Same issue. Submitted bug report. Unable to progress now. Needs urgent hotfix. I expect some sort of recompense. Cancelled subscription again.

+1 About the chat. I'm on an RP server and it doesn't really fit that we cant talk cross-faction nor does it make sense that we don't have a general realm/server chat channel. You're telling me that in this fantasy setting we've mastered interstellar travel and holocam communications but I cant "text" someone on another planet? Not likely! I get messages all the time in the game coming from a completely different solar system- in real time I might add. And I'm supposed to believe we cant have a universal channel so I can spam LFGs?

No. It lacks a lot of common mmo features that I prefer, namely a "looking for dungeon/raid" tool. As with many busy adults, I don't have time to spam chat in order to play a flashpoint nor do I have the luxury of having time available when guild members schedule an event. When this feature is added, I will return.

+1 Looking for Flashpoint and Operations both cross-server.

Are you all talking Rep or Imps? Because I can't find it in the republic fleet.

Maybe Im missing it but where is the damn forum search engine? I can't find it anywhere on screen. I'd like to search for topic and such without trolling through pages of threads.

From what I've played in beta and early access, story lines are based on primary classes: Knight, Smuggler, etc. Not the specializations.
