Lets discuss the BH ...nice that you fixed them being able to track Jedi with their droids....NOT so nice that you allow them to know a Jedi's name on the BH mission terminal...I wish to share just my views on this...besides the fact no where its noted that a BH actually said a Jedi's real name...they always referred to them as "Jedi"....the other reason that this is annoying is this....these BH see a Jedi on terminal...they add them to your lovely friends list that shows people even when they are ANON...nice feature there about as worthless as some other features...why do I even go ANON when someone can merely look in their friends list and see me highlighted in yellow as online?

I bet if Jedi got 150K for every BH that has messaged them..harrassed them thru tells...or with their many offers of money/bribery or still the favorite "Will you marry me askings"...Jedi could afford the Krayt pearls more readily being price gouged at 2.5-5 mill a piece.... truly its a shame you allow BH to be so intimate in knowing who exactly they are stalking and how unrealistic that they can just send tells...how would this have been realistic to the movies...oh here BH sends Jedi a "John Dear" letter and gets a response...rofl ...comon guys ANON needs to be fixed and Jedi real names removed from BH mission terminals it should just say a generic name "jedi" as far as I am concerned this whole thing should be thought upon a bit more- would much rather them not know whether they are tracking a padawan or a very skilled jedi, either way they could still fail and retain the mission to try again and again and again.

Let me also give you a case scenerio for a new jedi... Jedi logs in ...BH has had this Jedi mission for a day or so...stalking him...he waits though knowing the Jedi cannot possibly get doctor buffs, dancer/musician buffs on immediate entry....BH bides his time...tracks Jedi to his home or whereever he usually logs on and off at.....times it just right to where when the Jedi logs on he either can immediately kill them or trap them in their home and harrass them (this tactic was used by a guy once that tried to insist a female Jedi marry him or else btw)...is this the intended mechanic of the game? Seems to me only new Jedi that would ever survive would be ones that have another account to be able to buff BOT themselves or be forced only to hunt with others for the needed protection cause BH will undoubtedly try to attack a Jedi only when they are just logging on or in middle of combat....how truly sad indeed...no you do not want many Jedi running around rampid in game but neither do you wish them to be so easy to find or defenseless to even play.

As well then all you will have period is the players that got in at first as Jedi and played up all the exploits to get to Master and yes I have heard about all of this ...and those Jedi do not help the younger ones they have no desire to even play their Jedi over half the time much same as some new Jedi feel, which is very unapprentice like to say the least as well.

So what to do to fix it ....well thats the 50 dollar question but I can tell you what isn't helping as have stated fully above.

Only other things I have complaints ondeals with theconsent thing, squad leader ability to dump wounds on group members I still think that person should consent cause as a dancer I once had this happen was fooled into believing I was going to buff a group with a dancer mind buff then got dumped wounds on me which is NOT very kind or nice, and the consent list really needs to be more than 5 people long if possible...I do not mind consenting to get a rez but I do mind not giving my consent to get massive wounds and crappy doctor buffs from someone thats just starting doctor and doesnt realize that they are doing wrong by running around buffing anyone and everyone for xp...besides there are better ways to xp faster than that anyways So mainly I hate the fact that I can get unwanted doctor buffs and squad leader wounds without my express consent.

Thank you for your time and patience in reading this all

Hails,

I completely concur with your post. I belong to a ghost guild, and live in a ghost town, who recruited me for the soul purpose of advancing their town level. I now have so many items, paintings, statues, etc, in my home that moving to a more active guild, ("if there is one") would be a monumental time consuming task. How the developers planned to encourage team play by only rewarding only one person with the items at the back of any cave, and forcing theme parks to be done individually is beyond me. Your post was well said, kuddos

Hails,

I became a TK master to finally have fun doing themeparks and exploring points of interest. Two days ago, I cleaned out the Blue Leaf Temple on Yavin4 to see what rewards there were to offer. While I was fighting, a novice some thing or other flew by and cleaned them out. No reward. Yesterday, I cleaned out the Bark Mite Caves on Talus, same thing, somebody flew by and cleaned out the skeletons. I cleaned out the Weapons Depot, (Overt), only to find the elevator doesn't work. I still cannot finish the Emperors Themepark, because the broadcaster will not quit attacking me and take the disk. I submitted a bug ticket. No response. I single handedly took out Erin Sif and crew on Talus yesterday, no rewards but crap. I cleaned out the bio testing facility on Talus, zip, zilch, zero rewards. Ive made it to the third door in the geo labs three times with a key card in hand found in the lockers, but because of your insane respawn rate, and only one person in a group reaping the rewards, no ones out to help others. As a TK master, Id hoped to get better imp missions. I got three imps to group with me on dant, including an AT ST, and a dark storm trooper, the mission paid a whoppin 88 faction points when I did it alone, compared to the 64 faction points I recieve for doing solo imp missions on Naboo. I didn't get 52 badges by holo grinding. Im here to have fun, and explore the far reachs of the galaxy. But even I would like to find more than 1 lousy unit of meat, and not be robbed by players to lazy to fight, in the back of caves and other points of interest. I'm a 32 year old father of three whos been gaming for 25 years, so I would ask you not to dismiss my opinions as the griping and complaining of some spoiled child. I have played and conquered them all. But your game needs serious help.

Why do my crafting tool sessions keep ending early? It might run fine for a session or 2 but then it closes, I am using 4 new crafting tools, not running a macro. All I know is I am losing resources and not gaining xp, any help is appreciated. Thx

TH,

Would it be possible for us to get some sort of time estimate on the fixing of Base Vulnerability times, it is an extreme game breaker on the Bria server. Any information about this and many other fixes such as the z-axis, poisoning/diseasing through walls, CM not receiving the proper 75% PvP reduction.

Thanks,
