Hot diggity, you guys are still down! I certainly understand that happens, but I hope ya'all learn from your mistakes here and maybe put some safeguards in place to avoid a future repeat. I mean, I read some of the arguments and I understand that some people should have a back up plan, and go take a break. I certainly did, but that was 4 maybe 5 hours ago. This is a little discouraging as person whom made damn sure they didn't let their subscription lapse so I could be the first to enjoy some fine new content. Anyhow, God Speed to ya'all, and may Good Mother Fortune temper the fiery resentment and foul moods this whole incident has provoked with some damn good story and game play. You see, we all come here to escape the mundane, isn't that right, folks? We've been working and going to school and doing chores, all that stuff, right? We wanna be in a galaxy far, far away! Let those lightsaber's vroom and those blaster cannon's boom, we're all itchin' to play! We can be forgiving, sure. But let's get this caboose rolling for gotssake!

Yes, can we please get this fixed. It's one of my favorite decorations and its a drag to see them not working.

Wait, you need to step outside the box because you see crafting in an extremely limited capacity. I rarely use the items I craft (unless I'm leveling a new toon,) I sell them. And, trust me, if you can reverse engineer, say a great implant or earpiece, with the right stats, you can make a lot of credits, no matter the level. But it's not easy. It's a huge time and resource investment. But if you are (were) up to the challenge, the payback was well worth it. Not to mention it was fun! This whole process is being nuked. As far as variation in crafted items goes, I'm sorry, it's being dumbified. We'll all be making the same 2 or 3 variations of an item (as opposed to hundreds of variations in some cases,) and undercutting to the point it won't even be worth crafting items to sell. And, not to mention, it will be boring. I'm not unreasonable. If BW feels that crafting need a few minor tweeks I would be okay with that. But they are dumbing it down to such an extremity that a very fun and unique aspect of the game is going for good - Hiroshima style. I stand by my original statement. The game is going through the process of dumbification. And there are a lot of crafters in this game that are not happy at the moment. The Cartel Market already killed half of the crafting in the game and now the rest is off to the gallows in the name of transient players. R.I.P Swtor Crafting. R.I.P my kick *** aim/surge/crit/accuracy implant that I spent days and days perfecting. P.S. If you feel like the people that don't understand the difference between aim and cunning need help, try explaining it to them. That's what I do. That's what veteran players are there for.

Trust me, crafting is being dumbified. The vast majority of items (anywhere from 50 to 75%) that can be crafted now will become obsolete in 4.0. Dumb-dee-dumb-dumb. But we need to watch out for the 1 player in 500 that doesn't understand the difference between aim and cunning, right?

I've spent countless hours and resources r-engineering schematics in order to buy what I want without spending more that 15 dollars a month. Apparently it was a waste of time, no? Hello, Bioware? Why? Let me guess, less crafted goods on the market = more cartel goods on the market, right? Boo! I might understand tweaking the crafting system a little, but this is no minor tweak - this is a decimation. This is an atom bomb. I'm beside myself on this one. No wonder you have yet to make an official announcement. Your players aren't going to be happy and you know it. Grrrr!

I have not paid much attention to exactly when all details are released in the past, so I will take your word for it. And I realize there is some minimal promotion going on too. I'm just really surprised that there is nothing on the official website. More than anything that is what confounds me. With RotHC, GSF, Strongholds, and Revan, (all "major" updates/expansions) there was a dedicated page on their website long before a week out. But, whatever, this is not the first time Bioware has confused me. I guess I just care about the game. Many of my friends, friends since release, have recently stopped playing. Maybe if they had easier access to what is coming to the game they might at least come back and have a look... But, then again, maybe not.

It's a week out from the release of 3.2, one of two major game expansions and/or updates of 2015 and I am surprised to see no promotion on the site or other media outlets. I am familiar with the content released on the test server, but I have heard rumors that there is more content included in the update including a new arena map and a one boss operation. Is Bioware waiting until release date to give us all the details or is the content on the test server all that will be released with the update? Typically several weeks before a release of a "major update" there is a big push to promote it, including a page on the official site. However, with 3.2 there has been nothing of the sort. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that there is additional content. The 2 hours of game play on the PTS was fun, granted, but it wasn't anything like previous "major" game updates. Do we already have all the details or is there more to 3.2 than has been announced? And why is Bioware not hyping their next major update? What up, Austin?

Yeah, I can't find a way to solo the last story arc fp, or any of them for that matter. It sucks. I don't mind doing it in a group, but the queue is dead.

Yeah, I suppose I was just had some extreme bad luck. I have got a crit a couple of times now. But it still seems far less often for me. And this is my main. All my companions are at full affection.

Update: After numerous missions, and the entire damn day, I have Verpine Fiber X 3, and Havod x 214. It's not encouraging, but I'll take it.

I have been running 450+ Investigation missions all day, (and have been at 500 for many hours,) and have not once got the new purple research compound, Verpine Fiber. To put this in perspective, I currently have 178 blue research compound, Havod. I am running six crew members non-stop. Am I just having an incredibly bad luck streak, or do you have to have a mission in order to get it, or is it bugged? Does anyone know? I'm a little baffled at this point.

This is good advice. Thank you.

I might try that. Using my keys to turn. It just sucks because the whole reason for getting the mouse was to avoid clicking and keyboard turning. It looks like I may have to do one or the other in warzones. It's flustering, I say. Maybe I just need some more practice. As of now I am using the w button as forward and a and d to strafe. But it is not working well when I have to click so damn often. If it were only once in a while that would be a different story., but I have to click a ton.

But I only see an option to assign any keys to players 1 through 4. How do you get 5 through 8?

Please, can someone tell me if there is a way to program a Razer Naga to auto target more than four group members? I find it extremely troublesome having to click every time I want to heal. It disrupts my movement. Any tips?
