Yeah, this game is definitely weird. I play dozens of games, but this game is the only one that makes my fan randomly ramp up for no apparent reason.

On all my characters, I've never had this problem. I'm always ahead by 2 and sometimes 3 levels. I don't do the 2 and 4 group quests. I pick them up, but only so I'm not constantly seeing the quest triangle on my map and repeatedly talking to the npc to see if it is a regular quest or group. When I leave the planet, I abandon them all. I just make sure I do every quest on the planet and I don't cut corners and look for shortcuts. On my Juggernaut I just arrived on Belsavis, which is a level 41-44 planet; he's level 43. Also, don't know how much it matters, but I explore and uncover the entire map.

Sith enslave anything, including other Sith Purebloods, so there's no problem there. I chose Pureblood mainly because, well, they are the best representation and embodiment of Sith, in my opinion anyway. Also, they have more customization options. I didn't like that all Rattataki are bald, pale, and have tattoos. I also don't get why they can't be warriors, seeing as how they're supposed to be all about combat, etc. Just my two cents.

No. It's ridiculous. I'm at a loss to figure out why they won't fix him. Why won't they fix him? Why won't they communicate with us about it? It's maddening, it really is. It's been an issue since launch! They fixed an issue with all companions with multiple slots in days, yet they can't, or won't, get Xalek's shield to work??? I'll freely admit there may be something monumentally difficult preventing them from fixing him, but I highly doubt that to be the case, and in any event THEY SHOULD COMMUNICATE TO US WHAT THE HOLD UP/PROBLEM IS.

I don't know, I like a lot of it. Here's mine: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/adamaj/sorcfar.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/adamaj/sorcmed.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/adamaj/sorcclose.jpg I would like to have some black, hooded robes similar to the movies, though.

Yeah, on some I definitely notice. The lvl 50 dailies on Belsalvis, especially the ones that are inside tunnels, have insanely quick respawn rates. I run grouped with my wife and we fly through them, but we are always astounded to find respawns around the first corner on our way out. It's annoying. They're not all like this, but a lot are and when you're trying to quickly get through dailies, it's a real pita.

Ya, I've noticed this too since 1.2. Jaesa will not put her weapon away. I took it from her thinking it would solve the problem, but she still acts as if she has it out, so I usually just dismiss her. My wife has the same issue. I haven't noticed with Khem, but then again his sword isn't as noticable as a light saber. Xalek and Jaesa never put theirs away though.

You assume all servers have a large enough population. Through the whole event I NEVER saw this in my fleet. Nothing in chat. Nobody talking about it. I noticed the new news kiosk and clicked on it, but thought it was just for show, like an added element for fun and immersion. The PA announcements told you NOT to go to Tatooine. Why would anyone pay attention to the login client? It always has the same old usless info and advertisements repeated over and over. I can vaguely remember seeing a picture of a rakghoul, but why would that make me think anything more than they were advertising the existing intance, as usual. I didn't know anything until three days after the event started, and that was only because I came to the forums and saw a thread where someone was complaining about not being able to get the full set of armor or something. When I first heard the fleet announcement telling people NOT to go to Tatooine, the next day I went there to see what I could see, thinking if there was anything happening, there would be a quest giver or something toward the beginning. Nope, nothing. I turned around and left. Two days later I saw the post I mentioned above and searched around to figure out what the hell was going on. That's something I should NOT have to do. I PAY for this game and all content in it. I'm not obligated to subscribe to various twitter feeds and check this or that website to figure out what's going on in a game I pay to play. It is Bioware's responsibility to let their paying customers know IN GAME. Could have gotten a mail from someone on Tatooine requesting my help to investigate a crash in the northern dune sea, or something to that effect. How the hell are you supposed to find that tiny area in the dune sea blindly, when all you have to go on is the fleet PA annoying you with messages every five minutes to NOT do that very thing? What about the crimson rakling quest? How in the world would you EVER figure that one out and find all the pieces? Don't sneak major content in, content that I payed for, and then not give me a quest, or announcement in chat, or in game mail, so that I miss out on three days of the event. I can't help that I play on a low pop server where the fleet is always in single digits and nobody talks in chat. There are a lot of servers like this, and Bioware knows this. They handled this event poorly. Put the vendor back so people can spend what they already earned. I'm surprised it's gone. You people harping about others not knowing how mmo's work would do well to remember OTHER mmos leave the damn vendors in the game AFTER the event is over. In Rift or WoW, you sure as hell know when an event is going on, they make sure of that.

Maddening, huh?

Yeah, people have been complaining about this since December, actually. I rarely come to the forums and I haven't ever slammed Bioware, in fact I have only said nice things about them in the past, but this is really getting annoying. Factor in the earpiece/implant slots for all companions STILL not working, even though they said it was fixed, along with the rest of the problems with the game that I have patiently defended and overlooked, and I'm really starting to lose my patience with Bioware. It's really annoying to play the game as it is with your companions bugged, and trying to do lvl 50 dailies as a sorc heals with Khem as tank and having to take off and re-equip three pieces of gear a hundred times a day is maddening! Xalek and the equipment slots need to be fixed right NOW. Not next week or in a "future" patch - whenever that may be. Now.

I agree completely. This game is all about story and immersion and having you true apprentice broken to where you can't use him is unacceptable - especially when you consider it has been broken from beginning!

Really? How do you do it? Just not take the vaccine? I really want that crystal, lol.

I can see what the op is saying. I come to the forums most every day. Visit the fleet most every day. But I didn't know what was really going on until 2-3 days after things had started. The fleet message tells you to stay away from Tatooine. I went there anyway thinking that if there was something to do, there would be a relevant npc near the starting area of the planet. I didn't see any new quests. I didn't even notice the new containment npcs at first as it has been a while since I've been to Tatooine. So I turned around and left. My server is low population and there isn't any chatter to speak of in any chat channel. Then a couple of days later I saw a thread in here where someone was complaining that there wasn't enough time left in the event to get all the gear, or something to that effect. So I then googled it and found a site with a map showing where to trigger the questline in the dune sea. I wondered how in the world someone is supposed to stumble across a quest out in the middle of nowhere in the dune sea on a planet they're warning you to stay away from anyway. So, I'm with the op, unless I missed something obvious I think they need to do a better job of letting us know what is going on in game. I shouldn't have to obsessively check the web and hope I catch this or that someone may or may not have mentioned in a forum or blog or on a website. As it was, on my server, if I hadn't saw that thread, I may have completely missed the event. As it is, I should still be able to get the pet, but I would have liked to had the time to get the crystal too.

The Belsavis daily quest "Freeing the Fallen" seems to be bugged. The bonus part of the quest "Clear the way" says for you to defeat 30 primeval droids but there are only 23 in the instance. I've searched the forums but couldn't find anything. Anyone else notice this?

I do love the game, so I'm not going to unsub or smear the devs. I know they are working hard. I just wish someone would update this. The silence is maddening.
