It was already quoted and linked to on this thread, but here it is again : Unable to login into SWTOR - Page 28 - Bug Reports - SWTOR | Forums They said "later this week" on March 25, and still not a word. I'm not exactly sure what the "as stated before" refers to, but it might have been this : Game Log in Troubleshooting Guide - General Discussion - SWTOR | Forums No, they did not say that they would merely talk about maybe doing something to make up for the lost time. They said that they had an actual plan that they were working on to compensate players for the time they were unable to log in to the game.

They already did. As has been pointed out multiple times, the company stated last month that they were going to compensate players for the lost time. How about the developers telling the players that they would give them compensation? That seems like a fairly good cut-off.

Those might have been legitimate questions to ask ... IF the developers had not already promised to compensate the player community for the lost time. When they said last month "we are working on compensating impacted players regarding lost time," I'm fairly sure that the community saw that as a promise of compensation. It is certainly not "unneeded" for them to keep their promises. Since they said that they would compensate players, it is too late to be arguing that they shouldn't have to. Doesn't really matter to me, this is my last day, but I do understand why other players are ticked off.

I know the feeling. I did that, too. Both of the other SW:TOR players in my household cancelled their subscriptions after the removal of the Reputation track from Galactic Seasons, the obliteration of the value of "Advancement : Reputation," and that lame "We swear, it just slipped our minds" excuse they gave us for why they didn't mention these changes in the Patch Notes or anywhere else prior to the game update. At the end of March, against my better judgment, I renewed my subscription for one more month, in the hopes that they might do something to rectify this situation. I should have known better. I actually thought that they would announce a "compromise," say that they've listened to our feedback and give us back a small portion of the Conquest points for "Advancement : Reputation." I never believed I would be satisfied with that, but it turned out, they didn't even do that much. The increase in Conquest values for Heroic Missions was all well and good, if you can get past the fact that increasing the amount of boring grinding in the game is exactly why many of us were upset at the nerf in the first place. But you know, they could have kept "Advancement : Reputation" where it was and also increased the Conquest rewards for Heroic Missions. To this day, I still don't see how nerfing that Conquest Objective improved the game-playing experience. All the nerf did was make the game more tedious and boring. Well, my subscription runs out in just a matter of hours, and I probably won't be back before it does, so this is my good-bye. To my friends who are still in the game, it's been a blast. I might come back to this game at some point in the future, just for old time's sake, nostalgia, but I'm not counting on it. Good luck to the rest of you. For as long as it lasted, this was a great game.

If I'm not mistaken, unlocking the Cyborg species in a Legacy makes all of the Cybernetic appearances available to all Origin Stories in that Legacy. Without the unlock, each Origin Story only has some of the Cybernetics options available to it.

That was the option that everybody in my household went with. <Shrug> Oh, well, what can you do?

My advice to everybody is to complete your transfers before the 30th day, or even the 29th. First of all, any time that an MMORPG tells you that something will last until a certain date, always assume that they mean up to BUT NOT INCLUDING that date. In this case, if the last day is April 10, then assume that it will end on April 10 some time right after midnight, which means that for all practical purposes, April 9 was the actual last day. I have had to learn and re-learn that lesson more times than I care to think about while playing MMORPGs, including this one. Second, even if you have a specific date and time that something will last to, figure that it will end early with no explanation given, because a fair amount of time, it will. Better safe than sorry. Complete your transfers ahead of the supposed ending date.

That kind of reminded me of something that a friend of mine who used to play SW:TOR did recently, when she decided to quit the game. Her subscription's recurring billing was with Paypal. Now, she could have just logged in to her SW:TOR account and cancelled the subscription, but instead, she went out of her way to log in to her Paypal account, to terminate its recurring payment to Electronic Arts. She said it was because she didn't trust the people running this game to cancel her subscription and not charge her again. ... No, she wasn't kidding.

Whenever my download got stuck, I just closed the window and launched it again. Sometimes I had to do it three or four times, but eventually it finished.

Anybody even want to try to guess what this means?

Sigh. I was totally addicted to World of Warcraft for a long time before I left it for Star Wars : The OId Republic. It's not nearly as immersive. An interaction with an NPC amounts to reading some text and pressing a button instead of a fully animated, voiced-over cutscene ... but, on the other hand, at least Blizzard's team gives you something to DO.

I'm not denying that. I'm just saying the option exists. When I first started playing the game, a long time ago and on an older account, I would buy items with Cartel Coins and sold them for Credits. I stopped doing that a while back, after increases in real world cost of living made real money a lot more valuable to me than in-game Credits. But if somebody is willing to buy a Stronghold with Cartel Coins, they could do this with a character transfer.

As I understand it, if you bought a Stronghold on the origin server with Credits, then you'll have to buy the Stronghold all over again on the destination server. But if you bought the Stronghold on the origin server with a different currency, like Cartel Coins, then you won't need to buy the Stronghold again on the destination server. You just have to reactivate it and redecorate it. At least, that's what it says in the EA Help. Star Wars: The Old Republic - STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ Character Transfers (ea.com) So you could buy a Stronghold on one server with Cartel Coins, and then reactivate it on the destination server after you complete the character transfer. I believe that it's free to reactivate a Stronghold bought with Cartel Coins. That way, you could get Strongholds on both servers and only have to pay the Cartel Coin cost once. At least, I think that's how it works.

A friend of mine in the game had an interesting take on that whole "You only needed to click a token to get 43,000 points" claim. He said it was like saying that you can get a Commercial Driver's License in a couple of hours - the length of time required to take the test for the license. Because the time required to actually learn how to drive a truck somehow "doesn't count."

Well, it was a while ago, so maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Here's the thing : The Conquest Objectives and Galactic Seasons Objectives were on two separate tabs inside the Conquest tab in the Log. I seem to recall trying to check the week's Galactic Seasons Objectives while I was on a newly created character on Ord Mantell, and being unable to do so. The entire Conquest tab was totally blocked out to me because my character wasn't Level 10 yet. The reason I remember it is because I was VERY surprised when I killed some enemies in Drelliad Village and wound up completing the "Still Got It" objective. I had assumed that since i couldn't even look up the objectives on this character, that I wouldn't be able to do them, either. ETA : I'm pretty sure that was during Galactic Season 2. I remember summoning Fen Zeil on that character at some point later on, and I only ever did that during Galactic Season 2.
