You get the Magenta Crystal (crafting material piece) by: 1.) Going to Tat and getting the Refreshed and Revitalized buff from a Moisture Vaporator, 2.) Go to Hoth (Imperial), Travel to Leth outpost.  Once there, head north and up the tall mountain.  When you get to the snow storm your buff turns into a Shockfrozen Glass of Ice in your inventory.  3.) Travel to Ilum and go to the Western Jedi Graveyard/Ruins (imperial).  On South side of it, is a White Crystal formation.  Click on that and the Ghost Champion (around 220k hit points and lvl 50) appears.  Beat him and you get a Magenta Crystal Crafting Material.  
Then you either 1.) Need a Schematic (kill specific world boss) or find someone that already has it.
I just saw a few people selling the Magenta Crystals on the trade network (for over 300k) and saw who crafted it.  I then shot the guy an email and had it done in about a day for about $100k.

Run Kaon Under Siege hard  mode, take the +41 Endurance crystal out of the light saber that drops and put it in whatever you want.

I've rolled a few characters on Lord Adraas (the "unofficial" "official" RP server).  Seems like a pretty nice server.



PvP is pretty good.  On Canderous Ordo it seemed like if you didn't have a bunch of 50s on your team you didn't expect to do well.  On Adraas, I have yet to have a level 50 on a team (I had a level 49 in a match today who was the highest I've seen).  It seems pretty evenly balanced as far as wins/losses.




If anyone's over there getting their RP on, look me up - Syara (Bounty Hunter), Kialla (Smuggler), Haldan (Trooper).

There is another one in which you can have more than 8 players in a warzone.  I saw it the other night in 2 matches that I happened to be the beneficiary of.  Basically we had 16 guys on our team and 8 on theirs.  Something do with grouping into a warzone, then a grouped player dropping and getting invited by those still in the match.

"Cows go 'moo', dogs go 'woof', MMO players go 'the PvP is unbalanced'."  

 



...and I have yet to see any hackers in the game.  I'm sure it happens, just as I'm sure that it is exceedingly rare and will eventually be stamped out by future patches (as will class balance).  I like it so far.

haha.  My biggest gripe so far from the Reb perspective.  The Galatic Trade Network is EMPTY.  Yes EMPTY.  I still had my pre-order crystal up till about lvl 23 at which point I had crafted enough to make a +6 end vs the +4 end from the preorder.  



Plus with no cross faction item/money transfer, it's going to be a slow slog.

yeah the imperial trade is always full. The dumb thing is it's called the "Galatic" Trade Network.  Not the Imperial/Republic Trade Network.   Someone suggested using the Hutta Trade Network to do the cross faction transfers.  I logged in early in the morning and put my items up for 10 creds each and bough them with my pub toon.  PITA but at least I now have somewhat respectable gear for my lvl.

I have enough characters to craft anything (under lvl 50) that I want, so I rarely look at the GTN for gear anymore.

I'm leveling a character right now with the skills, Archeology, Bioanalysis and Scavenging. The first few crafting skills should level pretty quick considering the quantity of materials he's accumulated so far.

My guild and I ran Eternity Vault on Tuesday night.   We made it to the last boss before everyone had to leave for the night.  The boss fight where everyone in the party has to pick a boss and solo it was glitched.   One person could never do any damage to their target, or they would get them low on health and then they could do no more damage.

It was fun and had pretty good drops.   The first boss took us about 6 tries to take down.  Pretty smooth after that.

Because of the bugged class quest on my Guardian, I re-rolled a Knight, but went Sentinel this time.  Going in the Watchman tree, and the damage is amazing and survivability is great (starting about level 20).  PvE is a breeze, and I can really put a hurt on someone in PvP.  Out of all the classes that I have tried...all of them now...this is my favorite.

ETA: I was partially inspired by this video, the commentary is hilarious:

95% of the factional imbalances (ability delay being the primary one) favor the Imps.

A majority of the devs prefer to play Imps.

Really?  How can Republic have it so much better?  

Generally shorter PvP queue time and less same faction Huttball, maybe...but that is countered by generally inferior PvPers...

ability delay, that was my #1 thing that pisses me off on this game.. And Pubs have it worse. not to mention my hobo bath robe I got form PvP. Im still WTFing over that..

Imps have better story, better fleet, better armor. It looks like the devs did Imp land first then did the pub area as an after thought.

Any way Im done with this game, canceled my sub yesterday. Ill play some TF2 and BF3 till GW2 is out.

Still have not beat EV.  The night before last patch we ran EV and made it to SOA in record time.   He glitched and we had to call it a night after glitching 3 times.

We got the +10 to all stats datacron on Fleet as a guild.  Was a pretty cool run.

I just dropped my account. Went on vacation for two weeks and just could not bring myself to go back any play. I wanted to like it, but it just feels like the entire game is on rails. I have to do all the same quests as everyone else and end up getting the same gear...bleh!



I know this is not SWG, and I did not really care all that much at first. But I really did enjoy picking my pistoleer and going to do whatever quest best suited me at the time, not because I had to or anything. I think this was the finall nail in the coffin for MMORPGs for me at least.

I'm having a blast still with way too many hours played.

My Republic scoundrel is 10/10 HM operations finally, full Rakata gear, on the lowest pop server of them all no less, it took a long time to get a raiding group worked up.

My Powertech is L43, and he'll be my Empire main.  BH is a lot of fun, tanking is really great in this game, I really liked the scoundrel trees too burst, DOTs, heals, it's a great class. I just love PVP as a Pwrtech though, and it's actually fun to tank with.

I have four crafting alts I lvled to 25ish, so I have all the crafting skills, haven't maxed out the force-user ones yet because frankly I hate the gameplay with those classes.

I was a bit worried at first but the last couple patches have really smoothed things out.

The solo EV fight probably isn't bugged, if you use anything that helps another player AT ALL other than the class self-buffs you fail, it's probably a sentinel/marauder with their party buff ability.
