For Empire he's on the Fleet by the hangers or on Dromand Kaas at the entrance to Kaas City. Don't play Republic so not sure about where he is for them.

which is why its scary they are pushing these fixes out within a 24 hour period, because like you said its very hard to QA
well it seems this commendation issue has only popped up since last night? or did someone ONLY just find it?
so ergo, last nights patch caused this.

No one knows if the mini patch yesterday caused the mail exploit. Lot of these things are in the game for a long time till it becomes public knowledge. The illum exploit took some time to find and got through testing.

It became public knowledge recently. That is not indicative of how long its been around.
It isn't that scary if you are prepared to engage in developing an MMO to begin with.
This bug was caused by patch 1.02. That does not mean a hotfix to correct it will cause more issues, because they were patches that had different scopes that would have to be tested differently.
What would be scary is if they didn't hotfix stuff like this immediately. You ever come across an MMO developer that isn't prepared to do so, take my advice and find a different game.
Well, what's the point of putting on the test server?

Yep. You've gotta attach it to your account the same way.
What is the level range of Nar Shaddaa? Forgot to read that one when i landed on it. And where does Sith Warrior's Master send me after Nar Shaddaa? Alderaan? Just name the planet, please.
Balmorra was both fun and annoying. "Ah, i'm finally done... MORE QUESTS???" I did only some half of the quests there.
Immortal Sith Juggernaut feels really good but somehow underpowered. Vette draws aggro very easily even with Guard on her and her Sniper Stance toggled. I died while doing a class quests of my own level because i got into a fight (with full health, medkit and buffs) with two strong mobs. Not elites, merely strongs.

Don't remember the level range, but note that the bonus series for Nar Shaddaa will likely be a lot higher than where you end up after finishing the class missions there - I ended up going back in the middle of Tatooine since I was around the proper level for it by then.
It should go Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine, Alderaan, Taris, Quesh, Hoth.
In general, you'll likely be fine just doing the class quests, the mainline world quest series, and the bonus series for each planet. You don't miss too much from skipping the other side stuff. Heroics, as always, depend on whether you can get a group together or not.

Is this showing up on the app itself or on the webpage to apply it to your account?

I wish there was a group finder for Heroics. One of my only gripes.

Its asking for the key's serial number. If you got the app it's under "Information" and then "Security Key Information".
I've never seen anything over 460k except for a screenshot on TOR forums of a Bounty Hunter doing 650k. 700k and up seems a little steep, especially since the expertise gear caps at 10% so it's not THAT big of a bonus
Look what I found wandering around Ilum.
Nice, I remember seeing you. I died to rez back at the base because my quick travel was still on cool down. I didn't notice you until I was already dead, or I would have flagged for pvp.

Oh you went to the app first. Go here: http://www.swtor.com/securitykeysetup and follow the steps. You'll get a code to put into the key and link it to your account.
I don't recommend the android app at all. If you install another rom you'll have problems even using titanium backup to restore the app on the new rom. I installed an ice cream sandwich rom on my galaxyII, restored the app and couldn't use it because it fc, fortunately I had a nandroid backup of the other rom.
By the looks of it you'll have to call, theres someone on neogaf that had that problem if I recall correctly and there are various topics on the swtor forums about this and the android app.

Most likely you'll have to contact customer support to get it removed before transferring to another key if you dont have the original, that's usually the way these keys work.
BIOWARE says NO to official server forums

It's the WoW forumers combined with the Bioware forumers. A truly putrid idea.
Expertise caps at 20%, not 10%.
It is a steep number; when you're talking numbers like 450k+ to begin with you're already talking about bored PvPers that have been farming expertise gear pretty hard that are beating on lowbies with zero expertise. That is, they're basically bored and trying to run the numbers up sometimes more than they are trying to win a game.

are the servers down right now?
edit: Nevermind
edit: Nevermind
Mine's been stuck at 10.01% for a while. The thing in the PVP tab on the character sheet right?
20% is a hard cap; Expertise is a stat on a diminishing return curve. I don't think it should be stuck at that particular value, though. I'll look into it.
AND the Star Wars fanatics.
You can get them to take off the security key, but there is currently no way to activate another phone after that.
Your memory is extremely wrong.
WoW also has hotfixes, these would in all likelihood have been hotfixes in it, which don't even require you to restart your client or disconnect.
What are fleet passes?
just takes you to the fleet no matter where you are.. you have an ability with a 16hr CD that does the same thing
Teleport you immediately to the main imperial or republic station that has all the trainers, gtn, flash points etc. it's a big time saver. You also get a skill of the same type that not many people know about. Look under abilities probably after you get your ship or leave the starter planet. Only problem with it is that it's got an 18 hour cool down so you can only use it once a day.
The fleet passes you buy from the VIP vendor have no cool down and you can use them as often as you want.

WoW had a lot of smaller patches early on, I remember them being fairly frequent. There's a lot to fix and you'll get the honey moon additions like dungeons that were already half done, etc.
As they expanded they became a lot more ridiculous with their infrastructure. Leading to their gigantic x.1, x.2, x.3 patches where they throw everything in the world in them and you wind up waiting 3-4+ months for simple tweaks and bug fixes.
They do hotfixes a lot, though, you can only do so much in hotfixes, however. Usually boss balance fixes or baby class tweaks, Blizzard loves to make ~1% DPS adjustments often. Was very fun in early Cata (which was basically a live beta) when their micro adjustments invalidated my gear choices twice within two weeks.

pretty sure they didn't hotfix cascading instances early vanilla.
If you remember that much.
I'm fairly certain TOR can do hotfixes as well.
That said, you are technically right, WoW had 22 patches the first year and TOR is at patch 11. It's hard to compare the breadth of the two, but even WoW's smallest are as unimportant if not less so that the stuff Bioware has been patching (like 1.1.2, where realms no longer displayed time zone!).
I remember cascading instances didn't let you do something more than twice a week, and it did get fixed ;p This was something that didn't even rear its head until late into MC, so like 6+ months after wow's launch.
My point never had anything to do with wow, it was more a snide way of pointing out how stupid it is to try and use the swtor thread to trash talk wow. What is there to say about the patching? These are serious exploits, they need to be fixed. I'd prefer they fix them asap, and so would they. Downtime sucks but it has to happen, WoW and its bugs have nothing to do with it so stop trying to say "lOL WOW WOULDNT HAVE PATCHED IT STOP COMPLAINING" since that's not only idiotic and has no place here, but is blatantly wrong.
EDIT:
Ok I misremembered Cascading, it was only commonly used for two clears a week, but you could potentially do 6. Now I remember.
Perhaps I am not being really clear about my intentions (my fault).
I don't mean to besmirch WoW, but given the patch schedules of other major MMO, I can't help but feel that 1) Bioware is really on the ball wrt fixing bugs and 2) the complaints about how long it takes Bioware to patch something are, at the moment, really overstated.
If 6 months down the line it turns out that they're awful at this, sure, but I can't help but feel that a bug fix patch every 2 days (on average) isn't fucking up.

Correct
As for the swtor vs wow debate... that shit is never going to end. You're only going to provoke more people with your avatar though... hehe.
I COMPLETELY agree with this sentiment. Nobody should complain about quick patches for major issues. It's not like they're taking the server down for some kind of social bug, the /getdown bug and the commendation exploit are BIG deals in MMO terms.
Shrug, haters gonna hate? I still love and play both games. I could fit both characters in I guess but it might not look pretty at the avatar size ;p
