Thread: Live Issues Publish 9: Secrets of the Force PT II
NOT because Ben pulled his saber, though, they got attacked and chased because of the droids, and then because they blasted out of a starport.... If you read the books.

That's what Jedi should be experiencing any time they use their powers or pull their lightsaber in public.

Issue 2: The berserker rifle cannot be crafted at the moment due to the missing serial on the stabilization component. (I am wondering why this is not in the list since it was also reported at least a week ago by the WS correspondent)

We’re looking at the TEF’s portion of this issue and expect Combat Medics to be changed soon.I’ll post the proposed changes In Development as soon as I have the information.

Do you really think Stormtroopers should take kindly to the sheer number of weapons that are openly displayed in a starport on a regular basis, not to mention the fighting that goes on in them? All by non-Jedi.
Remember who we are dealing with in the DEV's. Be careful what you ask for, they will gladly nerf everyone and everything.
damn right. reassess the hell out of it. remove lightsaber resists from psgs. increase the protection on robes... but PUT BACK THE LIGHTSABER TEF.
you've created a situation now where a jedi can realistically obtain a decent chunk of XP towards knight in a single day. the XP loss associated with death is a joke, and is nowhere near a deterrant. either put the lightsaber tef back in the game, and force jedi to fight in seclusion, or remove jedi bounties and remove XP loss, because it will be a lost cause and only a source of grief.
i mean at least before the sides could police each other... now nothing can be done.
First off, thankyou Thunderheart ofr the post, please do it more often, popp in the hermit quest thread and answer to the people in there please.
Here are using you post comments that should help information wise.

Publish 9: Live Issues Follow Up
Vehicles/ Droids accessible from Toolbar: This was an erroneous message that should not have been in the update notes just yet. This has been removed for the time being, but it will be available in publish 10 or sooner.Issue closed.
Fair enough, slap on the wrist for that guy
Badges: Clarification: There is no separate tab on the Character Sheet. Character badges are now located on the "personal" tab of the character sheet in the middle box instead of the examine window.
Its not very neat but i thought it to be an ok layout
Weapon and Armor Switching/Combat Cue: This is currently not appearing in the combat cue.We are working to see how difficult this is to add it to the cue.When that is known, we’ll know how to prioritize it.I know many of you don’t like it, but the delay is going to stay for the time being.I have asked the devs to look for alternative solutions.
There is a delay when not in combat, so a real pain in the ass.
Aslo, While ona mount or swoop say you can equip with no delay
Junk Dealers and Loot Kits: We are looking to increase the frequency and types of mobs that drop the loot lit items soon.
the junk dealer chat is a real head scratcher doesnt really make sense, needs re-wording
0/0 Items: For the most part, this is not an issue.If an item is appearing as 0/0, its condition is correct, except in the case of Ubese shirts.If you have any specific examples, please post them in this thread.There was some discussion of brand new items being 0/0, but we have no in house examples and could not reproduce it in QA.If you have any information, please post it.
Armour belts also have no damage and appearRED. Also pulling out a shield genfrom a crate and it appeared RED. logging corrected this though.
It could be an issue of 0 and null in the code somehwere, the new feature needs to distiguish between the two, should be asimple fix for the coders.
Personal Shield Generators: There are reports on the forums about being resistant to lightsabers.This is incorrect.If you find information to the contrary, please post it.
IF you pull them out of a cratethe do have resist to LS, and if slcied increased value. This are crafted before publish. And they do seem to work as well.
Logging losses the resist.
Jedi - Multiple Death and XP: There are reports of confusion with Jedi experience loss on multiple deaths. If you have information on how to reproduce this problem, please post it here in this thread.
The XP loss for jedi of 200k is very harsh for lower level Jedi, it should reflect there level
12) Jedi Robes not providing enough protection
I have seen known Jedi go round PVPing with normal profesions so they can wear their armour. Resistance was promissed and should be included.
Its level of resist should vary on craft and what level jedi you are
when we can put this back the way it was, we will.
Smuglers really seem to have a hard time of it, with Nerfs, revamp delays, bugs.
We’ve got some hard data and we’re looking forward to making some changes to improve this soon.
Its been getting worse since the "hardware upgrade" there wasa period of really smotth gameplay, then some hotfixes and since its just got worse.
Also to note that now and again at the imperial outpost and smuglers outpost the starport shuttle goes throught the baording platform onto the ground.
This happens on lok and dath as well
It was changed to accommodate the Jedi TEF Changes.
People have found a way to log off and log back on covertsince publish
More regular people are traveling and appearing overt when covert
Can you change the way you view people form a distance. you hover your mouse over and you get there rebel or imp sign so youyou pause for a sec thinking overt?
Its nice that jedi haveno teff at early levels, its good that they can hunt withought being attacked bypeople. Yet having htme wander around citis isnt in keeping, The solution would be to adapt thecovert scannerswithen cities so that jedi using force skills in these locations would obtaina teff, or in certain cities get an instant teff so theywill avod these all together, sayin pure imperial cities.

Just needs for a temp issue the damage reduction
structures disappearing
This is an important issue.I’ve received a bunch of reports but there is no data on this side.If you are still seeing this, please let me know.
This is hapening, no warning and hosues/exractors just vanish, i myslef lost a cemical extractor.
Houses, people transfer houses to someone to recreate their character (this is done as its a pain to empty a large house say and find locations to store items) and the with their new house transfer back. These then vanish possible as a result of items belonging to a dead character deleting.
27) Vehicle exitwarping was terrible yesterday, so was server boundary warping.
There are a few warping issues:
Swooping and jumping back 200m to cover the same ditance over and over
Dismounting and flying back as much as 600m away now.
Creatures about to die warping 500+m away, even in the air too.
28) Broken Hermit Quest
Reported Problems:
Ok to have these issues, but the biggest is the spawning 90% of peole can spend all day looking for any of them without any luck, talks of the spanws walking off could mean they could be cliped in house, ont he edge of the map, and near impossible to find, and therefore not re-spawning ina sencible location because they are not found. the need to stay put and more frequant
- If a player completed some of the quests prior to the publish, then they cannot get all of the pieces of the reward (The 5 pieces of the hero’s sphere).
- Pirate Leader not “conversing”
Very bad, even if you 200m away fro a group member it could say out of range. Players name change to planets, multiple displays of the same name, pets change to player names
Also a note the NEAREST mission arrow doesnt show up much since publish 9 and if it does can show nearest mission to be 2k away when in fact its 500m away, this is showing the wrong mission
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=FarStar_Euro&message.id=65857
Clipping withen the game is very bad of late.
Players:
Everyone that has issues take screenshots and put them on lcoations liek imagedump. The when you report an issue note you have an image, post links to them in the threads and in csr tickets, then if they cannot recreate the issue they will know for a fact that it exists.

well,
one of the best changes for jedis in publish 9 was the removing of the TEF for PvE jedis.
most other changes were kinda reductions in powers and even cutting there total skill boxes lower from 3 masters to 2,5.
in new system the high jedis who wish to pvp get at knight perma overt!!! is that not enough?
a normal jedi TEF should definatelyNOT coming back, its just a possebility for griefers who hunt jedi for their own fun and satisfaction. period
IF someone hates jedi so much (sadly many do and i dunno why actually / jedis are way more star warsy then all that overpowered mellees or CMs) then he/she should just pick BH skills and get missions to hunt jedi. for that we got the BH systeam with visebility and all that. period
if some idiots play their jedis with saber and robes and duels in starports then they get visebility!!! aka BH missions on them, that solves the problem or at least should.
so i see really no reason for a normal jedi TEF. it only destroys the fun for low lvl jedi and gives just griefing an open field.
short said:
low lvl jedi no TEF (as it is)
high lvl jedi perma overt (as it is)
all jedi get visebilty when using force things inside cities, aka they go on the terminals (as it is)
so where is the problem?
TH pls dont listen to whiners and dont change (revamp/nerf) forth and back, thats definately hurts alot SWG.
-----------------
other real problem:
i had moved factories from talus to dantooine and it were 5 total, all had same maintain in it (like 80 days)
after i set them down i lost some days later 2 of them due to "no maintainance in it" aka the rotted.
i sent a ticket and that sorry for the word "silly' CSRs responded just they can help in things like that. (no surprise to me tho)
BUT its notacceptable. in fact i am sure that factories lost while redeed process their maintanance in them. i got no other possible explanation. this happened on intrepid server.
Good point, except for the fact that droids STILL dont work. Now we also have the issue of jedis that dont have a bounty tef when we do find them. So chance of finding jedi = super slim. Chance of fighting jedi = non existant.
After 6 months one would hope this would get fixed. Maybe the complaining will stop when these missions actually work.
(BTW did everyone know people are still haveing bh mission problems after 1 year?) shouldnt that be on the list. A key element of a class getting xp does not work properly after 1 year...invisible, hidden, unattackable marks..wow.

I have seen the exact scene in the exact same cantina in Eisley - jedi cuts down a few people. No, the cantina did not jump said jedi, since no one wanted to die, but a couple minutes later a squad came in and killed the jedi. A TEF does not mean everyone will jump you, it just means that you will have to be more careful.
Spoken truly like someone who does not play a jedi. Of course the Jedi didnt get attacked in the cantina. AFK Dancers don't usually attack people.
A visit to a cantina for me went somethinglike this, while TEF's were in:
Sit down.
Bounty hunter charges in and attacks.
Use either saber to defend or force powers to get away.
Get attacked by no less than 20 people, die in seconds.

The current delay is quite an annoyance.
