Wow Kai..I certainly didn't expect THAT response. If it is any consolation, I have been lecturing people left and right today; I am in one of those moods.
Now, if only I could get my buds to realize that hunting unarmored and unbuffed IS possible and would be fun.
Hehe I think sometimes what I post what might seem as angery flaming but for the most part I do it as part conversation/flaming
I dont get angry over a game but I do enjoy debating and discussing about most things ingame... even things I believe is lacking.I have 3 guildmates grinding their last line of FS xp. Once they get done I gues things could get a lil bit more interesting.

I sure hope not! I was kinda scared when i hit submit on that post....I think it is public, but rare knowledge. If not, we will be needing a new Cor...

Also, there are two ways to get the Scythe schematic, but only one has been discovered. The content is there, if you put some effort into obtaining it.
...
Fair warning... the NPCs are bugged and the weapon is uncraftable due to lack of serial numbered parts. Have a nice day.
LoL
Seriously though... a while back there was talk about a special weapon that was dedicated to good old Holocron himself. TH mysteriously hinted that the item was being planned but its implementation was "something special he had in mind."
I'm always chasing odd quests and such ... just gives me one more thing to hope for as I go.

Uncraftable due to lack of serials....do you mean the berserker rifle? I thought people had made those for a bit but then things got screwed up.
And I assume you mean the NPCs for the second scythe schematic quest are bugged.
Anyitem that is in game is very likely to be discovered by scanning through the patch files (it has to have a model to be equipped and it is likely to have a schematic). But it's annoying to do that and I don't feel like extracting the whole thing to make it easier. Can you just make my life a bit easier and give me some idea of what it is you all are referring to so I don't waste my time looking for something that I already know? Even if it's only in a PM.

. Shouldn't be too bad. It's only going to be a few thousand different files.

I haven't seen them do anything with us but areatrack, but you don't need that anymore because you can drive around and watch the spawns.
I think if they want to even it up a bit, they should have never started the holocron thing, or at least made it so rare and random that it would limit the numbers. Get rid of the Swoops and Speederbikes (make them high faction point items), and cut half the player cities, or get rid of them entirely. Let us live in the cities they made, open up the damn buildings. Get rid of Squad Leader entirely, and give Ranger those abilities plus minor CH abilites. Say maybe we can own 1 CH creature, but limit that one to say lvl 30. Fix our cammo/maskscent so that it works right, and make BF healable in the field but only at HTFB level.
Plus, can anyone tell me who uses a Beam Rifle? I still have 1 of them and I know I can't use it as a Rifleman, but did they ever give the ability to Commando's? NM I can check that myself.
I don't find myself playing that much anymore, because even with my limited playing time, about the only things I haven't done for badges are the corvette, the other 28 professions, and the racetracks. The racetracks will be hard because Jedi or FS people are winning those with the skills they have, but I have a work around on that, just need the time.
I have been on the JTL beta for sometime now (about 5 weeks), and it won't save SWG, just add basically another thing to do.
Hopefully the combat revamp will help. If they make a straight shot kinda fighting (like FPS), make the Brawlers work for that Warcry, I could see some big changes coming. I will probably only be around to see that, if that doesn't work I'll be on my way back to fulltime FPS. They are a bit more fun sometimes and don't cost anything to play online, well most of them anyway.

Race tracks are another morning thing. Wake up right around server up and run and do them. Because of Jedi and AV-21s the time is set pretty much by the middle of the day. Beating it after that might rely solely on FS skills now. First thing in the morning though you're guaranteed to get the badge with a decent Swoop.
The Corvette Revitalized the game for me. In the last week I've made 8mill selling powerplants I've been collecting.
As far as the Beam Rifle? It's a rifle that really doesn't exist... that's right... this is not the rifle you're looking for. Early in Beta I believe the beam rifle was an actual Rifleman Acid rifle. Over time, though, it migrated into commando. The ability to craft it remains but the cert does not exist. (DISCLAIMER: I've put this piece of info together from bits I've read over the past year... I've never seen a working one and am not 100%sure this is correct. It just seems to be the standard response in the Rifleman board when this is asked.)

Well, if it's been available since release, I guess I'll just have to check through the initial set of data files
Well, I'm not seeing any special weapons lying around in the files (although I do see lots of different lightsabers listed....). But I do see lots of interesting stuff (including multiple missions to hunt krayts). Eh, whatever.
