My next step is return to Lana Beniko on Vailken Spacedock. However when I enter the story instance, nothing happens. the NPC doesn't populate. There is nothing clickable. I filed a bug ticket 3 hours ago. Still no response

What is the item level for the best level 450 gear? Specifically, I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to level synthweaving to 450 on a level 55 sage so that I could make good armor for myself. Also, if I changed crew skills later, would I still be able to wear the gear? Thanks in advance!

What plans are underway for more solo content and endgame? Daily repeatables are tedious at best and I suspect a large percentage of the population either does not enjoy or does not have an oppurtunity for group play. Something like flashpoints, but designed so a single player would be AMAZING (think skirmishes from LOTRO).

I get that many people are going to be jumping at the first opportunity to change from low population servers to higher population servers. More opportunities for groups, sell crafted goods and Pvp. Makes complete sense to me. What I dont get is why the developers think that there would be any significant movement from a high population server to a lower population servers. There are minimal server queues, so it is not like you would have to wait 20 minutes to start playing. There are no real benefits. I think that this begs the question of what would incent people to move to low population servers. I, for one, have multiple toons of various levels spread across a number of servers. I would really like the ability to unite them. I would consider moving to a low population server if i could do this. Some kind of bonus might convince some to change servers. 10% more experience or legacy or cash from quests. Maybe some social gear, a unique emote or a title. Perhaps, even a unique spaceship. Perhaps you allow players to pick from a small list. According to http://www.torstatus.net/bondar-crystal/history/7d there are 98 north american servers that have had light population or lower continuously for the past 7 days. There have been TWO servers that have averaged standard or higher. There are 37 out of 45 European servers that have had 7 days of continuous light or lower population and ZERO that have averaged standard or higher. I am greatly concerned that this opportunity to rebalance the servers wil fail and that the game will suffer greatly as a result. you would have some people move from very low population servers to whatever server you allow them to transfer to. A very small smattering move for other reasons. This will still not address the basic issues. I appreciate you being much more cautious than where you opened up dozens of new servers within the first couple of weeks, only to see most of these servers empty six months later. But to think that simply allowing the opportunity to move from one server to another will somehow fix this mess is a lack of understanding of human behaviour. For the sake of this game and its future, I strongly request that you consider more agressive options to address the vacant servers.

It is extraordinarily disapointing to see the blue or purple light showing that you have notable loot waiting for you at the end of the fight, only to pick it up and discover that you cant wear it or it has the wrong stats on it. I get the RNG is the RNG, but this has happened to me know 4 times on this toon and is only level 26. I would MUCH rather not get blue or purple drops in the open world than to have them and they are useless. It seems to me that that would make them even rarer and more special. Yes, I guess that i could theoritically save for an alt or for a companion ro sell, but any of those really cheapens it. You have the drops in Operations titled towards the classes that are present. Please do the same for blue and purple gear in the open world.

Very well said. i like this game. I REALLY want to continue playing it for the next 10 years. However, there are large gaps and miscalculations that may force me to move on sooner rather than later. Crafting, with the exception of Bio is near pointless at level cap. There is also a staggering lack of solo content available. I understand what that MMO means multiplayer-but that is not an option for all. It would be amazing if there were a few instances that could be run solo at endgame with a reward equal to the time and effort needed to complete them. No, running dailies on three planets doesn't count. No all of us like to pvp or do operations. Not asking for the world, but SOMETHING would be really appreciated.

Trying to decide what crafting skill would be the most useful at 50.Background-level 20 Commando with a level 50 assasin on another server. These are my options as I understand them. 1) Armortech. Should get me a decent set of crafted purples after going green to blue to purple to better purple. In theory, this would get me a considerable on my gear and a some income stream from selling orange gear with augments slots new 50 commandos. 2) Cybertech. Armor, mods, and ship parts. Probably close to the same kind of gear advantage as armortech.Theoritically larger market. 3) Diplomacy, Treasure hunting, and underworld trading. No gear advantage. The idea is to sell the companion gifts and the crit results. Potentially very large revenue stream that would be used to purchase a headstart on gear and mods. 4) Slicing, Treasure Hunting and Underworld trading. Idea is to get my own single use missions and sell crit items. Again, very large cash stream, but no gear advantage. 5) bio-reuables (for now), implants. Some gear advantage. decent revenue stream, but this is what 80% of everyone seems to go with(for good and for bad) I know that there is a large cash outlay required to purchases all of the skills and items like your speeder at level 50, but i see little use in having piles of cash after that. Any useful suggestions are genuinely appreciated!

Any ideas what is going on?

Just an FYI, one of the things that I learned while receiving my MBA was that you allow experts to be experts. You can plan, theorize, and number crunch to any extent you feel necessary but those results are only as good as the underlying assumptions. Healing HARD now. I base this on my PVE experience while leveling AND by the considerable anecdotal evidence offered by people with considerably more practical experience in many other aspects of the game where I am not the expert. Please note that I said hard, not impossible. I believe that successful strategies and tactics are available, but it will take experience and adaptation. I also choose to believe that when Bioware realizes that they have gone too far that we will be buffed, hopefully to a happy medium. But I don't expect that to happen soon.

I am playing a lightside Sorcerer. Needless to say Khem and I dont get along very well, so I stopped using him as soon as I got Andronikus. Imagine my surprize when I discovered that I would need to use Khem for the quest Legacy. No biggie, must just be part of the story. WRONG!! He needs to tank Darth Zash-in his mighty level 21-24 level gear when she is an elite level 32. Even full healing speced I cant keep him from dying inside of 20 seconds-and all hope of winning the fight soon thereafter. I have wiped 4 times because of your poor choice My options now are either to spend a fortune to gear him OR put off my class quest till I can solo her. Please end the stupidity and allow ALL companions to be used!

it is completely infuriating that I get through the first two stages of a bonus and talk the the wrong npc so the bonus quest dissappears. I understand that we do not want a screenful of quests, but either a warning or let us abondon them or SOMETHING would be much better. Sorry to rank, but this is really annoying....

This is exactly my concern. Thousands of players will be FORCED to pay the new high price of tier 3 after having already paid the soon to be reduced price of the tier 1 and tier 2. A refund is the only fair solution.

i would suggest that you wait until at least 1.2 comes out. Accordint to deeveloper comments, they are seriously boosting crafting

or at least the recording that plays every time you enter the spaceport needs to be turned off. I find myself sneaking around trying to avoid the hologram and groaning loudly if I happen to get too close. MAYBE having it play once is ok. Perhaps even once per toon (altaholic here lol)-But this is ridiculous.

Complete and utter fail!!!!!
