This has been a problem since day one. But I don't think it's strictly an online/offline thing as many people have suggested. I was able to add three of my friends' characters to my friends list, and they weren't online. However, most of the names I tried to add ran into the problem you mention it. Honestly, it's one of the most annoying bugs I've ever seen in a game, and I'm completely blown away that they haven't even acknowledged it yet that I'm aware of.

OP said "Obvious Reason", that sounds like the exact opposite of "recent addition" and "news" to me.

The OP said he was running FRAPS. Simple solution. Post a video proving you are anywhere near 5 minutes. Otherwise, why are we still discussing obvious hyperbole?

I can't speak for Underworld specifically, but with the other missions I have done (Archaeology and Treasure Hunting), what you choose is what you get. Gemstone missions get me gemstones. Color Crystal missions get me color crystals. Now they may also get me something else. Which I assume it what happens on a crit. But if I get anything, it is what is listed in the description first.

You know, this sort of brings up a problem I have with the RE mechanic in general. There should be some sort of clue when you can discover new schematics from items. As it stands, you are just breaking down items just to break them down. If the items would simply indicate that better items of a certain class were still undiscovered when you have that skill, it would be a huge help.

There are keyboards that allow macros. Not quite as nice as in-game, but it works in a pinch. That's probably what people are talking about.

As of level 21, I'm fine with using Kira against Elites. The only problem I have comes when tryin to take on Champions. I'm not sure if using T7 would improve my odds there or not.

And are you crafting? If so, what? If not, I'm not really sure that adds to this particular conversation.

I would love Hood toggle, for one reason. My Miraluka's mask clips the hood, and makes it look bad. Such a simple solution. Also, a few simple improvements on the Auction House would make large strides towards making it a good system.

It took forever for me to realize that the purple material I needed for one of my recipes was considered Treasure, rather than Archaeology. It was a stupid mistake based on an assumption. But it took me half a day to realize that mistake, and look in the right place. A name search would've prevented the whole problem.

I agree. It's a frustrating experience. Also, at a certain point, I just couldn't put anything else up for sell. No error message, nothing. Just nothing would actually post. I had plenty of money, too. So if there is a limit to the # of items you can post, primarily that's just dumb, but they also need to at least make that clear. But I'm hoping for improvements. Like mentioned above, the filter is ok, but it would work much better as a search instead. I assume that's for performance reasons. But (and I hate to bring up the comparison) WoW can do it, and they have a lot more players than this game does currently. Working the auction house was something that was fun to do in that game. Here, it's pretty painful. I don't even price compare the item, because that would make it even worse.

That's not true. There will be no more wipes.

Yeah, though it makes me wonder what the point of those Mod Stations is.

I know on City of Heroes, they used to boot you if you stayed idle too long to prevent long queue times. From what I can tell, that's not the case here. I've ran by someone standing somewhere, and ran by them again dozens of minutes longer. Still standing in the same place, still doing nothing. That might be something they can do if queues continue to be a problem. Implement a 15-30 minute idle timer.

I seem to be able to Mod my Lightsaber without a customization station.
