GS have always "forced" all the types of content. That being said, you can do some of the other objectives, and still get the rewards, maybe not as early.

The item never binds. So, you can use it, and resell it

I hope you are kidding. GSF almost never pops when there are no seasons objectives. So, this way, at least, you do get to play.

"A march release" does sound suspicious... lol

I guess you need a starship, for which you need to complete the class storyline up until DK.

That is probably the case, yes. Satele Shan was merged from PvE servers, and raiders left the game by the thousands during KotFE and KotET, and things didn't go so well on the side of endgame from then on, not that it ever did before. Raiders tend to pay a sub for a month or two, and return to play when a new ops content comes up, and leave once they are done for, say, 2 years in the current circumstances? I don't know. Until new ops content comes, which is expected to come every from 2 years to never ever again in the current state of the game.

That's exactly my sentiment. I'll see how 7.5 plays out. If they give us the same model again, I am out too, again, at least for some 2 years. It breaks immersion so bad, and totally kills the feeling of story continuation.

Uhmm... Is it broken or something? Maybe there is a mechanic to it?

Sadly, I agree. I am doing much more damage with it in pve and pvp even as I mess up my rotation.

It is intentional. It's about the model . The important thing is, grabbing animations don't look funny, like the character doesn't grab it from the sharp parts, since they can't have a different animation for every weapon.

Just to help anybody who is dealing with this still, moving away from the console just before the activation meter fills is the only workaround to it, following 7.4. I could click from behind the console before that, and it would work, but no longer. I also tried everything mentioned in this thread, and none of them works. All the other workarounds were "fixed". To detail it out; - Click the console from the front. - Run towards the console just before the activation meter fills. - If the above doesn't work, go to a stronghold, return to the Invasion Zone, and try again.

It is the lava in Kessan's Landing. Stepping on lava turns sprint off.

Yea, I also switch to madness with my sorc, which I main.

True but it's hardly worth it as the threshold for it is quite high, and you would rather not sacrifice critical. Tldr, it's not worth it

No. There is no option for a critical oh. All oh is alacrity
