welp, new patch came out and again I cant play the game. Like the last patch I get stuck on the "chains in the dark" screen with the loading cog rotating...during the last patch if I let my game sit for a while and then close it ..it would eventually let me load into the character select screen...now it does not. I'm a subscriber, which I read is the majority of the people having this happen. How are you all able to eventually fix this on your end?

After Last nights announcement from the Bioware development team I've decided to stop playing SWTOR. I attempted to rush the trooper story so I could have commando unlocked for my Merc main and even planned on finishing the class stories so I could say I finally did it but I feel that the game is not really as fun as I remember it being, lots of game breaking bugs and annoyances are still in the game(NPC's invisible, camera randomly moving still, codex missing, Camera's in cut scenes zoomed in where they are not supposed to be, Dialog sentences not really fitting with the voice lines..ect.) the new stories are not as good as they used to be (IMO seems to be a lot of poorly written fan service). Lots of modern quality of life elements are being ignored (a new modern map system with terrain depth and/or color, a better UI that can toggle off strong hold announcements in cut scenes ect..) Instead they seem to use their resources to add new items to the cash shop and slowly bread crumb story to keep the player base coming back. It would be great to see them turn around with a new enemy and story but instead we keep getting the Emperor, Revan and Malgus coming back again and again with some "The Mandalorian" fan service sprinkled on top to keep the non force users in a story that makes a little more sense to them. I've seen this all in the World of Warcraft and when I finally stopped giving them my money I had already spent way more then the game was worth. It's my opinion that these new class changes were put in as a way to resnag interest as well as keep players in just to grind. If you wish to have a certain class as one of your secondary advanced classes you will have to unlock it on your legacy by grinding out up to chapter 3 on that class..to then leave the character and go back to the one that you were invested in the first place..that seems like a bad design and I feel it wont be too long until you can just buy the legacy unlock in the cartel market. Also you will only be able to pick one new advanced class on a pre-existing character or decided on deleting that character that you invested so much time in for a new one that gets 2 advanced classes. This seems like its either very poorly designed or a last minute change because the marketing team is forcing the devs to implement a way for more player engagement. I'm gonna just end my rant by saying, how is it we are just now being told about this? The expansion is going to drop in a few weeks? Did they leave that info out so that everyone would come back in hopes to gear up for the expansion? Well if so they got me for a little wile at least...for the last time. You guys overall are a great community. Maybe even greater after I leave. Peace out!

I figured out a work around!!!!! Today I had this same bug happen to me, I tried using other characters and he was still invisible. I then deleted the cache but had the same issue. I finally figured I would hang out and beg people to group/share the quest that were taking the quest. This took longer then expected, people didn't reply back or couldn't (free to play?) You will have to join conversation with the player your grouped with to be able to turn in the quest in as well since the npc is still invisible and non interactable even when targeted. I'm glad I got this done and was able to help you all, I've spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out on forums....even tried looking up the command to interact with target..to no avail. Happy Thanksgiving!
