I used that quest and "unlocked" him, and he shows up in my list, but it won't let me summon him. It will let me summon the others around him in the same list, but not him. Good thing I subbed for 5 months, just to not be able to use him...

I agree. Now I have more spots for my class resource regens!

I do, but it was broken, because to leave at the start of chapter 4, and then start up again, it tells you that you can't play because you don't have the required companion to start the chapter. Basically the only way I found around it was to travel to Zakuul directly, then land on the planet, reset my local phase, and then go back onto my ship and then hit Play. Definitely a game breaking bug on the main quest line.

yea, not having the quest complete on 9 characters, but you were significantly enough through them on each seems like a failure to complete a task on your part. I mean, soloing the 2 flashpoints was fun, and I interspersed warzones with looking for the hk parts. Then again, I don't get him on every toon. You could make a cause to get that $125k part back from outlaws den from customer support, just good luck on getting a response before thxgiving.

Well, I feel like the CGI movie was necessary, as it was a great marketing tool to bring people in. I mean, I still watch the original 3 to this day and love every second of it...even calling out the moves I use in pvp as they come up on screen (pretty dorky, I know)....Intercede when he saves Satele, Storm when he rushes Malgus, Disturbance when she throws malgus into the stone wall. Honestly, they could have just not touched crafting. Added another 100 on top, and left it like that. I think level sync was a great idea, adding more content in a throwback to OG stuff you might have skipped. Add at least 2 pvp maps would have gone a long way for me. Another novare coast/civil war type of KoH map for instance.

I wonder how much that really would have cost. I mean, are these voice actors so elite that they cost bonkers amount of money? Just get Jay Pharoah from SNL to do them, since he has a million voices. I would love my smuggler to sound like Christopher Walken. To get..this gravestone...off the ground, you will...need more...cowbell.

I agree, you had 6 months to take advantage of that. However, I agree with the slow leveling again, as it forces you to enjoy the other content, like the Heroics that you can do at any level (which is more storyline stuff), and the flashpoints, as well as encouraging pvp. If they left it at 12xp, then it wouldn't force you to explore other options, making that content useless. It's actually a great idea on their part for the level sync, so that you can go back and enjoy content that you missed, while still getting rewarded for it. The best way to add new content is to make old content more accessible!

I thought it was going to be like the original 8 characters, all having their own stories, and unique storylines, maybe culminating to the same spot by the 15th or so chapter coming out next year. Something like the movie Crash. I was really disappointed to find out that my mighty guardian and my snarky smuggler have the same storyline for the first 5 chapters, save for some uniqueness throughout chapter 2. How about... I just really expected a different experience from my light-ish side force imbued guardian and my no-nonsense, dark-ish side non-force using scrapper. I haven't played past 6.25 chapters, just cause I like to savor things, but I was really hoping for more. Plus you took away my marvel of engineering cybertech grenade for pvp, so screw you there as well. I don't want to be all negative, so props to the montage, I enjoyed it both times, and also to bring back our The storyline has been great, just wish that it wouldn't have gotten old so quickly, since apparently I'm a legend with a gold star! Lastly....your have gained 275 influence with....

I'm also perfectly happy that any bugs that pertain to only those of us that subbed the entire time is being handled with priority (suck on it F2P).

it's probably just me, but I learned during the SOR early release, that it is just live beta testing for those that spent extra money, which feels like a sham, but we are the suckers who paid for it. I almost got boned 1/3 of the way through the storyline because I dared to leave at the end of chapter 3 to *gasp* do something different. Not all of us wants to ******** through all 9 chapters. I feel like a lot of the stuff is dumbed down, to attract the new players, but it makes us veterans feel like knowledge wasted. Earning gear for my comps was just as fun as earning them for myself. While I do like that all comps have the ability to do any role (so that we can shun those comps we hate, but keep around cause we need a healer for our mara....I'm looking at you Quinn), I don't like that we can't work towards them as normal. I think torchy should either be included, or changes so that we can use, since we DID have an option to steal it for ourselves, but loved Corso's country ***. I wish torchy was a cartel market item so my "bad" slinger could have matching pistols... I think level - sync is a great invention on their part, as the best way to give us new content, is to make older, skipped content more accessible. personally, I solo'ed a lot of the old H4's as a tank with a maxed out treek along the way to get the achievements, while still earning XP, but this allows people to enjoy these cool storyline side quests without too much additional work. Perhaps the people left on staff are more technical than they are creative, which fits well with what we have here. The companion unique maneuvers will hurt most for me with Dr. Lokin and his unique DPS ability. Although it was still a pain to use, cause I would only use him with my concealment op, and everytime I would go into stealth, it would neutralize his combat stance, thus making me click on DPS on the start of each fight. Lastly, I also plan to leave when my sub ends, mostly because I feel like the charge will end, and no new PvP content has been released....and well...Fallout 4.

Looks like others had the same problem here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-The-Old-Republic/KotFE-Chapter-IV-Unable-to-Launch-Spoiler-Alert/m-p/4887513/highlight/true#M2603 I'm not signing up for another account just to flippin say I had the same problem. Here are the steps he suggested. - Use your ship and travel to Zakuul (but also land) - You'll now have the option to reset the quest. - Go back to your ship and the play button should function normally now. They worked for me, and hopefully for you as well. Time for Chipotle as a followup!

Hey guys, I've been playing the game fine so far. I got to the end of chapter 3 as a JK and what a ride! However, at the start of chapter 4, i went back to fleet to check some mail and grab an xp boost (as these red class mission boosts DO NOT work with the new content...what a waste to make all but 2 of the boosts actually viable... but I digress). I did some PvP to wait for the boost to wear off. Looks like they just stuck 60-65 in with the others. So now I want to start Chapter 4, all ready with anticipation. However, when i click the play button, it tells me I cannot start the mission because I don't have the companion that is required. Companion below. I have no way of getting this companion from what I can tell. So then I travel to the planet itself (for $3k mind you) and go to where I see the purple taxi mark, and there IS NO TAXI THERE!! Nothing, NADA!!! How in the hell am I supposed to continue with the story! I tried jumping off the balcony to see if it would teleport me to the next section with no luck. Please assist. Willy P.

Look at my post on page 6. I had this same problem and what i did to fix it.

I think the biggest problem is the download times. From the times in this forum post, it appears that most of the problems were around when the patch first became available, and around 4pm ESt when those started to get off work. I had zero problems with the download, finishing up in 30 minutes or so (the time of a shower and a couple of emails to check). However, I started the day around 1pm as I work graveyard. Ahem......SUUUUUC***KEEEEERRRRRSSSS!!!

I posted about this a few weeks ago. I didn't get a definitive answer as there wasn't a way to check online. I called up tech support and they confirmed that I am good to go. Played the first 3 chapters, and now I'm broken starting chapter 4....FML

Everyone and their mother is trying to download this game today, so patience is a virtue. That being said, I also live in Atlanta, with a comcast business account (stupid Data cap - long story). I loaded up the launcher around 1 pm, took a shower and came back to it being complete. I did have problems once logged in, as it wouldn't let me use any of my existing characters, and said the game was downloading and at 0%. After waiting about 5 minutes, I closed down the game, waited like 20 minutes (had some work to do) and tried to log in again. At that time, it said "unexpected patch error occurred, please try again". I was like "**** me, really, I took off work for this". Then I closed down the app, restarted my PC, loaded it back up again, and it magically started correctly and I'm able to choose existing characters. Hopefully this info is helpful to anyone experiencing the same issues.

It ticks me off. I can't get him on TEH. I was online all last night, and since I work graveyard, I was able to log in throughout the early morning, and I only saw his dead body once. Not sure what is happening. I've been trying today as well with no luck. My server doesn't have enough pop I guess to warrant 2 instances. This is for PD.

I've noticed this in the past few weeks, but it happened so much yesterday and today that I had to post. How does the unranked, level 60 group creation work? I swear when I'm on my level 60 tank, I get like 2 other tanks, and all DPS (for the 8 man). Then the next match, i log off and go to my level 60 healer and get in a match with 1-2 other healers and no tanks. And the arenas have been even worse lately. I've been on teams of 3 tanks 1 dps, 2 healers, a tank and a dps (which the only way we could win was to go to time and have the sage bubble). Is there some kind of behind the scenes rating that determines these groups or am I just unlucky?

Cause I love tanking and healing. I hate premades, unless I'm in them, but I never get invited. Also because it is Star Wars. I've tried to get into other games, but they don't have the same atmospheric appeal. I'm probably as good as I'm going to get at this game. I'd say I'm above average, but not a really good player. I've learned a lot by playing it like LOS and Kiting and peeling, and taunting (both as a tank and dps). Lastly, I'm waiting for the ever-elusive MVP vote for consistent 450-500k protection up to a personal best of just shy of a million in a WZ . Tanks are such a thankless class, but I love protecting healers and slingers from bullies.

So how can I tell if I've qualified for all of the bonus items? I was definitely a sub during the Nico Okarr deadline, it's his blasters that I'm not sure about? Probably easiest to call/email cust support?

I was a subscriber and then cancelled my subscription and then re-upped it a few days later, but I'm not 100% sure of the dates I did it around. I want to take a day or 2 off of work, but don't know if I'm going to be in the early access or not. Anyone know how to tell? Willosh

I only read the first couple of paragraphs, cause this is a long read, but I definitely would have said something after the first fight. Some people are ignorant and don't know any better and if the fight succeeds and no one dies, or few die, then they think they did a good job. When you are surrounded by strong players, you can be weak and not know any better. Personally, if you were offering constructive criticism, I see no problem giving advice. Plus, if he/she turns out to be a dick and/or not listening, then you find out early on and can find a replacement before the weekly. I sure as hell have learned a lot about this game from listening to other people, and I still have so much more to learn. I personally would only get pissed if someone was nit-picking like I forgot to keep a kolto shell on a DPS or something, which is also perfectly fine in an HM OPS. For me, tanking is the toughest role and the one I still haven't "mastered". At least on the Imp Side on Ebon Hawk, they seem to be few and far between, so I'm spending more time with him.

Thanks guys for the info! I've put it to good use in the HM FPs I've done in the past week or so. I now always make sure that the DPS is aware to take down the adds and I usually jump to help kill them no matter the role I am in. Although in Melee Tank I just toss a saber throw. It is interesting that the guy a couple posts above is also still in the camp of "don't touch them and they won't attack". You would think there would be a flash on the screen at the beginning of the boss that says "bug fixed, gotta kill the adds". But, I guess that's the responsibility of a good team leader!

I've been playing this game for a year, but only came across Hammer Station HM about a month ago. I always saw the cleanse ability in the skill tree, but never used it. It wasn't until this FP that the tank was getting frustrated that I wasn't using it and I had no idea on how to do it. Once learned, though, I've been using it as much as I can now, even in OPS groups, although it's surprising how much of the debuffs can't actually be removed. Just the nanites in TFB and DF or DP (forgot which one).

I'm Cook'E'Eater on Ebon Hawk. I'm in a guild, but it always seems hard to get anyone in there to do stuff together, despite there being 7-10 people on just about everytime I log in. To be fair, I'm always joining pug OPS groups when I see them forming on fleet and have been doing pretty well with them. I guess since the sample size is so small in a HM FP, it forces everyone to pull their weight. I just assumed that it was me, but I've been doing everything that was said above except using the orange legs at the wrong time. I don't know when the boss is going to try to pull me in, though. I'm usually using the legs to get out of the water once it is electrified since I'm not focused on the boss so I can't see the capacitor charge. I make sure all the shields are up and i'm at 30 charges of CSC before the fight, and I'm decent at heat management until the first set of adds. Then I and the tank are taking so much damage that I quickly overheat. I usually have to use the insta-heal and no heat cost ability right away. Good call about the stuns, though. I don't think I was using them to stun the adds targeting me.
