Awesome patch, a lot of work after the errors loggin in, a whole new build as well.../hi5 to the team for working so hard to fix this
New problems currently experiened during gameplay
Krayt boom? well it was good for about 6 hours, now nothing on tatooine is spawning. Not krayts, not lairs (a few) not any npc's from Krayt graveyard to Mos ethna i scanned for a additional 4 hours......nadda
On a side note; When krayts were spawning, the kill stealing was insane. If you were a group of 2-3 people..work a krayt down to say 45-50% mind, huge groups of jedi were not hunting thier own kills. they were hitting everyone elses..laughing at people at thier superiority. Was quite frustrating. They would accualy follow you around, if you found a krayt..they would engage it . You cant report it as harrasment.. one of my friends tried and the responce was there was little that could be done about it.
If possible something good added to a patch would be..
If you engage a agro, only the group engaged may finish, no outside groups or people can engage the battle without invite to the group.
This is to keep content for the little guy without power of huge PA affiliation.
Rubber banding BAD..very bad <---a hot fix for this would be real nice.
Mind buffs Secondaries work, but main dance buffs wont work. tried both solo and grouped no-go. <---a hot fix for this would be real nice.
Other than those issues which seem important..great patch

AGREED

Just like the real world, the little guy is at a disadvantage. Asking the dev's to come to your rescue is weak, and dependant. Get stronger than the competition or outwit the competition. This is a game to win, not to be "Fair and balanced" by an overseeing entity like the devs.

Nice?? It is a must.

Mind buffs work if the dancers does a /setperform on a single player. This is absurd. THis is antithetical to group play. URGENT fix required.
Other than those issues which seem important..great patch
Minimal crashes appreciated

Kill Stealling is Rude. Falling back on the "I'm Strong, You're Weak" litany does not make it right. The poster's suggestion that a KS block system of aggro=loot-rights is a valid one, and deserves consideration.
I for one will never sit back and say that Kill Stealing should have any part in our culture. Those that engage in KSing have no common courtesy.
BUGS WITH PATCH: Entertainers not able to group buff, Massive Rubberbanding.

primary mind buff (dancer buff) only works when the dancer focuses on you regaurdless of group. this is how it used to be and everyone hated it. this is how it works now and everyone hates it. change it back.
in fact, just roll back the patch. you guys didn't really change much. you just messed with stuff that wasn't broken. stop fixing things that arn't broke and focus on the combat revamp already. or at least delete half the jedi per server to make PvP a little more balanced

Everything else is awesome though!

Holy (self edit) fix the crafting tools!! They're no longer tell you what resourceses are needed, how much you need, or what resource stat is important. This is on top of the other bugs.

I do have to abridge my statement. Common courtesy and no kill stealing

is appropriate between same faction ( There is a GCW, remember). I also did not say kill stealing is "right", I made no value judgements at all in fact. Somehow you thought my statement of fact is a "litany" for approval of this action.
It is not.
I stated what really happens, in the real world and in the game world. My recommendation is to do something about it yourself, not expect mama and papa DEV to hold your hand, wipe your butt and make the game "fair". Geesh.

I wanted to come in here and whine about the crafting problems and rubberbanding, but i see some peeps have beat me to it.
So what else is there:
- 60 Seconds waiting time for shuttles is unrealistic, bump it back to 3-5 mins.
- Can you add Kimogila missions to Lok mission terminals for groups.
- Change the pet system! Droids are droids and not the same as pets. Make them belong to different categories so everyone can call 1 of each. Also droids, such as Probots are too weak to be of any use against other players. If i were to attack someone with a level 42 and a lower class, say level 10 pet,my Probot would be dead in seconds and i shortly after that. Is this balanced? Either add room in Probots so they hold more modules are enhance them.
- Explorer missions are confusing, how do these work? The missions on there never spawn at the given location, i.e. the displayed distance and direction.
- Make space combat better, ditch the current control system and pick up the one from X-Wing Alliance, that one is much better.
- Make space spawns more dynamic.
- Make space the STAR WARS that this game is based on and is supposed to be!
- More story, massive player missions/quests and live events.
- More types of armor!
- More vehicles, including combat enhanced (Dune Speeder, Gian Speeder, Flash Speeder w/Laser Cannons and room for multiple people) and fixed vehicles. I.e. if i see 2 seats in a vehicle it should hold 2 (i.e. owner plus one droid/pet or a player or can do it like in ANH), not just one. Speederbikes should be able to have one passenger be seated behind it.

I like the idea of the creds coming straight out of your bank account for the structures, but it would be nice tobe able to select which person on the admin list is responsible for payment. I.E. I have several harvs on another player's lots, and I manage them, and pay for them, but if I default on the maint, it will come out of his bank. It would be nice if they would come from my bank.
The rubberbanding in this publish is terrible. I didn't have troubles with it before, but it is almost bad enough that I can't travel by swoop anymore. If there is something on my end I can do to help that, let me know.
thanks.
