Glad you're still going! You'll be caught up soon enough. As far as The Republic goes, it's still running, they're just slow in updating.

That post originally stated that Season 5 (not 4) would have the rating floor, leading readers to believe that you were going to bring the floor in after Season 4. Presumably that was a typo that you subsequently corrected a couple of days after the original post was made. That's fine. But in future, it'd be great if you could do a staff post indicating that something of substance had been changed, so that people who'd read your original post and moved on were aware of it. (I'm not just relying on memory here: I took a copy of the original post for our podcast's show notes; you can also see the original text referring to Season 5 having the floor in several replies later in that thread.)

OotiniCast Episode 189 In this week's news-focused show, we go over the final details for Game Update 3.1, the publication of Bruce Maclean's roadmap for 2015, a teaser for the Season 4 rewards, and the cancellation of Shadow Realms.

A great question! We thought she bugged like that when someone kept attacking her once she'd decided to make a run for it. Is the "Bridge Crew" referring to the deck guns? Curious minds want to know!

Thanks mate! We'll give you and your guilds a shout out in the next show. For when you eventually get there. White a marathon to get through our back catalogue...

OotiniCast Episode 187 Lots of news from the Community Cantina that was held at PAX South last week! Then in our discussion, we go through some community opinions on what BioWare should do in response to "that" exploit.

Note that this thread reported the issue on 21 Dec last year.

That's awesome! Makes me wonder if that's what they intended, but presumably not. Stopping Jakarro from getting Impale makes much more sense.

When I did the fight early this week, Jakarro received the Impale debuff (blue circle) and kept on beating on Darok, even though Arkous was still up (because the group was focusing on Darok). A player with the blue circle got grappled in and insta-died. I'm guessing that what you observed was just coincidence; Jakarro does seem to randomly switch between them, regardless of whether he receives the Impale debuff.

Note that this encounter remains bugged as described as of Patch 4.0.2a. It'd be *really* nice to get this fixed at some point! Every group I'm in now burns Darok first, and we battle rez anyone killed when they have Impale and Darok grapples them in while an Impaled Jakarro is beating on him. If it's the healer and there's no other battle rez, the group tends to wipe. An unavoidable insta-death mechanic is no fun.
