So, with the server merge for United Forces, my entire guild was dissembled except for 2 players... myself and the GM. I have served as GM in the past for the guild when the GM has been absent for an extended period and leadership rotated to me. I have then subsequently returned leadership to him when he returned to the game. To the best of my knowledge, we are the only 2 players in the guild to have ever served as GM, and perhaps that is the reason that we are the only members to have survived the transfer. I placed a ticket when it was discovered (#32594756). The ticket has been closed with an apology for the delay (a week) in responding, and that maybe all my (dozens) of guildmates just all left the guild. Seriously? Since I've at least gotten in-game mails from other guildies asking what happened (they all thought the guild got dissolved), that was clearly not the case. Right now, I'm struggling to connect online with some of them but just haven't been online at the same time to send them invites to return. I get the feeling that CS is not going to do anything to resolve having killed the guild. Anybody else have problems with having guild members dropped from the rolls during the merge? Thanks.

I got in-game for about an hour or so earlier today, but now, I can't seem to launch the game. After entering passwords on the log-in screen, it seems to stay "busy" much longer than normal, but it will eventually kick over to the launch screen. It stalls for a moment there, as if looking for the patch to update (but that's already updated earlier today), and then finally activates the PLAY button, along with the customary power-up sound. However, when I hit PLAY, it never launches the game window. I'm going to re-boot my entire system to see if that has any effect. (No change after re-boot. The two delays mentioned above seem to last 15-20 seconds each.)

I'm having this problem as well... log in, and then hit play... and nothing. It never launches a game window.

It would be nice to have a way to purchase emotes. Direct purchase of individual (and specific) emotes would be great for the RP folks. Barring that, 3 or 4 all-or-nothing sets would be OK. Might be nice to also have mod-able versions of all the starting outfits available... or a vendor on the starter worlds to re-purchase them for use in the fashion designer option... since quite often, those outfits got lost the first time somebody hit "sell junk" at a vendor.

Thanks. I'd caught that bit about the scaling in the patch notes. Unfortunately, it doesn't really explain why I have a mission that shows me 2 favorable responses from Corso at +16 each, which ought to total a +32 gain, but when I turn in the mission, what I actually got was +30.

I see that they've changed affection gains to "scale" based on level, so anybody know what the baseline figures are now? Or why what they show me for gains doesn't match the actual gains received?

Pre-expansion, I'm running all 3 lvls of the Legacy perk to increase companion affection from conversations. So, Corso Riggs on my baby Smuggler is getting +20 for standard favorable choices rather than the +15 base line. Then comes the expansion. Now, it shows me only +16 for a favorable choice, and then when the mission payoff comes around, I'm actually getting only +15 for favorable choices. What the heck happened here? (Bioware's CS response to this is "we don't talk about such things.")

There is a thread in Customer Service about the GTN. Basically, the change in the functionality of the GTN is that you now have to do one of two things to run a search. Option 1: type in at least 3 characters of the name of the item you wish to search for, and then the SEARCH button will activate. Option 3: Fill in at least 3 filter fields (and ANY options don't count) to activate the SEARCH button. Yes... this means that you will now have to run 3 to 5 scans to see the same material you used to be able to gather in 1 scan.

I find this sort of funny. I didn't know patch 1.2 was coming until 2 days before it released... but I did know it was coming for over a month before that. I didn't know the exact day because I didn't bother to keep up with when it was coming. When I found out and mentioned it to other players, they already knew because they HAD made the effort to keep up with it.

I can't seem to find my way to Conduit RLS-81 for this quest. I've been on 3 different levels in the Red Light sector, and can see a catwalk above on a possible 4th level, but I can't find any way to it, or suggestions on how to get to that conduit. Suggestions?
