Yeah, I didn't check the price before going in last time... I will this time for sure. **If the link/post can be found for that online $35 deal, that would work just fine!

Yeah, the new price is supposed to be $30. I DO in fact have a GameStop close by, but last I checked (about a month ago) they were still trying to sell it to me for the original price! I'll check back with them. **I agree about the "original CE" owners getting screwed pricewise, but what can you do right? I know it's not the exact same thing, but I feel that way about myself and everyone else that "earned" their Battlemaster PVP armor before they put it up for everyone to get. If I can get the CE for $30, then I will feel like I "returned the favor"!

I can't find the Collector's Edition ANYwhere!? (at the new reduced price) I read that they are now cheaper than when first offered, but there is not a store anwhere (in my area anyhow) that sells it?? The same article stated that particular stores would have it..... but they don't.

Wait, you all are getting wait q's ? My server screen still shows offline for all servers. Guess I will try the "repair" option on the initial login screen **Post Edited: If you are getting a message that states "servers are all offline", use the "fix" button on your game login page.

Isn't it a general rule of thumb to take out the healer first?

Today (08/24/2012) at 9:02pm EST - Canderous Ordo Imperial Fleet, trying to join pvp zone... after clicking "join", I remained on a frozen fleet for approximately 5 minutes, then was taken to loading screen..... waited there for approximately 5 minutes and was prompty booted out of game????? come on guys, seriously?

Today (08/24/2012) at 2pm EST/EDT in the PVP Warzone voidstar, on the Canderous Ordo server - After warzone ended, multiple players to include myself were hung up in the warzone still after clicking "exit". This happened multiple times yesterday, but today I am providing the date/time/server information requested. I remained in the zone for appr. 4-5 minutes, not sure if I should log out/log back in or just wait it out. It finally let go of me, but then came the wait time in the "return to fleet" screen..... nope I got dropped and got the error "player can't be accessed, etc due to maint." etc etc. Now I am at server selection screen, but it doesn't let me back on the server, I get the same error message as stated above.

Maybe in terms of crafting engame gear you are correct, as I don't do much of that. However, let me tell you, I make a good bit of money in armormech, crafting lower/mid level gear for those players still leveling. I'm sure I speak for the better percentage of players when I say that I was ALWAYS looking for the BEST gear as I progressed through the levels. So craft and RE that green gear and get some blue / purple gear on the GTN, as well as the "popular" orange gear that players are after to "look good". (Either leave it empty or fill it with mods for a better price) Just a thought, not disagreeing with you at all though, so please don't reply upset or mad.

I just entered an "in-game" ticket for this. Glad to see it wasn't just a "bad/glitched" schematic that I alone was having problems with.

No..... YOU don't get it. BW is doing what's right and NOT rushing things because someone wants to qq yet again because it's not happening THEIR way. Relax, we will all get our turn. ** and yes, I spent a lot of money for this transfer too ( I spent 400k, I really did NOT want to spend, on another storage bay to pull everything I had for sale off of the GTN and out of my mailbox. ) Am I upset about it? Do I even know for sure if I will be a server allowed to transfer? No. But it's ok.... better safe than sorry. Try looking for the positive instead of the negative in these situations.

I am quite happy that BW took just a couple of servers to begin with. Had they thrown everyone into the mix all at once (or even just a larger group of servers on day one) ...... and things started to "bug out"..... all these whiners would then REALLY have a case for whining. As it is, all of you should be thankful that you are not the guinea pigs - JUST IN CASE something goes wrong. We are ALL in a hurry to get to a more populated server, to include myself. But NOT at the cost of something going terribly wrong with my character transfer! So be patient, all of our times will come and before you know it groups and pvp q's will be popping. I do have one question though if someone out there has an answer. The majority of servers listed on TOR server status are listed as .98 population. Thinking surely there is a "more" broken down stat showing some difference in those servers. Is there a link to see a bigger swing in pops than .98?

Ok, so I just leveled up slicing on my ALT (for my main that runs Treasure Hunting / Artifice) I have not seen but 1 or 2 Treasure Hunting Missions during that process?? My companion is Andronikos Revel, who has +2 in Slicing Crit. and he is maxed out on affection. I am at level 40, so maybe in the next 10 ranks it will pick up, I dunno. Are you slicing "cash boxes" or "tech parts"? And which level missions? "bountiful", "rich", "abundant", all of the above ? I can't believe you got that many!

I love it when a thread poster has to start backpedaling, and using the old "L2P" because they think it sounds so macho hahaha! Get a clue and find some new terminology My point has been made, thank you for playing, I am moving on.

Sounds like your daytime pubs are crying, stop making excuses and trying to change the subject to "premade vs pugs". You're losing your own argument

guilds like mine etheral There, thank you for making my point. So you're saying that when Pub "premades" play "pugs", pubs win...... REALLY?? So what you are also saying is this - that when it's pugs on pugs throughout the day, pubs get trounced. So the conversation comes full circle, back to the point that there is a lot of misinformation in this thread about pubs just "being better players". It's obviously untrue. (We are not discussing premades vs pugs here, that's another discussion for another thread.) Point made, have a nice day.

I haven't seen any of these so called "pub guilds", all the pubs I see after 8:30 fall at my feet : ) Besides, I think we all know that a premade runs better than pugs anyhow, so that would hold true of a premade Imperial team taking down pub pugs as well.... why even bring up a useless point? I am not any of the above mentioned players, so please don't trash talk them on my account. Again...... only pubs I have seen on at night can't figure out how to use anything except their stun button and heal button..... rocket science right? LOL

Actually there are a lot of incorrect answers listed here. The republic players are most definitely NOT better players than the imperial players. (Mind you I can only speak in ref. to the server - Assassins of Sion) The difference in the matches on this server is due to the fact that Rep's use a ton of healers, while the Imp's choose to use strictly (or atleast majority) straight forward fighters. If the imperial side chose to fight with the mirror classes of what the Rep's are using, the Imp's would be ruling every battle. Vice versa, take away the healers from rep side and they lose BIG. Just ask anyone who has seen the scoreboard at the end of a pvp match between the two factions...... damage inflicted by the Imp's VASTLY out weighs the damage done by the Rep. side. The Rep's don't know how to fight, they just stand around spamming their stun and heal buttons.... period. The Imp's have simply chosen not to waste time rerolling classes and leverage the other aspects of the game. Again, it may be a different story on other servers.

Hey XenobiusLT - Did that schematic drop from a random group in the Black Hole Daily, or the Heroic 4?

RayJ & Dawginole - WOW I WAS confused! : ) *well partially anyway..... I had no idea that you could create the +41, but had to have BOTH stones to create from (2 of the shard in fact). Thank you for straightening me out on that. I was under the impression that one schematic took one stone and the other schematic simply required the other stone. Well that certainly clears that up. Now if I could just get Infected Trapjaw to drop the lower level schematic, I would like to create a couple of the lower end crystals for the newer players to purchase on the GTN. I have taken him down twice in two days and nothing yet.

That's exactly what I am saying, this shard everyone is talking about locating (and refining) is NOT used in the creation of the +41 crystals! The +41 crystals creation require you to acquire the crystals from the ghost on Ilum. I have a +41 schematic and TRIED to create a +41 crystal from the shard on Alderaan (yes, after I refined it) and it does NOT work. The artifice creation window shows that you have ZERO available to create from, if you are only holding the "refined shard/crystal" from Alderaan.

To refine on the Imperial Side, take your shard to Korriban on the far west end of the Lower Wilds (behind the wall). You will see a glowing blue "refiner" attached to the back side of the wall. Hope that helps!

So does the shard create the +31 or the lower/mid-level +16 crystal? According to Shaneglass, below, it makes the +16 crystal and that schematic might can drop from Infected Trapjaw? Perfect, going after that infected SOB I KNOW for a FACT that the magenta shard from Alderaan does NOT create the +41 crystal, I tried and the schematic says I don't have the right stone ( I have the shard crystal, but NOT the Ilum crystal that it wants)

To refine on the Imperial Side, take your shard to Korriban on the far west end of the Lower Wilds (behind the wall). You will see a glowing blue "refiner" attached to the back side of the wall. My question is this, " Which level stone does the shard create..... therefore which schematic do you use and where to get that schematic?" I have tried creating a +41 stone and that does not match up. I have heard that Ulgo the Siegebreaker, on Alderaan drops a ~+13? magenta schematic. Is this the one needed for this shard, to created a crystal from it? If not, the only other thing I have heard about is a VERY random drop of a +31 crystal schematic, from the Heroic 4, in the Black Hole on Corellia. Anyone know for sure which stone this shard creates, to match up with the schematic?

/signed Couldn't agree more. Just because my team gets pounded into the ground does not mean I am fighting any less hard. So when I have "damage points, protection points, objective points, and awards points" on the scoreboard at the end of a match, imagine my surprise when I am "REWARDED" with ZERO valor, exp, credits, etc ! (This happened twice yesterday, and maybe it's because I was in the new warzone and it's bugged? I don't know) I have VERY much enjoyed SWTOR being my 1st MMO and PVP experience (to the point that I have grinded through a LOT of buttkickings in order to have just obtained War Hero rating *I don't belong to a group, I play solo). However...... I find myself not even wanting to queue at this point, afraid that I will be on the unfortunate losing end of a match, and once again be rewarded with ZERO..... thereby having wasted my time even playing the match. I hope it's looked into so that I, too, can go back to enjoying my 1st MMO/PVP experience! I do LOVE the game, win or lose :-)

Where is he? I was told he was across from the GTN, but I don't see him
