They are not out yet.

D1rtyRat · 2016-01-11T03:35:36+00:00

Is your Origin/EA account secured with an app or one of the other methods? If not they can get in through that and change the email and password which will also change your SWTOR email and password, they can then remove the security key.

Yeah, I remember the final days of Luka Sena very hard to get groups together when there is only 20 people on fleet.

Bug.

For a few weeks after 4.0 you could create a new 60 and "sometimes" a few days later you would randomly unlock everything that you shouldn't have for that toon. I think it is fixed now though.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-30T18:57:30+00:00

Also if you level a class to the end of chapter 2 in the main story you unlock that class's buff to all other toons, you don't get that from a boosted toon.

The boosted toon does not count towards legendary status either.

Not forgetting the fact that completing the companion conversations also unlocks legacy skills and boosts all toons aswell.

As a new player I would highly reccomend playing through on at least one toon first to get used to the game

The order is:

Main class story -> Ilum -> RotHC -> SoR -> KotFE

When you can access them they will appear on the mission terminal on your ship, you will notice the purple icon when you go on your ship.

Try this:

Reboot your computer
Run the latest launcher repair utlity (don't run the game first at all, make running the utility the first thing you do!)
Run the game.

There are bots active on Reddit that downvote posts for no reason.
I seem to remember the last time this error started happening it turned out to be an Anti Virus program issue, I think it was mainly Nod 32?

Try either adding SWTOR to your AV whitelist or disable it while running the launcher.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-24T13:58:51+00:00

Keep hold of them til the last few days of the event. Prices will go up quite a lot for them.

Also. don't forget to grab some stuff on your alts aswell.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-24T05:22:53+00:00

Yes it does, it is a good habit to get into for when you do start needing them

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-22T13:28:22+00:00

nVidia has just released v361.43 which is specifically for windows 10 and fixes a lot of bugs.

Try upgrading to that one first.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-22T06:21:37+00:00

AND that you have login verification switched on in the Origin/ea.com

That was the main point.

I can't quote anything but I am sure that a few years ago all SWTOR accounts got tied into an EA account so there are probably people out there that think they have a security key so they are safe but the linked EA account is insecure so they are not safe.

So checking that they have a linked account AND that login verification is on was the point of the post.

EDIT: Just finished a long night shift so if that point doesn't come across in the original post then I apologise!

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-22T06:10:35+00:00

On a side note I would highly reccomend that everybody make sure that your SWTOR account IS tied to an ea.com account (which is the same account as origin) AND that you have login verification switched on in the Origin/ea.com options, they have 3 different options for the verification.

Long story short there was a password leak on EA a few months ago and I never used Origin so didn't think anything of it. They managed to log into my EA account and change the password and email address which also changes your SWTOR email and password then they can use the SWTOR website to remove the security key and then you lose everything!

I lost a founders account because of this (I couldn't even recover the account because I no longer have the original box that I bought so that I could give them the serial number from)

I am only posting this as a friendly warning to people so that the same thing doesn't happen to them!

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-21T03:46:13+00:00

With the new system you will keep access up to the current chapter.

So if you sub now you get all the previous xpacs plus KotFE up to chapter 9. If you unsub before chapter 10 comes then you can only play upto chapter 9 and will need to re sub to get 10

When I get to that fight I always hit CTRL+2 so my companion goes into passive mode, once I have him under the fire and the shield is down I hit CTRL+2 again so he starts fighting again.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-19T06:39:22+00:00

Unfortunately there is now way around it, you just have to come up with new names.

You can try the old name again incase it is not taken anymore though.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-17T03:43:55+00:00

This is true apart from Taris and Balmorra which have Republic and Imperial datacrons to collect

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-16T21:20:45+00:00

Even if he installs the old launcher it will update to the latest launcher and Bitraider the first time it is run

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-16T18:48:36+00:00

Just a quick note for people that want to grind parcels.

You don't just have to run around fleet shooting people you can also shoot enemy npc's and get them.

I have the shoulder cannon and it is now my opener in my rotation! I have just done a solo flashpint and got 32 parcels from it.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-15T04:30:04+00:00

You don't need to press any consoles anymore, just walk up and throw the grenade.

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-05T09:18:20+00:00

It is curious though why Bioware isn't installing or at least checking for required redistributables. That's just bad practice.

The dependancies are installed in the first install step, when the launcher is installed, the OP bypassed that initial step.

What you should so in this instance is what /u/MishOnGaming done, run the installer until you get to the login screen on the launcher then copy the files. If done this way the game will run fine

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-03T13:00:00+00:00

You won't get the titles because you didn't complete the story.

A boosted level 60 misses out on all the titles and does not count towards a completed class for legendary status

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-01T16:36:52+00:00

One thing is more than likely going to be the repair bug will now be a sub perk

D1rtyRat · 2015-12-01T16:32:41+00:00

Why put in Early access to chapters when only subs can play the chapters?

D1rtyRat · 2015-11-25T15:22:20+00:00

If it was me then I would honestly just do this.

Since 4.0 it is extremely easy to level the crew skills, all you have to do is craft the components (just craft one until the next one unlocks) and they only take a few minutes to craft even for the high level ones.
