I found the following text had been edited into my post by Jharm. I can only assume that he meant to post it himself, but apparently missed the New post button. I've taken the liberty of placing it in a seperate post where it belongs.
Hmm....let me guess....security questions?
Anyways...loaded up the launcher and downloaded an update. Been reading through the patch notes and a few changes caught my eye that I am quite pleased about:
-Reverse engineering mode no longer toggles off after reverse engineering an item (there ya go Cameron...less chance of RE'ing your armor eh? hehe)
-Mail sent to another player will now have a 30 minute delay (Im honestly not too certain what it was before cause I never really used the mail but Im assuming was prolly an hour)
-Moving to a new planet instance will no longer trigger the players Quick Travel cooldown (This is a freaking amazing and much required change, especially when a group of friends log on and get split into seperate instances and are trying to get into the same one)
-Using the /stuck command will no longer kill the player unless a safe location cannot be determined. Players can now only use /stuck every 120 seconds. (I know for some people *cough* Fei *cough* this is an amazing change as well....the bum had to kill himself 3 times in a row cause he kept getting stuck on stuff cause he would keep bouncing all over the place)
To answer your question, Jharm, the security question thing is only part of my gripe. Being forced to change our passwords is another, and my biggest gripe is the method they chose to make us do that. Basically forcing us to go through the "Forgot your password" routine before they'd even let us log in, only to allow me to use the exact same password I had before? Waste of time. To be fair, I don't think any of this is Bioware's fault. I've dealt with dickery like this from EA in the past.
Are we all logging into Cosmic Turbine this time? I jumped on that server last time but was all over the place so I didn't put up character names. Maybe we can do a flashpoint if everyone is on sometime.
Yes, Cosmic Turbine is the server. And the good news is that it looks like they didn't wipe any characters. My Republic character is named Aileron, and he's currently stationed on Corucsant. I'm not sure when or if I'll be on tonight, however. I'll post in this thread again when I'm getting ready to login.
