There is a problem whene exiting vehicles lately. When exiting a vehicle, the game freezes for a second, then places the character about 20m away from the vehicle. What's up with this? Is it just my computer, or an in-game glitch?

If theres one thing I hated about this publish It's the Jedi revamp. Now I admit, they were unpowered before, and they old system was hard for some of them, I hope its not just my galaxy that I notice that Jedi are waltzing around like its no big deal, Jedi's know just as well now that with Lightsaber damage and basically everything being vulnerable to it that they really have nothing to fear. Every POI, every dungeon I go to theres groups of Jedi killing everything, I know Jedi are powerful, but SOE there is a fine line between powerful and godly and you've way passed it. I think the problem is that people are paying too much attention to Jedi all the sudden, My personal opinion is that they just made it so Bounty Hunters only need exploration 4 to get BH because nobody is willing to stand up to Jedi anymore so they need more people for doing the dirty work. Everyone wants a Jedi now, and with the revamp it makes it possible for everyone to get one, without having to do every profession just to get it. One thing that amazes me most about Lightsaber damage is that every armor is vulnerable to it, now correct me if im wrong but I do believe that Mandolorian armor is the "strongest" armor in the galaxy, now your gonna sit there and tell me that the strongest armor in the entire universe is vulnerable to one thing, lightsabers? I mean it's gotta have at least some sort of resists to it doesnt it? Correct me if im wrong but didn't the Jedi have quite a hard time battling the mandolorians in KOTOR? The one thing that bothers me the most is that I feel like all the Galaxies are going to fill up with Jedi now, you listened to the Jedi complain and whine about how people would find them and their TEF's that you completely forgot the secrecy Jedi were supposed to hold. You even have a search option for people to find Jedi members and such. Theres more professions than just Jedi in this galaxy last time I checked and if your going to do a complete publish for Jedi then I put my vote down that you Revamp my professions too, yup one whole publish for doctor, and one whole publish for fencer. It's only fair isnt it? The combat revamp can only pay attention to some specific things. (Sarcastically) If Jedi's get their own publish everyone should because otherwise ill just whine like the Jedi until I get my way!

My only complaint with this publish is the fact that Jedi seem to have come out of the woodwork like ants in springtime. Their fun comes at many players expense as they camp popular hunting spots looking for exp and loot.
With great power must come great responsibility. Running around butchering the local wildlife is beneath the Jedi. Challenging the Emperor and protecting the citizens of the galaxy from tyrany is their job. make them do it.

Right now the state of the Galaxy is not that we need Jedi to protect us from the bad emperor ..We need a bad emperor to protect us from even worse JEDI !!

No it doesn't. Healing commands always went into the command queue, you just couldn't see them. All they did was add an icon into the window to show the position. It's no slower now than before the patch.

I guess everything I could have to say about this Publish have already been said except for one thing:
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE OTHER WOOKIEE ARMORS YOU PROMISED US 4 MONTHS AGO ?!
I couldn't really participate in any high level content (i.e. Corvetter or Death Watch Bunker) because I die SOOOOO FAAAST ! And don't try to explain this by saying "you need to be grouped to be able to do this content", the problem is just that once we get targeted by anything we get killed almost instantly if a doc isn't constantly healing us (and we can't have a doc specifically for wookiees in every single group).
I don't need the armour right now (though that'd be really good), but at least give us wookiee players a clear, realETA on that.
I'm sorry for posting this here but I'm starting to believe we can't see any progress nor have any real communication on anything if we don't spam these forums. I'm aware this attitude (i.e. spamming) could lead to a ban but I'm really tired of waiting for the ability to participate in the game with all my non-wookiee friends.

Posted originally on farstar:
Not a bug, but a hole in the economy that should be addressed.
* * *
I thought about this a long time when I was looking at the economy, and applied it to great success (as an experiment). Buy items off the bazaar that are in direct competition with your items, and inflate the price.
here's an example;
BobTheNewb has 500 units of good carnivore meat.
Bob decideds to put it on the bazaar for a reasonable price (lets say 10cpu for arguments sake)
BillTheRanger is collecting and selling his carnivore meat for half price, and Bob's prices have been undercut.
However Bob has enough money to buy up all the stock on the bazaar that undercuts his prices, and resell them at his "now inflated" rate. Bob makes 50% profit on all the meat he bought because, no one can buy the product because it is not available (it's in bob's inventory). The product is only being sold by one source, and anyone who undercuts bob will have his product purchased by Bob and resold at profit, and bob can keep doing this until the resource runs out (or his cash reserves/interest in the product wanes). Bob takes little risk and makes a huge profit...
Luckily one thing that limits this bazaar behavior (pun not intended) is that there is a limited number of items you can have on the bazaar at one time... That's not much of a limitation though. It just means bob has to make more trips to the bazaar, and since you can purchase items from any terminal anywhere in the galaxy he can do this easily.
Soulution: Set minimum/maximum selling prices, the same thing would happen in every country in the world if prices weren't restricted by government regulations and laws.

About the armor delay...
I realize that something had to be done if people unequipped armorto use something, like force powers, and then equipped again. But as it is now it is very annoying. Not only because it takes such a long time to equip it piece by piece, but because it looks worse. Even when out overt I like going around in my normal clothing not switching to armor until the actual fight. There is room for so much more variation in this game using clothing, and people will look different. With the armor delay though I will be forced to walk around only in my composite all the time, which I find a bit boring.
I'm not sure how much delay is needed to avoid the possibility of exploits, but maybe you could make a 5 second delay for the whole armor, not just for piece? That is after putting on the first piece, you can't shoot for 5 seconds but putting on a second piece of armorwould work fine.
Anyway youdo it,I do hope this will be changed somehow.

This probably doesn't hurt the masses but, I unlocked 3 days after publish 9, and I understand not being able to do anything with the whole jedi force sensi part of it all. I am pretty unhappy to be stuck with a mind gimp rodian now as my jedi but thats something I guess just won't ever get addressed, the races that are ming gimp and therefore at a major disadvantage that is. My real problem at the moment is
I cannot create my new character, which will have no force anything because the jedi now are the mains (see above gripe). So basically now, I have nothing at all I can do. I cannot take the time to grind a useful profession on the character I have, as it will go to waste and after grinding 31 heaven forsaken proffessions I am not really in the mood to grind another profession I won't be able to keep (go figure huh?). I hope someone can relate to this. It seems letting me have the character to work on while I wait who knows how long for pub 10 would be the slightestconsilation at this point. Hope this makes sense.

CMs to powerfull! Cms on my server tick for 1.2k +!!!!! thats more then jedi can hit for in pvp!!! Since the nerf of cure poison and disease it takes several times of force cure to cure! On Valcyn its a CM war and nothing but that. When trying to fight thats all there is at battles and who can last the longest with cms at there side. Reduce the damage output of cms! If not make the force cures back to what they were before patch!!
TH tell us something about what is going to be done about CMs!!!! (I am sure they would like to know also)
