I'm a motivated, driven, ambitious self starter who has recently returned to the sector after some time spent away, dealing with challenging interpersonal situations, diplomatic disagreements, and large scale territorial disputes in other sectors...for the highest bidders. I am a firm believer in "The victors write the history books". Also looking for good health benefits. I believe my unique skills, grasp of complex corporate politics, and ability to work in tense and challenging environments would be of great benefit (and yield great profits) to Czerka. 1) Successfully mediated (with considerable prejudice) a territorial dispute between a multi-race/multi-cultural alliance and an entity known as Zhaitan. 2) Acted on behalf of a secret cabal, known as "The Illuminati", to further their interests and prevent invasion of their sector by a powerful outside interest known as "The Elder Gods". This was done with minimal visibility (as per employer specifications). 3) Infiltrated large group, under cover, of territorial black and white bear-like creatures (referred to , indigenously, as "pandas") and, at the right time, turned on them (slaughtering many) in order to effect positive world change. Full disclosure: This was not done on contract....this was a personal milestone for me (accomplished while "on vacation"..sorta like those "great hunts".). I really, REALLY, hated those pandas... Through considerable planning and, when necessary, blood shed. Some would say treachery (though that's a matter of perspective...and given I was successful, their perspective doesn't really matter, since they're likely dead). If you prefer "whatever it takes"...that's apt. So long as you're not really asking for the details of "whatever". You might not be able to handle the truth....and most employers prefer to maintain an essence of plausible deniability. My moral compass points squarely toward my wallet.....because nobodies morals ever paid to repair their weapons and armor. Depends. Are you paying me to keep my colleagues safe and productive? Is the experiment valuable to the company? Which of those two carries a higher priority? Is the experiment classified (as in, nobody sees it an lives)? If so, I take those factors into account and do what you're paying me to do. I might even enjoy it a little. Assuming none of the factors, above is pertinent and I'm left to my own devices: I first ensure that I'm standing near the safest and furthest egress (because why shed blood...especially mine, if there are no credits to be made?) from where the fireworks will ensue. Then I wait. And watch. Because if it's unstable and dangerous enough to cause significant damage at the reception, it's likely unstable and dangerous enough for, at some point, that someone will want to pay me to kill it. When that happens...it's good to know your enemies tactics, weaknesses, habits, and general fighting style. When I've learned enough (or there appears to be imminent danger), I make my exit.....stage left.

I think I just finished the DL (about a gig-ish). That is, unless there was a sizeable patch released yesterday in prep (client was current as of Tuesday evening). Lets see if there's another "update" to it when the servers go live in a couple hours.

Torhead also has the most recent version of the PTS notes posted, for posterity sake: http://www.torhead.com/patch/1.2 I agree, though. There should be a way to access the patch notes during maintenance, here on the SWTOR site. Either the most recent version of the PTS notes, or a "preview" version of the live notes. Making the PTS notes inaccessible during maintenance seems a strange idea. I know they were able to be viewed, yesterday.

Anyone else?

You're misunderstanding. The email comes through saying the auction expired. There ARE credits attached. There is no item (and there is supposed to be). This isn't about the "You've sold an item and you'll get your credits in an hour" email that goes out for quick selling items. I've gotten those and, simply by reading them, know what to expect. This is about emails from the AH (and, apparently, players and missions) that SHOULD contain both credits and items....but show up with ONLY the credits (or don't show up at all).

Good thing I spelled it out in the title, eh? As for why? Because in every other game, it's called an Auction house (AH). So, when talking to a broad audience, I used the broadly known MMO term. Again...let's leave the semantic discussions to another thread. Feel free to start it.

Funds seem to come through OK on sold items (at least, I think they are...unless the emails are getting swallowed whole and I'm not noticing). It's expired auctions....the items don't seem to come through all the time. You'll get an email saying the auction has expired...it will have credits attached (a refund of your deposit), but no item. And as soon as you snag the credits, the email auto deletes. In addition (and I'm sure related), some mission emails come through with credits...but not the items mentioned in the emails. Other users have reported sending emails with items and credits attached to alts...and having them never arrive. The last two, above, obviously have nothing to do with the AH/GTN, though.....

If those of you having problems could ALSO post in the Customer Service thread that I linked in the first post, that would be great. The more people they hear from, the quicker (I'd guess) they'll take action. Again, until they confirm the bug is fixed....I'm not using the AH/GTN. Not worth potentially losing the items over.

Then feel free to do just that. And I'll use terminology I think most players will understand, for now, considering the infancy of the game. Then we can get back to discussing, and informing folks, about the topic...and not semantics. Deal?

I'm not too worried...thanks for the concern, though.

Again, semantics. Did you not understand the topc? 'Nuff said. Troll elsewhere. Thanks for the bumps, though.

It's an economy of language that every MMO gamer will understand....rather than listing all the various institutions in SWTOR (Galactic Marketplace, Hutt Hub, and Imperial whatever). Seriously, though...semantics?? Does it REALLY matter what we call it? Did you not understand, clearly, what was being talked about?

Until yesterday, I was in the same boat. Had some mission emails with only creds (that mentioned items) and figured they'd just not finished itemizing yet. Come to find out...there WERE supposed to be items. I've now had about 6 expired AH auctions that have returned only credits. Not sure if there were any "sold" items that disappeared into the ether or not....

Here's the thing: Many of those mission emails you're getting creds from...are also supposed to include items. Read the emails closely. I've also had 2 or 3 mission emails that had creds...but not the items mentioned in the message.

' Turn off sprint when trying to get to them....helps a ton. Which two on Nar are you having a problem with?
