change buffs so that they are a multiplier of the base value like dancing and musician mind enhancements and not just a set value like they are currently

Do the revamp before everything else or I go back to playing anchry online which does everything better excpet the social aspects. Nobody talks in game out loud only privetly but at this point in time your game is so flawed its sad. Or maybe I will hit the everquest2 band wagon? If SOE really cared about this franchise I would think they would give you the man power. But SOE knows that star wars sells even if the game sucks. Makes me think of big industry record lables... People TH and the crew here can do nothing SOE has put them in noose and gives only whats needed for its survial. Tell SOE to give this game more man power! And my next stop is to write the corprate head of there flawed buniess concept and manegement of the franchise. Franlky ifthey are luke warm I would rather them be cold then luke warm.

FIRST POST AND LAST POST
1. Fix the bug were Poison DOT weapons still work even after the weapon fails to repair at 1/1 condition or at least remove -1 usages from all current and future drops of DOT weapons.
Imagine having a server, where there is a knife that has 1000 Poison Action Strenth, 1000s Duration, 300% Potentcy, and -1 Uses. Would you beleive me if I told you it was a legedary weapon that acutally dropped, I forgot what server, thank god its not my server, but imagine if the weapon was on your server, guess who would own all the krayts, and thats what this guy and his friends did basically. The used the weapon regardless after it was broken.
COPY PASTE and ask the devs to implement this ASAP.
-----------------
AN EXAMPLE FROM THE VALCYN SERVER:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Valcyn&message.id=121957&page=1
It's time something wasdone about this. It is turning people on Valcyn away from SWG.
- Just after 'legendary' and 'ancient' weapons were introduced to the game, someone in the SOGA PA (now AGOS) looted a CDEF carbine that had about 70,000 charges of a mind poison that does 1800 damage per tick. I doubt this was intended - nothing like it has been seen on any server since.
- Carbineers have area-effect specials,making the poisonarea-effect. The poison cannot be cured by the strongest possible doctor cure pack. It takes at least two charges of 602-strength C cures per person, so there isn't enough time to cure more than one target before it ticks.And that's only if you get hit once -- it's impossible to cure fast enough because it is spammed with each shot:
You have sustained more poison!
You have sustained more poison!
You have sustained more poison!
You have sustained more poison!
- The gun had condition like any other weapon. When the condition got low they repaired it, and the repair failed with the message "the item falls apart" and it went to 1/1 condition like any broken item. But due to a loophole in the system,a failed repair only affects the gun's base damage, not its charges of poison. So the failed repair didn't affect it.
So we have a player on the server with 65,000 charges of area-effect 1800-per-tick uncurable mind poison on a gun that should never have been available, whichwas supposedly destroyed in the repair process but is still usable. He uses it in factionalPvP as an "I win" button. He uses it to help kill Dark Jedi Guardians.
The presence of this impossible gun is a massive negative to GCW balance on this server. I see it as an exploit because he is using a loophole to continue using a weapon at full effectiveness when it had the message "the item falls apart". He refuses to delete it -- which would be the honourable course of action -- and takes joy in making his opponents' lives a misery by using this item against them.
Please take action to remove it from the game. I'm sure you didn't intend for this to be in the game in the first place.

I have a better idea'r, DONT remove this Carbine from the game, just make it a BHMaster Only weapon... :-))

Balance Saber Block so attacker accuracy, weapon type, number of attackers, state effects, and being KD'd matter.

Make the "peace" command work or put in some kind of "yield" so the PC or NPC may take credits or just show compassion in a fight, OR keep fighting.

What about battlefields? Or static bases that each faction could fight to keep under their control? There would have to be some sort of reward to give us a reason but i think that would be fun.

Change Burstrun to work like Forcerun and drains heavily on Action and Health. Remove timer.

Fix terrain Line Of Sight in the game, and make ranged weapons a bit more powerful to compensate the change.
