For as much money as I've given them, you'd think they could handle spending a portion of it on a server upgrade. Nonsense...

The codex system is something that has been broken since day 1, if the new patch is bringing achievements related to the codex, I certainly hope they've fixed the codex in 2.0.

The thing is most players are geared above the drops that come from the trash in the HM FPs, all they want is the comms at the end of run, because those translate into better gear and/or more credits from RE. A lot of people speed run through on multiple characters to accumulate comms this way. If you really need the gear drops, ask some guildies to do a full run with you.

That may be the case, easier than implementing a new system, I was unaware that they decided on that. I found a flaw in my idea too, cannot simply combine stat with color, power green-black is worth twice as much as end green-black. doesn't really work to combine a +62 plain blue power with a +41 end green-black, still not fair to the guy with the +41 power green-black. So I guess scratch the whole idea lol.

I see on the PTS that crystals for weapons have not changed, i understand how seriously pissed off people would be if their 3 million credit crystals were garbage, but if you introduced a new lvl of crystal, you could simultaneously introduce a system to combine two crystals, the color of a crystal you own with the stats of another crystal you own, give it a cost or have someone craft a kit u need like with the augmentations, and then there is no backlash for new crystal lvls.

Interestingly enough, I just saw in the 2.0 patch notes that they are allowing electrostaffs work with this restriction, can we expand this to include vibroswords please?

Love this idea, the ideas he has in those pics are fantastic. Really cool lookin.

As a shadow i have an ability that requires a double-bladed saber, never bothered me until i wanted to customize my appearance with a vibrosword. Not being able to use 'shadow strike' as an infiltration dps shadow would greatly impact my dps, so i won't be using one, but id certainly like to. Any reason it would be a problem to remove the Weapon restriction?

Your logic here fails, people who do end game ops have all invested a lot of time too, they will automatically get anything they add that you want and still have more cosmetic crap than you. Back to where you started.

I felt that the old cost were reasonable, 5k per death was enough to bother me but not so much that I was afraid to do things (I'm full 63's with augments). 5k is 2/3 - 1/2 of a daily, depending on the daily, now my repair is 11k, more than a daily. I'm not going to play this game like that. HMFPs suck now, full of idiots, now they are gonna cost me 11k per wipe, no thanks. Also, Progression Raid night, = ~10-15 wipes on new bosses. That's a 165k repair bill. Dailies =300k, plus wear and tear, i'm hardly coming out on top. 3hrs dailies for 3 hour raid, not so great.

Yeah I'm still pretty irritated about this, about 1 month after early game access I realized that many codex entries were missing. I spent hours trying to get them all, and short of submitting a ticket for each one of them, which I tried for a few and they ignored me, about 1/5 of them are unobtainable. I know it doesn't directly affect game play, but it tracks your experience in the game, what you've discovered, I want to complete it on my main, 1 year later and I'm still waiting. Now we have an expansion coming up, probably no fix but I'll bet they are adding more to be unlocked in the new planet, half of which you won't be able to get. It shouldn't be very hard to add a trigger in game to update a codex, or add an object, or remove a codex entry from the list for things like titles that cannot be unlocked because the content doesn't exist. This seems like a higher priority than adding crap like speeders and pets, i like them as much as the next guy, but fix what you got before you add more stuff. Of course, they'll warrant that with bringing in more cash, but bringing in a new guy who will end up seeing the same problems seems less important that keeping your current customers happy. You want a long term subscriber, or a f2p who buys a few cartel coins here and there?

This whole thread shouldn't be here, people who make a fuss about story line quests either suck or are under leveled. Make sure you are the quest level, otherwise maybe you should take some time to learn how to play your character, i had a consular (shadow) at 50 during the first month of the games release. There were no problems with game difficulty. I'm not trying to be a jerk but these are the facts.
