Anyone else having trouble getting to the character selection screen? I can log in just fine but then it just perpetually loads with the KOTFE splash screen.

I'm having the same issue. I launched the game and went away for like 10 minutes and when I came back it was still loading the character selection screen. It still is. I tried relaunching it, and it's happening again. I guess they messed something up in that maintenance.

EDIT: All my characters are on Jedi Covenant.

So tomorrow Explosive Conflict is in group finder and I HAVE to see how badly it's been nerfed. 8pm EDT. If we get enough interested people we can do it 16m to Kephess and then split for group finder rewards.

I'll be around for this. From what I've read on other forums, it got nerfed super hard. Toth and Zorn don't get their buff from being close to each other. Hovertanks don't use Incinerate Armor or Double Destruction. Kephess doesn't use Breath of the Masters, doesn't pull people in before doing his giant purple circle, and the Trandoshan waves come out slower. It should be pretty much tank and spank.

I'll be down for this as well. I don't have a full tank set for Inkarisa, but I could probably buy one on Adonnta and shove it over with the 4.5 billion legacy armors I now have.

So...how do I turn on cutscene subtitles? The only subtitle option I found seems to not help much. I only get dialogue when I have a response to give.

Also my camera moves WAY too fast, despite the option being at minimum?

Is it just me, or did the camera start moving during SoR cinematics? It's always a very slow drift, so I start to feel dizzy/disoriented, because all the previous cinematics have used static camera placement.

It definitely did. KotFE takes cinematics to a whole new level for SWTOR, however. There's way more action, choreography, facial expressions, etc.

It's another way that this is the mass effect 2 of swtor; they're actually using camera angles and movement in their cutscenes instead of constant shot, reverse-shot views from before. It's nice.

There's a little fist icon left-of-center in the top-of-window icon bar. That's how you summon people now.

Counting from the left, it's the fifth icon here:

There's a new companion window that defaults to N now. You summon through that. The previous companion window is now bound to B and is used strictly for crafting/gathering.

So for some reason lots of people have been coming back to play this game all of a sudden. I know, it's weird.

That's No Goon is getting full. Leaving aside the logistics of a relatively low character limit in a game that encourages you to play all the alts for all the stories, we need to take measures to ameliorate the cycles of booting inactives and inevitably re-inviting them.

We're starting an alt guild!

We'll get the logistics worked out later tonight, but it should be set up and rolling by this evening. Any characters that you aren't actively playing should be moved over to the new guild, since right now we're down to purging characters who haven't logged in for 20 days. I don't think the population boom will last forever, so I'm expecting more of a holding area than an active second guild, but if the situation changes we can certainly adjust going forward.

So here's the part where we solicit funny names from everyone. One of them may or may not be chosen as the alt guild name.

So, the incredibly annoying mouse twitching bug is still in the game.

It basically makes you turn into a random direction occasionally when using the mouse to turn. I also googled but it seems it has not been fixed nor is there a user generated fix either. This bug has been in since release, Jesus Christ. :psyduck:

Any ways to mitigate this issue? It's infuriating.[/url]

WoW also has this issue. It seems to stem from bad handling of mouse capture -- normally, when you hold down the mouse to look, it hides the cursor, sets its effective location to the centre of the window and then starts recording any delta from that centre to drive mouselook. When the bug happens, it hides the cursor, starts recording deltas and then sets the location to the centre, causing a huge delta and the camera spin that has come to drive hundreds of players crazy.

For a more detailed explanation, people are still quoting my post from 2013 about the issue.

The only solution I've found to "mitigate" it is to get used to always initiate mouselook as close to the centre of the screen as possible.

He has indeed been moved; he's over by The Wall (aka Lord Grathan's estate) now. You should be still good to do it if you've only completed your class story; not sure if you can after starting KOTFE, however, as it is one of those critical/purple story arcs now.
