Unless you had billions in guild bank and a czerka crate, then it's just a terrible tragedy.

I appreciate the different perspective, but I already did my check list way before making this thread. Glad you can login but that isn't what the thread is about. Can't wait to have an issue effect you and I come up and say doesn't effect me, winky face. Seriously, probably won't be around if it does, but maybe you're giving me a reason too hang around now, lol.

I feel for the OP, but maybe it's possible that one of the patches caused a glitch. Also, it's possible the GM role was switched during inactivity without OP knowing it so he logged into the wrong character. I wouldn't necessarily trust human memory on this unless they were playing consistently but he already said he wasn't. Really sorry to hear that this happened though, remember that everything can be built back.

The other thread is getting muddled, so I want to see how many people have not been able to play since the last patch. It's been over a week and it's starting to look like the devs are going to gloss over this despite them saying they are still looking into it (we all know what that really means though). Maybe this thread will show them what they're doing is NOT a good look. You would think a issue like this would require a rollback but what's a few to the many, right? All I can say is the quick play issue did not effect me, although I have gave my support to the people effected by it, and that went the way this is currently. My point, it doesn't effect you now but something that will later and you'll be in this situation next. This is the result you can expect. Show some support here too if you can. Anyways, I hate to be one of the those guys but I have every reason to be, I will be cancelling soon enough.

I just want to ask, do people know what you're doing when you run a process as admin? That's not just a user name thing.

If I understand your question correctly, the best healer right now are commandos/mercenaries. Operatives are also good but have a steeper learning curve. Honestly, good luck if you intend to climb the ranks in solo as heals. Currently DPS is king so you're more reliant on your team than ever before.

I will never understand why there does not seem to be any urgency to solve this issue. I know they are working on it but it would be nice to know a patch to fix this is coming soon since I have not been able to log in since the latest patch. It's just like the quick play bug, they expected us to find the workaround for them and carry on like nothing has happened; which by the way I do not think they fixed, correct? I am starting to get worried that this will not get solved as well due to the workaround that doesn't even work for everybody.

Can confirm after clicking PLAY, nothing happens, not using Steam either. Please fix ASAP.

I (sort of) know what you mean. That's why I will always feel that a change to the scoring system in rank is needed, making it medal based which puts more control into the players and NOT match making. I made multiple threads about it. If the people on top are all dps I can definitely see it being legit. A top 3 DPS player is more than capable to carry a bad team mate or two. Tanks might have a harder time but more than capable. Healers it is impossible to climb legit by randomly queuing in current state. If all things are equal though then yeah it is quite suspect. Having to deal with a low population, random team members, a faulty match making system, punishing losses when in higher tiers (losing +25 points), and class/role unbalance, one has to wonder how the top 3 are so lucky. However role, skill, luck, and playing smarter not harder (that is avoiding certain players good or bad) will help mitigate some issues allowing them to reach top 3 legit.

Child it wasn't the die hards coming in here saying that. Just because we post here doesn't mean we are die hard pvpers. Only people that wanted vote kick removed were the casuals who felt that it was abused by the die hards and they were the ones praising it. No one asked for deserter debuff for regs either, it just happened in the name of combating toxicity. I can only think of two people who actively praise desserter debuff, rest hates it or indifferent (at least until map selection). My point was to correct op that the changes weren't made for the "die hards." It sort of feels the opposite in my opinion. But if we really want to argue this, then we need to define die hards I suppose since your definition is obviously different from mine.

I hate seeing anyone go, but hopefully you gave it a good look before running off. You may find it's not as bad as it seems. Also, these changes were NOT done for the die hard pvp'ers. Quite the opposite considering the die hards hated vote kick removal and just about no one was asking for a deserter debuff for regs. Honestly I do not know who the changes are for but the why of it was to combat toxicity in pvp. Your mileage on success may vary on that.

Got ya, thanks for clearing that up!

"Players can no longer avoid exhaustion zones." Huh? Does that mean instant drop or something?

I'm glad they are doing something and I thank them for their time however most of the changes are bug fixes (which they should be fixing without request) and most others no one was asking for like the deserter debuff for regs. The two most TALKED about request on the list being gear requirement and vote kick removal were split in my opinion, neither of those effect me in anyway what so ever though. The only thing I am requesting is a change to solo rank scoring, made multiple threads about it. The most simple request I can ask for is keep the deserter debuff changes for rank but remove it for regs entirely. Regs should stay casual and loose.

How is it wasting your time if it's not directed at you? Simply ignore them and move on, right? Problem is, the people that are like you are the people that come here screaming bloody murder that chat is nothing but misogyny, racism and spam. For the most part, racism & abuse is all but gone THANKFULLY since devs started caring again. So I rather not put any wrong impression in the dev's head because the needle will always be moved too far in one direction. If they listen to the people who treat ignore like a Amazon wish list soon enough we will probably have to solve a captcha every time you want to speak in chat then have a moderator approval afterwards. Legacy ignore is a good step forward and swift punishment for actual abuse, harassment, and racism is really all that is needed. I am not saying chat is clean but it is definitely easy to gloss over.

I 100% support this! I feel like there's no cons because those that want the exploration xp can opt out of not unlocking it. I can't stand unlocking Alderaan for the 20th time! If it was 10mil per unlock I will still do it for that planet I do not care. Sometimes it hurts to be a completionist. Hoth is definitely the second worst! It would be first but Alderaan is full of so much lag for me but it is pretty to look at unlike Hoth.

Thank you for the specific examples. Can I ask you, the dps that screams GO GO GO, do you ever tell them to chill out or do you just immediately go nope and put them on ignore? Ignore is often one sided. Ultimately, I doubt either parties want anything to do with each other eventually though, so you're right in the long run. I'm also not complaining about ignore or even legacy ignore, I just want to have a gauge on how the general community feels about the playerbase's sensitivity AND how people are filling their ignore list. And this is what I was talking about when I mention my general assumption on how people were filling their ignore list. What's being said in chat where you won't even have it appear on screen? I have a feeling none of it was even directed to you. Feel free to ignore as many as you can, I am not dissuading you not to. It only bothers me if the devs let you control the state of expression. Is your perfect chat about the weather and adverts? lol

If people just put anyone's legacy on ignore indiscriminately, it cuts us off from each other. Great if you're being abused by a person, silly if you ignored someone because they asked you POLITELY to defend (yes this does happen). I read numerous other inane examples of being put on ignore. Anyways, this isn't a sky is falling thread. I doubt they will be any noticeable difference. The only change might be some "friendships" when they find out the troll they hate is also their in-game bestie, lol.

What do people think if they did increase it? Too busy with renown? Personally, it would be nice to see the legacy xp bar move again and new perks to go along with that. Some suggestions I have are... - New tier upgrade where each purchasable rank increases your chance to NOT be knocked off your mount. - A single upgrade that greatly reduces your aggro radius if you out level the planet by 10 or more. - PURCHASABLE MAP UNLOCKS (if we have the achievements). Anyone else have anything they would like to see?

Last I heard they plan on a menu where you can filter wz maps, but that won't help your situation much. I doubt they will ever implement a separate system that you described due to the pop not being robust enough. Anyways, I get it. We get into bad groups sometimes, it's worsened by the fact that we can't leave it anymore imo. If they remove the debuff I think most of us can handle bad groups again as it's just more glaring with it.

Personally all those are so simple for me to just gloss over, don't understand why people bother wasting time on it. However, let people do whatever they want with their ignore list, but if you have a full list and want more room maybe it's time to look in the mirror. Ah thank you, didn't even think about PvE being a reason why a ignore list would be reaching max. If they do the same for PvP I can imagine my ignore list being near full too, lol. Just be mindful, sometimes a player is learning a class/role but exceptional on another. Put them on legacy ignore and you shut them down 100% and we just disassociate from each other. The cycle will continue until we are just playing with ourselves, lol.

Seriously how many of you are planning to use it because you're personally harassed? How many will use it because they hate a person in gen chat for simply mentioning politics? How many like legacy ignore because this is the perfect way to get the last word in? By the way, all acceptable uses of it, but some of those reasons just make you seem like a cry baby versus a victim. People here say their ignore list is full, but how? Did that many people harass you or annoy you? If it's the former, I'm sorry for you. If it's the latter, then maybe you can mellow out a little bit. Do not get me wrong I am 100% all for legacy ignore, removing vote kick, and more the devs are doing to combat toxicity. With that said, I hope they do not go too far with it and turn the game into a bland sterile environment to cater to the people who log in just to make sure no one has a different thought or play style. C'mon someone legit wanted players to be banned for throwing snowballs which is on a cool down timer anyway.

Oh nice! I was looking for something like that! I was left confused why no one was talking about it since it was on PTS and everyone had so many questions, lol. Thanks again!

Hoping someone on PTS who tested this will let us know how it works exactly. The devs didn't answer any questions about it in their own thread. Biggest question on everyone's mind is if you choose to ignore someone, do you see all their alts? Does it reveal legacy name to the player? How is it even implemented, do you have a choice to ignore player or ignore legacy? Thanks to anyone from PTS explaining.

Also wanted to add that it's NOT just level 26 stims. It's higher levels as well. This is on all vendors on various planets including any stim vendor on fleet.
