It has been nerfed to a small degree. Couple of days ago I could easily send out 3 companions on Bountiful+ missions. Now, half the time, I almost always have to send one out on Abundant. It looks like they changed the amount of Rich and Bountiful missions are available are the lower levels as you gain in level.. THIS was the problem with slicing... Being able to send out class 2-4 rich missions with 400 slicing like no tomorrow... doing this with any crafting skill would net you stuff that is worthless because you outlevel it, but you never outlevel credits. tl;dr: They nerfed the amount of lower level Rich and Bountiful missions.

This is actually a big deal; and the only people who talk smack about us complaining are the people who can wear light armor. Seriously, why does a JC/SI get to run around like a Sand Person and I cannot simply because I wear heavy armor? Not only that, it provides a full set of completely moddable gear very early in the game.. but only for one archtype? Huh? Make up your minds.

Thanks, guys, for getting the first REAL FUN fight that me and my guild got to do, nerfed. Thanks so much. This was the best fun I had levelling so far, this fight.. 25 BH PowerTech tank Took us a couple tries, but we nailed it... and did it again the next day on the first shot. We had 2 tanks, me and a sith assassin.. use a taunt rotation on the guy with two lightsabers (drops threat and stuns) take him out first, etc It was a fun fight With CC, it would be so easy.. why oh why

I don't think so.. I logged in real quick today to restart missions and I had a blue class 5 lockbox with 9k, and a green class 4 with 4.3k The trick is to not do anything besides Bountiful and Rich yields.. Like.. I'll send a crew member off on a class 2 mission if it's a rich yield. If you only do bountiful and rich yields, no matter the level, you will make insane amounts of credits Yesterday I dropped UWT 150 for slicing, I'm not at 342 slicing and I have 110k credits, speeder training, 3 speeders, 2 bag-slots unlocked... Do not think it has been stealth nerfed, but it definitely needs it. You shouldn't be able to create credits out of thin air.. I'm simply doing it to stay ahead of the inflation it's inevitable going to cause.

Yeah, AFK has taken on different meanings these dasy, it can meaning literally away from keyboard or it can mean someone simply went to do something else in another window.. sorry for the confusion.

No, it's not. The keyboard is designed to do this, I should know as the timer feature is something I added myself (circuit). It's done all in hardware, when the timer fires it actually sends a real key-press. You can more than likely find the required know-how and schematics online if you look hard enough on google.

Never said I physically went away from the keyboard. I simply stated it prevents the game from flagging you as "afk"... like if you're talking to your grandma on Skype. Never said I physically left the keyboard

Wow. I'm not using any third party program. My keyboard (the hardware) has a feature to send keystrokes on a timer. It's built into the hardware and in no way a third party program. It's the same thing as keyboards that supports macros, just a bit more advanced. Try again, troll.. unless of course, you want to say using a certain keyboard is breaking the ToS.. then go right ahead. What if I set up an elaborate mechanical contraption to hit the space bar every 10 seconds? Is that against the ToS ? Because that's basically what the keyboard does, except I just tell the hardware to execute X key every 20 seconds 99999 times. And who said I wasn't physically at the keyboard? I never said I was actually 'away from keyboard' I said it simply prevents the game from flagging you as "AFK". I never said I left my keyboard... so yeah say whatever you'd like but there's no way for Bioware to differentiate automated keystrokes sent from a piece of hardware with the ability to send automated keystrokes and a user hitting a key every X seconds.. no way to tell, because there's no third party program.. so there's no banning or any of that nonsense because I'm not doing anything wrong. Have fun in the que.

Why wouldn't it work? What exactly are you trying to do that's not working? The keyboard sends a command every X seconds (that command is an ability that doesn't require an enemy to pull off, ie; powertech's flamethrower or flame sweep) The game detects user input and does not go into AFK mode. Are you using a third party program or something?

What are you talking about? I use my keyboards features to make sure I don't log out when I'm busy and they are working fine. Don't get mad at me, I'm just using features that my keyboard is built for..

Please bioware, Lock and Limit character creation on all EGA servers. Look at the server list, half light, half full. You know it has to be done, so do it. If a handful of people can't play with their friends, who cares. Its' for the future health of the game. You guys need to stop being so selfish. Roll on an empty server and make new friends.

I'm wondering the same thing Because I haven't seen a single one on a full PVP server, *** phasing?

Lol have you not noticed? There isn't a server left that isn't Very Heavy or full.

Okay.. servers are being hammered so of course stability is impacted and there will be disconnects. I don't mind queues.. they are normal But when you're disconnected it should really hold your spot for like a minute at least, so you can reconnect and not have to wait another 45 minutes after you already waited.. Y'know, just a suggestion... second time this has happened to me tonight, PLEASE FIX

Obviously if the 1st is being invited, it would overlap into the 2nd and 3rd more than likely. Maybe it is a huge coincidence and wave 4 ended on the 1st, exactly.. but I doubt it, wasn't that many pre-orders during that time.

I call BS I'm on the 3rd and I'm not in

I understand that's what they stated. The point I'm trying to make is people need to get off their high horse and stop flaming others who are genuinely upset. The fact is, the majority of the people doing the flaming are those with early access. If these people with access suddenly lost it, a percentage of them would be here and be just as vocal, but because they are playing the game they feel its' their right to flame others concerns.

I find it pretty hilarious all the people here saying, "Shut up and deal with it! They said UP TO 5 days!" I really wish Bioware would, instead of waves of players being able to access the game, allow certain groups of players the ability to log-on on certain early access days (ie. Your Early Access will be December 13-15th! Have fun!) I'd like to see all these people who are currently playing and flaming those of us who are upset, have their access to the game revoked and people who can't access it have a turn. What would happen? The very same people here on the forums telling us to shut up would be causing a firestorm. They would be claiming, "I pre-ordered first, WAAH! I should be able to play first, WAAH!" Instead, they are able to log in to the game so of course they are happy. It would be absolute gold if they did this, and it would show the absolute hypocrisy of these people. How can you dare tell us to be quiet when you would be just as vocal if it happened to you? I know it isn't going to happen; but I could only wish. You guys really need to step back and look at who you are flaming... I don't care what any of you say but ANYONE who is currently playing.. if your access suddenly was removed and you couldn't log in, you'd be right here making a flame thread. Don't deny it because you're lying if you say it's not true. At least have some empathy for people, it's obvious why they are upset and they have a very valid reason.

Rofl So, for people wanting to play on a PVP server, we're going to be greeted by level 50s decked out in full PVP gear y'know, I really had no problem with this delayed access really.. but this is starting to get kinda f'd up. If this is the case, they should've just allowed people to keep their characters from beta; same effect. Seriously.. I was okay with people getting a bit of a jump on me... I was fine with having to level a little faster to try and stay with the curve (pvp wise), maybe people would have some better gear Instead when I get to play I'm going to be greeted by the Level 50 squad of fully PVP geared players (because, y'know, with this exploit they get the badges and all, not just the experience... in 1-2 minutes instead of 15... so instead of 4x matches an hour that's a staggering 30! So basically a 30x Exp and badge increase is included with first day early access, whatever) This is crazy!

Thank the ******e Oceanic players for occupying this server and more than likely making it unplayable for any guild deployed to it for the forseeable future In case everyone doesn't know, some crazy group called the Oceanic daisy chain whatever gamed the guild deployment system to ensure the majority of oceanic players were deployed to one server, INSTEAD OF GETTING SPREAD OUT LIKE INTENDED. They gamed the system, now they are going to suffer because of it. I am pretty pissed because we had a guild deployed to Swiftsure, but screw that... they spammed EVERY SINGLE FORUM ON THE INTERNET with "Swiftsure is our server!" Why couldn't you guys just take whichever server would be handed to you instead of gaming the system and causing one server to be overloaded? One that is for US players, not Oceanic. Thank them for all their hard work... this server will have queues for a long, long time
