Could a post explaining Force skill mods be created? I finally got to the village, got Crafting Experimentation branch and Vehicle Control branch and I can tell no difference...no macros...nothing.

Heck, i'm not a dev and can answer that.....

They're all passive enhancers to the skills. there are no macro's or anything to get. However, if you go craft a bit, you should notice it's a little easier to get amazing successes... Dunno what the vehicle control really gets you.

You've highlighted a broader issue. Neither you, nor I, nor the Devs (!) appear to know what all of the various skill mods do.

"Luck +1"? (Of course, I have no idea what "Luck" is... so my "documentation" in this post purely hypothetical.) Saying "It makes you more lucky" is not documentation. Saying "Luck: An attribute that affects experimentation by X% per roll, combat to-hit by Y% per roll, combat damage by Z% per roll, experimentation probability by W% and has a range of 0-100, with a starting base of 0" would be, because depending on the valuues of X, Y, Z, and W, a player could make an informed decision as to whether "Luck +1" was worth getting over something that's better-understood like "Melee Defense +5".

"Force Vehicle Control" is another good example of an utterly undocumented "skill". Maybe it'll be good for JTL. Maybe it'll be like Armor Attachments for skills that existed in beta, were deleted in Live, and have no effect whatsoever on current gameplay... but the attachments keep dropping.

I commend the devs for taking a look at the overall quality/polish issues in the game (fixing typos is a good fix.) If I spend $100M to develop a game over four years, I can bloody well afford to ask a technical writer to look at the dialog trees for 30 seconds.

And I sincerely hope that "improved cluster stability" is a euphemism for last night's Mongolian Cluster Pfark of red swoopers in Mos Eisley, and the... situation... with vehicles, pets, and droids. Otherwise, tonight's gonna be comedy gold again.

Items I Noted Last Night:

1. Red Agro NPC's not always attacking

Situation: camp of swoopers random spawn in wilderness, all red agro, my faction with Swoop is only 355, none attacked me when i was standing in the middle of them poking them in the ribs. I attack one, the others just watched, one actually pointed an laughed. This could be due to the server lag issues, but not sure.

2. SUPER SPAWN of Yellow agro NPC's. Between 0 and 1500m of the City hall of NON-player cities, you will find a super spawn of NPC's, all with the same name.

Situation: was traveling from theed to my house 2500m away, after going over the hill to the east of theed, there where 50 plainsfolk (the forgetful chick) and 5 philosophers (the snooty one) all spawned in the same 10m location. EXACT same name, EXACT same model, all doing random animations, some of the plainsfolk where sitting there watching the others dance, etc... After killing 1 or 2 of them, more spawned in the same location within 20-30 seconds of the corpse decaying (either by loot or time). I would have tested this sooner, but the premature server restart for Tarquinas stopped it, so i headed to my house.

3. Unable to "carry" power

Situation: A guildmate of mine spent 3 hours and god knows how many trips trying to put power in his 3 factories, he would pickup the material from his house, drive out to the factory, and as soon as he clicked on the factory, his power would disappear from his inventory. He then would drive back to his house, where it would then magically appear in his inventory upon entering the house he had it stored in. Again, this could be due to server lag.

4. Albeit the message for ticket use is better then nothing, but when i have been standing in one spot for over 2 minutes, I am still unable to do that in my current state, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, should I type /stand or /wave first so that the server registers my "STOPPED" location?

Thats it so far, pub 10 glowy, no oldman in 2 days of wilderness travel, but... I hope to get visited tonight.

Please for the love of god someone answer me. Last night somebody killed my sith spawn before I could get there. I have been up all night waiting for a respawn.

My first CSR ticket was closed with no response, and my 2nd ticket is now like 8 hours old and no response.

Maybe this is not important to you but come on, all I need is a couple dang words telling me your working on it , or that I am SOL.

Its not asking to much.

Only Asota and Kasota survived the NGE, and just barely! But YaSota was born into the fury!

How about giving us a way to turn off the /findFriend "feature"?

I had to delete dozens of people I know (but don't necessarily trust) from my list on the off chance that one of them would sell my location to a BH. The "friends" list is now useless to me and many others.

Hey TH, how about comment that its day 3 and I still did not get a visit from the old man. I'm a post9 unlocker and was glowing. Really would like to know if its worth my time to log in for hours to do nothing but look at clouds (since I can't go to dungeons or ride a speeder what else do I do)

Why can't you ride your speeder or go do a dungeon? You may as well go do some fun stuff. When you go back to get healed, maybe the old man will be waiting for you.

On Test Center, the first group of Sith for me spawned inside a building and were unattackable. I got a second group not too long later so I don't think you're out of luck. More Sith will come...
