Thread: Feedback: Jedi Bugs and Issues
Being obsessive, I HAVE read (or at least skimmed) 99% of these posts. 
So here's something new I think:
CLONING AT SHRINES
I got DB'd by a critter MOB on Dantooine, got a box with a list of "shrines" at which I could respawn (though at the top it said closest was Imp base, it wasn't listed which confuzzled me --if I had not selected anything would it have cloned me in the Imp base?). I checked the map, not being familiar with Dantooine, and chose the Shrine nearest my mission lairs. (-6173, 4120). I spawned there, stood up, screamed and died again. Some kind of nasty Voritor Lizardwas campingthe shrine. It moved 30 meters away and stayed there. Now my pool bar it said I was a corpse but I was able to 1) Mask scent (rec'd 66 Scout XP), 2) go prone, 3) crawl in circles but not move otherwise -stuck! Noticed my health pool was not regenning -mouseover stated "minus 78 of 789" health points. Standing and burst running seemed to unstick me andI got away from the Voritor, but my health pool did not regen even when I healed it with a 398 stim, which I probably wasted since a quickie relog seemed to fix to full health.
I'd really like to see these shrines be a "safe place" for a specified diameter, where no MOBs of any kind can attack while you get your bearings, otherwise BHs and other predators with a taste for force sensitive Jedi flesh will simply camp them and institute an new kind of permadeath. 
TRAVEL:
Tried to leave Dant on the Emerald City Shuttle but the Use button on the ticket machine did absolutely nothing, even after relogging. The friend I was with, however, WAS able to use it so bought my ticket for me and I was able to travel as usual when the shuttle arrived.
N00B DROID:
Logged out for a few hours, logged back in and found my old n00b droid had suddenly appeared in my datapad. Called it and it not only didNOT appear at my feet with its friendly and cheerful greeting, but it disappeared from my datapad altogether.
I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I attempted to keep up with this thread, but got lost somewhere around page 10.
I spent a few hours mapping through the skill trees and discovered the following:
1. Master Force Wielder provides +20 to Force Weaken Accuracy, and +30 to Force Weaken Accuracy
Is this intended? If so, why not just make it +50? Was one of these suppose to be something else other than Force Weaken? It looked like everything was covered except maybe increase to success on animal oriented powers? This may explain why Force Weaken seems overpowered.
2. Two Handed Lightsaber II does not provide any state attack while One Handed II provides (blind)and Double Bladed provides (stun).
reset the people like myself that got hosed on the skill choosing by the server reboot i have 0 skills and the trainers say im not even FS... I really want to help test
Still no crystal to test saber stuff with (Well actually I DID get 1 color crystal but the person handing them out had PRE-TUNED it to herself so it was USELESS)
Of force powers here are some things i have found.
Force run 1 has no effect other than the pretty (and very telling) blue streaks, I went no faster and terr. nego. was the same.
Force Run 2 works well unless you have recently burst ran then it not only doesn't work but it still uses the force power even tho it doesn't run.
Several of the offensive force powers seem to have little to no effect on lairs. This may not be a big issue for the lucky ones with a saber.
I know nobody will respond to this. But the biggest concern right now for me is the conversion of the current Jedi. There was a Jedi on the TC who was converted to TC2 & he had 17 boxes & 240k xp. When this was converted he ended up with 11 boxes & 240k xp. That's a loss of 6 boxes ! If this wasn't a bug then you guys will have a lot of angry customers once this goes live. This would also be the first game in history to strip skills & xp away from their players. Please clarify if this was intended & what we can expect come patch day in regards to our current skill boxes & xp.
A few Thoughts.
1. The enhancement line needs to be bolstered ALOT. Drain Force needs to drain a heck of a lot more then it is to make it worth it. Also drain force should not just drain it from your opponant but also add it to your force points.
2. Skill points need to be increased or Skill tree costs need to be lowered. The revamp currently seems like a mega nerf then an upgrade. We should haveenough skill points topurchase a minimum of 3 full master boxes.LS damage is extremely sad, we cant hurt lairs any more. We have to waste 24 skillpoints on useless force sensatiev skills that mostly dont even work anyway (ie force experimentation, force assembly).
3. Enhancer skills should also include sellf buffs or Increased Ham regeneration skills, as well as Resist Wounds.
4. With new system we are still tied to powergamers and afk macroers to get our crystals, and not only do we have one crystal componant requriement, we have2. We are now requried to have 1 COLOR and 1 stat crystal. The Color Crystal also has a decay rate. This is truly a failure on your part, as you stated quite clearly in one post that crafting ones saber would be more personal and exciting for the player. How is camping endlessly for more pearls and crystals more personal? We should be able to make the Color crystals as part of the saber crafting step by choosing a color for the refined crystal packs. Heck we should be able to craft our own damage crystals as well, and experiment with resources and stats. just like any weapon or armor. The current system is complete bunk.
5. The graphics are awesome though. The new saber moves are cool. On the whole i think we are on the right path but need some serious tweaking prior to going live.
Before I post my message, TEST!! I haven't been allowed to post on my account for some BUGGED reason.

.There are a couple of things I need to mention....
Found a bug/exploit with the stormtroopers. Dunno how big it is, seems to be morea pointof amusement. Got searched by a stormtrooper..and with my lightsaber in plain sight, pronounced me clean!
Then, aren't we supposed to just switch over to Jedi gradually instead of having to dump all our skill points at once? (if so, someone needs to check it out...still having to dump practically all 250 skill points wheneverI go to my trainer...and I have to do this every last time I log on! )
These are just minor details that have continued to slip my feeble brain over the weekend. (hey, I am 46, you know...)
Devs, good luck when you take this puppy down for maintenance today....
Tor'ka, TC2
2 more things. Sorry.
Are wookies going to be able to wear jedi robes?
Can there be a place like the enclaves where a jedi can pick their force enhancement crystal? The first one that goes into your saber. I think that you should have to do a quest for the jedi or something to be able to get it. But I would like to be able to choose my color of saber I want to have. More in the lines of Star Wars. This crystal should do nothing more then color if you get it from the enclaves.
