I participated in the June 10 PvE event in Bestine as much as I could. I noticed several things that you should be aware of:
1) Several "combat spam" messages had the "NO GRAMMAR FOUND" error message. The have scrolled out of my window, so I cannot get the exact text.
2). There was an Imperial Jedi wandering around in that fight (I was covert rebel). At one point in the fight, he killed me - but I never saw his name marked in red. A short time later I accidentally attacked him - again, his name was not red. I'm hoping that this was just the standard TEF problem (I did attack the Imperial Hands, at one point) - but I was spamming area specials in the battle, so I may have inadvertently attackde him.
3) Because of the sheer volume of combat that was going on, my 56k modem was lagging by as much as 5 minutes. There were several instances where I was standing next to something, and pounding on the attack keys, and it died before I ever went hostile against it. I finally got so frustrated, I started sending /tell commands to myself, just to see how bad the lag was.
3a) Clearing the combat queue apparently takes place after all of those messages are parsed - so, in my case when I was under the Krayt dragon, I saw my helth start to drain -- and I was dead 4 minutes later, just in time to see "you cannot total heal self while dead." In short, your combat queue is *NOT* working very well - when I hit that "clear" button, it should clear immediately, and when I hitan attack, it should go into the queue immediately. (Are the message prioirties the same in the code?)
3b) I have not been able to get the "clear" button on the combat queue to work in any event, even non-lagged events. Is is putting it's own command on the queue?
4) Total Heal All Other, when queued up in range of a fellow player ... will still fire and heal someone nearly 200m away when it finally triggers. Although that guy is probably happy that it worked 
.
.5) It is possible to get a 0 force cost sabre, which allows nearly infinite spamming of specials ... and zero Jedi XP. I am currently 1.2m Jedi XP in the hole, right now, after my deaths.
6) I was kicked out at one point during the PvE event, and getting back was awful - I would get the entire "connecting" bar full, and then would be thrown back to the player selection screen. I ultimately had to reboot my machine to be able to get back into the fight.
General comments:
7) As of the patch, today, Force Power regen is painfully slow. I have been typing this message in while my char was regenerating. I have +74 regen, but I am only getting about 5 force power back every 5 seconds. Rebuilding my 7200 point poll without Meditate is going to take 2 full hours, despite my +74 (4/0/0/4 Lightsabre, Master Force Healing, Master Force Defender).
8)Several of theForce Sensitive boxes are useless once you hit this Jedi level - for example, the Wilderness tree gives +Creature Harvesting ...but with no Novice Scout skill, that's pointless. Heightened Sense Healing and Surveying are also useless once you have to give up Novice Medic and Novice Artisan. Experimentation IV wass useful exactly five times (I crafted 5 sabres that will never break) - and will only be useful again is a better resource spawns some day.
9) No Force Healing powers are giving XP at all. Not getting XP for healing myself matches what happens with medics, but not getting XP when you heal others ... makes no sense. I realize that there are holes in the system with Meditate, Transfer and Drain, but this is overkill.
10) No Force Defense powers give XP. Admittedly, there are only 5 skills in this entire tree, but isn't it a bit insane to have an entire skill tree that cannot be master by using any of the powers found within that tree? I have to kill things with a sabre to be able to go up in Force Defense and/or Force Healing?
11) Dark Red crystals do not appear Red in the inventory. They go clear, just like the refined crystal packs do.

TC2 - Visited the Architect Vendor in Dragon's Call on Tatooine. None of the deeds had names ... but the examine window showed that some buildings were limited to being built on certain planets (assumed to be houses), and I found one with a maintenance rate of 34 (which is what I pay for my medium house on live).
1) Vendor Item names are broken
2) Jedi still cannot place structures - we still get the "You're a Jedi. You have no need to own structures!" message.

Jedi Exploit Testing
First Mission:
First mission i had the jedi log off and back on, only going to the character selection screen. I took her mission in Coronet and headed to Kaadara for a bio sig. After gaining the Bio Sig, I deployed an Arakyd, uploaded the Bio Sig, and launched. It reported that she was on Tatooine. This was correct. Did not investigate further.
Second Mission:
Grabbed mission on an offline Jedi. Grabbed Bio Sig and deployed Arakyd. Arakyd landed, uploaded Bio Sig, and launched it. Reported that the OFFLINE Jedi was on Tatooine as well. Did not investigate further.

I received in my starter package when I logged on after the last server wipe a bugged color crystal. I examined the crystal before training any of my conversion skills and the crystal said that it was light purple, and that the quality was poor (similar to how the damage crystals given in the starter kit say Quality: Poor in the exam window).
After I trained my skills I tuned the crystal, and to my surprise my color crystal had stats on it, but they were all bugged. Every single stat on the crystal was negative (except wound which was zero), even the minimum damage and maximum damage stats which would effectively lower the damage stats of your lightsaber.

here is my bug same as before.
i died on a huurton huntress mission. was out testing lightsaber exp range on the mobs. well with lightsaber dmg and specials messed up and the fact that my elite prof ate my ham up and got incapped. then db. ok no biggie i will clone take decay surrender some skills pick up novice medic and try again.
well after cloneing i go to my bind point, and after loading and appearing my char remained a corpse and did not revive. if you go in when i am logged in you will see emock corpse. i can not get up. i waited with no reclone message. my ham shows that i should be able to stand up but my name and body on exam shows corpse of emock.
i need a fix or i can not play until a rewipe.
i have logged off waited 20 min did a full scan with still same char laying on the floor show corpse of emock. i try to stand and i get message cannot stand while dead.
as i stated this is after accepting clone options after i died in combant.
it is 12:41 am central time as i checked.
i can't test this stuff out now kinda sucks. was wanting to go after some bounties this weekend.

Sorry for double post
Serious Bug - All scatter type hits are penetrating Jedi defenses.
A MBH using fastblast would hit me and do full damage every time, my animation would show a block.

Wooot, im having fun on TC2. Ok im a MBH on T2 and i have done many jedi bounty missions and with the help of many jedi, all the waypoints that i get are waypoints pointing out where a jedi loged in and where they loged out. I would like to thanjk the jedi who helped, and to thank the jedi that womped me good in the duels i did on corellia coronet. It was very fun.
But i have to wonder why the devs gave us icky weapons, they are poor and cant even hurt a fly. For me if you really want to get the feel of what is on live where everyone is, just give us master weapon smiths and all the other professions so we can get the proper equipment we have been usin all this time on live so you know what we have been really playing like. TC and TC2 are a great controled experiment, but once it hits live, all rules go out the window.
So please give us weapons like we have on live and not the weak nerfed junk you gave us.

I got DB'd by a Rebel Jedi as a covert Imperial MBHtoday, and I got the system message of:
You have been killed by kevin'. Your new player combat rating is 1188.
I think this is for the Jedi ranking system, but it is applying to me, and I have no FS skills or anything, I just created a MBH on TC2 to test the missions.
