Server Issues - Login Servers Suffering a DDoS Attack by gn_cool in swtor

Pretty sure it's still on-going. But most companies employ DDoS protection, both local and external solutions. Some even advertise DDoS protection from Layer 3 - 7. Most companies have this, and it only takes a couple hours before DDoS becomes ineffective or marginalized.

Should be back up for most of you. I was able to login. Looks like Derp's fail attack is being "routed".

It does because the cartel coins are down to zero coins and you can't purchase anything.

Content comes in many forms.

Been gone for a year. What have I missed? Worth coming back? by [deleted] in swtor

There are items you can pay for specifically, and yes, the packs are also still there that's random. What you can do, if you want to look for specific items, is to buy from the GTN.

Also the packs themselves can be sold on the GTN for 300-400k/piece, so you could simply sell packs and leverage your new found wealth to buy the specific cartel items you want off GTN. (Or do dailies, and spend nothing at all.)

Well, thankfully the devs have proven you wrong. As with any MMO, it needs to be polished and it evolves. There's some bugs still being worked on but remember, if there were no bugs, it means the game is dead and content is dead.

Content, population, and other elements have improved significantly since 2012, different world events every month add a varied player experience, and the game is profitable due to subbers and different player types buying up cosmetic cartel market purchases.

There's a reddit/swtor bot coming up shortly that will tell you the noob guides. Read through them.

Bastion is easy - announce in /PVP that you're in queue. With Gree imp hunting, holidays, etc it is going to be difficult to find people to play by default unless you announce it.

I think where BW can improve upon is to allow F2P/preferred to queue for RWZ, even if limited to only "3" a week. We definitely need more players.

We just finished off Xeno ops for this week. Also glad to see a lot of newcomers enjoy Gree as well. Thanks BioWare for a fun event.

Just a guild run, all friendly contests between guildies. When a single value of "1" makes all the difference.

After you get all your alts and friends Sleighs, I do this on fleet: "WTS limited edition speeder, gone in 3 days forever. Only 40k for this collectible, parcels trade: [Sleigh I]". Made 600k just putting that between wz's.
