What's going right/wrong with launch...

The iPhone security app is available now, btw.

Do you know by any chance if the Android version is available?

They've said they are working on it and it's coming "soon". You can always check this page:
http://www.swtor.com/info/security-key

They updated it very quickly once the iPhone app was available.

I would describe the number of issues I've encountered as shockingly few. The most annoying one is the guild roster does not update/display right so if I want to accurately see who is logged in I have to relog.

Use crtl-u to turn the ui off and on, it's faster than reloading.

There is a DETAILS button on the top right side of the guild screen. Click that, and it opens a new window with the correct listings. Close the details page and then the main listing will be fine.

"Issues" (if you could call them that):

1. I've been in 1 queue so far, it was less than 10 minutes. This is obviously dependent on each person's server selection, starting play time, etc.

2. Gathering from crystal nodes in Coruscant is buggy -- some nodes are present and indicated as nodes on the radar, but not "harvestable". I can switch to a different instance of the area and sometimes the same node is there and is harvestable.

3. Viewing a couple of cosmetic items in the dressing room (after clicking the item in a chat link), made that part of my toon's body invisible in the dressing room.

4. A Hilt mod in one of my lightsabers disappeared. It's possible I didn't mod it correctly (i.e. hit the wrong button in the UI and closed instead of applied).

5. The appearance kit I selected for my droid (when you get a choice of one of three after a mission), was not the appearance of the one I had selected in the reward window. :(

6. Running Esseles, myself and another Jedi force leapt at one of the big droids near the end of the run on the Empire ship. We both were instantly teleported to the bottom of the shaft near the droid, and stuck there. We both dropped the group, were kicked from the instance, reinvited to the group, and teleported to a proper point close to the group and were able to keep going.

7. When I ended the Jedi Knight lightsaber mission and defeated the forge guardian, I was left in a "crouched/cowering" animation, even after I left the instance. I logged to the character selection screen then logged back in and it was fixed.


Everything else has run well, and the same goes for the 6 other folks in our guild.

Lord Samus, the Sith trainer has some pretty serious manboobs.

Well, duh. By now everyone knows that Samus is a girl.

[Miasma]

Every male in the game must have manboobs judging by how puffed out all of their chests are.  They're all sort of angular too, like they are wearing those pointy bras from the fifties or something.  It's stupid.

[Thrawn]

I don't know yet if it's visible to other people, but as a Jedi Shadow when I stealth some lightsaber hilts still stay completely visible hanging on my belt.  I noticed when I had the hilts shadow by itself moving along a wall last night.

Hai Guyz Lvl 50 and game sucks

Exposed by armory feed not logic lol.

Troll post with lots of people taking the bait. 

[apocrypha]

A 1600 word troll post surely deserves points for effort. Or insanity.

That doesn't always work, alas. But! The UI thing seems to, so thanks for that, Helm!

[Venkman]

Only problems I've had so far are two un-salvagable objects in Coruscant, and that my guild was assigned Harbinger

I've run into a LOT of broken gathering objects.  But then again I'm running 3 gathering skills too.

Broken slicing nodes make me 

[Sjofn]

Game could use a /hood command. No, that isn't a launch issue really, but I don't care. I am whining anyway.

I've had the node issue too, it is infuriating sometimes.

[Thrawn]

So when I finished my Coursant storyline and got my ship I had two "class" missions to do.  I took the harder one that was a level or two above me (Nar Shaddar instead of Taris).  Ran it all, got lots of levels and gear, and get a new companion.  So then I go to do the other class story line mission.  I quickly realize I did them out of order because now I'm on Taris and all mobs are about 8 levels under me and give no XP, all quests are grey and give 5xp and no chat choices give any plus or minus to my new companion because I'm assuming I'm not supposed to have him yet.   

[Trippy]

/follow doesn't work

[Rendakor]

I've seen a ton of broken Archaeology nodes; not as many in beta (70%+ were broken in the big stress test weekend) but they're still frustrating. I've learned to mouseover them from afar and see if the icon changes before clearing to them.

Thrawn I just hit that moment; I'm running through the lower one first (I was level 18, the breadcrumb was level 15) doing only my class stuff and skipping all the sidequests. I figure by the time I'm done on Balmorra and head to Nar Shaddar I'll be 20+ and can go back to doing all of the quests.

Sjofn there are some robes with the hood up, although I agree that a toggle would be nice.

My follow hotkey works (I bound it to F), but I've never tried /follow.

[Thrawn]

So uh, the auction house interface is TERRIBLE. 

[Trippy]

Can you actually auto-follow more than 20 yards without getting "stuck" and stopping?

[trias_e]

So uh, the auction house interface is TERRIBLE. 

The interface in general is quite poor, but the auction house takes the cake for being a real pile.  There's nothing worse than trying to browse the auction house, send companions on missions, and compare stuff in your inventory to your characters equipment/auction house items.  Amazingly frustrating, as whenever your companion gets back from the mission the fucking auction house window disappears with your search along with it.  Not to mention you can't have your character window, inventory, and auction house open at the same time (at least at the resolution I'm playing at).

[Thrawn]

Don't forget the fact you can be browsing things and at LAST have all your filters finding the right items only to have a companion return from a mission and auto close everything when his mission window pops up.

[sam, an eggplant]

It's pretty bizarre. The work is already done-- just rip off the most popular WoW auction mod.

[Trippy]

The only way to explain how crappy the UI is is they hired people who have never played an MMO before (except for maybe EQ) and were forbidden from playing any while working on the game to do the design.

I feel similarly about whoever designed/tested/approved Slicing, it's so completely broken in it's current state.  It will wreck the economy by itself if they don't figure it out.  It's a gathering skill that pays you very well to level it up.  "Oh, you spent 700 to send someone on a mission?  Lets pay you out 4,000 then to make up for it and throw in a few blue/purple items for you to sell on occasion too."

Balmorra has this "bonus" missions after you're done, so I thought what the hell, can't be much more than a couple. At some point I had like 15 active quests and my OCD was kicking into overdrive, so I decided to quit and see if I can skip them when I log back in :)

[Cyrrex]

I'm a bit of a fanboy, so you get the Fox News Fair and Balanced version from me:

Things going wrong:

- Archaeology nodes not working (duh).  I just pretend that some filthy BH scum beat me to the node.  There are enough nodes scattered about that this isn't a big concern.
- Disabled AA....seems my ATI card on my laptop forces it.  The GTX 570 in my desktop does not.  May have to try the trick posted earlier somewhere.
- Sometimes random NPC conversations (talking amongst themselves) trigger only after I am way out of range.  Kinda strange.
- Surprisingly rare, but sometimes the companion AI has a little trouble finding the target I am hitting, such as if it is just around a corner from where she is.  Not a biggie.

Going right:

- Game has been buttery smooth for me.  No lag, no queues, no hiccups, no crashes, no FPS issues.
- The story - for the Sith Warrior at least - is freaking cool.  I like it even more than I thought I would.  It also gets me very much in an ARRPEE mood*, which no MMO ever really has for me.
- I  the companion implementation, both how they have integrated the crew skills, but also just in general.  Even though I am trying to be a very dark Sith, I find myself compromising certain actions when I know Vette's watching me.  Sometimes I send her out to search for treasure when I know a particularly nasty conversation is about to happen.  It is fun trying to strike the balance of being definitively evil, yet still remain in her favor. 
- I know we are supposed to hate all the yukky DIKU combat, but I don't.  It's snappy enough, and I feel that I am raping an appropriate amount of face.  I feel wonderfully powerful, which is something that a surprising number of MMOs fail miserably at.

 *My character (Crunch) is an elitist,  arrogant, unapologetic, somewhat naive and fairly racist (purebloods only!) dick.  His only redeeming quality is his loyalty to the cause...although, Vette is giving him second thoughts on the whole slavery issue.  At least as it pertains to her specifically.  I am going to try to be consistent with that.  Thanks to those of you that have played along so far.  Apologies to the rest of you who, probably just think I am an asshole.

[Reg]

My Sith Warrior has gone pretty much pure light side and same as you it's because of 'Vette. I just can't kick puppies when she's watching me.  And I really like how the story accommodates itself to my choices.

[jakonovski]

The bounty hunter story is a bit schizophrenic, made worse by the itemization demanding light or dark side. I'd really love to play a "the job gets done, always" kind of character, but...

[Wolf]

I'm having MUCH less fun with my sithy sith since I realised I don't really like the dark side corruption visual effect :(

[Cyrrex]

I think they should offer up some alchemy/sorcery options that (for some kind of investment of time or money) allow you to keep your normal appearance.  It wouldn't be unprecedented for Sith to do such things.

THey will still know, even if you send them away. Kaliyo had some minor disapproval for me after doing a flashpoint, even if she spent the entire time unsummoned.

Take your disapproval hits like a big bad sith you are, or slap her for questioning you if she dares

You can turn off sith corruption in preferences.  It's on the social tab.

[Wolf]

yap, a tad buggy as I said above, but you can. I just wish I could have the red eyes without the veiny shit.
