That's because they DIDN'T fix the email bug. Try this. Launch game. Shuttle. Send new email. Voila, 2 emails created.
You've always been able to radial a waypoint and attach it to email.

I thought that these changes were really just going to be a change or two per class. But I thought this was the best update so far. The reason being is the change in NPC fighting. To me the fighting of the NPC's was very boring and drawn out. Now we have the pleasure of watching different fighting styles, including a little jedi styles, and we have much more of a challenge. We have to watch out for certain things, be prepared for a stat effect, and we get to watch the animations and weapons and styles of NPCs. This was a great move. You made the game much more interesting to me...this deffinately improved the fighting.

HEHE, fighting humanoids is like pvp without the 75% reduction 
While it's fun that even a tusken warlord can be a challenge to a mid-level combat profession.....
the corvette is impossible

Sorry, but I think PvE combat now sucks badly!
walking out of my house on logging into the game and being wasted by a pack of huurtons or wandering mokks ain't my idea of fun.
Neither is it fun when I turn up DEAD in the cloning centre, my comp armour is now degraded beyond use after having to clone TWICE!
I'll be taking a break from this game for a while I think

K are you all happy now, i enjoyed a interesting fight against a few npc's last night which involved me using lots of my lesser used abilities and liked the variation of abilities the npc's were throwing at me, of course they couldnt land any states on me thx to my doc friend who was helping me out.

Really. Really, Really nice changes.....
I love seeing Jantas and Mokks useing Staffs, Knives....Hell one even KD/Dizzy'd me
Ive not got to try a NightSisiter yet but, I heard there fun now...
You've done a good job and on the right track...DONT GO OVERBOARD
Most of us dont like to group all the time...So, remember when tweeking these NPCs...We've got DWB & Vette for groups and some high lvl MOB caves....Dont go overboard and take the high end Solo out of the game....
Funny tho...I dont notice a NPC useing its HAM when it uses a Special...Could be a oversite on your part

I did some Missions on Lok and found a new Bug.
Since this last patch everytime I manage to "LowBlow" a Droideka it stays a pile of broken junk and doesn't resample to normale appearance. It walks towards me as a huge area of debris. If it tries to run away from me by rolling, it resamples again just to fall apart when I finally kill it. This is new. I killed those Droideka before 9.25 and it didn't happen.

Three questions....
1) Will NPCs ever be patched so they only use the right Specials for the weapon they are currently using?
2) Will the bug where NPC's bypass armour get fixed? (Could this be the multi HAM targeting bug you guys fixed for players during the Jedi revamp?).
3) When will Harvesters get there animation and sound effects back?
P.s Great patch

Great fix giving NPCs their specials back! *thumbs up*
Now reduce buffs by 50% and it's fine.

Things I Love:
First of all, the wook armor is great. The hunting armor is by far the most customizable armor in the game, perhaps the most customizable wearable in the game. Hooray! I never thought so much work would go into the art for that.
I do really enjoy the increased difficulty in combat due to npcs getting special attacks. I had forgotten how hard Nightsisters were supposed to be. Keeps me on my toes and the game is less of a grind.
Things that fell short:
The Black mountain armor is rather useless though. I've sold 5 sets as merely display items. It is in every way inferior to the other armor. As much as I like all the armor, it would be nice of each armor had its own strengths and weaknesses. I really wish the BM armor had a special resist that wasn't kinetic. Maybe blast or energy. Something to make it useful.
The crafting quests seem a little pointless. I did the hardest artisan quest the guy offered and it took me 150 units of hide and about 5 minutes to do. I got 50 exp points and 100 credits. In the time it took me to do that, I could have done two artisan terminal missions, made 3k credits, and gotten about 200 crafting xp all without having to purchase or find resources. Until these new npc crafting quests are made to be more rewarding than other available crafting quests, they seem to be rather useless.
While I celebrate the increased difficulty of npcs, I worry that some npcs are going to be simply undoable. i haven't made it to the corvette or DWB since the patch so I'm just guessing here, but if a Janta that couldn't even scratch me before now can kill me in 10 seconds if I do not watch it like a hawk... I have the feeling a SBD would cut me in half and scoop out my insides. If the DWB took a group of 15-20 before, how is it players are expected to go through increased difficulty with still a 20 person cap on group size?
