Aww. They made it so you can't buy Priority Transport: The Black Hole as a low level character anymore. Doing that at level 1 and running around Corellia was my favorite stupid way of leveling an alt to 10.

Gambling trip report:

I went in with 1.1 million credits and one goal: The black vectron mount.

Within literally my first five rolls I managed to break a machine. You'd think that would be an auspicious start, but 1.1 million credits later, no vectron mount :(.

Ah well, it's only fake money. I'll cope.

So, tonight 8:00 Central, let's get together and scour Alderaan for datacrons and raid Castle Organa. Afterwards, we'll do Corellia datacrons and kill Lucky.

Think I took a wrong turn...
Did some dailies as a space poor, spent 140k on chips and went to town. Remember to shift click to buy multiples of the smuggler chips.

The event gets pretty annoying on a dry spell (ie when you're not getting many kingpin chips) since you're just hammering on the slot machine. Had maybe 30-50 clicks on the kingpin machine before I basically ran out of smuggler's chips.

Lucked out on getting a Vectron Magnus towards the end (around 10-20% chance of getting something with 30-50 clicks) so pretty sweet.

You are really just going to gamble on a alt, aren't you? I feel sorry for you, and hope you get that rancor :(

Anyone pubbed some ops? How is the bolster? Enough to counter baddies? I am especially interested in tank bolster, do you get optimized stats, or just better of what you have on your current gear? Can you queue a full group and still get bonus like with flashpoints?

The GF ops stuff is currently broken as all hell. It hasn't awarded the ultimate comms since the patch that 'fixed' it to be only 8 man. I don't know if it was actually working long enough for people to get a good gauge of how the bolster system worked.

I ran 4 of the 16m bolstered ops and stuff definitely was dying very fast. I didn't notice the lower hp people gaining much in that department when it applied bolster. So it may just have even related to a bunch of overgeared people plowing through the content and had nothing to do with the few people who were carried by the group.

I enjoyed the 66 comms per run. I was able to find 3 different df gf runs in the same night. That's never happened before.

The bolster must work pretty well as even when my GF group was loving fights up horrendously we still only wiped once or twice in a whole run through of DF. The DPS was insane but the group was dumb as poo poo so I'm guessing there was a lot of bolster helping out there.

Ok so being a newbie lvl 55 and completing all the Oricon quests/dailies, i now get the Operation quest with the speeder at the base. How do i go about doing this?

It's called either Dread Palace or Dread Fortress, i forget which and i'm not home at the moment to check. Whichever one it is, GF only shows the other one available?

I'm sure i'm missing something but all this storymode/hard mode stuff is confusing. I've only run a few of the lvl 50 flashpoints since hitting 55, mostly doing dailies or leveling up my sniper.

Is this a simple case of getting onto the GF and waiting? Plus now i have to worry about gear ratings oh god.

We do guild runs of both Dread Fortress and Dread Palace every so often, so just wait for one of those. Don't punish yourself and run it with a GF pug.

GF is currently going to be cycling through ops on a regular basis so you won't be able to play specific ops from it at any given time. Your best bet is to join a guild or ask in General on Fleet/Oricon if you want a PUG group. Group Finder is dead anyway, moreso now that the bonuses are broken.

Ok, so after the discussion the other week about additional character slots (beyond the normal 12) I purchased a token during the sale event and applied it. Bingo! 13 slots.

So I submitted a ticket to BioWare about my problem (purchased an additional character slot token last year, used it, no extra slot was applied, etc). The CSR (Stephen) who got my ticket looked into it and sent me a new token, which I used, and ta-da - new character slot totalling 14. Woo-hoo!

Or so I thought.....


The next day I logged on, and I was back to only 13 slots again.. the new slot had disappeared!

So I sent a new ticket, referenceing the old one. Again, the CSR (Eugene) looked into it, agreed that something had gone wrong, and refunded the token.

So I just used that new token, got the little animation thingy which seemingly indicates it worked correctly. However, not trusting the system, I logged out and logged straight back in - still only 13 slots.


So,

Bug report time, or does this game just really, really hate me??

How can you possibly need more than 13 characters? Are you just parking names? I'm guessing it's an edge-case, which probably makes it more prone to bugginess.
