Yes, it is bugged. Logged in today to finish chapter 16 and then begin KotET - I guess my 3 days early access are now one complete waste, given they will NOT fix this within those 3 days.... I am...miffed...VERY...miffed. (understatements used)

Hey, Done Arcann before on another character, now after 5.0 early access, I only needed to do that last chapter in KotFE. So, on to the ship...yadda yadda yadda: Fight Arcann. Pick up the shield, whack him a few times with it. He jumps back to the stairs, and starts shooting lightning. All well and good.... except for one thing: I am UNABLE to move towards him. Shield up or down makes no difference, I am stuck in place for good. I can stand there, drop the shield and heal myself, or keep it up and die. This is one messed up fight now...and I am unable to progress, so I guess no KotET, because I wanted to finish KotFE on this character first. Anyone had the same problem? Stuck in place, unable to move towards Arcann even with the shield up.

Kept deleting the failed characters. The token for the level 60 character is returned, then I began all over. Seems it finally worked.... after a couple of client crashes it suddenly sparked into life.

FINALLY! It finally succeeded, after 8 tries, 2 client crashes.... Hope everyone else gets it figured out.

Yup, deleting bugged character gives you the token back. Tried 5 times now, and every time the same: Level 1.

It was a Rep side character I created... So seems random when the bug strikes??

Created a level 60.... and what happened? It ended up being a level 1, on Fleet. No fun, no reason to continue subbing. This is the one gamekiller bug for me, that prevents me from getting back into the game. Been subbed and all rewards are there, no qualms, create the level 60 and I find myself as a level 1 on fleet? This is one bug that simply is bugging the hell out of me. Ended up shutting down the game I got so annoyed. Bioware, you need to fix this and get us a new token or fix the characters.... Wanted to spend my early access on a fresh 60, and I end up having to go play something else, because it's bugged.

Click, click, click, skip intro movie. Spawn on Fleet, character is level 1. This is terrible.... I submitted a ticket in-game as well, but will repost my questons here: Should I keep the bugged level 1 character? Should I erase the bugged character in preparation for a reroll? Will you guys hand out a token for free as solution once this problem is fixed? Basically it's been a "download the patch, log in, get busted" experience. This is not a happy way to begin playing the game again. I've kept my sub current, and all the other in-game rewards are there, only this 60 character is a total shambles it seems.

Best thing here: You can see the Goldsellers all assembled in one place.... The issue for me is one raised by many: If they use the illegal credits to purchase legitimate items off GTN, will the sellers there see their credits vanish? They did nothing wrong, nor have they had any intention of it, so they ought not to get any fallout from this exploit. But the morons who are using the exploit? - Lifetime ban the lot of them. They deserve nothing less.

The droids work as stated, but no, sadly no Architect Packs... I hope as well they will arrive soon!!!

Bioware, this needs fixing, as of yesterday! Seriously, the game is defective, and common decency would be a grace period. I paid a heap for the CE, and I am already annoyed that this issue has not been responded to in any way besides the "we will monitor" post. - That is simply not good enough. The game has cost a fortune to make, the advertisments another fortune. So you decided the one place to save money was on the hardware you use to run the game??? If this problem persists, then TOR is dead within 12 months... Nobody in their right mind will pay a subscription fee to sit in a queue. I know I won't - If the problem is not fixed by January 19th, my money goes elsewhere.
