In the Manaan Stronghold, its pretty much worthless to place, its partially hidden and you can't see through the windows well enough to enjoy it, its a sort of bathroom glass. Clear windows like the Dromnund Kaas Stronghold would be better, with so much of the Manaan stronghold being outside... In the the Rishi Stronghold, there is a pretty good place to put it in the ocean. And when you first place it there, its perfectly visible from the beach and it looks great. But the next time you come to the strong hold, it fails to render - as if the rendering distance is too far! If you pick it up and place it again, it will render again, until you leave and return and won't render the planets anymore. The simple solution would be to bring the ship sized hook a little bit closer in! Its really very far out. Yes, you *can* put it on the beach, but then it completely takes over your beach - its much better off the coast...

There are FP's that I just don't use, because I'd have to run to the area I'd actually care to use. If EA turned that object into a placeable object, they could sell it on the cartel market and make player strongholds a lot more flexible for player's preferences...

I had a lot of characters between 70 and 75 to level up to 80, without any new story line available. So obviously, FPs are the least annoying way to do it - in combination with the related weekly quests for queuing for 3 random FP's in Group Finder, with the "Weekly Flashpoints and the "Looking for allies" missions. (my FP list is 28/28 FP's) Sometimes, I get credit for the weekly quests, many times I don't. I've sometimes done 10 random Veteran FP's in a row without ever getting any credit for the weekly quest. Support told me to file a bug ticket, "because we have no powers to fix anything". Does anyone have any insight into this issue? I can't possibly be the only one?

Assault on Tython would only be available to Empire characters, while the Korriban invasion would only be available to Republic characters. So your list should always only be 28/28, no?

Hard to imagine Bioware hasn't taken care of making emotes convenient after so many years! Few people use few emotes - if they were convenient and easy to chain, they might sell a lot more!

You don't get a companion on this fight! Otherwise, it would be no problem. But Heskal has endless interrupts and stuns - as gunslinger, you can only really do stuff when you're in "Take Cover" with "hunker down" activated. Shooting / killing the apparitions restores a little bit of your health, so that's definitely a priority. But I just can't get through this on my gunslinger. On my Assassin, I had no problems. But trying it on my Gunslinger has wasted over 5 hours of my time now...

Frankly, this "expansion" seems like all old content barely warmed over. Beyond that, the character and other windows you interact with are pretty broken: You can't even try a dye from the cartel store on your companion among many other issues. Some of my characters had all their abilities missing and many other annoyances. But the worst is really that I haven't seen anything new... Also, Vette, which I had successfully reclaimed after she died - my one '50' character has been removed as dead with this so-called expansion. So to put a top on this, there is no obvious way to unsubscribe... Can anyone point me to the subscription exit, please?

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer! I was doing group content with my usual list of unchecked FPs, since I prefer avoiding annoying, lengthy or failure prone FPs over getting a daily reward So that explains why nothing was showing up in achievements...

Or do you need to earn her on every character you want her for? Also, I did 3 flashpoint quests through group finder, but there wasn't any notification of the mentioned achievement nor having earned Darth Hex...

It is now October 18th, 2017 In spite of numerous patches since the first reports, there has been no fix! Bioglare, do you EVER consider fixing content that once worked, until one of your patches broke it? I've put a LOT of effort into Star Fortresses on multiple characters and I'm still without bracers, not to mention that a few decorations would be nice for all the effort! This content was more enjoyable than some of your other content, but with zero rewards, it doesn't really work. Would be nice to see it fixed and added to the group finder options!

Just to avoid people thinking I might be confusing things: I'm strictly and only talking about purple mods and enhancements with 246 rating named "something mod 54" and "something enhancement 54", which dropped inside command crates in the following two ways: - mods and enhancements were installed in a piece of armor - just a lose mod or enhancement was in the box : : My Cybertech is 600 on lvl 70 character : : I've been able to reverse engineer purple Mods and enhancements of the 240 (51) variety without issue. : : I know other people have been able to reverse engineer the 246 rated items, since crafted ones are on GTN. : : I've been told that specifically and only the items dropping from command crates can be reverse engineered. Is it bugged since some recent patch or is there some way to make it work? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for the detailed info!! As for drinks - alcohol is a terribly unhealthy and at the same time a boring and fruitless drug... Probably the reason its legal. Corporations prefer if you don't live past pension age. Paying people while they're not working is just abhorrent to their share holders, the banks. Ideally, they want to take that little house you've been paying off for your family in trade for some equally fruitless chemo-therapy, before you drop into your coffin. That's why your water has anorganic minerals in it and fluoride, your food msg and high-fructose corn-sirup, where you can't taste the obscene amount of sugar in your TV dinner etc. People don't naturally get cancer, they have to be sold the wrong food and toxic cosmetics for decades, cause that pesky human body is so damned resilient.

So far, I found I can only reverse engineer purple 230 (46) and 240 (51) mods - Any blue mods have "no research available" - Any mods with 232, 234, 236, 242, 244 or 248 rating could not be reverse engineered. - I have NEVER seen ANY 246 item drop, only yellow 242, blue 244 or yellow 248... So how did YOU get your 246 (54) rated "something something 54" recipes? . Aside from that, isn't this new, extremely narrow stepping of 228, 230, 232, 234, 236, 242, 244, 246, 248 just eyewash? Certainly seems like putting too fine a point on it.... Another case of Bioglare making you squint... Too much fluoride in their drinking water?

I think EA prefers you buy "maintenance" gifts in the cartel market and therefore keeps them difficult to obtain by ordinary means...

I'm still waiting for my Zakuul stronghold...! And here, EA wants to shaft me off to Manaan and Umbara instead? ewww... Zakuul stronghold please, with easy access to MY throne!
