I logged on today just to see if my Phase 4 award Aurilia Sculpture Section (1/4) was in my inventory.


It was not...


I fulfilled the Phase 4 Ranged Speed quest for Captain Sarguillo but could not finish my quest. Later a CSR unlocked my Force Speed (which I dont need actually since i am a finished template Jedi). But I have never received my Aurilia Sculpture Section (1/4) reward which was the reason of doing the quest.







Clarification: today's hotfix only applies to the current Phase 4 (as well as preventing problems in future Phase 4's). Sorry!

Great! thx man

now for changing back to 3:1





Yeah....no kidding...the combat xp change is uncalled for. It doubles everyone's grind for FS. If the dev's are that concerned with people exploiting grenades...then nerf grenade xp/damage. Don't punish the rest of us.


So now instead of me getting almost 200k FS a trade it....now I barely get 100k FS.....Since combat xp is so tough to get in the first place....and there is a smaller limit it dramatically adds to grind time. It takes a heck of a long time to max out xp..and then it gets nerfd. If I spend the extra time maxing out xp I should get rewarded for it...at least make it1:10...or 1:5....but to go from 1:3 to 1:30 is just insane.


I'm a master tka, pikeman, brawler....I don't see it fair that a few exploiters of grenades have doubled my grind time.

I'd like to start out by saying thanks to SOE for the recent increase of communications from them. This is a welcome change from what I have seen over the past year and a half that I've been playing SWG. I hope it gets better, but this is a nice start. WTG!

As others have stated, the nerf to combat conversion XP in the village is hurting...a lot!
It seems the very simple fix should be (and this is how it should have been done to begin with) is to make grenades give heavy weapons XP instead of combat XP. This way you are not punishing players who are not exploiting the system and are 'playing by the rules'. Please consider fixing this the proper way! We need our 3:1 back for combat xp.




Personally, I think its a good thing. Fewer Jedi scum.

Has there been a change between early this morning and the time of this posting? I logged in this morning and didn't see anything new in my inventory, but (again), I don't know what exactly I'm looking for (i'm told it's a sculpture piece, and i did the melee speed).





To clarify: I was only referring to the hotfix. There has not been an additional change today.


Just to confirm, do you mean Melee Defense? Melee Speed is a Phase 2 unlock.


Assuming you meanMelee Defense, you should have a 5-use "Dermal Thickener" melee defense buff item as a quest reward.


Also, can you verify whether or not you have the branch unlock by talking to Paemos or Noldan?






Thought I'd mention that I did the phase 4 quest for ranged speed. Are we supposed to get anything for that quest? I didnt. I dont have anything since this patch either!




Yes you get Sculpture piece (1/4)

It isn't about fewer jedi, it is about SOE making extra bucks for the increase in time it takes people to get jedi.


Like I said I have 5 boxes left to go, I have about an hour a night playtime, my grind just increased two-fold and I was on a track to unlock by december, now it may take me another year.


I've been playing for 2 years already I like all the friends I made in game, but the recent decissions they made makes me shake my head. I wonder what Q-3PO would think if he came back and saw what the game has turned into.

This fix doesn't apply to me anymore, but I still would like to thank everyone on the Galaxies team for communicating things to us now. All we, the players, like is to know some of the details of whats going on behind the sences with some of the bugs and problems.


When I did have this bug,CSR TimV worked on this problem for me. It was fixed in a day or so, and I was able to do the Melee Defence quest. Keep up the good work.

What frustrated me the most with this issue (and many thanks for getting it resolved) is that the first three CSRs who looked at my ticket just blew it off with a canned response. Canned responsesdo not help in this situation, mainly because in the past a workaround was done and the canned response basically says "wait for the developers to get around to fixing this" which is not very reassuring to those of us who have been around a while, and have seen issues like this one languish while insta-hotfixes are pushed forward to get candles burning again.


When I finally got a live CSR to talk to me, that went a very long way to reinforcing my patience with the issue.
