Given that Jedi are not allowed to be neutral, they should receive a TEF for any use of the force or activating a light saber for the reason mentioned above.

6:30 :: Problem with Auction listings


With the new commodity server “back-end”, there was an issue with listing resource items and being able to identify the resource information.


Resource containers placed on the bazaar prior to Tuesday’s Publish (#9) will be fixed on Friday July, 2nd. Any items placed on the bazaar between Tuesday’s Publish and Friday morning can never be automatically fixed. They will have to be un-listed and then re-listed by the auction owner.


Vendor/ Bazaar Resources Display: The name fields for resources on the bazaar no longer include the amount of the resource or the name. We are working on a fix and it will most likely be in a Thursday’s hotfix.








Is it Friday July, 2nd already?


And this isn't just resources, it affects anything with quantities, like crates andstimpacks/food.










This did not happen.


The problem persists.


When can we expect this newly introduced bug to be squashed...this newly introduced bug that was, as I understand it, reported on TC but nothing, again, was done to prevent it from migrating to the live servers?


How often do you guys at SOE need to make the same mistake before you learn from it?







The loading message now says that they created a fix, but it's risky/unstable.They have decided to wait until Tuesday to take it live because they don't want to jeopardize people's playing time over the extended weekend. Understandable, but weak.


I don't know how they do software development at SOE, but I do server development IRL and I just don't see this kind of thing happening. If users that have bought my company's software are having server-related problems, then we fix the problems as soon as possible...if that means staying late at night or working through a weekend, so be it. That this was reported on TC only exacerbates the problem. Admittedly, this issue is not critical... but it's very very annoying. If someone on my team left a problem like this in our server software for a week without trying as hard as possible to fix it,then within minutes of strolling into the officeon Tuesday morning, they'd be strolling back out with their personal belongings.

TH, PLEASE do something about the force regen/robes! The lack of regen makes any jedi who took any skills other than light saber screwed (can't kill things with the saber...and the animals i can kill with powers don't give jack for exp, 20+ min regen kills the fun in the game....).


You told us this would make jedi more diversified, as of right now, only LS specialists can compete in any sense of the word.

I understand the frustration, believe me. But, as a dancer, when reading his response, after being virtually ignored for a good part of the last 8 months, it's nice to finally see not only an acknowledgement that we exist, but some very positive news. Yay for new songs and dances!! Certainly, Jedi, which this entire publish and most of the development is about, should have no reason to be complaining about lack of attention.

PROBLEMS, well we all have them, theres loads, lol:



SERVER FARSTAR:


Hermit Quest: the mission starting sparns like pirates, famer bounty hunter are not appearing, mentioned this in the quest section, told csr to try it them selfs .


Is the idea of the hermit quest to swoop, walk, stand around for hours, or do we actually get to do something?

"We added new songs and dances as a reward for the quest. These new songs and dances can be acquired by Entertainers as well, but you will have to be an Elite Profession Dancer or Musician to use them. These new songs and dances needed some pretty intensive programming support. That programming work is going right now. The Entertainer Quests will be published to live sometime during Publish 10."

Oh my goodness, this is fabulous news! Rejoice! /cheer Thunderheart!

I see a lot of people saying they should make it so Jedi tef all the time, and so we can't enter a city and stuff, well why would people work to be Jedi then?



What people are saying is that you shouldn't be able to have light sabre fights in the middle of town with no consequences.


Also jedi are kill stealing high end mobs off of people because they can do more damage more quickly and know they can't be touched

Issue: In group or out of group the group indicators that show up beside the characters name when in a group no longer show for me. Happened after publish so was wondering if this is an option maybe that got turned off by default? I can't find it anywhere in Options and everyone I have talked to has no clue about any type of option and that it isn't showing for them either. This is really helpful when joining entertainer groups to see who has leader and what-not.

Group member's name disappear or change to match a pet's name when members go out of range of sight. Doesn't effect all of the group members, just 1 at a time usually.


Jedi visibility STILL is going up from grouped players watching me fight. Very disconcerning since the only thing i was interested in this patch was the ability to FINALLY actually "play" my jedi, instead of just grind him all by myself off in no man's land of endor. Till then it' sback to being a lonely hermit off in the middle of no where.


Jedi'force wielder' powersare all worthless (take too much force, don't do enough damage/benefit).

Jedi Defender still seems like a useless discipline to me, i'd say get rid of it, and spread some of those defenses throughout every other discipline.


Force enhancer too powerful for pvp... self res, running speed buff, force armor, force regen boosters, force resists, and state resists. maybe some other disciplines should get something worth a crap too?


Lots of jedi griefing going on, now that our exp can go negative. Multiple bounty hunters taking the same mission then ganging up on the offending Jedi, one after another, corpse camping, and all other kinds of grief shenanigans is going on. Put it to an end please.


BH droids STILL don't work properly after months of doing absolutely nothing to try to fix them. Not really related to pub 9, other than the fact that theres 100s of jedi running around and BH are futile in their attempt to stop it.

That is great news. New songs and dances will make a lot of people happy, way better than the previous reward for this.
