aside from the above posts, i've noticed a couple of bugs:


shortly after restocking a vendor i left the building my vendors were in, and started recieving spams in the form of a system message. can't quote the msg verbatim, but it was along the lines of, "you are no longer within range of your vendor: 'vendor name', closing interface now". the msg would repeat about twice per second. i tried shuttling, but i still got the message, although it was slightly different. the only way to make the message stop was to enter the building where my vendors were.


another bug i noticed was that when i bought a travel ticket, it counted as two items in my inventory instead of one. (no, i didn't get roundtrip tickets lol)


on a side note, a friend of mine unlocked during publish 9 and is unable to create his jedi. if i read everything accurately, he should've been able to create the jedi or a new character.

To everyone that unlocked, I do feel that you guys did get the shaft, but to everyone else who just prepared by doing the badges, grow up and wait like the rest of us.







Exactly!

Thanks also for hearing my pleas about the cloning window's autoselect bug. That's cost me on 2 different occasions.



I think this bug really does need to be addressed. If you're in a group and die, sometimes you need to talk to your group on a timely basis...and if you hit Enter to talk right as the window pops up, boom you are auto-cloned--without picking an option. Why not just reverse cloning windows and shuttle ticket selection windows...with shuttles, you cannot board unless you pick a ticket even if you only have one ticket. It'd be great if cloning were that way...


But about the publish. It seems that with each new publish, more and more disappointment posts are showing up on the forums. As a subscriber since release, I have noticed the turnover rate seems to be on the increase, and a lot of the veterans I knew back in fall are long gone...I think that says something. Please address some of your customer concerns...fix the bugs...and avoid adding more and more restrictions with each publish. Do Ubese shirts really need to be subject to decay now? Do players with overfull inventories really need to get frozen? How about not letting them unequip armor/clothes that would cause them to have overfull inventories? Or if they are about to get quest items that would take up too much space, give a system message saying they cannot get the rewards until they have cleared X number of spaces?


This /findfriend command...I don't know. I'm having my doubts about it. If people want to find their friends, they can just send a /tell and ask, it's not really that hard. And now that you've put in something that directly links people's friends lists like that, what's next? I'm willing to bet the next such related change is going to be bad.


I'm going to talk about the future now. Not space expansion, but beyond that...combat balance. Please take into account what people want for that. I don't think everyone wants buffs and armor super nerfed, especially given how hard themeparks like the Corvette and DWB are--for groups, not soloists. If you nerf our protection, you really must make the AI enemies easier. No more 350k HAM NPCs that do 5000 damage a hit.





I have a bad feeling about this nerf

Awesome job, I love the patch. But wandering Dathomir tonight, I only seen 10 nightsister, the city/cave was empty, no spawns anywhere of pretty much any mobs.

I know a few people who have unlocked between publish 9 and 10 and yet have yet to see the old man even though they've been logged on for half the day. I was under the impression that they'd be getting a visit pretty much imediately.






I think people who have unlocked should automatically get the jedi char, instead of having to wait for the silly old man. I mean by all accounts they unlocked, so just give it to them and end their wait and suffering.

this update is the coolest ive seen ever in all the games ive played this one definatelytakes the cake...its even worse than the Half-Life: Counter-Strike 1.5 - 1.6 [Steam] integration...which imho is one of the worst updates ever. NJ maybe you and Valve should get together and do a game. I'm sure it'd be great until you start updating it.

If you have a shred of respect left for your paying customers, REMOVE THE AURILLA GATE.

You promised us new Jedi content far all who could meet the FS requirement, but it turns out it's only new content for the grinders.

This is just not fair. How did you ever think that you could get away with this travesty? Remove the gate or face hundreds more cancelled accounts.







Sony, you're doing fine... Looks like this patch is a little rocky and I guess I don't get my jedi today but I can wait a few more days... heck, it's been over a month already since I unlocked.

Be strong and let Sony management know that for every whiner there are many more that understand the difficulty of managing live systems. For those people who believe that the gates should be removed, ignore them. They were never promised anything and keeping them out of the quest system initially is important to allow those who actually "unlocked" and those who put in the time grinding out professions. Those people were well aware of the system and how to get jedi long ago and chose not to follow that path... They just can't handle the result. Again, they'll get over it. If not, you can look forward to another big influx of revenue with JTL, you can afford to lose a few of the "louder" ones. And honestly, we'd all be better for it...






How dare you even imply that grinding leeches are more deserving than I, a veteran player who has contributed to this game as opposed to an AFK grinding spammer.


Yes I was promised. SOE said they were moving away from grinding, that the new system would be something else, another way. Yet the way they've set it up means that grinders will be the only ones in there for months! It will be over a year before the first non-grinder Jedi even appears if any of us feel like bothering! People like you disgust me, licking the developers boots and never making them face the problems they are causing.


You're what's wrong with this game.








I'm one of those grinders... 31 professions + 4 re-mastered, 104 badges, 35 million credits(earned), I've contributed to the game with my alt characters one being a doctor, the other being a merchant/architect. Whether you like it or not, I do deserve it more than you because I did what was required. I can see you don't really care about the fact that the requirements for making jedi have been there for a long time... and now you feel like they should just change for you... You're not just the problem with this game, you and your type of "entitlement" generation just hate reality. Life is going to be very tough for you because it's full of reality... The point in time you realize the world doesn't revolve around you is going to be very hard on you.

Good luck with your campaign...





You fail to see the point of this publish, to stop the holo grind and make unlocking a more content based experience, and the requirements were that when you glow you get acces to the village, with theese requirements you are as worthy as anyone else who glows wether you like it a not, holo grinders get a huge headstart with unlocking branches wich sounds fair to me, since this doesnt affect the requirements to get new content for other players, but reality is that if you didnt holo grind you are screwed, if you played the game like you wanted to, do theme parks, the corvette dwb, pvp alot guild hunt etc etc. you are less "worthy" than another person who glows but spend a week afk doing entertainer, and alot of other proff they didnt want to but were forced to do.


Life is going to be very tough for you because it's full of reality... The point in time you realize the world doesn't revolve around you is going to be very hard on you.

i fail to see your point with this comment, noone feels the world evolves around them, but me seeing guildy's who have done 24 proff not getting a visit or anyone else who have looked forward to this publish and prepared to "glow" getting it up the ass on the day of the publish is upsetting, just cus you did 31 proff and feel that you are in a sweetspot and therefore feel entitled to look down on ppl who actually took time to do what they wanted to do to enjoy the game and not spend months on working on stuff that they didnt want to and therefore just waited for a new way of unlocking is ignorant as hell, but you beeing in your "sweetspot" and not having symphaty for hundreds of ppl who felt they got proper **edit**ed today is a ignorant attitude, and if anyone feels the wolrd evovlves around them, it is ignorant people.




Any news on the realise of wow btw ?

Ok I have read plenty of post on the baords and there are two questions I still have:


1. For the people, like me, who did not grind every profession, how are we to guess what we need to work towrds Jedi?

I have POI badges but I only surge. I have not completed the first Holocron yet. If I complete the holocron will i get a clue on what else i need to do?


2. Where is my second character slot at for my galaxy? This was promised from day one and when Pub 10 was annouced early this year it was one of the items I was looking forward to getting.
