sure but that doesnt explain why the mail/GTN werent working, why people lost their guilds and why the launcher was hanging instead of letting us get to server select and placing us in a queue.

I am finally in, but 3 guildies are still unable to log in.

no, as i mentioned 2 guildies tried again, well 1 of those 2 IS now in fleet and she says there are 13 others in as well. meanwhile myself and 2 others are still unable to login.

I made it to the character screen but nothing will load, it is just going round and round. 2 guildies who were experiencing the same thing alt+f4 and tried again but now they cant even get to the character screen. Someone forgot to test the update!

Just to be 100% accurate, I picked up Taral V (which was where the cosular unasambled gloves droped) and it states, [HARD] Flashpoint: Taral V and if you have played this game then you should already have known that Taral V along with the list of other flashpoints I named in my post above IS a Flashpoint. I'm not sure why even people in the forums can't seems to look at the actual problem. PROBLEM: Patch notes state that in flashpoints last boss loot will take group composition into account. 3 troopers and 1 JK received a Consular gloves. Either its a bug or Patch notes are wrong. Oh and you must not have played swtor or have a bad recollection, because you cannot enter a flashpoint without first having the quest since it could be Story or Hard mode.

To my recollection there isn't a single quest in Swtor that has [Flaspoint] in the quest name. False Emperor, Taral V, Hammer Station, The Esselles, Kaon, Lost Islands, Battle of Ilum, Directive 7 and others are all [Flashpoints]. I'm not sure what you are asking because False Emperor is an instance.

FLASHPOINT FALSE EMPEROR is a "flashpoint" and I died "Before" malgus died so my objective did NOT complete and I was NOT allowed to enter the instance and there were NO messages that stated that I was not allowed to enter and my Daily did NOT complete. It simply loaded me from ilum back to ilum. The gloves were a final boss drop Columi Unassambled Consular Gloves.

Since 1.2 patch I have submitted several tickets (the last one being ticket 4953090) attempting to point out that things are not working as intended but every single reply has been either "It is not a bug and is working as intended." or "We cannot return an item you did not win." even though I, the player, NEVER REQUESTED for an item. I am posting in this forum because obviously the people responding to the tickets do not know 1.2 is live or 1.2 patch notes are plain wrong. Taken from 1.2 patch notes today. "You will no longer lose access to a Flashpoint phase immediately after defeating the final boss in Hard Mode. Access is removed upon completing the [FLASHPOINT] mission." Malgus pushed/killed me (the tank) at 11%hp and I was automatically ejected to ilum since fall death does not give you the option to "Return to Med Center" and moments after I died my group killed Malgus. Prior to 1.2 the player was locked out of the flashpoint and was unable to loot boss. POST 1.2 when I tried to zone back in the loading screen came on but when it finally loaded I was in Ilum again. I tried again with no difference. My group was waiting for me to load in to loot chest. My False Emperor quest and daily DID NOT COMPLETE. According to the patch notes it is my understanding that I should have been able to enter and loot the chest no? on 3 different tickets CSR stated that the game "Is working as intended." and on 1 instance told me they could not give me the loot from the chest... which is not the issue... zoning into the instance is. Taken from 1.2 patch notes today. "Loot drops from endgame activities, such as Operations and Flashpoints, now take group composition into account." First Hard Mode Flashpoint my guild did was Taral V with 3 troopers and 1 JK. The last boss dropped Consular gloves. This too was responded by CSR that "It is working as intended." My understanding of "... take group composition into account." means if there are 3 troopers and a JK the final boss loot will be either Trooper or JK no? CSR stated that the game "Is working as intended." So... which is it? Is it in fact a bug? or are the Patch Notes for 1.2 wrong? I'd put money that CSR would say... The patch notes are correct and the game is working as intended. If you feel that this aspect of the game could work differently, we strongly recommend posting your feedback on our "Suggestion Box" forum.

From my personal experience I had 24k HP at one point in my tanks life and I had a serious problem keeping agro in HM/NiM raids. I started switching from endurance to DPS so I wasn't relying solely on taunts to hold agro (specially vs multi targets) which Exploding Surge is my main multi target taunt. My Healers can keep me alive whether @ 24k HP or 17kHP and I use an Aim stim and only use an endurance stim as a defensive skill. Ultimately the more damage you do the easier you can hold agro and if your mitigation is in the 50% realm your Endurance becomes irrelevant. You already have enough and in a pinch you can pop multiple defensive skills and last long enough for healers to catch up while doing maximum dmg and holding maximum agro. Currently I tank with 18-19k HP with a musume sweet spot of 68.33.

hi, first off Thank You Very Much for the work you put into this. I was trying to do something similar but couldn't get the formulas right. Yours is so far ahead of what I wanted to do that its easier to help polish yours than start a new one. On that note there are quite a few bugs when changing from Powertech to Vanguard with respect with skill names and some skills returning #Value (Threath A29 and A30 with Ion Cell) and mostly with the DPS sheet as far as weapon DPS (Stockstrike and Full Auto being the biggest diff from sheet to actual dps values) Here is my stats as shield vanguard ingame numbers vs your sheet. Hope that helps you pin point some errors and improve it for everyone.

The complain is some people are playing and some people are not. Prior to this MMO players usually get access on the first day with either heavy lag or long queues. This staggered approach is essentially a queue based on pre-order date, but unlike previous MMOs its not a matter of hours its a matter of DAYS. That is the complain.

I totally agree with you but if you truely feel this way you already failed to PRE-ORDER 1ST which whould have led you to do all the other things you just mentioned.

I don't completely disagree with what you said nor am I an administrator of anything but I MUCH rather pay an actual extra fee (like a speed pass) and KNOW I have access on day 1 than simply pre-order and find out I don't.

the Official launch day may be in 7 days, but as far as game access was this morning. The game IS live right now so that is what they refer to as "launch".

the $5 IS refundable as long as you have NOT used the key and if you bought the physical game it is still sealed.
