Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hello members of the Shadow Syndicate!

I wanted to share some more information around how Fen Zeil and the Shadow Syndicate reputation will work once Galactic Season 3 is live.

Obtaining Syndicate Plans after Galactic Season 3 starts
Previously we announced that Shadow Syndicate Plans would continue to drop until the start of Galactic Season 3, as long as players hadn’t completed the Shadow Syndicate reputation. When Galactic Season 3 starts, these plans will still be available but we will be adding an additional requirement for obtaining them.

With Galactic Season 3, Shadow Syndicate Plans will drop from mobs around the galaxy for players who

• Have not maxed out the Shadow Syndicate reputation track
• Have Fen Zeil as an active companion

This additional requirement will prevent issues of players trying to increase the reputation of past Galactic Seasons while a new season ...

OK we gotta pick a conversation here or twitter     I would prefer here if its all the same to you?  

Much appreciated, and thanks again for jumping on it. Is there anything that can be done with my account on the interim so i can actually play? I dont need it till later this afternoon/tonight but, yeah, if this is going to take a while please see what can be done? Thanks

I cannot guarantee a timeline as it depends on what the issue is and what the solve is. It's currently being investigated. I will update the thread here with an update from the team when they have one.

Answered on twitter, lol  Thanks so much for jumping on this.
No that did not work, even using my second computer still failed, although the site wasnt as borked. 
Apparently my auto renew payment failed, which it should not have, i got not notification of this, and my account went into preferred mode which i guess is right but there is no reason the payment should have failed.
The error is very non-descript and doesnt give me a reason  for the failure.
I got a similar error a couple days ago trying to add some CC, brushed it off, but apparently whatever this is has been affecting me for more than just the last 24 hours.

I dont know that this issue was but it does not appear to be fixed. 
I logged in tonight to find myself "preferred" when i shouldn't be, and when attempting to check my account on the website it only half loaded and looked like an old text site from decades ago. 
In short i cannot play.
Can someone check the hamster please? 

Hi Floplag, 

Can you confirm if clearing cache/using control 5 works? Thanks.

Hello @JackieKo,  That doesn't work cause the repair button is not active on the launcher for me.  But I have the issue that I can log in.  But the "PLAY" button does nothing and acts like a toggle (highlight on/off) so the actual game never starts up.

@-Rachel-Can you please download the installer from the dow...

Hi everyone, 

We’re seeing some common issues players are reporting that can be fixed by using the Repair function. We wanted to highlight these scenarios for players, so they can get into a working state. 

• If you see these type of errors:
• Game not launching
• Launcher crashing
• Blank launcher screen
• Slow launcher

Please try:

• Open the launcher, go to settings, and run the Repair function
• Or, if your launcher crashed during upgrade, please download the new installer from this page, run it, and choose "Repair"

If you are still experiencing issues and have not submitted your log file to Support, we highly suggest you do, so we can troubleshoot the issues ...

The subscription purchase issues are now fixed. Thanks for your patience.

Hi folks,

Our team is currently looking into the subscription purchase issues players might encounter. We will update you when we have more information.

Hey Operations players!

Now that you’ve had time to challenge The R-4 Anomaly, we wanted to gather feedback on how rewards and gear were distributed. If you need a refresher on the gearing system, check here! As a highlight from this post, the main goals of the R-4 gearing system are Progression as a Group and Progression on every Kill.

Let’s start with Progression as a Group. Bosses in The R-4 Anomaly drop 2 boss-specific tokens per defeat that can be exchanged for Virulent gear, the highest item rating available from the operation. These tokens are tradeable for a 2 hour window to any member of the operation. This lets a group move rewards to a chosen player and ensures that early bosses remain desirable after multiple clear...

Thank you.  This is a really important feature that is missing from these new forums.  Devs, if you're reading, PLEASE add the ability to navigate Dev posts within a thread.

Hey Sarova, 

Just acknowledging that this is a feature we are investigating adding. I don't want to derail the thread with forum feature suggestions, but I at least wanted to let you know that is something we are discussing.
