This might have been brought up before but my search-fu is failing me at the moment. Has there ever been any suggestion or comment from the Devs on why Stims and XP boosts, etc, are not paused at least when we are in a Rest Area? We get a notification of when we enter one, should not be too hard to code that in. It would be nice to be able to log in and do some crafting and not have limited duration consumables tick away. Just a thought.

@TonyTricicolo No. When he was in punching mode, he was the 'extra' person with our group, so he was never available in the companion window. Lana was the 'active' so she was there, but not Theron. Before these two chapters he was shooting, after he was shooting. The only thing I can think of is that something got unequipped when you have to wear the Zakuul armor for that party and I just never noticed it.

Using Theron on Iokath, no changes to him, back to using his guns. Not sure why he was that way in the chapters. When time, I may just jump in and see if he starts punching again.

He was just fine until these last two chapters. I guess I never checked though. Does companion gear take damage?

Back after a very long break and playing through the Chapters again. In the last two chapters of Knights of the Eternal Throne, where you have both Lana and Theron following you around (Lana is your active companion), all Theron does is run around and punch people. Is this normal? Did he run out of battery packs for his pistols? I mean, I would be happy to loan him a couple if he would only ask. I cannot dismiss and resummon to see if that fixes it. I have exited from the chapter(s) and started over, same issue. Just wondering if this is a known bug, or some part of the story that I missed. P.S. Would be nice if he learned how to stealth with Lana and I. Would make for a better time going through these areas.

I have been away for quite some time and have come back to play through the story with a friend of mine. I have some old crafters and made some low level weapons (and implants) for us to use. But because of the completely asinine changes with this latest patch, I don't have enough credits to even trade with him. How the hell can a level 16 purple be 96K to trade! What the ever bloody hell were people thinking when they put this in play?!? If you are trying to tax the uber wealthy back to reality, this is not the way to do it. They won't care if they have to pay 90K out of their millions or billions. All this does is ruin my experience in this game. What a complete joke.

Been away for a long while. Came back and decided to give the Operative a try. Great story through lvl 50. Companions kind of suck but the story was excellent. Enjoyed the stealth aspect. Acting like a CIA assassin, sneaking through areas, eliminating high value targets and slipping away with other enemies around. Grand fun and very enjoyable compared to my other character I played a lot (Jedi Sage). Then I get to Knights of the Fallen Empire, the place where stealth apparently goes to die. Knights, droids, even lowly sky troopers, all seem to just pop you out of stealth for no damn reason. No stealth scans, no indication that they are searching, just red alert and you are bumped out of stealth. What is the point of this? It does not add to the story. Did you build in some scripting in the game that forces you to kill these mobs so some future part does not bug out? If you have builds that have stealth and abilities that rely on attacking FROM stealth, why have every damn mob out there kick you out of it? I might as well play my Sage if I am going to have to fight every bloody mob. It really has stolen all desire to continue playing this class. Thanks for nothing I guess.

Recently when I go talk to Sana-Rae I go into a combat state. Sometimes I can talk to her and get out of it but today I could not. I could not quick travel, talk or log out because I was in combat. So I went exploring for the aggressor. Low and behold, in the War Room, T7 was red and started shooting at me! Luckily I was able to dispatch the little two-faced droid and go back to talk to Sana-Rae. Unfortunately I was not able to confront her about her alliance with the droid. We may have to watch her more closely. P.S. Not sure if this is happening for others but it is on my Sith Juggernaut and my Bounty Hunter Mercenary. I don't think this has happened for my Consular Sage yet.

Update on this. I finished KotET and they both showed up again. Not sure why they were not there but they are back after finishing that story arc.

I have a number of crates to turn into Visz and Agyo but they seem to be missing on Odessen. The Hut and Sana are there but the other two seemed to have disappeared. I have tried the 'travel to contact' from the Companions form but no dice. Logging out and in, off planet and back, etc, does not seem to spawn them. I have a few companion quests they sent me on still active. Not sure if that is the deal. Am I missing something or do they disappear for a while during the story. On that front I have finished KotFE and on chapter 5 of KotET. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks a bunch!

So I got this today from the final boss of Czerka Labs but I cannot find the vendor to turn it into. From what I have read, you turn it into the Elite Comms vendor on the Fleet but he does not have any option to turn this in at. Any pointers?

I was actually wondering the same thing. I see more than a few guides on how to get to 400 the fastest and they list what mats you need to do so but not where to get the mats in the first place. I am only lvl 30 on my first character so I have not seen all the planets but the only place I have found that has good (IMO) density of nodes for archeology is the Jedi Temple on Corrasant, but alas that only has grade 1 items. Does anyone know of any guides that point to specific locations to farm nodes? Not just Tatooine for grade 3 items but a specific region? This is the best I have found but it is pretty vague for Republic side: http://www.swtorcrewskills.com/swtor-gathering-skills/swtor-archaeology-leveling-guide

If you are looking for grade 1 archeology items, the Jedi Temple on Corrasant is a great place to mine them (go figure ). It has a pretty high density and respawn rate so you can collect quite a few if you are willing to farm for a bit.

Thanks, I gathered the agro range was reduced but when they are right next to a gathering skill node it makes these low level areas rather annoying.
