Lol I haven't updated this for a long time, I guess I'll post since I finished the Bounty Contract event. Haven't gained a huge amount of points though.... 11,175 points for Rhabech

Just trying to figure out how this one is relevant. I have every single one of my abilities, including ones that I would never use, along with stuff like seeker droid, speeder, medpacs, bound with just the left half of the keyboard and shift + the left half of the keyboard. I don't have anything as far as 6 bound with shift (don't have shift+5 either, actually), and I don't use ctrl for anything.

It also doesn't seem particularly logical to require killing 1000 other players on Alderaan, when it's pretty much impossible to even get *one* kill on a PvE server, and this achievement would just inspire mass ganking on a PvP server. I think it's pretty clear the achievements system isn't quite full of logic

And even this much isn't a great incentive to actually use GF for that old content. If you're going for achievements, that means you need pretty much ALL of the bosses, including the ones that GF groups almost always skip (every bonus boss, the general in Black Talon, like half of Boarding Party, whatever boss it was you can skip in Battle of Ilum....). With the level cap at 55, it's easy enough to just solo the 50 HM's so that you can actually kill ALL of the bosses needed for achievements, not just whichever bosses your average GF speed-run feels like killing.

It takes all of a couple days to learn to touch type the alphabet. Using "I can't touch type" as an excuse is just lazy. Even more so since you only even need half the keyboard to hotkey every single ability you have, including the ones you don't ever use.

Logic hole: MCR-99 droids. You have to go back to all the planets with a high-level character to find those droids, so there's nothing wrong with having something else to do on the planet at the same time with that high-level character.

None of the threads on this forum are necessary.

So, the main thing I've been caring about lately in this game is the achievements. Is there anything I can do with Cartel Coins that can help with getting achievements (serious question, not cynicism)? If not, then I couldn't possibly care less about this reward. But then, I'm not sure what else they really could have given me that I would actually care about, so I see little reason to complain here.

Now is as good a time as any to roll another agent up to that point, since it's double XP for the next three and a half days

I suppose I'll update my still-low numbers just so I can find this thread really easily later. 8520 points for Rhabech *sigh*, going through the republic class stories is so time consuming for so few achievement points...

I was experiencing no issues whatsoever before this happened, no lag or anything. Just the sudden crash

People do this? Scary.

Actually, I think you should look at that response. That post says that the requirement should be logging onto the account on ANY toon, not having to log on with every single one of them to ensure that a couple names don't get taken, like you are suggesting. Logging in/out with every character is more than a minor annoyance when the game freezes for 5+ minutes every time I try to log out (and it's not only me with this problem), then making it necessary to open the launcher for each character, which itself takes a few minutes to load after some recent patch, not to mention the pre- and post- character selection loading screens, each taking a few minutes. Just logging into ONE 'inactive' character, logging right back out, and then logging into the character I want to play with, would make it take 25+ minutes from the time I sat down to the time I actually get to start playing the game, which is presumably what I sat down to do in the first place. And of course I have more than one inactive character to deal with, having a total of 12 toons myself. This is why it should be the account itself that must be active (as suggested in the very post you just told me to read), not each and every character.

This is a bad idea. I never check the email address associated with my SWTOR account. Why should I need to or be forced to when I log into the game itself every day? You can see in my sig that I have two Imperials still at level 50. I haven't used those two characters since before 2.0 was released, and I still won't for awhile longer. Since those characters have been sitting still for so long, surely I don't care about them and wouldn't mind if someone else took the names away from me, right? Wrong. I am trying to play through all of the class stories before I go back and start using those characters again, but I do certainly intend to go back and play those characters up to 55 and use them in endgame content. But going through all the Republic class stories takes time. Enough time for your proposed system to automatically take my names away from me, even though I am an active player with every intention to keep and use those names. Just stop.

I sent a bug report about EV HM a full month ago, do those actually get read? Anyway, can anyone else clarify for me, is EV the only one messed up in this way right now? In other words, should I bother going for the KP/EC achievements right now, or are those messed up in some way as well? I'd rather not waste my time getting a group together just to find a bug that'll make me do it again after it's fixed

Or what they would probably do if they did anything at all would just be to take the imperial balmorra WB (the Grandfather) and plop it into the republic side with a lot more HP. And then accidentally add a million HP to the imperial one in the process

Still no fix to the EV HM Achievements

If you do that, you can't get the Group Finder commendation reward.

The droid on Tython is definitely much stronger than any enemies on the other three starting planets though; you could say it's sort of an 'introductory world boss'. The Savrip you can do with just yourself and your companion very easily with a hefty Presence stat from legacy, but when I tried the Tython droid with the same Presence stat, I barely knocked a quarter of his health down.

I have noticed this happen a couple times before. Once, it was all Coruscant achievements that I had tracked. I logged into a character who was on a different planet, got this error, tons of random letters and numbers showing up on the tracker. Then I traveled to Coruscant, and once I got onto the planet (where the achievements are actually relevant), all the achievements were showing correctly again. Amusing coincidence, or significant information about the nature of the bug? Hmm...

Okay, it seems like this bug is connected to the Jedi Temple. Something those other two characters of mine had in common is that I fully explored the rest of the areas before ever heading to the Temple for the first time. I just went back to Coruscant with a third character (sigh), who already had the Temple unlocked, but not a couple spots on the Senate Plaza or Black Sun Territory. I unlocked those areas (finishing with Black Sun), and the achievement popped this time.

Yeah, this bug was pointed out a long time ago, before that patch in which they fixed a bunch of other achievements, but they ignored this bug. It'll probably be awhile before they decide to actually fix it....

You can't try it with the same char again, the map is already uncovered

I encountered the same bug awhile ago and sent a bug report; I wonder how long it'll be until they fix it.... I fully explored the planet on two different characters, all areas are checked off, but the achievement is still listed as incomplete....

When I killed those colicoids, I did not receive the entry. I still had to go through the Inquisitor phase to get to the old ones to complete the achievement. This was at the end of May.
