Is there a technical reason why 5.7 is taking forever to install? After 6 hours yesterday I managed to get to 80% installed but the rate was down to 512k or 1024 at best. Trying to continue this morning and am at 1024/512 again. I have fibre internet, the game was fully up to date before patching, and whilst on occasion some SWTOR installs have been randomly slower before, I have never had this issue. The launcher has the ST letters on left hand side which I believe denotes the streaming version of launcher. Any ideas?

Guildy and I got dropped from Yavin 4 to character select screen also last night. One second was in WZ, the next back at character select. Only happened once, managed 2 x Yavin WZ without issue before.

Happening a lot in wz since patch, die and respawn and then unable to go invis as it's deemed I am still in combat even after death. Can take quite a while to reset also. Running hatred assassin but believe other stealth classes are seeing same - death should be an effective means of clearing combat tbh.

Am getting the same on my hatred assassin in almost every wz now since 5.6. Yeah, it feels like ages before you drop out of combat, you would think that death is a pretty effective way to end combat..........

Happened to us on Red Eclipse also 2 days ago. One by one characters being kicked from ship when they exit warzones and no longer able to access to guils ship travel option also. GL was also kicked last night after leaving a wz and cannot return - how do BW fix this in short term?

Just wondering if this is working as intended. Was in a PVE instance in Outlaws Den, which is a group PVP area but was unable to fight other people there. Is the area working as designed or should a pvp area within a pve instance allow pvp? I assumed I would be able to fight still and this is just a BW oversight, but maybe I missed some info on this?

Couldn't work out a way to invite someone with a space in their character name into guild yesterday. Typing /ginvite and then the new format names don't appear to work. Tried using the space and without using space etc and nothing worked. I'm assuming someone forgot to add this when the name format changed but if anyone has found a way please post here!

Universal prefab mk-3 are no longer searchable/appear either. They are on me sale list but cannot find them for sale via search on gtn.

Please also update/create titles for achievements/milestones such as number of kills/mvp etc. Total/wins/mvp/players killed etc. These are simple changes (valor hasnt moved from 100 since launch btw). why does 1000 wz wins not give you a neat title for example - simple rewards for frequent wz players.

Hah, if only BW could find a way of releasing new PVP warzones via Cartel Market - then there would be no issue releasing new content.

Question on PVP. Does equipping a shield actually work in PVP? Is it worth removing the mods from brutaliser focus piece and slotting them in a shield? Is there any marginal benefit at all? Should add that this is for dps builds..

I was the OP, and I haven't made this mistake as I'm careful that I don't accidently spend 1.8m on basic mats. I buy and sell a lot of mats and have seen this pricing so many times now I thought I would flag for discussion. I have had to pause and double check the pricing to ensure I am not making the mistake. I don't mind people charging what they want for an item, what I wanted to flag was that there are a number of people who are deliberately pricing their items so that they may appear to be the lowest priced item of that type on the list when you sort, but in fact due to the way the pricing is structured they are actually 1,800,007 (per mat, or similar pricing structure whereas the next lowest price is 1900 or 2000)- so that they appear on an initial price sort as the lowest priced item when in fact they are costing millions. Take a look at the GTN on your servers and I guess you will see the same. A quick way to make a few million I guess for some people. If someone falls for this then fair enough if people believe this is fine, but setting the price of a basic mat to appear low when in fact it is intended to get you to accidently click and buy and spend a few million credits is to my mind a deliberate opportunist act. Some good advice about setting the min/max values for trades and I will also now consider transferring bulk of my cash to an alt that I dont use to buy and sell so that I do not by accident spend 5m on 3 basic mats. I can see someone else doing it and it doesn't seem reasonable behaviour to me, but thats up to BW to decide I guess.

Maybe scam is the wrong word, opportunist is probably more apt. I haven't fallen foul of this practice but can see a point where someone would accidently click on an item thinking it was the lowest price and suddenly find their entire bank balance had gone. Sorting the sort might make it clearer or providing some short term cancellation of a trade ie 30 seconds. I would notice if 5m came out of my balance rather than the 5k i thought. The problem only really arises when you are in a hurry and trying to buy up mats as cheap as possible - but its a pretty horrid mistake to happen if your entire savings go awol!

I've seen lots of items being sold where the pricing format is intended to deceive the purchaser i.e nanosilk being sold for 1,800,007 per item. It's purely being sold like this to catch people out who click the unit price to list in low price order and do not double check that they are looking at a list in low price order. I know everyone should double check but a lot of purchases are done in haste and the guys selling nano silk was charging over 5m for 3 pieces and this is done, and the format is done, purely in a manner to deceive someone into accidently paying stupid money for an item. If someone does make a purchase in error, is there any comeback? Doesnt feel right to be scamming people in this way, particularly as there isnt anywhere to safely stash your cash - ie you could pay your entire cash stack in error!

Scrap ranked all together. Create reward based system around normals, must be a bucket load of stats they have and could use. The only viable pvp content on a number of servers is normal wz. Anyone can play normals and people generally can get a few games in with at least some wins (compared to ranked/issues discussed with ranked). Harder to fix results of normals as having a viable pvp population creates some element of random opposition. If they did something around rewards/ranking in normal then they might be able to build wz teams on setup around those general rankings also as they should in theory have a bigger pot of players. Ranked on the red eclipse spiked for maybe 48hrs, don't bother queuing anymore as there isn't any info on whether anyone else is actually in same queue and that you stupidly have to wait in this limbo status indefinitely when you could at least get some normal wz pops. Kill ranked, focus on normals.

Its a well know bug, its called "open your effing eyes" although sometimes also heard it called the "next time call effing incs earlier"

I noticed this when I hit 49 and forgot about it. Just spend circa 200k getting my lvl 50 abilities, most of which were re purchasing abilities I already had. Hope they are able to refund credits

Have had the same bug twice this week, and not had this before. Twice when running with the ball around the opposition Pit area the ball has randomly reset to middle. There was no attempt to throw the ball. I checked the text that gets posted to chat box and there was no mention of ball being thrown/terrible pass, it simply says neutral ball. Anyone else had similar recently. The last time I had this I was running clock down with a 3-3 score. 10 seconds to go, dropped into pit with healer alongside me and the ball just reset - they grabbed from middle and won the game! I've raised a ticket anyway but wondered if anyone else has seen the same since last patch? This is not something Ive noticed before and I only play WZ so would have expected to notice if this is old bug..

Is there a reason why these experience boosts countdown when you are not in a WarZone? Depending on time of day/server, you can spend 20-30 mins waiting for a WZ to pop and yet in that time 30 mins from your experience boost has been "spent". Surely the experience boost should only countdown when you are in a WZ or be amended to work in "x" number of warzones rather than be influenced by time spent waiting on fleet for WZ to open.

I do a lot of PVP. This includes waiting around for a WZ to pop at various times of day. There isn't much else to do so often tab away to view things on Internet. I often miss a WZ pop up whilst I am tabbed away, I only hear the WZ noise as I click back and there is a short reload. I have noticed however that whilst tabbed away from the game I still hear my crew announcements upon mission completion. Just wondering why I can hear these and not the WZ pop up noise? Is this something you can easily fix as there are probably others like me who tab away from the game at various points. If crew mission completion announcements can be heard whilst away, can you make it so for when a WZ is ready to join? Thanks

Can you really equip both? I have enough comms to buy another WH relic so wanted to check you can have 2x power relics? Already have 1xWH power relic, 2x the power would be nice.

It has to be a few days not weeks. Every day that passes = more people giving up. Forget any other changes, prioritise transfers to make the game viable. Had our first pvp yesterday at 16:50 gmt. Three games played then it died. Server population this morning (Dxun Battle Circle Euro PVE) 9am gmt 48 reps total - 11 level 50's 39 imps total - 6 Level 50's How does this compare to other servers people?

Dxun Battle server (euro pve). Right now, 3:30pm GMT and 17 lvl 50s online total on Imp side. Total Imp server population = 82. Rep side. 10 lvl 50s and total server population = 75. Server total = 157 people. Of these 27 lvl 50s. Combined fleet population was 6 I think. Typical PVP wont pop until around 6pm GMT anymore and then its imp on imp with same faces all the time. Anyone beat that right now? Btw - server is described as light population. Maybe prior to 1.3 we could have these regraded to dead/extinct/dont bother or similar?

The lack of info is killing the game for those that have remained on assumption that something is being done. On our Euro server, all the regular PVP players have quit playing on server and re rolled on the largest Euro PVP server. It was hard enough getting PVP pops when they were here, now they have left it is terrible. I took a quick look at the population on their server choice and they had 40 ppl at 9am on Korriban alone. I haven't seen that many people on Imp fleet on my server in weeks! So, the choice is stay on current server and hope for occasional PVP pop in prime time, or start all over again on a new server? I've cancelled sub now and am waiting for something to happen. I like this game, but am paying a monthly sub for a multiplayer game with no players. If something concrete was communictaed by BW to tell people what is happening and when then it might help stabilise populations on servers for those people prepared to wait for merge/server. Please sort this BW.

For anyone that has reinstalled from discs and via download. There was an original LAUNCH issue where the copies of discs distrubted didnt have the right launch version and so anyone using the affected discs kept crashing as the game tried to load the "launch movie" This issue remains, so anyone who has been impacted by the 1.2 fiasco from yesterday and today who also had issues when game first released will have the same issue. Do this and it works: I posted this back when game launched as had missed 2 or 3 days of game time waiting for a solution: Got this from another thread, tried it and it works. 1) load up as you have been trying. 2) do not input your login details! 3) change the language setting to either french or german and go back to launcher screen and wait. do not select play yet. 4) patching should now start again!!! 5) change setting back to english and wait. 6) press play!
