Yeah 😔 was hoping the black-purple crystals would make it to the vendors but alas, one could hope

They are - both screenshots are from Coruscant where the quest in question takes you first and the catch cheaters quest you are obviously talking about is a season objective and NOT what he meant at all

Indeed, that really feels like they sat together saying, ok GS was too good a deal for the players, so let’s milk them instead 😑

never said it was now just more people will want to go up there because they now can actually buy the items off the CE vendor

I am perfectly OK with granting access to something that was formerly exclusive to certain people. I have the physical CE with Malgus, etc. ... but seeing more people in the VIP section is actually nice I just hope that they grant access to the Black-Purple Striated Crystals again... they gave so many other sub rewards to everyone (Shae, Nico, various pets, mounts), why not those please, my completionist/collecter heart weeps

bummer! though maybe we (have the same problem) could write a ticket as this seems like something customer service could fix/unlock for us - I mean that screenshot should be proof enough that the requirements are all met... here's to hoping

yup, can confirm - while the "sharp" edges have been removed with 7.1.1, that chestpiece still looks way off on female body types... namely the behind looks huge and deformed and the front by far does not flow down as smoothly as it does on a male body type so, try again devs please

The Headstrong Apprentice’s Chestpiece is no longer deformed when equipped on Female Body Type 1, 2, and 3 uhm, not really, it still looks deformed

wow, that was fast indeed! I just hope GS3 is included in the update (something good to counter the horrible changes to tele/lightning 😉)

Yes! I would definitely come visit- one if not the best SH I have seen so far! very well done!

They probably want to have some planets left for next year ☺️

Phew, this will take some getting used to for sure. A little confusing compared to the old forum… when I first logged in, all I saw was code jibberish, refreshing didn’t help but pressing the back button helped those signatures are hilariously huge - as are the video links 😂🤪 overall the design/layout looks good though 👍🏼

2 thoughts: Dasty has a point: you get content/items out of EVERY box - as opposed to getting nothing for the coin you use in a casino slot machine it is actually not 480 but 360 items = 6/360 = 1.7% (one of the 4 items per box is always a companion gift/jawa scrap/cartel certificate)

technically that is not a bug... the HEROIC 4 has always been part of the Section X weekly (at least long before they categorized the activities) and while on principle you are correct - that H4 can be tough solo, especially since 7.0 - knowing Bioware, they won't change a thing... just use a stealther and that H4 is done in 30 seconds.

I once switched back and forth between loadouts (to try and check stuff) and had indeed a tactical disappearing as well... BUT it re-appeared in my mail - so you should check your mail to see if the system mailed the missing piece back to you. and btw the feature that you can use your legacy storage to hold the pieces of a loadout is bugged right now (there is already a thread around here somewhere) ... so it is always safer to stash everything in your inventory

just to make sure: You are NOT at max rep with the Underworld Syndicate, yes?

I don’t necessarily think that this is bugged… I did it solo today, got the rescued 10 achievement, but not the 5-9… though ofc technically 5-9 (or in your case 1-4) is included in the 10 but not achievement-wise. I think you can only get it IF you really only have 1-4 or 5-9 prisoners following your character when you reach the elevator. But that means, you have to do it with at least one other person…

+1 YES PLEASE It is annoying or at least quite inconvenient to try and find a group to do that FP… it really should have a story mode!

You are so very correct, Vet FPs = processed, MM FPs = refined, sorry for that Pity, that MM RR with a stealther is not possible to solo anymore (though I still kill the first 2 bosses occasionally for some left sides & refined - gf is not an option for me due to my odd hours) But the slicing advise from the poster above is sound! (I need to try that one too)

Ok, now I am a bit irritated to put it diplomatically… Why do you want to nerf telekinetic/lightning?!? What have we done to you?! It can’t be our damage output now, can it? 🤨

yeah, the respawn timer for the Black Sun Heroic is still too long - and even if you don't want to kill the 15 you still need those mobs because they drop the key card ... so a shorter timer is necessary they should have done it like the Tython Heroic: the respawn timer is ~30 seconds I think AND the cool thing: if more people are in the cave the respawn timer is even shorter - feels like only ~10 sec

Those blue 320 trash pieces (as I call them) can drop anywhere But Vet FPs (can) drop blue (upgradable) left sides (I solo RR quite regularly- need/want those blue drops for my alts)

The dropping of green and occasional blue 320s is there since 7.1 (instead of the little bags with the useful currencies 🤨 )… so those seem to be totally useless since they are not upgradable (and they are always 320 no matter your actual iRating)… you get a meager amount of TFs and CQC (green) or TFs and WZ (blue) BTW bosses of Vet FPs can drop blue left sides (relics, ear, implants) And so much yes to further exchange stuff, just let us exchange all for all! (TFs for DRMs, CQCs for FP-currency……)

you are quite right - the Jawa Scrap isn't as easy to come by anymore ... BUT if you feel comfortable to do Vet Flashpoints (or MM) then your RIS-stock should never dwindle because those drop from the bosses. I do a couple of Vet FPs (mostly solo - stealthy Red Reaper ^^) each week to get blue left side gear for alts, Refined Isotope Stabilizers, FP-Currency and Casino chips - so it is quite worth it for the time spent...

Is it worth it (to skip)? Well, that depends… did you already play all the original class stories (aka have you legendary status)? If yes and you ran all available expansions with more than one character, then sure, skip ahead. If not, then I wouldn’t recommend skipping (the original [origin] stories and the Revan expansion are worth it). If you create a lvl 70 character all companions will be level 1 (someone correct me if there are some exceptions)
