No, not a fix. The servers are not showing so changing the date does nothing but modify SWTOR update files to wrong date for next patch. Have fun patching the patch files next patch. If you just let the experts fix the problem instead of reverting to untested tactics we might all be better off.

Can't get in.......................

What they should have done is made it retro-active and given veterans "other things" we had to do to earn some of the rewards. I essentially think we all earned everything they put in for reaching legendary for all 8 classes, for playing for the past 4 years and still here. Sure some newb and or lazy person who is behind might be buthurt over freebies to vetted players, but so what. Is it really better to hurt and disappoint the vets or on the fence newbs and undedicated?

Thanks Bioware for making everything I worked hard for from 4 years ago a complete waste. I did not grind titles, HK, Treek, Legacy, Perks, 8 characters, achievements, Operations, Flashpoints to be slapped with this bulldonkie carrot on a stick crap. This is the worst design, implementation and event in SWTOR history.' SO....... THEY WORKED ON THIS FOR EITHER MONTHS (OR MORE) BUT COULD HAVE MADE NEW WAR ZONES, A NEW OPERATION AND A COUPLE OF FLASHPOINTS!!!!

I agree with everything OP stated. Was going to post a rant on my distaste and first and only huge disappointment with this game. I can over look the lack of OPS and MMO content lately, but as a veteran, and having 8-65's and 25+ lower level toons that are banks, (I do not want to delete cause I am a whale) this has me really flustered. Sure I can use a few more Character slots, but WHY WOULD I WANT TO WASTE MY TIME LEVELING ANOTHER 2 TO 8 CHARACTERS for rewards that are cosmetic at best and 1 more of my 35+ companions that are all the same. If this included a new Operation or even a Flashpoint I might be a bit more excited. So I guess I ranted..........

I am an avid Hypercrate buyer and opener. I have opened Hypercrates since from day one of their release. I normally open anywhere from 8 to 12 Hypercrates per release. So I get a very good range of ratios and drop rates from these packs. I was willing to look the other way (mostly with reluctance and skepticism) with the introduction of the "Chance Cubes" in the latest packs. The Plunderer, Visionary, Disavowed and Anarchist were not too bad given that 30% of the time I got chance cubes. I also got a good amount of regular bronze armors, silver and gold’s. I did find a nitch where I could sell them, unopened, and make a small fortune. This was good. Unfortunately it took nearly triple the normal amount of Hypercrates to get the items I actually wanted and also wanted to sell for profit. I was mostly ok with this. Now my real problem: The Revenge pack is either broken or just plain set up to screw the buyer. I say this from this week’s experience with them. I do not attribute this to RNG. There is a huge difference in these packs with what actually is dropping from each individual crate. 50% of my Revenge Hypercrates were a mix of companion gifts, Jawa junk and maybe chance cube or 2. Only a few armors, a handful of decos, and very few mounts. Very few gold’s with an average of 2 per pack. Down from an average of 3-4+ per previous Hypercrate. Now I did get a Tuning (which is plat I think), but we all know this latest one is poop. I am only posting this because I feel that this latest "Revenge" cartel pack is either broken or has been deliberately set up to drop less than previous packs. There is definatly something "different" with this Revenge pack. So, I will spend the rest of my 50,000 cartel coins I have left on a few more Hypercrates and sell all the all chance cubes so I can get the items I want. I do not have any regrets, not butthurt and know how to get what I want without being a big baby. Who knows, I may get some good RNG and not have to worry? But I am seeing a trend of having to spend more and more at the store to get items I want out of these Hypercrates. Actual Mount, outfit, weapon, and gold drop rates are less and less.

Not sure if you refuse to read developer posts or are incapable of reading comprehension? It was clearly stated they will be adding the Tuning to almost all weapons in future patches/updates. To me this means that weapons that do not have it "now" will have tunings added to them and not overlooked. Why make a forum stink out of a non issue?

Got in after about 10 min. Weird. Feels like a DOS attack.

I am getting the same crap on Shadowlands. I am a sub and 302 in Q...Really? On a Saturday morning. WTH? Also, This only happened a year or so ago when they got Dos attacked.

So our guild, from the beginning of launch, foresaw this issue and have a great policy in place. 3-4 mains in main guild then we have 2 or 3 alt guilds for alts. Even level 65 alts in alt guild. We use our own custom guild chat so everyone can see who is on, chatting and communicate. I assume you are using voice Chat? The limit is the limit. Conquest is a joke and worthless now and you only need the XP boost if you are leveling so having some in an alt guild makes no difference. I still get conquest reward mats from PvP ing or other activities in alt guild.

OP, your first mistake was thinking that being honest to a pug group was going to help you. No one needs to know you are a noob in Ops. Especially Story Mode. It targets you for the scape-goat upon a failure. Even if they check achievements you can claim you quit and started a new account. whatever. But seriously, join a good raiding guild that has been in game for a while. On Shadowlands my guild, "Old Timers Guild" has been in the gaming business for over 15+ years in all multiplayer games. We take in all players (age requirement tho) new, old, good, bad, even Soloer's and get them up to speed, gear and runs. Some people like to just Solo and occasionally run ops. We have weekly and weekend runs for that. Basically, OP, there ARE guilds out there that accommodate for solo players. My last dvice tho is to listen to the others that have posted here about reading/watching Operation boss tatics and gearing and be prepared if you are going to stick to pugging.

Eric, is it really 9,999 or 999? 9,999 seems a bit high for a stack. But if it is 9,999 I guess I will have one stack of everything to only worry about and be able to use my legacy bay again. Thanks!

First, the 20 pvp matches are easy and take 1 Saturday or split into a Sat and a Sunday afternoon. On my server (Shadowlands) these times are peak for PvP as is Friday nights and Saturday nights. As most have said here it is a "choice" to do it. Not a requirement. Second, the 20 LT Pierce/M1-4x PvP matches are gated to go along with the "Intro toPvP", the Daily and the Weekly thus netting you the exact amount of comms to get a FULL SET OF 204 PVP GEAR and have extra comms left over for either decos or better gear. You do the Intro and Daily then grab the Weekly 15 matches while doing the 20. It takes a total of 20,750 comms to get a full set of 208 from scratch. Like I said, the 20 matches was set at 20 for a reason........to get you a 204 full set. Third, if you hate pvp because you are either afraid to play with PvE gear, scared of geared players, afraid your bad, and or just a sissy baby, gut up and do it if you really want the companions. I was a PvP hater and never played PvP until I did the Lt. Pierce missions. Once you get the PvP gear the playing field starts to even out. Once you get 208 it is just skill and tatics. After I finally got my 208 set I was grillin and killin, takin nodes, and actually having fun! It took me 2 weeks to get 3 toons fully geared in 208. Lastly, if you end up liking PvP and want to get your 208 set, I and others have a great, fun, and easy way to do it. Run level 10's, get the free 2,300-2,500 (depending on wins) coms for doing intro, daily and weekly (approx 7 matches). Running 8-9 level 10's (or any lowbies) will get you a full 208 set for a main 65. Honestly, to the OP, gut up, do the time, stop whining and get your companion. I sucked ballz for the first 15 matches but also got some kills and won some matches. I took heat from geared PvPer's and came back with 204 and then 208 and wiped their faces later on. Edit: I also was able to recruit 3 other guildies to join me and now we are running a 4 man team in WarZones and sometimes 8 if it pops right.

Very good... Got 3 Spearman statues, the huge Sand Crawler, Yavin Arena, and tons of other lesser but expensive decorations no longer in circulation. I also got a lot of crap ones...errr....not selling or I already had. You will have to open quite a few packs...like 14,500cc worth to get the rng to benefit you.
