  1. There were 3 weeks between end of Season 3/start of Season 4 and end of Season 4/start of Season 5. The breaks between the earlier seasons were longer than 3 weeks (see https://swtorista.com/articles/swtor-galactic-seasons-guide-and-rewards/). The devs haven't announced when GS 6 will go live but at this point it's clear there will be at least 4 weeks between end of Galactic Seasons 5 and start of GS 6.
  2. Jackie Ko stated last May that Preferred accounts were not intended to have forums access. Please let us know if you are aware of a more recent statement indicating otherwise.
  3. OwenBrooks is the expert however I noticed your Windows installation recognizes two display devices, the integrated Intel HD 530 your i7-6820HK CPU has and your Nvidia Titan card. You might try looking at your Graphics Settings in Windows and setting swtor.exe to use your Titan card. The web page linked below has step-by-step instructions if you need them. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090168/graphics.html
  4. Why do you think you can dictate what other players do? At least you took the correct course of action by quitting the FP instead of trying to kick the person you thought was not spacebarring thru the conversations. I got kicked in the second of three cutscene dialogs of Kaon Under Siege when another group member told the group to play the FP in story mode if they wanted to watch the cutscenes. When I informed/reminded the complainer that KUS doesn't have a story mode they took that to mean I was the one that did not spacebar thru the second cutscene and initiated a vote kick which someone else in the group confirmed and I, the one with highest damage output in the group by far, got kicked with one cutscene left in the FP. Only problem is I was space barring. I really wonder if they had to endure waiting for the length of the entire cutscene left or if me getting kicked got the player that was not using spacebar in cutscenes to change their behavior. I'd like to think they didn't change and still watched the entire final cutscene as poetic justice.
  5. Yes. Field Respecialization perk is per character, not account-wide. Selecting it from the Combat Style tab of your Character window doesn't show that. However if you go to your Legacy window the Field Respecialization perk is listed under the Character Perks section in the bottom right corner under Convenience.
  6. Again with this. Who was asking for a fresh start experience? Nobody I know of. Eric Musco was the first to mention the possibility of a fresh start server last May. I'm not sure what the deal is with APAC players such as yourself and others blaming EU & US players for "wanting" a fresh start experience. I've seen no evidence fresh start server was a requested thing. As best I can determine the fresh start server idea originated with the devs, not the players. The devs were the ones that decided to roll out fresh experience, not the EU & US players. I get APAC players are not happy with the way Shae Vizla was rolled out but let's try not to scapegoat other players for dev team decisions.
  7. The Galactic Command Dark Side and Galactic Command Light Side vendors should stay since there are players that still have dark side and light side tokens to spend. If it's so important to reclaim that space (not that I'm convinced it's important) then their inventory of items available for purchase should be moved to the Light Side and Dark Side vendors that are next to them. Under no circumstances should those items no longer be available to purchase so long as there are players in the game that have the currency that can be used to purchase these items.
  8. In my couple of experiences the error was incorrect. The first time it happened I tried paying for 60-day non-recurring subscription twice more before I gave up. Then I found my credit card had been charged a total of three times for the cost of a 60-day sub. The second time it happened I remembered what happened the first time, waited a bit and checked my credit card to find that the charge was successful. But maybe there is a problem with your card. Who can say for sure but EA support and/or your credit card issuer?
  9. Who asked for a fresh start server? I don't recall any players asking for that. I think the first I noticed any mention of a fresh start server for SWTOR was Eric Musco post in 2023 May. I've seen a few players asking for SWTOR "Classic" but of course that is not what Shae Vizla is since it's not an earlier version of SWTOR like 1.0 or 3.0. I thought the "fresh start server" idea was what the devs wanted to do, not what players were asking for. However now that fresh start Shae Vizla happened the idea of a fresh start server that doesn't have any economic baggage clearly has its supporters amongst the SWTOR player base. Apparently they are not enough to keep Shae Vizla bustling with activity though.
  10. Hello and welcome to SWTOR. If the flashpoint mission has [STORY] in its name then it's a version of the flashpoint that is designed for solo play with one of your companions, not for groups with other players.
  11. I just successfully logged into the SWTOR game client. If you have played SWTOR recently without any problems then I think it's likely you have some type of disruption in your internet connection to the SWTOR servers.
  12. I just logged into SWTOR without any problem. My guess is you have some sort of internet connectivity issue. I'm not sure how to tell you to troubleshoot though when I can't sucessfully ping launchpad.swtor.com after SWTOR servers' migration to AWS.
  13. Interesting. When launch of BioWare Austin studio was announced in 2006 March the announcement also mentioned the studio was working on an unannounced MMORPG. In 2006 August BioWare announced it had licensed Hero Engine from then-owner Simutronics. So if what you're saying is true then SWTOR development team at the time continued with a single player design and and just made 8 single player design games into one and apparently by the time they recognized the challenges this presented the sunk cost was already too high and they had no other viable choice but to continue on with a design that hampered long term development. All I'm expecting from the February livestream is Galactic Seasons 6 info. Not really expecting anything else even though there may be more to the stream than GS 6. To be blunt, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with your post. If it made you feel better to express your frustrations with SWTOR's development decisions over the past few years or so and offer your ideas for you to make the game more how you and perhaps others want it to be then that is about all it did and will do. Yes, 7.0 and 10th anniversary did not go well. It's so much water under the bridge. When I consider the changes made to the game with 7.0 to present time I see a pattern of decisions that point to a goal of making SWTOR easier for the dev team to manage. Ability pruning, elimination of ranked PvP, elimination of 16-player support for future operations (if any) coupled with the transition of the dev team from its original studio to a different studio and reported downsizing of the SWTOR dev team as part of this process. You apparently want the game to go back to what it was in the past. I just don't see that as a realistic possibility. My unsolicited advice to you is to play and pay for SWTOR if you get sufficient enjoyment out of the game. If SWTOR doesn't provide sufficient value, however you determine that value, then look at your other gaming options, like ESO that you refer to, and try those instead to see if they provide sufficient value for you to play and potentially pay for. You and others that continually refer to the devs not listening are simply beating the proverbial dead horse. I think the devs listen but they often can't do what players want them to.
  14. I am able to click on Repair All button to repair my character's gear at any vendor. The Repair tab is greyed out and inaccessible. Is this what everyone is experiencing? You can use Repair All but are unable to access the Repair tab at vendors? I haven't used the ability to repair individual items in years. I've only used the Repair All button so I'm not sure how the Repair tab is actually supposed to work anymore.
  15. I am generally opposed to these suggestions. Some players, such as myself, still have characters with light and/or dark side tokens we can use to purchase items from the Galactic Command Dark Side and Galactic Command Light Side vendors on fleet if we want. With respect to moving the Dark vs Light achievements from Events to Retired Achievements section, I'm not opposed to that only if the 300 achievement points are retained. However since everything else listed in Retired Achievements section had their achievement points zeroed out my expectation is the dev team would do the same to the DvL achievements and I'm staunchly opposed to this. 1) The Dark vs Light event ran during the second half of 2016 and has nothing to do with the banners in question. 2) The Dark vs Light system used in the game starting with 5.0 I believe is what awarded light side or dark side tokens that could be used to purchase items from the dark side and light side vendors on fleet. 3) The pictured banners were awarded for defeating all the bosses for a specific alignment. These bosses only appeared when their affiliated alignment reached victory condition on the server. The dev team indicated they would look for a way to bring back the DvL bosses from the system after the system's removal but that hasn't happened and at this point I think it's likely that plan has been shelved and is no longer active.
