I just finished the expansion and am I correctly understanding that they're bringing Valkorion back in a different capacity?

Which became irrelevant when the writers decided to include the Eternal Empire.

While I'm glad the developers went back to the traditional jedi vs. sith storyline, I am completely unimpressed with 5.10. Furthermore, I think it's too little too late. The developers put themselves in the corner by introducing a 3rd empire so in my opinion its pretty meaningless to eventually go back to the original storyline. Just my two cents. Thoughts?

To everyone who knows this fight (I think it's chapter 6), there seems to be a bug. I can't solo this one or get even close but everytime I invite guild members, they come dressed as zakuul knights and have no weapons or abilities. No matter how many times they die or who I invite, they all have this issue. Do I need to submit an in game ticket?

But the Outlander wasn't a powerhouse without Valkorion's boost. He would be no match for Vaylin/Arcann/Senya without it. The problem with Bioware is that they put themselves in a corner with an immortal character. They can only go downhill from there.

If there's someone more powerful out there than Vitiate/Valkorion, I'd love to know about him/her.

There seems to be a finality to this game. The entire MMO was made to stop Vitiate/Valkorion and now that he's been stopped, what can they possibly do next? They can't make an even more powerful villain at this point. I was shocked at the ending because I didn't feel that kind of ending gave them any wiggle room for the future.

That's the thing. SWTOR has been about putting an end to Vitiate/Valkorion. He was apparently the most powerful force user in the mythos and now that he's been laid to rest, where can they possibly go from here? Back to the Sith vs. Jedi conflict? They put an end to that with the creation of a 3rd empire. I just don't see where they can go from here.

So the many of us who played this early access saw a finality to the entire swtor game. Where does bioware go from here? Is this indeed the final expansion?

I just logged in after the servers came online and it says "Your game version does not match the server's". What the heck is going on? It instantly kicks me out when I click ok, and it's the same error everytime I reload.

Anyone having trouble with this? I have tried this 5 times in the past hour since I just hit level 21, and I never receive an email. When I try to do this through the website I get this: An error has occurred. An error has occured while processing your account validation request. I can't even play anymore until this is resolved.
