We're aware of the lack of turnover on the Shadowfire resources, and have investigated. It looks like it is the same problem as what happened with the other servers that had no resource turnover, and we'll fix it the same way. As I am at home right now, I am unsure whether this already happened or will be happening tomorrow. But I wanted to let you know that we are addressing the problem.

Does the availability of these new resources mean we're going to see an increase in the qualities of pre-existing weapon types? I mean, are the Scout Blasters and Curved Swords we all know an love, going to be able to be built even better than before?
All I ever read about in regards to this resource shift is the fact that Commando weapons and Composite Armor can be built. Will other things improve also?
Excuse my ignorance, but I never took much interest in the weapon/armor smithing skills ... the only grinding I am ever interested in doing is on the dance floor, or on my enemy's skull with the business-end of my Vibroblade
I come from Lowca where we had the same problem. After the first time the devs manually shifted the resources (it had been over a month since the game went live), a second shift happened about 18 hours later. From that point on, the resources were stuck until we finally got the devs' attention and they performed a 2nd manual shift. Guess what? Another shift happened about 18 hours after the 2nd manual shift. From that point on everything has been working as intended, but several required resources for upper-level weapons were missed in that first 18 hour shift and didn't reappear until almost a month later after we finally got the devs attention for the 2nd manual shift.
Be advised that this similar situation unfolded for Radiant as well (another server affected by this broken shifting process). Miners need to play it by ear as soon as the resources shift and not load up their harvesters with a ton of maintenance. Also, hoarde the resources like polonium iron until you can confirm that the resources aren't going to shift again within a 24 hour period.
Good luck, Shadowfire. Lowca knows all about what you guys are going through.
The qualities of the new resources will be random. The quality of the resources used to build a weapon determine the quality of the weapon.
Just wish I could say the same about Structures.
Jedi will be rare and difficult - No Increased Dev communication - No CU will balance combat - No Most of the bugs from launch fixed - No saintchuck will continue to pay - No
- I supported the CURB, the Devs and the attempt to make SWG a better game and have realized it didn't work so I'm quitting in less than 2 days and won't be tricked into coming back again. Trick me once, shame on you...
Jesus, more than a month to notice our little problem. I know public authorities that work faster than that. Is it such a huge effort to look after newly started servers the first couple of days ????
And the root of the problem isn't terminated, is it ? So there won't be a natural shifts in the future I assume. And if we are lucky, we get 1-2 shifts a day from now on. Wouldn't be the first time it happens....
as happy as i am that someone from the powers that be has posted and announced we are finally getting a shift, i am very apprehensive about it and i really really hope we dont end up having shifts every 2 days or so
good luck devs, and good luck to us all as well.
