Just a quick note to say this just happened to my guildmate - so this is STILL a bug. Sigh...

User error!! Or perhaps connection error? I didn't have "tracked missions" up, so i didn't realize that the biggest of the turn-ins hadn't actually gotten turned in (even though I swear I clicked it). I am an idiot. Game is fine.

All 4 characters at 300? 3 Characters at 300 (Just like last time I made this run 2 weeks ago) Which planets did you complete? 1 planet area - Section X (Just like 2 weeks ago) What did the reward mission window say you were getting for CXP? What specific amount in each window? Gah! I didn't look, I just hit "send me there" - But the other planets still have the CXP amounts I'd expect/have gotten in the recent past. Do you have all 5 character perks for the 2% for all 4 characters that are at 300? No. But that's true of last time I ran this as well. Do you have the legacy perk under the Other window for 25% below CXP 300 for each base class up to 100% total below 300 CXP? Yep. Using the supreme command boost for the 100% or the regular command boost for 25% more? Superior (100%) All the crates Tier 4? If not which tier did you get? No - I'm still on 3. These are all actually great things to check. But my real answer to all of these is "same as 2 weeks ago", when I did get 10+ crates (as opposed to my 2 right now) - not sure what changed!

So, when "planetary missions" is the bonus of the day, I usually run my dailies. One of the planets then next me over 10 crates because I've got a CXP buff on AND I have 3 other characters at 300. Today, I got 2 crates. What changed? Is there a bug? (Yes, I made sure my buff was on, but even if it wasn't, I should have gotten more than 2 levels!)

Great = thank you. That saves me time. At first I thought I needed all the purple ones (planet missions too).

So I bought a Master's Datacron and am now at lvl 70 (wanted to add some variety when I run instances with my guild). If I want to collect all the "usual" companions one would acquire when going from 1 to 70 - do I just run all the class missions - or do I need to run all purple missions?

Some form of regulation/additional visibility would be good. But if you're worried about kids becoming addicted to gambling because of video games, here's a short list of things you should worry about before that (it makes very little difference that there is transparency into the odds to kids): Pokemon cards Shopkins Sports cards Funko Mystery Minis MTG cards My Little Pony cards I get that gambling can be an addiction. So can video games in general. In fact: (From http://www.addictionrecov.org/Addictions/?AID=45) So those of you looking to save the kids should probably work harder on shutting video games down as opposed to eliminating loot boxes.

Boo! So the best bonus for alts is the 25% XP boost? No other way to do it faster?

Was unaware of its existence (started playing again earlier this year). Is this something I can still attain? I read the "Light vs. Dark" blog post, which says I can attain it on new characters with the "LvD" logo on them...but none of my brand new characters have that. Did I miss out?

Thanks, all, for your replies! I'm not really adding anything new with this reply, only want to point out the one piece of info that Bio put in their Q & A that almost answers my question: Which makes sense...except they didn't answer my question. I did not "pay" for 52 character slots...I'm only good for 16 characters per server. Will I only be good for 16 per server after the merge as well? Or by creating 16 on two other servers before the merge, will I be good for 48. (The idea above makes sense - I'll be "locked in" to those exact characters until I actually purchase those slots. If I want a new character, I'll have to delete all but 15 to add one new one. (<-again - not adding much new to this discussion, just rephrasing the question after trying to digest the quote above.)

So I only have 16 characters, maxing out the slots on the one server I play on. I've always wanted to add more, but $600CC is a little steep for me (I spend PLENTY on this game monthly, in addition to being a subscriber. At some point, they may name a planet after me). Now that my server is being merged with two others, can I just create 16 more characters on those two servers, wait a month, then BAM - instant family of 48 characters without paying 600CC a pop? Or am I missing something?

Ah - ok. Thanks!

I'm a casual player, working to get command tokens to get my MK-3 gear set. I was about to purchase the last piece of my 7-piece set when I noticed my gear set won't be complete without "Ultimate Exarch Cuffs"...which the MK-3 vendor does not sell. How do I get these cuffs?

Saw another post stating they did, but no one responded to it. I'm assuming they don't, but would love to know before I purchase.

How many points does it take to get each level up? And can I lose a level after I gain it? (In other words - if I get enough points to get to Light I, then start acting bad, do I lose Light I?) I know this must have been asked before, but I can't find the answer - thanks in advance for your help!
