not sure whats changed or hasnt... I dont seem to be refreshing very well either re zoning or re logging.. after half a dozen re logs my log out button stopped working and I had to restart Then the log out button worked again for a few tries.. and stopped working again.. something they added to stop this practice????? My biggest problem is that I cant GET underworld missions.. Sometimes i am re logging fifteen to twenty times to get an underworld mission at all... guildies scoff and tell me to run the other missions... but... I really dont WANT the other missions, i dont need companion gifts etc.. So, its is PURELY a waste of time.. the mats "may" sell, but the fact of the matter is, i am trying to upgrade my own player, not get rich from selling things... A day of playing is resulting in two to three days of struggling to get underworld metals so i can craft armoring mods and upgraded equipment... Its no wonder no one is making/selling anything at the higher levels.. its so much of a pain it REALLY isnt worth it... When something IS for sale the price is ... well, WOW... Understandably so now that i am trying to make those items I tried re loading in my ship/hanger before without any luck.. will try that and see if its refreshing now or not....

/signed Sincerely.. me too

Interesting.. I look forward to see how these changes work. I have Cybertech, and... was a tone point when I started it capable of selling the mods I crafted.. TODAY, my mods expired on the market for the fifth time in a row, without any sale. The price, as of the fifth posting, was pretty low. My armoring Mods ranged from 10 to 18, three to four of each type.. When they expired today, I vendored all of them, and havent made any more, and didnt intend to make any more.. So, I put all my materials on the market,a nd about half of them wre gone in fifteen minutes, making me easily four times as much as I would have made on the mods.. I wondered why I hadnt done that from the start.. life would have been so much easier.. but after reading this.. I feel that maybe mods will have purpose again.. at least Armoring.. crafting an actual MOD is... pathetic... they require the same materials, but sell for less than a fifth of the armoring?? I made mods for myself, because there were never any available on the GTN.. Meybe they will come to be a viable commodity now???? I have five characters, at varying levels... I do not need all of them.. but, when I need to upgrade, and there is nothing to BUY so I can upgrade them, it makes things... difficult.. so I go to another character, and usually play until I run into the same problem... having a cybertech, and getting as much orange gear as I can fit, has kept me playing, though usually broke from doing missions to get materials to build twenty four or so Armoring and mods.. and then try to buy ten or so enhancements.. usually a little too low level from the mod vendor somewhere because none are on the gtn.... So, i am interested to see how this helps the crafting profession.. if it does, i will be impressed, but I have my doubts.. Not many people craft items over 35ish, because they are a pain to craft.. if they do craft them, its for themselves, or guildmates, not to sell on the GTN..

I spend a lot of time crafting and selling WHILE I am working.. so i am on the phone or other computer (Right beside the one I play on) while my companions are doing missions.. having to wait an hour or more on some missions means I can get quite a bit done.. but often find myself logging out, and have to relog.. I would think the CONSTANT auto log out and relog in would be more taxing on the server than simply resetting the auto log out for all actions.. My complaint, is that talking on chat, sending companions out, or putting stuff on the GTN dont refresh your logout time. So.. i spend a lot of time doing things.. answer the phone.. two minutes later look back as the little bar on the logout timer expires and logs my character out before I can click on it.. Usually I can hit it before it expires, but miss at least half the time. This happens a dozen times a day to me,, and of all the things in the game that need fixed.. this one ****** me off the most... I understand the need for the logout.. sort of.. IMHO it should be for those people who fall asleep, or get called away with a bad case of Wife Agro etc.. not for someone chatting/selling/crafting.. At the very least.. make it so the above mentioned ACTIONS reset the auto log out... Its annoying to have to tape a rock to the turn key so he spins in circles all day...

Hey.. If he likes it, thats perfectly fine with me.. I dont like it.. but I think its cool if someone else does. IMHO Heavy armor isnt a robe... period.. I dont care how thick you make a robe, or what material you make it out of.. its NOT heavy armor.. sorry, but... no. Any nearby explosion tossing chunks of sharpanel at you is going to take you down, no matter what kind of CLOTH you have on.. maybe the pieces wont puncture the advanced bulletproof cloth.. but they are still going to do serious impact/blunt damage and take you down even if only for a time.. My JK is one of those wearing heavy trooper armor.. its orange outcast gear..(orange) has a little robetail type thing in the back.. along with the sovereign mind headgear (circlet/orange) and heavy gunners (orange) and the RD-14A Scout gauntlets (orange) it makes for a somewhat fair looking set ... dont like the big shoulder hooks it has but... there arent many choices at lvl 30 that look fair to midlin on a JK. I am really hoping.. they take some things into consideration with 1.2.. MOST people dont like to look like an idiot.. most armor and headgear in this game makes you look like an idiot (imo) and I wont wear it.. The OP likes his gear. great! I like "heavy" armor.. hopefully, with 1.2 we will both have more options to choose from

Heh.. well glad to see I'm not the only one with this opinion.. having the option to turn the head slot off is good.. but.. why not just design gear people dont mind wearing in the first place? No one likes to look like an idiot on a character they pay to play. You either look like Jordie, a football player, or some racing bike fanatic.. Ive given up on helmets.. bought a circlet style headpiece thats orange and just upgrade it... Someone really needs to SLAP a dev about the helmet designs... Not to mention Armor... My JK is heavy armor tank spec.. I do NOT care how good you are with cloth, or how fine the weave.. or even how THICK the cloth is.. it CANNOT be heavy armor.. so even if you make it out of Kevlar or some other advanced material.. getting swatted by a projectile, shrapnel, grenade etc.. is GOING to take you out of the game, at least for a bit... so.. my JK wears Outcast heavy armor.. the best I can do unless I want a cloth robe... it has a little tail/robe type thing in the back... what it needs, is a robe type hood on the outcast plate that goes over the Sovereign Mind headgear/circlet like the normal robe hood does... THEN wed be looking like a Jedi tank... as it is.. I always feel silly running around.. but, in the plate, I feel moderately less like an idiot than i do in the robe..... a heavy armor robe? sigh.....

hey all!! I was tired of being flat broke all the time, so I dumped my crafting skill for slicing.. worked well.. so long as I was gaining skill.. I was getting schematics and blueprints.. only a few were worth much.. but, it aided in keeping going, upgrading armor etc... Until i reached four hundred Slicing.. I got a Decent schematic or mission to sell about once in ten missions (Guestimate) However, since reaching 400.. I have not recieved a single schematic, blueprint or mission descovery.. I've been keeping three companions running hard for five days.. and have not gotten anything.. zero.. zilch... I tried doing 41 - 48 missions again, and still nothing.. I am confused about what I am doing wrong?? I have been considering dumping the skill and starting over again JUST so i can get schematics etc again... My companions are not MAX on their affection.. around 5 to 6K Averaged.. but I got schematics all the way to 399 skill.. my last one was a sith robe at 399 exactly.. Now apparently,, this skill is useless.. after all the time invested, its disappointing. What is the trick I am missing??? Thx for reading and for any advice!!!

LOL!! Thanks I realized that there was no easy button.. you people with all your fingers are DISCRIMINATING against those of us that cant count to ten! thats it, I'm calling... someone.. that cares? Yes I own a rotary DIAL phone with a CORD plugged into it..

Agreed as well. its functional, but creates frustration.. Any player who has played many mmo's knows that eventually even the little things start to eat at you.. Something as important as this shouldnt be part of the problem that leads to walking away in the end... My Current frustration is that i just cant FIND items to buy.. I need better gear, Im old, my fingers dont work well.. (I was fourteen when Luke bullseyed his Womp rat) I have less fingers now than I did then... so without GOOD gear, I die repeatedly.. I am not looking for any flames about how YOU made it with no problems.. I am sure you did.. GREAT, I am proud of you.. I cant do it.. My point is.. are people not crafting because its such a pain to deal with? I have crafted in several games, and this one is by far the... messiest?? It feels so.. unfinished.. the list of craftable items is horrendous.. especially if you craft a lot of items... Then, after figuring that out, you get to spend an hour looking at, or selling stuff on the GTN, typing in your prices while your companion kicks you out, the afk macro tries to boot you from the game.. THEN, You buy two pieces of ORANGE jedi Consular gear for kira, because she is a Consular Shadow.. right??? wrong.... (Yah, i did) Even standing in one spot crafting and sending companions on missions will get you the "disconnecting due to inactivity" bar.. really? I'm RIGHT here!!!!

Older thread, but found it because I wondered what i was doing wrong.. I handled Alderaan just fine on my BH, but the republic version seems quite a bit tuffer.. Maybe my Trooper is just not as good.. or.. because I Am Old and have old busted up and missing fingers, not fast on the keys.. so imagine its harder for me than you young guys.. the difference in difficulty is blatantly obvious at least to me.. I need to gain another two or three levels before I continue Alderaan... Hopefully I can go back for bonus levels.. if not I'm all done on the trooper... Would join a guild, but, as slow as I am I'd be more hindrance than bonus.. has been a LOT of fun till now.. Never dreamed Id get to bulls eye a womp rat after walking out of the theater in may of 77.. I was thirteen years old

Go back to the orbital station, the mandos will be waiting for you in the airlock, and thats where Torian asks you to go along for the ride....

So.. what did you do?? having the same issue exactly.. always nice if you said what you did to figure it out... i was told I was being sent the credits for completing the mission also, and received nothing.. so am hoping I get it when they take delivery of the body... Just have no clue where to go or who to talk to next?????

Agreed whole heartedly.. I spent a bit of time and effort to gather mats to make a couple of these, one for me, and one for my son.. the materials alone could have sold to BUY six of 8K hoverbikes.. I assumed no one was selling them because the mats cost six times the cost of buying one.. I only wanted to build them to have my name and gift him one to save him the creds. a lot of flamers/trolls hashing at the OP for this post, and others hashing at the replies that agree.. unfortunately those that fear for the economy are fruitcakes.. the cost is too high to make them to sell, so it would make no dif whatsoever.. obviously they didnt think of that before flaming... its not a big deal either way to me, but he is right, this should be a part of the description on the blueprint.. of course.. then the people selling the 200 Schematics couldnt scam the poor cybertechs that are stupid enough to buy one... yeah, that includes me.. waste of mats and credits.. thx for the bop
