This "concept" completely blows out of the water the whole reason of keeping all the servers synchronized. Just checked again, a day later, Corbantis is STILL on Phase 1. Wonderful. Maybe if I just wait 8945034675490875349083759043754-9035749675409675489675468954768549675465479605476540-678540695467054967409675409675490674905670549 more seconds?

Nomorenerfs says: SWG is a lot like the Nicotrol System. With each patch, you're that much closer to quitting.
lol, that's better than my joke but true. The patches just get worse.

Hey Devs EXPLAIN TO ME why you can only do 3 missions for the melee unlock per REAL LIFE 24 hours????? You already made it long as hell to GET ANY THING DONE!! You have yet to fix the spawns in the dungeons and caves EXCEPT geno where you get trained by little children preoccupied with greifing people. Yes we are forced there for decent exp. So i waste 12k on buffs 11k on mind buffs dance/music then the 4+ k in travel expences travel 5 k to the town to ONLY DO 3 missions????
So your saying is that i need to go back to the port shuttle back to WHERE EVER TO FIND A DOC THAT IS NOT CHARGING 30k due to some bloated economy then get mins buffed then fly back to do 3 more tomarrow ?? YES PLEASE PISS ME OFF MORE!!! Then your lovely WELL informed CSR's will tell you that 1 fill out a ticket WHERE THEN YOU GET ANOTHER message.
/example of what your canned messagemeans to me

IMHO the least SOE can do for those on East Coast servers is toreset the server when the phase is suppose to change out (unscheduled maintenance)...rather than making us wait a full server cycle just to catch up with other servers. Just a thought.

Unfortunatley that would only be fair to those that have used phase one to the fullest, albeit the majority at this shift. If they shifted it manually at 21 days there would certainly be some players crying that the village wasnt open long enough because their server suffered unusually high downtimes. Granted most everyone is ready for phase 2 but I still saw players running missions when I turned in XP yesterday.

We are aware that you are anxious for it to switch over. We are too :-)
As Thunderheart put it:
"A Jedi should know patience..."
[edit]
A bit more info... the cycles are based on a specific number of seconds (1814400 to be precise) that is ticked off by system uptime.
The server resets the day after the cycle has ticked off. Again, the value can change based on village load. And the uptime can be affected by unexpected downtime (like maintenance, etc.).
So it really is approximately 3 weeks.
And it really will happen soon.

Now if only the devs could realize they have to make the missions themselves work in Phase 2.
Beware as phase 2 whip mission is bugged and there is a risk that can stop the possibility for you to finish that mission as a whole. Tests have been made but there has been no way around that.

Okay, I started phase 2 last night. I took a mission for Reflexes: Vehicular Control from Whip. He gave me a wp on Endor of 0,0. When I got to the smuggler's outpost, it moved somewhere about 2km away.
Igot to the wp, and finding nothing there, was given a system message that these were the last known coordinates of the downed supplies (or something of that nature)and that I shouldsearch the area. I see two downed ships on the overhead. I went to the nearest one, and found it guarded by Sith Thugs of some sort. I waded into battle, and got a message that my task was complete, and my quest journal had been updated. Okay, cool.
I killed and looted each of the thugs, and check out the second ship for fun, and find it surrounded by Sith bodies. Nothing to see here folks, so I headed back to Dathomir. Ride out to the Village. Talk to Whip. "Get out there and find those supplies!" he says. ??? So at this point, I figure there must have been something I was supposed to loot from the ship.A few tells later I find there was supposed to be a crate. I don't know if I didn't see it, or it wasn't there, but my WP sure as heck isn't there anymore.
I think I vaguely remember the first coordinate of it, so I'm off to running the -2600 meridian of Endor. I think I found the location based on the river and a piece of static content, but no ship. So I start spiraling outwards. Quite aways out, I find a ship on overhead, and another piece not to far away. Sounds familiar. No crates, no thugs, nothing. Then I find another piece about 500m from both ships, forming a triangular shape. This one has guards. I kill and loot them all, but still no crate. Can't select the ship to loot it. Check the other two ships, and they've despawned. Well, in any case the things don't hang around.
So now I'm left with an NPC that won't talk to me, no WP, no ship, and no supplies (and a gaping hole that I dumped airfare and playtime into). So what can I do? Can someone reset me on the mission? Drop a crate of supplies in my inventory? Spawn me a new WP?
Help.
