Been happening to me too ... was hilarious when I switched to my Tauntaun and had the sounds of the Adno

I can't believe there is such a major discussion over an article written a year ago. Things have changed a lot since then

I have a couple of characters and their companions geared up in the scalene set ... guess they're on the shelf till this is fixed

LOL on Jedi Covenant, Hutta is the only planet I had to run around to find the ''shady characters'' ... on all the other bounty planets there were hardly any other players doing the event. I ran with 6 of my 55's Imp side and 5 Republic ... only the starter planets were manic.

Exactly ... it's one more set of missions I'm not going to bother with any more.

Update :: After 2 hours using seeker droid on Tatooine ... 5 x grey items (total 65 credits) ... 2 x speeder parts (both duplicates of parts I'd already found) ... 2 x seeker droid deployment boosts. Quite disappointing considering I used to RE any green mods to craft blue's for new players / guildies, as well as making some credits for my time.

45 minutes .... and suddenly ''Your seeker droid found something'' ... I hold my breath and open my inventory .... ''Magnetized Security Spike'' .... sells for 5 credits to a vendor .... I made more from killing the sandpeople and looting the chest than I did selling stuff the seeker droid found.

Likewise ...

LOL yup ... my active companion remains invisible (except for their weapon floating mid-air) if I use Force Camouflage on my marauder. Only workaround I've found is dismissing then re-summoning the companion.

I was pretty underwhelmed when I reached Legacy lvl 50. I'd expected more as rewards. The idea of a legacy bank is cool. For commendations etc ... Hopefully the DEVs take note and something like this is implemented.

I noticed the change in Jorgan's appearance too ... and I have a couple of Cathar who have now changed color

I've just had the same story from CS. The error message stated to try after 24 hours .. so I did ... I had no idea each attempt 'reset' the lockout timer. Now I have to wait a whole week before I can purchase cartel coins again.

My sorc often uses Ashara while doing dailys though I occasionally switch to Xalek for some. No reason other than having a change.

I was a little shocked to read this http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=514841 on the PvP forums earlier. No-one from CS has commented. I'm not sure if such an amount of expertise in the pre 50 wz is possible, if it would make a difference, and is an exploit? Would someone from CS please look into this.

It would be wonderful to make 1 of each of the advanced classes. I'd agree on giving us a chance to create more characters without having to delete those we already have.

I already have 7 chars and would love the chance for more. Making a new slot available when you have a lvl 50 is a great idea, or have it linked to Legacy. When you achieve Legacy lvl X you open a new slot.

I understand the issues with any MMO going live and needing updates and patches. I admire BW and EA for all the work with the latest, BUT forcing paying customers to lose so much playing time because of someone hitting the wrong damned button and screwing up ALL the hard work ... it's pathetic. I know the actual cost of game time lost is small, but it's the principle of the thing. UK and Europe have lost an entire day of playing time, and I know many people took today off work to play the new updates. I can only hope the servers come back up before it's too late for the UK and Europe to play and enjoy the game. To all those busting their butts repairing the mess ... I applaud you.

It always helps to kill plenty of mobs instead of avoiding them (good for credits too) , fp's, as well as checking your map for new quests. Explore the map fully rather than race through it. I've never yet had a char under level for a planet.

I noticed that too ... in fact much more than half

While I agree with the issues about hackers and bots ... I feel I must point out that any dps build with a good healer can kill a lot without dying. I personally have managed 30 kills and 0 deaths because I had an awesome healer watching my back. As for 50 - 70 ... maybe it's a good premade with several healers ... not impossible.

I agree with what you're saying. Sadly a pug team Vs a premade with healers is difficult. I've been on the pug team against such, and it was terrible.

Not sure if you're on the same server as me, but I've seen a Repub team like that. They're well organised and have several healers. Being on a pug team gives us little chance. Where I admire good team, having premades against pugs IS killing PvP. No-one wants to constantly lose, and the newer level 50's with only a couple of Champion pieces are becoming very disheartened.

I was 13 years old and luckily had a friend who's older brother worked in the local cinema. I think we saw every showing of the movie for the first week. I remember being the only girl in class who liked Han Solo. I saved up to buy all the figures and various ships, which unfortunately my little brother got his hands on and buried in the back garden.

Same thing happened to a team I was with earlier .... not 1 game ... but 3 or 4 different groups in Voidstar. The opposition were running around below us because we were stuck .. and they'd planted bombs. We lost valor, comms and the games because of it.

We just played 5 Empire against 10 Republic in Voidstar ... humiliating
