Well I don't know if it fixed it...but I un-installed and then because I had purchased the digital upgrade pack I re-installed it all digitally instead of from the discs (cause I have them). Yes it's annoying and takes up a bunch of time. But my launcher works and I can get onto Harbinger server and into my characters again.

Same here, open launch window and put in all my needed info and it can't connect to a server that I have 17 characters on. It's ridiculous.

I wasn't trying to whine. I was merely trying to share my experience and what I choose to do to avoid what I personally don't wish to deal with. No flower smelling or rainbow watching required.

I have both good and bad experience in groups. Though I've never used the group finder because of my most recent bad experiences. I was in a group going for the HK pieces. At the beginning of the FP I clearly stated I haven't run either FP ever. I stated so because I view that as the common courtesy to everyone else so then they know I have no clue and hopefully have at least a sliver more patience with me. Now one player was great. He (or she) told us to follow him /her and then to wait before starting the one fight. Explained completely what to do. All was good. Apologized for any mistakes I made along the way. All was fine. We were doing Foundry in Hard mode. Got to the Revan fight, and another player who also stated they'd never run the FP ended up swearing at me. I was swore at for not healing him/her with a move that has a 5 minute cool down and was just used to revive another member of the group. After that this player wouldn't stop with the elitist type attitude. The other person however seen what we were doing wrong and instructed us on how to correct it. We did, and ended up finishing the FP with ease after that. I've had other negative experiences. But this one was the reminder for why I just don't bother trying to do Flashpoints and heroics. Yes, I am willing to look up videos to see how to do things, and I do try my best while in group play & am willing to listen to advice or polite instruction for improvement or correction. But I don't play the game to be subjected to the arrogant attitudes and abuse. My solution is to bypass the heroics and flashpoints.

Well I personally love this game despite any frustrating kinks. Gotta take the bad with the good in my opinion. And yes, $10 for the expansion (again merely my opinion) is a good price to shell out for a pre-order. I agree with the others stating they sub to support the game not for the 'extras'. No things aren't perfect for everyone with this game. You can't please everyone. I take the few pics we've seen for the expansion as a sign they're working on what another big 'complaint' has been for: more story. I'm in the group of people wanting more story. As for asking all the 'What about end-game" and other questions. As stated, they haven't released much information so wait until they say more or till the up-grade.

Over-all it's completely your choice. I got some things from the cartel market, and unlocked some Legacy un-lockables. Mainly things that would benefit all toons in my Legacy. I got things like improved speeder training (from the market) and a few fun things, I unlocked the ship repair droid and mailbox in the Legacy because I've been wanting to get them for a while. It all depends on what you mind find more useful, and what would actually benefit your character(s) most. If you don't find things in the Cartel market that you want and you have your Legacy unlocked see what things you can unlock with the Cartel Coins instead of credits.

I'd like to see Khem Val, Aric Jorgan, Qyzen Fess and Blizz.
