Light Alignment Tier reset from V to 0!!

Just happened to me over the weekend, or at least within the last week or so. Friday evening, I defeated Central Network Guardian, the final boss of The Dread Guard, then logged out before leaving the instance (I was in a hurry to head out). I logged in Sunday evening, but was stuck in place, inside the instance where I had logged out. The running animation was fine, but my character didn't move. All I could do was jump straight up and rotate the camera. The /stuck command didn't work either. I used the fleet pass to bail out, then used the planetary bonus mission transport to get back to the dailies terminal. I finished up the rest of the Section X dailies as well as those from The Black Hole, Oricon, and CZ-198. It wasn't until I hit the fleet to spend 50 LS tokens on a new mount that I noticed my alignment had been reset. I dropped from 100k LS points to just 13k.

I've been doing these dailies for the last two weeks, so it's possible this happened earlier. I don't remember how many alignment points you get as a reward, but when I log back in to find out, I can do the math to get an idea if this actually happened over the weekend or if earlier in the week. I just thought logging in whilst stuck in place inside the boss' instance might have had something to do with this.

I'm doubtful we'll get our alignment points back, based on all the generic CS responses people have been receiving. Just sucks that it happened on my "collector" toon, and that the LS mounts will have to wait until I re-grind the rest of my 87k LS points. Ugh...

It seems the problem is logging out of Section X with some active daily...

Had this happen to three of my characters... T_T

I was avoiding Section X as I find it slower than CZ, Zoist and Yavin but really wanted some more CXP so did it. I finished then went to my SH and logged out. When I logged back in again I was no longer Light V and was neutral. Hilarious that I was on 96 light tokens and couldn't buy anything from the LvD vendor.

Just to add--I've watched this bug for a while now because it makes me leery of doing dailies in Section X. From every thread I've ever read it appears to ONLY affect Light-side characters. I have yet to see someone say it took away their Dark-side points. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen it.

True dat.

Well, there are a few dread seeds there...

Not happened to me yet thankfully. I have been going there most days to take advantage of the extra GC points you get from the dailies. I read that it can happen if you log out while there but seems many have not logged out so must be something else. It does seem somewhat random.



......and no, just because I take advantage of extra GC points when given, does not equal me wanting GC to be legacy-wide before some mentions my other post in that thread.

I had that happen on my Commando several times after running Section X dailies. It only affects Pub characters due to the Section X mission "Imminent Threat" causing the reset. I verified this as my alignment never reset when I did not take and complete that mission in Section X. None of my Imp side toons ever reset in Section X either so it seems to be limited to Pub side toons.

Took the risk of going back last night, as advised by someone here I exited the place via fleet then ship then stronghold, and didn't log out while in section X. Nothing happened.

I've been running Section X every day on a Light V Imp character and she's never been reset. *knock on wood* It sounds as though, as someone else said, this only affects Republic-side characters.

I also never log out in Section X; I either go back to a SH or use the red and black console to port to another daily area.
