How are we supposed to do that, if we can't even get the launchpad to run??

As I said in the other thread, the launchpad update was a completely separate update that was released around 5:00ish CST on Tuesday October 12th and is completely unrelated to this hotfix. Just because you have not logged in since then does not mean the launchpad problems are related to this hotfix. Please keep this thread on track and take your launchpad issues to the Technical Support forum where there is a lot of information on the launchpad problems readily available.

How about the imperial missions?
I take the mission to go disable a x-wing and when I arrive at my waypoint there is only a flag and 3 rebels defending that flag.
Shouldent there be a x-wing there instead of that flag?

Lots of information regarding the fix if you use Xp then yes, however if you use 2k then there is no fix apart from sending a file to some launch-pad bugs email!
People have a right to post where they want to get answers from the Devs which seem to be severely lacking, from the last 2 hours i spent trawling through for fixes all the answers seem to have come from players and then the devs saying ohh well what a good fix ill just repeat it further or in my own post.
This is not an attack on you, i am just saying i for one pay for 4 accounts and thats in europe where its more and honestly if you went to a store to buy a game and they said well it might work for you but might not would you buy it? Well thats what this patch to the launchpad did, they should have fully tested it or at least asked if we wanted the new launchpad, which i have seen, ohh WoW i am so glad my game is broken for that!! up there with the ID patch guys, way to go, woot woot!!

Apparently the new theater manager quests went live in this hotfix. Why wasn't this included in the patch notes?
Better yet, why was all the feedback we gave in the In Testing thread ignored? (Base dance of the dancer reward is broken, "reward" requires a payment of 400k dance or music xp.)
- What is your ingame character name? La'lepa Ofo
- What Galaxy did you experience this issue on?Intrepid
- What Planet were you on when this happened? Naboo
- What location (coordinates) were you at when you experienced this issue? Theed Theater
- Please list a full description of the problem you experienced (Full details needed here folks!) Take the quest and complete it. The presence of the quest, while not included in patch notes, is problem 1. Then the quest requires 400k to get the "reward" for completing it. And the "reward" is broken (base dance doesn't display to audience).
- Reproducible Steps: This is very important in helping us isolate exactly where the problem is. Do the quest.

Running missions from Coronet. 3 of 5 missions so far have not shown up at all at the wp. 2 of the missions did not complete or payout on completion.
I will keep testing. Confirmed more missions completed and no payouts. A bad bug here.
Accuracy seems funny too... I am missing 4-5 times in a row at Flame IV commando on a humbaba which should rarely miss.
[edit] Just had guildie run missions with me from Coronet. No missions are paying out on completion after7 attempts.

I don't have *proof* that this is new to oct13; but this is a huge issue, and I haven't seen it before.
Sunday I placed 8 heavy gas harvesters on a high quality, super rare resource - eleton gas, i believe the best my server has seen.
Today -- all 8 harvs are gone. My 8 lots are showing free, as if I never dropped them. I have the email construction-complete to verify i put them down.
If it were just the harvs- 1.5mil maybe 2mil worth- that would be one thing. But this resource will sell for 20cpu or more- a temporary glitch in harvesting could easily mean 10 or 15mil difference. Talking with some friends IG, it sounds like this is a well-known issue with the Oct 13 update. Yet, I see no mention of it here.
If my harvs dont come back at all, and without any of the resource harvested- this might just be my last straw in jumping from the SWG boat altogether. I've had a dozen bugs nearly this serious go unaddressed - random gear in my house disappearing, so that now 50% of my items are just "gone".
I play two accounts and those are two accounts that might just switch over to WoW, or maybe EQ2, on this issue alone. The game started out buggy, using subscribers as beta testers. It's ridiculous to charge people money for a game that is still at this level of quality.
1. What is your ingame character name?
main: kazzacce, alt: veevo
2. What Galaxy did you experience this issue on?
kauri
3. What Planet were you on when this happened?
corelia
4. What location (coordinates) were you at when you experienced this issue?
very near 505, -574
5. Please list a full description of the problem you experienced (Full details needed here folks!)
Dropped 8 heavy gas harvesters Sunday ~11am. Oct 13 these harvesters are all gone, and owning-character character sheet shows "8 free lots" (exactly how many were free before these gas harvs were dropped).
6. Reproducible Steps: This is very important in helping us isolate exactly where the problem is.
Lay 8 gas harvesters on Oct 10. Wait.
