August 2nd Patch Notes

Here are the notes from today's patch: ------------- August 2nd -Fixed a problem where crafting components (especially DNA for bioengineers) could get duplicated by walking across server boundaries -Fixed a significant problem which could cause one gameserver to get extremely slow - had to do with a player who is followed by a pet into their house when their house is on a server boundary. Happened rarely, but when it did happen, the server would be slow until it was bounced (frequently hours). We believe this is fixed. -Fixed a problem where, when doing missions for the Rebel or Hutt Themepark, you'd be told your mission reward was placed in your inventory - but you were told this on missions where the only reward was faction and credits, misleading you into thinking you were supposed to get an object. This message has been fixed. -Fixed a problem where some static spawns respawned much too quickly (making for people camping there and killing the thing in question over and over).

I played test and the changes they havent done yet are gonna irk you more than this small nerf did. They seem concerned about lairs spawning 2 babies first ... Did i miss something ?> Who the Fark is keeping track of what spawns from a lair. Oh and when you loot them they will be much smaller amounts than on adults. Again... this solves NO problems that the actual players have .

On junk vendors . they should be removed. PERIOD. If you loot ANYTHING (which why loot , no scout xp) it is trash. It's worse than the worst artisan could make with the worst supplies.

Let's See , Also The Lairs ...

So let me see if I follow. People Liked these places ... so much in fact that they were "camping " them. And the reason to get rid of them is what ?> Negative Customer Approval Ratings that go up>? Been to Narglatch and Jedi caves in last 2 days . Please folks, unless you have a group under 10 people and you're SURE no one else is there, dont bother it's a long run for nothing the spawn times are so far between it's 3/4 downtime at least now.

Ok For those of you who want Gear insead of creds from missions - Sorry. That's not what they wanted here , see Weaponsmith/Armorsmith/Droid engineer etc. etc. those classes would because useless if MoB's dropped anything so deal with that. And yes that means that doing faction missions is pointless as every rebel/imp you kill will drop something you will need to destroy. Pointless aside from faction, which I had 2000+ imp points + 3 ranks in Imperials and couldnt do the Emperor retreat and get squat. Same with Jabbas whos missions require you not to have any Negative Thug faction or the NPC you need to talk to will only let you attack or examine.

Other Miscellaneous... How the hell did they even find out that DNA was being replicated when you ran across "server lines" Who's telling they got to much stuff and wants it fixed ?

Casinos - WTF waste of time .. you can bet 3 credits on a slot machine. .... ummm 3 credits ? I wouldnt even if it was 1000 personally. but 3? and the roulette wheel has no graphic ... you just type /bet amount (number) ... frikkin junk. EVEN GEMS WAS BETTER ....(eq)

actually....smugglers definitely need crap weapons in order to raise their slicing skill, takes hundreds of weapons to make it from slicing2 to slicing 4 (I had several bags of junk weapons saved up and still had to go buy alot off of the bazaar and started making my own lol)...soo that is one way to get rid of them in a useful way....but i agree...you should definitely be able to sell em at least for a little...or maybe recyle them for some metal lol

Should be called the "August 2nd Nerf Notes"

I would like to see a few more fixes applied instead of just a list of exploit patches.
Missions no good in this game

Yay, instead of making the missions worthwhile and actually rewarding, they just removed the message that made us hopeful.

Missions in this game are not rewarding in any way whatsoever. I remember when I played DAOC, I would pick a mission, go and do it, and be happy in knowing that I would get a reward for my hard work. This is not the case here.

I should have specified, quests, instead of missions. Missions are a way of getting money quick. Takin me a bit to differentiate between the two. I played DAOC where pretty much every mission had some plot, and I played Anarchy Online for about one week. It had mission terminals, but I honestly couldn't stand the game.

The theme parks in this game are disappointing. After doing Jabba's and the Emperor's I have yet to recieve a reward. I'm thinking about going back with another imp character on the imperial theme park though, with 1500 faction this time. Can someone verify that you do in fact get rewards then? That's what I've read.

to me, missions are just a quick way to make money.

one of the biggest problems i see with this game is no vendors that will buy stuff like CDEF pistols and staffs and other random nonsense you loot. The junk vendors are a joke.

I agree with you jake. 6 credits for selling him 4 or 5 items. Why even bother. They should at least have vendors that will buy player items even if just at a cheap cost. Keeps from destroying everything since NOBODY even a small distance into the game is gonna want your crap.
