1) Jedi damage (taken) - Stealth Nerf or Bug?
2) Where is the new Wookie Armor?

RACE TRACK: Fantastic addition! This is fun and actually works properly. Can't wait for the rest to go live --- A+
CHAT CHANNELS: You need to travel for these channels to show up the first time. Planet chat is nice and useful. Auction is quickly becoming a spamfest, it feels like I'm taking Theed and Coronet with me everywhere I go. Guildchat/Groupchat is NOT working on Eclipse now! Friends list, /tells and email were all down earlier but have come back --- B
And there seems to be widely reported instances of Saber Toughness no longer working. And the adhesive parts for loot kits still drop impossibly rare.

The loading screen (and I believe patch notes) say that the Auction tab is galaxy wide, but theauction tabthat was in my chat tabs was only for the planet I was on. A friend and I tested as he moved to another planet, and the channel was different.
Also, is there a way to speak in auction chat without having it in your main chat window? I keep my guild chat window out separate from the regular one and can speak in spatial to that chat with /gu, group chat is /gs. Is there one of these commands for the auction or planet chat tabs? If not, will there be in the future?

idea: Please make auction chat available only to merchants with a certain skill, like advertising I-IV (?). Anyone can watch it but only merchants can post in it, that way if someone wants something advertised they need merchant and someone whos watching can contact them via email/chat (if that gets back up n running)
This could really help limit the spammers cause its bad...
(sorry for large chat, want to get your attention instead of skimming over my message)

Chat channels are persisting a little too long.
I'm auto joining one I created a couple of weeks ago and despite leaving it and/ordeleting the room from the chat channels it's still coming back every time I zone or relog.
Just that one channel - it was a testing channel that only I was ever on. Other old channels that had multiple people on them didn't pop back up (yet).
Yeah, I've been working with the guys since this morning.
There were several issues:
- Chat in general had some technical issues which have since been cleared up.
- There is a group of older characters which for some reason, weren't getting the planet channel tabs. That has been fixed, but the issue is client side, so we'll be planning a client patch for that.
- I just heard from the guys that the Auction channel was functioning, I went in game and everything is working.
- There is an issue with Private channels and we should be including that in an upcoming update.

Is there someway that we can break down the race into divisions: landspeeder, av-21, foot, swoop, and speederbike? This would make it more fair since as it stands now, only those with AV-21's or Force Run 3 (I am guessing) can win it.

Others have asked about the changes to Jedi today, so I will not repeat those questions.
My feedback is two-fold:
1) Assuming that we will get the details on what changed, is it not fair for the Jedi to get another run at skill conversion?
2) Given that severity of the death penality, why weren't the changes to the Jedi profession announced? It's likely there were some very surprised and shocked Jedi looking at the cloning screen today.
Thanks, TH.

I'm one of those with the Planetary channels not working. But I also want to get rid of the auction channel. If I want to read constant merchant spam I would hang around Coronet or Theed. I don't need a Chat tab that doesn't go away with it constantly there thanks.

Server Farstar:
chat - all but spatial died and had to be fixed
Auction chat:
Bikering, arguments, people allready reporting being ripped off
Cant remove it properly 0 so anoying
Plant Chat:
Doesnt work at all
Medical healing - Every second now
CM - Not far enough, CM is still strong as ever, hardely affected them at all.
Swoop dismount warping even worse.
Buffs - If i exit the game all together just after buffing, then log back in, you still have the buffs, but not in the chat window.
Today my 3 hour buffs lasted 5 hours 23mins, and only left i think as i shuttled to a location.
Jedi reporting anomilies
Server LAG - every update it just gets that one step closer to death, lag is worse.

All my existing custom chat channels got renamed to 'Instant Messages' (I like to get my IM's on all my channels). Quite annoying...
