Please fix the horrible crafting system or greatly increase the drops of the Isotopes and Solid Resource Matrix items that are required now to make everything, even green stuff which should be easy!!! At the very least you can increase the RE % chances so we don't have to blow all the mats that take days to grind, then failing 5 RE attempts and getting nothing for your days of time. Whoever came up with this was a sadist. Been playing this game since closed betas and I think this current crafting system is probably the worse yet as far as its time investment vs benefit factor.

I used to love to craft stuff and RE stuff, not anymore. You basically have to grind all day on multiple chars now getting their conquest done for the week just to be able to make greens, and the % RE change was lowered way down so you can burn through a ton of mats and not even get any success on your RE's. Did Bioware just want to kill this whole part of the game???

Ability lag is pretty bad right now on Star Forge since the maintenance. Having to press skills multiple times or overall server lag going on. My ping to the server is 10ms because I live very close to the SWTOR East Coast datacenter but the game is doing its years old issue with abilities..

Thanks, I thought so too but I haven't played in like 18 months until I started again a few weeks ago, just making sure. Thanks for the clarification.

They said it would make it easier for those not in a clan to reach their personal conquest goals, those that are already in clans should see about the same experience if not slightly better. Double XP/CXP starts today as well right? "Double XP will run from June 11th - 18th." Or is it just normal XP not CXP?

I totally agree with the OP on the textures for this game being very outdated. I was away from the game for like 18 months and just starting playing again to catch up on the expansion. Having played a lot of AAA games over the last couple years and coming back to this game really made it stand out how poor the textures are in this game. I know its DX9 and all but I think they could do better. I mean on my 2080Ti would like some better textures and if it was a checkbox to add them to the client from the game launcher then only those with machines that could handle them could use them and those that could not could uncheck them. I would definitely pay the full price of a new game if they overhauled the graphics engine for this game, though I know that is a pipe dream the texture improvements I believer are totally possible, look at all those remastered games out there that did this.

@Eric or anyone from the dev team. Any plans to finally put grade 10 materials on the Jawa Scrap Peddlers? 5.0 has been out for several months now and all the scrap you give from CXP crates could really be useful if you added these mats to the Scrap Peddlers. As it is now all that scrap is either fodder for disintegration or you can keep it for Conquest crafting or you can turn them into a couple gifts useful to only a few companions. Thank you if you answer

Eric, Question, if you are going to now cap the CXP level at 300 and not let it go up at all for Tier 4, how will you handle this Tier 5 you say is a few months away? It seems to me you should still have had some levels of GC to make future releases of tiers work in your current system. I mean will T5 just be GC Level 301, or would you make T5 be 300 and just adjust the levels of the tiers below that?

yes i've done this just as fast on my Guardian DPS and Commando DPS as on my Shadow.

Also its not like its easy to do The Hunt on Master mode either. I know a lot of people that can't even do it, you have to have some skill. so you are getting rewarded by doing it successfully in quick time because you have skill. Now lets nerf it because we don't want skilled players getting ahead.

Wait so we find reasonable ways around this craptastic system you guys came up with to level our 16+ alts we have because lets face it you promoted alts, then you go and find whats good and nerf those things we found to do just to rub it in our faces. Why have I been so loyal to this game for 5 years subscribing is beyond me I have to keep forcing myself to not cancel my sub daily at this point. I feel like you guys are just trying to kill this game because BW or EA doesn't want it anymore. I want this game succeed but seriously, get your heads in the game.

Eric, From a Public Relations standpoint you guys really need to get ahead of the data miners. Because this info was all over the net a week or so ago and everyone is already mad. You are releasing a new T4 with a 100 more levels that require more CXP at the same time the 350% bonus that you have on right now will be ending. While you said you plan to increase CXP rewards it won't be to that level. So people that have been grinding up CXP on 1 or 2 chars to even get T3 have more in front of them. People that have several characters in their Legacy still have no idea how they will ever get those other chars into good gear without spending another mountain of time grinding them up. All the while you have people that have been players for years feeling like they don't want to deal with this hot mess anymore and moving on. I mean I have subbed for 5 years straight since release for instance. Even when I took breaks for months to do play other games and give myself a SWTOR rest I still would pay my sub because I wanted to support the game because I always planned to come back. Now I'm really considering just taking a full permanent break from the game, cancel sub and move on. I finally got 2 chars to T3 by just buckling down and grinding hours on the fastest CXP gain items on those 2 chars until I got them there, using boosts along the way that cost me RL money on top of my sub fee. This was probably the worse experience I have had with this game in 5 years. Who wants to play that way just to get 1 or 2 characters ahead? Instead of playing content I like I made myself just grind the largest CXP over quickest time items. If you have all these grand plans to fix things and make the community want to play this game and resub then I suggest you get it out there and stop being so secret. MMO's are long haul games and people want to know the road map. After all you don't take a cross country drive without a map right! One easy fix would be to take out all if not some of the RNG from crates. Make certain levels of CXP give out a certain specific piece. Eventually when you get to T2 you should had got every T1 piece, same when you get to T3, every T2 piece and so on. If you switch between tank and dps on a character then maybe just give one of each so if the person never plays tank they will just disgard them but if they play both char types they can still do that.

YES PLEASE!! These are rare and cost a ton on the market because they are rare, some as high as 80M atm on my server. But you only can use them 1x and can't even unlock in collections. Please add these to collections!

Ran into this same bug today, had made a new level 1 character recently and once I got Treek I gifted her up to level 30 and then wanted to get a bunch from the conversations on the ship but they don't seem to give anything at all. HK51 same thing, no influence form him either while doing ship conversations that used to grant it in the past.
