The ceiling lights really bothered me until I tried the czerka light fixtures. They light up the rooms and halls nicely and lie flat against the ceiling. Fortunately I had quite a few available. Try them out.

I don't know if anyone noticed this but JackieKo posted this a few days ago in the thread, "Follow up on Shae Vizla server character transfers". Those of you who missed out before should try starting your transfers again and those who were charged should contact customer service to see if you can get a refund. I know this whole thing was a mess but it does look as if BS is making an effort to help those who missed out.

I support all of your excellent suggestions. I'd like to also suggest that many decos be fixed to better fit the hooks. Some of them require large or huge hooks when the decoration itself is small or medium sized.

I posted a suggestion in the cartel market area about this but I'm not sure that forum is actually looked at much. I've been wanting these for years.

Perhaps 6 to 10 decorations of different people in chairs and/or sofas. It's annoying to me that all the people in my strongholds have to stand!

I don't use bitraider but the same thing was happening to me after the patch. I noticed that there were 4 files in the asset folder with "streaming" in the suffix. I deleted those. I also downloaded the latest TESTSERVER patch. After doing those two things I was able to log on without any problem. I don't know if it was one or both of those things that helped.

* UPDATE * I'm able to log on now after patching the TESTSERVER. Somehow doing that added or fixed whatever it was that was making me crash off the production servers.

The exact same thing is happening to me. The files all seemed to download fine but I crash to desktop after hitting "play". On one attempt I briefly saw the last character I played yesterday on DM in the character select screen before I was dumped to desktop. I do NOT use the bitraider patcher and haven't for many years. On all of my attempts my client fails to take me to the server select screen. I just just crash to desktop.

I do NOT use bitraider...haven't for many years, yet I too have problems. After the long patch and hitting "play" the client went on to the loading screen. Then I drop to desktop. I've used the repair option on my 3 additional attempts but without success. The last character I used yesterday was on DM. I don't even get as far as the server select screen before I crash. Everything was fine before this patch. What's going on?

The stronghold cost was zero on the test server during testing. Obviously that will be changed when it goes live.

I just read this in a pcgamer.com article. Rest in peace Brad. You were a giant in the field and will be missed.

I took a break from SWTOR for a year and recently returned after the server merges to find that my old guild had disbanded. I can't seem to find any old friends around either. I'm looking to join a new guild with a mature player membership that doesn't allow toxic chat within its ranks. I'm all all for fun kidding around but I do not want to hear inconsiderate, hateful or intolerant nonsense. I play SWTOR to have fun and frankly, in recent days I've considered leaving again because general chat makes my stomach churn. Although I've participated in OPs in the past, they really aren't my cup of tea but I do like Flashpoints, adventuring, and tradeskilling. I almost always meet the conquest goals for the week so I can contribute to your guild in that way. My republic side main is a Scoundrel named "A'neeta". I don't play imperial as often but when I do I usually play a Powertech called "D'orthea". Thanks for listening to this rant . I hope you can help me out here. I'd really like to meet new like minded friends and use guildchat to communicate.

A group of npc musicians that can be placed on large hooks would be a wonderful addition to the cantinas I've set up in my strongholds. I bet others would like this too....maybe as a direct sale item in the stronghold section of the CM.

The way I understand it is if you exceed the cap on any deco, that deco will not be removed from existing strongholds. You'll have two strongholds on each stronghold planet (max 10 total strongholds) and all the decos will still be there. However if you wish to replace a deco that is over the cap you will lose it.
