I am a consular and I have completed the entire story, including the nathema flashpoint and I don't have any alert for Felix Iresso's return. Is this a bug or is there something else I need to be doing?

Interesting theory.... but then why did Luke need training? According to your theory he should have just been imbued with auto force powers to rise up and counter the Emperor and Vader. For that matter, why did Palpatine need training? Why didn't he just have auto dark-side powers to rise up and counter the dominance of the light side jedi at that time. Why does anyone need training? I respect the thought you put into this, but I can't see it working as a theory that can hold over the whole cannon. And I GUARANTEE you that Disney did think nearly as deep as you did trying to come up with an explanation.

I am having the same issue and it is true for both warzones and gsf on one toon. I don't know if it is the toon or being on Iokath, although my alignment on Iokath was consistent with the toon's original faction (imperial for an inquisitor). It is REALLY annoying. I haven't tried being on other planets but found that as long as I stayed on my flagship or the fleet, it would let me enter the wz or gsf match. But it is SUPER annoying

Many interesting points raised here. It would be nice if they were true. However, I will state again, if you look at the empirical data, what do you see? What do the players whose names you recognize as being good GSF players do? 1. Aces that used to fly scouts all the time now fly strikes 2. Aces that used to fly gunships all the time now fly strikes 3. Aces that used to fly bombers all the time now fly strikes It's the others that still fly scouts, gunships and bombers.

Strike fighters are the new dominant ship: a better scout than a scout (missile breaks but with much tougher hull), a better bomber than a bomber (tougher hull and with missile breaks), and by far a better gunship than a gunship (protorps=new rail gun). Over time, I expect we will see matches come to be strike v strike matches only. I have noticed the following trends: 1. The aces who used to fly scouts now fly strikes 2. The aces who used to fly gunships now fly strikes 3. The aces who used to fly bombers now fly strikes The inexperienced and new pilots fly bombers, gunships, and scouts; and die. Also, a personal note of frustration: plasma railgun has got to be the worst weapon in game now. I can hit a strike fighter with a fully charged shot for 1080 damage, and it takes the strike's shields down to only 50%. I have to get another shot in to even start to damage the hull. In the meantime, the strike will sit right in the line of fire and calmly fire a protorp and one-shot my gunship. As I see it, the only solution is this: Make a Jedi/Sith floating around in space the new GSF ship, now that it is canon:rak_01:

I think it is interesting actually how little discussion of Last Jedi is going on. A few folks debating back and forth, but excitement level has noticeably dropped since Episode 7. Saying the New Republic fleet was all destroyed by those 5 planets that apparently you could see from anywhere in the galaxy (because this new star wars entire galaxy is the size of the distance from Earth to our Sun) was just a quick plot device devised by writers in a room to explain away the question: "Where is the New Republic in all this? Why aren't they fighting the New Empire?" Who wants to take bets that the way they deal with the fact that the one original character they left alive is the only one whose actor has died will be in the opening crawl? What is the over/under on the first line of the opening crawl of Episode IX being "PRINCESS LEIA HAS DIED"

I want them for the following reasons: 1. I am trying to gear up a pub toon for raiding and I'm tired of the RNG of the command boxes just giving me blue 244 stuff. 2. I want to do a 2 match Daily on an Imp toon, not a 4 match daily on a pub toon 3. I want to do a 12 match Weekly on an Imp toon, not a 19 match Weekly on a pub toon. Dailies and weeklies take too long as a pub. I want to avoid pub pvp, go spam basic attack in imp pvp and still win, then move on with the game. Right now.

Who wants to bet that in the end this whole "traitor" thing will also be a forgotten plot point.

I also did not get my conquest rewards. Our guild finished 8th on Alderaan on Jedi Covenant. My main got the rewards but no others. So I resubmitted for the other toons, along with guildies, and then by the time they responded it was in to the next week, where we didn't place, and they responded to me and other guildies that they couldn't see my guild on the leaderboard, so we didn't finish in the top 10. REALLY FRUSTRATING! Not only is there no apology, there is even accusation we are lying.

I stopped pvp'ing several months ago, and game has been a lot better for it. I still check the forums from time to time for any sign it is getting better.

Google "Ilum 1.2" to see why Open World PvP will never, ever, work in this game again. Remember Fray!!!

Wait until unassembled components become legacy bound. Switch to imp toon and get carried to pvp victories by my imp teammates while I eat popcorn for fast unassembled components acquisition. Move to pub toon. Purchase top level gear. Rinse and repeat.

If you worry that Disney is killing SW, just wait until Episode VIII, where we will learn that Anakin actually was not the chosen one, or the prophesied one. That was a mistake the Jedi made. Anakin was just some dude. Luke redeeming his father was nice on a personal level for Luke, but really meant nothing in the broad scheme of galactic importance. Instead, Rey is actually the chosen one.

I am so tired of warzones. I play pubside. I am not the best but have improved over time. The problem is that so few else on pub side are improving. This is a coordination game folks (what's a coordination game, you ask? It means you have to go back to school!) So basically it doesn't matter how good I become, how much I practice, or gear up, because unless others on my side do that, my ability to win warzones is basically nothing. Case in point, I was in a voidstar. I was playing a tank. On the attack round, me and a healer went left. With one other person, we kept the attention of 6 of the other team. That meant that the other door was a 5 vs. 2 situation. And yet my great teammates could not for the life of them defeat 2 of the enemy and cap the door. I knew that facing 6 of the enemy we would not be able to cap our side, so we focused on pulling their attention away from the other door, and yet to no avail. So bad. What use is trying in this type of environment? Why even play? At the end of that game, even though dps and heals were roughly balanced across the two teams, our team managed 1 kill. 1 kill. The other team members ranged between 50 and 60 kills. What on earth is going on?

So let me get this straight.... Say I am currently galactic command rank 120. I am wearing a purple 230 set bonus headpiece, but I ditched the shell back in the day before they suddenly decided you needed the shell to buy the next level gear. So I am going along, playing SWTOR. I play a Story Mode OP, and I get a unassembled headpiece token. At the same time, from the operation, I get enough cxp to get a command rank and inside that crate I get a tier 2 PURPLE headpiece with set bonus. So now I have this tier one token and tier 2 PURPLE set piece. There is no way to convert the tier 2 set piece that is PURPLE to anything. It can't be turned into a gold tier 2 headpiece and it can't be turned into a gold tier 3 headpiece. It can also not be turned into a purple tier 3 headpiece. So that piece is a dead end. My only option if I want to start purchasing the gear with the unassembled warzone pieces is this: 1. I use the tier one token from the story mode OPS I just did to buy a purple tier one headpiece with set bonus 2. I then use THAT shell to purchase a tier 2 GOLD unassembled headpiece by combining it with those unassembled warzone things 3. I can then trade that unassembled token for a tier 2 GOLD headpiece, which is roughly what I already have, except its the PURPLE tier 2 headpiece. 4. But then with that GOLD tier 2 headpiece I can use even more unassembled warzone stuff to buy an unassembled tier 3 gold piece. 5. I then use the unassembled tier 3 gold piece to buy the actual gold tier 3 piece I want. Is all of the above true? Is this my only option? Is the tier 2 PURPLE headpiece that I have now essentially a worthless place holder until I replace it with a gold tier 2 and then gold tier 3 using tons of unassembled warzone thingamabobs? Anyone?
