I don't know where to post this, but hopefully it will be read in the middle of the posted issues.
THANK YOU.
Amazing patch, went live smooth and fast, conversion worked flawlessly.
I was so scared but I was prepared thanks to the TC2 training sessions.
Amoung the problem with the first tool of Jedi, the lightsaber, I want to throw big Kudos !
The Crystal drop rate is amazing, the time that people needed to pay million for pearl is really coming to an end.
It get rid of the decay issues, it get rid of the Jedi needed to be millionair.
It does not overpowered us, and we don t get frustrated for hunting weeks without getting anything.
I start to get the big picture, not getting the downtime to hunt for good pearl, I accept the harder grind and not having the force throw trick anymore. In the end it is balancing things.
I guess it hasn t been easy, but at least it is there.
And I m going on vacation with a big smile, knowing everything went OK today and that I will be able to go on for the best !
It is time for me to recover from the grind, I hope you will have some time to recover from your work too.
On a side note, I want to tell Jedi that are going on a bersek demonstration on spaceport to be carefull...
You will get fast xp penalty if you get killed by BHs...

After reading this thread it seems that the main issues are
A: Vendors
B: Items with no ratings showing up as "red"
C: No Paintings
The one I noticed myself is Vendors(and the painting thing, which is coming out tomorrow)
Server Corbantis
Location Corellia
Profession: Commando, TKA
With this big of a publish, there is not really a lot of bugs in it. May find more later.
Just a suggestion, Jedi are easily discernable in the movies(they wear robes and lighsabers), they should be easily attackable in the game as well.
thanks
Llew

Issue:
1) When I try to eqip my armor (Ubese or Composite), It tells me slot is already occupied - when its not. But then after getting that error a few times it finnally lets me wear it.
2) Calling vehicle from toolbar - Doesnt work! Nice try though.
3) I can still see peoples badges in the /examine window. Once again - Nice try.
4) No painting - Dont announce it if it ain't gonna be there.
Server: Starsider
Planet: Naboo
Location (x,y): Someplace outside Theed - Like i know...
Your profession: Master Dancer
Instructionson how to recreate the bug: Get some armor, and put it on? Put a vehicle in a toolbar and call it?

I don't know if was designed this way on purpose or not but......
I was spamming warcry for my medic friend and had to drink brandy and eat canape. My food and drink meters did not move 1 block for 30+ minutes. when I stopped they seem to move as normal.
I've never done this before so maybe it is designed that way and I never noticed.
Thanks

That's cause there is not much in this pub for the majority of players.. And the few things we did get, were screw'd up!

Could someone please (politely) explain the Dev logic behind this one? I just can't think of any good reasons for it.

Basically, this has been implemented because of people like mesk on Bloodfin. I am sure there are more people out there like him. however he would run around with 6 or 7 different NS lances all with varrying DOT's. So in the course of about three seconds he would land upwards of 9 different DOT's Flame/Disease/Poison. He hasno lance under a 500 tick. So basically, he was able to kill anyone in only a few seconds. They wanted to limit persons like that effectiveness by limiting their ability to instantaneously switch weapons and apply a DOT.

I holo'ed BH, I thought about staying with it, but with the latest nerf, I'm dropping it to move on to the next thing...whatever that may be.
Thank you Devs for fooking BH...once again. Can you name one thing you have done for the BH in SWG rather than against them?
This is what happens when you have a bunch of people who are not cognizant of the Star Wars Universe making the decisions as to what is appropriate content for the game. Consultants only work if you take their advice, and I can only surmise that you have either ignored them, or never actually implemented the use of consultants.
You guys keep going for asthetics instead of troubleshooting core components of the game. Something tells me that the problem is too big to solve, otherwise, you would have done it by now.
According to JustG, a BH revamp is in the works...we have heard this before, and we are tired of it. Accounts are dropping like flies, and if you don't do something soon, you may find yourself consolidating servers because there will be too few on each server to justify their use.
So get off yer latte drinkin arses, and come up with a publish that will enhance the gameplay...listen to your customers, before you have too few to draw a paycheck off of.
Wanna know why this is posted here? Because it is the only thread your eyes will be on for the next few days. The others have been ignored already for far too long..
MatrixOnline is coming...did you know that? I hear the distant rumble of...
Here's a constructive idea...why don't you take into consideration polls, forums, customer complaints. Put all the data together, and find the most common denominator? I understand you are not going to make everybody happy...that isimpossible...but you nerf all of PvE, and PvP because of Pikeman and their lance abilities? Cmon guys, you know that is not an answer!

some guy wrote...
blah blah blah ... it takes more then 6 hours to complete the ranger tree.

the original question was how can you do the camping tree in 6 hours, NOT the entire profession in 6 hours

I also recall a message on the planet loading screen saying that prior to launch the devs were collecting data, feedback, and adding "polish" prior to launch...was that another way of saying " after we have fooked the publish, let's go on a company picnic?"
What was said about sliced weapons is a good point...Lightsabers would attract the attention of the empire...If they were allowed to walk and talk in normal circles, the empire would just crush them. Jedi are generally reclusive to the public, not allowed to marry, and must accept their role, and their calling...the devs have managed to turn them into the Catholic priests of Star Wars. Elite group of people who were openly unabashed, and now hated by everyone for their reign of folly.
God devs...pick up the star wars trilogy and watch it will ya? Get an idea of what this stuff is all about.

Oh what a tangled web you nerf...
I wonder if anyone on the SOE development team stops to consider job security in a future tense. I run a business over here in the real world and if I was to totally ignore my customers and then hand them a product they didn't order, I wouldn't have those customers for very long. If my customers asked for a change in product and I told them that i didn't have time to do it; i would lose that customer. And if my customers order a certain product and I order something completely different and tell them that I "felt" this is what they really needed; I would never see that customer again.
Now; I'm sure your all sitting in your little grey cubicles, smelling of old coffee and nerd, biting your nails and waiting for the endless string of rants to start pouring in. Do you want to know how to prevent this? Listen to your customers.
Now that that is outta the way.

A jedi is unable to train any normal skills after the conversion is finished because of a bug that makes every trainer your personal trainer.
Whatever trainer you choose to go to it will only train you jedi skills.
This cannot possibly be on purpouse but if that is the case then you should have stated that very clearly before the revamp took place.
