  1. This is still broken, playing now on my Sniper and this still morphs me into the cargo loader but I am in the wrong room. This has been raised 2 years ago, what is happening with this. This can potentially lock the story for Legacy of the Sith for Imperial players, I would have thought this was a higher priority due to this potential. EDIT: I can say I had to log out and log back in since there is no way to exit or disconnect from the loader once morphed. I travelled to fleet after logging in again and it still morphed me into the loader into the wrong location. ADDITIONAL EDIT: Right now I have tried a number of things, to see if I can get into the room proper with the cargo loader I have logged out and logged back in on the same character and clicked the Launch button, traversed to the clickable object and I am unable to continue. I have logged out and logged back in on the same character, travelled to fleet then clicked launch, traversed to the control panel and morphed into the cargo loader in the same room, unable to continue. I have logged out and logged in on a different character, logged out of that character, logged back in with the character that is stuck, clicked launch, went back to the control panel. I am not morphed into the cargo loaded and unable to continue I have logged out of the character, logged back in as the same character, travelled to fleet. Then travelled to Manaan on my ship. Then clicked launch, traversed to the control panel, morphed into the loaded and I am unable to continue. It seems I am genuinely locked out of progressing the story at the moment. This is the second time I have done this and I still have a couple more Imperial characters I have to progress through Manaan. I would have through 2 years would be plenty of time to fix it. Logged in next day, click Reset on the quest before launching it, clicked launch and it is still morphing me into the cargo loader in the same room as the control panel I click.
  2. I am sure this has been reported but since I have just played the Flashpoint again, which I will say, it is a great flashpoint. But the reason why I do not play it as much as I would like it my rotation of flashpoints is the performance. While you are on the train, the performance is around 30-40 fps average if I am luck. The boss fight on the train, with the two enemies, it was dropping down to 20 fps average. I know my PC is not state of the art Intel i7 11370H Nvidia 3070 Laptop 16GB DDR4 RAM NVMe SSD This is also the same for the Umbara train strong hold. It is only while you are on the train. Once you get off, the FPS goes back to 75 on average. I really like this flashpoint and it really should have some love shown to increase the performance and since you are working on some cinematic lighting, have switched the engine to 64 bits, perhaps there is room for more performance tweaking.
  3. I can say this has still not been fixed. I am unable to teleport to my ship as it says "This ability is disabled", I have logged out and logged back in, no luck. I was able to travel to my strong hold and when I launched it again, I was still stuck and unable to progress. None of the priority transports work as it says the same as teleporting to my ship. I am unable to quick travel. Seriously how is this still an issue after so long. Right now, I am unable to zone out to an area that can. I have even tried going to my stronghold (which works) then to my ship and then re-launch the mission again. Very disappointing that a serious blocker like this has existed for more than 12 months.
  4. I noticed some odd graphical issues when I was playing Battle of Rishi. You can see it in the video attached. It looks shader related, I am unable to be totally sure. But you can see artifacts of elements behind on elements in front. As said it is difficult to explain and the video is below. Graphical Issue I have include my Direct-X diag, my Nvidia settings exported using nVidia Profile Inspector. I have also got 2 images of my in game settings. As well as another image showing this artifact. Links to Settings and another instance It doesn't seem to impact anything other than is more of an annoyance and it has happened since the upgrade to 64bit.
  5. I have started getting this. Since it exits the application I start the launcher, log in and it downloads another update. Then it works. It has only done this since 7.2b was released, the moment I see the launcher download a small update that has not been indicaterd as something other than 7.2b I know I will get the versions to not match error. But starting the game again, downloads a new update (unure what it is), and it is fixed and I can play the game. There is a file that indicates the file version perhaps looking at that when it complains the versions do not match could help. But I hav yet to see any response from the devs and it has been this way since 7.2b was released.
  6. The link is a video showing the conversation for this mission but the very first line shows a subtitle but does not play the dialogue. I do not have memory of this happening in the other class stories that I have played through. Trooper Missing Dialogue Hope this helps. Regards
  7. Let me add, this happened again. Once again, another force leap, a bit further one and yet again, I am stuck in the ground. See images below. Location of being stuck, again. Map Location of this sad evem. Once again, I am unable to get out, stuck just keeps me at the locaiton, I am unable to quick travel to anywhere and the only solution is the exit the flashpoint and go back in. I will not be completing this flashpoing until these issues have been fixed.
  8. This issue happened near the start. This was at the 3rd fight (I had killed 6 before) I did a force leap to the 3rd set of mobs right near the start and I then got stuck in the ground. Attached is a link to the screenshot I took. Stuck in the Ground I had to exit the flashpoint to get out of the ground as the stuck command did nothing. This issue had nothing to do with the fight that so many other people had. I had held off this fight after a couple of patches in the hopes the issues might be sorted, alas I was incorrect in that assumption. I will try it one more time but if I come across a bug that breaks it again I think I might be leaving this flashpoint alone until it fixed sometime next year current progress.
  9. This is an honest question, will we receive any answers I highly doubt that. I have spoken about this before, so I do not feel I should go over this again, but I will do in brief. This is the 10th Anniversary of the game and the Legacy of the Sith was meant to kick off host of content coming throughout the year, the “expansion” was just the first step, so they said. A lot of the hype for the game came from the staff in the very small number of live streams that, Charles and Jackie had one in November 18, 2021, and the one before that was July 1, 2021. Keith was barely able to contain himself (in Keith’s way) Both of these were talking up the release this wasn’t about the players going overboard but the staff. I will say my expectations were tempered very much since Onslaught but I was hoping for something similar, it was less in my opinion. I have said all of this before. But the one thing that is really getting on my goat about all of this is absolutely nothing since Kieth posted something in March 4, 2022 where is mentions that the team is working hard (which we do not nor have ever doubted) and this is a foundation. A foundation to what? We have received some great things but we are also missing a heap of stuff, this post from Keith states it, more content with new locations, PvP revamp and more visual and modernisation improvements. But what are these things? I believe we need a live stream, we need Keith to come and talk about the state of SWTOR, talk of the road map or give us some information, 7.0.2 is another patch to fix the numerous bugs still left over from launch and introduced into 7.0.2 (not to mention I am sure the new weapon outfitter will have some issues, something as complex as they have been saying it is, I am sure there is a lot of stuff going on under the covers. I play another MMO and since the last live stream from SWTOR there has been countless live streams from the developers and the game is almost as old as SWTOR it too had a terrible start, reinvented itself and is now considered the best one available and each expansion is getting better and better. We know the team at Bioware have delivered the goods before and there is nothing stopping them (from the players point of view) now. Please I implore Keith and the developers, we need better communications MUCH better, this has been one of the stumbling blocks for the game over the many long years and often you hear and will give us the needed information we have been requesting. Do a live stream, open and transparent and give it to us straight, tell us what is coming, throw away the we want to keep it secret stuff, you’ll have to wait. You have a massive amount of trust to earn back from the player base and I believe being 100% honest and up front and not obfuscating or hiding behind we can’t share too much will be a HUGE step in the right direction into repairing the fracture between the devs and the players at the moment. And if you think that there is no issue that everything is just hunky dory, then you really need to explain why you think that. Keith, it is in your hands.
  10. We have not received something, albeit a we are planning to tell you something about something coming in the future. Or along the lines we have heard before where we would get an update as to when they will tell us about a coming update. We gather a patch in the process but when, what is it that you are planning on putting in there. Seeing as there is now a PTS live for the new operations I am guessing we will be getting the patch to fix the issues outstanding the same time we get the operations and maybe the daily area. Why? Is the branch of fixes entangled with the new operation. Yes, Operations and Daily Area were delayed to ensure the best possible release when it got delayed initially, but I speak for myself but I would like to have the vast majority of issues fixed or at least a decent chunk of them addressed before they release the operation or daily area. Once again, we are seeing this and we have heard nothing about the reaction to the release, the issues that have broken the content that has been released. I am still paying my sub and hearing that Final Fantasy XIV is releasing a patch that will make the game pretty much solo-able for the main story content it is difficult for me to justify paying for a SWTOR sub a game I have poured my heart and soul, significant time and certainly more dollars than I care to count into. As the title states the fan deserve better and so far there is still nothing, Jackie is active sure and I think this hides the fact that communications from the team are lax in terms of real meat and substance. Why was the game delayed to ensure that the best quality product was released and prevent potential crunch when clearly we got a paired back release marking one of the shortest expansion experiences ever? Why has nothing about upcoming patches or updates to content has been spoken of, this is the 10 year anniversary and Keith foretold of great things coming this year, what is in the pipeline what are some approximate timeframes or even we plan to reveal more information on x date, the fan are currently in the dark on anything and many are feeling a little disenfranchised by the experience of late? Does BioWare have anything to offer or say in response? We love this game and it is so disheartening to see it slowly deteriorate before our eyes like watching a loved one succumbing to the illness and there is nothing we can do for them other than watch and despair. Keith, I implore you to come forward and give us an update, or even through your proxies, Eric, Charles and Jackie. I live stream would help.
  11. I am sure to many this "expansion" has been a disappointment. We were told many things and the goal posts just kept being moved. 1. The amount of content in this release was not what I would call expansion quality. I love the story content but the reality of it, like Onslaught the amount of story included was similar to a smaller story patch, a .x release. 2. Delayed. Many were disappointed with the delay, hoping for a real 10-year anniversary on release we were told, not fare from the release date, it is not ready and we want to spend more time to polish it and make it as good as it can be, only to see this when it is finally release some 2 months after the original release date is well, a disappointment. 3. Cut content. We were told we would get several items, daily areas, operation, since these were not ready since other aspects were more important to get right, and what did we get? 4. Removal. We now have a different gearing, removed amplifiers, removed renown, removed set bonuses (replaced sure), I feel more was removed than was added. 5. Combat styles, much contention here. Sure, I think there was a ton of miscommunication going on here. Many people thought one thing and it was something very different. But the reality of it I feel is just a fancy coat of paint called combat styles since it is just you selecting a new class (changing the story to origin, fine) and then selecting discipline, so we get to play potentially 6 different advanced classes (using the old terminology). I am sorry, but as said, it is just a coat of paint to make it look like you are playing the same game but different, if I wanted to play my guardian, I will switch to my guardian and not change combat styles. 6. Broken. The game is broken in many areas, the final fight in the new story is bugged and needs a work around to complete. Bugs raised on PTS not fixed in final release, the list of bugs a growing longer and longer by the minute and the supposed reason for the delay of making sure everything is as good as possible, seems difficult to believe given the current state of things. 7. Hype. There was a lot of hype around the release of 7.0 this being the 10th anniversary of the game, we all were hoping for an epic expansion in the realms of Shadow of Revan. We were told that a lot is planned, and we have a ton of stuff for this 10 year. As the date got closer and closer the comms were less frequent, we were told of cut contents and then a delay and when the day finally arrived, problems. For a fan of this game, someone subscribed since the beginning, having bought CC many, many times (scared of ever looking at how much actual dollars I spent) to help support this game, to be delivered this expansion is again a disappointment. To Keith and the Team. You have a loyal and dedicated fan base, who many have stuck with this game through thick and thin. To see this release, what was physically released on what is meant ot be one of the biggest periods in the game's history is sad to see. I understand, you see countless posts in the forums garnering an opinion of one form or another, telling you the issues plaguing the release, telling you they will be un-subbing and we hear nothing. No contrition, not anything. I am sure things are busy with dealing with the issues in the system, logging the bugs and so on, but this is the 10th year and the fans, were expecting something very different to this. Will this garner any news from the team at BW, no. Will they do more than they have done previously over the last 10 years, no. Will they look at this and hope to improve things in the future, which we have heard SO many times before and when things improve slightly, and we move forward 1 step we then suddenly move back 2 steps and we are worse off than we were. The fans do deserve better, better communication and some it might be an issue, but I would say a better release. The overall feeling is, the story is good, but it is too short and there are too many bugs, both of these things are within your power to fix, the fans do deserve better.
  12. I am simply disappointed with this news. We are looking to have potentially the smallest expansion to date (I would love to be proved wrong on that) and on top of that we have had 1 delay and feature dropping (an a feature that has been hotly requested for a significant amount of time now). The team, I am sure, are under possibly a decent amount of pressure, they are, what seems like, excited for the 10 year anniversary and they are wanting us to be excited at the 10 year anniversary but it just seems each piece of news we get just add to the disappointment. Yes, we want a release that is the best it can be, but right now, I am possibly not the only one, significantly disappointed with what is happening thus far and with 7.0 now releasing into almost 1/6th of the year, and sans features, give us some hope. There is little to be really excited about since the news of late is has certainly extinguishing that fire we might have had when LOTS was announced.
  13. I can certainly say that this is still bugged. So 2018 till now. Wow, there must be a priority lower than Very Low. Yes, logging out and logging back in does allow the completion of it, so yes, a work around does exist, but this is a long time for a bug like this to exist. Any words from the developers on this?
  14. On the Galaxy map when you zoom in and select a planet, as well as the description it would be nice to have the grade of gathering materials available and if there is different grades on the planet it can have both. It could also show if there are no gathering materials on the planet. I thought of this as I am looking for a planet to do some specific grade material gathering and I have to alt tab out of the game and search of it online. Though not difficult just annoying as I play in full screen as opposed to windowed. Just a quick thought and one I felt wasn't too difficult to implement. Regards Mike
  15. Thanks for the minor update Eric, but I do find it odd that we have more visibility of content through the use of the PTS but we haven't heard anything regarding anything coming for releases even tiny morsels that might sate for the moment until the greater release of more information for a significant amount of time. last year, and we are in February. This does get people frustrated especially with talk of great visibility of content. I also believe people would love to know or even have you release a pure bug fix patch, fixing those niggling issues, ones which have been there since 5.10 release and even longer, we do get to see this greater transparency of thing coming content and then like clockwork we see it drop off and slowly fade until there is a realisation the visibility has slipped and it is ramped up again, I speak for myself but the level of content we were getting with live streams and posts heading into 5.10 was really good, many would like to see that rather than browsing the Dev Tracker forum only to see some talk regarding issues being raised or something already on the PTS (that is how I have felt this year so far, a dearth of information does not keep a fan base satiated). We all want content, content free from as many bugs as possible and we all wish there was a great level of communication consistently rather than just when there is disquiet regarding said level of communication. Keep working but understand we fans do want to know what is coming and not get told we won't be telling you things like before (I.E. no formal roadmap, am curious why that is). Also SW Celebration is w while away, hoping this will not be the only thing we hear, is 5.10.1 coming soon and we will tell you more about 5.10.2 soon and wait until April when we reveal all our plans (hopefully live streamed for those who cannot make the trip).
