We are checking on the rods. Hef won't take your evidence until you have gotten all four pieces, and you need the rods part to get the last piece. So you haven't actually finished it yet.

Holo, so far your posts haven't stated anything about if it's bugged. My friends and I spent 7 hours there last night, each got the compassion badge, and after that could not "finish it". I don't want to give away spoilers, but can you verify if the "rods" are working? We spent the entire night, seriously Raph, 7 hours was not an exaggeration in the slightest (we died a "few" times) and it's very frustrating to spend that much time and hit a brick wall. Is it working? Is there not a brick wall and we just didn't figure something out? I have all three downloads, the encryption key, the rods (which don't seem to work, talked to researcher and tried the "bucket")
It is possible to complete the Warren. I and another person did it two nights ago. I just got the second badge (and faction points) from the Warren today from talking with Heff (since Heff was bugged before the hotfix). PM me if you need help with the reactor, I can at least tell you what I did.(I don't want to post any spoilers 
)
Oh, and Holo... does the encryption key have anything to do with the Warren quest(or is it for something elsein another place)? Heff didn't take that.....

What in the blazes are you kiddies crying about now? "Not playable?" Aww, can your character not kill things in one hit now? Are you actually taking damage? Did you get killed in a PvP?
Yeesh, it's quite playable, grow up kids.
Sounds like someone missed nap time at daycare and is grumpy now.
I started to post something ranting, then switched to write something sarcastic, now I've decided to just tell you Holo, should you read this, that the development team's method of communication is laughable. The reason why people are leaving this game in droves is because they think you (that's a collective "you") are not listening to them. And they have absolutely nothing to convince them otherwise. One correspondent reply in 4 months... you've got to be kidding.And even then, most of the replies were one liners that consisted of "Hmm yes that's a problem. What do you suggest?". You would have to be blind not to see that people are frustrated and frankly completely pissed with this game and your team. Please understand I waited for this game for 3.5 years. I have great hopes that in 2 years it will be a great game. But unless you (collective again) start listening AND talking to people, you're going to continue to get thrashed as a group that does not care a bit about their player base. How about a little PR damage control. Level with people. Would it hurt so bad to say 'we have not done a good job of communicating, we're sorry, and we promise it will improve'?
ok, that's my plea. for all the good it will do. oh, the warren? I'll let you know as soon as my character is fixed enough to go there...
Devs and Comrades,
Perhaps you can help me. I spent hours tooling around the Warren last night - it was highly amusing. However, I now have a problem. In my datapad I have 3 disks of encrypted information and 1 disk of evidence. In my inventory I have 4 spare core rods, an entry key, and a "special disk".
I am supposed to take the "Special Disk" to Captain Heff in Theed's Palace. I've tried talking with Heff, dropping it on Heff, dropping evidence / encrypted information on him -- all to no avail.
This is getting frustrating. Disk says give to Heff, but Heff says he has no time for me. What's the deal?
the game is broken, your constant changes to the core functionality of the game (the rules change every week) combined with your mindblowingly inept testing process and configuration management have ruined this game for me. Yeah, it's our fault we added so many objects to the game world despite your hacky attempts to nueter our ability to store items. What did you expect? At-sts being used to kill krayts. Again what did you expect? Knockdown being used to pin monsters down. What did you expect? Players can doa lot damage to each other, as this was some suprise to you, you made pvp a pillow throwing match.
warren? I could care less. I can't even play the game. You cut off my arms, legs, give me a cookie and ask if I'm happy.
so while I'm sure these issues are 'no longer your concern', I think you're going to find soon, that you're not going to have much feedbackfor the things you 'do care about'.
Ive been standing around this stupid corpse waiting on a letter to spawn for 2 hours now. When it finally spawns the other 2 guys standing waiting there too grab them before I can. Now I have to wait some.
Come on DEv's there must be an easierway to spawn the letters. Think before you program.

Just to let you know, you don't need the letter to get the second badge from the Warren. You only need the 4 pieces of evidence that you collect in the Warren. The letter only exists so people know what to with the evidence, and to help the story.
