I'M SORRY IF I'M NOT BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH FOR YOU but since the CU came out we've been screwed over time and time again. I can make no progrees because of this bug. Our server is currently in the middle of a 4x xp week and I cant take advantage of it!

I'm just waiting on my 2nd old man myself, so I'm being held back too.. AND I'm on Bloodfin.



  • They COULD have just given us double xp instead of quad xp despite the multiple downtimes.

  • They COULD have just given you quad xp until the 9th like us, instead of the 12th like you're getting.

  • They COULD have declined to give you guys lost skill boxes back just like al the other servers.

  • They COULD have left the Mellichae quest unmodified instead of making progress towards rebalancing it.

Being screwed over time and time again? Hardly. The CU has been a big adjustment, and certainly it has major issues in its current form, but nobody can deny they have making a lot of fixes since it came out to ameliorate those problems. If your particular issue doesn't get fixed soon enough for your personal liking, all you can do is suck it up and deal with it.


There are only so many hours in a day and only so many devs to work on all these issues. It will happen as soon as it will happen. You are working towards a Jedi. Yoda wouldn't touch you with a ten foot magnastaff at this point. "I cannot teach him, the boy has no patience..." Try living up to what you aspire to.

It is still an improvement over how it was when he was level 120+...

To paraphrase: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BE A LITTLE PATIENT, THEY'VE BEEN PATCHING ISSUES LIKE CRAZY SINCE LAST THURSDAY AND THIS ONE WILL UNDOUBTABLY BE FIXED SOON IN DUE COURSE!!!

Jeez it's like the world will come to an end if you don't have your cake RIGHT THE HELL NOW. It won't...






I think people are pissed because they've waited for their cake 18 weeks....


I started the grind well before Pub. 10, unlocked just after Pub 10. and have taken a lot more than 18 weeks. Despite all that, I am more than willing to demonstrate the required patience to allow the Devs to fix this. The hotfixes this week have had as many changes as some major publishes so they aren't sitting on their hands...





yes yes yes...you are pacient...yes yes yes...I am pacient.

not everynoe has that skill it is quite rare so it is good to be apathetic to a person's situation.

Earlier in the day I a huge group attacking the crystals, I think this was the problem. I had many failed attempts with a bugged crystal always being the end result. So me and a mate (I was Master Rifleman + CM, he was Master Swords + CM) went to take a look and check the crystals again later. I done the crystals 2 green then 2 red and low and behold they destoyed with minimum fuss. I was the only one attacking the crystals my mate only help to heal me and help fight the sith when they become aware, usualy after the 2nd green crystal goes bang. After the final red crystal was destroyed we backed off and requested a group. Within 10 minutes we had a 15 strong group consisting of different Jedi, Melee and Ranged, we dragged away lvl 100 Daktar and murdered him in a few seconds. Then basically just bulldozed our way through the rest of the camp.


This may not work for everyone but it seems if the mission holder can take the crystals alone they will destroy as normal.


Good luck

I got some advice from the forums from an earlier post so I'll pass it on. I finally finished the quest last night and I did it solo - How? Don't worry about the bugged crystals. Don't worry about the thugs. Don't even worry about Daktar. Get on your speeder and get really close to Mellichae until he targets you. Drag him away to where you know there are some NPCs. This could be a problem for those that don't have any NPCs within 400m because that's the point that Mellichae will stop following you. The NPCs also have to be red.However, they don't have to be a very high level because, for some reason, Mellichae is really weak against NPCs. Fly in behind the NPCs so that Mellichae has to run through them to get to you. Once he engages them and is pre-occupied - LOG OUT AND BACK IN. Don't exit the game, just log. For some reason, this shuts off his auto-heal. Now, get off your speeder and pound the heck out of him while he is still pre-occupied. I brought him down in a little under3 minutes.

S T F U cebere. They should have never gone live with this dren. Making us pay to beta test is the issue not whether the devs can push out another half baked patch.

hanzolo,


Does it have to be NPC's, or will any red mob do?

It can acutally be any mob. I was using NPC loosely for any mob.

Every major publish from day one has had bugs and this one is no exception. The daily hotfix patch list since it went through looks like some major publishes. And as for "making us pay for beta test" so to speak, vritually every software program does that to at least some extent, especially games, and MOST especially MMORPGs... That's why games almost always have several patches shortly after launch, and why Windows XP itsellf is in Service Patch 2 as we speak.


Yes the CU could have used polish before going live, but missing the deadline of having it ready for Episode 3 would have been far worse as we would miss the opportunity to get a whack of new blood in the game. So to respond in kind to your "S T F U", stick a pacifier in your mouth, suck it up and deal with it...
