Well it's a business. If everyone stops "feeding the machine" SWTOR goes the way of SWG. It doesn't CHANGE. They just turn out the lights and move on to the next game. Current prices for all three CM companions on Jedi Covenant are between 14 and 30 M. Steep, but not out of reach of crafters or regular HM raiders. I craft for credits and bought all 3 for around 10M each early on.

Where exactly does it specify that ability X uses tech vs force? Wouldn't the proof of broken or not be in parsed stats? I've yet to see either side offer parsing data. It's possible, though, that no parser currently working measures companion stats. Anyone?

seriously doubt this will happen since so many cartel market speeders are just repainted versions.

I can't imagine they removed him on purpose.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I'll have to try again, but at least now I know I can do it.

I defeated the Exarch on Alderaan. I was not grouped, and used none of the alliance buffs, yet no achievement. Any idea what happened?

Gotta disagree. That is a HORRIBLE way to spend them. They cost 50 common crystals each, so you're basically getting one free crate per 10 heroics. There are no perks I'm aware of past level 10 with each alliance group. You'll get more mileage out of raising affection with one of your companions. With a high affection companion you can breeze through those heroics. Even if you're still in quest reward 178 gear from Rishii, if you're companion is above 25, they aren't very challenging until Voss.

New players don't have the Presence bonus for their companions, so it will be more challenging. I'd suggest upgrading every so often, especially if you get to a story quest fight that's tough to beat. My first time through (scoundrel- healer), I recall there was a fight on Tatooine I had huge problems beating. In fact, many of the boss fights for that toon were tough, all because of a lack of Presence. So if you're going to be frugal with gear, stop by the companion gift vendor.

I noticed that Skadge seems to have a slot open for an off-hand weapon. Is this a "bug" and unintentional, or can I equip something there? I don't think he was a dual wielder before so I'm thinking its a 4.0 bug, but thought I'd ask for confirmation. Thanks.

You can also supplement with trash gear off the GTN. While doing heroics to farm crates for Alliance, I pick up a lot of green and blue "vendor trash" which I list on GTN for default price. It's more than I'd get from a vendor, but it's probably less than I COULD get for some of it. It's not worth the hassle though to check the price for every piece though. You get cheap gear upgrades, and I get a little extra cash. Win, win!

Yep, sorry. Not everything refunds for it's purchase price. There should have been a pop-up warning you about that. Good news is, it's easy to pile those back up with Heroics, and you can sell the isotopes on the GTN.

Part of the reason it's against the rules to publicly shame someone like that is basically, you're making some huge assumptions based solely on observations. There's nothing you observe in-game that PROVES such an accusation.

He also likes to vanish if you level up mid-fight. This can be a major problem in a boss fight if you were relying on him for healing. I know there are kolto tanks, but the middle bosses in Blood Hunt (Jos and Valk) put them on the very edge and love to kick people off their platform. Sorry if this is off topic, but we are discussing buggy Jesusdroid issues.

You should be banned from even owning a computer just for bringing up speech bubbles.

Two weeks later, still not fixed. Seems like all you'd have to do it move the ability to the Legacy ability window instead of Mounts. Presto chango problem solved.

There is a work-around. Simply transfer one of your characters. Costs a few CC's (but not always, I'm not sure). He brings all of his legacy perks with him. Downside: If the name is taken on that server, you'll have to pick another.

Thanks for the tip. It's not actually misplaced. There is, in fact a blue clicky where it's indicated. Protected by a nearby silver mob. Next time I'm there, I'll look harder for the one you mention.

Seems to be one of those little glitches that doesn't always apply, and isn't going to get much attention.

Just like the title says.

Still not fixed after Tuesday's update. If I'm not mistaken there are only 6 irradiated rakgouls that spawn down there. Knock the walls out and add more groups of mobs. Cut the respawn down to 3 minutes. Change the elites outside in the {Heroic 2+} Knight Fall area to count towards {Heroic 2+} Mutations.

They all far flung and remote, but none require you loot an item at location A, drive half way across the damn planet to unlock a blue glow-box, then go all the way back to location A to hit a different glow-box to complete the quest.

Anyone notice you have to drive half-way across the planet and back to complete this one?

Yea, been noticing that too.

So it took a few weeks, but you finally got around to fixing the piles and piles of corpses. Now droids vanish before I can scavenge.

Amen! Couldn't have put it better myself! (And believe me, I've tried!)
