I may have missed it in the notes, but it seems that there has been an undocumented change in the critter AI. Very well done. Lots of ranged attacks. Critters are moving in and out of combat now instead of just charging in until they all die at my feet. I actually got killed by a nest of anglers last night on Yavin.

Keep up the improvements.

This whole thing has created something of an irony here. There are 2 issues that people WANTED by a large margin and were taken away.

1. Vehicle Repair --- I understand it is ridiculous BUT IT WAS DESIRED. No vehicle repairs. It's no that difficult to come up with a different money sink for a developer.

2. Fast buffing --- I would need some popcorn and have to start smoking again to listen to anything remotely sane about this "fix". If the purpose of this "fix" is to keep people from jumping right back into a fight, why PvP? Why would it even be included? This was actually one of the most USEFUL tools for PvP and it was taken away.

So how is it that this issue got addressed, but a CM didn't get a nerf? How would this have been addressed but a Rifleman is still pumping Jawa Shots to the ole bean at a rate of 1 per sec. How is this little issue addressed when THE DANCERS AND MUSICIANS WERE DOING IT THEMSELVES, it isn't like this is something done by "outside" influence. It was actually a smart way for a dancer or musician...THAT GOT THEIR OCCUPATION TRASHED BY THE HOLOCRONS!!!...to make some money faster than they were previously able to.

There is some seriously flawed logic being used to make decisions in this game. I posted once that a year from now when all the whiners had left, I would still be here fighting the Rebellion.

Now I wonder if anyone can burn me a copy of Lineage 2.

I've been using traps from hotkeys since I started playing.

Since patch 8, they no longer throw from hotkeys, they no longer throw from inventory.

They will not throw them from a boat, they will not throw them at a goat. They do not like green eggs and ham; they do not like them, Sam I Am.

If this is not resolved soon, I will use my SP in a better fashion than scout.

Wow, messed that up.

I cannot throw them from a boat, I cannot throw them...

Oh nevermind.

And as a Rebel that totally got creamed bya Nova Trooper in Kor Vella after getting popped overt by a scan... BRING THEM BACK. What are you people thinking?!

Now I was against all the Novas in Mos Espa and well...i still am, there were WAY to many of them. It didnt make since that some kind of storm trooper that no one had even heard of now replaced every normal ST in the entire area (with very few ecxeptions, like some in patrols OUTSIDE of the city and what not here and there...) but to remove them completely is a little stupid too, Nova should exist they should just be more rare, like they still spawn in Espa just not replace EVERY trooper in the city. I could understand a couple elite troopers that would even spawn after a certain number of normal ST were killed, infact that is an awsome idea. If when a certain count of ST were killed in a certain area a small group of the novas would be deployed in the area (much like the patrols found wondering around) so that some rebel FP farmer is cutting down his crop and then he get whacked by a small strike team of better stormies showing that they wont stand for that kind of crap for long. Because with no novas it is a little to easy to farm, and then with too many it is impossible, so having the novas as an 'the empire is pissed at you' type of fallback plan I think would rock!...but maybe thats just me?...

The development team made many gameplay changes as listed. Please post your opinions, comments and feedback.

Gameplay

• 
  
• Reduced the wait time on shuttle ports to 5 minutes (Starports are still 10 minutes).
  

This has probablt already been said but I aint looking through umpteen pages. TH the5 minutes to the shuttle ports was good but shuttle ports were not the main hold up. Its the starports. Thats where everyone was wanting and needing the time changes to be. Get the devs to listen and change the starports to 5 minute or less wait time.

Since the new publish, Speederbike Swoops take a lot longer to stop...where they used to stop fairly quickly, now they go at least another 500-1000 feet...This wasn't happening before the publish.

Thanks....

Traps must now be stored in the very top layer of your inventory. I don't know why.

It hurts! MOMMYDADDY, make it stop!
