Bug issues fix patch?

 

Hopefully they'll be fixing the one where the game thinks my Inquisitor was cheating on Andronikos with Lana/Theron/Koth and gave me a break up quest for one of them when I told Andronikos he's still my cuddle monkey.

 

Glad the bugs don't mess with Companions' personalities, or else Andronikos probably would have kicked me in the *** for doing someone else even though I didn't.

Maybe they will really fix the flashpoint Kuat Drive Yard, it still isnt working when you try to shuttle to it.

Or maybe they will fix what ever bug isnt allowing you to que for master flashpoints even though you fit the requirements.

KDY seems broken more than before, lol. It wouldn't even show us the cutscene, the group just stood there with checkmarks over our heads and--nothing.

HI Eric,

[in case this hasn't been pointed out umpteen times ...]

 

Thank you for being very clear with the start & end times (i.e. giving both PST and 24-hr GMT)!

 

Can I ask for the same level of rigor to the other announcements, in particular for events? ...

(1) Times are ambiguous (listing 12 am when it isn't clear if that is noon or midnight). Use 24-hr.

(2) They are inconsistent (12 am GMT is translated randomly as 4 am or 4 pm PST)

(3) Sometimes not even listed (current 2XP event only appears in patch notes, no start/end times given)

(4) They are sometimes wrong either way - people get surprised/upset when it ends "a day early"

 

For example, see http://www.swtor.com/info/in-game-events

 

All show "12 AM GMT", 4 convert that to "4AM PST", the other two to "4PM PST"

I'm surprised, doesn't look like there was an exploit here.

 

I'm guessing it was designed to stop the bots perpetually running Lady of Sorrows Clean up Quest. Scoprio was like, "Girrlllll -- get that stoopid droid HK or Theron with his amusing cranial implants to do it!" :rak_03:

I guess? I'd not heard it, but I'm a little surprised a bonus mission could really give enough rewards to merit a patch but I guess it did.

This is correct. The Lady of Sorrows bonus Mission wasn't really an exploit, but we saw some concerning behavior with that Mission for bots. That is why we held the patch notes until this morning.

 

Thanks!

Hey Eric,

 

it seesms even Bioware's own server status page does not work properly anymore, more precise not as before. I double checked this with this original server status page since our server widget on our guild website (Enjin) does not work anymore since the patch today and shows the server offline while it is in fact online. But the SWTOR server status page does not show the same as before either. It still shows up/down but no population data anymore. Something changed obviously. Any clue? Intended or not? New IP?

 

Original Server Status page: http://www.swtor.com/server-status

 

Our page with server widget (worked until the patch today): http://tcf.enjin.com/

 

 

Kind regards

 

Frank/Nal'
