lukeisjedi Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 You do realize they have to maintain the servers yes? All MMO's do this.It's also probably prep for a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixxieTriss Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Chris mentioned something recently about them working on fixing the games performance. These types of back end maintenances could be tied to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_carton Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Update: Resolved without any change on my part. Is the forum comment feature broken? I'm not able to change any aspect of the text I write including the font color, Bold, Italic, and so on. Not likely a back-end maintenance issue, though. I put the COLOR tag in here manually.

BRKMSN Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Of course with RNG, one can always experience a long stretch of bad luck, but so far after the maintenance, it feels like Emperor's Casino Chip drops from mobs has been ninja nerfed. Is anybody else noticing a change (better / worse/ about the same) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-Elder Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Is the forum comment feature broken? I'm not able to change any aspect of the text I write including the font color, Bold, Italic, and so on. ] Yep, happens to me sometimes too. Totally random though, cuz i've never been able to troubleshoot the actual problem yet. (browser cookies maybe? ) -------- August 2020 Events Calendar Clarification Needed According to the SWTOR In-Game Events for August and AUGUST IN-GAME EVENTS articles, the Pirate Incursion event will run from Aug. 25 - Sep. 1; however, as of the start of this week's Conquest, the in-game Conquest window is showing next week's Conquest as Swoop Gang Mayhem. Can we get some clarification on this, please? QFE! Come on BioWare, i know things are ultra challenging lately cuz of Covid-quarantine-work-remotely situation & everything, but u guys are better than this. So many seemingly basic attention-to-detail lapses recently. What's going on? Why/how wouldn't normal QA catch some of this stuff? Like, seriously i'm asking earnestly out of sheer curiosity & concern. Is it truly a budget from EA issue? Is there some other STAR WARS mmo being worked on that we aren't aware of? You thankfully gave us some welcomed refreshing transparency a couple weeks ago , but otherwise it sometimes feels like the game is off on this weird limbo 'customer island' with mostly just the constant bot-like 'Community Team' acknowledgement posts. (which are nice quantity of course, but not entirely reassuring quality since it almost becomes like an empty yellow-font diminished returns 'Dev Tracker' after a while) It would be great if Mr. Musco would pop-in a bit more often like Mr. Steed did couple weeks ago and just say something like "hey sorry we've been really hectic with 10th Anniversary stuff and unfortunately some little things have slipped through the code-cracks lately" or whatever. In your defense, the in-game Customer-Service tickets have been very detailed, revealing, and honest in their responses. --- EDIT: Of course i posted before seeing this: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=983416 and this: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=983415 , so it would appear u guys are busy with more pressing issues at the moment. ------ *2nd EDIT: lol you end up ignoring my 2 posts and choose to instead reply within a random (but coincidentally specific ) other thread: https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9874574#edit9874574 Edited August 19, 2020 by Nee-Elder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
