  1. What those words "complete name purge" imply to me is "remove names from all characters on all accounts on all servers". I hope you don't really mean that. I mean, think about what it would do to subscriber numbers, the number of people who would see all the names stripped from all of their characters and give the game a rude gesture and a cancel-subscription button. The problem that server merges cause in the context of character names is that there are collisions: server A and server B are merged to create server AB, and your character Colliding'Name (from A) collides with my character Colliding'Name (from B). At least one of us has to lose access to that name.
  2. Date night (er, that is, Lana's, Koth's and Theron's, YMMV for Arcann) doesn't happen in an instanced area.
  3. Try this, as suggested by @OwenBrooks (who knows a thing or two): EDIT: Windows 10 and 11 do not, by default, install support for DirectX 9, which the game needs.
  4. Have you tried my classic thing for "I want all results that don't mention this" searches, "-fleet"(1). or the other one that sometimes works, "not(space)fleet". ("notfleet" without a space searches for folks on the planet Notfleet...) (1) *Usually* works on Google.
  5. Only if I could murder her again and again. Repeatedly. And often. And oftener than that.
  6. Y'all know this has been a bug with *any* cut-scene out in the open world since, like, forever, right?
  7. You've never seen Andronikos after certain story cut-scenes on the Inquisitor's ship, I guess, where he is displaced into other parts of the ship, where he ends up leaning against a wall (of the bridge) that isn't there (because he isn't on the bridge).
  8. If we assume that 8:30pm in Sydney is a reasonable beginning for Australian peak time (seeing as how the server is in Australia, approximately), then your best time for playing on that server would start at 5:30 am EST.
  9. KotFE (4.0) changed it from "when you reach the Fleet after finishing your starter planet, by taking the advanced training mission on the Fleet" to "as soon as you reach level 10 when you push that==> button(1)", and then KotET (5.0) changed it to "as soon as you reach level 1, i.e. during character creation". But yes, they should go through old game-mechanical descriptions like that and tidy them up. (And since it says level 10 rather than on completion of the starter world => Fleet voyage, that means it was updated for 4.0...) (1) No, I don't remember the exact mechanism. I last used it some time in 2016 when creating characters for the DvL event. But it was enabled as soon as you reached level 10.
  10. Yes but no. It was still absurdly easy to get one of those tokens: Find a planet where rep tokens are world drops and you haven't maxed out the reputation, and go on a killing spree. (example: Voss) Run the Operation Silent Roar (Impside) or Operation Midnight Freedom (Pubside) "rerun space railshooter missions" mission. It takes a few minutes ("few" == "no more than four") and reliably gives a rep token. Sure, if you've already maxed out those reps, you're out of luck, but it was, nevertheless, absurdly easy and not at all time-consuming to get those 43K points.
  11. Except that most of the time, 30 days is much longer than is really necessary to achieve that goal. What if it was a week? Three days? Two days? (Yes, just one day is probably too short, and two days might well be as well, but I would say that a whole week is more than enough.)
  12. Agreed. If it calls itself a flashpoint, it should give flashpoint gear as rewards, and it should give more than just a few poxy credits as an end reward as well. And they are *very* long for the current reward. A max-level character can get more than 750 credits for doing almost *any* mission in the game, even ones where you cross the street, talk to someone over there, and cross the street to go back to the mission-giver, then repeat. (I haven't seen a mission exactly as simple as that in SWTOR, but I did see one almost exactly like that in Runes of Magic.) Which is why I mentioned it. They are doable in any week. I just sent a JC to Pubside Taris, which is not on the conquest invasion list this week, and not present as an objective either, and I was offered the bonus series mission from Strom in the spaceport. To be sure, there's no breadcrumb doodad elsewhere in the game (terminal on Fleet, link in Conquest, etc.), but you can do them any week. They *are* part of the options to play. There's no consistent special reward for doing them, but they *are* there. In fact, that "no consistent special reward" thing is, just as for the Star Fortress missions, a big part of *why* people don't do them much. And the way to fix that is to make them more rewarding to play.
  13. My best guess is that @wilkiealbert was a couple of days late buying new sub time, and had a short time of being a non-subscriber during the critical period. Tip: Buy new time a week or so before the current time runs out(1) - the game adds the new time to the time remaining. Example: you have 7 days remaining. you buy a new 60-day block. Result: you have 67 days remaining. (1) You still end up buying new time at the same interval as before, every sixty days, but you can be a couple of days late without the subscription having a gap.
