Did 7.3 change something with the trees on Voss? I do know they ruined some shrubbery. The trees look super wobbly and ugly and I can't remember them being like that.

Couldn't find anything in the Known Bugs list though.

From the Jedi Temple codex entry:

The new design is intended to echo the style of Alderaan's famous castles and to evoke the Jedi virtues of humility, serenity and patience.

So did I miss something? A joke perhaps? Alderaan and humility? The racist snobs that have other sentients instead of droids mop their floors?

“The Gnarls” was nicknamed for the thick undergrowth that originally covered the region, which took several months to clear. The original explorers of Tython discovered and restored ruined stone paths and bridges leading through the Gnarls, suggesting these wilds were once used by the ancient Jedi.“

I was bored with levelling, and decided to translate every text in aurebesh I would run across on Dromund Kaas. This board was kinda interesting. 

It says: 

Map kiosk -public transit available only to citizens of the Sith Empire. -passes can be acquired through the ministry of travel located in hub 3. -all humans travelling with non-humans will need appropriate clearance.  You are under constant surveilance. Be on the lookout for suspicious behavior. The Empire is counting on you and you need the Empire. Avoid hubs that you are not needed in and have no direct business in. The Empire will remain strong as long as you stay vigilant.  Alert Forget the bylaws at your peril.   Map routes subject to change depending on availability of substation energy levels. ---

So humans need clearance to travel with aliens. Does my inquisitor have automatic clearance because she’s Sith? Did Mako need to get clearance for my nonhuman hunter? What do you need as an alien travelling alone? Never thought about this.  Really helps setting the tone for Dromund Kaas.

Anyway, thought it was neat that some of the aurebesh actually translates to real stuff. The gathering nodes say “viable sample” if you can harvest them. Some is gibberish, though :P

Gonna have a look at the posters next. Maybe someone else already translated some stuff?
