Now got in after my third PC restart.

Same problem as many others. I found that I'n able to login after I restart my computer.
I have tried that already, guess no harm in trying a second time. Nothing to lose at this point.

Playing from Australia for the last 10 hours and haven’t experienced this issue.... yet....
I have to agree with some of the other posters that some of these problems are probably caused by connection issues due to routing through some dodgy backhaul infrastructure.
Otherwise everyone would be affected. Either that or people’s PCs have a comon issue. Which could possibly be an automatic update of some software, drivers or operations systems or even having botnet malware installed on their systems and activating at the same time.
There will be a common denominator that is only affecting some people. Once that is identified, people can take steps to find a solution.
If you have been playing for last 10 hours as you say then you would not have encountered the issue anyway. The issue is logging in not already log in. If you quit game and then log in without any issue fine, until then means nothing. I am in the UK and am having the same log in issue. So seems a global issue as in its affecting players from all continents.

It's irritating that there's so much focus on PvP in this game. As a sub who plays the game for story how about focusing on non-pvp, non-operations casual players for a change. Some of us pay for the game, but have lives and can only play casually.
More to the point, I dread to think how much I've paid into this game, there shouldn't be content I cant access e.g. a Stronghold just because I dont wish to endure the toxic environment that is PvP!
I do not mind BW doing more for PvP players it more that BW are saying FU to solo players. Yes there is story and have enjoyed playing it. but server mergers, level sync, changes to conquests it just been building up for some time. sorry but all these has ruined the game for me. I had 7 accounts but all good things come to an end and that end has come for me. I just no longer enjoy my time here. Not sure how much over my 7 accounts I have spend on this game but around £10k. I think over all the recent conquest changes for me was the final nail in the coffin. I have been slowly reducing my account since level sync came out but with server merges and now as said conquest changes it time to move on to something else.

"So given what I expect from the writing team, I would expect this - Malgus stays dead, Jaesa gets a 2 minute cutscene and then is returned as a companion, Jadus kills Vowrown and then dies to the player in a flashpoint or two. That would be so incredibly predictable and STUPID."
Predictable and stupid? I Disagree for the most part. Darth Malgus should stay dead and it would be stupid to bring him back in any way shape or form. Jaesa? Well personally I hope if and when she comes back its not as the main villain of the 6.0 storyline, however more than a two min cutscene would be nice as you mention. That should apply to all former companions. I agree with you though a 2 minuet is probably what we will get if that. As for Jadus, while I can see potential for this character who we know is still out there and far better than rewriting history by bringing back a dead character like Malgus, I just feel that this only works for the agents story myself, but sure if done correctly could work.
I think only the world-building part of your post makes sense to me, just not really in favour of your personal idea of what world building should be. My only real hope at this point is that BW don't gave in yet again to the whims of players.

I agree with everything Andryah has said in this thread. Yes it would be nice if individual hackers and cheats could be prosecuted and got something more than just an account ban. Which lets face it is nothing more than a very minor inconvenience to the hacker/cheat. These arrests that are mentioned by the OP are not going to be on that level, mainly organized syndicates. Still there may be a few cheats here that may fall into that category but seems unlikely. Still any such news as what's in the OP is still interesting and is still positive news.

Jenny, when I saw all the furor about Conquest...I had the same reaction.
Even with the explanation I can't see what the big deal about it is, how it has changed, or why people would go to the efforts they do for it. I'm fully aware that there's something I'm missing or perhaps the rewards involved aren't things I personally value in the game. It's one of those things that confuse me.
LOL, Ok there's not really that much in it. However if your guild ends up in any week in the top 10 other than achievements and having your guild flagged/named as the conquer of which ever planet/area it is there are other benefits. Mainly all guild members who took part and reached the personal conquest goal gets 1 guild ship floor plan. OK not much I know but if you had 70 members enter well that's 70 plans all the way up to what is it 500, 1000? If your guild wants to open up there guild ship it really is the best way to do it, Remember that some quests ask you to take enemy commander which could drop a guild ship floor frame (you need 4 frames to open 1 door. each frame is 50 floor plans) So there can be real incentives for guilds. Also get decorations for either personal stronghold or guilds, or both if you wish. Or just sell, plus Jawa metal, command points, credits.
For guilds that don't make the top ten, well still a few credits, decorations, jawa metal and command points. The metal could be used towards getting floor plans as well or personal use. Though long winded to get floor plans that way. Possible though as I had opened two doors on my guild ship that way. that's quell to 400 floor plans. With the recent change to conquests getting floor plans via jawa metal cost twice as much. As in its gone from 40 to 80. you get just 10 per character for each that reached conquest personal goal. Also now reaching that personal conquest goal is much harder and not alt friendly at all. So fully understand the complaints.
Any other reason to do them? well that depends on your point of view. To me I do heroic's anyway so as I am doing them if I get conquest points OK, if I reach the personal goal I get something for nothing. If doing heroics and don't reach said goal what have I lost? Well nothing, so why not. Solo players like me not a downside. For group players something else to do as a group most of conquests are probably what you were going to do anyway as many flashpoints, uprising and operations are included in weekly conquests.

When they made datacrons one time only per server/legacy. They lost all interest for me. All it did was take away things to do in game. New ones may be OK but really a lot of effort for what will be just a few mins to do, and do only once. well maybe up to 5 times if you play on all servers. If new ones are added OK, it's not like I'm going to make compliant threads about it, but personally I would prefer BW spent there time on other areas of the game.

Not read past your opening post Eric. Until 5.9 come's out it really is to early to tell if these changes are a step forward or not. However I do believe you are at least taking what has been mentioned by the forum community and doing something about it. We are all different and you won't please all of us, but do appreciate the effort. It may have been better to have left conquests alone, but what's done is done. You have mentioned some areas that will be more solo friendly in 5.9 and will see if this helps put conquests back as a viable part of the game for solo players like myself.
One question I still have is about the dark project in crafting. Are you going to put back the 2nd one you removed or not? Or can you lower the cost of the newer isotope from the Jawa peddler to the same as the isotope that was removed? Sorry but cannot remember the actual full names of them. I used to make these for my guildship. Now it's twice as costly to make them as it was before. Small guilds are never going to be in the top 10 so don't get ship plans that way. So crafting was the only way to get them. No not going to pay others for them, before some ones says buy them of GTN.

I still think that if its Sith vs Jedi again (Republic vs Imperial) it's like taking a step backwards and just going over old ground. I wonder how they will sort out companions if that happens? Still it's good that a 6.0 is being talked about now by BW. Not that it will stop the game is dying threads going forward. Probably be a new one by Monday morning.

Well Euphrosyne I think you are being just as silly, childish and selfish. BTW was not saying it should not go back to how it was before as I had a few issues with it but only a few, but that's not what the OP is asking for is it? just special privileges for group players. Still he did ask for any ideas and has plenty of chances to update he's requests. As for the rest of your post:
" because Conquest was never geared toward solo players"
I have been doing conquest for 2+ years. Never had much of an issue before as a solo player. So was geared towards all.
"(until the unintended consequences of the heroic mission change).
Unintended? What consequences?
I mean really consequences? So sorry did not realise the sky was falling yet again because added heroics to conquests. Sorry also did not know you were BW's spokesperson either and know what's unintended or intended. Well the conquests as it is now was done by BW so must be intended. Does not stop you demanding changes, does it?
" Conquest was an activity designed to retain players"
Again so sorry did not realise I was not a player of this game. Well gee learn something new every day. Yes am being snarky myself now but you know you are kinda asking for it big time. This game was and still is advertised as a solo friendly game. Which is why I started playing 4 years ago. Of course that does not mean its unfriendly to group players either, but that does not mean that solo players can't play or are unwelcome. Is your monthly sub more than mine that you feel you are extra special and deserve more than others? I can live with that BTW if BW are charging you more than me. If not well....not OK.
" I'm being snarky about solo players"
Well you know what, that part of your post I don't mind because I hate you group players equally as much.
Like the OP I agree conquests needs more work, but should be fixed for all of SWTOR customers not just a few who think they are a special case. Despite what I said about group players, I know not all are like you. It was however players like you as to why I dislike group players so much. So BW fix for all or don't bother fixing it at all.
Quotes underlined are all Euphrosyne

I'm more interested in what not included. Such as are character slots included? instant level 60, 65 or the new Master Datacron level 70? Cosmetics? species? Treek? Extra GNT, Cargo, Legacy banks/slots or any unlocks you can presently buy from cartel.
I like the idea but really saying can include every cartel item really should mean EVERY. Otherwise a list of items not included should be made available. If all the above are included, then sure may buy a few.

Crafting is a solo activity. Have fun.
With the changes to crafting, solo-able yes, worth doing now NO. You can do all what's in the OP's post now as a group. Don't see you making sarky comments on that. You get far more points doing any of them than you do using crafting to get conquest points even as a one time only. So I stand by my last post. If the OP is only asking for changes for groups then BW can keep it as it is.
-
If you are not including anything in your list for solo players then BW can keep it as it is now. Broken yes, but at least it's broken for everyone and not just solo players, as it would be going by your post.
"If anyone has more to add to this list please do."
Why yes add solo-able items to your list.
-
A poor way of doing it though, even if I have only re-subbed for one month on this account to get them. Still there was enough belly acing a few months back about these two companions that at least some will be happy about it. I have these two on my other accounts already just not this one. I do feel though that BW should have just offered two different ones. Maybe Darth Marr & Acina, or Satele Shan, I am sure there are many other options out there, such as a certain Wookie and droid. Still I agree with the OP it is nice to see free rewards again.

As a solo player, I have gone down to just one character per sever being able to complete the personal conquest objective. Not good at all. Also feel that the cartel decoration(s) I paid real money for to get the conquest bonus was a total waste. Also I never understood the reason behind this "One-time - Can be completed one time, per Legacy, per Conquest" I would assume that most players would have both Republic and Imperial characters. OK not all players will but I'd be willing to bet more do than don't. Seems illogical to me in having this set up. Sure safeguards would need to be set up to stop guild jumping but still. Crafting weeks was only every what 1 in 4? was it really that bad? It took me 3 weeks just to gather enough mats across the different skills just to do that one week. The removal of the original Dark Project was also a poor decision.
Overall very disappointed in the new conquest system. As a solo player BW has yet again removed an element of the game form me.

Killing companions is OK by me if it’s the player’s choice. I don't think it should be forced upon the player even if you have a choice of which one of two comps to kill. So not happy with at least one of the resent chapters. As for companions that could be killed not having a part of future storylines? Yes, this is a fair point but one I was always expecting when players have any sort of choice. Realistically BW was never going to be able to write a thousand and one different options for every viable choice made by every player. So it was always a case of do you want a choice or not? If not then agreed no companions should be allowed to be killed. If yes, Then those possible killable companions will have little to no further story. That’s the price you pay as a player.

You moved all the servers to the East Coast, Why?
Why would you abandon APAC players? If the ping/latency isn’t a problem as you claim for everyone that has been forced from the West Coast to the East Coast ( APAC players exempt) then why not bring the East Coast servers to the West Coast and save the APAC players?
It makes no sense. You went the wrong direction. This looks so bad. No consideration for the community as a whole. Even from a logical standpoint this doesn’t make sense, because servers in VA can’t be saving you much if any from servers in Texas.
What the heck happen? Seriously consider moving to West Coast if you want to stay consolidated. Or just put a West Coast locates server back. We are losing friends that we have played with for 5 + years.
Don’t divide us, Unite us!
Why not East Coast?
Servers were asked to be merged. BW has done so in the best way they could for them as a ongoing business. The assumption that it would go the way all those that were asking for a merge was just that an assumption. They have done the merge in such a way that has the least impact on players. The least impact does not mean no impact at all. Some were always going to lose out. Would it be better to have a US server in both locations, sure it would. Is it cost affective for BW/EA? clearly not. You should always be careful what you ask for.
As for dividing you? how so? you'll still be on the same server as your friends after the merge as you were before, unless you stop playing or transfer your characters.
Reading though a few pages at random on the general forums, players come and go all the time. Yes some may well quit over this, but I am sure some quit over the merge as well. It seems to me you only care how this affects you. You never cared if others lose out.
As a new player I came to the forums to see if or how to get a group to try and get the free Sith companion. After just reading though a few pages here, I don't think I will bother. I don't think I have ever been to any forum that is so off putting to new players as this one is. I think I left it far to late to get into this game. Servers downsizing is the beginning of the end anyway.
Oh don't bother replying to this post, won't be back to read it anyway. As this is my first and last post.
