Not sure. I was on a 36 Sentinel in chapter 2. I just got frustrated and bought her affection the rest of the way up to 10k. No knew chat options opened up but I think I'm probably just at the wall for what I can access for chapter 2? I'm expecting stuff to open up in chapter 3. But this is my first char up this level (I don't get to play much) so I don't really know if there are chapter 3 chat unlocks or if I should get to all them in chapter 2.

I tried running her through Esseles last night to get some affection and nothing. As far as I can tell affection gain with her, and various other companions on various classes(that is largely an assumption, but I am having the exact same issue with Corso Riggs on Smuggler), are broken all in this same way.

I'm not really getting any affection gain with Kira after the last patch myself. Just randomly here and there for class quests, but for nothing else aside from giving her gifts. And I'm almost at 9k. But I'm having the same issues with every companion.

So this is just a short little map out of the chat options if you want to gain max affection with Vette. You would just do Black Talon over and over using the following chat options. I got curious and decided to sit here and see how much affection I could get for her in one run. (not in a group, did this once I could easily solo BT) If you want Light Side points then this is a good way to do it. If you wan't dark side points you'll need someone to map that one out instead as it plays out a little differently. I may map it out later, but not right now. (For those that don't know, affection will increase the speed at which your companions finish crew skill missions and crafting deployments.) http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=70479 Black Talon Vette Affection Guide Lt Sylas: This is my welcome? You're very lucky... Third Option does not matter NR-02: Why should I? Well, aren't you ugly? #3 does not matter NOT I'll do that Imperial Lietenant: For your sake, stand aside! I'll move. NR-02/Captain Orzik (Bridge): We need to aid the wounded. Very Admirable. This won't be suicide. (LS) We need your help. This is for the best. I'll deal with it. NR-02/Captain Orzik (Bridge) pt2: Appreciated. Yes, and? You honor me master. All I want is one man. You're still talking? Prepared to be amazed! That should help. NR-02 & Brukarra: Reinforcements are pointless. Quiet, machine! Door & Padawan Yadira Ban: You're nothing. Can't we talk? The General: (This conversation has no gains, just possible losses) NOT I could kill you. NOT You served the sith. #3 does not matter. #4 LS vs DS option - Vette will lose affection for the DS one. Captain Orzik (Holo-communication): NOT More to kill. NR-02/Captain Orzik (Bridge) (Final): #1 doesn't matter You're choice Captain. There's not much to say. Make sure I get credit. Total Points: +200 Light Side Points, +455 Vette Affection Gain

Did they? That makes it much better then x.x

I believe it is account wide actually. Trying to find a post with the info. They had a post with the info during beta but I have no idea if they still do, and the forums are laid out differently .

This is what Square-Enix did with FFXIV (not the greatest game I know, just saying they did). When a server hit it's max limit they locked it for a while so no new chars could be made on it. Lesson learned, choose a server with the most boring name and play on that one, cause all the cool kids will go for the cool named servers~ (and their friends will be on it too) If they want to get people to the new servers they should offer some free char transfers. People would jump to them without thinking twice.
