One issue that I noticed is that when you remove an item from a crate the creator of the item is now listed as the person who removed it from the crate rather than the actual creator. This also happens when you split a factory crate. The portion that was split off also has the creator listed as the person who split the crate. This will be a problem for crafters because people who buy something that we made will not be able to contact us if they want more of that item.

when shuttling from one place to the other my lightsaber becomes highlighted in red. It is not 0/0 condition and the pearls inside it are not 0/0 condition. Once i equip it and unequip it again it is normal. Please check into this so that it does not become unuseable.

More notes from playing
Bug 1: Armor Protection. My 70%+ kinetic armor was not doing any good against anything.I ended up with over 300 BF in about an hour. I could have just been running around without armor and saved myself the encumberance penalties.
Bug 2. Mobs able to hit and shoot through hills and cave walls; however, we have the "You can't see your target message".
These are the only other two I found, in addition to the ones I posted on Page 14.

Recreate: Put on some very expensive armor and go into melee range.
Thanks

My issues:
Equiping/unequiping armor takes too long...
Switching weapons in combat isnt possible the same way as before.. (This one is BAD BAD BAD)
With the new patch I just say welcome to the next Jedi Knight game.. New stuff for jedis and making many things worse for everyone else.
Does SOE want everyone to become jedi?? Do they want every jedi to run around showing off their saber?? Do they want jedis running everywhere??? This is not the Star Wars world that I like
If jedis keep getting so much attention while the rest of us have to suffer, im soon out of here. I know the proclaimer sais they can change the game whenever they want, but never thought they would change it to a whole new jedi game... Well Im still a happy player, but I hope the non-jedis still are able to stay around... But im not sure if thats gonna happen.

Many combat professions rely on weapon switching to be competitive. I am not talking about switching to stack 10 DOTs on someone or something I am talking about some weapons are better at a distance and others up close, The hybrid professions are really hurt by this change since that is the basis for that class (BH is best example)

/halfagree We do need to get rid of the weapon delays asap, because they are the worst thing to hit this game since the massive decaying from cloning 7 months ago. However, DOT effects should stay as is...to reduce that you would be reducing the effectiveness of several professions. All the Devs have to do it make the weapon delay specific to jedi and problem solved.

Please remove the armour and weapon equip delays!
Absolutely the worst idea I have seen yet in any online game!
"Hey, someones using a lot of DOT's on people!.. I know, we'll fix that by ADDING horrendous delays to normal combat!"
Sounds pretty incredible doesn't it?!!
I'll make a suggestion.. in PVP do not allow anyone to be 'subject' to more than One (1) DOT effect at a time that reduces red, green, or blue!
Please, please, please, You must take a moment and look at this as a game breaking decision and remove it immediately!
I really really, don't want to see more throngs of players quitting! This is just horrid!
Thanks

Issues I have with this patch:
1. Too many visible Jedi ruining the continuity of the game. Is this going to change? Probably not as it is a great marketing tool for SOE. DEVs dont waste your time on developing a quest for Jedi. Unlock jedi for everyone. This will give you time to fix smuggler, BH, carbine, squad leader, and all the other broken professions. Put back in light saber TEF and if they display their tag automatic TEF for anyone who see it. According to the literature most people in the galaxy blame Jedi for the downfall of the old republic. There is a lot of anomosity out there now with Jedi stealing all the kills and just being every where. Make Jedi significantly less powerful than the other master combat classes. Only allow Jedi knights to be powerful but on an equal basis to master level combatants for the sake of playabiltiy and balance. We should not be competing with them in these dungeons. We should be slaughtering them according to the time line of the game.
2. Weapon delay is obviously a game breaker for many. Just like shuttle waits are. I have no problem with the armor delay. Makes sense as putting on body armor in RL and then strapping on equipment takes awhile. Remove weapon delay. Find another solution for Jedi exploiting. Remove shuttle waits too while you are at it.
3. Where are the components for the new junk dealer schematics? i have killed hundreds of NPCs and nothing. get rid of the old imp and rebel discs and increase the spawn rate of these new items.
4. I am still warping when I get off my bike.
5. Where are the goodies for us veterans who have been in this game since it went live? We are your advocates. Reward us and we will help you by trying to add more people to the game and by convincing our friends to stay.
My fun meter was pegged right before the Corvette. The Genosian Labs are great and I commend you on that dungeon. That was the perfect level of difficulty for non casual players.
Thisgame should not cater to power gamers. The Corvette and Bunker are just not fun. The super battle droids are unrealistic, the deaths on the Vette are far too excessive, and loot drop rates are ridiculously low. i hear more people getting bunker loot from NPCs outside the bunker than within.
After this patch my fun meter is at 50%. I am a huge star wars fan. Especially the timeline we are suppose to be in. I think Lucas Arts needs to break out the leash as you have strayed too far.

I've never complained about a patch item before, hope this is the right place.
This is about the armor delay. Don't laugh, but this is a big issue with me, and may be so with many of the female players. I hate it that there is a delay when I use my macro to put my armor on.
Why?
1. Because armor is ugly and I hate walking around in it. I only wear it when I need to (usually after I'm buffed and ready to go hunting, or when I need the protection). My macro allows me to go from my stylish (thank you) dress (one piece) or pink top and shorts (2 pieces) or trendy camo pants and top (2 pieces) to 8 pieces of ugly composite armor instantly. Of course I feel like the michelin man, but hey, its protection, and I like waiting until the last minute to pop it on.
2. With the delay there is a moment ofappearing there in my generic underwear. When you replace a dress (1 piece) with armor (8 pieces) and there isa delay,I'm either in the stark white panties or bra top, or if I start with the bicep, both. I won't say this is a sexual harassment issue, because the poor lads have the same issue. Do I have to find a swg phonebooth to change in aka superman?
Fix this back please.

If my inventory has 59/60 items in it, I can not take a item out of a create.
Also every once in a while after shuttling or logging my lightsaber(on my toolbar) will be in a red box.
I can have armor on and lighsaber equiped, but I cannot use specials and lightsaber damage is less then 1/100th of normal damage.(Just making sure that you know its possible to have lightsaber equiped and armor on and yes I know we are not suspose to be able to do this.)
I was pretty disapointed that all 15 or so of my twin force crystals had poor quality and yet 2 had better stats then my some of my pearls that were quality. I cannot remember if my robes was on or not for the tuning of the crystals and pearls.
Duel 2 times w/ friends and was on the terminals fast. Also after killing the person with my mission it is still on the terminals. Mad a friend get the mission and killed him, and it was still on the terms. He got the mission one more time and I killed him one more time and the mission was still on teh terminals. Seems like visablity is higher. Which doesnt both me too much, but we need to make sure that if fighting in a group does not cause visablity.
My conversion process went flawless.
I am pleased with the changes.
