Hi dsbrock,

As mentioned in this thread: Agent Story Mission on Voss Bugged and in the the known issues list: Game Update 6.1.4 - Known Issues, the issue you encounter is a known issue.

Our team is currently looking into it. I'll update you in the threads above when I have more information.

Hi TattooYoda,

Thanks for the report.

Our team is currently investigating this bug. I'll update you when I have more information.

I've added the following issue to the list:

• The "Task at Hand" Mission can not be completed by Republic characters. The launch button, walking into the phase, or using the highlighted keyboard, are not triggering the cutscene.
  • Workaround: Resetting the mission on the fleet and not on Odessen should allow players to start the Mission with the launch button.

We've seen good results so far from the fix we deployed and so we are now rolling it out to all servers. Let us know if you continue to experience being grouped with another player and then get placed in a separate Warzone.

Thanks all.

Hi everyone! I know the guild ships have been disappearing for a lot of guilds lately, and it seems like it's been around forever. The good news is that things should be much better after the release of 6.1.4. Since this has been around a while, I wanted to take a bit of time to give you all a peek behind the curtain to help explain why it was so hard to track down. I also really want you to understand just how much we appreciate your forum posts and bug reports. Even when we don't reply, as a developer my first stop in investigating a backend issue is always looking at logs, and the more detailed the reports are, the easier it is for me to find something.

A bit of background on the Backend
Like many games, we store our persistent character data in a database. To make updates faster, we have a cache layer between the game and the database that batches up updates. Then we write the batch to the database. The benefit is we get better performance, but the drawback ... Read more

Hi GeeksCraft,

Thanks for reminding me of this bug. I was currently adding it to the list. You were too fast.

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

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports concerning the lip-sync bug in the conversation cutscenes of "Meeting Jekiah Ordo" Mission in French and German.

Our team is currently investigating this bug. I'll update you when I have more information.

Hi folks,

I've added the following issues to the list:

• Items:
  • The Obsidian Squad Recon Walker's visual effects disappear when the mount is used or when the flourish is used.
• Others:
  • The ENTER button can not be used to initiate research in the filter section of the �Who� tab.
  • Quick Travel Mission and summon can lead to instant death.
  • Right-click "Invite to group" option doesn't always work.

Hey folks,

As some of you know there has been an intermittent issue in SWTOR where in rare circumstances, grouped players can end up in different Warzones. We are testing a fix for that this evening on Darth Malgus only. If you are a PvPer on DM, feel free to jump in and queue for Warzones like you always do. Let us know if you run into any issues! We'll circle back tomorrow and let you know what we are seeing. Thanks as always.

Hi all,

Thanks for the different reports concerning Quick Travel and Summon leading to instant death.

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

Hi all,

Thanks for the different reports concerning the item level bug.

Our team is currently investigating it. I'll update you when I have more information.

Hey everyone!

After some investigation throughout the day, the team has discovered a scheduling bug with the Conquests at the launch of Game Update 6.1.4. The effect of it will be that this week's Conquest, The Balance of Power, will also run next week. The Conquest and Event schedule will return to a normal rotation after this double listing. We apologize to anyone that was looking forward to the Rakghoul event this week. I've also updated the website schedule to reflect this.

Here is the patch notes for Game Update 6.1.4a:

• The following enemies required for the Prep Work Missions in the Feast of Prosperity event will now respawn more quickly:
  • The Escaped Nexu
  • The Sandskimmer Scyk
  • The Geo Beast Larva
• Corrected a typo in the Feast Attire�s Armor Set description to properly state the Armor Set�s source: Feast of Prosperity.
• The character�s name will now be displayed when using the Disguise Terminal: Cantina Dasher.
• The Infamous Bounty Hunter's Armor Helmet will now have a modulation voice in cutscenes.

Edit: Additional bugs have been fixed with this Game Update:

• Fixed an issue where item ratings were being calculated incorrectly.
• Weekly PvP Missions will no longer be auto-completed whenever a player from the same group picks up an identical Mission from the PvP Mission Terminal.
