The Special Forces armor that you all gave out for free that is suppose to look like the special forces armor from Battlefront 2.... ... ... Well, it looks like crap. It's thrown together from pieces of at least 6 different pre-existing sets and looks more like a cheap knockoff imitation that the special forces armor from Battlefront 2 Like it would be sold in a pack with Lucas Skyjumper, Princess Lisa, Hook Uno...

Delete your Bitraider folder. Star Wars- The Old Republic > Bitraider

You ever hear of context?

The last two days I have had trouble with the game locking up. I log in and get all the way to character select but when I click on anything on the character select window, intractable or not, the game locks up and I get a windows message saying it has stopped working Yesterday I was able to log in after a couple of attempts and deleting my bitraider folder however this time it does not seem to be working. http://imgur.com/a/L61SJ I will attempt to get my DxDiag posted as well but it is close to 100k characters and there is a 50k limit on these posts.

Actually, they addressed the PvP hacks in a twitch stream not long ago. As has been the case with every expansion they don't drop everything right away, there's always a few more good sized chunks that come after the initial release of an expansion.

Yeah, it's never that easy.

I want to clear up a few things that seem like misconceptions that I have spotted a few times so far. First off, I'm not new to GSF. I didn't want to add my personal experience to this thread because it always seems that threads that do either come across as whining or bragging. ("Oh I can top score with a stock fighter because I've got thousands of matches under my belt. GitGud, L2P, scrub noobs! Ban whiners Bioware" or "People keep blowing me up and won't let me play, nerf and ban them Bioware!" for extream examples) When it first came out I was playing several matches a day and was becoming the person that the members of my guild would ask for tips and advice on playing until my health went to pot and I stopped playing because of it. It has only been recently, maybe 6 months, that I have been well enough to try playing GSF again. Second gear does matter because it is indicative to experience with both GSF in general and a particular fighter specifically. If you have a maxed out fighter or more, it means you have played possibly hundreds of matches getting the requisition needed to do so. That means you are familiar with the mechanics of the game and what you need to do to be competitive in a match. Someone who has never played, or has not played in a long period of time is not going to be able to match that kind of up to date experience and wind up being killed quickly and repetitively. Third, it seems that because you know that there are guides out there that everyone knows that there are guides out there or, more importantly, where to find them. On top of that when I looked at the channel that has these videos I saw that there were a *LOT* of videos to watch. Say what you will but a lot of people are not going to want to watch what seems like hours and hours of video in order to play a game. Watching someone play an MMO is one of the most boring things in the world. Don't get me wrong, it is great that the community has done this however it kinda misses the point of my thread. This is stuff that BIOWARE could do, not the community, to help with GSF

First off, let me say that I am aware that NOTHING I suggest here is going to be easy to do, in fact I would not be surprised if the current GSF system would need to be scrapped and something new built in its place in order to do anything I suggest here. I have also divided things up into sections in hopes that I keep things concise and people can follow along easier. There are three problems I see coming up over and over again on the forums and in chat Steep learning curve Vet players steamrolling less experienced players Matchmaking, or lack thereof While the ideas I have worked out are not perfect, they may help address a good part of these three issues, with that my initial ideas are as follows: Three Tier System - PvP More than just the unranked and ranked leagues in regular pvp these match types will help strain out players into pools that will help encourage them to play more often because they should be able to get enough play in to actually learn how to play. -Bush League This would be like a live fire tutorial system, matches would be limited to 4v4 and restricted to scout and strike fighters that have had less than a certain amount of requisition earned on them. This tier would likely need its own maps designed that are smaller and less cluttered so that players don’t get lost and mission goals that keep matches from turning into hide and go seek games. By making the limit an amount of Requisition earned on a fighter you limit the window that someone could sit back and grief newer, less experienced players. Sure, they could keep rolling up more and more alts but after a while they will run out of character slots or get to a point where rerolling character after character just isn’t worth it to harass people that will eventually move on. -Rookie League For unranked the programing is probably going to be hairpulling for the Devs. Fighters in Unranked would need to have their components capped, likely at the rank just below the rank where you have two options you can choose between. It would be enough for people to get a decent taste of what each component can do while also encouraging them to try out other components without feeling like they are going to be utterly destroyed while they upgrade them and learn what they can do. Limiting the match sizes to 8v8 might be a good idea as well as not allowing ops groups from queuing up to steamroll matches. By capping component upgrade levels on fighters it would level the playing field a bit and if need be you and nerf the lower ranked upgrades and compensate by buffing the higher ranked upgrades so that a fully upgraded fighter would still be as powerful as it currently is. There should be no minimum level for entering this level. -Ace League This is probably going to be a pain to program as well, but ships entering Ranked should have most, if not all, of their components ranked up to just before they start giving you two options at each rank that you have to choose between. All ships would be allowed in Ranked and match sizes can be of any size. This is it, the tier in which everyone should know what they are doing. High skilled players fighting high skilled players with potent fighters. Once they have a fighter fully upgraded they can use fleet requisition to bump another fighter in the same class up to being able to compete in this league.

I have a few items on my Dark Vs Light event characters that received loot boxes from the event, however these items, despite being bound, have not been added to my collection. I had thought that the items from this event were going to count towards our collection, or am I remembering wrong?

So... Does this mean I can't have your stuff?

I've been attempting to log into SWToR and after I enter my log in information, I get an error message "This application has encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again."

Unless you want to use purple or better gear, which means you need to buy an artifact equipment unlock. If you want to get the good loot from Flash Points more than 3 times you need to buy a weekly pass If you want to do operations at all you need to buy an Operations weekly pass. Want more than your 250k credit limit? That's an escrow unlock. Want to PvP? That's another pass you will need to buy. Want the colors of your outfit to match? Color unification unlock purchas. Additional inventory slots, cargo hold slots, pony up more cartel coins.

You forget, or perhaps didn't know, that EA cheaped out and uses a third party to handle traffic between you and the game servers, they have had trouble with it before. There may actually be nothing wrong on their end.

its not just you there are threads popping up in several locations about DCs

That can happen if the game loses track of where you are, such as logging out in a stronghold that you dont have a key to.

Time Warner here....

Looks like the login server is down now

You think that's bad? I went to add an item to my collection and saw that I have -9,223,372,036,854,775 cartel coins. That's NEGATIVE 9 quintillion, 223 trillion, 372 billion, 036 million, 854 thousand, 775......
