Umm...yep. Apparently Qyzen has the the power to summon a full-size Mako during the companion quest "The Bounty Hunter's Daughter." Screenshot

Howdy! We are two active, currently-casual players looking for a new guild to call home. We've been playing since launch in a small guild made up of friends and alts, but with 2.9 looming, we're looking to find an active, friendly environment where we can contribute and fully experience the content of the game. Though we're currently only playing TOR (and plan to keep it that way), we both have several years of raiding experience in WoW and more limited experience in nearly every other MMO out there. I personally have all 8 Imperial classes at 55 and have all professions maxed. I prefer my Marauder and DPS Assassin, but am willing to concentrate on another class/role if it would benefit the guild. Other player has 6 Imperial 55s (most experience on Juggernaut tank and Operative DPS/heals) and all professions maxed. We're both looking to focus on PVE content with casual raiding (and occasional PVP). Thanks for looking, and we hope to hear from you soon.

I hadn't noticed the issue with looting on my Operative (due to Backstab already messing the effects up), but I've definitely noticed it now on my Mercenary with Balmorran Hand Cannon Besh equipped.

Can we at least get an acknowledgement of this bug? This thread seems to be related to the issue, though personally I've only encountered it as described in my first post.

I apologize if this has been brought up already, but I couldn't find any threads on it--and only one vague mention of a similar issue (second post in this thread) back in December 2012. I've noticed that on my Operative, all of the graphical effects on Mantellian Peacemaker Grek disappear after using Backstab and stay gone as long as I remain in combat. This doesn't appear to be an issue with my settings, as friends can observe the same thing happening to the model on their own screens. Can't speak for anyone else, but when I pay extra for a Cartel Market item with special effects, it feels like a huge waste when those effects don't even show up most of the time.

Why the hell was this moved from Customer Service to General Discussion?? O_o Nice to know they can be bothered to move a thread, but not address it in ANY way...

Ridiculous... Total wait time last time I crashed ended up being about an hour and 40 minutes. Played with no issues for a half hour or so, crashed again, got right back in. Crashed AGAIN less than a minute after. Annnd back in queue I go. Wonderful. Really.

Just went over an hour and a half trying to get back into Mind Trick. :/ I'd be tempted to cancel my preorder as well...except Amazon already delivered ours, heh.

I've been patient with all the bugs and crashes and disconnects so far. Hell, I'm even okay with the queue times...if it's my first time logging in. But no grace period is just insulting and ridiculous.

Or just get yourself an awesome boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/cat/dog to log you in before you get home, like I'm doing for my boyfriend? Not that it matters much, when I keep ending up in queue myself due to crashes and disconnects...

My game has crashed multiple times today, and if there's a "grace period" for logging back in, it's certainly not very reliable. :/ Sometimes I get right back in, and other times (like now), I'm stuck waiting behind 900 people. This is something that should've been addressed in beta, imo.
