Indeed, its 10 hour shard grind. By the way. The best place to grind shards is in the war factory, there is a nice spawn circle there at the front entrence.

The crafted core is consumed when you use the control panel. So it is a one time use for 2400 shards.

Got enough shards to play as tyth, this is what it looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPa0IjvheVQ

I did not get the 30 days free because I have charecters across different servers. If thoese said charecters were on the same server I would of qualified for the free 30 days. So I am being punished for wanting to play the different server types. Thanks biowere my play time runs out tommorow and I dont have the money for this months sub. So my friends will now get ahead of me and I wont be able to play anymore. So goodbye everyone been great playing while it has lasted. I might see you in GW2 or TSW

Unfortunatly for me I preodered from one of swtor's chosen distrubuters which was game online. You would think that with such a release and based on entering pre oder codes that they would make sure there distributers would send the pre oder codes when the product is actually pre orderd but no. Game sent the codes out a week late and all I get back is we canot control what our distrubuters do. Exscuse me but its your game. If i get a baby siter to look after my kid its my fault if my child gets hurt. Anyway as such all my guild is playing and im now waiting listerning to there joy when I preodered on the 21st just like them
