Semiramis Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi Eric! Please tell us when a new bugfix-patch arrives. I ask, because for our guild its almost impossible to raid, because half of the members have chosen the "wrong" side and can not form an OP-group for Tyth. This bug is the most annoying one! Please, don't let us hanging! Thank you in advance! Otrada (Ebon Hawk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otrada (Ebon Hawk) As a temporary workaround that my guild has done, you can organize everyone to choose the same side (after they've done the story). You can change it once per day as long as you haven't done any quests for the day. It won't affect the story, so the members that care about that won't have that affected. Yeah it's a pain, but at least until they fix it, there is a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 You can change it once per day as long as you haven't done any quests for the day.Many people are affected by a bug that prevent you from changing sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balameb Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Many people are affected by a bug that prevent you from changing sides. Many people? Are there actually people that can change sides? I mean, i know that after story if you played empire you can choose Rep after you finish. But after that choice, has someone been able to change? If so, any Iokath mission still active? I tried removing everything exept the Op and the Weekly. Now, i was expecting a patch this tuesday. The number of bugs and issues that 5.2 started seems too high to ignore for over a week.

You have to remove the weekly quest, and possibly the ops quest too. You can't have any quests you accepted while being attuned to the 'wrong' side in your log. Otherwise you'll just get kicked out of the group when yout ry to enter the ops. If you STILL can't change faction after removing all Iokath quests from your log, then you're affected by the bug, sadly.

I dont get the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Awoke Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 In order to switch sides each day, you have to remove all Iokath dailies that you might be holding and then switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionflash Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 ... to perform back-end server maintenance. what is back-end maintenance? does it improve lag & stability and stuff? is it a good thing?

Dev Post EricMusco Posted April 25, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted April 25, 2017 hey folks, Maintenance is taking longer than expected and will need to be extended by 1 hour. I will continue to pass on updates as I have them. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's ok, I always get used to the servers being down after an hour or two anyway. I'm going to perform maintenance on my desk in the meantime. Holy smokes it's dusty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexzil Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 so we get to play in about 4 or 5 more hours?? still wondering why i still pay for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casirabit Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 How do you know that they are merging east coast servers? I doubt that is the case as they would tell people upfront due to the guilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelenUmeria Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I doubt that is the case as they would tell people upfront due to the guilds. The game is in maintenance mode. I doubt they care if they upset people at this stage. The large guilds are mostly gone from the EC servers. My own guild has gone from 600+ accounts between rep and imp to 45 accounts since KOTET dropped. Most were hoping it would get better after KOTFE and they just made it 10 times worse.

Well I would care as I am in a guild on Ebon Hawk and so would a lot of people due to the fact some have guild ships and guild strongholds besides guild banks and if they did a merger without informing anyone and fixing where guilds and their items can be transferred with no problems not to mention my personal strongholds I do care about upsetting people because you fuss about people leaving, you honestly think if they did a merger without informing people that it would be a good idea?
