They would allow vehicle usage on Coruscant after I leveled out of it

Lol, yea... I thought the same thing.

I also giggled at the fact that apparently Soa's Lightening Balls, Mind Traps, and Orbs were giving Social Points. I did notice last night that apparently dueling gives you social points now as well (not sure if you only get them for winning though). That makes some sense because dueling is a social thing, I mean you can't duel yourself

[Forsedar]

So I wonder if I can now farm social points through dueling...

[Arlee]

It was only about 8 social points per fight... so depending how long of fights you have I suppose it could be viable to farm them that way. I would imagine just doing flashpoints would be faster. Also since we get social points for killing things in ops I would think the amount you get for that would also be faster as well.

[Forsedar]

Well imagine a guildee... who just sits there naked... while I beat him in duels repeatedly.

[Arlee]

Guildie abuse!!!

Hmm... I wonder if there is a limit to the number of duels you can do in a certain time period... that would be really weird and random, but doing something like that you'd probably be able to 1 shot the other person so the duels would go really quickly...

[Forsedar]

I'll get back to ya on that. I'll try it later on right before we raid!

hope they fixed the bug that when you're dueling party members can see u when stealthed

Yeah, Soa social runs weren't uncommon on my server, we were getting [4 social points] x [__# group members] per Mind Trap (so a full 8 man group was yielding 32 social points per Mind Trap, with 7, we were getting 28 pts). Add in the fact that P2 is loleasy and Soa doesn't enrage prior to P3, and it was by far the easiest and fastest way to farm social levels. Too bad I didn't get up to Social X :[

[Ap0calypse]

Wondered how I went from Social 3/4 to like level 8 since 1.3 came out. Now I know. I hit Social X tonight, just not while doing Soa. Probably would have if they hadnt fixed this bug though lol

I believe it is like that in a lot of MMOs, especially WoW. It has been like that since launch so it is intended.

[Byrogan]

Cannot express how happy I am about the Coruscant fix, sucks that my republic toon just left there :\
