A fundamental bug is with Underworld Trading - it gives orange recipes for Armormech and Synthweeving for opposed faction ONLY!!!! What is the bloody point in that?!?! Please add this bug to OP's initial post and see to it's correction in 1.2, it's just fecking silly! When does this get stickies already?!??

Things have developed up to a drastic state on our server. At any given time, there are more of my guildies online than players on any given planet and sometimes - than on fleet. We are a top Rep guild who stay faithful to the game, who continue to grind the HM/Nightmare Ops (16man), who continue to give the Imps a good WZ thrashing from time to time. Problem is, there is just us and another 8man-raid-based guild who you ever see around on Kellian Jarro Republic, and a handful of casual players. Things are only that much better for the imps on our server. I have 4 chars, two of which I am still lvling, with barely another player on a random planet to be seen, even on Coruscant you will never get a response to a heroic LFG. Chat radiosilence has become common even at Carrick. BIOWARE, PLEASE, it is very much called for you to comment at least on one of the following: - what are your precise plans for server merge (especially Kellian Jarro); - what/when will be done to bring back players to our once thriving server, besides the odd crystal/speeder vendor, that is hardly to be considered an incentive in that sense (eg. my lot don't actually care for either). I would very much ask for someone in authority to state something. Perhaps Mr. Zoeller, who has become active on the forums as of lately? Time to act is NOW. - a faithful fan.

^ This^ That's all I need for my Sawbones, too. He just does pure healing and that's it, no defensive/protective stuff at all, even through proc. Sage is...sage, 'nuff said, but even my Commando gives an armor buff through AMP and grants substantial damage reduction buff up to 3 (I.e. entire FP group) targets with KB dropped after SCC. That leaves us Smugglers the only thoroughly helpless main healer and leads to subsequent wipes in high-tension combat situations. Imagine Kaon Under Siege FP, 1st boss (the hordes of Rakghouls), you get constantly CC'd and your applied SRMP HoTs are just not enough when your breaker is down. A protective buff could give you those precious milliseconds to save a teammemeber. Please give us our protective buff(s), Bioware!!!

Sir, that is a load of poppycock. Only very skilled Sage/Sorc outheal me on WZ, and then not more than by 10 k. Straighten your hands out or reroll Sage

I was exactly that guy from the trailer until hitting 50 yesterday and getting Columi chestpiece off Soa. This just destroyed my game, 'cause in shear seconds I went from a brutal-looking mustachioed underworld sawbones to a red-caped circus performant with signs of cheapish Marvel comics superhero designers' interference. Gonna spend the 50 k to rip out the mods and stick'em in my exceptional medic's suit, bypassing the set bonus completely. Thanks again Bioware!

So is it just me, or Smuggler end-game gear, PVP and PVE alike, design-wise is a God-awful pig-ugly imitation of a poorly bred late 19th century Tijuana backstreet drunkard pretentious to becoming Zorro-of-the-hood? The gear I had throughout leveling was all noteworthy and each set had it's charm one way or another. Then you turn 50 and all 6 (!!!) sets are the same dull look with color variations? Now how fair is that? My Commando gets a very stylish cyberpunk spiky outfit for PVP and a Hoth-ish stormtrooper PVE set, which is cool. But this? Why make a joke of endgame Smugglers?

Revonin, TYVM for sharing your experience. I will definitely follow through with my ticket now. Coming to think of this turn-point reward bug, I remember now that on my Commando there was a similar situation upon having finished a key storyline quest I only got some cash and XP, and that had me becoming outrageous. Keep your eyes peeled, guys, don't let the system mug you! PS: as this has now been proved to be game bug and not our fault I shall insist that the case not be counted among the 3 item returns within 6 months bullsiht policy (where on Earth did they get that idea anyway?!). Will write back as soon as their response arrives. PPS: worth mentioning that on WoW, at least on our Russian servers, customer service reacted to item-bug related issues just within 2-3 hours upon ticket posting, and would restore the item immediately, having studied appropriate logs. It did NOT take them 2 weeks to do so, they did NOT have any limitation policies. Please liase with Blizzard, Bioware, customer support should be a lot more efficient if you allow for such discouraging bugs.

Will you implement dual-spec option with the big March 2012 patch?

That should be awarded Smuggler Quote of the Year, fantastic xD

I'm 50 now and, not having found this gun in-game, went to see the forums for it's location. And -DUH- just today found out it was the Act I completion prize. I DISTINCTLY remember no getting anything aside cash&XP&Corso-limited Torchy. Gonna open a ticket the minute I get home, suggest you do the same.

Damn I was never offered anything of the likes at the end of Act 1! There was Cash, XP, and Corso-usable Torchy only! Bioware give me my six-cannon back, I'm the only Scrapper left on my server, and to be fecked over like that!!!

Dude if u don't appreciate your orange-grade belts just send them to me =) Sold at 1o0ok credits on my server 0_o

Lvl 40 Scoundrel here, seconding OP on initial statement. Didn't go to PVP/WZ until yesterday's nerf bat, but than tried it and found it to be .. ok really, 1x1 I owned everyone 'cept Sith Juggernaught =) it was him that showed me KO's new-acquired bug - on applying Shoot First he lept across half of Huttball field just to fall knocked-out mid-air, making himself obviously unreachable for me with Disappearence Act on cd, standing up and thrashing me to *****. Please address this issue, Bioware, you owe it to Scrappers!! Next Tuesday's patch would do nicely, just PLEASE no more mid-Saturday downtimes!

OMG THANK YOU!!! And there I was spamming tickets to GMs saying *** happened to my beard xD

Hello everyone! Just rolled a Scoundrel and really loving it! Decided to make him my main in place of my raid-hardened Commando. But more to the topic: this magnificent class has his shotgun which makes him so much more roguish and scoundrel-like, however we do no whitness him carrying it outside of appropriate ability activation. This IMHO puts our model design in great disadvantage to the wild-west style Gunslinger with his two six-shooters at his waist. I thus propose a simple but very characteristic change to the Scoundrel's model shotgun out of combat/ability activation: simply strap it to the side of his left leg (it size allows it)! It just seems SO easy but would completely turn Scoundrel around! Would love to see some comments and support to convince the devs! TY everyone!

Sorry to have to open a new thread, but they closed the previous one. I don't usually waste time posting or furthermore trolling the forums here or anywhere else but these people have hit my personal boiling point this time. I completely LoVE the game, it is obvious how much care and effort was invested into it by numerous professionals. I love it even more for being the game of which I dreamed as a child first seeing Empire Strikes Back in the mid 80s. I am ready to forgive it all possible bugs, glitches and exploits (which I don't personally use because am proficient in credit/valor-grinding the honest way), Ilum post 1.1 etc. (my char is a lvl50 Commando AS with approx. 2 mil. credits nowhere left to spend). What I am no longer prepared to tolerate is the abhorrent disrespect of the company to non-US, and furthermore, past-CET zone dwellers. I am Russian and can tell you there is a substantial amount of Russian and Eastern European players on our server (Kellian Jarro EU). This post is not about your massive pre-launch campaign in Russia, EA/Bioware, which you quite forecastably made in Russian and then launched the game not only without even so much as text localization OR support for in-chat Cyrillic typing (how EFFIN' hard is THAT?!). It's not about your Customer Suppurt ignoring 3 in-game tickets I sent you on the same elementary issue for 78 (***?!?) hours, or a range of other equally inexplicable instances of ignorance/malovant disregard. It is about the one thing that makes me want to turn my Autocannon to you and explode it with righteous vengeance and furious anger - the way you keep shutting the servers for your GMT+3/4/5 customers, which most oftenly happens at their peek HM/Raid/Warzone activities at applied shutdown time. I loved your game instantly so much that I specifically took a vacation just to enjoy it, and SPLAT - you respond with downtimes for most of my daylight hours of the week immediately following New Year. Your American clientele will predictably backlash to this post with valuable observations about inevitable post-launch intensive trouble-shooting - I will disregard that as they happen to sleep through that exact time and not be subject to this apalling attitude. Today's patch-to-patch-that-patch just completely obliterated me. Thaks to that I can't play even after work... Why the **** can you not downtime EU servers separately?! WHAT is the *********** point of them BEING EU servers otherwise?! Or is your ultimate aim to dump the whole EU client base completely in the eventuality of you growingly poor patching & support efforts?! You forum guys can go on with your traditional vodka-bear-balalaika jokes and comments, but companies with complete disregard for foreign clients in my country do not last long enough to make their first EBITDA. And please EA/Bioware, do not insult our intellect with your incoherent dribbling "aiming to keep downtimes to a minimum blah-blah" copypaste cliches. You technical/support people have completely ruined this by far most magical and drawing Galaxy the MMO community has ever seen. Best of luck with your further expansion into the world market.
