Thank you very much. That fixed it and I was able to get on. Appreciate the help.

I log in to patcher/launcher and it goes to initilaizing...but then I get error message saying an unexpected error has occurred and to try again. then shortly after closing launcher/patcher I get another error message that I've never seen before that says unable to connect to external UI.... any help is appreciated.

So you want the post buried again...by bumping it up with your own post? brilliant...absolutely brilliant. (and no I don't care either way, so my "bumping" is irrelevant to me and my point)

I'll never understand you people. Server transfer's were dirt cheap for a LONG time....you could move 4-5 toons a month on your cc grant alone. then we got warning it was going off sale....very soon after that, due to crying, they put transfers BACK on sale for a bit, and extended it even. You decided for whatever reason not to move, now you're crying about the pop....and want BioWare to "fix" a problem YOU made by not taking advantage of cheap moves. I'm sure you'll just say I'm tossing you a "red herring" like you keep saying about anyone that says something you don't like, but whatever. The fault is with YOU not BioWare...and they absolutely should not do what you propose.

not true. Many solo'd him before level sync. you just had to know what you were doing as it had an attack that did more damage the closer to someone else you were (even your companion) that could one-shot even a max-level character no matter the gear. But he was, in fact, able to be solo'd before level-sync.

BioWare runs their asinine "metrics" to see things like this. If your little campaign about TH was accurate they would have done something, or will anyway. Stop with this nonsense. You're wrong and your entire argument is one-sided with cherry-picked "proof" to back it up.

You forgot that the rewards are random and you're more likely to end up with pieces of armor that you don't want on that particular character and will therefore spend CC's to unlock the full set AFTER you try and purchase the remaining items (which all took cc's at some point to get on the GTN) then there's the other items....agents getting lightsabers and the like...useless stuff to them that you'll need/want to unlock to have it be used by someone that can use it (sans a companion, but that's a crap reward by itself.) While I agree with you that it's a B.S. cc money grab, most of your points are twisted to fit your point and not entirely accurate. And, as above, you left some things out (which I did too) The binding the rewards to the character that completed the tier is asinine...bind it fine..but make it legacy bound so you can, I dunno, send it to a character THAT CAN USE IT.

You shouldn't, as what he says isn't true. Disney may not own SWTOR but they DO own the Star Wars license. If they don't renew that license with EA at the end, then EA will HAVE to shut down SWTOR...as at that point it would be copyright lawsuit territory. Don't always listen to the first person that responds..esp since this guy is clueless to how licensing works. And who knows if they will. Though it is likely if EA ends up making Disney a ton of money.

yah this entire event is effin stupid and is obvious that they know people will spend more cc's to unlock things they get on a character that can actually use it. It's disgusting...and obvious being it co-insides with CM packs going up in price, heroic credit nerf, etc... Gotta love BioWare Austin, just more proof they have no business running an MMO.

I kept getting an error when I was trying last night. Tried a few times and then waited. about hour or so later tried again and got that same message....it may have counted those errors as failed attempts and temp locked you out...either way it's a problem on their end, not ours. But hey if BioWare doesn't want our money...fine by me.

How dumb do you think we are? This kind of thing happens too often (stealth changes) for anyone with half-a-brain to believe it wasn't intentional.

Y'know I'm very vocal about the things I think they've done wrong and continue to do wrong. But the combination of factors is seriously making me consider finally ending my sub after being here since beta. Really Bio? And nice how you don't bother to even mention it in patch notes....That's not slimy at all. The bs spin on the "new event" in reality being nothing actually new, cm pack price increase, removing the armor vendors on fleet with the legacy stuff they added not long ago....and now finally this.....I think I may be done. I'll wait to see if they say something about it..like if it's temporary or they revert it back...but I'm sick and tired of seeing BioWare nerf crap that makes people reasonable money (and I do mean reasonable, not excessive) and other bs decisions is the final straw I think. Just more proof that not only is BioWare Austin, BioWare in name-only...but also that they have no business running an MMO....

Because, genius, SOMEONE still had to buy those crates to contains those items you're spending in-game credits on.....In other words it changes nothing. Only way to really do anything is to not buy CM stuff AT ALL (using any means, in game or not) and then hope that enough people follow suit to actually effect change.

And something those thinking and wanting new FP's/OP's should seriously think and be worried about....if they can't even make content for a "new event" then how can you think they'll ever put in the time/effort for "new" OPs/FP's....I don't see them coming for a very long time, if at all after seeing what this hyped "new event" entails....nothing but old content...

Sorry but your real-world facts have no bearing in the SW universe, where more things violate the laws of physics than adhere to them.
