  1. Yeah, it's odd you can't level him/her with Jawa scrap... Jawas are yummy! They probably used the wrong template and will correct it. Or they'll leave it as is, hard to tell sometimes. And they should have added a special ability like the Akk Dog ones, just have the Wampa pick someone up by the ankle and eat them whole. That would be fun, especially because you can't feed delicacies. A healthy Wampa can't survive on military rations.
  2. I got one too, before knowing there was a limit I wrote... They wanted us to give details, right?
  3. It's hideous now, matching the drifter chest model to the last detail, like it was written over it by accident. I hope by accident and not purposely. I have the set and was looking for the right character to give it to. Now I have to give it to one fast so when they fix it by adding a classic version I will still get it. That is assuming they do that. In the past they ninja edited armor sets and after an outrage they added the old ones anew as classics that looked better than the new in most cases.
  4. It went offline, yes. It's the only server that did. I just hope there won't be a rollback
  5. Looks like something wasn't coded or someone was informed wrongly after all. Was having my doubts anything would get added.
  6. Don't you think that's a bit late for answering simple questions? Event goes live today (depending on timezone). There are some pretty straightforward questions out there, which I am not expecting to even get answered Thursday. When will the event end? "Fall" is such a vague term, knowing even roughly where in fall can help people plan their actions. Since it's unknown waiting until Thursday might not be an option for everyone as time may be short already. Does the order of achievements matter? If people have to be level 25 before they do the three FPs it's not a big issue as they can be repeated (still time may be limited). But are you expecting people to make new characters just because they completed a one-time mission too early? From what I'm hearing about people saying they need to have 3 character at level 65 this is what people seem to be assuming (3rd one to complete Ziost). Not even thinking about doing the last one, I just will do up to the companion tier, both sides, so all my characters should get both the companions. At least that's how I understood it. It works like that, right?
  7. They still won't say if it matters if you do the SH intro mission at level 15 for example. Since you need it at a far greater tier than the first, doing it too early can really annoy people because they didn't know. It was asked long before they stopped responding in here. So it might be a non-issue, will it register and count or cause a flamewar? Also, people in guild keep asking me when it'll end -exactly-. Anything more accurate than -fall-?
  8. Feels like the reverse punishment of server transfer survivals. Now it's "If you already did it, your problem,. make new characters and do it all again!" Back then it was "Here's the best pet in the game, but all the characters you make from now on out won't even have a chance to get it." And what's in the "KNIGHTS OF THE FALLEN EMPIRE STORY BONUS PACK" it doesn't say. Sounds like a way to get the HK bonus chapter that was presented as a bonus chapter for those who stayed subscribed. Got anything for your long time subscribers?
  9. First of all, all legacy bound weapons, old and new. Lightlife event ones - Kingpin weapons. Grand Acquisition Race ones - Bowcasters like the Assassin's Touch, Kashyyyk's Legacy, and can't recall the third I have or the 3 I don't. Probably plenty more.
  10. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=859730 <- That most likely, should save you some time looking for the problem. It's looking like something changed in the server side program that gets triggered in the last patch somehow. Since I don't know what the coding looks like or is anything running the login system was changed that's the best I can do. Look what was wrong on the other one to fix afflicted servers and then reverse engineer a real fix.
  11. And now this seems to happen on The Progenitor at Light population. Infinite loading screen then a login queue
  12. Yup, I think they linked it wrongly. I am curious how it's even supposed to look.
  13. The same one spam mailed me 3 days in a row on the same character... First two I reported third time was ignore. You should at least check these reports daily if you're serious. It doesn't only show their idiocy as I only become less likely to visit their sites which can only be expected to be littered with viruses/malware. It shows me BW only on occasion does something or just saying they do to make a point and then giving them free roam again.
  14. Wrong, there's only 1 mission you can't do on Rishi, the optional one you get before the first FP, everything else is possible. Still in chapter 1 and I have done the whole thing except that 1 mission. Nothing against the story, and as it's agent it's in many's opinion the best, and I can't argue that. But I have done the agent story plenty times that with this example character I left the story for what it was. I still intend to finish the story at some point, when in the mood. Though I may also make a new agent soon unless I wait for October and start at 60 with it. So it might be longer to finish the story on that example char I have. Point is different people have different reasons for doing different things. There are people that don't finish chapter 3, not gonna judge them. Choices never mattered as much as it was advertised, in fact they do most for agent yet changes nothing for the missions you get to do. But I am curious if the devs even thought about the option, if not they may leave serious bugs. that may be next to irreparable as it can affect the stored data for so many characters. So if they don't bother to read this thread I may have 4 more companions than everyone else or get to the point where I crash the server because I would get 2 identical companions, or my character becomes corrupted. Maybe they already took precautions. It could be when you take the mission there's a warning message it'll abandon the chapter 1-3 story, that would be best in my optioning. Unless they made it so there's nothing to worry about and you can have them both active without issues, as is now with chapter 1-3 (core), 4 (Makeb) & 5 (Revan), that would really be the best. We just don't know, and we don't know if they know.
  15. So I have a level 60 agent, finished Rishi, Yavin V and even Ziost. I just leveled mostly though other content mostly and my class story is still in chapter 1. This means I have 3 companions. The starting companion, the ship droid and my Treek. With uncertainty on how things will work it might be good to know what this may mean for the next expansion. Did developers take this option into consideration? Will class story for starting planets be abandoned when picking up the new chapter? Will it be required to finish the story first unless you're making the new level 60? Does this potentially mean if I finish my class story post expansion content I may have up to 4 more companions than BW intends me to have? Will it be possible to get a companion when you already got it from the expansion? It would already be awkward to meet a companion the first time while having him at your side. I just don't feel like going on to finish the story on that character at this time, perhaps one day in the future I will. I don't want to get in trouble because of it. If nothing else this can be something to test.
  16. Yeah, I hate those uninformative messages. I like to see the notification where it says what so I can see if I need to be happy I sold stupid junk clogging up my bank or made a big sale and can soon buy something nice from someone else.
  17. Blue chip = Kingpin casino chip or whatever it's called I assume. There's the smuggler slot machines and the kingpin slot machines, the kingpin ones use the blue chips (best used with the feeling lucky buff). But even the rewards from using those can't be sold. That Vectron speeder, I don't know, must be stuck with at least five of those, still 0 vendor trash value, can't put them on GTN, and from what I can tell still the same for the rancor too. As got packs being gambling or not, they are for the mere fact that you take a gamble with what you may get from it. You may get only stuff no one really wants that you'll have trouble selling to anyone, and you may also get two very desired pieces that maybe you yourself want. It's a gamble you take, therefor gambling.
  18. Or they are still busy deciding who else to ban, I did not see a "We're done finding the culprit accounts used" which wouldn't mean the further investigation would be done with. It'd just mean those who sold a few or managed to buy back were good. When the message was put up doesn't matter as it would only make people aware that started the launcher AFTER that message was put up. Anyone else can have been oblivious they were getting more than they bought for. Yet BW act like everyone should have been aware because they were so fast putting that up. Even now they won't say if there's a minimum threshold or if a buyback puts you in the safe. Other people made me nervous with them saying they know people getting banned for selling 3 chairs, but then there's no proof. Again if BW said there was a threshold even if not saying how high (with the exploit itself being over). Then trying to inform them of the easy way people can still exploit (which others just posted to the public) if they haven't been caught gets your ticket handled by the most incompetent CS rep they somehow refuse to get rid of, now if in the clear cause technically not exploiting, that CS rep makes me nervous by mindlessly sending the ticket to the wrong place so might get banned if there's another one like that to deal with that ticket. And I'm nervous enough not to put anything on the GTN, they are still investigating and having laundering disguised can put innocents at risk. Other people posted what I mean and I put it in a ticket that was send to the wrong department probably.
  19. Really, you're not making yourself look good. You know that account you're using is older than mine, right? (I'm account in the 3.1 mil something, you're in 3.0 mil) First you clearly say "Fine, whatever. If i'm banned...Oh Well." going on about hoping you don't want to be banned. Now you're saying you were banned and that's why you made this account. I'm getting the feeling you had a lowbie account to use for exploiting and laundering hoping you can get the millions on that one back that you didn't get to launder. Or you just want attention and are just polluting this thread and trying to draw others into it.
  20. There was no in game notification, and no notification prior to the servers going up, so as long as someone stayed logged on they wouldn't know unless another player told them. Doesn't excuse real exploiting. But still leaves an accidental sell, where people might not even pay attention to how much they get back assuming it's be treated like a "sell back at same cost" like there is on most purchases. And still wondering what punishment people trying to fix the accidental sales through buybacks, immediate or delayed can expect.
  21. I still don't know the details of that one. I didn't see how that exploit worked. Didn't sound like a bug where someone would accidentally trip into the locked off area. And it apparently wasn't about moving past that gate where I was told was an invisible wall anyway. I'm not saying they should ignore what happened, if they feel they need to punish me so be it. But I think in this case for an accidental sell and eventual buy back a ban no matter how short is overkill. If they feel they need to strip 10 times what I sold for or even 100 times, won't like it, but I'll accept it. It should be obvious who are the on purpose exploiters, problem is that they have ways around being punished and even have the power to make others suffer if they are smart enough and BW wants to punish them too badly. They need to put up a hotfix ASAP to avoid that. The engine is supposed to be able to track and maintain data was said during development. What we don't know if BW modified the engine in that area, and I doubt they really have the manpower to deal with this in real time. They need to throw in a hotfix, backup the data, then the team can dissect it. The longer they wait, the more may slip through. Actually more will slip through as it's not hard to imagine a way to exploit less detected, won't try that myself but won't say here either to avoid people trying to get away with it.
  22. Like I posted, had the same thing happen. I eventually managed to buy back, but I had a longer time go over that. Hope to get a response if they even see that but I doubt it. You best use the buy back just in case.
  23. Decided to log back in this morning and see if it was still on the buy back tab, the one I accidentally sold instead of unlocking as I was still on the vendor with other stuff going on around me in game & real life. Hope they can see that when checking even though there was some time in between. Technically my profit is a loss of 50 credits now (4950-5000). I don't even know if they take notice, should I send another ticket to add this referring to the last? That would probably be spamming CS. So if they see this a short recap: Servers went up without the notice referring to the issue Accidentally sold 50 instead of using (unintended profit 4950 credits) Send in a ticket still unaware this had escalated to this point Got a CS response, guy not taking action and assuming incorrectly that I was aware of this thread Logged off and visited forums a bit This morning went back online and was still able to buy back (net loss 50 credits, not asking for those back) I'll see what I do with those chairs, either donate them, destroy them or sell them back after the exploit is fixed. Just hoping this honest mistake (which while time passed between start and end was corrected player side) isn't going to cause excessive punishment. In hindsight I should have checked the buyback after accidentally selling, but I pretty much never need to even look there.
  24. As per ticket 17734200 I had bought 2 stacks of 50 (one to give to a friend who lags a lot when on fleet), and forgetting to leave the vendor before using my decorations. So ended up with a profit of 4950 as per the exploit (only one stack of 50). Response to the ticket came fairly fast and was directed to this thread. Glad the exploit will be dealt with, not asking to keep the ill gotten credits or anything (less than 5k, so not that big of a deal to me either way). The one handling the ticket let me keep them for now, pending the investigation, I just hope this accidentally sold stack of 50 isn't going to give me a suspension. If this accident costs me 50k credits for example, so be it. A small price to pay if it helps you make a point. Edit: And apparently there was a change of launcher message between I logged on and the ticket was handled and all. Explains why he assumed I already saw this thread, guess that's cause I was waiting on someone running into that other issue most likely so never logged.
  25. Not to mention everyone downloading when you get a "servers are up" notification would not be good either. All you get for that is the patching servers getting even more load, so things would slow down more. Makes sense to start patching while servers are patching for 2 reasons: You don't have to wait for the patching when you want to go onto the live servers. A more spread out load on the patching servers, meaning those that don't patch ahead will download the patch faster. And pretty sure I saw a staff post before that really implied patching before the servers were live was totally alright. Unless they say opposite I'll assume that to be the case, if it wasn't they would have disabled patching before servers were done altogether.
