Hey thanks for the info. I will look on the GTN for the schematics. Edit: I looked.. there are no schematics for artifice on the GTN at all! Just another of the numerous flaws and inconsistencies in the game to date! Still, this is a ridiculous flaw in the artifice crafting table. Why are these schematics missing from the trainer in the first place?

Why are there are no schematics to craft shields for Sith Assassin tanks? There are shield schematics for every other tank in the game. I am forced to rely on the GTN to acquire level appropriate shields or pray for a lucky world drop. Is this purely an oversight by Bioware or intentional? It's amazing how broken some of the professions are, they could have surely patched in some schematics by now.

^This Thanks for understanding the whole point. All they really have to do is allow us to continue to enter the instance after the last boss is dead. It can't be more than a few lines of code. I really don't see what the big deal is. We are already locked out from running additional instances that day. The physical lockout makes no sense and adds a level of frustration to the game that is not necessary.

They MOVED this OUT of the customer service forum? WOW! Thanks for applying the correct punctuation to my complaint. !!!!!!!!!!! This IS NOT ABOUT FLASHPOINTS.. THIS IS ABOUT THE LACK OF FAITH IN CS THAT MANY OF US, IF NOT THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS HAVE!

This is it exactly. There is absolutely ZERO reason to not be allowed to re-enter the instance since we are already locked out from completing the quest for another day! What if the group skipped trash and wanted to go back in and clear some more? We are locked to this instance why can we not re-enter if it pleases us? They should at least enable a droid rez on the last boss this may help solve the issue.

Yes, I was being pissy. I apologize.

My wife was alive. when she clicked on the boss at the end she was killed. Everyone who does not "zone out" during an encounter is eligible for loot. Your premise is flawed and you know it. The entire group died as the boss died, except for my wife who was killed by clicking on his corpse. Since I helped kill him I deserved loot. Have you not played MMO's before? Let me guess, you have also never died during a boss encounter? Next time you die during a boss encounter you will "pass" on loot right? If you do not, and since you say this is how the game was designed you would be breaking the games ToS agreement by looting. Am I correct? Please, anyone who ridicules me for being unhappy about this sort of design flaw and persists in defending the game design either: a) suffers from a heightened level of Fanboism (this could be serious) or b) can not recognize this as a serious flaw in the games design. This is a customer service forum. If you come here to troll CS issues I genuinely feel sorry for you.

I'm not insulting anyone. This is a ridiculous flaw. I have been playing since beta like many others. I guarantee two things: 1) My ticket will be closed by a droid. 2) The issue will not be fixed by anyone. Bioware CS has been unanimously ineffective (ask anyone who's opened a ticket), and does nothing from my experience so far in game to actually address customer complaints. Being patronized by a DROID is insulting to say the least.

Does not matter this should be fixed... coding is hard... making a game work properly ... priceless

Why? I have never felt that way in other MMO's.. This was my message to the CS bot... I was in a 4 man hard mode with my wife and 2 people from our guild. At the last boss we all died at the same time that the boss died. It would not let us re-enter the instance to loot the boss. THE BOSS DIED... WE KILLED HIM... WE CAN NOT LOOT HIM.. ARE WE THE FIRST GROUP THIS HAS HAPPENED TO? I THINK NOT!!! If you complete the quest.. I can understand not being able to continue in that quest line... However, not being able to loot from an instance because a quest was completed is an issue! Please include this in your laundry list of problems DROID... people love this game... but in all honesty, even those of us that love it know that it sucks because of all the bugs... This game will die and you... you DROID, will be DEACTIVATED unless this **** gets fixed. Can Droids read basic, I honestly don't know but at least I spoke my mind.

let me guess your outside? right now? I was outside earlier in the hot tub... snow falling... landing in my coffee.

vanilla WoW was featureless, buggy and clunky. This game is one week old, runs very well, is feature rich, and already patched. They actually fixed the resource nodes. They are addressing questing/progression fixes. The GUI will hopefully be addressed more aggressively in future patches. I think they (BW) are doing well with their FIRST MMO. Bioware - Please open a suggestion box forum where we can share our two cents in a constructive way.

maybe you should take some time off while they patch a 7 day old game.

My wife and I bought 2 CE's and 2 DDE's and will be paying $15 US dollars x4 each month... I already had a shower thanks.

Sort of glad I have another 34 minutes of life yet... trying to finish an essay for finals..

Nov. 19th... still waiting

My wife just got in on the 9am CST wave. Her date is November 3rd. Mines Nov. 19th... still waiting

Anyone know if add-ons have been addressed by the developers yet?

Delivery Estimate: Friday December 16, 2011 Shipping Soon Star Wars: The Old Republic Collector's Bundle Sold by: Amazon.com LLC I love it! Still waiting for EGA... hopefull today. Any word on waves?

ESB NH PM RoS RoJ CW thats what my kids say... and my wife... who can argue

Thanks for the welcome! I believe in this game and its potential. Our kids stopped playing WoW long before we did... it will be fun to play again! My wife and I are both hoping for a mature community. We know that takes time! Wishing the best for all, can't wait to get in-game!

My wife sits right next to me, we only scream because of my brobdingnagian speaker system.

thanks for community support... how is WOW part of this conversation, besides the fact that I mentioned it? We are looking forward to an invitation thanks for the troll. Let me know what serve you all join so I can avoid.

My wife and I have been waiting all day for invite... we know we pre-ordered late... kids are excited too... we have pre-ordered 4 copies. When the whole family played WoW we had 7 accounts active at once... my 3 accounts are dead, save one.. my wife's two accounts are dead, save one... over all, we are ready for the transformation... we loved the BETA. I hope I get in tomorrow... :-)

I will be reborn, my skin will tingle, my mind and soul will be enlivened.. I dream, yet, I will be born again.... Purge your demons in anticipation of the next 2-8 years you spend on this game. I can't play WoW, Skyrim, or BF3anymore... I want SWTOR! I am hopeful... this morning I was disappointed... once again I am alive with anticipation! I think the devs are doing a great job with invites... I can't wait though, and it is frustrating... I send my hope and best regard to the SWTOR community and developers... lets hope we can stick together!
