Limit of Abilities

Dec20

I’ve seen this once on the forum and mentioned a few times to me on here about users having their amount of mounts and pets cut off. The number seems to vary as to where, but more or less, when they try to learn a new pet or mount, the learning happens and the item/pet disappears, but the respective item/pet does not actually appear in the abilities tab.

Essentially, you have just lost the item you used. Customer Service is usually able to give the item back to you if this happens, but this doesn’t fix the problem long-term as all you can do is hold the item until this is fixed.

I have yet to have this problem and currently have 40 Pets and 59 Mounts (The Mounts total is including Rocket Boots). However, with some theories over this being a combined total of the 2, I wondered…what if it’s a combination of all abilities? I’ve found Sages have less abilities than a lot of other classes, which made setting up my bars from them much easier than with my Agent.

So, firstly, a survey:

Ability-wise:
Sage: 18
Consular: 23
General: 8
Legacy: 14 (All Social, All Valor, All Priority Transport Passes, Mail Droid, Repair Droid, Legacy Lightning Storm, Legacy Project)
Vehicles: 59
Pets: 40
Total: 162.

To compare on non-vanity abilities, my level 41 Operative:
Imperial Agent: 28
Operative: 20

As you can see, not only more in the original class–but the advancement as well.

Not to mention, if you have a Companion out, you also have a bonus 20 Abilities added on which would bring my Sage’s total to 182.

Regardless, I don’t see anything missing. So, if anyone feels like helping, please vote on the poll and leave a comment saying:
1. If this has happened to you before
2. How many abilities you have in each section.

Maybe we can at least figure something out 🙁 And hopefully it can be fixed soon!

Adventures in Customer Service :P

Nov19

So, after trying for 2 days, I finally got in touch with Customer Service today! Of course, they had to forward me to someone else and then I was on hold again for like an hour…but then another person helped me and just a few clicks and done! The cartel coins I was supposed to get this month for my subscription renewing were there :3 So I bought a Crime Lord box and a Black Market box (couldn’t afford any others) and got the following rare items:
1. Slate Mouse Horranth
2. Max-Tac Precision Rifle
3. Tythonian Force-Master’s Lightsaber – My boyfriend claimed this immediately. 😛

Of course, I ran into ANOTHER glitch upon logging in… my account was suddenly free to play 😐 Upon logging out and back in, my account was back to “normal”, but I had to re-slot everything :/ Also, all items that were given through mail were gone like my Taun Fawn and Minimech CE and Tauntaun Ram and PTS titles and etc. which was very odd considering you’re not supposed to lose anything when going Preferred or Free to Play. Thankfully, all of the things you would receive in mail were re-sent to me…which I then took everything out and re-did it, but very very odd. I sent a bug report so hopefully that gets fixed as I had a heart attack twice over it >_> I’m still worried I may be missing something :/

On the bright side, I did finally get my Heroes’ Banner because of this:



Translation: Galactic Hero

Also, Thank you Telanis for the statue T~T I sent your rifle! <3 (oh, and I made this suggestion thread…timing how long until someone tells me off for it :/ )

Edit: oh and I played with some of the voiced emotes. As a quick note, they apparently have a far range on where they can be heard (I accidentally annoyed the fleet T__T) and some obviously still need to be voiced (And thus, in whatever section(s) you have emotes to be listed, it’ll say [Wordless *EMOTE* – Actor to improvise])

Play time~

So yesterday and today, my boyfriend and I worked on our Agent and Bounty Hunter some more :3 We are slowly going through Taris. Chance is nice and not a butthead like the rest of that team full of jerks. Doctor Lokin also seems okay.

Kaliyo is super glitchy though so I’ve started to use Vector. She just…kept aggroing things. Like I’d stealth out and she’d ATTACK SOMETHING WHILE WE WERE IN STEALTH AND KILL IT. WHAT THE HECK, KALIYO? 😐

Besides that, we did Story Mode TfB on our mains today! They ended up needing a healer and one of the tanks was willing to go on his healer and let a DPS tank so both of us could go! 😀 I’ve wanted my boyfriend to be able to do more operations and he DOES need the black hole commendations as he still needs to fix his gear! Unfortunately, the tank-healer had some loading issues at the end so we couldn’t finish 🙁 But I had fun~

Also, by finishing the weekly, I was able to get the first of the implants! Yay!

It’s too bad 1.5 won’t be this week… I’m guessing next week maybe? Oh well, I have lots to do anyway! (now if I just didn’t suck at doing what I need to)

Oh! And yesterday, I helped someone hatch their Orobird egg! <3 I always love helping people hatch their eggs :3 and we spoke about stuff and I helped them with the sandcrawler datacron (and a Sith person who also missed the one you have to drop to! I let him jump to me :3). I love helping~

1.5 Data Dump – More pets may be coming? + Story Mode Ops

Oct12

Or being updated. A LOT of these match current pets so… of course, this could also mean new colors for some but… ANYWAY, quick list:

1. Acklay/Lylek x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
2. Battle Droid x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
3. Orobird x6 – 3 were added in 1.2, although, one is still missing.
4. Blurrg x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
5. Akk Dog x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and 3 released in 1.3
6. Horranth x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
7. Dragonbat x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
8. Flutterplume x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
9. Gizka x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
10. Gree Larva x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and the Deep Wriggler did come out at the least.
11. Manka Cat x14 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
12. Monkey Lizard x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and still one confirmed to be for the Cartel Shop.
13. Mouse Droid x2 – There is a chance this could refer to the TOR-CE from Beta or the normal Mouse Droid that has been available since live.
14. Mouse Droid/Minimech Collector’s Edition x2 – Could be the Minimech CE (since live) or TOR-CE from Beta (which was rumored to be the original CE pet)
15. “Karagga’s Mouse Droid” x2 – Most likely referring to the M0-GUL Thrall Droid which was added in 1.1. I really don’t think (and hope not) that there’d be another which makes me continue these are just updates to make them look better over new pets (or at least overall)
16. Mouse Droid/Sandcrawler x3 – Probably referring to either the Mouse Droid and/or Little Sandcrawler which have both been out since live.
17. Probes x12 – Most likely referring to the probes mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and the Interrogation Droid that has been out since live.
18. Rakghoul x6 – Added in 1.2. All 3 were released so this could possibly be more colors or, well, like I said…updated graphics.
19. Tauntaun x10 – Added in 1.2. All 5 were released–although, Smelly from Beta has technically not been (however, people say Tauntaun Ram is just Smelly renamed)
20. Vrblthr x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
21. Womprat x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
22. Wraid/Lobel x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4. Also Lobels were released in 1.3–2/3 have been able to be gotten with the Lobelode still not released yet.

As usual, I won’t really list anything until I see a more…understandable list on some of the databases, but as much as I love pets…that is a lot. Just…so much. And if the majority aren’t upcoming for the Cartel Shop… I’m not sure how they will be gotten. For reference, here is the 1.4 Data Dump. Due to the fact that there really isn’t anything new (of course, more colors are an option), I do feel this may just be a graphic update over brand new pets.

Going to the latter subject real quick, I was dragged into a random story mode operation for commendations…after dealing with lots of glitches, we managed to get KP. However, rather than Bonethrasher 1-shotting the Band, they came down and actually began to help us fight. It was kind of awesome. I made sure to heal them too (which was harder than it sounds when you’re the only healer to begin with). If only my screenshots worked 🙁

Also helping people with the +10 datacron now <3

If you’d like the specific data dump lines from this place, here are the pet ones: Continue reading →

Frustration :(

Oct3

So, today has been horrible. I’ve had the game crash several times due to issues with the Video Card…which had no issues until the patch so I do not know what the heck is going on, but it sucks.

Worst part is, if it doesn’t manage to repair (and sometimes even if it does, it then immediately crashed again), it actually sometimes forces me to restart my laptop as the game then just won’t close. It refuses no matter what I do.

*sighs*

Between the crashes and other things, today has been absolutely awful.

Server Firsts and 1.4

Sep26

So, if you haven’t noticed, 1.4 is up 😛 While they had one delay, it seemed this went well overall… well, besides the GTN being down and no ETA on when it will be back.

I already changed my offhand and got my new healing skill. Much excitement. Hoping Mr. Robot will have the 1.4 stuff up as I want to update so badly and figure out what I need to aim for 🙁

Unfortunately, the Hazmat Implants are still 350. So much for them being a mistake. That is ridiculous. Seriously. Especially with the changes to BH Commendations. :/ I need 2 of the Hazmat Force-Healer’s MK-4 system so if you are a Biochem and learn those and feel like helping me out, let me know? 😀 Since I don’t think I’ll have even 350–let alone 700 anytime soon.

Anyway, while I try to ignore my obvious frustration, I will probably need level 27 stuff (that is 63 right?) so I should try and figure that out. Not to mention due to the whole set bonus by armoring, I will need at least one Advanced Resolve Armoring 27 through the random Hazmat gear off the first boss in HM. That will probably be the main focus, although, getting any of the armorings would be helpful.

In the end, I would at least need 2 made–for my belt and bracers, so I need to hold out for that 🙁 Then worry about getting one for my Top and Hat and Offhand x__x

…OR NOT. THEY DID IT. THEY USED THE CORRECT ARMORINGS. OMG. EEEEEEEEEEEEE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!? NO MORE UGLY CLOTHES.

*INSERTNOMOREUGLYCLOTHESDANCEHEREWITHAPPROPRIATEGIFSPLEASEUSEYOURIMAGINATION*

Regardless, I won’t switch my hat until I do get it as people still keep making such a big deal over this 4-set piece bonus. Oh well, it’s not an issue now. No declines, so may as well just deal with it as with no worry, it’d be silly not to take the bonus (even if I know how to heal without it). While Mr. Robot hasn’t completed updated the Denova Gear (equal to the Dread Guard Gear stat-wise) to reflect the hat and boots armorings correctly, it still has 3/5 right so. And yes, I am using it even if they haven’t properly updated. This blog wouldn’t be around if it wasn’t for my OCPD 😛

Unfortunately, I don’t know how long I can just keep holding on to the Rakata Ear Piece. It’s getting behind and Crit + Alacrity isn’t popping up. What I may have to do is switch to a Hazmat Force-Healer’s MK-3 Relay (of course, I’ll need to find someone who can make it or get it as a random drop) and then switch out an Aptitude Mod for a Crit mod to get my Crit back. I will need another Augment Kit then, but at least I do have an extra Resolve Augment on me (Actually, I’ll need 3 Augment Kits since I’ll need 2 for the Implants as well…thank god I have enough actual augments) Will be playing around with my stats to see if that will work, anyway. A Mettle Mod 27 actually gives me back the exact crit lost for switching the ear-piece so definitely good. …I suppose maybe I should go and switch the mod already though then and just find a Black Hole Force-lord’s MK-2 Relay in the meantime. …Does anyone have a Black Hole Force-lord’s MK-2 Relay they may be selling or they could make?

So, in general, what I need:
–Advanced Resolve Armoring 27 x3 (Dread Gear Offhand actually has a 61 armoring) It seems to be roughly the same cost as a 26 armoring (of course, this could be wrong), but at the moment, that means I’ll need (for a total of 3): 30 Durasteel, 18 Mandalorian Iron, 12 Molecular Stabilizer, 6 Synthetic Energy Matrix, and 30 Zal Alloy. EDIT: May just need 1! (10, 6, 4, 2, and 10) Apparently Belt and Bracers can be modifiable.
———-And for my records, specific Advanced Resolve Armoring 27: Head, Chest, Gloves, Boots, Bottoms
–Advanced Mettle Mod 27 x5 x4 (-1 if either ear piece mentioned hasn’t been gotten yet)
–Advanced Aptitude Mod 27 x3 (+1 if either ear piece mentioned hasn’t been gotten yet)
–Advanced Adept Enhancement 27 x4
–Advanced Quick Savant Enhancement 27 x2
–Advanced Battle Enhancement 27 x1
–Advanced Resolve Hilt 27 x1
–Hazmat Force-Healer’s MK-3 Relay
–Hazmat Force-healer’s MK-4 System x2 (350 Black Hole Commendations each 🙁 )

What I can use ASAP:
Black Hole Force-lord’s MK-2 Relay
I already have a Advanced Mettle Mod 26 ready to go so.

…that will add another Augment Kit I need however 🙁 THANK YOU PRONGS FOR THE AUGMENT KITS. <3 DEPENDING ON HOW THE OFFHAND IS (As Mr. Robot doesn’t have that modified yet but you can see my new updated wishlist to get an idea!), may try switching 1 Advanced Adept Enhancement 27 to an Advanced Quick Savant Enhancement 27–if it’s still 75% surge, keep the switch…if it’s not, keep the slighter higher surge with the Adept)

moving on, I really wish I could HM TfB. I want that pet so badly. 🙁 But it most likely won’t happen as things never drop from me and when they do, the chance of me losing is pretty high. Only time I won on my first try was the M0-GUL Thrall Droid (and that took forever to drop…and I’ve seen it 3 times since now -_-). Also want to do 16-man HM so I can help with the caveness.

So, now to the first part of my subject: I’ve stressed myself out so much, this is going to be short and sweet: I think Server firsts are silly and people should just work together.

If I wanted a server first for ANYTHING, it’d probably be a certain pet…but it’s not a necessity…and I don’t think I’d care anyway (I’d be too happy just having the pet to care if I was first or not).

So…

Sep20

The Wonderous Egg Bug Report was officially sent to the Development team. I think this means it really was a bug, but I’m honestly not positive. Essentially told they can’t say and to just keep an eye on the patch notes…so for now, let’s just hope for a fix soon :/

In the meantime, I went and took a whole new set of pictures. The ship has awesome lighting. Seriously. I will be updating the check list and detailed guide tonight with the images 🙂 So just…keep an eye out I suppose :3

Edit: All up!

Test server + 1.4 Patch Notes are up!

Sep10

For the patch notes 🙂 Currently patching on my computer and downloading on my laptop as we speak. Only disappointment is it looks like no character transfers…which is really depressing T__T (Also, looks like no new pets officially mentioned…however, that doesn’t mean much. I kind of hope not though as we have enough mysteries on our hands with the Wonderous/Wondrous Egg/Orochick and who knows what with the Lobelode)

Regardless, some highlights and things I found interesting from the patch notes:
-Obviously Terror from Beyond is out. The new gear is “Dread Guard” (it sounds silly)

-The ground targeting reticule is no longer cleared when a channeled ability completes channeling. (Very nice. This was always a bit frustrating/confusing in PVP)

-Players no longer receive the error message “You cannot cast while moving” when moving, stopping, and then immediately using a ground-targeted ability. (Yay!)

The Day We Broke Novare Coast

Sep3

So, Kada had dragged me into PVPing with him and we did a few matches…however, we recently hit a Novare Coast which…well… first, it was going back and forth. We eventually won. Well, sort of.

Here’s where the problem came in. We made the other team hit 0%. The timer stayed at 1 second and it did not proceed to finish. Players died and then we became trapped in the spawn zone with no timer of being kicked out.

We could leave manually, but then we will lose commendations… It’s…very awkward, to say the least. We’re just kind of stuck. Not sure why. The Imperials left continued to re-get each but our score did not go down (as we already won). It’s just a…very odd predicament.

For now, I recorded videos of it to show it. It did eventually end and we got kicked, but sheesh o-o

I’m not sure what caused this…too bad we still didn’t get credit 🙁
