This is just something I have noticed, and is a little annoying. Is there anyway to make doctor buffs stay with the character when they log? Take for example EQ, if you got a KEI (you EQ players know what I am talking about) before you logged, it would be there when you logged back on instead of vanishing.

I think it is just a matter of adjusting the buff timer to stop when the character logs off, but that is for the devs to figure out. It just is very annoying to pay 6-9k for a full set of buffs before bedtime, logging and losing them all. 8/

Just an idea.

just wondering why is it that the bloodfin server and only the bloodfin server takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to come up every morning alot of us i bloodfin have been asking this question for a very long time answer plz?

Since this post is ridiculously large, I don't have time to read it all, and search seems to be wacked... Anyway, as a new player one of the most frustrating things has been buying things that I can't wear. I've bought numerous items from vendors and the bazaar only to find that I either can't wear them (wrong race) or they replace another item of clothing (same clothing slot) Why isn't this information listed with the rest of the item info, or am I just missing some option to show it? (I was really hoping I could wear that robe over the chest armor lol)

Secondly, what is the point of even having an auction option in the bazaar when the price is capped at 3k? I tried to bid on an item where the last bid was 3k, and the bazaar automatically incremented by bid over 3k, and then promptly gave me an error when i tried to place it. Shouldn't the auction have ended once the maximum price was reached?

I just have one question at this time TH.

Is SOE ever going to bring in the third faction, and if so, when?

It is my feeling that Bounty Hunters should not be able to join either faction, Rebs or Imps. When you train Novice Bounty Hunter your faction should auto set to neutral, and you should not be able to declare for either faction. It was my understanding that the criminal or Hutt faction was going to be an option, where is it?

Here's a question for you. Are the problems with jedi not having any defense against knockdown going to be addressed or the fact taht when they are out in the middle of knowhere how they end up on bounty terminals without being seen. im pretty sure i read some place that unless you were seen by someone of opposite faction you would not be put on the terminals, yet numerous people have been put on those terminals without ever being seen by another player using there force powers.

and one other question i have about jedi. why is it that teh jedi are put on the terminals pryer to getting to the knight tree anyway. atleast at that point the imperial/rebel players can make there choice to be a dark jedi or a jedi knight. and then you would not have people hunting there own.

Not a DE myself. Just a general comment on the ridiculous parallel relationship the DEVS seemed to have assigned to the DE/DH issue. If everything utilized in this game had such a relationship it would extend to all professions. i.e. - To wear 'high-level' Tailored clothes you have to be a Clothes Handler (model perhaps... lol) or to use food products maybe you have to master the Edible Products Handler profession... or maybe a new profession for buying any/all bazaar items from Artisans.... say the Generic Item Handler profession (shoppaholic... )... anyway, just saying that the comparison of BE-CH is absurd.... droids are not creatures even if they have some of the same abilities/qualities... a certification system of some kind makes the most sense .......

You know what I would like to see? I would like to see POI spawn mission terms. I walk by some spawn and see what look like terms in the camp site but they dont work...lol I would like to see those work to give out misison for that given faction. So if I come accross a Hutt encampment spawn I could take mission from it gain faction point for their faction. I really think this would add a lot to the game and also help some of us correct out faction standings.

Sorry folks but its going to be tomorrow morning. The draft is done, but JustG and Blair want to review it again before we post it.

As I have said before, please stop promising dates, you keep missing them and it only makes me more angry. Really, please learn to estimate the time required better, because I wasn't mad about Vehicles and player cities not being in launch. I wasn't mad about a lot of the silly bugs that have occured. I know enough about the software industry to understand that stuff like that can be unaviodable.

But to miss starting threads in the In Concept Forum by almost a week and to be a day and 1/2 late with the "uber" post, to me is inexcusable.

Dancers are still waiting for a response on our "top 5" over a month after other professions have theirs. I think it's safe to say they need a lot of work on their communication.
