  1. Title says it all. Get the deal here while it lasts! EDIT: DEAL appears to be dead now! $9.99 but tax not included. Downloads to U.S. addresses only Reminder that today is the last day for the 50% off Collections unlocks.
  2. He means you can unlock Treek for 1m credits with legacy level 40 instead of having to buy off GTN or using CC. Not much of a perk, but it IS something. After you unlock her on your first character, you can also unlock her with credits OR CC (Collections>Cartel Market>Special)
  3. I'm not sure if you're being serious, but I'll oblige. Do Makeb. Click on the satellite GSI support thing on the orbital station or wherever they appear on each mesa of Makeb to get a buff to your stats. Get lots of comms from doing the dailys there. You can also get some entry level 55 gear from doing the Oricon story line. Have a guildie or friend run those dailys with you.
  4. I'm not really interested in spoiling the story. I'm more curious about crafting things and economic issues so I can plan accordingly.
  5. Does it expire Dec 2nd? Not the press NDA, the one that testers on the closed test server are bound to.
  6. I don't want to transfer servers, but I would like an explanation as to why this repeatedly happens on Harbinger and what they intend to do to resolve it once and for all. Eric?
  7. Own two of them but shows as 0/0 in decoration list. Would be nice to have an update for this. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
  8. Yep, still requires 35 runs to complete it. Hopefully they fix it before I cave and actually do it 35x
  9. Same here. Had to look it up on a 3rd party site to find where they categorized it.
  10. YES! I've noticed this as well. It's the G07-DY / Conspicuous Consumption Probe from the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event. No more coins dropping
  11. The way I see it, there is one of two likely outcomes for this. First, that the community management team is intentionally misleading people into thinking the ultimate comms they've earned between now and 3.0 will buy high-level 60 gear on day one. So most of you run off to max out comms in this hope so that you can gear up at least one, if not several characters in the first couple of days. Then with phrases like "subject to change" this of course changes and all basic/elite/ult comms get converted into basic comms, zeroed out, or something like that. 'Oops, yea, did we say you would keep all your commendations? Yea, we didn't mean that. It wasn't promised and was subject to change.' The second likely outcome is that BW actually intends to implement the commendation system in this manner and allow this stockpiling behavior to pay off. That would be incredibly stupid on their part. This game revolves around gearing up. If you can simply buy gear day 1, except for the armorings you need for set bonuses, this defeats the majority of the grind for at least a portion of your characters. Essentially it diminishes your need to run the content to get commendations. You'll get bored faster and then come back on here in a couple of weeks and whine that there's nothing to do. BUT if the community management team is upfront and straightforward about what's happening with gear this would be a departure from previous gear changes. They know this information would affect the community dramatically. Why continue to do the content? Why bother getting comms? This is where they should simply say "we're not ready to discuss changes to gear and commendations as the details of that are still being worked out and we won't know until x days before 3.0 launches." End of story. Enough with this wish washy BS.
  12. Has there been any instance of broken achievements getting fixed in the past? Not like achievements that didn't grant, I mean more like this where you got the achievement and then it ungranted it. If it's a database restoration issue I realize it will take considerable resources to restore the lost achievements, if that's even possible at this point. If it should be determined that the achievements cannot be restored I'd much rather see them completely remove the achievements from the game and then produce new ones should the event return again next year. I will NOT be grinding those same achievements again for you to lose them a second time. Basically, what bothers me is not so much that achievements disappear, crap happens. It's that other than BW acknowledging it, nothing gets done. If the answer is it's too complicated, just tell us that and then find a reasonable way to compensate us for our time. It's called customer service. It's like if I called Apple to tell them my iPhone broke and they said "Okay, thanks for letting us know. We'll get back to you." And then that's it for what, months, years? That wouldn't be acceptable there, why should it be here? We pay good money for the service and expect it to work. When it doesn't we need to be compensated. It's as simple as that.
  13. Can we get this fixed so we don't have to do 35 instead of 25? It's achievement bugs like this that make the achievement system pointless (aside from achievement points not getting you anything other than e-peen points). Why have an achievement for things and then be like "Just kidding! We erased your progress. Do it again." Or in the case of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife ones, "sorry, can't get those achievements that we erased, hit the machines again for hours and hours next year or wait for us to maybe fix it in a few months or years." Again, I must emphasize, if you're going to break achievements remove them from the game. If and when you decide to fix them and have the progress counted as it was completed, then you can add the achievement back. Until then I don't want to see the incomplete. Don't make us do stuff over again. It's maddening. And as a side rant, most of the achievements are stupid. And I say this as a person with nearly 30k achievement points. Doing something 25x or killing 10,000 of something isn't any sort of achievement, it's not enjoyable. The only thing I like is having the achievement points, which again, don't get me anything other than bragging rights. Achievements should be for things like datacrons or boss kills in operations, you know, things that actually require skill.
  14. I can confirm that on my fully-upgraded Republic G-X1 Firehauler I can only lay one Interdiction Sentry Drone at a time. Can this be investigated? I'm also fairly certain on my other fully upgraded bombers I only have a maximum of 2 seeker mines out instead of the 3 it is supposed to allow.
  15. Sorry guys, they realized that not only can Harbinger not handle 16m ops, it can't handle 8m either. Emergency patch tonight to remove ops from GF. And they won't be upgrading servers or cleaning up code to make it work again for the foreseeable future. JK...or am I?
  16. HAHA. It would be funnier though if we weren't actually paying money just for the privilege of being able to moan on these forums.
  17. Crashed again? 2nd time tonight? 3rd time this week.
  18. RandyL

    Down again

    Yes, it either refreshes very slowly, like every 15 minutes or someone has to manually change the status.
  19. Harbinger is down again
  20. I'll speculate and you can place bets on the accuracy of it. Level cap to 60. One new skill per class. 1 planet, with a questline similar to Makeb, with no continuation of individual class stories. 1 new operation. 1 warzone. 1 arena. 1 starfighter map. All coming to you sometime in Q1 2015. Additional elements will get pushed off to later patches.
  21. Except that they were not implemented this way in the game. A 55 cannot do a tactical flashpoint through group finder with lower levels. Though they are good for running with less geared 55s in most cases. Back to the subject of the thread, BW bungled the release of 3.0 information as many others have stated. It's really as simple as that. And I doubt we'll see this expansion before 2015. So stop trying to fool the players, it's just going to make people hate you more later when you announce the delay.
  22. So as it stands, unless you roleplay, there's nothing to do on a guild flagship other than decorate or look at decorations. I'd love to hear suggestions on activities or features that could be added to guild flagships. My first suggestion would be to add a guild whiteboard with 3 sections. The first section would be for the guild master to type in, with the second section for the officers and the 3rd section for other guildies. People could type messages to rally guild members, inform them of new events, rules, etc. The guild whiteboard should be displayed prominently on both the guild flagships and stronghold. As it stands right now, to communicate with guild members you either can use social media or other external sites, or the little blurb in the MOTD. This isn't really a sufficient way to communicate with members in different time zones with various playtimes.
  23. Let's get this implemented! Add a new key tier or something, but find a way for others to be able to launch invasions.
  24. It is most definitely NOT a welcome nerf. Warzones often take under 20 minutes to complete, and particularly arenas which can easily be over in 5 mins or less. You're looking at probably 30 mins or more for a run of most of these flashpoints with the bonus bosses. This week's bonuses favor GSF and FPs. If you don't like those things you're going to have a tough time getting points. Next week's bonuses will likely include ground PVP bonuses. They should have structured the invasions so that the planets have different bonuses, allowing all guild-types to compete in the same week. If they feel the time balance vs. points isn't even they can knock off some points. But making FPs non-repeatable for points is incredibly stupid. Why is PVP content repeatable but not PVE content? Do you really think that makes any sense? This conquest system just seems poorly thought out and they are just continuing to make it worse with decisions like this. Was the goal to dissolve small guilds and force anyone interested in conquest into mega guilds?
  25. Can you make the hooks bigger so I can move things like kiosks (guild bank, legacy storage bank etc.)? They're maddeningly difficult to click, so much so that I can't really understand how they made it out of dev as is. Thanks.
