  1. THANK YOU for posting that link! I could not find a cancel option anywhere. Part of me wonders if they removed it prior to the latest "expansion" in anticipation of a mass exodus lol. Anyway, I just canceled my sub. Might come back if the game ever comes to its senses again and is actually enjoyable. Good luck, all.
  2. I have to concur that ignoring the cap simply isn't possible. Believe me, I wish it were. They can't address this cluster**** soon enough IMO. Heck, the weekly reset was *this morning* and I'm already pushing the cap on all of those currencies, yet don't have enough of all of them on hand to actually do anything helpful for my characters.
  3. I've now gotten the majority of my capped characters through the flashpoint with no breaking errors. There are some very irritating things (like companion auto-dying on the mountain ascent, and the far too dense concentrations of silvers and golds in the trash groups) but I've been able to complete it. Even the big old Malgus fight is fairly easy, in solo story mode at least. The trick is to not spend your time chasing him; park with your back up against the pillars and let him come to you, stay out of the angry red AOE, and chip away at him. Oh,and if Tau / Rivix / whoever suicides on that final climb, easiest thing to do is dismiss them and re-summon. If your experience is different, feel free to post about it (the dev team needs to know this stuff if it's ever going to truly be fixed).
  4. None of those are bad ideas at all, and would be fairly simple to implement.
  5. I really hope this is true but remain skeptical. I would LOVE to stop feeling forced into running GSF constantly, because I'm a fan of neither flight simulation stuff nor PVP in general. If I could get implants running content I enjoy doing it would make a huge difference. But I personally think even the raised cap is too low. With 17 fairly active characters, most of whom are at level 80, those medals add up super fast just from conquest. Then there are the many, many missions that award them and the frequent random drops of them from mobs. And let me guess, these improvements are coming 'soon', as in some unspecified later date. Still, I have some reason to hope.
  6. Yeah I ran into that fun issue right after the patch dropped. I feel your pain. I was able to go buy some of that useless 320 gear at least. If you don't have any level 80s at all you're pretty much screwed. They shouldn't award those to people who can't spend them.
  7. If you have nothing to spend the MoC on it means all of your characters are fully geared, which is highly unlikely. I doubt the person who said that is in that position. Ran into a brand new cap problem today; I keep nudging up against the tech fragments cap (THAT still needs to go *way* up too) so I figured I'd get a legendary implant for one of my characters I don't play so often.(The ones I do all have both, just not at the highest level. I prioritize those with none over upgrades.) Only I didn't have enough medals of commendation, so I went to grind out content to earn some and I finally realized why it wasn't working. The general cap of 999 MoC is brutally low, but with 200 each being awarded for conquest I figured I'm hitting the stupid weekly cap in just a couple days' time too! 999 is too low for that. Make the overall cap increase by a factor of ten, I suggest, and the weekly should be double or triple what it is. I'm never going to get *any* of my characters decently geared at this hobbled rate. And I used to not mind getting legendary embers with tech fragments, but when it's that versus nothing and you're kinda forced into it, it feels so unfair. Devs, I hope at least some of you are paying attention. This is only adding to my increasing frustration with this supposed 'expansion'.
  8. Just adding my name to the growing list of people who want the MoC cap GREATLY increased or just gone. I also miss renown, when not only could any player get BIS gear without playing any particular way (remember "Play Your Way?" Good times.), but *customizing* your gear was both possible and simple. Mod-friendly end game gear? Miss the hell out of that. But for now I'll settle for fixing this Medals of Commendation debacle.
  9. I'm happy (or more accurately, relieved) to report that I got through this hot mess in story mode, *finally*. I was initially going to try it on my strongest character, my assassin, after hearing the devs had messed around to potentially fix it, but I decided to try it with a ranged DPS character instead, so that I wouldn't get bogged down with tanking or healing strategy. My Innovative Ordinance Mercenary seemed right (it was him or my gunslinger) so I ran him through the dual mission, complete with awesome Lana and creepy AF Rivix, who I had healing me. No problems for a change! Even the Malgy fight was a piece of cake; I just kept my back against a pillar, only attacked him when he was in range, and only had to move to an adjacent pillar once to avoid his nasty red AOE. So yeah It can be done, though I'm anything but enthusiastic about repeating this epic slog on other characters. The ending, though, was a total letdown -- don't worry, no spoilers will issue from my keyboard-- and the trash mobs remain far too numerous and tough, or decidedly non-trashy. Anyway, I assure you all that it's improved and is no longer impossible. If I could do it,I'm sure anybody can. Best of luck to all. I'll remain subscribed to this thread in case there's anyone I can help troubleshoot problems.
  10. That, at least, I can help you with. You need to reset your phases. Right click on your portrait, select 'other' and select Reset Phases or reset Local Phases whichever it says. Then you should be good to go for flashpoints, ops, general story phases etc. You don't need to reset that FP as it does that on its own. I hopped out of it on my scoundrel after my first disastrous attempt to look up some tips, and when I tried to jump back in (I hadn't done anything in between, just went afk a bit) it started right back at the beginning. And as much as I'd like to abandon, or even drop kick, this mission, it's considered vital and can't be dropped. Would that it could! As to the 'it's only on Faction X' theory, i can verify that at least for me there has not been a single faction OR build I've been able to get through the Malgy fight. That includes painstaking experimentation with my placement, the combat role of companion, etc. It's just shameful. I may have said it before but if this crud isn't fixed by the time my subscription is up, it's (sadly) bye bye to my favorite MMORPG.
  11. Well, I am ranged (scoundrel) and I gave up after something like twenty 'fall damage" deaths. I tried going back in this morning without resetting the phase, hoping it'd take me right to the boss fight, but just my luck, ti restarted the whole ***** thing. NO FREAKIN' WAY, I spent so many credits yesterday repairing. Not worth it. And I'm also one for whom the 'workaround' only sped up my imminent demise. With an important part of the story impossible to finish, essentially no decent reward for all that work, disappointing story, the (in my opinion) hellish dystopia they call 'combat styles', the huge nerfs (in the worst way) to classes and knowing that the only way I can get decent gear is to do MM operations, I'm just not feeling the love for this big ol' mess. I know It's just me but if this stuff is no better by the time my subscription is up, I'll take my money elsewhere, and I know for a fact I'm not the only one. Good luck folks, and if it magically gets fixed, post it, please. I hate leaving it undone but it was that or lose my sanity over it, lol.
  12. I am going to attempt to post a url to that other Elom FP thread, not sure it if'll work because when I try to go back to it myself I get the maintenance screen. https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=1001429 There, I believe that's the one. It's still growing too.
  13. This isn't even close to the first thread I've seen about this. Yesterday there was one over eight pages in length, and no fix in sight. The devs were just seemingly ignoring it at first but one of them did pop in on that thread with a 'we're working on it' message. They also suggested that fighting Malgy happen on the edges of the platform because that *might* keep the glitch from happening. No ETA on a fix. I am 99% disappointed with every change they made myself. I can't afford to keep running a FP that's impossible to finish. The one change I do like in 7.0? The loading music is back to its original glory! Cause that Onslught loading music was so lame! Anyway, I've pretty much decided that until something gets fixed I'm done even trying. I have 17 characters and am NOT going to waste my time and hard earned credits for essentially a big fat headache. I wish you all the luck.
  14. I'm actually on the Satele Shan server, and having the same issue. Last time I played was the last week of January and I had no issues then. I had to go out of state for a family emergency, then ended up in the hospital for a week with a medical emergency, so I was 'out' for about two weeks, but NOBODY used my computer during that time and I didn't change anything on it. Yet starting yesterday when I attempt to log in, I just get the forever loading screen. I let it run for an hour earlier, hoping I'd get booted out to the server select screen or something, but no such luck. I do have (really, really old) characters on another server but I can't even get to the point where I can choose which server to log into. II ran the repair utility and have scoured the internet looking for help. This is the closest thing I've found so if anybody has ideas or similar issues let me know, please. I admit I wasn't THRILLED about the upcoming changes in 7.0 but I would like the chance to experience them before deciding to not play anymore. Thanks
