Hello, I just had this issue and have gotten it to clear. When I arrived at the location the map was showing the quest marker at (purple triangle), there was a lit beacon already and none i could interact with. I then found this thread, so didn't bother with resetting the mission or leaving the planet. Instead, I used Quick Travel to the Iziz City Center, then hopped on the travel bird thingy there and flew back to the station marked as purple. Then when I went to the marked location, there was the blue beacon waiting for me to start the mission. Perhaps the issue is you need to start at the correct travel spot? Hope that helps the others.

Pretty sure this isn't correct. Any class main stat is better than power, I've yet to see an exception to that. Your Main Stat impacts more than just dmg, and as such, will always provide more benefits than Power. Then, it would seem Power > Crit > Surge > Accuracy End means nothing to a DPS, it's only for Tanks. For them, End is tops, even over their main stat, when picking Armor mods, and other choices where the main stat and End are offered in both versions. Power seems to be like main stats with no diminishing returns, but I'm not sure of that. With Crit and Surge, there are definite Diminishing Returns. Surge, above 200, has a terrible return. seems best to only try to top 200 with buffs, as using gear is just wasting another stat (if there are options) Crit is a different animal. Likely up to 1000 is viable without hitting the DR terribly bad. But it's definitely for Infiltration spec. Balance will want to use a power based build. Crit / Surge are also more for PvP if you are looking for high, instantaneous damage output. Which is the what Infiltration specs does best Something I need to do now is see if there is a middle point, with surge up around 200, and with various combos of power/crit to see if there's sweet spot for a higher crit value with a slightly below max power. Hope that helps.

i just want Jaxo on my team. perhaps in expansion 1 come one BW, just DO IT already!

Thank you for taking on the hardest task in gaming. Bring SW to life for those of use who've been fans since 1977 when we first saw that Star Destroyer flying over our heads and we ducked in our seats out of shear shock and awe. Thank you for being patient coders, and having good insight into how to create entertaining worlds, and not giving in to pressure to hurry your product to market. I know in 3 yrs this game will be very different than it is now, but that's an MMO for you. You've kept us with our figures pounding refresh for months waiting for Friday updates, shown amazing snippets of the game, and now that we're in, the best praise I can give is, guildmates of mine from Lotro who are very into that "background", played in beta because they didn't know if you could deliver (I never doubted, I trust you and Blizzard to deliver, no other companies have earned that right over the past decade and a half), and pre-ordered before the end of their first beta experiences. For me, that is the ultimate praise for your work, converting a person on the fence into a fan and customer. Well done. just continue to give us more is all I ask (and a family pricing system, cause there's no way I'm paying for 4 full 6 month subs at a time ) thank you to the entire team, you all have done a wonderful job, and I hope the full launch continues as smoothly as the EA has.

When Mortar is up i start with that, as simply put, it kills all the trash mobs quickly and leaves the big ones damaged and angry at me Then I'll do the sticky and normal grenades, then closer if need be for a pulse cannon. by then most stuff is dead unless we're talking Heroic stuff going on. In a Heroic, I use Mortar mostly to make sure the group is fully aware of where I'm drawing agro from so they don't go attack a side group. You just never know, you know what I mean? otherwise I also start with the 2 grenades, sticky on 1 target then switch to the target I plan to kill first.

well dang, they should change those mouseovers so it says "modifies all Vanguard skills"

your companion stops gathering a node once combat starts, so I don't they will gather mid fight. but if you successfully scan the node but move before picking up the contents, when you come back, it's like looting a corpse, the items simply pop for you to loot, no rescanning.

that is soo funny! glad to know this fellow does this sort thing on the regular. it's just so funny all the people freaking out who ordered last week pretty sure they said they hoped to have all the July people in today or tomorrow, that should be a hint

I'll give it an A-. I've been in since 715am EST with no issues. Wonderful. Only issue I could even remotely complain about, besides all you people whining you're not in yet, is they could have let in about double the people. The servers are actually too low in many areas nothing like running around Coruscant and there's ONLY 34 people there! But as for a "launch" grade, sort of impossible, as the LAUNCH doesn't officially occur until the 20th people! And by the 20th, you'll be so happy they let so many people in early, because the starter areas won't be clogged to death, the AH/GM will likely be well stocked, and you're guildies will be able to make you that uber gear right from the start. And you're not happy with that? sheesh. That'd make an ideal launch if they don't have any queues.
