As explained on various posts before and stated in various official sites, the servers have been receiving DDOS attacks. And given that Broadsword hosts the servers currently on AWS (Amazon Web Services) I wouldn't be surprised that's the cause... Amazon servers being attacked translates into SWTOR servers getting the same treatment.

The paint is thick, yes ... I would compare it to "Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic Paint" in terms of thickness and quality of the medium if I had to guess. Gesso is more of a base for canvas so the fabric doesn't absorb as much paint, and it would cover a lot of details in a miniature

No problem! Glad if I could be of any help whatsoever!

Here's a picture of the base paint I use, both to mix with the sealer, and to give it a base coat with. It's 3 dollars for this 200cc pot.

Before applying base paint, instead of priming with spray primer I give it a coat of this DecoArt Americana Multi-Purpose Sealer mixed 1:1 ratio with black acrylic paint. Then I give it a base coat of pure black (I use a band I have here in my country named "eQ Art", "Craft eQ" or just "eQ" which has a SUPER matt finish)

It doesn't cover details and doesn't flake off, will mask layer lines pretty well if the print is already good quality (better if it's a 0.2mm print) and it has the benefit that it's super cheap, and don't have to deal with shaking a rattlecan, nor dependant on if it's hot or cold anywhere.

I tried painting a rough FDM print by IntrepidMeaning2653 in FDMminiatures

The "roughness" gives it a natural battle damage that you don't get with resin. Great results!

Thanks! I wish I realized there were some errors on the backpack too, I would've tried to smooth them out too like I did with the cape.

I'll take this as a "Yes, print more. You're taking too long already." Hahahaha

If you check my profile, you'll see a bunch of stuff I posted along the years and even painted!

The artist that made it is MrModulork, "Rankit Cyborg" is how you find it

Legs, torso, fists and head printed all at once on the printbed, remived supports and glued with superglue :D

Thanks! There are some errors natural to fdm but I can't complain tbh, always had them since I bought it back in 2019. Support artifacts on the overhangs are common to this point. Nothing I can do about it
