All right, she's done enough time as the sub-subpar (a lower-performing-than-any-of-the-4.0++copycat-comps) companion. Fair is fair. I know she had her good times as the apex OP companion (maxed at Affection 10, I recall), and the time came to hop down, but the price has been exacted (+ interest), and I am so looking forward to seeing all of the companions in the game get re-tuned in 6.0! (Never mind the peculiar notion that I am eagerly anticipating them becoming, dare I say, better-homogenized??? Yipes.) I truly wish that you makers of this game would implement for Treek anything akin to her (and pretty much every pre-4.0 companion's) original powers. I freely admit that using her once upon a time, back in the days of Companion Affection, provided an undeniably large buff for "soloing" content, but I loved playing with her before the arrival of Influence and its attendant companion ability profiles that all of the comps currently share. I loved fighting opponents with her, and I loved how her combat animations were such an integral part of her personality, adding so much to how her character interacts with our PCs and providing more immersion for her. One can only ask, so please, let it be coded in, for all of our companions, a number of their original, unique attacks and abilities (and their animations, naturally). Truly, empower our companions to Play Their Way once more. Many thanks. Love the game. Still love playing it. Keep making it better. Never stop min/maxing the fun parts. Keep returning the fun parts that have been lost.

I can confirm that a yellow repeatable is not marked as complete after completing it and receiving the awarded points. It would appear now that I can repeat such an objective ad infinitum, so: Was the "fix" from 5.9a not supposed to take effect on the once-daily-repeatables until next Tuesday's conquest? P.S. No logging an alt is required to "reset" the completion. The yellow-triangle objectives (marked "Daily Repeatable" now after 5.9a) can be completed over and over without ever logging out. Go nuts.

Same. All slicing boxes/cases of all grades have had slashed returns starting with the 5.8 patch.

along with: Ai ai ai... I can only imagine what it's like, but however taxing his restrictions may be, he doesn't often let it show. ---------------------- Y'all right, Eric? I must be behind the times, but I was accustomed to seeing a gold post in advance of your livestreams. Anyway I did learn of it and was able to watch the recording, thanks. Hope all is well for you, and that whatever slings and arrows may be flying around give you a wide miss! (((Relic Proc)))

Ok, here are links from two accounts. Hope some people can use and enjoy! http://www.swtor.com/user/ce/c466i http://www.swtor.com/user/ce/38joqg

These pants? If purple, that would be a dye module indeed. This armor set's fabric takes colors, imo, beautifully!

Why wouldn't you relieve the guard for efficiency's sake if you're playing a dps class that can node guard (i.e., not Mara/Sent)? Your team's offensive back at mid is missing your dps the whole time it takes you to make that round-trip, but the current guard could start running and replace you at mid in half the time if you take over guarding for a spell.

I have not been able to crit-craft crystals since 4.0 dropped, and psandak confirmed this was the case in this post from another thread:

Nearly frozen on Jedi Covenant, but latency is normal < 60ms

And you never purchased any extra character slots? That's 16 per server just complimentary with a subscription? Thank you for responding. I had no idea. My account must be glitched, and I'll have to contact CS!

I've seen this number 16 popping up in several other posts regarding the potential need to purchase character slots for the DvL event. Am I reading your post wrong, or are you implying that subscribers get 16 free character slots per server? (I'm aware that 16 is the number of unique characters one would need to have one of each advanced class, but that's not how some of these posts are reading.) I've been subscribing since 2011, and we got 12 free slots per server at launch. Then it was bumped up to 14 last year. Or did I miss something?

I understand this was where the "RP-as-MadCuzBad" thread got merged. Am I in the right place?

Thank you very much, Anysao

What is her "default" alignment if you retrieve her on a Start-at-60 warrior, does anyone know? My warrior who's running KotFE started at 60 and had no input on the automatically completed 1-50 class storyline, so I'm curious which Jaesa is waiting in that terminal. lol I've only pulled Broonie out of there so far, and I'm in no hurry to add to my army of followers at this time, so...anyone out there have experience to share?

nice merc tanking, if I may sounds like a place where a perceptive tank on your team would do well to run through and area taunt for you every so often, no? that sounds like the very fix that so many have been asking for since OPG launched! just chuckling at the thought of so many forum posters that are practically begging to have the same misfortune

How do you mean ? The game company always looks to me like they communicate when they can either: 1. Tell the customers things that usually make customers happy (e.g., we're giving you more stuff, we're fixing something that was broken, etc.) or 2. Tell the customers news that is not good, but is something of critical importance to the immediate loss of players and cash-flow (e.g., the servers are down, the launcher is broken, etc.) so I'm curious about your idea of thicker skin. Cheers.

I'm putting in a request for Bioware to release some group-filling facilitator for event bosses like Xenoanalyst and world bosses. (If it hasn't already been suggested numerous times...i'm under no illusion about how readily answered are suggestions/requests. lol) In light of the new group-content dynamic that has developed since 4.0, such a mechanism might be more effective than ever before.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that slicing is not zero effort. It's unfortunate anyone has turned this issue into bickering over the vague concept of what is worthwhile to an individual playing this game. Slicing is absolutely a valid, common activity among many other activities in TOR. The concept of botting and hacking being valid activities, however, is not vague at all. Would it not be fair to say there there is unanimous agreement among players (in contrast to bots/hackers) that these are unwelcome? So does the nerf really do *zero* to stop bots? (Not being pedantic here with your quote. I confess to just finding it an interesting point from which to expand.) I can't help but wonder if the ongoing efforts to identify and eliminate gold sellers might involve some regular (and intentionally conspicuous) adjustments to the slicing game. I can certainly see how altering the attractiveness of something to a bona-fide player might help increase the signal-to-noise ratio.

It does leave us scratching (and butting) our collective heads to a degree which seems perverse. Can't help try and figure out what they're thinking in the absence of any explanation at all. I guess i'm slightly and pleasantly surprised they even wrote in these patch notes that a loot nerf was intentional. There have been so many past changes unaccompanied by official word already! Could they just be continually using slicing as a bot/hack detection matrix? With these regular tweaks to the sensitivity they're seeking?

There is a circular terminal in your Alliance base in the same little bedroom where you periodically click on the Commander Datapads. (There's a protocol Droid sweeping the floor perpetually.) The terminal doesn't glow, but you can R-click it. It gives you multiple warnings and will only let you retrieve one companion at a time, but it's fairly straightforward. You get whoever you want from your original crew back, and it won't interfere with any future "storywise" reunion.

Mounts. I think you have 180 of them.

20:05 EST 2016-02-05 Kicked off Jedi Covenant, but after exiting client and restarting, I cannot even log into the main selection screen.

Although it isn't exactly the same texture or pattern, Basic Women's Tank is a "crop tank" just like the default underwear top that covers "disrobed" female toons, except that one can dye it to suit. The bigger difference, however, is the cost! You can buy it from the Esstran Exports Reputation vendor on fleet if you have the reputation and Cartel Certificates for it, gamble with Cartel packs, or buy from another player on the GTN. I can't say that it is anywhere near as affordable as those Tatooine-level drops , but people do sell the Basic Women's Underwear Set for varying amounts of credits. Apart form that, I'd love to know of any other crop tanks myself! Good question...

I lol'd ^ Yes, OP. High time for another purge. I can make up original names every day and twice on Wednesday, but I lost some dear names when servers merged and I loved them. If there's a chance I can have them back, I'd like the opportunity to get them back. Inactive squatters are inactive squatters. Nobody really loses with another purge.
