sorry - wrong event thread...

This happened to me last night. I died and was back in the area before the group killed Ulgo Siegebreaker on Alderaan and myself and one other in the group were denied credit for killing the boss. I submitted a ticket and it was closed with an email that basically told me the only thing that I could do was "reset the phase" and try again. Apparently CS in this game is unaware that the world bosses aren't in phases. I wish the CS droids would actually assist customers rather than closing tickets with inadequate responses and without seeing if their response was adequate to solve the problem.

Transferring from a "dead" server that I can actually log on to play on, to a server that is now so full I'd be queued for 20 minutes makes no sense whatsoever. Why did Darth Sion get sent to Drooga's when that server is so dang full already? It seems like the transfers for the last dregs of dead servers wasn't well thoughtout by BioWare.

@Silkforcalde - I chose to roll a character on a PVE server because I wanted to enjoy the story and character progression without getting attacked by another player. Please don't take this the wrong way - I enjoy PvP and PvE both, but I want to PvP in designated zones/worlds or when I choose to flag. I don't want to be focused on a mission objective and be killed by a random player for their own enjoyment as I don't enjoy that. If I did, I would have rolled on a PvP server. Thanks for your opinion and feedback, but I feel that many of us on the PvE servers are here for the same reason - we don't want to PvP when we don't want to. @OP - I completely agree that if a person is healing an NPC on a PVE server, they are griefing and should be reported. This is the same, to me, as the stealthed, flagged PvPers on a PvE server hiding in an NPC mob waiting for a hapless PvE focused player to come along, use an AoE on the mobs and then get autoflagged for PvP without their knowledge. I fully support reporting this as a bug!

Hate to say this, but LOTRO no longer has separate maintenance times. When Turbine took over the European service of LOTRO from Codemasters, they now do all server maintenance at the same time. Sorry that the server downtime is in the middle of when you can play, but it is what it is for now. Best,

BlackJaxy, I completely agree with you. I was talking this over with a friend the other day and we thought that all colors should be available to all factions at some point. We thought about either making a separate mod slot for color crystals (no stat bump) and adding a new type of weapon mod to add stats (a focusing lens - I might have read this somewhere, so if I'm stealing someone else's idea, I apologize - or other items). Another idea we had was keeping the stats as part of the crystal, but the recipe calls for a certain number of a type of power crystal to create the stats you want and then you have to have a certain number of a specific color crystal you want in order to turn the crystal to the color that you want. I am in the same boat as many people here. I think it would be awesome to have color choices sooner, and I know I want a purple saber on at least one of my characters. I'm now getting tired of using the pre-order black-yellow crystal, but the stats are better than anything I can use at my current level, so I stick with it. To recap - colors and stats should be separated and usable by anyone, regardless of faction (I'm on the fence about dark/light alignment restrictions.)

Alexandria, VA here! Darth Sion for my Republic characters and Assassins of Sion for my Empire characters. See you all in game!
