Regardless of credit limit or not just reading this thread as well as seeing the current state of Shae Vizla server is just sad to me. I will admit I was a player that think transfer shouldn't have happened right away when the server first open but I didn't think they would restrict transfers that long I would've thought transfers would be opened less then 2 weeks after the server have opened. But yeah transfers shouldn't have been limited this long.

Oh no I don't mind just grinding regular mobs to get Dark Spores. It's just that from reading it appears that Dark Spores drop once every 1 - 2 hour and it seems very slow (unless they fixed it in a patch, I haven't tried farming Dark Spore myself). So just to be clear that Dark Spores absolutely drop but that you cannot equip a companion to get them? (since Dark Spores do not have any companion tied to it).

This is a bit of an offtopic but I noticed that new characters can grab Galactic Season 5 missions from collection tab and completing those missions reward you dark spores. I am wondering if creating multiple alts then getting dark spores from those missions is more efficient then farming dark spores manually from mobs?

Ouch that must be annoying especially those DP/DF tech runs I could see why people were flagging the devs about this issue. I wasn't here around that time but did they ever give a reason why nightmare KP/EV was removed but still kept them in other OPs?

Can anyone verify that Dark Spores still drop? Other reputation items are connected with companions but dark spores do not have companion tied to it.

I'm curious what OPs were bugged that switched master from veteran if I recall a lot of master mode OPs were removed.

I don't want to preach to the choir but a sudden maintenance to fix OPs? I wish they would do that for other bugs/glitches haha.

Yeah this came from a surprise usually devs would shutdown server from few days - few hours notice but here they shut it down just 30 minutes ago with little warning but I understand wanting to fix OPs its just came to a surprise for me.

Thanks for sharing a blog post. It's pretty depressing to read especially when SV is going to dip harder after GS are over. I have read many arguments for credit limits or not here but regardless server transfers need to happen asap.

With the exception of server transfers coming out late/not knowing what kind of restrictions will be placed on server transfer, what is the consensus of everyone in this forum? Are you excited/happy/relieved that server transfers are happening?

Yeah you make some good points although lowbie pvp is dead compare to max level pvp. It's kinda funny seeing Courts and Heroes being the biggest guilds in SV. Regardless I do hope SV doesn't depopulate even more after galactic season is over 😔

I don't disagree that this game is very NA-centric but Darth Malgus server, an EU server has a very healthy population when compared to SV (I understand that population of Europe is much bigger then Australia/New Zealand). Yeah SWTOR does have an official channel and social media page but it is not very heavily promoted. I'm not sure what is the budget of EA/Broadsword that they may not be able to afford advertising. Still, the lack of advertisement does play a role on the server population and I also have seen Japanese players in SV which is very interesting. Yeah I can definitely see some of the players inactivity contributing to SV population and I do think the biggest factor is the fact that SV came out at a time where this game population has declined overall ever since KOTFE/KOTET had it came out earlier (well it did but APAC server has been removed) then I do believe there would be more people. It is just an unfortunate period. I think the unfortunate part as well (it isn't bad but still) is that about half - 70% of the players are veteran/not from APAC then again the game has trouble bringing in new players without the ad promotion as mentioned before (last time it happened was when SWTOR came out on steam). I still have hope for SV server in the future...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notice this. Due to some complicated irl work few months back I played a bit when SV server came out but did not have time to invest the time. I came back a week ago and I find the server very low population. I get that it has been a few months since SV been released but wow I didn't expect the population to dip so drastically that I kinda missed when it was really high up back then. I hope whatever they do to fix it (whether it be allowing server transfers, etc.) I kinda just feel sad playing on a server that feels dead (I played during APAC times correctly and fleet always ranged from 20 - 50 which is pretty low IMHO).

OP here but it has been nearly 3 months have they been confirmed to fixing it in the upcoming 7.3 patches or will it be fixed in 7.4?

Ah I forgot to update but 2 weeks ago I can indeed confirm that Fay/PH4-LNX still drop G.A.M.E. modules however unfortunately Notes of Reflection drop as well and that drop more often then. Also I asked a dev about Jawa Intel and unfortunately they say that due to Season 3 ending the Jawa won't trade G.A.M.E. intel which is silly since I haven't completed the reputation yet. That sucks that it is still bugged I hoped that it was secretly fixed.
