While following the Ilum Imperial story, I tried the False Emperor with my Marauder yesterday. Lacking knockback of any sort, I expected to depend on the grenades provided before the last boss fight, but alas, the crate was gone! I thought maybe the solo mode is simplified in that you can just kill the boss outright. However, (a lot of) subsequent attempts proved that is not the case. At about 10 % health the encounter always resets. (The combat music doesn't stop playing, but the boss disappears and reappears with full health at his starting position right below the stairs.) Does the same thing with or without Combat Support Droid. Bugged?

Well. When the F2P option was announced, I quit TOR for almost a year. I didn't want people to play this game for free AT ALL. That's how elitist I am. However. To all my fellow subs that keep proclaiming nothing was taken from us - provided you are willing to pay - well, that's [insert random crapword with the meaning of "not true"], guys. If nothing has been removed, then tell me, which vendor do I go to when I want to buy parts of Battle Instructor set (used to be Tatooine equipment) or RD-05A Sniper (used to be sold on Alderaan)? You speak of a lvl 8 vendor with orange gear - surely you don't mean to say that being able to buy ONE set of armor instead of choosing from a DOZEN is "nothing has been removed", do you? It's a serious flaw. I am that paying customer you keep talking of, yet I have been screwed, because now the options for outfitting my characters are a lot narrower than they used to be. There was a ton of great stuff that is no longer here, not even shifted to the CM yet (and that move will be horrendous in itself). I don't know if all of it can be crafted - someone please confirm or deny this if you know - but even if if is, the new players never get a chance to learn the schematics and the old will gradually go away and what then? I used to be able to buy a piece of equipment for some comms, now I will have to dish out a few million credits because there are 10 people in total crafting what I want? Nothing removed, indeed!

Perhaps I am missing something obvious about the problem - if so I am sorry - but unless I do, the upgrades you ask for can be purchased quite expectedly at Starship Upgrades vendors.

I believe the paragraph below hasn't been adressed yet. (If so, my apologies for the redundance.) One can add tabs to their channel window. One can set whatever channels they want displayed in a particular tab. You've just proved your ignorance. (Gratz to you all who "totally agree with the OP". You haven't actually read his post, have you? ) One thing I could agree on with you - allow the choice for a particular warzone. Other than that - nope. The things you see as problems, I do not. (Tatooine has no breathing room? What?) This MMO is different and that is why it gets my money, because it throws away things I don't like about others MMOs. So for every player who leaves because this game doesn't have what other MMOs have, another player may come (because this game doesn't have what other MMOs have).

8/30, just received the e-mail! Good luck everyone!

I was in the beta stress test in November, playing Smuggler. In there, mousing over Aim and Cunning revealed that Cunning contributes to more secondary attributes (yep, it is truly Smuggler's main stat then), while Aim contributes to less, but more significantly. So if I were a Smuggler who would like to throw away all her tech power and trade it for more crit/base damage, I may have done well with Aim taken over Cunning. I am glad the option is there and having a main stat does not mean you have to rise that one stat and no other... bad thing is there was no Aim gear around to equip, so the option was kind of hypothetical.
