I'm finding this problem now as well. Three other friends have had this issue. The game worked before dinner. It doesn't work after dinner. Thus far a friend from Colorado and Arizona likewise can't access. Something larger is likely at play here than the usual.

This brings up a point I've always wondered. Why do you never see Jedi/Sith employ tactics or techniques of enemies such as Bounty Hunters? You would think they could use such things as a 'force multiplier' for their abilities. I know that in one of the Knights of the Old Republic games I played as a gunslinging Jedi, and I had a great time of it.

I get the sense there is something else in the Star Wars universe. There are beings who are resistant to the force, and in some cases perhaps use the force in different ways. The Dashade is a good example. Figures such as Boba & Jango Fett seem to give Jedi a serious run for their money as well. It might very well be possible that some of these dangerous figures are in fact force sensitive in their own way, and do not even know it. I do think at the 'epic' stage of the game though it would likely make sense if the Trooper/Agent/BH/Smuggler had some reason explained in for their miraculous capacity to slough off space-wizards trickery.

I've been gone a couple of years, but now that I'm back I have to say the feeling that my character was a pugilist seems to be dead. Don't get me wrong I realize they made the shotgun more prevalent for the style, but does anyone else miss being the pugilist that they once were? I notice my Operative still has a wide array of vicious dagger slices and stabs, so I must say I'm a little saddened. The entire theme and feel for my Scrapper seems dead.

I have to agree that I don't appreciate the reset of these achievements. I've been away from the game for some time due to real life business and concerns. When I logged in it was for brief moments, and not enough time to really get into the game seriously. I returned a little over a week ago and discovered there was an event going on. I did my best to complete much of it, and came just short of completing the Champion and Eternal level ones. Had they kept the information for a later date, I'd have been willing to achieve this in the future, but since it is forgetting all my efforts, there's no way I'm going to crate ANOTHER 8 characters and try to grind this again. That would be a huge headache I'm not willing to regrind. Its a shame they went this route. I can understand locking the achievement til they choose to pick up the event again, but wiping it out is just a mistake altogether. I really don't understand the thinking process behind this. (Then again I'm not such a large fan of Events in general on any MMO I've played in the last 10 years. All the best events in my view were player driven. Make the game fun and we'll find humorous ways to entertain ourselves, like trying to see if we can beat a boss using only certain abilities, etc.)
