I'm not liking the level sync system. I've spent a lot of time getting my gear and character to the point it's at at and being dropped to a lower level with no option is unacceptable. There's a lot of open world in the game to make mobs challenging for pve and it's just insulting to be held back like this. If I want lower level content to be challenging, I'll roll another character, or just remove some gear. Every time a new expansion comes out, we're all forced to reach the new level cap just to get back what had before the expansion was released. The new story is awesome, but it has to be balanced with new content. I'm definitely going to stop playing if level sync is not made optional. Protest with your wallet!
If anyone is getting the "Failed to load room dat file" crash when trying to load a planet in the game, here's what I did to resolve the issue: -Log out and close SWTOR -Find your Star Wars The Old Republic shortcut that you click on to launch the game -Right Click on it and go to Properties -Click on "Open File Location" -Double click on "Assets" -Find "swtor_main_areadat_1.tor" and MOVE this file to your desktop do not copy it, physically move it. -Relaunch the game. This will force SWTOR to regen and download the missing and most recent file from the servers. No need to run a repair tool or reinstall the game. -Enjoy your hair..
