It's been around for at least a few months. Known bug? Dunno. Will it be fixed anytime soon? Most likely not; Saber Marshal's hood has been broken since 1.2 :'(

The conquest message for which guild controls the planet tend to get stuck on the screen. Does that count?

They must not be feeling well.

Seems not, though that was my best guess.

James Ohlen is back?

Aw man. I have some coins coming in later today. But I was pleasantly surprised it lasted as long as it did, and I certainly got a lot out of it.

Just remembered, you might actually be missing out on a lot of content. On your map there's a toggle that says "Show Exploration Missions". For some insane reason, this is toggled off by default. Turning it on opens up a whole lot of extra missions aside from the planetary/class ones.

Enjoy the game! And don't let the forums get you down, it has a lot of grumpalumpuses. Plenty of nice guilds filled with delightful people in the game though.

I was incredibly disappointed to see the monster back on Nathema. I was hoping after stuffing it in that box that was the end of it. To find out it had overcome Zash made me very disappointed. Zash for companion!

But who would want to play a race that gets pushed into the gutter by soldiers who laugh at them?

Jawas and rodians please.

Bravo. Way to set me straight. Give yourself a round of applause, you've earned it.

You're not missing anything. Every class has a basic attack that costs no resource, that's the closest thing you get to auto attacks. You'll rely on it early on, but as you get more abilities it becomes less important.

1. Just for regular play/leveling, no, stims are not important. Feel free to either use or vendor any you come across. 2. Adaptive gear is better than the stuff you get from missions if you keep it up to date, but you'll be perfectly fine just wearing reward gear too. Orange adaptive gear has the advantage of not looking crap though and you can keep a unified look all along. 3. Augments are additional upgrades you can slot into your gear, though first you have to either craft or buy an augment "kit" which you then apply to your gear at an Item Modification Station for a fee, and then you add an augment (again, which you've crafted or bought from other players) into that slot. You're better off not worrying about augments while leveling really.

I believe the fact we can't drop this mission is due to incompetence rather than malice. When it first came out, people who dropped or didn't get the mission for whatever reason was unable to re-acquire it. A hotfix was deployed before it was fully "fixed" to allow people to get it again and it seems the hotfix was to make it un-abandonable. And as with just about every issue that's considered "resolved" it will most likely never again get any attention or acknowledgement :\

Most likely you will have to choose between the two of them there and then in the recruitment mission. This is the case for Ashara; you get a popup informing you that resuming your romance with her will end any other romances.

I'd drop it too if I could. Not because I don't want to do the operation, but simply because I can't. I'm not in a guild that does operations, I have no intention of switching to one just to clear out my log, I've never seen anyone advertising an open spot for a DPS to come along for it and as recently as yesterday I was queued in LFO for over 5 hours without it popping. So yeah. Let me abandon it please. And take the redundant HK Weapons Protocol out of my mission item inventory while at it.

I hope it isn't like last year. Cause they forgot to add some previous items, said they'd get around to it, and then didn't >.<

You're going to have a really hard time with that one. As you're probably aware, it was taken out of circulation quite some time ago, at the same time as the character creation sets and several of the other original direct-sale-only ones (like say Clandestine Officer) if memory serves. Outside of it appearing as one of the daily "flash sales" or weekly featured ones, your best bet is whenever next they do a "almost everything" sale again.

I messed up. I also unlocked a few things (toys mainly) I shouldn't have. I ended up with only 8 coins before discovering Jarael's outfit is still locked, as well as a cool HZ-77 lightsaber in Legacy bank. D'oh!

It was mentioned in another thread too, but I guess it's easy for people to miss. The 50% discount on collections unlocks has arrived. No mention of it here on the official site and forums of course, as is usual.

Put the fleshy turd in the box. No more "Rarrgablargarargh Yn and Chabosh! You're not half as good as my lover, he took me to Yn and Chabosh. I miss him. When I break our bond I'll destroy you just like I destroyed things on YN AND CHABOSH!" nonsense. Good riddance.

I was hoping for a 50% discount on unlocks as well. Seeing as they never announce these things when they do them though, and considering they might be on USA's clock, I'll give it another few hours to hopefully pop up.

I wouldn't be terribly sad if Pierce's alert was auto-completed. Still no PvE option for it, so forever there making that UI icon flash

It's still required to queue for, but not win I think, pvp to get rid of the alliance alert for Major Pierce too, so I guess there's the odd player that will idle through to get that done too. Oh how I wish there was a PvE option for that, but I'm not suffering warzones or having them suffer me for it. Curse you to hell flashing alliance alert icon!
