I urge you to read the GCW forum. There are an over abundance of problems you people have implemented with this patch.

Eliminating all the non-Jedi is just one of them.
Making us content for your Jedi is another one.
Saying that Jedi would only get FR from other Jedi and Bounty Hunters, and nobody else - and yet making it so they can get it from all non-Jedi is another one.
Twisting the knife in the Galactic Civil War is another one.
Jedi AFK-camping every dungeon and piece of content is another one.
Massive levels of KSing from them is another.
Nerfing Bounty Hunters instead of brining them up to par is another.
Still no Imperial Banner. (It's been over 4 mos since you said anything about it. I told you I was right.)

You know, I could go on and on (and on) about all the general issues you've dropped in our laps since this Publish. But with the lack of communication everyone has seen today, and the removal of posts and lockings of threads...it's obvious this is all "working as intended."

I pray SWG2 comes out sooner than it took EQ to receive a sequel. Because with the apparent catering and direction this game is heading, it will soon become a game that excluses everyone who isn't a Jedi.

TH, I hesitate to say anything about houses/structures going poof on us, people have been reporting this for ages, csr's tell us tough luck move on it was because we were to stupid to put maintence in the structure.

So how does one explain when a hall for me and my friend goes poof while im standing in the building 2 minutes after i put 70k into it ?

Why would I want to say anything when those of us that have reporting this in the past basically got called idiots by YOUR staff?

Id love for this to be taken care of, id love to have my hall back with everything in it as well but with the past treatment we've received on this issue I dont see either thing happening.

If a player completed some of the quests prior to the publish, then they cannot get all of the pieces of the reward (The 5 pieces of the hero’s sphere).

WHAT?!?!...5 pieces??

I completed all 4 quests and got an item for each..4 rewards total...then a ring..

There is a sphere?..You need 5 peices..not 4?

if you bring back jedi TEF it should be limited to cities and outposts.
without the extra exp we got for throw or things ings like that we need to do missions faster and sitting out in the nowhere waiting for the tef to wear out after the missions would be really bad. i am really for a tef in cities as many jedi like to pose around and i would love to tick those of with my saber (but i hide ) when i see them but there is no need for a tef while hunting in the nowhere.

My issues aren't specific to a place or server:

1.)Crystal tuning is far too random. Quality gems often come out worse than poor or fair gems. You need to put in a minimum based on the quality of the gem. So a quality would always have at least 15dmg, -.25 speed -4FC for example.

2.)Jedi Visibility-We're getting put on the BH terminals for seemingly no reason. I can fight on a planet that has nobody on it, yet I get on the terminals. At least give us an explanation of how your new Visibility system is working. With all the anti-Jedi BHers out there doing their best to make Jedi, especially low level Padawwans loose 200k exp over and over, we need to understand what's going on so we can actually avoid this. At least those of us who try to play our part and stay in the background.

3.)EXP penalty should be scaled to the level of the jedi. How about a system where the death peantly is 10000 exp for every point invested in a jedi skill? That would make things easier on the padawaans and still give a 250k or so exp penalty to Knights. A Padawaan who doesn't have many Lightsaber skills will take hours or days to get back a 200k exp debt. And with the young ones being the primary targets of the BHs, you'll only end up making people cancel their accounts this way.

4.)Saber default attacks are incredibly low damage wise. I use a 230 or so max damage lair and when using the default attack I typically only hit for 300-400 on a mob. Also our damage vs lairs with a lightsaber is incredibly low. I can use Polearmsaberhit3 on a lair and do 700-900dmg, but I can switch to VKs and use Unarmedhit2 and hit the lair for 900-1200 damage and I don't even have any of the TKA power tree!

5.)Jedi FSR exp is way out of whack. 19 or so exp for killing a ranked Dark Knight. 90-100 for killing an overt non-jedi. You've turned the few overts remaining in this game to grinding fodder for knights and most of them are fed up with it and are already going perma covert. You have to think of something else to give Knights FR exp.

Black Sun are not droping loot anymore. My friends and myself have killed about a thousand now and no go.
