Yes that is true, though Eric did recant his earlier statement in a later post. So all bets are off, the old packs may or may not reflect the new drop rates. On the other hand the changes to drop quality does not change the chances of duplicate drops of previously obtained gear. So as you progress through the Tier you get batter qualirty of crap to disintegrate.

The welcome message has not been changed to match the server designation, there are no role play servers or PVP servers anymore.

The patch notes still state that the content can change before 18th patch completion. So that means that the patch notes may or may not be the ones that are going to be implemented.

As you ascended to the ZAkuul throne, and that is your capital, that shoud be your base, the Odessen was only a staging area for the alliance building.

Odessen is old news now, the current planet of focus is Iocath.

However, in the current state of game, the crossfaction chat is not possoble apart from 'say', all custom channels are faction restricted.

The new treasure chest loot is based on RNG like everything else in the game currently.

None of the returned characters have any kind of story assosiated with them. Even if you get one of your class companions back i.e. Kaliyo, she will no longer get influence increses from SM FPs or H2s, only way to increse the rank is via companion gifts.

I am pretty convinced that EA's reputation of being worst company in the world for several years has done that already. What they are now accomplishing is dragging brilliant IP (Star Wars) into the crapper. Based on the decisions made by EAWare in the last few years for the game direction shows that pretty clearly. PS. Andryah is using standard SJW tactics of misinterprating critisism of EAWare to be critisism of someone going on parental leave. It is wholly EAWare's responsibility to ensure that normal operation is not halted by one person going on leave (of any kind).

And you believe them?

We should not take Eric's word as gospel, in truth he knows next to nothing about the drop rates, the only ones that do now are the developers that have coded the drop rates into the packs. Eric has been wrong about so many things in the past it makes mockery about his position in the community management.

My guess would be that certain classes will get nerf bat to the skull.

Eric is just a standard corporate drone, who is tasked to deliver the corporate narrative and nothing more (this includes his own opinion), if he steps out of that narrative he will be risking his job.

I do not do any planetary story missions anymore, the class story alone will bring you to 50+. The bonus planetary missions have been broken for years now, I do not think BW has the inclination nor manpower to fix them ever. If you need +XP do few H2 or a FP to pad your level.

That can't do class balance, their class balance developer is on maternity leave.

There are PvP devs?

/sarcasm on BWEA cannot do that, they cannot admit failure, it is the players that are wrong about everything all of the time. BWEA cannot do anything wrong ever. /sarcasm off They will double down on the current path of disaster, even if it means game shutting down. Green gear in command crates is garbage. (automatic recycle) Blue gear in command crates is garbage. (automatic recycle) Set bonus gear is only acceptable loot from the command grates, anything else is rubbish. Duplicates of the set gear are an insult, sincew the drop rate is miniscule to begin with The empty shells are rubbish, there are far too many variants of the shells to ever to be able to gather full set. (automatic recycle)

This is a US game, rest of the world does not matter at all. Besides there are only 2 servers which have healthy population, Harbringer (US) and Red Eclipse (EU), its only about 1000 players world wide that actively play this TorTanic now. I am suprised that they still keep the other servers running with no players.

From Twitter The Old Republic @SWTOR Shadowlands is once again available, thank you for your patience. 12:58am · 18 Mar 2017 · Twitter for iPhone

Yep, Shadowlands is down

I've had similar to a different area.dat, I maged to fix mine by running a repair from the launcher.

It does not matter how fast we can get the crates whether it is 1 per hour, 2 per hour or 10 per hour, it does not remove the RNG element from the gears received. The amount of disintgrated items is vast compared to useless items gotten from the crates. Empty shells from the crates is also useless garbage, if i need legacy bound i can hand is alliance crates. The Java junk is not usefull in 5.0 since the rank 10 crafting materials are not available from the Java vendors.

I think the customisable Vizla was a bug and has now been fixed to be same as the rest of the KOTFE/KOTET companions, just a skin no substance.

Also, it is a CHARACTER perk, not legacy perk. 3.5 million credits for legacy wide perk would be acceptable, for 8 characters (all classes) it is 28 million credits.

Any hairstyles that are bought from Cartelk Market are available for the account new and old characters (pending race restrictions).
