this sucks, I haven't been able to log into my TC character for like a month and the CSR's have not helped me at all.so i will be left out of the jedi testing, Just cause i already had a character on TC I still won't get to test the new jedi stuff unless I logged in during the last 2 weeks? Its not even my fault i tried logging in and i kept crashing during the loading screen, Can any of the devs help me out?
I have the same problem and yet no dev answers it amazes me. I would play on TC alot more if I could actually get on but who cares.

eh? ...on tc?...ok...um...not realistic...you want us to use our jedi to kill krayts...even though almost no one on live does....you want to us to test the publish, and we are very excited to do so...but then you throw this at us...so...either give us enough pearls, crystals, and resources to test the system...or make getting pearls and crystals on tc2 extremely easy...otherwise...everyone will thumb their nose at the idea, then complain when it goes live...which is undoubtedly annoying to you.
This is stuff that needs to be tested. Remember, Jedi are not going to be like they are now, and it is very possible the methods of obtaining Pearls/Crystals may change. In order to fully test something, you have to cover all the bases. I would guess, based on this statement, that they have changed the methods by which crystals/pearls drop. That means this needs to be tested by Jedi to make sure when the patch goes live, Jedi *can* actually obtain them by themselves without having to resort to buying them from other players.
It would be pretty bad if they all gave us Crystals and Pearls for free to make our sabers out of from the begining, only to have the patch go live and everyone find out they aren't dropping properly, or in ways impossible to obtain.

What?
How many new character toons does it take to kill a Krayt?
He is saying that they want to test the new drop rate, and who knows perhaps a Jedi Kinght in the new system can solo Krayts...
That's not what he's saying at all. The drop rate was not even mentioned, you dreamed that part up yourself. They're saying there will be an alternative way of obtaining pearls and crystals. Somethng other than from a Krayt. But for now, they want to test our ingenuity at getting them from Krayts. If we are successful and it proves to not be a problem, it may not change at all. Their worry was that young padawans will not be uber enough to obtain what they require to build a light saber. My guess would be that in order to have an easier way implemented, we need a low success rate at killing Krayts.
