That's because BS is full of egotistical devs who would rather see a server and community die than admit they got it wrong. APAC players have always been treated like garbage and there's enough people left working on the game that KNOW THAT and still don't care enough to do the right thing by us in this latest iteration. All the fresh start snowflakes should never have been catered to over this regions playerbase, but hey BS is still....well...bs

Ashara's not much different, so why not?

Unlikely at this point. The resounding silence on the issue as presented across multiple threads speaks volumes. They just don't care beyond token efforts.

I said it in your other thread on promoting the server (which i wasn't trying to derail btw) it's a token effort with the bare minimum done to try and appease us. You've been around long enough to see how they regard us as a community (APAC players i mean) - nothing has changed communication wise even after Eric changing roles. They don't care about the time we've put into the game over the years hence no transfers and they don't actually care about a fresh economy, it was just an excuse for laziness because if they did, no boosts would have been enabled. Anyone that thinks a day 1 hour 1 (number of) boosting player(s) wont impact a new servers economy is either deluding themselves or just an idiot. As much as i agree with what you're saying and trying to accomplish, i have no belief that anything will eventuate because they don't give a crap about APAC beyond the bare minimum to try and paint themselves in a positive light and everything to date demonstrates that.

Flawed argument. If they genuinely wanted a fresh start, ALL boosts should have been disabled. Can't have a fresh economy when people can have 70/80's on day 1/hour 1 earning high level credit income instantly.

" It's a harmless thing that apac players shouldn't be triggered about " And this is where i lose any interest in conversing with you further. I've been following this game from beta and you're telling me i am probably fine with losing the time and effort i put into my legacy for an economy that's already trying to sell crap for millions+ credits 2 weeks in? Interesting - sounds more like because i'm an APAC player i'm supposed to just put up with the crap i'm fed and you're ok with that because it doesn't impact you.

Nope, hence why this thread exists :P More seriously though, i said "down the road they can say"

Probably a combination of things that can be spun in a positive light down the road (aka marketing) "we really do care! we even gave them a server back" Things like trying to foster a bit of goodwill with masochists like me that have (for the most part) stuck with the game over the years (it wont for me but hey i've been around a while and seen their true colours). Resources to sort a server now are probably a lot less than they used to be but i would bet that the first thing to go if they struggle again will be this APAC server. Related to this, their publisher probably has a good enough GAME support setup (not CS but actual techs to manage the game's operation) that they don't need to have the studio do that bit beyond facilitating the initial deployment and send them patches etc. There's probably plenty more going on behind the scenes that i can't see but to me based on my experience, this is little more than a marketing gimmick. But all of that can still be publicly spun as i said with "we really do care!" whilst trying to ignore everything that's already proven the opposite. As i stated above, to me this is reiterated by the very half assed way the server's been implemented and communicated; ie no regard for existing players time put into the game over the years and making people like me start all over, no trying to get the word out that there's an APAC server beyond a basic forum announcement and news post. The putting their time and energy into a contest over building and growing the APC community is just unbelievable really another day at the office.

^^^^ This. Broadsword's a studio that maintains older games/MMO's like UO (Ultima Online) and such. So doubtful there will be a ton of exciting new content. We'll see i guess.

Don't often post but felt the need to for this. It'll probably get me in trouble too - oh well. Shae Visla server is a token effort to make it look like they give a crap about APAC players when they don't. Eric always ignored APAC concerns when he was a community rep and each time we got shafted by closures, mergers etc we were ignored. Our gameplay experience HAS NEVER been a priority to the current studio. Then add to this the fact the devs/cm's are more interested in a View competition than promoting or campaigning people via gaming sites and email about the new server and it just reiterates their lack of regard for our community. Think about that...they'd rather focus on a contest than promote a new server that might bring (paying and playing) people into the game (returning or otherwise). Also, instead of giving us what other servers got (transfers) we get to be their guinea pigs and lose years of legacy and character progression. They just don't give a crap about our experience beyond a bare minimum and everything they've done over the years proves that, so why would this be any different?

This comment interested me enough to offer my own perspective on this. Of all the npc's most likely to stay with the Commander on returning to the Republic, Lana absolutely is the most likely to stick by him. Remember Lana spent years while the Commander was in carbonite trying to find and free him - at great personal expense to herself. She left her home, faction and any connections she had to find someone from the Republic (read mortal enemy) in the hopes of saving the galaxy from Zakuul and Arcann. I seriously doubt there would be anything left of Lana's life in the Empire left to go back to. She' probably be shunned at best /branded a traitor at worst if she tried to go home. She sends the Commander a letter at one point in the Zakuul portion of the game about sacrifice and her understanding how much the player's character has sacrificed and endured to make the alliance happen. I think though it's easy to overlook that without all the sacrifices and personal cost she's endured. She's willing to put everything aside (even potentially lose everything she knew) to work for what she thinks will help the galaxy survive Arcann's reign. Regardless of personal opinions on KotFE/TET people have and personal preferences on Lana, for me especially when i play a Jedi through those chapters, i see the Jedi/Lana combo as a great example putting aside personal differences - moral's, codes for the betterment of everyone. Sure there may be the odd joke or flippant comment from either of them, but there's respect and appreciation of the others capabilities regardless of how they came to acquire them. There's no Sith is better or Jedi are superior between them. Just tolerance and respect while they do the impossible that no one else is willing to try to do. So i totally get why Lana would be willing to stay with the Alliance. I'm not even a huge Lana fan. Her VA grates on my ears and her character art is atrocious, but from all my time playing, i think she's one of the more complex characters, so i put up with those two things and don't mind Lana tagging along out of any of the "forced" companions. I've just played through the entire story on a Jedi Knight (only made 3 darkside choices his entire story) and besides his "wife" Kira, based on everything that's happened there's no one in the galaxy he trusts or respects more than Lana because of everything she's done with and for him at the expense of herself than anyone. Abandoned by his order and faction in spite of everything he did for them - the only person who gave a damn enough to find him and help him was a Sith, to me that was interesting.

Yep i am having the same issue. It's ridiculous. I had to put my character on hold on Voss KOTET walker mission. Now i am stuck on Iokath because of the droids respawning and my walker being garbage.

Iziz sewers bugs out at find the maintenance entrance. Entering the area isn't triggering the progress until after the guards you need to kill die (which is the next step) and therefore makes next step impossible to complete.

Sounds like it's a bug. I'll not say which set, but if Musco cares he can drop me a PM and i'll let him know since probably best not to get myself in trouble by disclosing it publicly.

Yeah i could claim it on other characters. Even different faction on a new character.

Did they change something with CM unlocks in the collections window? I just used my monthly grant coins on a CM armor set and it seems to have been applied across multiple characters right away (without the old spend coins to make it account wide). Is this new or because of an event or somethng? I ussually try and keep up with the patch notes even though i don't play regularly, so surprised that this happened.

Anything for people who cannot summon Major Anri and are therefore locked out of the content? *edit to add: I have had a ticket in for days now that's not been acknowledged let alone answered.

I can't even play the content of this update because major Anri wont spawn and of course there's no fix for it in the notes and CS don't bother answering tickets.

yeah i can't play it either. The Major i am supposed to do ossus missions with wont appear and can't be summoned so i am SoL i guess. If you're wondering where it starts from, it's on your ship's mission terminal.

How do i even play it when the trooper companion Imp side after you arrive wont summon/spawn? Doesn't matter what i do to try and fix it on my end i just can't do the content. Thanks for nothing i guess, though you think i'd be used to it by now. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=957383 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=957252

Same for me

Same for me.

She wont even summon for me so i can't play it. Wanted to get through and get MY SW's Dark Jaessa back too. Anri's not in companions list so can't force summon her. Doesn't spawn when you ditch the mission and restart. Also tried restarting game. Utterly amazed after all these years bioware lets stuff like this through. Multiple users in the bug report forum with the problem too, so it's not just me. GG Bioware

The Astromech on NS that ran away from the creepy lady that's part of the(i believe) Republic Bonus series. Little guy had it rough.

Beat you Luna (but i am too lazy to screencap) Edit to add: I was in Hour 1 of Day 1 early access as well.
