It's a problem on Star Forge, too. I made a new trooper, but the lag spikes have been making it a slog to get through the latter half of the prologue. I really hope it gets fixed soon.

That didn't really help, but I eventually figured it out. I guess it's because I wasn't quite level 55 yet. I ran out, did a heroic and hit 55, and suddenly the option was available.

Hey there, I didn't really know where to put this, so I put it in the Flashpoint section, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I just finished Makeb on my latest smuggler and wanted to jump into the Forged Alliances content. I got the mission to do Korriban Incursion, but when I entered the flashpoint, I realized I was quickly getting my butt kicked. I realized that I was given the Veteran mode version of the flashpoint instead of Story mode. I abandoned the flashpoint and talked to the droid to pick it up again, but the option for solo mode wasn't there. I reset the Forged alliance mission and picked up the automatic Korriban Incursion mission it gives you, but it was still Veteran. I then set my preffered mission difficulty from Veteran to Story and tried the process again, but it still gave me the Veteran mode flashpoint. Is this some sort of bug, or did I do something wrong?
