We are talking about the latest high end mats not being available on the GTN - and people are focusing on an exploit that potentially flooded the market with them - not sure why! This is classic developer lack of attention to detail - nothing else!!! They forgot to make them available to be listed and shown as they have done time and again. Just like they forgot to update the list that shows which HM Flashpoints count for the weekly, and the new Datacron quests, add your favorite new bug here... They will get added in time, so as for me to the OP - Signed! Barumar

Yeah, we did Battle of Rishi HM last night too, and got no credit towards the Weekly. VERY disappointed that they did this to us AGAIN! I don't know who is in charge of updating and checking that table of quests that count towards a Weekly, but that person/people really need to get it together, as this is getting really old... Barumar

Had the same issue today after patch as last night. Got quest and Group Finder credit, but no Weekly 1/3... Bug reported it, hoping they fix soon, as those Comms are why we are running it! Barumar

I have two of my alts with this maxed out, and when putting all my alts to work make sure I do any of the highest return missions of any level I have available. As said above, the grade 9 mats sell well, but I use them on alts (or with Guildies) to make Augmentation Kits. Also, you can send to alts or guildies to make Grenades, ship parts, etc. So, depends on what you want to do with them, but at least they can make you some creds if you done use the mats yourself for crafting.

Dulfy ROCKS!!! That is all. Barumar

Here are my thoughts on this: I would LOVE it! I would use it all the time! I would expect it to work even when I am playing a different character! I would hate myself for it when at work, or spending time away from my gaming computer with family/friends! I would be willing to pay extra for it (but not more than a couple of bucks)! I would LOVE it!!! Barumar

That has always worked for me! As long as I am left alone long enough to do so Had an alt on Tatooine last weekend - quite the challenge now on a busy PvP server! Even brought my lvl 50 with Stealth over to avenge/give payback - turned out to be a lot of fun! Did have the balloon glitch on me multiple times. Experienced the de-spawn just short of the pick-up point. Also, one time I fought my way onto the Balloon and thought I was safe until the destination - only to be targeted and pulled out mid-flight! I think the new path has a "low spot" that I didn't know about until it was too late . One thing I have to ask, are there other classes that can get up top of the destination easier than waiting for the Balloon? I was watching a large group of Imps use alvl 50 Imp Agent's crouch and 'shoost' ability to launch jumping comrades right up top. Took them a few tries normally to get the timing down, but sure beats the damn balloon fight/ride... Barumar

I believe it is more of a class progression link versus early maxing of affection. Keep choosing the "Flirt" choices and you should be fine. Oh, and when flirting with others, be sure she is on a crafting mission ! Barumar

I did the same thing, but once things progressed with Risha we have become like an old maried couple. No more flame to our relationship, we do things together occasionally, but my old buddy Bowdaar is back to being my primary companion. Corso's country boy charm got old QUICK! Risha was sweet, but now is an old naggy wife! Gus is a hoot, but as I can heal I prefer DPS'ing with my tank holding agro... Doing Black Hold Dailies/Weekly or whatever else - he is my main companion now. Outfitting him in decent (what else do I spend those Tionese and even now Columni comms on?) tanking gear made a HUGE difference! I say play them all, keep them decently greared, and long term use the one that best matches your play style. Barumar

Interesting line "You will be able to recruit them into your party" - wonder what that will mean in reality... We shall see, but I am hoping it is for more than just that mission! Barumar

If you want to sell raw metals look at Prom or Zal and its partner. I make money turning those into Ship Parts (competitive but fluid market!) as well as Augment Kits (be sure to make a lvl 49 green that only takes 2 of each ). Good news bad news really - lots of activity on the Market, and LOTS of competetion! I like the low prices I can buy most things at though... Just got to find your niche and you will be making creds soon. Barumar

What I do - works like a charm. Last night, I switched from 2 -> 1 just after realizing how crowded the place was, and for 10 minutes 1 was all alone! Basicially we went from totally dead areas to over populated ones with the server "Mergers" (sorry - I realize I used that word that BW refuses to use - but it is what it is!) and will just have to deal with it. You could always go to Ilum or Belsavis for Dailies and just do Black Hole once a week for the BM comms... Barumar

Thanks guys, not sure what I thought there was, but found the Trapper gear. Problem for me is it is END over CUN and I perfer the opposite. I may have to mix and match anhancements... Bar

Is this not something we were able to buy from the Vendor for 60 comms? Last night I finally got the 60 I need, but it was not on the list available for me to buy. It appeared other set chest pieces were for sale for 60, but NOT the Enforcer's Jacket... Anyone know why or if this has changed recently? Thanks in advance for any info (except for go grind a HM or OPS for it like my weapons - as I already know that ). Barumar

It will be interesting to see what they decide, but only time will tell. They were being oddly stubborn about "server mergers" IMHO, but with free transfers to (suprised me!) "Super Servers" they are in effect merging the low pop ones to high pop. As far as shutting down the 'dead' severs, who knows how many hundreds of old accounts/abandoned characters there will be on each - and what do they do with them? Automatic Free Transfer them? Sounds like a merger to me... Barumar

Supply and Demand - with a twist. With server transfers this is going to be an interesting time for such things... What was the price before and what will they be now? Also, how hard will they be to get on your new Servers? AND how many others just thought to go farm some on their old dead server BEFORE they transfer ... Barumar

Yes you do get an e-mail! It is from the companion that tried to give the ingreds back. Barumar

I think it is based on your persepctive and goals. I really enjoy crafting and not only make cool/useful stuff for my Guildies, but make most of my money off of it. Certainly you make cred running missions/killing stuff but I logged into 250k on one AH tune and 175k on the other (ship upgrades sell for more on the Imp side - go figure ) last night. I make bombs forms me and my guidlies to use on OPS ("Nuke the boss" is fun and great spike DPS), Heal Pacs for all, stims, etc with different alts. Now my Armormech does not get to craft much these days, but when modable armor and the augments first came out I sure did - and made some serious creds! Anyway, like I said it all depends on what you hope to get out of it, but I certainly find it useful/enjoyable/profitable. Barumar

My problem started after 1.2 - can play for a while and crash to desktop, sometimes cannot log back in until I reboot. There is a thread about Win 7 64-bit and run the app (and launcher) in compatibility mode, but that doesn'y help! I have a brand new Dell Aurora and am beyond frustrated - so like the OP would love to hear something from the Devs... Barumar

QFT! On the plus side this ill-advised hot-fix repaired the issue with GTN searches that the last hot-fix introcuced Barumar

So the guy who took a shot of Whiskey was NOT successful, gotta ask what you drank first Do we think this is still a 20% (1/5) chance or probably less? Barumar

I think prices will continue to drop on the schematics, as they have since last weekend when they were HIGH! Also, the prices on the Purple Aguments are already dropping I have a Slicer alt and have had good lucj getting schematics for my main who is a ArmorMech - luckily got the Aim/End schematic Friday and was listing Purples on the AH later that night... One thing that did spike in price was the one time Slicing Missions! Anyone else notice the return rate (or crit rate) of Slicing Augment purple ingredients drop off this week? Got a lot at first, but last few days none - and that is REALLY making them hard to find on the GTN at any price... Barumar

Yeah, im an Idiot was camping a chest this afternoon and didn't realize my buff wore off, and ***-u-ME'd it was the update. Sorry for the trouble and rude thoughts towards BW!

Last night my crit chance was at 32.76% (had a conversation with Guildies and am certain of this) and now it is 27.73% - exactly 5% less! Anyone know if anything in the release notes (or not in them!) can explain this drop? I have not changed any gear, and I even un-equiped and re-equiped all gear just to be sure. Oh, and the biggest difference one item made being removed was 2%! Would not even ask if it was not such a big loss % wise... Thanks, Bar

I recall it being lvl 41 - which I remeber thinking was odd it was not 40. Could be tied to Class Quest, but I had the fifth companion for a bit first... Barumar
