Yes well when I've already wasted a whole day downloading this game on steam and trying to get it working, I don't feel like wasting another day doing the same thing on the normal launcher. Not everyone has a fast connection or hours to waste fixing issues that shouldn't even be there in the first place. The real "solution" would be for this lazy dev team to actually fix bugs with the steam version of the laucnher instead of just staying silent on the issue and letting the users work it out and fix it. Thanks for telling me about the name change, I guess. Doesn't change the fact that it still isn't a good look for this company. Just glad I didn't sub to the game again first. Dodged a bullet there.

Done some digging since these forums seem rather slow. In the log there is this error ERROR Failed to transmit agreeement. Resp: 500 Turns out it may be the game failing to save the EULA agreement setting which it asks you to agree with and tick. I found a possible fix but it involves downloading the game through the regular launcher and copy and pasting the file from there after you accept the EULA, but honestly I don;t think I want to go to all the bother for something that should work in the steam version. Really not a good look Bioware, can't even get something as simple as the EULA agreement to save on steam version.

Right first off, wouldn;t allow me to make a thread in general because I'm not subbed grrr. Just downloaded and installed the game on steam, not a new player but returning after a long break. Normally works fine. But this time I'm always stuck on the loading screen. Can't even get to the character selection screen. I am currently using windows 11. Does anyone know how to solve this? If not I'll just have to uninstall the game and never bother with it again. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Not everyone can spend all day playing, so it's not that simple, is it. I don't understand why it has to delete the mission from the log, just keep the mission there to save me from having to trek back to pick it up again. That wouldn't be so bad on it's own, but as I've stated already, it also puts the quick travel icon on cooldown which is 60 mins or so. It's just pointless, why does it do it? All it does it needlessly inconvenience the player.

I like to play the game around this time, and I'm normally playing heroics now. And when the daily reset happens now the game just deletes any heroic I'm currently on and forces me to go back to pick the mission up again, all progress is reset and the timers on the quick transport for those missions I had have a long cooldown on them. It's just annoying, please fix this, it's frustrating and unnecessary.

I agree the new UI is bad, but in my opinion that is not even the worse aspect of this so called expansion. The lack of stuff to do and new content is by far the most serious issue. Simply grinding out new currencies for new gear in old content does not make an expansion. There is no meat on the bone!

Yeah this just happened to me, found sometime today to just try and relax and do some heroics. So annoying, then I go back to pick the missions back up again and the quick travel had 60 min timer on it. So I just gave up and closed the game. Just another reason to hate this new "expansion" can't even relax and do heroics anymore.

I don't see any crates either. There are meant to be crates?

I might give it a try...

Close!

Yeah I just came back to the game and this expansion was so bad I canceled the fresh subscription just a few days later. Normally I leave it running for at least 6 months while I play and absorb all the new stuff which an expansion normally offers. But after completing the story in 2 hours I'm just left with trying to piece together the horrible and confusing new gearing method, but worse still trying to gear up playing old stale content. One new flashpoint and a short story is not an expansion. You need to provide us with way more content to chew through if you expect us to gear up and grind a butt load of new currency. At least make the grind fun, ***.

You get another more fitting word to describe the whole experience.

I just canceled my subscription after only just paying for a month. Will just play this month I paid for and then go preferred for awhile until I feel they have earned my money. To be honest, I feel ripped off paying £9 for 2 hours of lackluster story and a huge headache re sorting out my tool bars and trying to get my head around all the dumb changes.

It's not the most exciting expansion ever...

Gearing seems a little confusing to me atm, so far I've gathered I need to buy 320 green gear from vendors or find it in flashpoints etc. And then upgrade that green gear to something higher using those annoying multiple currency things that I seem to be collecting slowly. But my question is this, am I meant to wear that green 320 gear over my pimped up gold 306 gear which seems to be much better, or just keep it in my bags until I've upgraded it fully? So far the "upgrades" seem really weak and I'm sort of scratching my head wondering what the best way to move forward is. Thanks for any tips.

Wow so I did get lucky then. Makes a change.

Hmm I don't know, weird for sure. There were so many people upset that they kept dying. One guy was saying this is his 40th try. I thought there must of been some bug. But as I say I destroyed him with zero issues, and I'm not some super hardcore player with mad skills. I'm very casual, which made me think I must of got lucky and avoided the bug.

It's probably why they only ask for the subscription fee to own the expansion. If I had paid for the actual expansion on top of the subscription, then I'd be pretty upset with the state of the expansion. The story was very short, I know there is more to come, but there is not really enough to call this an expansion. Feels more like a small update for the story mixed in with whacky UI and gameplay adjustments. I only spent £8.99 so I'm not too upset

So I was playing the new flashpoint in story mode, and while I'm making my way through the place I can't but help notice that almost everyone in chat was complaining that they keep dying over and over to malgus. Some kind of issue with just getting one shot and no way to avoid it. So naturally I was getting worried about my eventual encounter. However, after reaching the encounter with malgus I was able to kill him first time without any issues at all. He was an easy fight. This is not some weird internet flex, I'm just curious now, did I just get lucky without encountering any bugs?

Ah yes of course. Thank you

Oh right, well it just seems to make everything rushed and less rewarding somehow. At least to me. Just as a side question, how do you check your conquest again? I have been away from the game for a few months and can't remember the key for the conquest screen. Thanks.

Played for an hour, very casually, chatting in chat more than playing the new missions and I'm already lvl 79, very close to lvl 80 before the servers went down for patching. Is that a bug or normal?

Welcome. I'm only an occasional poster and casual in this game, but I do lurk quite often, so it's nice to see new people. Since you asked if there is anything you should know, the only thing I can think of right now is IF you're new to the game, check out the new player help section. I check there now and again and still learn new stuff.

Oh excuse me, I didn't mean to be rude. I deleted it more out of embarrassment for myself because I realized the problem was just me doing something incorrectly. But if you must know I was unable to craft anything using my biochem skill, I was trying to craft by pressing the item in the list, i didn't notice the button in the bottom right corner of the window which said "craft"

Nevermind worked it out.
