I am a master Doc and like others said, unable to heal myself/heal others, first aid, heal states, heal poison/disease. I can only buff, thats it.
Noticed some cities not showing on planet maps.
New mabari belts showing red in inventory.
Noticed an occaisional critter with name in white, but attackable.
Had a client crash today for first time in several months, was difficult to log back in. Happened to me while loading onto the Corvette.
And ofcourse the broken record skit: No visit from the Old Man. I suggest implementation of several villages, one per planet to control lag. Designate fairly equal number of players to each of the villages. I know this may take some time to implement, but a fix like this may be well received and may take a lot less time than culling the herd into different groups that may not get their visit for a long time. Just a suggestion.

Im naming this post of mine "Who/What/Where/When/Why the hell...?" 
- Who the hell..... asked for drop shadows behind names to be taken out? Bring them back please
- Who the hell..... asked for the /findfriend command? If my friends wanted me to know where they were they would send me a waypoint. Take this non-immersive useless waste of dev time out of the game.
- Why the hell..... do you claim that you fixed a UI problem where UI's would sometimes select the blank line underneath options when i just now saw this problem for the very first time since publish 10 came out?
- When the hell..... are you finally going to fix idle NPC's in cities taking over the place? Patch notes say it was fixed yet Mos Eisley is overrun with worthless background NPC's (not to mention that Mos Eisley on Lowca was overrun with Valarians so bad that you couldnt ride a vehicle into town, you hit a wall and were sent back 400m from the city, i had to walk to get inside and then i just crashed while getting on the shuttle.
- What the hell..... did you do to fix the client crash? Update notes say that you fixed one of the most common causes of client crashes yet I havent crashed this much since beta, and it all started with the Publish 10 code updates!
- When the hell..... are you really going to fix the client crashing?

I tried reading through as much of this thread as possible it seems people are pretty pissed at pub 10. I can't say I am or am not. as I haven't researched it very much. however on radiant server Mos Eisley is not showing up on the map. what is that nonsense... mos eisley is probably the most famous city in the starwars world. and it dosen't show up?
another thing is the incredible lag on tatooine in general. I flew into bestine and I kid you not there were 2 solid yellow boxes of dots. dots being Imperial strom troopers circling 2 areas where they interlocked... I mean not even a hole almost 2 by 2. I'm sure that has alot to do with the lag.
this is madness. I tried to take a screen shot but I doubt it'll ever make the "screen shot of the day" gotta keep SOE looking clean, fun and perfect. but for those of us covert rebels this is just pure insanity. there's a fine line between being accurate and being fun.
I'm just sitting waiting to see what happens in the next few days perhaps a whole publish reconstruct? this is madness.
also I've been trying to do the hero of tatooine quests particularly honor and courage and there are simply no spawns. pirates aren't spawning and I've flown around ALL DAY as well as the beastie for slaughter for courage... I've had people helping me as well and they haven't found spawns... is there something that can be done to maybe up the spawns A LITTLE bit. you figure you have a good hundred or so people on each server that wants these badges at the same time and when the trigger spawns only five times a day... well it makes for alot of unhappy customers... I understand wanting to make it fun and interesting.... but come on I spent almost a 24 hour period searching and circling and staring at the same land formations all DAY.
thanks for listening to your customers and doing your best to make everyone happy.

I could care less about all this force sensitive crap...but as a smuggler...I gotta say that having to pull everything out of the crates is very inconvenient.

Look he is one old man and he has lots of you to get round and lots of servers to cover too, have some paitience
although unlockers shld be a padawan now as it is seems kinda sucky towards them from my point of view
Yeah fine the devs **edit**ed up, the new patch is **edit** .... but short of cancelling your accounts (lets be honest sony anit gonna care it is a multi national company multi million dollar / pound / yen, compay) what can you actually do about it
**edit** me you didnt get your jedi on day one ??? you poor **edit** let me go get a silver tray and deliver it to you!!
in my view this whole publish is wrong
**edit** me they skipped back the combat balance so a load of jedi obseesed fan boys cld piss and moan about how they didnt get jedi first ......Thats what the devs did wrong !!

Second im a 9-10 unlocker...Played 'in the wilderness' 6 hours yesterday - he better show up for me today... or ill be typing in large colorful letters too!

the hermit quest is working!!!!!
so stop asking for changes because AFTERWARDS IT WILL ONLY BE BUGGED. at least with the hermit quest we know that there are random spawns, and that those are hard to find.
but half of our questions about the old man are not answered.
i have no really problem with buggs, or patches. but simply tell us what is going on, and what do we have to expect. somehow i am loosing all my trust in you devs. because it is so clear that you dont give us all the informations you can, nor all those we should deserve as paying customers.

Why a non-fighting character can't unlock the second slot?
I have all explorer badges, 3 theme park, final act of CoA and the theed trivial badge, but I'm only at the second level.
I play since 9 month, my character is actually Droid Engineer, Merchant, Architect. How can he earn more badges?
I don't want he becomes a different one by surrending craft skills to teach fighting skill. And I don't want he become force user.
But I need a second character because near all the game is made for fighting character, so my play is actually very limited (I have never approached warren, corvette or death watch bunker; recent content don't have any interest for characters like mine).
Why is second slot reserved to force user?
Do the devs wanted that the player who want a second character but no jedi, or a jedi only for the second, change their primary character to jedi padawan? Do they wanted more and more jedi?
PS: Please forgive my poor englih
