Why? The only thing in the hypercrate you'd want you're not even going to get.

No it's the launcher.

That's basically what I did. Are you on the old non-KotFE launcher as well?

Try downloading and using the tor community predownloader, after it's finished, reinstall the launcher.

"As a person that works very deep in it" you should know that if they don't have any local machines experiencing 308 errors they need the log file from launchers that are experiencing the problem so they can trace the source.

Installation was completed. I was able to log in and everything. It's very odd that the OLD launcher isn't trying to automatically update itself to the new one. http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=8922005&postcount=148

So I've had some interesting results.. In order of trying stuff. 1. Tried the ipconfig /flush /release /renew 2. Tried the tor community predownloaded 3. Tried Fix Launcher 4. Tried redownloading the launcher and reinstalling it ( https://account.swtor.com/user/games ) After reinstalling the launcher and delete the /patch folder and DiskCacheArena I am now installing the assets download through the predownloader. Even more interesting is my launcher did NOT update to the KotFE launcher. I'm on the the old launcher with the coruscant ruins in the background and a giant HK face in the foreground. Update... I can play the game, the launcher is still the old one oddly enough, go figure.

It's not an exploit, it's bad map design. /bug report it. They should extend the area designated as part of spawn out onto those rafters so players can't be on them without getting booted out of the warzone when the shield opens. Always /bug report. Don't assume someone else did it, don't assume enough people have reported it.

Wasn't able to watch it live sadly. Any chance the VoD will be made public or put it on youtube?

Let's talk about hackers and all the video evidence. You know what the common thread about all these hackers are in these videos people post. Not a single video shows the hacker being reported. How will Austin ban them if they're not getting reported EVERY TIME there's a match with a hacker in it? How will Austin investigate the activities? The most prominent pvp hacker in the game has had to make over 20 new accounts by his own admission to get around the permanent bans he's received. In a world of proxies and dynamic ip addresses, people that want to get around bans, can. The only thing Austin can do is fix the security holes inside the client and attempt to fix the maps if it's possible.

Oh course this doesn't mean these bugs won't make it into live. I know people reported the dailies/weeklies tracking and sharing bugs on PTS but they made it into live. I know because I reported the tracking bug.

Great, I look forward to see it.

It's true, there are quite a few bosses in 4.0 that are missing mechanics or phases in story mode. When people switch from storymode to hardmode they now have to be prepared for 2 "new" mechanics instead of 1 in addition to all the mechanics being ramped up to be more punishing for standing in them. Most guides are written 4.0 so there's no warning.

Awesome, thanks.

Yes 90cc was a deal... especially 90cc character renames, which is why the price was increased, people were using transfers for cheap character renames.

Are there plans to stream this for those that would like to watch?

Will there be a stream for those interested in watching?

Server messages are bad PR and they won't do anything until they're ready to restructure everything.

My concern is in the first paragraph. "If you want to equip a Weapon Tuning the first thing you’ll need is a weapon with an available Tuning Slot." This to me implies there will be weapons that don't have tuning slots. I hope all orange or purple weapons have a slot.. but this statement makes it look like not all.

It won't, they're looking for specific activities that generated these credits and then tracking these credits as they were filtered out to the general population.

You're implying that 20 minutes mission that comes out every month is difficult. A complete joke? WoD raid content was some of the best in MMO and mythic was the difficulty people have been wanting. I want this game to have content that takes 200+ attempts to clear, if you want to talk about face roll, let's talk about here. Sorry, I can decipher what you're saying.

1 paragraph apologizing for bugs. 1 paragraph rehashing content you released. 1 paragraphs not talking about future content. 1 paragraph of PR hype. 1 paragraph making the same empty promises. 0 paragraphs acknowledging specific bugs and time line for fixing them. 0 paragraphs about new content, like operations. 0 paragraphs about the direction of the game. KotFE ends the same month Legion comes out. Like WoW or not, with the release of Legion it'll have had 5 new raids come out since SWTOR's last. On top of that, WoW's pvp is being completely overhauled from how you gear for it to having a dedicated talent system. Eventually people are going to realize they don't need to be subbed month-to-month to enjoy SWTOR's current model and this whole letter will be meaningless.

There are so few viable servers for pvp I'd argue serious pvpers should have 65s on all viable servers instead of transferring between.

It's been my long held belief that we're already on Megaservers. What do I mean? Well Harbinger is a mega server. Shadowlands, Jedi Covenant, and Ebon Hawk are normal servers. Perhaps they combine the three or perhaps they leave them alone to prevent another Harbinger, and just let all the other servers die out until they're closed completely. In all honesty, if I were Austin and redoing the server list/client like they did, I'd have made it so that new players only see Harbinger, Shadowlands, Jedi Covenant, and Ebon Hawk unless they enable some options that's not obvious.

This isn't a particularly huge surprise, this was the case during 1.x with Huttball. It popped so much because it was much easier to fill all imp huttball then multiple imp vs pub matches on a lot of servers.
