Is there Life on Mars?

Is there a way that Swtor can be set to auto update? With WoW, I set the launcher to run at start up and it would immediately download any new patches. While I can set Swtor to auto run it will not patch until I'm logged in ( Is there a way I can turn my PC on and swtor will just update itself?

I'm fairly new to Swtor having come from WoW. Just wondering why the European servers are offline during the day? Surely these should be done during the small hours here not the small hours in the US. WoW EU servers are offline from about 02:00 BST ish so a minimal number of people are affected. Not complaining as I'm at work and unable to play anyway, just a curiosity,

I know this has been covered with a post or two before, but the issue needs to be urgently fixed as I am finding some quests are impossible with the issue as its - this post has been copied into a bug report ingame. General Issue - Unless you click on the Mob with the yellow bar you will not get the quest item logged in your inventory. Potential Issues : - Issue 1 - Quest = Collect Item Y -> Doable if you click on the right guy If you accidentally click on the wrong guy you will need to reset the quest and click on the yellow guy - attempts to pick up another item will fail because you can only "only carry one" Issue 2 - Quest = Collect X of Item Y -> Takes longer to do quest More often than not you will kill more than 1 guy at the same time, this has therefore the chance that multiple mobs will drop the yellow items - you will only be created with the one you clicked on meaning all the others will be lost. Issue 3 - Quest = Collect Item X, Item Y and Item Z -> Practically impossible. The problem is when you kill a group of mobs more than 1 item will drop meaning that 1 of the yellows won't register, as you cannot pick up any more of these the quest cannot be completed. The only way this quest type can complete is if each yellow item only drops once per "killing spree" as soon as two drop together you need to reset and retry. The last issue occurred repeatedly for me on a heroic quest which after countless resets I gave up. i.e. I had to collect 4 unique items which randomly dropped - you can only carry 1 of each item So, i kill 4 mobs in one attack Mob 1 dropped Item A from the list Mob 2 went green Mob 3 went blue Mob 4 dropped Item B from the list If I collect from Mob 1 the quest is now FUBAR'd because while I have item B it has not registered and any further attempt to collect Item B will fail If I collect from Mob 2 or 3 the quest is now FUBAR'd because while I have items A and B it has not registered either and any further attempt to collect Items A or B will fail If I collect from Mob 4 the quest is now FUBAR'd because while I have item A it has not registered and any further attempt to collect Item A will fail Basically unless I am lucky that only 1 quest item drops per attack the quest cannot be completed

I forgot to add, I could use the compass but nothing happened and the cave entrance remained red

I opened a ticket but as per usual no response. My character started the Journey Into Dust on Tattooine, I arrived in the area and started slaying Sand People and quickly got the compass however the quest said I didn't have it. I slaughtered Sand People in their 1000s, each time I tried to collect more compasses it said I was not allowed because I already had one ... but according to the quest I still did not. I reset the quest in a hope this would fix the issue but, despite making the Sand People extinct I still could not get the dropped compasses to register on the quest ... despite now several angry resets and trips back to the holoterminal.. As a last resort (the crowning turd in the toilet pipe) I thought, rather foolishly, that I would simply abandon the quest and go collect it again from the quest giver. Did it work ... nope, when I arrived back in town I returned to the location where he was previously to find he'd buggered off and locked me out. So i'm now stuck with a quest I can't get or complete even if I could get it. I wouldn't care if it was a side bonus quest but its a core planet quest.

I got fed up of waiting, it was my only character I had so I deleted his level 38th-ness and restarted At least I can now play again, feel like I've wasted a months sub but at least I should catch up again. I wouldn't care, but due to having a family I can only play the odd hour here and there a week so to be sat there wondering what to do was pointless.

I have the same issue on Alderaan, I can now no longer progress as a Sith Inquisitor. Problem is, this is my only character so I cannot just do the new stuff while it's fixed. Pre-Patch - I had just seen Lady Rist and made her call down the Jedi. I received the next quest to go and see him. Patch occurred. Now I have no quest to see the Jedi I can't re-enter the Rist area to redo the last bit I cannot find any trace of a quest point I can re-start at. Also opened a ticket but no answer

oh flip! I'll have to be nice without being too nice, don't want Ashara getting the wrong impression of me ... luckily I only have to keep her hands off me

Excellent ... I can go full sadistic maniac

Thank you ... There should always be : - - [Flirt] say something nice - [Flirt] say something else nice - [Angry] say something horrible

Is it possible to avoid the romance aspect of the game? I want my character to basically "not give a **** " about anybody as they are all beneath him so to romantic attachments do not follow this way of thinking. I've read online that people have tried it but still ended up being forced to hook up. Class = Sith Inquisitor
