Probably not much of an implication. EA makes a lot of games and the dip is in no way tied to just the performance of star wars. For all we know star wars subs maybe helped prevent the shares dropping lower. You also need to factor in all the other games they produce, sometimes it feels like virtually every second or third game i see advertised is in some way linked to EA. With the exception of Blizzard/Activision, which they described as an outlier, the other games companies mentioned were in decline in the case of THQ or doing poorly like Zynga. I think its more the general games industry is in a decline at the moment.

I make quite a bit from low level metal missions, you get less per item but still more than enough to make money and the missions are faster to run. Its easy to split stacks why would I bother rushing to the auction every 20-30. Either I sell then now or later, why would I be bothered about putting items on as fast as possible. If I don't have any idea what to sell for I go with roughly 2x the cost of running a moderate mission for that item as a minimum with extra for critted items. Its not reusables that are driving continuous demand its the blue quality items. People will generally make or buy one reusable for themselves then never buy another for that character. People without biochem buy the blues. Still the mats will be in demand. In 1.3 though there should also be a demand for grade 6 scavenging/arch materials for people making items to get augment slots. When was this written, most people are endgame and Ilum is generally ignored now. About the only good advice is but that's a no-brainer anyway as the other ones give crafting items available from the crew skills vendor.

Sure lets not buy low sell high. It is only one of the fundamental rules of both in game and real world trading.

Done it a few times myself, I tend to be more the fool that gets through the spaceport then chooses the option to return to my ship instead of taking shuttle to planet.

To get to high security lockdown take the speeder to industrial sector and go into the republic research area. At the bottom right of the map is an elevator that you take to network security. From there just head south into the high security lockdown. No need to do the bonus series but the bonus series does take you there.

It always says there will be a patch to install when they advise of maintenance so this does not mean its 1.3. I think when they put 1.2 up the maintenance announcement said it was for 1.2. This is just the usual maintenance.

To be honest this is how I expected the transfers to go and am happy its slower than people want. At first they will probably be doing small batches with people checking to make sure the transfer went as expected which will be slower but if something does go wrong gets picked up quickly and the process fixed. As time goes on and they are happy the system works they will then probably start doing larger batches of transfers with less checks speeding things up. Eventually they will reach a point where they are happy to just let things run automatically. I prefer this to them potentially doing thousands of transfers then finding out a high percentage of them failed.

Its not just drops from mobs that give legacy items. I have had legacy items from the 340 crew skill missions, I recall treasure hunting and slicing which fits with these giving Artifact quality lockboxes but I think I may have also received them from the diplomacy missions which doesn't give lockboxes.

You would need to do the story missions if you want all the companions (anywhere between hoth and belsavis depending on class to unlock them all I think). If you are happy with just the first companion and the ship droid then your plan is reasonable. Also completing the story mission to after hoth has the benefit of unlocking legacy buffs on your main.

Looks like 1.3 could be going up on test server now, test server is down and my launcher starts downloading patch for test server.

Could be they are going to use the time to upgrade the PTS to 1.3.

I think one of the main reasons is its a way to reset gear itemisation. If you keep the level but keep increasing gear stats you either have classes so far into diminished returns that the new gear is pretty much pointless as the stats give little or no gains or they need to mess around with the way stats work at a more fundamental level breaking the balance of existing lower content.

I'd report this as a bug, she should not have been a guest since you finishes coruscant. In the meantime to use her for crafting open the crafting on another companion and change to her using the dropbox on the mission screen,

In Empire Strikes Back Han was able to use a lightsaber which i always took to mean he had some force ability even if latent. So there ya go a smuggler with force abilities in the films.
