But it did mean that you could be an Operative in cover, shooting from range (not particularly effectively).

All the FPs that lack a solo mode can be soloed without much trouble on Veteran these days.

You have to finish your United Efforts calendar first, all 28 days, before you can get another and have a chance at the Ancient Armaments calendar.

That codex entry is obtained from an Republic-only Heroic mission. There's a couple of these for each side that you just cannot unlock on the other faction. This is working as designed, so it's not a bug, and at this point, it's unlikely to ever change.

Is it a cannon, by any chance? Jorgan used to use those but they changed him to wield sniper rifles instead to reflect his background. A lot of companion gear from the bonus series and some other missions haven't been updated to reflect changes. If it is actually a sniper rifle, then it's a bug.

I just want to have the in-story option to bombard Zakuul until there's nothing left living on the surface.

Yeah, it's that old overlapping stronghold instances bug, but somehow worse. I even saw another player running around in my Copero stronghold for about 10 seconds, but then it all stabilized and it and the varous companions went away.

Yes, the deco menu says Achievements. But I've killed the boss several times, and seen the deco in the loot list. Some of the decos are labeled incorrectly. It being a dropped item is why it can be traded, like you've seen it can be. It's not some grand conspiracy of long-deleted items that they refuse to grant to you.

It's a drop from the boss, not a reward from the achievement. It was still available around a year ago from my personal experience (was in a group, it dropped for someone else), and should still be.

I think that's a result of the anti-farming protection. Kill the same enemy enough times (the assistant) and you stop getting loot, but it aslo affects Martinique. I've been there myself, and support was no help (gave me some nonsense about the mount not being available any more, second ticket got me a different and contradictory response from the same person). You might get a less useless person if you try filing a ticket though. There is a workaround, though not the most practical one. You're pretty much guaranteed a spawn of Martinique if you kill the assistant right after a server comes up again following downtime, without the loot block. But you'd have to wait for the next downtime for that.

It's not difficult to solo on Vet.

Yes, you've got BH on the right next to the smugger, second from the bottom.

Aurra Sing is not and was never a Rattataki, not even in Disney "canon." Assajj Ventress was only portrayed with hair after she was retconned into not being a Rattataki. Rattataki do not grow hair.

To do that, they'd have to re-record every class-specific voiceline for every possible voice. That's much more effort, and money, than they will put into something like that at this point.

From Sand to Steel is the first quest for the (Imperial) Tatooine bonus series. They've been repeatable for a while, on a weekly timer I believe.

You have to select the Kessan's Landing area before you can land. It defaults to the main Ord Mantell area, just like every other world that has multiple landing sites (like Belsavis or Voss), but that's not available on Imp side because it's a Pub starter area.

I got one from a Mon Cal in the town area just west of the world boss, not sure that's on that list there, though I did all the others that are. For the tenth, I think the Daily Patrol mission (do 7 dailies) also counts for the weekly, or perhaps it was a heroic (the H2s are easily soloable). At any rate, turning in the last daily also completed the weekly for me.

You can complete the weekly in one go, one day, one character. There's a couple of dailies scattered around the area too, not just the ones on the mission board. I know this from experience, I did it earlier today (yesterday, technically).

From https://forums.swtor.com/topic/931765-gearing-feedback-pts-thread/: It was also mentioned in the 7.4 livestream a month or so ago.

I assume it's a bug. I've retoggled exploration missions (got turned off by this patch too*), but that did nothing. Only things it could be is a bug, or it requires doing or starting the new story, but that'd be entirely inconsistent with every previous H&Z mission. *this exploration mission nonsense should never have been a thing. People who can't handle side quests should not be pandered to.

Big issue: I can't seem to get the Hyde and Zeek quests for 340 gear components, just the conversation where they tell me to wait for them to have new stuff. I have completed all previous quests on all my level 80 characters. Others in the game have mentioned the same issue, no H&Z missions on characters that have completed all previous ones.

Patching is just client-side. Server downtime is its own beast. But it is up now, a little ahead of time.

No operation is soloable, they are large-group content (raids, in typical MMO terminology). They require you to be in an Operations group to even enter. Many can be done by a smaller group (~4 people) on Story mode, if people have some idea of what they're doing, but it's still group content. Group Finder's operation selection is limited and on a weekly rotation, but not many use it in the first place. The easiest way to do them would be to find a group on fleet, story mode ops are run quite frequently, especially the Oricon ones (DF and DP).

They renamed the section a little while ago (patch 7.2?), to Retired Achievements. The section is otherwise the same.
