I must be doing something wrong, somewhere. Any time I use the GTN there is nothing to buy or worth spending money on, all I ever see is a few low level greens and blues and the odd piece of high level gear. I have alts on three servers and the only way I can keep them outfitted is by working them together and sending upgrades and gear among them. I believe crafting is broken because of either low server numbers, or in my opinion, supply and demand. There's no real demand because people can get better gear through levelling, vendors or if they're lucky the GTN. No demand, no supply, no supply so there's no money to be made through crafting. It's my opinion that RE'ing and criting gear is so hit and miss or costly that people will tend to keep the really good gear they make or send it to an alt.

I've found once you reach Voss you need to have your gear as high as you can go, preferably you and your companion kitted in orange, bar the hard bits to acquire, belts and bracers. I stopped doing space missions near the start as i found I was over levelled for planets as a result of doing them with alts. I found it better to level a Cybertech alt, for armor and mod parts along with my main as the rewards for mission mods and armor are always under par. It's really better to have three alts levelling for up to date modification pieces if your main uses guns. As has already been said check you've done all bonus missions as you get some orange gear as the reward, it may also be advantageous to use a healer for Voss, there's also one really mean mission there which I think should be a Heroic 2 as the elite is a pita to beat.

I'm not speaking about slicing here, but in general, crit on mission and get everything, and by that I mean schematics for everything but the crafting profession you have chosen. I can't begin to count the number of useless items I've amassed through missions which have nothing to do with my craft. This is on all my alts not just one by the way. Working as intended? Either I'm the most unlucky SOB on any planet or the RNG is biased against my craft. Has anyone else had this experience? I have a theory, when you select your character the game drop percentage of usable equipment is biased against your class, the percentage is then set against you again when you select your crafting trade.

Well as far as I can tell hoods are still a problem in as much as you can't raise or lower them, they also clash with other pieces of headwear, I'm using a medical helmet and hood based piece of chest armor with my healer companion and the hood looks like it has horns growing out of it lol.

This thread is 35 pages long and I lost the will to live after reading the first 10 or so pages, so forgive me if this has been mentioned. From day one of release there have been bugs relating to sound and the ways it's implemented. 1.2 seemed to address a lot of sound issues I was experiencing, the exploit fixing patch then proceeded to introduce sound bugs all over again, will the sound ever be fixed in this game?

I hear what you're saying, and I understand. All I'm asking is to have the choice, if we lose the choice then what do we have? It's been said countless times on these boards that people are playing TOR like a single player game, and to be honest it feels like one to me. I haven't played a lot of MMOs as such, WoW, Fallen Earth, Guild Wars, Neocron to name the ones I can remember and this games general chat is the quietest MMO chat channel I've ever seen, ask a question and your lucky if you get an answer, your lucky if there's someone on your planet to give you an answer. Perhaps that's the problem, players are spread out over too many planets to form any sort of community chat. There's room for single and online games, but developers just seem to be interested in online play as the be all and end all.

Yes I did read the article, and I remember a certain game of Bethesda origin which was handed over to Obsidian for the sequel and which was, to put it mildly, unfinished when released to the public. Are you seriously suggesting Bethesda are not involved in the further development of one of their greatest creations, a game which to a greater more than lesser extent put them on the gaming map? I'm merely suggesting once bitten twice shy as my approach to any game Bethesda related, that's all. As I stated I love their games to death, I just don't trust their play testing methods.

My sentiments exactly, why does every game HAVE to be online? I never played Diablo online and didn't feel I missed out in any way shape or form, now I find Diablo 3 is online only, and I'm tempted to cancel my pre order. Give us the choice, variety is, as they say, the spice of life. I don't want to play every game online, it's gotten that bad now that the single player element of some games just feel like the tutorial for the online one.

To be honest I love the TES series to bits, but to be totally honest I wouldn't rush out and pre order it. Bethesda are a great game company but they have this trend of releasing half finished software then finishing it 6 months or more later. I know they'll deliver the goods... Eventually. But, as with this game it comes down to how long it takes to sort major bugs out. A lot of gamers in todays market, myself included, don't have the paientence to wait around for fixes, there's too many other games either on, or just over the horizon. As I've stated, going on Bethesda's track record, they're sure to deliver the goods, but I for one won't be an early subscriber.

I can understand that people want that, but let's be realistic here, there are only eight slots per server, that doesn't leave a lot of room to maneuver, does it? If there were twice the slots you could set a more realistic family tree up the way you would like, but at the moment that isn't possible. I'll conceed the way it is now can be cramped enough with the additional races, if you have multiple alts already in play then adding other races can be a problem, you may have to sacrifice a few low level alts to accommodate a new racial alt for instance. Legacy has everything to do with family, the defination of legacy means something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor. Synonyms: Birthright, Heritage, Inheritance.

I generally only go for the ones connected with the alt I'm playing and leave the others if they're hard to get to. The ones that bug me the most are the group ones, you can't always get someone to help, and the damn balloon on Tatooine, screw the 3/4 hour or so for the travel only to miss time the jump and start over or worse being dumped in the sand just before getting there because the balloon despawned, I believe that has been fixed in 1.2 though. Once you figure the jumping out by getting to a datacron it's relatively easy to do again, I've found the run jump works best, take a step back as far as you can the hit forward just before jumping, in most cases this works for me. There are two on Nar Shaddaa that are a real headache to get to first time I tried them. I can see the OPs point though, on a server with lag they would be almost impossible to get to, my heart goes out to you. The colour matrix shards can be assembled into relics with the right combinations, there are machines on The capital worlds to combine them.

That is weird but part of MMOs if they were all gone what would the next player a few minutes behind you do, he would have a free run to the objective. That's not to say it doesn't happen occasionally on a player populated planet or area.

I would agree with what you're saying here, Belsavis a prime example of it, theres also at least one on Alderan on the Empire side, you fight your way through a tunnel to get to an instance then fight your way out again, but all in all playing solo I've seldom been in a position where a respawn has caught me by surprise, even when mobs respawn there's a few seconds before they will engage you, giving you time to move beyond threat range. What I do in a situation where I feel I can't be bothered fighting or QT is on cool down is strip off dismiss my companion and die, repairs are a lot less.

I give up with this thread, some people don't seem to understand what a legacy is, or how individuals in two opposing factions can still be related, through blood, marriage or whatever. Two brothers (part of the same legacy) can't have different ideals, join different armies and fight to kill each other because of those ideals, that doesn't happen outside Hollywood from what some people suggest here.

They all have personal legacys, they didn't all just pop into existence, did they? The all had mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, in other words ancestors, or, guess... Legacys. Skywalker isn't the only legacy in Star Wars, it's one in a mythical universe full of the damn things, every character has his or her own lagecy. That includes Solo, Chewbacca, Wedge Antilles. The main story is about Luke and HIS legacy, not theirs. Explain to me how you can have multiple legacys per server with only eight slots? In order to have a legacy you need to have relatives, that means husbands, wives, children and all the rest that goes into making a family tree.

Most of the respawn rates are fine by me, although I do agree with the Down the Hole one, way too fast. I've never had much problems with them. If anything some of the mission target respawns are too slow. The only exception as I see it is while playing the Imperial Operative, I think they nerfed that class too much for solo play, I had to kill the same droids twice on Taris last night in a room before getting to the elite in order to kill him, basically due to healing and cool downs. And for those saying I'm complaining 'cause my main has been nerfed, I'm not. I have been through that place with a BH and Sorc, both were no problem, I was in and out before most of the respawns happened.

You have it right. You don't have to have the same surname to be part of a legacy. You just have to be connected, cousin, adopted child, marriage, illegitimate child, all have the same lagecy, but they all have to have ties in some way to that surname.

The moment Han Solo presumably married Leia he, and all his offspring become part of the Skywalker legacy. Did your mother have the same surname before she married your father? No she took his name after marriage, she became part of your fathers legacy and he became part of her legacy. Legacy, "something handed down from an ancestor or predecessor "

Semantics, she may have adopted the Organa name, but blood is thicker than water, her blood line is Skywalker like it or not. What's more strange to me is the fact that Darth Vader didn't recognise his old droids in the original trilogy, Hope, Empire and Jedi, R2D2 and C3PO were in all six movies. Lucas envisioned the story to span 9 movies in total with the droids being the link through all 9 as far as I remember reading way back when. Anakin, as far as I can remember created C3PO! Lucas, in my opinion ruined the whole story with episodes 1 through 3. Blaming Bio for, adding to the mess as you see it, doesn't cut the butter.

In the movies Leia is a Skywalker, isn't she? She is after all, Luke's sister, Anakin and Padmaé had twins, Luke and Liea, which where separated at a young age to protect them. That's how I remember the story anyway, the Legacy system fits the Star Wars universe fine as far as im concerned.

What I'd like to know is where all the non armor mission drops are, I'm maxed out 400 craft wise across the board for cyber, as a Bounty Hunter and every pattern I've got from a mission was either Armor, Bio or for everything not related to cyber. I have that many armor patterns, at least 12 of varing levels I've started a new alt to use them, same for Bio, I must have 10 or more of those in my storage. I can't remember once getting a cyber related pattern from a mission or drop, am I not supposed to get speeder patterns or the like? How long do I play the game for in order to get a pattern related to my craft?

I just tried the story mission again, with the buffs from my Legacy BH and Sorc and finished it! I have to say in my opinion, that was the hardest story mission to complete with any class solo, those extra buffs, I'm sure made the difference. kaliyo still went down fast but I was able to keep it together long enough to pull through because of the additional buffs. Now I get to progress a little further with this class. Legacy it seems, does have benefits.

For some, including myself the sound problems have been there from day one, the day it was released, not just from 1.2. The sound in this game has always been an issue for me. I've informed Bio that it was the main reason I would unsubscribe in a pre 1.2 email they sent asking my opinion of the state of the game. 1.2 fixed a lot of sound issues I was having, speeder sounds muting for no reason, background effects overriding everything else. A lot of issues I was having pre 1.2 seemed to be addressed, this last patch has introduced sound issues again, a droid on patrol passing by for instance, will cause the background and foreground effects to stutter as its sound tries to compete with those other sounds.

Yeah my sound seems to be borked too. I had a whole conversation on Voss go missing, along with some background and foreground effects.. I've no idea how programming works, but screwing up sound routines while fixing a crafting exploit? I can't link one with the other. I wonder how long before they'll fix this one? The companion stats still aren't fixed on gear upgrades either, I still have to remove/replace their gear to have it updated. I know bugs creep in while fixing problems but it seems every time the game goes down a new one crops up.

Are you kidding? Kaliyo has some of the best one liners in the game! I stopped playing the Operative after being disheartened with the damn Sith story instance and the continual death at his hands, and to be honest I miss Kaliyo and her warped antics. I mean how do you beat the line "Hey ugly I'll pay you to lick my feet... He'll do it, can you spot me 20 credits" said on getting to Nar Shaddaa for the first time, I nearly fell of the chair laughing when I heard that one.
