Light Alignment Tier reset from V to 0!!

I also ran in to this Bug. I was under the impression that it was triggered if you exited the game while in Section X but my Alignment points were wiped out all the same. Not sure at what time it occurred as I don’t wear Alignment locked gear but I do remember once getting to Stage 2 of the mentioned Bonus mission before ever getting to the area. Since the toon’s Alignment is shot I’ll keep playing in the area until I max out the reputation but afterwards Section X will be Off-limits for all my other toons until they come out and specifically address the issue.

And if by any chance Eric or Keith are reading this thread: How about creating a Bind on Pick-Up Consumable that gives the equivalent Dark/Light points of a single level so CS can at least help with this issue while you guys find the Root Cause and fix the bug once and for all?

This way if a player is dropped from Alignment 3 back to 0 at least CS can mail 3 of the consumables to the player to regain the lost points. Sounds a lot better than “Hmm, yeah that sucks, make a Bug report”

Smart !

The bug with the bonus mission starting at Stage 2 was around as long as i remember, at least from 2012. And i never had any problems with alignment resets before 5.0.
Now, already had this problem twice, on the same toon. V to zero, and then IV to zero.
Tried contacting support, got the same response as everyone else here - "it's a documented bug, sucks to be you, we'll fix this someday".

My guess is the reset bug went mostly unnoticed for this long simply because almost no-one bothered with Sec X dailies until it started giving out huge CXP rewards.

you were a naughty person lately

Ah, interesting.

Yes, a fix that Customer Service could implement would be a good interim solution to this problem. If they can't just give us Alignment points, perhaps they could apply some kind of Alignment gain bonus. Anything that makes grinding back to Light 5 less of a miserable slog...

i have resorted to simply completing all quests in section x; using the shuttle to go to the orbital station; heading to my ship; traveling to tatooine to get to my SH, then, before doing anything else, doing any other set of heroics/quests...literally anything. so far so good and for the fourth time on my way back up to V.

Any news on this, devs? Dark/Light alignment seems to reset in Section X all the time and customer support refuses to reimburse it as well.

They're looking into it (tm)

Thread was started back in February and not even a dev comment, wow

Looks like I got hit by this bug this week on my 'Light V' Jedi Guardian: Tired to buy a mount when I capped my LS tokens, but I'm apparently 'Light I' now. Based on my last purchase and my LS tokens earned this week, it must have been a fairly recent occurrence (maybe 60 missions ago, based on my current alignment, and I've been grinding the 'enhanced' Daily missions like crazy) and I did log out while in Section X not too long ago (the GC alignment changed so I stopped grinding dailies for a little while), so I guess I should have been paying closer attention to this forum thread...

Luckily, I'm not using any gear that requires an alignment, but I am stuck with a full stack of LS tokens that I can't actually spend, which is annoying but not really really bad (I've already purchased everything of actual interest).
