Thread: Structures losing admin lists???

Has anyone else had this issue? Let me expand:

Two days ago, I received a /tell from our harvest team leader... He couldn't get into our harvesters in Kaadara... (Now, mind you, 26 out of our 31 harvesters are in Kaadara) So, I run out there myself, lo and behold, I can't get into any of them either... NOBODY can, and we've been using them without a hitch for over a month now...
Then yesterday, I get a call on my cellphone from a friend of mine saying "Dude, when you re-deeded the resource house, you forgot to add me to the admin list"... So I'm like "**edit**, I KNOW I added you... You were the FIRST person..."
Well, I log in after work, and I get *3* /tells from people "Hey! What happened? We could get into the resource house last night, but not today"
So, again, I go to check it out... And I can get in, but I'm not an admin!
Of course, this totally screws us because 1) We can't get any new resources to feed our 4 weaponsmiths and 2 architects, and 2) We can't get at the 100k resources, myriads of subcomponents, and medical supplies in our large house...
I sent an emergency e-mail to the owner of the house... When I log in today, here is the reply he sent me:

"It looks pretty bad, The admin list is gone. And it won't let me put anyone on it, it says i need to be an admin to do so. Good news, I can still pick stuff up in the house."

What is going on?? None of us could put in a CSR on it last night, and we are TOTALLY screwed without it... Over 50% of the harvesters we can't get into are people that aren't on often, or on temporary leave for the next few weeks... If they get destroyed, we're immobilized because I won't have anything to build more harvesters with, and all the stuff I need to make my heavy harvs that I made in my factory are allin that large house....
HELP!

Yep, today we noticed one of our Factories lost the Admin list.

Yeah, this is crippling... So far we've lost 3 days worth of resources, which is probably close to.. Oh, I dunno.. 250k-300k worth of resources...


Plus, like I said, I can't get to ANY of our subcomponents

had this happen to me on an interior design I was working on. He had a large and a small, both of which I had admin to so I could move items as needed. When I logged after the hotfix yesterday morning, I wasn't an admin in the large, but was in the small. At first I thought he was just trying to scam me, so I grabbed a suit of composite from the small building


Anyways, he logged in shortly afterwards, and asked if I had finished. I told him I couldn't since I wasn't admin, and he says weird, and ended up tellin me the same thing you posted. He couldn't change the admin list, but could still pick up things.


I'm guessing it was a bug from the hotfix.

you have to have whoever placed the structure/ or harvester either take care of it,or redeed it.



happend to me on my harvesters,the owner can still control it,no one else can though.

Yes, but see,this happened only a couple hours after we DID redeed our house... And the harvesters we can't touch for weeks...
Well, at least the other architect in my PA had extra resources, he was able to make us a few fusions and heavy harvesters... I hope it doesn't happen to us again.

UPDATE: We have gotten access back to our large house by having the owner move EVERYTHING out of it, redeed it, and put EVERYTHING back in... By herself! It took her over an hour to do that... The harvs, however, are gone... Now we're hurting because everyone that is here on a regular basis put down our factories and housing... We went from over 40 harvesters, to 10...
Also, after more then a week, my CSR ticket is STILL unread, and no help in site... No useful posts from teh devs, noone even acknowledging the issue except for a few players and our Architect correspondent (Thanks for your quick reply man, I appreciate it)

I have one harvester that I placed myself, has my name on it, but it will only let me examine it . Ofcourse I tried doing a CSR, but could never connect to the CSR server. Hopefully tonite, I'll be able to get back in it.

Same thing happened to my.


A small house my PA was using for storage suddenly lost all admins.


A quick check showed everyone on admin list had been moved to entry list including myself the owner.


I tried to set new admins but was told of course that only the owner or admin could do that.


I was able to use the command line--> /transferstructure newowner to transfer the deed to a fellow PA member who at that point was an admin and could reassign admin rights to fellow members.


I have not had the chance to try same command with a harvester to see if it's possible or if it will fix the problem.

Yup, two out of three factories my group uses are completely inaccessable to any of us now. Grrrrr!

<comf> Like you heard above, I can sympathize fully... We went from having almost 60 harvesters, to 10 right now... And with the current power issue, we're going to have to place mediums instead of the heavies we've been planning on... But hey... Time marches on...


I just hope this is the only bad patch they have... The only thing that is keeping me in the game right now is the fact that my guildmates are a fun group of people and we have fun, interesting conversations... If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be in SWG anymore, even tho I love this game to death.

Ouch man! That sucks! I'm hoping the devs will read one of these threads and get in line with it... however, I did get an IM from one of the devs (I IM'd every red and yellow name I saw on the boards) going to see how that goes!
