Hi all!

I wanted to take a moment and go a little deeper into our new Login Rewards system!

What Is the Login Reward System?
The Login Reward System is a new way to earn rewards each time you log into the game. All players, regardless of their subscription status, are eligible to participate.

In addition to the Login Reward, Subscribers are eligible for a Weekly Bonus Reward! Subscribers who log into the game at least 4 days during a week will be eligible to claim their Weekly Bonus Reward, which will vary from week to week.

Earn At Your Own Cadence
One of our primary design goals for the Login Reward system was to allow you the opportunity to progress your Reward Calendar at your own pace, without missing rewards! As such, the system tracks accumulated logins (think of a punch card), providing you with a reward every time you log into the game.

This means that if you log into the game for the first time ... Read more

Hello everyone!

PTS is now live! Players can experience the Spirit of Vengeance Flashpoint, Login Rewards, and Emote Window.

The Spirit of Vengeance

Jump into the PTS to test The Spirit of Vengeance Flashpoint! In this Flashpoint, renegade Mandalorians commanded by Heta Kol ambushed one of Shae Vizla�s capital ships - The Spirit of Vengeance II - to rip it apart and steal priceless Mandalorian relics. Players will fight these renegades to free Shae Vizla's ship and save its crew and relics.

To start this Flashpoint, head on over to Odessen. When on Odessen, use the elevator in the West hallway to the �Alliance Operations� room. Upstairs, you will see a marker on the Map to pick-up this Flashpoint. Below you can find the type of feedback that the team is looking for.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to give y'all a heads up about some upcoming category-wide sales on the Cartel Market. Running from November 13th to November 20th starting at 7:00am CST (1:00pm GMT) , the following categories will be on sale:

- 50% off Mounts
- 50% off Mini-pets
- 50% off Companions
- 50% off Emotes

There will be another Cartel Market sale starting November 27th with different categories. Specifics for this sale will be announced a week prior on November 20th. Since we did a cascading sale leading up to Onslaught's release last year, I want to clarify this is not how these sales will function. The sales highlighted above will not carry over to the second sale period.

Hi all,

Our team is still looking into the issues you all encounter.

I'll update you in this thread when I have more information or a workaround.

Hi KronosHunterMHS,

Could you try the troubleshooting shared in this conversation: Game doesn't launch when hitting play......again?

Let me know if this troubleshooting helped you.

Hi SOULCASTER,

Thanks for the report concerning the bug on the character creation window.

I've transferred the information provided to our team. I'll update you when I have more information.

Hi UnahzaalDovah,

The bug you're reporting is a current known issue.

• Missions:
  • There is no lip-sync in the French and German conversation cutscenes in the "Meeting Jekiah Ordo" Mission.

Here is the list of the known issues for Game Update 6.1.4 - Known Issues

Hey folks,

Just to clarify and I think some of you have already alluded to this. The fix that Natha referenced above will remove "I Don't Have to Put up with This" from the requirements for "Master of the Feast".

We refer to meta Achievements as grouping of Achievements over a category, such as how "Master of the Feast" is a collection of Achievements for the Feast of Prosperity.

Hope that clears up any confusion!

Hi folks,

Thanks for reporting your concerns with this achievement. We're currently investigating "I Don't Have to Put up with This" and its requirements to determine if there are any issues affecting it.

In the meantime, we understand the disappointment among those of you who really wanted to unlock the meta achievement "Master of the Feast" and receive the associated title. We're working on a change for an upcoming patch to remove "I Don't Have to Put up with This" from the meta and retroactively complete the achievement for those who fulfilled the other requirements.

Hi folks,

Thank you for the report concerning the Planetary Mission on Hoth "Power Vacuum".

I've transferred the information to our team for additional verification. I'll update you when I know more.

Hi all,

Our team is still looking into the issue you encounter.

For those on Windows 7 who still encounter the C1/C7 error message, updating Visual C++ to the latest version should help you: The latest supported Visual C++ downloads.

Thank you and do not hesitate to let me know if this troubleshooting helped you.
