[Does anyone else in game have a black/color crystal?]

Rift / Forsaken World / Dragons Nest / Vindictus / Rusty Hearts.

Amusing when F2P's have better launches then P2P's.

 

Yeah, the servers didn't go down when Rift launched.

 

/sarcasm off

[This is the state of crafting.]

really? You do realize that crafting will provide a) the mods you need to keep looking cool in your orange armor at 50 (Cybertech) b) the stims you need to raid (bio) c) the best raid dropped schematic gear (synthweave, armortech, armstech)d) Gear to get ready /for/ raiding in between drops from heroics (same as above) e) The color crystals you want to make that lightsaber bada** (Artifice)

Crafting is not important while leveling when you are replacing your gear every couple of missions. This is the way it is in ALL reward based mmo's. Unless you powerlevel your crafting stats in the early levels so your crafting gear is higher than the mission gear you get, you wont need it while leveling. and 95% of the game is still leveling right now.

 

Crafting is just as important as any mmo - you just arent max level when it /becomes/ important.

 

This dude gets it. Get some patience, guys ;-) I'm almost 100% sure that crafting is going to play a big part in this game. For example I absolutely love Biochem with my re-usable medpacks and re-usable epix stims <3

[Biochem stuck at level 135]

I cant level my biochem past 135 for some reason. I dont have any new recipes to learn at the trainer, but everything I craft doesnt give me any skill increase, what am I missing?

 

You are missing the part where you should look at the color of the thing you are about the craft. The closer the color is to orange, the bigger is the chance that you will gain more points in your biochem. The closer the color is to green means the opposite thing

[Underworld Trading]

As a force user, I got Underworld Trading primarily so I would get some of the more rare components required for some of the Synthweaving recipes. However, all that my crew members keep bringing back are the companion gifts. I’m 120 in UT and already have a locker full of gifts for crew members I don’t yet have. The UT skill is the recommended one for Synthweaving and the description says it will yield luxury fabrics and underworld metals used to construct prototype and artifact armor, earpieces, grenades, space upgrades and weapons and armor modifications. How come all I’m getting is the gifts? Anyone else having this issue?

 

Thanks

 

Have you actually read the part where it says "yields luxury fabrics" for example?

There is one for "companion gifts" as well, and my guess would be that you picked that one instead. Learn to read the description

[SWTOR came too soon.]

After reading all that I've read and seeing all that I've seen, SWTOR should not have come out as soon as it did.

 

What do you think?

 

As Chuck Testa would have said: Nope.

 

Jokes aside. No, it really shouldn't have waited. Name one.. just one MMO that had a better launch. :-)

[Sith Corruption]

My characters beard changed for no reason. I like my new moustache, but still...
