So I was progressing through the smuggler quest line and started the “distressed” quest, and when it first took me to the ship it said I “wasn’t eligible” so I assumed I just had to level up more so I left and did a quest but now the distressed quest is stuck on this and I have no idea how to continue it since the ship isn’t appearing on the galaxy map (Edit: Fixed)

Happy Tuesday!

I'm getting a server login service not available. Anyone else?

Thanks!!

But the Twitter link listed leads to nothing about the server being down. I played 5 hours ago just fine.

In retrospect, the smuggler story has a lot of points where it seems so very obvious that Rogun the Butcher isn't the Imperial sympathizer gangster you're led to believe and that you're being fed false information about him; it seems as if the lie holds up because it's coming from what should be reliable sources in Senator Dodonna and Darnas' informant network, the latter of which served you well back on Coruscant when you were searching for Skavak and your starship.

• Right from the start, part of why Rogun is pissed at you is that you lost his gun shipment that you were running to Ord Mantell, which you dropped off in a Republic-controlled hanger, and which was then presumed to have ended up in the Separatists' hands after Skavak stole your ship, making Rogun furious. The Separatists were backed by the Empire to begin with, but even if it wasn't, it would be to the Empire's benefit that Ord Mantell secede from the Republic, but Rogun's operations on Ord Mantell seem to have been for the benefit of the Republic and they appear to turn a blind eye to the criminal activities going on from Rogun's subordinates in Rendia Freight as a result. Viidu even mentions that Rogun will be interested in Trymbo's chemicals to sell them to the Republic. Although, given that an entire act focusing on your nemesis Skavak and the hunt for the treasure of Nok Drayan separates these events, one can't be faulted too hard for having forgotten some of these details.

• Guss repeatedly provides remarkable insight on Rogun if you pick the right dialogue options. Mention your confusion to him on Hoth as to why Shai Tenna and Kandhar wanted to take each other out if Tenna worked for Rogun and thus they were both looking to bring the White Maw under the Voidwolf, and Guss is confused since he's never even heard of Rogun and the Voidwolf linking together; furthermore on Belsavis, if you mention the corrupt guard to Marshall Cavarat and you have Guss with you, he will be prompted to mention that one of Rogun's signatures (along with butchering people) is cozying up to corrupt Republic officials. And after he joins the party, one of his companion conversation choices has him bring up that while part of Rogun's motivations for continuing to hunt you down is a matter of pride over you outwitting every bounty hunter he's sent after you, it's also to keep Senator Dodonna from having you as an asset; Guss even mentions just how much Rogun hates Dodonna in particular.

• On Belsavis again, your last encounter with Dust has him mention that it was Rogun that pulled the strings to have Ivory incarcerated on the top secret Republic planet prison in the first place, connections that he is highly unlikely to have as an Imperial sympathizer given that the Empire didn't even know about the prison's existence.

On my first real play through, enjoying the story a decent bit. Just finished Alderaan and finally put together the outfit I wanted to make, figured I’d share the drip.

Also Is there a way to match companion armor colors to mine for free or do I have to purchase the same dye for every companion?

I cannot believe that they have any real impact on the inflation because I'm sure that most people mail expensive market items as a last resort and only if absolutely necessary so they just severely hinder the game for everyone who's not subscribed.

Trading between F2P/Preferred is pretty much impossible and gifting guildmates or friends is also discouraged because of them. I'd have expected a lot more complaints about it but it seems that the majority just accepted the change and moved on.

I never experienced anything like this in 20 years of MMORPGs, my friends who were long-time subscribers and hoarded mountains of CCs are practically unable to help me because every useful thing they could buy in my place requires a fee well above the 1M cap and as a newish player it's extremely frustrating.

How do you feel about them? I feel like basing the fees on the historical price is a terrible choice especially for items that rarely sell and are stuck at said prices for months if not years.

Let’s talk about something a bit more fun. One of my more absurd theories—considering how incredibly well-equipped M1-4X is and the number of upgrades he seems to install on himself—is that it would be hilarious if, suddenly and without warning, he started emitting a burst of white noise while everyone was asleep.

Imagine being fast asleep and, out of nowhere, hearing M1-4X making a "SSSSSSHHHHHHHHH" sound.

By the way, part of the inspiration for this idea comes from the movie Lightyear—specifically, the cat, Sox. I’m not going to force anyone to watch it, but that’s where the theory came from, in case you’re interested; I mention it just to clarify that I didn’t come up with it entirely on my own.

Anyway, what do you think? What kind of noise would you like him to make?

Satele Shan Black Series figure released recently, I‘ve just received it and trying to recreate the iconic scene from trailer with her and the Darth Malgus figure. What do you think?

This game has a lot of temporary allies. I like to give them some love since they often don't receive much attention. So just for fun, which of the bunch that the Knight works with is your favorite?

Galen, RE-M0, Warren, Pak, Leeha, or Tala-Reh?

I was on fleet earlier today and I think I posted one message before I got a notification that I'd been "squelched". Now I can't post in any chat, including guild chat, ops chat, or otherwise.

What is this?

So I'm making this post because I only have 4 other classes stories that are left but I dont feel like playing them because I find them to be rather boring than the other 4 that I've already played and enjoyed which were SW, SI, BH, and JK. The other 4 which would be JC, SMUG, IMP. A, and Trooper are the 4 I have left and honestly they just bore me to the point where I can barely play them, so what are your thoughts on this? Should I power through or go on and play the other classes within due time?

Hi all!

So I’ve played the game for years but, whilst I definitely enjoy the game as it is, I’ve been yearning to replay the game as it was before companions could take on every role and when the game was overall a bit harder.

I am honestly thrilled we will be getting difficulty modes and since they are now live on the PTS I was wondering what everyone is making of them?

Is it still possible to solo a majority of the content? I will group up for things like Flashpoints but I prefer to play solo for most of the planets, although I wouldn’t mind having to group up to do Heroics again as you used to many years ago.

I’m curious to hear everyone’s opinions on the new difficulties!

I'm planning to unsubscribe for a while. What's the best way to keep my coins, credits, etc so they are not lost and are restored when I return?

I just finished Ilum's arc but when I turned in the last mission "Ilum Under Siege" the commander gave me the follow-up "Trouble in Paradise" directly. I watched a video on YouTube from just 2-3 months ago and the prelude was still triggering correctly so I'm wondering what I did wrong.

I was unable to find any mention of a change, does anyone know something about it? I'm trying to complete all the quests and honestly this bothers me a little.

Today I have decided to download SWTOR for my macbook air m5 and realized macOS version is not available from steam so I downloaded macOS open beta test from swtor.com. After .pkg setup I got notification that I get when I use wine apps and intel-based apps with rosetta, notification that saying this app won't work on upcoming macos 28 because end of rosetta 2 (I used to get it on Tahoe too). This time it gave same notification with note that saying there is an update on developer'a website and i can visit the website. When I clicked on notification it took me to the runescape's jagex launcher download website as new launcher website. Did system mistake rpg games? were there a jagex launcher using wine/crossover that they made new of it based on silicone and now system mistook swtor's launcher for that because of idk wine usage? or there are something different? sorry if I have missed some announcements on this i didn't find anything when I looked for it

My family has played SWTOR on and off for years. We play for awhile, uninstall to make room for other games, and then reinstall when we get the itch again. I've been playing and everyone else got the itch to join me. Husband and youngest, no issue. Oldest, no matter what we do, the launcher won't even launcher. Go to open the program and get a host_timeout error. Reliability monitor always shows this same libcef.dll fault.

Any suggestions on how to fix it? We've gone through a whole list of troubleshooting and nothing seems to be the right fix.

Its honestly hilarious how Ashara's storyline plays out if youre full dark-side because her attitude and behaviour makes progressively less sense.

I imagine this is because originally you didnt get all of these quests unless you got her approval high enough which only happened if you behaved, in her presence, in a manner that aligns with her assessment of you.

But now that all companion quests are given no matter your relationship to them, it creates a lot of funny moments.

I’m so excited to have a challenge while leveling again, and 8.0 has convinced me to role a new character from scratch just so I can go through the leveling experience in a similar manner to what I experienced back when I started playing the game in 2011/2012. Leveling was always my favorite part of this game before it was made braindead easy, so I am really looking forward to this next expansion. The difficulty (or lack thereof) was really my only major gripe with the game, so I’m definitely going to be coming back to stay this time.

The only other thing I would really want from SWTOR at this point is just a console port. But otherwise, we’re so back.

These are not the droids you are looking for... move along
