It seems to be working now and I didn't even have to resort to Bitraider. I guess they were able to get more than one braincell working on the problem finally.

You're wrong. If you're on Earth, you may be affected. That makes it geographical!

Every time there is an issue like this, I marvel at the lack of true troubleshooting that goes on with this company. This issue should have been fixed in an hour at the most.

That was my plan if they didn't fix this soon. Good idea to post it for others to see and use!

I'm glad it worked for some people. But I didn't say that it didn't work for anybody. I said that it didn't work for many. I was JUST on the phone with their customer support and they said they're working on the issue and there was little any player can do to fix the issue themselves. They said many people called in and that using bitraider over not using bitraider made little difference. I tried your method and it didn't work. I am glad that it does for some.

This doesn't work for many people anyway. After talking to customer service by phone, they're aware of the issue and have no fix as of yet. Apparently it's too hard for them to understand their own networking and patching coding.

Lucky you. I keep getting an error in the patch, and when it goes to a repair scan, it keeps erroring out. I reopen the launcher and it goes to the patcher and errors out again...rinse and repeat. How incompetent are these guys?

Any luck yet? You should be able to use you interrupts, and if he casts again while your interrupts are on cooldown, have you tried force push (assuming he's not immune), also you can pop your defenses. If you have Light 5 alignment, you have an amazing new "oh crap" button. If not, perhaps some temporary buffs that are different than what you use? Some cantina vendors sell ones that add to presence that stack with stims for other stats, for instance.

I didn't realize T7 would be forced on me for the conflict until I got there, and said, hey, it can't be -that- hard, so tried. T7 had level 15 gear still... haha. After dying twice, I fleet passed and geared him up with level 50 gear and came back..and lost again...until...

Not to mention they'll have the nice shiny legacy sytem to wave in your face, making you want to pay to transfer and consolidate your chars into a busy server all under the same legacy.
