Well, you know BioWare and their love of lame RNG rules. Now, roll 3d6 for initiative.... aww, you rolled less than 12...no loot for you!

I believe that, too. But, I would like to see a gold post saying as much. They weren't really clear on it in the stream.

The Dev team realy need to nip this in the bud by clarifying things. Is the only way to get set gear through the new unassembled drops in Ops/PvP? Or, will it still come along via RNG in crates in addition to the new way that is being implemented?

I like the change, but wish it was retroactive. I have several toons which are just bank toons for cartel stuff I don't want to just destroy. I did, after all, spend real world dollars on that stuff. Is there any chance of older items which came out of Cartel Market Packs ever being able to be placed into the Stash? I would really like to clean up my inventory and get rid of those toons. And don't try that "It would take up too much space in the database." stuff. The items are already there and already exist in the database, I would just like to place them into a new folder.

Quit your whining. You don't see any of the APAC players saying, "Why don't you move it to 1pm PST - 5 pm PST so that it's not interrupting our play time?" Do you? And these are people who have a constant 5-6 hour difference between when they play and most of their server populations play.

Exactly as stated. They know about the exploit and are giving everyone who logs in ample warning not to participate in it. Nothing directed to you personally, it's for ALL players.

I don't see how they could have been any more clear about their intentions to new factions or playable character classes. There is more information out there that what other players post in reddit and the forums. 8. Is the Outlander a new class in Star Wars: The Old Republic? No, Knights of the Fallen Empire keeps the 8 core classes, but your character’s story becomes that of the Outlander, a veteran of the Great Galactic War. from the FAQ: http://www.swtor.com/support/helpcenter/7418

Are the crystals supposed to be unlock-able with cartel coins in the collections tab? Or, is this just an inadvertent bug that came with showing them in collections? I can see the crystals as part of my collections from one toon to the next, but when I click the account wide cartel coin button, nothing happens. I would prefer to do it this way instead of having to open each individual box and place the crystals into my weapons. A thought might be to automatically unlock it on the account in collections once they have been placed into one toon's weapon.

Three years and the BioWare Community Team can't manage to post something?...anything? on these forum about an app similar to Blizzard's Armory app? I've spent a ton of money on this game and could even see paying $4 - $5 (although, I think it should be free to all) for a decent app that would allow us to check mail, send companions out on missions, see what gear/mods we're using and maybe be able to buy and sell on the GTN. What's so hard about it? I can understand the account security implications of not allow an API hook to the general public. But, Bioware has access to it. They can't afford the SDK? None of their developers know how to code in Webkit or use the SDK? Come on BioWare, get on the ball and give us an app.

First, I appreciate the update on where things stand. Thanks, Bruce. Second, do you folks who cherish your precious forums think that they are going to tell you everything they have planned or are working on for future release? Get real. Lastly, if you guys have such great ideas on how to run the game, take your l33t coding skillz and move to Austin and get a job. Otherwise you're just talking to hear your own voice. You aren't covering any new ground, just like at every Cantina Event where the same people ask the same tired questions that they have heard "no comment" on before (or have already been answered previously).

In the email sent out yesterday, there is the line: Conquest Events: use the power of your Stronghold to dominate these events and earn rewards. You've always refered to player housing as a Stronghold and Guild housing as a Flagship. Can I read this to be that we will use our personal Stronghold somehow to compete in these events? Or, should it have been Flagship and not Stronghold?

Not only not stackable with no cooldown timer, but, they are also worth zip, zero, nada with the vendors. I thought they learned this lesson with the Makeb rep tokens...guess they get to learn again.

Great! New event, new rep and new stuff....BUT, no idea when it starts on the 14th? Midnight CDT? Midnight PDT? or just whenever BioWare gets around to flipping the switch?

While I fully agree and am just as frustrated (I had been logged in for about 15 minutes). And, I also agree that they should have updated the launcher, the Dev tracker and the System Alerts page, you do realize that the first BW post on this thread was 18 hours ago? Right?

Thanks for the updated info...now, do you think it would have been a good idea to update the System Alerts page? That's where I go for this type of info...not the forums to some random sticky.
