    Since a GS is only available for a limited time we didn’t want to push into a FOMO feeling or anything like that.

    Well it seems FOMO is definitely happening.  Not all of have the time to push through the higher season levels, so we did miss out.

    Sound Effects Changes

    in General Discussion

    Has anyone else noticed the subtle sound changes for the creature mounts?  The foot steps for sand, dirt, metal rock and all other surfaces are quite different now.  Even in the tunnels on Tatooine!  The sound has a hollow, almost echoing quality that was never there before!🙂

    Insane GTN Prices!

    "one of the reasons why its so many credits is because of the cost of rl money to buy the datacron on the cartel store. if something is going to cost say, 20$ USD, or whatever, no one is going to list it for dirt cheap. "

     

    I get that.  I have gotten them before off the GTN, but I have NEVER seen prices as high as they have been recently.  It's absolutely insane!

    Kicked From Guild

    when u made up this topic, it was a different game.
    during that time you could invite people to join the conquest. so in theory you could have more than 1000 players in your guild, by rotating them. 
    later it was changed, so that you can add conquest points after the next tuesday. so the cap really is 1000 players. and it was changed, what happened
    to the points. if you leave a guild today, they won't lose points. if they kick you, they will.

    of course there are more reasons, why to kick players. maybe somebody with influence doesn't like you and wanted to get kicked,
    or you legacy name was to close to sb who was kicked out. 
    it also could be, that the one who invited all, did it against guild agreements and so they all got kicked out. 

    sometimes, if you mark multiple chars in the guild, it also could happen, that there is a wrong name in and so it is just a mistake.

    there are so many reasons. you can ask them, maybe they have a discord, or you just don't care about. 

     

    also there are many guilds around, who are having strict activity rules. so maybe something like everybody will be
    kicked, who didn't logged in within xx days. 

     

    best ist, just don't care about.

     

    if you got banned from a guild, this is a different story. banning people in the guild, means some "work".
    you have to login to your guild leader character and ban them manually. banned legacies can't be invited
    to the guild anymore. but if you search the forums, you will see, that some are banning people just for
    not knowing the right way in a flashpoint, to skip groups or for throwing snowballs on them. 
     

    When this happened, my name was part of a list of at least 50 other new members that got the boot all at the same time.  As stated, I was actively playing and I still don't get it.

     

    Y'all are alright

    My first post.

    I've been playing the game for just a short time - a couple of months. In that short time, I've met quite a few very friendly, patient, and fun folks while playing. People willing to walk me through some of the group content, explain how systems work, and generally make the game more welcoming.

    Y'all are alright. Thanks for making the game a good time.

    This is, without a doubt one of the nicest, most helpful communities in online gaming.  Enjoy the game and your time here!

    Kicked From Guild

    We know that we are quite a tad late to this, but we'd like to weigh in (hoping that change will happen, or at least cause possible future recruits to not jump in too quickly).

    Not only were we kicked... but also BANNED with no reason given.

    No reason needs to be given. You have no innate right to be in the guild. To remove you is totally up to the guild leader. You have NO recourse.

    Having said that, if you were kicked from a guild then there most likely was a reason even though you may not agree with it.

    What reason could there possibly be for getting kicked 2 hours after joining, while actively playing and having broken no rules?  That's what happened to me when I originally made this post.  

     

    Voss is so bland and just ugly looking after 7.3 its a downgrade across the board!

    I have no basis of comparison because I don't have any screenshots from earlier Voss, but the screenies that the OP posted are very clear. the new shots look "bleached." so assuming it wasn't something he did on his end, the difference is pretty stark to me. almost like going from a crap LED to OLED. or like viewing a cheap QLED from a wide angle versus an OLED. the colors get washed on the wide viewing angles of cheaper LEDs.

    I didn't see any screen shot links in the OP.  Did I miss something?

    After having not logged in for a month or so, I went to Voss to see this for myself.  Other than the sky being more orange than before, I'm just not seeing what you guys are!  The planet has always looked like it's in a perpetual state of Fall, so the colors tend to all be from the same palette anyway.  What I did see that was beyond bizarre, was that I literally had the whole planet to myself!  Not ONE other player was in my instance!  I have legitimately never seen that before!

    Is this a bug?

    Um, I don't know but Presence is designed to affect your companion's performance. If your companion hasn't changed level, neither will the presence? 

    It sounds like you may have the wrong idea of what Presence is for. 🤔

    My current companion is influence level 50, and yes I do know what it is used for.  I just don't ever remember the stim being stuck at 288 for so long.

    I have a level 75 toon currently on Hoth, and my presence stims only show a buff of 288.  This has not changed in the last two dozen level ups.  Is this a bug?  I know for a fact that it never used to be this way.

    Launcher is not working since update around noon today

    Hi all,

     

    We're still investigating this issue and appreciate the details of the reports coming in. If you are experiencing this issue, please also offer additional details such as specs as that will greatly help us investigate.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Same issue. Can barely get past the launcher, then crash to desktop. Repair utility made no difference. I have an Intel core i7 (7th gen), with a Gtx 1050 (4gb), and 16 megs of RAM.

    Thank you for the letters - keep them coming

    Focusing on the positive side of Digging Deeper, just wanted to say big THANK YOU to devs and writers for all the letters received after completing such a tiny story chunk. All made a good read, and honestly didn't expect a single word from my hubby Theron - so this one in particular was a huge surprise and a great joy.

     

    With that many people met across the story, letters from them make all those relationships so much more alive. No matter if we're talking romance, friendship, or just a business relation, a letter from such a person adds depth to the relationship; makes it meaningful and more memorable. Please keep up the good work - keep those coming.

     

    I SO totally agree! That letter from Theron made me all warm and fuzzy and willing to go through what little content there was!:)

    The gearing changes didn't work. Were all in 330 gear with no effort.

    I'm with you on the PvP thing. I don't enjoy PvP or GSF, plus I'm too old and slow for it anyway.

     

    Like you, I played mostly solo (in SWTOR) for years, other than grouping up to do some Heroics. The early guilds I was in were mostly dead and there was no 'guild' activity*, so Group Finder was the only way to do Flashpoints.

    It took me a while, but I eventually plunged into veteran mode FPs. It took me another while to get up the courage to try MM flashpoints.

     

    So, don't let a few bad experiences deter you from having fun and exploring the full game. You may start out being 'carried' through, but with practice and better gear, you'll soon be just good as most players.

     

    What server are you on?

     

    * Disclaimer - no lack of guild activity these days. 🙂

     

    I am currently on Satele Shan. The toon I'm concentrating on right now is in a young guild with very nice people. I may eventually screw up the courage to play in a group with them!
