Hi all! So I'm having a bit of a strange issue with the new penthouses. I know for a fact that I purchased the Vaiken Spacedock Stronghold vs the Carrick Station Stronghold, but for some reason I keep getting sent to the Carrick Station Stronghold. Here are my steps: I had purchased up to level 69 in the Galactic Seasons tab so I could get the eight tokens needed to purchased Viaken. I redeemed the stronghold and had added the "Imperial Sanctuary" title to it. I then teleported to the stronghold but for some reason it was the Carrick Station Stronghold, not Vaiken. I returned to fleet, checked the stronghold directory, and it still showed I had Vaiken. I teleported there again and it was still Carrick. When I returned to the fleet the second time it showed that I owned Carrick, not Vaiken. Additional details: This happened around 6PM CST. I'm on an NVIDIA RTX 2080ti. I was on my Sith Sorcerer as a healer. This bug has occurred every time I try to get to my Vaiken stronghold. I did purchase the full Galactic Seasons pass. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a huge deal because I'm a stronghold collector, but there are only enough tokens per season to get one of them at max and I've been really excited to get my hands on this one so I purchased the levels early. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Hi all! So I'm having a bit of a strange issue with the new penthouses. I know for a fact that I purchased the Vaiken Spacedock Stronghold vs the Carrick Station Stronghold, but for some reason I keep getting sent to the Carrick Station Stronghold. After my initial teleport there, it now says I own the Carrick Station Stronghold vs the Vaiken Spacedock Stronghold. Has anyone else had this issue too? I'm a Stronghold nut so it wouldn't be such a big deal ordinarily, but there are only enough tokens per season to get one of them at max. Any help/even knowing someone else has had this issue too would be hugely appreciated!

I couldn't agree more. It feels like we got a third of a stronghold instead of a full one. It is a lot of wasted potential.

Thanks for the feedback! I made the adjustments.

The Manaan Stronghold: Review Like many of you, I was beyond thrilled to hear that Manaan would be our next stronghold! The idea and possibilities for this underwater world are nearly endless! As per the usual on patch days, I wake up first thing in the morning when the patch is done, wait for the launcher to update, and enjoy the new update to give my friends and guild members my review. For the first time in a long time I felt in was absolutely necessary to post my review in the forums. My first impressions of the Manaan stronghold were that of shock and awe! The courtyard is absolutely stunning, the hallway to the elevator is unique and very true to the Manaan feel, the rooftop garden's grand hall and side garden are relatively spacious and enjoyable, and the underwater observatory is a little under used but lovely all the same. Now comes the real issue with this stronghold. Everything else. I have been a strong defender of SWTOR and all it's content over the last six or seven years, but this is something I can't defend. For one the hooks are worse than the massive Yavin stronghold's and they aren't even centered! The one starship hook on the entire stronghold is on the right hand roof and isn't accessible at all! (As in you can't walk to your expensive ship or what have you to interact with it. A huge flaw and puts a serious dent in any potential RP.) The courtyard, while pretty, is a failure in the way of hooks. The grand hall leading to the garden has a lack of large hooks and floor hooks, and the garden itself feels weird with the hook layout. In addition, there is an invisible wall behind the garden's grassy potted plot which the area behind there could have been utilized as a balcony or additional walking area that could have led to the starship hook. Now comes one of my greatest gripes about the stronghold. The underwater area. I am beyond disappointed with this area entirely. For one the concept of the underwater observatory is extremely under utilized. It is small and cramp where the possibility of it being the size of the surface stronghold, or larger, would have been infinitely better. Not to mention the rooms are oddly lit and there is no ceiling light hooks. Just one. Single. Strange. Out of place. Small hook. On the ceiling. In its stead. With all that aside, there is another HUGE flaw to this stronghold. Few decorations aside from the Manaan decorations actually work with this stronghold. In addition to all of that? The stronghold can only have 30 visitors at any one time when it is fully unlocked AND it has an excessive amount of hooks at 650 hooks when it is fully unlocked. (Where is the hook increase for the flagships BTW?) I am just beyond disappointed with the end result of this stronghold. Worse of all we had no way of knowing what it looked like before the purchase due to a lack of knowledge from the devs and a lack of a livestream before the patch. I am officially saying this now, as of patch 5.3's Manaan Stronghold, the devs have failed this community. With any luck they will own up to this horrible stronghold and potentially rework it or give some sort of amends. I still have faith in the devs and I hate to bash something my favorite game has created, but something needed to be said. The Manaan Stronghold Rating: 3/10

1. How many of you have a Sith Inquistor, Jedi Consular, Jedi Knight, or a Sith Warrior who have advanced to a seat on the Dark or Jed Council? How many of you become the Emperor's Wrath or a Jedi General? Don't you want to see how much farther they could go? The Wrath finally meeting the Emperor, Dark Council member wadeging war in secret trying to stir up the war efforts, Jedi Council member fighting along side the council or trying to end the war by going onto Empire controled worlds and trying to make a peace treaty (that fails), or even ACTUALLY letting the Jedi General lead troops into battle on neutral worlds! Why not continue where Bioware and Lucasarts left off? Expand the game a bit... story wise. 2. Species unlocks would be great! I know that Cathar is coming somewhere in a month or so... but why the heck pay a barrel load of credits to get the species? Why not give the unlocks to the fans as a gift? I love seeing Sith Jedi or Maraluka Sith but how many credits would one have to shell out to get it? Don't get me wrong the restictoins are just on some ends but Bioware has made some a BIT TOO STRICT. Let the fans vote on the next species unlock will be like what they did when they let us vote if we wanted Jedi Sage or Jedi Wizard back in 2010. Let them put out a few options and we pick one or two to be in the next update! Fans would LOVE IT! 3. Lightsabers are the iconic tools of the Jedi and Sith... but it is said that they crafted the sabers hand made. What if you wanted to buy and already made saber you could buy it or make a new one from scratch. Let me elaborate... say you want this emitter, this mid section, and this pommel and craft your OWN UNIQUE custom made saber using a forge- like device to make it and do the whole cynimatic thing of creating it that would get HUGE smiles from the fans! From one fan to the many others I would ask you to please repond and share your thoughts and Ideas to add on! -YarDellWilliam

1. Kel Dor 2. Nautulan 3. Rodian

Well I have to give Bioware and Lucasarts more credit with the Legacy System and such but what REALLY gets me going is hearing about new species. I hope to see a few such as Kel Dor, Nautulan, ex. What I really hope they will add onto the family tree like say if your mother was a Sith Warrior, your father was a Bounty Hunter, and you were a Sith Inquisitor to have your parents' force choke and flamethrower acessable whenever. I mean making those moves only useable ONLY durring your Heroic Moments is terrible! They are JUST two moves! Just have their REGUAL COOLDOWNS ON THE LEGACY MOVES! Why put such timely restrictions on them!?! Not like they are going to become cheats or hacks! But all and all I am trully happy to see the game expanding and I egardly await more updates!
