Not sure how accurate this info still is, but THANK YOU so much. I've been trying to get a Dark Aim datacron to complete the setup i have in my stronghold.(primary colors in one and secondary colors in the other) and this is the one i have not been able to get. Asked several times on fleet and Nar Shaddaa, plus any time there are more than a couple people on Ilum, but no responses.

All of my characters say the I can not play them until the planet they are on is fully downloaded, even a brand new one. Plus, the download meter on the top right is simply stuck at 99.95% Have tried exiting out a couple times, and it doesn't seem to change anything. On a side note: at least my Legendary status is showing completed on the left.

I completely agree that these should have been nerfed at most. Removing them was probably the single most annoying/frustrating thing i've found in all the class abilities so far, and i have 10 characters, covering every spec, between both sides. (not like that is unique, just mentioning it, for the purpose of stating that ive now seen every spec in 3.0)

There are both a techblade and a techstaff on the Coruscant Commendation vendors. Jorelle on Fleet Station (don't know the name of the one on Coruscant). Level 15 req by default, but it's moddable. It's been on PTS for at least a week or two prior to 1.2 going live. I just verified that it's still on PTS and then double checked that it's there on live (since my new sage is not 15 yet i have not purchased it, but i checked with a higher toon, and they're both there. http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1418/orangetechblade.jpg That's a screenshot from PTS, but as i said i verified that it's on Live, and identical. I was thrilled about it, as the oversight of an orange techblade in game has been something i've been perturbed about with Qyzen since beta myself. Hope this helps.

I took the orange saber from finishing the origin world, bought a similar one, much higher level off a vendor on Tatooine, and ripped out the mods, stuck em in the newbie one, and it was identical to the ones on the vendor. So i don't see that the "base level" has any bearing. Planning to verify this again with a pair of boe oranges i have on my sniper. One level 11 chest i picked up off the galactic market, and a level 31 that dropped on my quiz. Though i suspect the results will be the same there, unless weapons and armor don't behave the same.
