Please stop trying to group us as being Oceanic. The only people those servers benefit are the OZ/NZ players as the rest of Asia has half the latency connecting to the west coast of the US as trying to connect to OZ. Those of us playing from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and anywhere else aren`t going to roll characters or play there. Realize as long as you have physically located the servers there your are losing about 80 percent of your `oceanic` player base to the harbinger or other `unofficial oceanic server.` As long as your engine doesn`t support separate downtimes for server regions your gonna keep losing people who want to raid during prime time. If OZ/NZ don`t have the players...they just don`t have the players.

Guess common sense might not be a strong point. Servers go down for weekly. Servers come up. Everyone tries to log on at same time to most populous server. Que says 30 min..but its actually 10 while login server verifies and moves people onto server. Much qq in forums while waiting.

If you want to run it...get a group of 3 like-minded people together. T5 used to be a hella slog, so they removed half the trash. People used to pull the last boss miles away out of the room, so they reduced his aggro range. If you want to gear your new 50....good on you. Don't make those of us who have run the op literally hundreds of times wait around for your learning curve. Same argument made for watching convos and not spacebarring. If you want to watch it, get a group together. Don't expect 3 strangers to waste their time while you get your 'immersion.' Don't have 3 friends in game? Join a guild. I have run tons of guildies on gear runs through fp, and not once used groupfinder to inflict the pain on others at random.

I call shenanigans....I unlocked on test in about 4 hours. Once the shop was online I rolled a lvl 1 sith sorc. Sent a couple million credits to the new toon. Paid one million to unlock HK for an imp character under legacy. Started using. And he rocks. Yes, his armor and gear is all tionese level and he cant use the stuff he comes with till youre 50. But have already crafted motor and parts from cybertech and threw em on him and he can use those as you level. He absolutely rocks early on. Started at level one with my presence bonuses at 2.5k hp to my 300 or such. That char is 12 now and hes round 3.5k with no gear and is fun as hell to play with. So trophy away.

Was wondering why when you have an update you take the forums down. Can access the rest of the site. Just the forums are locked. If I click on this through a twitter link can get into different topics. Seems like you don't want the community to have too much free time on their hands being able to point out different issues that are still wrong with the game. Why have test down at the same time as regular servers? We know they're not linked. Just seems to be more of the same ''If we keep em off, they can't complain"

Rest assured, you are not owed any assurances.

Because KP nightmare was as easy to farm as SM EC. no more black hole comms in story EC? | 09.28.2012, 12:18 PM I asked Ahmad Zabarah (a Senior Designer) to share some more details about this change. The reason we removed the Commendations from Story Mode is that it is our goal to separate Story Mode Operations from Operation progression going forwards. In the previous setup, Story Mode was the best way to farm Black Hole Commendations, which wasn't our intent for the different difficultly modes. Going forward, Hard Mode and Nightmare mode will be the source of progression in Operations. We did, however, add Black Hole Commendations to the weekly Explosive Conflict mission, so you can also obtain the Commendations that way. So to point out before you rage, look at the line from the middle of the dev post. In the previous setup, Story Mode was the best way to farm Black Hole Commendations, which wasn't our intent for the different difficultly modes.

Its to keep them nasty gold spammers off of random worlds where theyre hard to track down. Most wont go to the trouble of running all the way to a ship cause they are gonna be reported and deleted in a day anyways. Thats why you only ever occasionally see the gold seller spam on starter worlds...and maybe for a couple of hours on fleet once they hit 7. It was also done to stop the people afking low level alts on ilum on chest spawns back in the day when it could still be done.

an ignore system similar to the ignore chat system, which will in turn exclude you from being grouped via the group finder with people you do not wish to play with. Already in place.

Just make sure not to have Dorne with you when you go to see Jaxo...she's the jealous type.

Pasted from another post I did. Today , 02:45 PM | #7 EDIT REPORT POST QUOTE If youre considering bel/ilum dailies a path to endgame youre going about it all wrong. Bel/ilum are for running from 47-50 in two days. After that no one with any sense does them anymore. You hit 50 and do black hole for your weekly 6 comms, you run to the pvp terminal and get your recruit gear which is just sub columi. Slap on recruit gear. Que for random fp tier1 to knock out daily for 5 bh comms. Pop in..apologize for being a new 50, most people understand and are so overgeared at this point dont care. Roll need on columi or exotech gear that drops that fits your spec/class. swap out recruit gear for new columi pieces. once your bout half columi throw your hat in the ring for sm EV/KP. At this point overgeared are running em weekly out of pure boredom for the 5 comms. Run at least your daily HM tier1 fp for your 5 comms. Once you have 35 comms buy a piece of black hole belt, bracers, implant or ear, or save till you have 60 and buy your head or chest. This can be done in under a week. Once youve swapped out all that nasty recruit gear for columi and about half BH run EC SM which most are farming weekly now too. I know your gonna say I need two hundred daily comms for my relic. But you get daily comms off boss kills in fp now and most classes bis atm is gained through pvp now anyways. Spend some time on google and youtube and get the appropriate matrix shard. Most classes can get the 3 colors they need fairly easily and the shard is just as good as endgame relic in most cases. By the time you gear out your char this way new content will be out. You might not be up to snuff for running HM 1.4 but you might actually be able to get into story mode since apparently is gonna be much easier than hard mode and geared for chars rakata/columi level. I have 4 50s. One full campaign tank, a healer in all bh or higher....and two dps char in all bh who have yet to enter a raid. So while you may be concentrating on what you think is the way to reach endgame....other options are out there. There ya go...edited into nice bite-sized chunks that even your teach of a sister can understand.

Today , 03:21 PM | #11 REPORT POST QUOTE I have a friend who got to about level 25 before I realised she hadn't a clue about the skill tree, she said she wondered why it was always flashing. Classic...Im sure she drives her car around with the change oil light on too.

LOL..its declined to 0...since they turned out the lights a couple days before this went live for pre-orders.

Had the Jablowme legacy till last week...got reported. So now I have the Jareportme legacy which still fits character names Heywood, Wydont, and Iloveitwhen.
