Gotta love all of the people who post on the thread without bothering to take a look at any of the most recent posts. Because if they did then they likely wouldn't post because their questions would be answered. LOL They are under a DDoS attack and having issues on all sorts of EA servers. It is because of the DDoS attack that the servers are wonky, kicking people, losing connection, etc. Apparently the culprit is a bunch of lamers calling themselves poodlecorps

Maybe you should look at that post right above yours. Or the one I posted a link to earlier: Just saw this- their under a DoS attack and having issues on all sorts of EA servers. http://www.swgameoutpost.com/2016/08...-difficulties/ They are most definitely under attack.

Been booted off of Begeren Colony 3 times in the last 10 minutes, so it's happening all over the place.

Hadn't played my agent since the expansion release and jumped on him today. Level 60 on Yavin and noticed the same thing- every time "Vecor" speaks it's Kaliyo's lines and voice. I also tried rotating through the companions then back to Vector to try to reset it and it's stuck on her voice.

yep, I'm seeing it as well. I'm on my level 48 Sith Assassin, and I'm seeing it almost anytime I change instances/ locations. Hop off a speeder at a new location, I get it. Go in or out of my ship I see the message. Move from ship docking into spaceport I'm seeing it. I only have 3 missions even in my log- class quest, intro to group finder, and an old one from Quesh I may go back and finish. Very annoying bug. Been on my ship, Hoth and Nar Shaddaa on the same character and it keeps following me.

Thanks everyone. I didn't realize that unlocking a species still dropped a token in your inventory. Logged back in and used the token. Appreciate the help.

Logged into the game on one of my characters on Begeren Colony and paid for the Togruta unlock. It deducted the 600 coins from my account and I claimed it from the store. Logged out to create a new character and the unlock wasn't unlocked. Togrutas are still locked. Ok, tried completely exiting the game and restarting it. Still locked on both factions. So right now I've paid 600 coins for an unlock I haven't received. I've tried logging out, exiting out, completely closing the game, trying a different server, etc., and it's not showing as unlocked anywhere, but the coins are gone and it's not in my cart waiting to be claimed anymore. Is there a way to get this fixed and get my unlock that I paid for?

Jawa scrap hasn't just been reduced on the slot machine. It's pretty much non-existant now. 198 coins dropped in, not one bit of jawa scrap, junk, or droid parts. Tons and tons of rep items (way to much in fact), but no more jawa materials at all. At least not for me. A lot more failed spins as well, around 20% overall. Otherwise I didn't get anything but rep items or respins on those spins.

They most certainly nerfed the heck out of the slots. Jawa scrap hasn't just been reduced on the slot machine.

At least not for me. A lot more failed spins as well. Otherwise I didn't get anything but rep items on those spins. With the 198 spins my totals were: 27 medical supplies (blue rep) 9 confiscated artwork (purple rep) 32 banned holovids (green rep) That's it. No certificates, jawa scrap or otherwise.

don't like the idea of being able to buy/ sell/ trade with other players. But I do think that you should be able to exchange them for something- either on the rep traders or somewhere else, even if it's just for comms.

I understand not having them tradeable between characters/ accounts, as people selling them to other players would kill some of their cartel coin market. But it would sure be nice to be able to turn in rep items you have left over after maxing rep with a faction to be able to convert them into something else. Even turning them into comms of some sort would be nice. Or exchange them with the rep vendors.

Problem has been solved for you now. All you have to do now is find someone with one of the Contraband Cartel Slot Machines in their stronghold (or buy one), but some coins and start spinning. Lots and lots of rep items dropping on the slot machines. It should be pretty easy to pick up the rep items you want just spending some credits on the coins. I'd guess if you have zero rep you'll likely be able to go to Hero with a couple hundred thousand credits worth of chips and the time to grind the machine.

This is what I ended up doing this time, and it worked. As soon at the dialog was done I hit Force Camoflage and ran like a little frightened chicken. Thankfully it didn't freeze on me this time and I was able to get away. Got the bombs done and came back to only find the two champions left fighting and finished the main bad guy off. Still thinking that it's majorly bugged, but happy to have the idiotic thing out of the way and done. Thank you for the advice. it is majorly appreciated.

Doesn't work in this case, even though it should. If you read my post above you'll notice that in once case I had managed to get to all of 2 weaks before the army smashed me to bit. That was doing one on one attacks, not aoe. There is absolutely no chance to move "to the next step" as you're destroyed and demolished before you get there. Like I said, in the one case where I had one person with me on a trooper we finished the cut scene, saw the mobs turn red, hit one attack button, the screen paused for a moment, and then we found ourselves dead and kicked back outside of the instance to start over. I don't think it was even a span of 5 seconds. Kind of prevents an opportunity to even try a normal working progression when you really don't even have an opportunity to do anything before you're dead. it was also telling that there were 2 other people that had obviously been having the same kinds of issues at that time, one of which joined us for a try with 3 people. It didn't last much longer. I am submitting a bug report this morning. I was to tired to bother with it last night.

To many mobs. It didn't stun half of them, and the boss was completely unaffected. I lasted a bit longer, but still didn't make it to a minute before getting squashed.

So tried this tonight three different ways- once solo, once with a partner trooper, and one with the trooper and another Sentinel on the same quest. I'm level 47 with updated gear (most of it level 43 or 45 blue mods), the quest is level 43, and the other two were both level 48. Should be piece of cake, right? Not even close. All three times were near instantaneous wipes. The longest we made it was 30 seconds. With just me and the trooper the screen paused, and then we were both dead and outside. With just me it wasn't much more. Wtih the three of us I managed to get over to some of the side mobs and might have killed two- maybe, before I got the message that my companion was dead (healer Doc with good gear), and the trooper and other knight went very quickly afterwards. Like I said, maybe 30 seconds tops. The one thing I noticed as well that as we increased people trying to overcome this ridiculous thing that it kept increasing the mob strength and difficulty. Where the first time was 3 regular mobs, the second time was an elite a storng and 2 regulars, then the third was an elite, 3 strongs and 5 regulars. Seems that trying to increase the group size to help was actually backfiring and making it harder. So what's the deal? How do we get past this? At this point my Knight is now stuck and unable to progress because of an impossible mission that there is no way I can get past. It's not a matter of avoiding Krannus- I get hit so fast and so hard there isn't any avoiding anything. It's just simply *boom* you're dead and kicked out and having to restart it all over again. Anyone have a clue?

Very happy that this thread was up. Ran into the bug today. Really surprised that after over 2 years they still haven't addressed it. But a huge thank you to the person who posted the work around.

Any chance of seeing or noting the colors of the crystals ahead of time? I don't do very much PvP, and haven't done any ranked. But depending on what the colors are or might be, I may very well drop into some matches to get that. And have a few guildies who would be in the same boat. Depending on colors and previews of some of the other stuff, we've got a few that have shown some interest in starting some ranked PvP. I'll say this- the rewards are definitely stirring interest in a number of us who otherwise wouldn't think about ranked PvP.

This and the disappearing keys were fixed in today's patch.

I'm curious to know as well, do the drops appear on lower level versions of the FP? Can low level toons get them if they do them on level? What about high level toons solo'ing them when overleveled for them? Or is it only on the level 50/ 55 FP's and hard mode?

Looking way back to the days of UO (Ultima Online)- furniture dye tubs. Have something that you can use to change the colors of each piece of furniture- and have several colors available and not from a lucky draw cartel coin lottery. Make it so that anyone can get the colors that they want, and can change them easily. We should also be able to change the wall and floor colors as well.
