CSR in game replied telling me that it is a bug. That they will be fixing it at some point in a future update. A canned response which potentially means they'll get to it at some point. Meanwhile, I lose out on 900 tech fragments. Until they fix this issue, no conquest for me unless it involves the legendary implants. No need to continue doing conquest when there's a strong possibility one will not receive their guild conquest rewards. I wonder what other hidden bugs are in the game we've not encountered yet.

The current crop of developers decided that too many players obtain 306 gear for the liking and decided that only those who do Nightmare raids can obtain it. So, they gated the modable gear behind that. Furthermore, it's all green gear for everyone unless you do the following: Story Mode Ops / FPs(?) green gear. Veteran Mode Ops / FPs(?) blue gear Master Mode Ops / FPs(?) purple gear. Mind you that this is nothing but static gear. They tell us the this gear is "good enough" for all who do not participate in NiM ops. And you are correct, this is the worst decision they've made concerning modable gear. They tried to do that with 6.0 but back tracked it because of the outrage. They're doing it this way to SLOW US DOWN so we play more. They forget players on stay playing any MMO that continually provides new content. SWTOR developers only give us true new content (if you can call it that) 2 to 3 years. This is their history since SoR. Right now, they are hemorrhaging subscribers. If they don't wise up, their long term financial income will quickly dry up to the point they cannot operate. Cartel Market is short-term influx of income. Subscriptions is the strength of long-term income. Anyway, welcome back...for however you decide to stay or not. Hopefully you can enjoy some aspects of the game.

Update: SWTOR CSR informed me this was indeed a bug. They "promise" to fix it in a future game update. I very much doubt I'll be reimbursed the 900 tech fragments I lost because of this bug...

Balderdash. I was there when it launched. It was my very first MMO. When the doors shut down, I was the on Freedom when the lights went off. The game at the beginning to the end was solo friendly as it was encouraging to do trials and other things for group. This became even more apparent when Paragon Studios took over.

I submitted 3 tickets on each character that did not receive the rewards. Likewise, after logging into my main on Imp side, I logged into the 3 pubs that didn't get any after that. I logged into the last Pub character and received the rewards. Then hit all my Imp characters and they all received theirs. I hope CS tells me something positive and not like the last time dealing with the Combat Stance. "Nothing we can do for you."

No, I don't believe so. I think he just outed himself as a narcissist. :D :D

Fixed that correct number of characters I took through Conquest. 4 Pub side. Of the 4, only 1, that's one, received the guild rewards. The Guild logs clearly show that all 4 characters completed their personal conquest goal. Shows the guild completed its conquest goals. This really upset me to the point I didn't even bother playing SWTOR today because I didn't have any incentive to try. You couple that with the Combat Style bug that took my primary style away from my 10 Immortal Jugg...this last week has driven the winds out of my sails for the game. When I logged in on all of them, only one received their conquest rewards. I did not have any issue with any of my Imperial characters (5). It took me until Sunday afternoon to get that many characters completed playing just 3 hours a day because I become completely exhausted thanks to the effects of Omicron.

Here you go, let me spell it out for you to comprehend. 6.0: Conquest System allowed for me to push through 24 characters of 42 I had at the time. I now have 22 characters now that I started pruning because of the coming of 7.0. 7.0: Barely allows players get 4 to 5 for each faction. And now, now that they have a new bug that does not give characters guild conquest rewards, I have given up dealing with conquest from this point on. With the exception of 4 characters I have in another guild. My 2 guilds I will only do what I must for those characters to get my legendary implants. Conquest is now dead to me for my guilds. Is this clear, concise, and unambiguous enough for you to comprehend? My time, since I contracted Omicron has been spent recovering. 7.0 surely made doing anything even harder with my ability to play 3 hours a day and I was done. This has been going on now for more than 6 weeks. But that's just an excuse to you and you don't care whether someone like me or others survive. Your way is the only way. Your opinion is the only opinion. That is the impression I have from you. That's all the time and will I have with engaging the likes of you.

First, your dead wrong. Second, you have no clue what it like to use internet from the Philippines. Third, since you do not use nor ever have used what I'm using at this very moment to make such a decree as you did above. ISPs can only control their own network and to which point they direct their network to the backbone. Here in the Philippines this incompetent "engineers" change my Gateway two to three times a week placing my location 138 miles to 600 miles from my actual location. Why? Because they are clueless idiots having no clue how to have stabilized routing without changing it daily to some other connection point because some 20 year old inexperienced "know it all" engineer decides to redirect traffic. Right now, Speedtest app shows my current location as Cebu City. That's 236 miles from my current location. I've seen Makati City (600 miles) and Manila (600 miles) listed as my location...zero miles from the server. This is what I have to deal with. WTFast remedies those issue caused by this insane routing and gateway set up. Playing from here has everything to do with what is going for me. WTFast fixes those issues that my ISP lacks in knowledge and ability by directing me to their servers then to the game server. I don't care if the US has issues. I know what I have and how it works. If it wasn't for WTFast and how they overcome the issues I experience here in the Philippines, I'd not be able to play anything in the US except for WoWS. Yet you deign to suggest otherwise? Here in the Philippines, until they put the infrastructure in for Fiber, used 1st and 2nd generation cabinets, servers, and other associated equipment. All of it outdated by a decade or two all to maximize their profits delivering substandard mediocre service for their bottom line. This is what they train the college students on to be "engineers." Technicians only spend 2 years and cannot and aren't allowed to touch the equipment. I know this for fact as I taught at a reputable technology school here as a professor of business and intrinsically involved in helping them update their own systems to better facilitate the students learning experience. Now tell me again that it matters not playing from a 3rd world country. My experience in the field and living here trumps your "knowledge" nothing you say will supersede this.

For both my guilds, I completed personal conquest goals and guild conquest goals. However, for the 4 Pub characters, only one received the award, the other 3 did not. The logs stated each had completed personal goals. However, on the Imperial side, all 6 that I completed the person goals, 3 in a different guild and 3 in my guild, received their personal conquest goals and most assuredly the guild goal. All are listed in the guild logs. This is a new bug feature of the game? Will I be reimbursed that which I earned or will I be told, suck it up cupcake? This keeps getting better and better. What's next? Half of my characters are mysteriously deleted by another yet unknown/discovered bug? I reported it in-game; however, I not expecting CS to fix it and tell me there's nothing they can do for me. At this point, I'm not bothering with conquest. Thanks BW for such a mess. It doesn't pay to slog through this anymore.

No link to said statement Jackie listing those bugs schedule for resolving for this PTS soon coming update.

An update on this. I was able to change out my boots for the other DPS commando spec that had crit in it. It was a minor improvement; however, since I'm using the Tactical "Lucky" now it clears that issue for me. I have my crit up to 137% using it. I was able to use 8 level 286 purpose ACC augments and bump me ACC to 110.32%. I used 6 same level CRIT augs that raised my CRIT from 32% to 36 (there about). The combination with the lucky tactical and my ACC make a difference now. I wish I could drop all the alacrity so that I'm able to reach 42% CRIT without having to use the Lucky tactical. But you go with what you have.

Try tell yourself living in a 2nd or 3rd world country.

Who says? You? We were playing OUR way IAW with BioWare's original decree. Now, they've made it so doing so is next to impossible to play our way. The old system was alt friendly. Now it is not. I do not have the time of day to spend 10 fracking hours grinding through 24 alts to get conquests done. I was able to do that before this abomination was forced down our throats. I'm lucky to get 4 done for Imp and Pub. This doesn't take into account that they've locked everything (save that is marked by the infinity symbol) behind the Legacy. Something BW is fabulously famous for gating those things they want to deny us using more than once. This last for 24 hours. Again, I don't have the time nor the will to sit in my TTRacing gaming chair to grind my old arse out for this new system. They have literally hurt the entire player base to "KEEP US PLAYING!" as it some new way to keep player doing just that. WRONG. The only way to keep players play is releasing new content every quarter as the other premier AAA MMO/MMORPGs do. BW releases NEW content on a 2 to 3 year schedule or releases a large one in the same manner expecting players to believe they are releasing new content when they break up the large expac into smaller updates. This way they do not have to create new content that can be associated with the original. You don't claim 7.0 as an expac and parse it out in micro updates using 7.1, 7.2, or other second digits. Players aren't stupid as some may believe. Do you think ESO, GW2, or FFXIV use a similar system as BW uses? No they do not. They release new content, not like this fallacy and a lie BW thrusts on us claiming as so. You can defend whatever you want, that's your choice. However, it doesn't mean you have the right to demean and degrade our opinion, no one does. Opinions are...well you know the saying. I'm proud of my opinion as others are. You and others do not have the right hammering us as if your some kind of Champion for truth and justice towing the line for the game. And in truth I play how I want and not by any directive from you or those who laid this piece of trash 7.0 on us. If you cannot accept that is how I and those who have expressing themselves about it, then I recommend you stop interacting with those who do. It's just that simple.

Since I moved to the Philippines to live with my wife, I have used WTFast for nearly 10 years. People say it's a scam. Right, then explain why when I connect to the east coast servers via LA 14 WTFast Server, where I have a 200 to 212 ping with no spikes, jitters, or lost packets? If I do get them its because my ISP (Globe Telecom) screws up their own network. However, when I do connect to SWTOR without it, I have a 300 to 325ms ping. This is what it does for me and why I use it. Otherwise, I'd not be playing any of the games in the US because the ping/latency is gawd awful. The only game I can play without it if I had to WoWS where the server is in San Jose, CA. My ping to it is 100 to 110 avg. Acceptable ping/latency for a PvP game. Anything else degrades game play. I swear by WTfast and will continue to use it. ISP cannot influence or change routing between their servers and the end server destination. They can only reroute to the closes serve next inline. It's a fallacy to believe they can control routing past that. WTFast has it's own network of servers that you can select 1 or 2 (first connection and closes to the final destination). This allows to get the best connection. If that doesn't work well for you, you can do what I do, choose the first server and let WTFast chose the last one. This way if there are any problems, they can instantly change the final server without causing any interruption of server while playing a game. Playing with the WTFast has improved my game play immeasurably to which I swear by it.

They are. In your collection you only have to unlock them legacy wide using cartel coins. However, this is one point I hate. It's how the nickle and dime us to death for the almighty dollar.

Yeah they have similarities but its a totally different game in all aspects. YoshiP played WoW was inspired by certain things of it. However, when he took over FFXIV, he said, this is what I want to do and we shall improve on it drastically where others failed too do. Others he is inferring WOW. Having played from ARR 2.0 to Endwalker 6.0, I can diffidently say that system is a benchmark for all others to study and learn from. This coming from someone who's played everything from SWTOR, Neverwinter 2, Blade & Soul, GW2, ESO, Path of Exiles, DDO, and others leading me to FFXIV. None of them can hold a candle to that game. It's my opinion based on experience having played all of those mentioned.

Be that as it may, it still looks like some welfare weapon pulled from a trash heap and recycled. I hate it with a passion.

I agree. Thus the reason I posted this with comparison pictures to hopefully shame these people for screwing a very important part of the game. Just because they think they had the best way of doing things 'new' since sliced cake. Matter of fact, I'm so ill (physically ill) and greatly disappointed with what they've done to destroy the look and feel of the game, especially with our weapons.

So, this is what I got to replaced my Primordial Assault Cannon Grek, a reskinned rusted looking piece of junk someone pulled from a scrap pile? Do you know it cost me 84 dollars to obtain this weapon when it original showed up in a cartel pack? It took 2 attempts to get it. Yes, I spent my money for something I wanted and I got it. This new static non-modable weapons you give us just nullified the money I spent all because you all wanted to change gearing in such a manner that players would suffer your mindless changes. Do you really think this is a good deal for everyone playing the game? You just caused your own Cartel Market to tank by nullifying CM weapons and armor. All because you do not want us to have modable gear. You promised us a weapons outfitter. Yet you cannot get it to work. You stated it would be out 7.1 or there about. Yet we hear nothing. It could be 3 to 6 months based solely on how your developers and personnel operate. One only has to go back and view BW's past changes and bug fixes to see what I say is true. And now, I must use this piece of cheap looking junior graphic artist reskin weapon over one of the best looking and effective weapons for a commando. Do I get a refund for nullifying my purchase? No, I won't. I just have to grin and bare it. Right? Continue playing like nothing ever happened? Right? Enjoy the NEW SW:TOR World Order, right? Thanks a lot y'all for ruining this aspect of the game for me. I don't speak for no one but myself. If I were the lead producer and saw this KNOWING what CM and in-game weapons look like, I'd fired the individual responsible for this and their supervisor. A whole slue of weapons to choose from, especially older CM weapons, and you give us this piece of scat. Great job. Pardon me for not believing you're going to fix anything to hide this and all the other disgusting pieces of crap you call, "New Improved Great Upgraded Weapons for All!" It will be this summer or by Christmas if we're lucky.

So, that's all you got, resulting to insulting me, my education, my experience, and accusing me of making things up? Next you'll call me a Boomer. That's okay, you're arguing a point now that you cannot conceivably understand let alone defend. BTW, these forums are open to the public. You can see them without being a subscriber or even logged on. Where does that fit in your narrative? It's not private when it can be viewed by everyone including those who don't have an account. Anyways, you're not adding any thing of value so, I'll leave you with the last word.

I see we're not going to agree here on this. Accuracy is vital in boss fights, which I pointed out. A boss has a -10% value. If you're at 100%, you'll not be at 90%. All things being equal, you're more than like going to miss with a major alpha strike. This isn't some religious experience, we're talking actual mechanic that a boss has that will cause you to miss, not some random NPC groups. This was established back when this game went live. Are you proposing that the min/max guidelines for accuracy are wrong and not needed? What does this have to do with trading to alts? They're going to experience the exact same thing. Furthermore, that diagram is wrong. I acquired from the vendor for 320 gear, 3 pieces that has alacrity. This is an issue. Because my Mercenary can heal, I HAVE to take alacrity? No, I don't use Alacrity on any DPS including those capable of healing. If they primarily healed, I'd incorporate alacrity. As it stands now the devs have decreed that I have to take it with this static gear. I noticed you didn't address critical either. Does it not fit in your view as you've placed accuracy? Both are nerfed by this static gear. Thus, I offered a way to allow players to choose what they want. In my case, I'd drop all alacrity gear for critical and accuracy so I can obtain that which is needed to perform against a boss, be it in FP, Uprising, or an Op. And you would speak out against that? We are denied modable gear because we who do not do NiM ops are told, "we only need 320 to 326 GREEN gear and to suck it up." Therefore, I and all the others who do not participate are being discriminated against because we do not do MM (Purple gear) or NiM ops. And trading gear in does not change the base stats to reach that level that is required to perform against bosses and elites in FPs, uprisings, and Ops. I will play the way I want and do what I can to obtain those stats, even if I have to put my 306 gear that will give me Acc & Crit needed. You can accept that or not. But don't presume you can tell me that after 10 years of playing this game that Accuracy isn't really required to reach a level because you always hit! Because that in of itself is wrong. You'd know this if you fight against Bosses in FP, Uprisings, or Ops. Thus, I recommended to BioWare to make gear available with Acc & Crit, will allow my merc to reach these stats. Otherwise, I'm running around with 35% crit and 105% acc. <sarcasm> Oh yeah, I'm going to be burning down the Bosses with impunity </sarcasm>

So, you've not read the CPA then. Read it, pay specific attention to #3 and #4. Then tell me again the CPA has no place here. Never mind, I'll save you the time. And here's the link so you cannot accuse me of making this up. CPA

A well thought out and presented post. Thank you. And you're spot on...I'm retired now...I do not want another job playing the game.

To Whom It May Concern: Static gear, as it is in this game, is awful. I know, I have it on 2 characters, one being a tank (which is okay, no issues), the other is my Mercenary. Now that...is just awful. Why? I cannot reach accuracy of 110% or Critical of 42% even with 286 augments. I could do or get close to it by removing all of accuracy ear and implants in favor for critical, vice versa for accuracy. The math was not properly calculated for reaching these minimum standards for combat in the game. These numbers will cause a lot of issues fighting bosses for those ATs requiring these levels of ACC and Crit in FPs, Uprisings, and Operations for all modes. What really hurts is the forcing on us the use of Alacrity on 3 pieces of gear where Critical or Accuracy could be. This is wrong. We should have the choice to use what is necessary to ensure we don't have the Acc and Crit issues that are present now since we are not allowed to have modable gear unless we participate in NiM operations. Modable gear for those that do NiM and static gear for those who don't. However, I have a strong recommendation to fix this. We know you want us to have the current gear. I understand it. You're not going to change from that. I concede the point. However, you can do the following so that WE can at least work around this issue. It is very simple and should be easy to implement. That is providing gear for us to chose from the vendor that have Acc or Crit instead of Alacrity. That means a minimum of 3 pieces to add these new gears. Heck, if you want too, add in 2 more versions of each piece with the appropriate stat if alacrity is not the tertiary state. Example: Accuracy or Alacrity, Critical or Alacrity. You already have 3 different ear, implants, and relics. Gear should be the same way. Same thing for main and offhand. This way, we can at least attempt to "min/max" the base gear and use the augments to complete the process that will get us to those set values. Right now, it's not possible. And this hurts player combat abilities. Please consider this option to improve our experience and enjoyment. Right now, it's doing the opposite.
