Xina_LA Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) The day the machines were working after the server patch day -- * Only two of the machines were working when the server first came back up. * Lines formed at those machines, as people took turns using them. They kept working for a bit, as I was 4th in line. I managed to use up all 5 of my tokens. It broke just a couple of minutes after I finished and someone else started gambling. They really need to have more than 3 machines, even when they're working. It's ridiculous to stand in line.

I mean the place is huge as it is so that shouldn't be a problem at least people did stand in line... on imp side they just stood on top of each other and clicked like maniacs and even activated some vendors (Darth Revan statue) so peeps would click the wrong thing ... needless to say, the machine broke within minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khartu Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Still broken with 6.1.2d patch. The patch was largely to fix them so don't know what else remains broken but the slots still are broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post CommunityTeam Posted July 28, 2020 Dev Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi Khartu, Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, the last patch 6.1.2d didn't fix the Emperor Grace Slot machine bug. Our team is currently looking into it. We'll update you when we have more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undies Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Feedback regarding the troublesome Emperor Slot Machine: Make Emperor Slot Machine a Decoration for Stronghold. If it breaks in a stronghold, players can pick it up and place it back down again. To get it, create vendor by the main vendors for nightlife that has the deco for 1 credit, can have a maximum of 10. I won't assume any level of difficulty of making this a slot machine deco, such as the Contraband Slot Machine. Just ask for considering it in looking at ways to fix. My experience was that I was lined up waiting awhile because they broke fast and only a few remained working. The experience wasn't very fun because it took a few weeks for the update, and so several folks had saved up a lot of tokens (myself included, about 50). In short: I don't think the three slot machines will cut it now, similar to the benefit of having the Contraband slot machines when nightlife came our originally.

CountPain Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I just had a griefer come in to try to break one in my instance on the starforge server and i think maybe a personal phase or a SH deco would help fixing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was clicking and there was a line behind me, and someone cut in as next in line right infront of Swtorista. Felt bad for her lol. At this point, it will get worse and worse as people are more selfishly trying to finish and get the mount. so the cutting and fighting over the 3 nodes per instance is going to get crazy.

ironkevin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If you can't make it a house deco item please add more machines. The side air ships on the promenade have other slots there, add the emp machines there. Add 5 more emp slots in star cluster and club vertica, don't need to have them all bunched up you can place them far in the back where the npc casino is. Add 3-5 emp slots on Mek-Sha. Don't know why Mek-Sha was ignored for emp slots but had everything else placed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abernathe Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The Emperor Slots are still broken. I'm starting to wonder if this is some sort of delayed April Fool's Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) The Emperor Slots are still broken. I'm starting to wonder if this is some sort of delayed April Fool's Joke. BW "fixing" the wrong machine is hilarious, but not on the same level as ESO, where the devs seriously consider putting all aoe abilities on a shared cooldown (in a game that has no ability cooldowns as yet) because the server can't handle all those calculations when everyone spams aoe and splash damage in PVP.

Xina_LA Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) STILL BROKEN And now the Kingpin slots are acting strange, too! They disappear and reappear when you use them, cutting off the sound FX. Edited July 28, 2020 by Xina_LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingkittie Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This is getting ridiculous. https://imgur.com/FL34P9o Please fix this. How about try putting more than 3 Emperor Slot machines in the casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khamseen_air Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Just beyond a joke that they didn't fix this and that we still only have 3 per instance for everyone to try and use... I wonder if they actually tried to fix it or if they just add "fixed" to the patch notes in the hope that somehow it'll magically sort itself out. Add in the fact that we're having another swoop rally event when they still haven't fixed the bugged achievement in that event and it's really starting to feel like they no longer care.

EmperorPallas Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Few disorganized thoughts on the whole thing. I'm pretty upset, so sorry for any lack of eloquence. I'm definitely not a "OMG...Bioware is the devil" type of person when things don't pan out as planned, b/c I do acknowledge that devs do work hard behind the scenes and it's not like anyone comes in to work at the studio intentionally trying to screw things up. Anyway, I'm 100% in favor of MAKING THE EMPEROR'S GRACE SLOTS INSTANCED! I logged in about 30 mins or so after the Twitter announcement that the servers are back up and immediately went to Imp Side Nar Shaddaa. I was super discouraged to see lines that were 10+ people long, because this event was supposed to be about having fun, as opposed to being a DMV simulator. Plus, isn't the Feeling Lucky buff necessary to have a fighting chance at winning the Emperor's Predator? There's no way you can sustain that buff while the person at the front of the line takes 10 minutes at the machine, because they stockpiled a really high amount of tokens due to the fact the Emperor's Grace machines were unusable for the past two weeks. Plus, a poster above mentioned that while people won't mind waiting in an orderly fashion, griefers are gonna grief. I can't think of a singular group of players that any of this is favorable to. I've been subbed to SWTOR for a long, long time now & The Emperor's Predator is the first mount that I've ever gotten excited about, so I'd REALLY like to have a shot at winning that adorable pritarr. It really sucks that you guys design something that's an equal mixture of fierce & adorable and I'm finally given the opportunity to "befriend" one as opposed to chopping them down for Onderon achievements and he's just so, so so out of reach I never cared about the Gamorrhean, the Rodian nor the Rancor, but this Pritarr is really worth spending a lot of time in the game in, so please, Dev Team, allow me to do just that.

BumpBump Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi everyone, Thanks for the different reports concerning the Emperor's Grace Slot and Kingpin Slot machines. The information provided was transferred to our team. We will update you when we have more information. Have you considered transferring this work to a different team of better programmers who might actually be able to fix it? this probably means hiring someone from outside the company.

Desplain Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Emperor machines are still not working, but Kingpin slot machines are resetting after every single game. These resets are pretty annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengartrell Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 When are we expecting a fix for this? Or is it just not happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xina_LA Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Kingpin slots seem to be VERY broken. Every once in awhile, perhaps due to crowding and local lag, when I get a jackpot and the animation goes off, I don't get an Emperor slot coin, a Kingpin coin, or anything in my inventory. Is the darned slot respawning before I get my prize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xina_LA Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hey folks, As a part of this morning's maintenance we also pushed out a potential fix for the Emperor Slot Machines. Thus far, all indications show that the fix is working. Please let us know if you notice any other issues with the slot machines. The slot machine doesn't appear to be at 100%. When you win something, nothing happens. No clapping or cheering animation, no gold sparkles with the credits sign, no fireworks and confetti. If you don't check your message log or inventory, you're not even sure what happened when you win Kingpin tokens. Also, the respawning Kingpin machines still have a small chance of not delivering a prize before they disappear in crowded instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
