Great, so Leaping Strike for guardians is not the only broken animation ability with this patch.

I have done this fight three times after 7.0 dropped and the first two times she gave me no issues. On the third character, I finally ran into this issue everyone has been talking about. The first two attempts where with melee characters with gap closers. The third was with a ranged smuggler. It seems when she splits into multiple versions of herself is when her overtuned damage comes into play and I started having issues. It helped to quickly try to close the gap an attack her to stop her having duplicate versions of herself as quickly as possible. The smuggler was able to attack quickly but still took lots of damage. However I still died eventually, It seems the only reason I beat her at all with the melee characters was that she had glitched in place and never did the duplicate thing. It took a few tries with the smuggler but she eventually did the same getting stuck in place attacking my companion glitch and I beat her that way. Maybe now with the fixed companions it might be better. Hopefully they do fix it like the purifier droids the just fixed instead of having to wait for a glitch to trigger to get past their own bug. It seems they also tuned the Spirit of Vengance flashpoint by reducing enemy health. I remember also dying a bit there recently when too many mobs surrounded me sometimes and I had to resort to kiting them at points. If they did not fix this Gemini fight, this makes me think the also did not fix the issue on the Imp side during Onslaught with Malgus in the Ossus library that also caused me problems a month ago. This is a similarly overtuned encounter. That at least if you die the mobs you kill stay dead and you can progress by just dying and slowly advancing through the quest and once you get the bosses you have to kill by themselves they are no problems. Also in that issue stealthing past the mobs you don't need to kill helps, but you still have to kill a few boss characters that are in groups that will melt you and your companion.

I can confirm that this is happening. This is the first thing wrong I noticed after logging in and doing some quests today. I first thought it was doing damage but just skipping the animation, but after reading this post, maybe that was just another attack doing DOT damage. I have to test further and see it it doing damage on its own. If it is not, this bug is worse than I thought. It would be more than just an annoyance, but an actual unintentional Nerf to damage. The mirror class Juggernaut is not affected by this during my testing. Is it now going to be several more weeks for another patch now?

No, they are gone. I have been waiting to see If some would notice this. I think a core problem is the tuning of some of the content like this. Makeb was a chore at launch. I came back to swtor in late September this year and noticed the gsf terminals on Makeb were added when Revan came out which I was not around for. Seemed like a lazy way to fix the grind Makeb was. I think now the mobs are still at their original strength. Just less of them. I remember reading that 1-50 mobs were nerfed around the time Revan came out but Makeb was excluded from this. Maybe the real fix for balance is to retune Makeb to fit in line with the 1-50 content and Rishi, Yavin, and Kotfe which are much easier than Makeb ever was. Then they can evaluate if the Heroic 2 and star fortresses need to be tuned down a bit to compensate for the weakened companions and still be challenging.

Did lose some progress. I had just gotten an achievement for 1000 kills with Vette. Now its back to 964. But i spawned near where I was when server crashed.

Yeah. Im in now too.

Status just changed to up. Someone in another forum just said they also able to log in.

Status just changed to up. lets see if we can actually log in.

They will be. They are stored there and when you log back into that server all your characters and legacy will be there.

Finally a real response.

Guess people in that thread fell for it. They just confirmed its fake. Its sad then that customer service itself has not responded then.

This was just posted in general forums. Edit to fix quote and where it was posted.
