Cheers - pleased it's not just me, less pleased it's another bug. I have some faith - after raising tickets almost weekly I suddenly got the "Grave Robber" title that I'ad achieved numerous months prior. But before that I had to go through the cycle of Ticket>close please raise bug>Bug Ticket>Close we know, tough

I've just checked the progress of my "The Galaxy Conqueror" achievement. In the list Hoth is not checked - however I have conquered it and I have the achievement to show I have. It is however possible that this achievement was gained from a Republic character, the rest from Imperial. Do you have to conquer all planets from the same faction for this achievement or have I simply found another achievement bug to add to the rest?

LOL Always someone ready to defend. They know EXACTLY what is wrong with it, it will be EXACTLY the same problem that stopped conquest from running a month or so ago. Considering the game hasn't been patched for so long it is highly unlikely to be something new. It is something that should have been permanently fixed when it happened last time (you know, similar to issues with other events that should have been permanently fixed - but still all failed in December) but of course wasn't. "Looking in to it" simply means yup - it happened again, we know why, we'll get around to fixing it.....again.....eventually.

Ah! "Looking into it" ™

How about rewards and titles for last week - have they been given out or is it "conquest in general" broken right now? BW - the joke of the MMO world.

There is not one person who sought and purchased the slot machine that didn't make their money back on it - saying that I expect loads of people to pop along now and tell me that isn't the case. With the machine at release you couldn't lose. Everyone got their reputation up to max, the green/blue/purple items sold to recoup the credits spent on the coins to run the machine. The certificates were used to unlock items people really desired - that is worth the money spent on the machine, and those not spent are stock-piled ready for this use. The Jawa Junk was turned into massive profit - we all know what purple crafting materials sell for. Add-in that the majority of machine owners got them as random drops from the cartel packs - so it was cartel coins they were spending anyway, they just got the machine as a random drop. I know some people paid credits for them, but they did so knowing full well they could reap the rewards from the machine and as above, I expect the majority of people who bought the machine for credits didn't lose anything during those days the machines remained as they were from release.

That alone doesn't mean it is not an NVidia issue. There is a current issue with ATI cards, you need to run at medium settings if you're running one of the latest two drivers or else things like lightsaber effects don't appear etc. This is an ATI issue as it wasn't a problem until two driver releases ago. I'm sure you're right in that it is almost certainly a "hero engine" issue - but still something NVidia/ATI need to fix, as they broke it in the first place.

Every few weeks the same post. You have a choice, nobody is forcing you to do anything. Want the companion to add to the 15 you've already got - then stomach a few warzones and get him. You lose nothing from taking part in a WZ, as you know death means nothing. You might enjoy it, you might not - but it's a couple of hours work - play during the day, get arena's and they are over in a mater of minutes. Or, you don't get the companion. How is this any different to people who don't want to have to do PvE content to get a companion? Or the people who don't want to collect resources to get a companion? Who don't want to be subscribed on a certain date to get a companion? You have a choice, in the same way you have a choice to do the PvP missions during the Gree event. If you don't want to do them, don't. But you also don't get the reward for doing them.

Please do this BW. Then, at the same time, turn the game into a full-downloadable and turn off the servers. You can then roll out your patches as "DLC" every 3-4 months (same rate you're doing patching right now). No PvP Everyone wants to just play on their own with overpowered companions - just shut them servers off. You'll save money not having to run the servers and you can get customers to buy "season tickets" for the DLC. I don't actually agree with anything I've written above, but it appears there are plenty of people that want this as a single player game, so give it to them maybe. Money to be made, just keep them off the servers once they have switched to "single-player at home" mode.

There isn't the market for it. People either want to start at 1 and do anything and everything - takes what, 2-3 days to reach 65, or 5-7 casually. Or they instantly want to hit 60 and go off and do the new expansion - all 3hrs of the cinematic's. There will be effort required in designing a "straight to 50" token - no, it won't be a simple matter of changing the current token to reach 50 rather than 60. I'm sure it's something the OP wants, realistically not something the vast majority want. What I have noticed is the vast majority want a straight to 60 but will full credit for completing everything before - so all titles etc. and the ability to go back and do anything and everything they want from levels 1-60. Campaign for that - remember these days in SWTOR all you need is a few vocal people crying and threatening to quit and BW will give you what you want.

Just one of the many, many bugs that have been around for months - simply because BW aren't doing patches at the moment. BW had more important things to worry about - coffee, lunch, extended Christmas break, coffee, doughnuts, more coffee. We wait to see if 4.1 will add new content and a lot of fixes or if it'll just add more content to sit on top of an extremely bug-ridden game.

Which in turn boils down to "Yes, it does get very tedious and boring by the time you run, for example, your forth character through exactly the same content". I'd happily pay cartel coins for a "straight to chapter 10" token that can be used on any character about to embark on the latest expansion.

All Mk8's are being upgraded to Mk9's.

No, it's not "terrible for you" it is simply random.

Well no, it isn't really.

With absolutely no indication there was going to be anything new this week - why are you surprised?

Well you won't like the answers The name issue will either be that someone on the server you were moved to had that name or else it is now banned for whatever reason. You can try raising a ticket on the issue, however I don't recall anyone having any luck there. The issue with legacy was that you had to log characters in between certain dates for everything to be "registered" once the achievements were bought into the game. It was something like 6-8 months, but of course if you were away from the game for a couple of years then you will have missed those dates. Influence on companions I cannot explain and your legacy being reset to 0 is also confusing. Have you checked to make sure you haven't got other characters on other servers? Maybe your higher legacy is actually on a different server? Again, tickets to CS usually fall on deaf ears as they assume the 6-8 month period for people to login old characters was plenty of time for anyone who was likely to be "coming back".

Because it isn't needed! The only two things you cannot do with level sync in play is: Solo world bosses - Good. They were never designed to be solo creatures and it gets in the way of groups who want them for conquest, etc. Gank lowbie players who are flagged - Good. No more groups of level 65's killing off 25-30's So, those are the things you cannot do with level sync on. Why do you want the ability to turn it off? *Edit* Ah, can probably answer my own question - Eeeepeen.

The game is the same game be it on a PvE or PvP server. I think I am safe in my statement, but you are certainly in the minority of people, even those on a PvP server that felt as, for example, as a level 25, having to keep an eye out for level 60+ was fun. That being ganked by groups of people double your level was "fun". If this was something you enjoyed then hats off to you, but the majority didn't, PvP servers are as good as dead anyway, so changing it back so you can be ganked is not going to happen. So very basically, you want the level cap removed so that you can go gank people the same way it happened to you? I'm not seeing any other arguments put forward. The world boss issue has been solved, with level cap. So the reason you want the cap removing is to go kill some 25-30's with your 65? I'm sure they would all be having so much fun while you did it.

Overreaction much?

There is still this major confusion with SWTOR that people need to understand. SWTOR is NOT a free-to-play game with a subscription option. SWTOR IS a subscription based game with a free-to-play option. This "re-framing" of what the game actually is does help people understand. The game is designed to be subscribed to and that subscription gets you everything. The free-to-play option is the limited option, the one that only allows you to progress to a certain level, to only experience part of the game. Realise this and then you can fully appreciate the differences between subscriber and preferred.

Was actually fixed some time ago - I have this achievement I know, it came as a real shock to a lot of people - Bioware actually fixing a bug. Not that it was a major one like most, but still, a bug fix is a bug fix.....I guess.

You remember that pop-up you got on the screen when you started the expansion? The one you didn't bother reading and simply clicked off? Well now do what that pop-up told you to do and switch off "tutorial mode" and all your abilities will return.

No. The game has been bug ridden for around 4 months now with absolutely no sign of any kind of bug fixes being released - next week the servers go down for 2hrs of "backend maintenance" and that's it. Stop dreaming of any major changes to this game. If they cannot even get the simple things right, like allowing players a near bug-free environment, then they aren't going to make any major changes.

"Backend fixes" does not sound like bug fixes to me. But hay, we've had rubbish server performance, filled with bugs since what, October, so a few more weeks/months aren't going to hurt. It brings a real tear to the eye when the people who work on the game don't give a damn about it.
