Either way there is nothing to be excited about. No premiums or flawless will be dropping anytime soon.

Let's hope Tiggs was talking about better than "good" pearl drops and not the bug that they were dropping on NPC's.

Cripes Almighty....she is responding to the bugs themselves, not the entire question. Read the entire thread and you will see this.

I agree that it may be ambiguous, but I would have thought the response was to the subject line and not to a minor detail within the subject. The major context is the subject, and the minor context the details within it. The natural interpretation would relate to the major context.






  1. Premium and Flawless pearls are no longer dropping, only "good".
    Since the CU (at least).
    Altough the use of ADK's helps current jedi maintain high quality sabers without decay, new jedi are at a significant disadvantage - I dare you to find a new jedi with a 10 FC saber (that didn't get ahold of pre-nerf premiums). And while we're on the subject, why in the world have I been looting Krayt Dragon Pearls and Krayt Dragon Tissues off of dead imperials at high end bases?!?!

This issue has been bugged but is on hold until other bugs are fixed first

Also, we want to balance the entire combat system first without prem pearlsfirst. Then add the prem pearlsand unbalance combat again, then nerf the crap out of Jedi one final time. Maybe we will offer a token token respec to correct the imbalance.


Just keep paying and we will continue to offer our terrible service.

It would be interesting to see a list of bugs, their priorites and the eta on the fixes. That would be really nice.

Hey frankly despite what some of the others have said I think this is great. Tiggs admitted this is a bug and that it would be fixed at some point. At least we know they do plan a fix at some point and that it is a bug and was not their intention. That's a good start at least.

It's not really an answer, more of an acknowledgement. We have a better chance of looting a premium pearl off a krayt dragon in real life than them fixing this anytime soon in-game.
