I'd also like to know if this has been fixed yet. 5.7a and 5.7b, which are completely lackluster in anything even worth downloading, have no mentions. You'd think a quest line bugged that prevents you from completing it would be fairly high priority.

*WARNING SPOILERS CONTAINED IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED ALL CHAPTERS LEADING UP TO IOKATH* So my Jedi Knight. I WANT to side with the Republic. I do. I just completed Eternal Throne and getting ready to go into Iokath story where I know I'll lead up to choose a side to fight for. Granted, I don't know the full ramifications of choosing a side here on Iokath, but I'm just having a hard time with the decision. When I did it on Empire, it was Empire all the way. Wasn't even a question. But as a Republic character, I WANT to side with the Republic here. My problem is: The Empire came to help me during a previous chapter. The Empress was convincing enough for me to form an alliance with her. This was furthered when they DIDNT try to retake the throne while I was stuck on Iokath. As opposed to the Republic who tried to have me assassinated. Then this is furthered through the mail / reports that the Republic felt it was best to wait for Zakuul to wipe me and the Empire out because its better for them in the long run, and that they need to "distance" themselves "from these events", meaning they just gonna cower and hide while the Empire and my forces do all the heavy lifting. Is there another side I'm missing? Like I said, I WANT to side with the Republic, I'm a Jedi Knight! (My Dark III alignment aside). I just haven't seen anything from the Republic to warrant such blind loyalty. Wondering what others thoughts are.

I haven't read EVERY reply, but I haven't seen hardly if any shots for Warrior > Jaesa romances. I'm flabberghasted! Empire: Jaesa (Warrior) Republic: I have no idea, my smuggler slept with everything he could. Vette is also one of my favorites. Also Warrior.

OK thanks for the info, not gonna bother finishing this then.

The description I read though now I can't find it, says its for GROUPS of well geared players. Wife and I are not well geared but we are grouped and I don't know how this is supposed to work? I don't have any progress quest so I don't know how I'm supposed to get rewarded / credit for completing a master mode chapter? Or do I just have this all wrong? Can someone please briefly explain to me how this is supposed to work? Thanks! <3

So I've opened up Iokath dailies, done them a couple days, and while I find it ridiculous that to even do some of these dailies I have to have anywhere from 75 to 600 of these never dropping shard currencies. Having a currency requirement for a daily seems absolutely absurd to me, but that's a whole other rant. Anyways I'm curious as to what now? If I don't particularly care about any of the reputation rewards, what do I do? Besides finding a group for the 1 operation boss that's out, is there a real benefit to chain running flashpoints? Is there going to be more story unlocking in coming week(s)? I just can't seem to find a whole lot of information. So I hit 70, finished opening Iokath. Now what and what power gains or story unlocks does it net me? Or is the story merely unlocked gradually.

If anyone still reads these forums, I take it there's still no fix or workaround?

Ran into this today as well. Anyone know of a solution?

I dunno when my wife and I play, our team usually wins. More often on Republic than on Empire but we generally win more than we lose regardless of which side we're on. For you trolls; No this isn't me bragging that my wife and I dominate games but usually one of us is a healer and other dps. The games we tend to lose more often than we win are when neither of us are healing because then we get no healers. This is referring to 10-29 and 30-54 PVP. We do not pvp at 55.

Hi there, Just curious about a couple of reps that I believe were from older cartel packs but how do you get rep now with Bounty Supply Company or The Contraband Resale Corporation. I thought those reps you got out of the older cartel packs but can you even buy those anymore? Thanks.

Thanks for the input and link, I'm reading up on it now.

So my Guardian is level 53 now. I unequipped Hazmat Pummeler's MK-3 Headgear which have the following stats: 104 STR 168 END 60 Acc 58 Crit My hit points in the game went down when I took the head piece off, but my primary weapon damage went up. ????

I understand the basic concepts of Bolster, no expertise gear because you'll get about 2K expertise essentially naked. My question is on how it bolsters based on the gear you have. Here's my scenario: Guardian, Level 48 had about 29K hp and did good damage, her mods were Level 43 (44) in gear Fastforward Level 50, bought all the Makeb vendor level 50 mods (58) in gear, so basically the Rakata level mods. Suddenly her HP drops to about 25K and her damage is visibly lower. So essentially this tells me, that I would be better off in level 49 (50) in gear blue mods, than in level 50 (58) in gear purple mods or the black hole level 50 (61) in gear mods. So my question is, is this assumption accurate and would anyone be able to tell me how exactly that works? edit: This is just how it pertains to PRE 55, I've read a lot of stuff about Bolster but people keep bringing in Conqueror's gear and stuff into the mix, I'm just referring to how different levels of PvE gear affect bolster while leveling up.

I have a weird issue. On all of my characters that I know of I can get a PVP weekly quest to win 3 matches. I have 1 level 55 and about ten 50's all of which I'm leveling via PVP. All of them that I can think of can get the PVP weekly to win 3 matches. I have one level 50 Sith Assassin however that seems unable to get the PVP weekly. I have no idea why. He doesn't have the old level 50 weekly to win 9 matches, I'm not sure what the deal is. Any ideas?

And with that update I'm off to bed. Night guys!

I charge you with Force Charge and cast Smash, I rolled a 20! Critical hit!

It appears something is resetting the cooldown of Blaster Whip. I can't seem to find what it is. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Scoundrel, Scrapper spec

That wouldn't surprise me.

Have they introduced a better way to see when this procs? I'm sure most know what I'm talking about but I'm referring to the Find Weakness Proc from Infiltration Tactics talen in the Infiltration Tree. Having to keep looking over at my status window to see my buff bar to see if its up or not really puts me at a disadvantage versus similarly spec'd Assassin's in pvp, you know, since they get a HUGE PURPLEISH BLACK AURA THAT SURROUNDS THEM WHEN THEY GET IT... uhm... so anyways, have they added a visual or audio queue for Shadows that I'm missing? Thanks!

Hehe you guys kill me. Perhaps you didn't play WoW, but 99% of the time I wouldn't even try and play on a patch day like they had on this one. WoW's post-patch server performance and issues were epic. I'm really pissed off because I went to bed early and now I'm awake and wanting to play, OH WAIT, I can't, gawd da****! So yeah, I'm really ticked off right now, but those of you saying why can't BW do anything right, why can't I play when I want wha wha... Quit crying, its still better than Blizz's post major content patch deployment.

I don't disagree with you, I was mostly directing that to the ones crying end of the world. It is unfair, I really wanted to have more people to play with by this weekend too and now I'm not going to. It's just frustrating to see so many people think the world is ending because they want to see how the weekend unfolds. I have the same opinion when I bought Diablo 3 and then found out its REQUIRED online, can't even play my single player game with multi player options during their maintenance period, I find it rediculous and I'm not even paying a monthly fee. I had a point when I started this, but I don't remember what it is, so I'll just say that yeah I do agree with you, its unfair, but is not the end of the world to wait a few extra days so they get our destination server right.

So much QQ I'm not even sure where to begin. Obviously most of you have not been involved in any kind of development cycle. Basically what your saying is, because of things outside of BioWares control, the remaining servers they haven't done still have low pop. It's not like BioWare had control over what servers people chose to play on. If anything because of the initial size of the launch, they gave us TOO MANY options, so when people took their week long vacations to play Star Wars or whatever, eventually there was the drop off of every day players. Then there were the players that went back to WoW and others who dont understand how game launches work and because all the bugs weren't fixed in 5 minutes quit. This left us in the situation we're in now. Why should BioWare employees have to work weekends for this. Are they not allowed a weekend? The people mostly responsible for the decision making in this process don't want to start a new round of stuff when they aren't going to be around if something happens. Oh noes, they want to take a couple of days to monitor and gather statistics. Oh NOES! This is likely due to the fact that after the server transfers, the destination servers will have an even higher daily population count because of players all jumping on to their new server that actually have people. Someone mentioned that they think the only remaining servers are the ones with the highest population. They've done a ton of servers and now they need to take a moment to step back and see how things plateu out on all the servers they have done, before they jump to the bigger ones. I don't see the problem with this. For all we know, after the weekend when populations are at its highest, something could explode, and then you'd be ************ because they rushed so many servers they didn't have time to work anything out or evaluate what they were doing. This morning we had about 7 on the Imperial Fleet and I think 3 on the Republic. I want more people so bad because I can't get a thing done during my morning play time except dailies... YAWN. But I would rather they take their time with things. Yes, we all know it sucks when your last, but as someone already pointed out, someone is ALWAYS last. I'd rather be last and they pick the right origin/destination for my server once they've had time to take a look at everything in the big picture, than them pick a server and something worse happens. Take a chill pill, I know we've been waiting several months for them to fix population issues. I'm just happy to know they're working on it and will have it done soon as opposed ot having no clue.

That is not really an excuse. Someone else mentioned that it would be trivially easy to fix and they just haven't committed the resources. I disgaree there too. It's likely possible that they have no idea what's causing it, and they haven't figured out the source, so they can't fix it until they do. The problem with realistically any scenario that could be the cause of them not fixing it yet, is it's completely lazy. It's bad programming and it's bad managment. If you can't figure out the solution, then a work around needs to be done. Directive 7 basically becomes an avoid at all costs flashpoint if you have an Agent/Smuggler or Trooper/Bounty Hunter. So if they can't fix it for whatever reason, they need to provide the ability to easily skip him until they do, or remove the boss from the flashpoint completely. It's completely rediculous that BW is letting a bug like this continue to be around. Stuff like this makes me scowl at BW completely when I used to hold them in such high regard. While I won't quit because of this one thing, I shouldn't feel like I have to avoid doing a FP because of how buggy it is. For those that are going to say don't group with an Agent/BH, my wife plays a BH Healer, so she'll always be in my groups.
