i would like to know what is going on with the POI spawn rates, as i don't get up at stupid o'clock to goto a POI , is that a bug that they only spwn once per day, is it being looked into?

1. What is your ingame character name?
   
2. What Galaxy did you experience this issue on?
   
3. What Planet were you on when this happened?
   
4. What location (coordinates) were you at when you experienced this issue?
   
5. Please list a full description of the problem you experienced (Full details needed here folks!)
   
6. Reproducible Steps: This is very important in helping us isolate exactly where the problem is.

Not just 10.4 issues, but one appeared with P10ish

1) When going to the ticket terminal, all the cities are in the wrong location (the orange dots) they are all shifted up and right (NW!!) , means you have to use the drop down menu to get the place you want. this only applies to the planet you are on though. all other planets are fine, and when you shuttle to a new planet they are correct when looking at the terminal for the planet u just came from but now wrong for the planet you are now on ! - This appeared with P10 if memory serves

2) POI's - if they are active in your wp monitor, when you jump planet they will remain active (IE you can have NS stronghold wp on corellia!!) by going to the POI tab in the datapad sometimes deactivates them, but only it seems if there are enough POI's on the planet you are on for it to be 'overwritten'. It is annoying if you cannot deactivate it, as you have to either log out or jump back to that planet to deactivate . Yes the easy fix is deactivate before shuttling, but you always forget

3) Slow spawning - It would appear that the rate things spawn has slowed down - Eg on Lok, you can ride (vehicle), stop and wait 20 secs before a spawn of mobs round a lair will happen. (random spawns that is not mission spawns - haven't tried them). We are now walking or using mounts (back to the good old day's) !!!

4) Combat delays - you get a msg saying you have been knocked down, 10+ secs later you fall down - or if you hit stand you never see the fall down!

This is on the Starsider Server.

I can confirm that all of these are an issue on starsider, and are very frustrating, especially the MOBs. Its a real problem when you are out riding, trying to avoid too many hositles (I have a crafter with no combat) and then all of a sudden a bunch spawn right on you and kill you instantly. I can't count how many times that has happened, and asa result, that char won't go to dantooine for anything. They are riding a bantha mount too, so its not like they are wizzing thorugh and the game can't keep up.

The global map's names are so far off and clustered, I just use the drop-down menu now. I also see the same thing about the combat delays, and it again can be deadly. I have a TK toon also on starsider, and he has twice been at great health, and then all of a sudden drops to the ground dead. I have a fast internet connection, and the game doesn't freeze up, so I don't think it is just lag(?).

Just out of curiosity, are they calling P10.4 those two fixes, the jedi xp boost and the jedi terms?

reports are in that Tantel armor is persisting LS resists. Coupled with the PSGs that can do this as wellcompounds further imbalance.

Now while I really hope you guys fix the jedi visibility issues it wont matter at all if you dont fix the "target is offline" exploit about 90% of jedi on my server try to use. It has severely harmed the game to potentially game breaking lvls due to the fact that the exploiting jedi have been able to hunt the past few days or so without the worry of being hunted at all! I have seen many jedi who were mid/high lvl (round 190-200k) suddenly all get to knight lvl(225k) and suprise suprise, they are the ones who constantly abuse this bug and ones you cant get missions on.

This problem is compounded by the fact that the jedi who play by the rules and dont exploit get even MORE screwed over as all the BHs are taking their missions instead since they are the only ones that work. TANKS(BH correspondant) has made this his top issue and posted I think 3 days ago about it in the correspondant forum yet you guys still have not responded at all to the issue.

Furthermore(and this is the real kicker) this is a bug that was fixed over 3 months ago, yet came back with pub 10.3, which is really disheartening adn makes it seem like it was put back in on purpose due to the broken visibility system.

1. Mo'Ste, Rend
   
2. Tempest, Starsider
   
3. It is the same on every "starter world" (Corellia, Naboo, Tatooine)
   
4. All NPC Theaters
   
5. There are no Theater Managers from which to start the Entertainer "Quests"nor are there any posts from SOE officials about when Entertainers can expect their new "content" to be added (it was supposed to be in publish 10.2).There haven't even beenDeveloper replies tothe Feedback thread started nearly 2 weeks ago.
   
6. There aren't many steps to take other than going into a Theater and looking around for the Theater Manager. /shrug

I'll help you out on this one. Here is what happens they go to an unfriendly space port and they are perma overt. They logout and back in so that they can have some piece to get back to rather safe turf. I seenot just jedi do this, but all overts when they are not comfortable with the factional area they are in, your missions getting wacky, Sorry for your luck but it is hardly game breaking for a BH. Unfortunate yes.

umm that is fine and dandy for knights, what about every jedi that is not a knight yet but still doing this exploit so they can lvl without having to worry about BHs coming after them? Thanks try again.

1. Goldy Lhim


2. Kauri


3. naboo, corellia, tatooine


4. All NPC theaters


5. There are no Theater Managers from which to start the Entertainer "Quests"nor are there any posts from SOE officials about when Entertainers can expect their new "content" to be added (it was supposed to be in publish 10.2) last we heard.There haven't even beenDeveloper replies tothe Feedback thread started nearly 2 weeks ago.


6. Step 1: walk into the theater
   Step 2: look for Theater Manager
   Step 3: ummm there is no step 3 because there are no theather managers.

And please look at the feedback thread you started Tiggs. There are some definate issues with the dance we are questing for we'd like resolved as well as some minor issues with the quest itself people are having problems with.
