to either log out or jump back to that planet to deactivate . Yes the easy fix is deactivate before shuttling, but you always forget
3) Slow spawning - It would appear that the rate things spawn has slowed down - Eg on Lok, you can ride (vehicle), stop and wait 20 secs before a spawn of mobs round a lair will happen. (random spawns that is not mission spawns - haven't tried them). We are now walking or using mounts (back to the good old day's) !!!
4) Combat delays - you get a msg saying you have been knocked down, 10+ secs later you fall down - or if you hit stand you never see the fall down!
This is on the Starsider Server.

I haven't seen any patch notes saying that you actually fixed the problems with GAINING visibility, just the issue with it not clearing on BH death. So I'm not sure how this is going to fix anything.
Were there fixes to how you gain visibility, that weren't listed, or have those not been adressed?
I'm referring to the grouping issue, and non-npcs and players giving you visibility.

Now that in many cases you've tripled the experience loss on bounty hunter DB's perhaps we can cap negative experience at the level you've considered it fit to restore all the griefed players at. Obviously your team has felt negative 1 million xp is enough. Make it a one time reset, meaning no one ever goes below Negative 1 million, or make it so regular professions, that are stronger than us also lose experience.
