Dev's introduced a hotfix this morning to fix some problems with Whip's Force Sensitive quests and vendor functionality. Details follow:

*** Update Notes September 29, 2004 *** Whip's Quest Made some changes to Whip's phase two Force sensitive quest: * The crate of supplies will be automatically placed in your inventory when you arrive at the crashed transport (resolves certain issues with the crate not spawning, spawning in a tree, underwater, under a house etc.) * If you cannot find the transport crash site or are still unable to obtain the crate of supplies for any reason, you can return to Whip and request a new site to search for. Vendors The timer for Unused vendors becoming in danger of getting deleted was changed from 14 days to 100 days. The timers on Empty vendors were unchanged. Empty vendors still become in danger of deletion after 14 days, and then get deleted if they remain empty for an additional 14 days. This means that the code for Unused vendors is likely to never get called. An Unused vendor will end up Empty and later get deleted before the 100 day timer can kick in.

Tommorow's update notes can be found by reading on. What's on Deck -- September 30th, 2004 Jedi * Visibility is now cleared upon completion of a successful bounty hunter mission against the Jedi. This fixes an issue where bounty TEFs were not clearing. All bounty TEFs will now be cleared correctly upon death from a bounty hunter. Force Sensitivity * Fixes players who have completed the FS village phase 2 crafting quest who did not get their skills opened. * Fixes players who failed the FS village phase 2 crafting quest by going to another planet and receiving a “Failed Mission” message upon leaving the planet. All players doing this quest should no longer receive a “failed mission” message. * Power up reward from the village Search and Destroy missions can no longer be used on lightsabers. Padawan Trials * Fix for players who fail or quit the Padawan trials, and then when they start again cannot tune a light crystal. This also allows players currently in this state to use a Force shrine and it will automatically fix the problem for them.
