Logging in over a VPN worked for me. Hopefully this is a temporary need

A little before noon Pacific today, I was logged out of Satele Shan server to the server screen. I couldn't get back in and so restarted the game. It now tells me (on two different computers, one that I've restarted) that the login service is currently unavailable. I can log into the website no problem (obviously) and have validated that my account is currently paid for. I do not use Steam for Swtor

The Saboteur story line is still broken. Just tried running it and was not given the option to contact Jonas

At just after 6:00 Pacific time, it seems to have become impossible to load into fleet for many if not all people on Satele Shan, on pubside, atleast. We clicked to load into fleet and are now stuck on a loading screen at about 60% through. Restarting our games or our computers doesn't work. We also cannot try logging into different toons because it says we are logged into the toons stuck on loading screens.

This is not a good change. My guild does nightly ops using the group finder op of the day. This new system breaks that utterly. Yes, we will run S&V once or twice this week. We will also run Dxun, but we want to run other ops with the group finder bonus too. Further, at least on Satele Shan, no one actually uses group finder to randomly queue for ops. You set up your ops group and then you go into group finder. With the Weekly objective, people will still set up S&V runs. They would just walk in. Group finder is not needed.

Initial Reaction 1. Naming all the objectives as either Daily Priority Objective or Weekly Objective is not helpful. Include more about which each one is. 2. I'm not fond of the weekly objectives. I'd like to see the operation back in there (maybe it will cycle in). And if you are going to make Siegebreaker an objective, the respawn time for it should be lowered.

Please answer the following questions: Were you able to find the Galactic Seasons page? Yes. That wasn't hard. However the progress bar is odd. I'm currently at 21/800 points and I've collected level 1 and 2 rewards. But there is a progress bar just below the levels that shows me to be 12.5% through level 1? Were you able to locate your Galactic Seasons Priority Objectives in the Galactic Seasons screen? Eh? Mixing them in with Conquest objectives was very confusing. I think they need their own page. Also, just what each one was is way too unclear. I had no idea which are daily and weekly objectives. Or which objectives actually count. The two at the top are the only ones that seemed to give me 'daily' points. For instance, I killed 75 enemies on Alderaan for PO Coreward Neutralization, but got no points. Only Tatooine and Corellia kills are giving me galactic seasons points Also, there was no way to know which were weekly objectives. Though apparently killing 200 insectoids counted as that and gave me 12 points. In the Conquest screen there is a list of tentative Daily and Weekly Priority Objectives. These are all denoted as "PO: Name". What feedback do you have regarding the current list of objectives? This may be okay? Still a little confused by daily versus weekly. Also what will be offered when not killing insectoids. How do you feel about the cadence and points offered in GS? Seems pretty easy to accomplish with regular play What other general feedback would you would like to tell us? Make it much clearer what the objectives are, and how many points they will grant, if any.

Let me preface this by stating that I am not one of those people complaining the fp is too hard. Prior to the update, I cleared it a number of times on all levels of diffuculty. Tonight I and a fully 306 geared and augmented group (including a tank using Emergency Power's Power yield defensive) were decimated within the first 10 seconds by Troya Ajak's Songbird's Salvo. We used DCDs, and we did not stack any of the red circles. The healer and one dps were killed outright. The tank and other dps were left with miniscule amounts of health. The mechanic hurt in the past, but nothing like this. Please look into it.

I've cleared this so far on a gunslinger, operative, sentinel, guardian dps and guardian tank, the first two with Ordo still at level 1. Yes, I am in 306 gear, I know my defensives, my interrupts and my cleanses. That no doubt helps. The tank was the biggest pain as everything took so danged long to die. For the last boss, I did notice that Ordo didn't dps the adds voluntarily. He just stood there looking pretty waiting for the boss to return. I had to tell him to attack my target (the adds). When on a dps, set Ordo to heals and use your heroic moment. For the last boss, don't use it at the start of the fight. Click it on when the boss goes up and immediately drop the orbital on the doorway.

Try moving the whole party, or at the very least the person with aggro to his second position. That has worked for me in the past.

The mechanic is not cleanse based. You either run over each others feet to break the shackles or you use a cc break.

Set pieces generally drop from master mode fps. Solo content doesn't give them. Vets rarely if at all.

They seem to have a higher drop rate if you are doing the relevant fps as part of the story.

The Hallowed Guild Ship (RAS Requiuem) has disappeared from the stronghold lists of members who are not currently on the ship. Members who look at the Guild Invasions tab see a message that a Guild Flagship is required to participate in conquest. Nonetheless, members are getting conquest and the guild continues to amass conquest points. When members who are currently on the guild ship open the stronghold window, they can see the ship, but it appears to have no prestige and be at 0% completion. Hovering over completion declares we have decorated 800 out of 800 hooks. We were first made aware of the problem at 11:12 PM (Pacific Time) on July 22.

Er, not if you are any good.

Oh, you are talking Nathema, not Chiss. Big difference I just finished this on a dps balance sage with a very low level healing Lana. So, self heals help, ranged probably helps. But it wasn't terrible? During the Gemini phase, I targeted the panels (by actually clicking on them, not tab targeting) behind the droids and killed them as fast as I could, one after another, ignoring the droids themselves. Also try to LOS the beams of damage behind pillars, and run over a kolto as needed. And don't kill all the sniper adds. Leave 1 up and they won't respawn.

Actually, that is the opposite of what you need to do. There is too much defense in default tank gear. You want to get rid of it and get yourself down around 2k. Look for enhancements with higher endurance and lower defense. You can craft them, or, if you are lucky, they drop from crates. Shield and absorb should be near each other with a slight preference to shield. At 248/236 augs, my tanks runs about 1879 shield and 1876 absorb, and 2035 defense.

First you actually need to change specs. You can do that by either purchasing the legacy perk Field Respecialization or by going and find the guy on fleet that will do it. Per your signature, I'm assuming you are level 70. DPS gear will start dropping from crates. Or, buy your set bonus gear on fleet, if you have enough command tokens. It isn't very expensive.

Sadly no. Just checked this. Still have my traditional companions plus the one I picked up on Iokath.

Sigh. For PVE, no classes are horrible if you know how to play them. If you are going by leaderboards, then power techs currently beat mercs, but unless you are an extremely skilled player, none of that matters. You are trying to play a tank, and that is a little annoying for leveling/solo play. Advanced Prototype is a fun spec to play, and easy to pick up and do well at. Check out the guide for it on Dulfy.net. Powertech *is* a largely melee class. If you want to play ranged, then yes, switch to a merc (or sniper or sorc)

So, I'm all for PVPers have a path to the crystals, but I don't PVP, so you've just decreased my ability to get a weekly crystal by making the weekly mission be either PVP or PVE.

Happening to me too, regularly. Often multiple times in a row (4+). Sometimes switching characters helps, but sometimes not (so that may just be coincidence). On rarer occasion an activity (usually an op) will count twice for Socialite.

Last night (6:00 PMish server time), zoned into the PVP instance of Nar Shaadaa for Bounty hunter contract. 1. Contract contact was missing 2. Quick travelling to a heroic killed me 3. Performed heroic, but no 1000 cxp - checked Conquest window - totally blank 4. Could not change instance to PVE, or quick travel to fleet or stronghold 5. Was able to use Map to quick travel to Tatooine. 6. Switched to PVE instance and traveled back - everything was fine on PVE instance. Happened on 2 characters (only 2 I tried) Potentially related - guildmate attempted to queue for flashpoints with me. Got a popup, everyone accepted and but no quicktravel appeared. Window just stayed in ready state. Dropped group, tried independently, same thing. Guildmate cleared their own PVP instance default and things started working normally for both of us (for some definition of normal)

I (on Satele Shan) am experience 2 kinds of lag. 1. The reported in game only hiccups on strongholds and guildships 2. A very different lag in specific operations and flashpoints that actually interrupts my connection to the internet (red bar and connection to discord goes down). It is unlikely that this is just an internet problem as running heroics and some flashpoints were fine. Specifically, I did a last boss lockout (gf from fleet) on one toon and experienced constant lag. I then switch toons and run Nar Shaada heroics/bounter hunter without issue. While doing that, I ran 2 flashpoints. False Emperor (lag 2/3's of the way into the fp), Hammer Station (no issue). Switched toons again to rack up kills on Tatooine (no problem) and ran 3 more fps, one I don't remember (no problem), Battle of Ilum (no issue) and False Emperor again (lag issues 1/4 of the way into the fp, which did resolve when I disconnected and reconnected my internet). In other words, something seemed wrong with False Emperor. I had similar issues on Tuesday night, but cannot remember which FP's.
