Thank you, thank you, thank you! Worked great.

Thanks. I'll try that in a bit.....

If anything, HOW can we get our original Companions back? And we cannot abandon the storyline, which I would gladly do!

So my wife and I have struggled with all the broken quests where when we do them together it won't update for one of us. We have to abandon the quest, drop group, then do it solo. Complete waste of time! Been doing this for months. NOW, we FINALLY get to level 77 and we are stuck on this stupid questline that has completely wasted the entire day just to find out we don't have our companions that we have spent months on and a ton of REAL money bumping up to 50. 5 level 50 companions GONE! We want to start over but cannot because our level 50 companions are not available on this character to craft our gear for any new characters we create. Does anyone know what's going on? WHY would SWTOR steal our money and ruin a good game like this?

Never mind! I forgot about the Valor Token rewards. We probably got one of those.

I was told, and read, that Valor points are "Per character" and not Legacy. However, my wife and I have been playing together for over a month and wanted to buy some color crystals from the PvP vendor. You have to be Rank 10 to use them and we both were rank 10 on a new character we created and was now around level 45ish. We have NEVER went to a Warzone and NEVER PvP. How did we get Rank 10 Valor without ever doing any PvP? We have now created a new character and have NO Valor to buy crystals. How was the above even possible? Thanks in advance. P.S. - Besides crafting them and buying from the PvP vendor, how can we get color crystals?

This is getting ridicules! I play with my wife and we could not help each other in story missions, so we created new characters of the same class. Now, we STILL cannot quest together most of the time. ONLY the first person in gets credit. The other MUST leave the instance, drop group, restart game, and reset the mission and do it solo. What is going on??? Our option right now is NOT to go into instances that turn blue, drop group, restart game and do it solo. No grouping at all for us. I read that this started with 7.0, "thought" they fixed it in 7.1, but it STILL persists! When is this going to be fixed??? Until then, we may just let our sub run out and play something else. We don't want to, but it's horrible! Please fix it?

I mean just getting there. The only way I've found to get to the designated area as a Republic on Mek'Sha is by running as far as I can, be killed and respawn in place, then running until hopefully getting there before being killed again. Can't find a non agro path.

Sorry, Republic and Empire.

I've been enjoying the event on all my characters every day except now I just realized all my light side characters are being cheated. First of all, why does my light side characters have to die at least once getting to the last spot on Mek'sha when my dark side characters don't have ANY agro getting to theirs? Level 75's always kill my light side characters instantly on the way. Second, ALL my Dark side characters get a Emperor's Chip when they finish all the event missions BUT NONE of my light side characters get one? They don't even get any Kingpin chips for ANY missions. Why does this event favor the Dark side over the Light side? Doesn't seem fair at all! This is consistent on all characters since the very beginning of the event and I'd like to know why?

Ahhhh! kk, thanks. I get it now. I'll have to work on that skill. I'm not used to playing a stealth class. I've always played a tank-n-spank class. lol. And got owned by the stealth classes. LOL.

I think I get it. 2 times then? Could 2 players possiblly be doing this then? My wife and I play side by side and take turns with certain abilities. Could 2 players be just taking turns? Also, This happens while I'm on my Imp charactger. So it's coming from the Rebel side. Whats the counterpart of Mind trap and what class? And the stealth? All my stealth's on my alts are not completely invisible. The only completely invisible is Force Cloak on my wife's Shadow. But it only lasts 10 seconds I think. How can players "stay" completely invisible for extended periods of time? I know I'm being a pest, but I'm just trying to be a better player in PvP because I keep getting hammered. lol.. Thanks in advance.

Then WHY when I took just one step I was stunned again, then again, and again. YES, 4 TIMES! It must have been 4 different coordinated players then, each taking turns. Other times it was 2 and 3 times in a row. Happens to my wife also ( we play together). If it's a cheat, say so and I'll drop it. However, if it's meant to be in-game, I just want to learn it so I can get good at PvP. As I said, It's a great strategy and works ( from personal experiance. lol ), but I just want to know who does it, whats the name, and the strategy?

Ok, first I must say that I have never liked PvP until this game. Now I love it. However, I'm still having serious issues with being stunned and beat to death constantly! lol I have played dozens of warzones trying to figure out how to do it myself and how to defend against it. BUT, here's my issue.... Whats happening is that Rebels are staying in an area completely stealthed. And I mean totally invisible for what seems minutes. Then, as I approach I get stunned for about 4 secs. ( Looks like I'm sleeping). When I can take 1 step, I get stunned again, then again, thgen again. One time it was 4 times in a row and NOBODY was around me. I'm assuming it was done "while" stealthed. And done 4 consecutive times. I have also been running in a safe area and stunned like this. NOBODY was around me. Now, I managed to see a couple of these players for a brief sec doing this to other players and that stun seems to be done by Shadows. But I rersearched the shadow and they CANNOT do what I've explained. How are they doing this??? ( Staying completely invisible for minutes, stunning while invisible multiple times, and never being seen? This is IRRITATING!!! I know it's what it's suppoed to do and I'm not upset at all, but I just want to learn how to do it AND defend against it. And help/advise?

Is there any word if we wil get a double exp weekend for the Xmas holiday? Every other game I know of always gets it for Xmas, the biggest gift giving holiday of the year. Most games have already turned it on starting this weekend. Is ours next weekend?

Played EQ2 for over 6 years. Yes, patches were short. However, Live updates and expansions ( like this update ) were commonly 10 to 12 hours or more. I remember one that was only up about 3 or 4 times totaling about 30 minutes in a 24 hour period. lol. Bottom line.....Large updates like this are not uncommon. We had them in EQ, EQ2, SWG, Vanguard, and even Rift. Why are people complaining about the time in this one? Just relax folks. Watch a couple movies or take a nap. The game will be up shortly.

Uh...Nope! They own that too. You only bought the license to use it. They have given you the disk so you can install "their" software.

Incorrect. Nobody "owns" any software or service except the creators. When you go to the store and "buy" software, you don't own it. You are being granted a license to "use" it by the creator for the price you paid. In this case, we are paying a monthly fee to "use" their service ( SWTOR ). Period! They can do anything they want with "thier" servers and software anytime they want and anything that is created with it ( our accounts and characters ) remains the property of them. If we are unhappy with their service, we have the right to stop paying them. This is the only recourse we have. Something similar to this is in the EULA ( End User License Agreement ) of every piece of software on the market. The only exception is public domain software. Geez... I got on a rant. Sorry! Anyway, Bioware owns everything and we don't. They own us! lol.

How do names cost money other than your sub? Anyway, there would be no problem with this. As for how it works would probably be like the server merges I've been through with 4 other MMO's. Keeping names were based on how old your character is. If there is a conflict with a name, the oldest character kept the name and the newest would get some random letters or symbols added to their name with the option to change it. So a name like "Alice" would end up like "XXAliceXX" I've been through SO many of these my wife and I make it a policy to create dummy characters with our names using all our slots as early as possible. So if there is a server merge, we would certainly get to keep our chosen names because of age. Then, when ready to play them, we delete them and quickly reroll the class we want.

Not easily available? They were at the top of the forum for weeks. Lets see, click the PTS forum, then click the topic. How was that hard to get too? The notes are HUGE! To post them here would require multiple pages in this thread. They will be available soon enough.

The patch notes have been posted and updated for weeks in the test server forum and only removed about 7 hours ago. If you were that interested in whats in 1.2, you had plenty of time to read them...all 28 printed pages of them. hehe. Yea, that much. HUGE update. I don't think there is one element of the game that wasn't modified in some way. OR, you could have played on test like I and others have done to experience the new content. Awsome stuff!

Yes. Since they are now bound to you, you can't trade them. Vendors will only give you a small fraction of what you paid for them though unfortunately.

Incorrect. Speeder licenses are decreasing yes, approximately by half. However the speeders themselves are increasing in price also. The offset will overall be cheaper though than it is now, even with the changes.

Why? It's only 1 gig. My wife and I downloaded the entire game ( over 20 gigs ) at the same time in less than 20 minutes. 1 gig shouldn't take you more than about 5 minutes or so. You shouldn't need the whole night to download it.

EXACTLY! I PvE only on a PvE server. I'm there because I don't PvP at all and don't want to or deal with the PvP'ers that "think" they are better than us and "demand" that things get changed to "their" way. Lets see... Commandos are killing them too fast in PvP so...nerf them? And I guess that the healers can't be killed fast enough by the Pvp'ers, so nerf them also! I hate PvP'ers!
