Issue: Large mobs like Krayts and Kimos are very easily soloed since you can trick the ai by attacking with ranged weapons from a hill.


Server: Any


Planet: Any


Location (x,y): --


Your profession: Any Ranged


Instructions on how to recreate the bug:
Attack a large mob from a hill or kite it to a hill. Walk slowly upwards untill it stops hitting you as often as before. At some point the mob only seem to hit you with an area attack once every 10-30 seconds but most of the time it will miss you no matter what your defenses are.

Issue: Missions failing to spawn

Server: Radiant

Planet: Yavin IV


Location (x,y): Mining outpost and surrounding area


Your profession: Several across different characters/servers

Instructionson how to recreate the bug: This happens all over I believe and is not limited to just one specific type of mission, but as an example the most frequent failed spawns for me are the ones on Yavin IV ... Go to the Yavin IV mining outpost in the north and grab Whisper bird missions about 600m-1000m to the west,the trick is to pick up the whisper bird lairs that dont look like a huge rock on the picture, grab the ones that look like a load of piled twigs and the name is something like "WisperBirdLairYavinIV" not "Whisper bird"... Those have never actually spawned a lair for me at all to my knowledge. Probably known about but, that's been happening to me since I can remember.


Additional : Fix Chair warping! This was the first thing I noticed about SWG when I bought the game which gave me buyers remorse, it is the first thing I tell anyone about SWG when they ask me because it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in a game, and it is the last thing no doubt I will see when I cancel my account, just to ice my cake..

Issue: For some reason, if you log in with composite armor and have no buff, removing the armor will update your character's appearance on your screen, but other players still see the composite armor. You have to buff and remove the armor for people to see you correctly

Server:Bria
Planet: N/A (Corellia)
Location (x,y): N/A Started in Coronet, continued elsewhere
Your profession: Squad Leader / Carbineer

Instructionson how to recreate the bug:
Log Out buffed and wearing high-encumberance composite armor. Log back in after buffs are gone. The armor is still on. Take off the armor- you will appear correct on your screen.

Look at the character from another account- it will still appear to be in composite armor. No costume changes are recognized by the other players. (I tried relogging, changing costumes, putting the armor on piecemeal, etc.)

Finally, get a buff, don the original armor, then remove it. The problem's resolved.


Finally, got a buff, put on the armor entirely, removed it, and the problem was solved.

Issue: Repaired vehicles not saving in 'repaired' state when you shuttle with them out.

Server: Bloodfin

Planet: Any


Location (x,y): Any


Your profession: TKA/Rifleman


Instructionson how to recreate the bug: Let your vehicle decay somewhat, then repair it and DO NOT store it. Ride it to a shuttle/starport. **Leave it out** and take the shuttle! When you get to your new location, you'll have to store the speeder before calling it, and when you call it again, it'll be back to the 'unrepaired' state, and you'll be out the credits you just spent on repairs.

Problem: After you log into SWG, but before you launch the game. At the screen where the patcher initializes, on the right hand side where it lists the patch notes. Sometimes Links are placed in the patch notes box that will take you to this website. Follow the link without being logged into the forums. After the new browser opens, if you try to launch the game, you will get an error saying that you are not registered to play SWG. At this point, you must close the patcher, and then re-log into SWG.


A minor bug, but it can be annoying.

Issue:- Ruining a boyhood dream of being a part of the star wars universe


Server:- Chimera


Planet:- Any


Location:- Any


Proffesion:- Jedi noob 4/1/2/3 rifleman/ranger/medic/squad leader


Intructions on how to recreate the bug:- Give you my money for the last 9 odd months in the hope that all will change


Suggestion on how to make it better:-


1. Make armor proffesion specific this would do quite a few thing give the armorsmiths something more interesting to do than just churn out comp all the time.

Then you would have your tank professions ,light combat proffesions and support proffesion which is more in line with how a real war would work.And also bring it more back to the paper scissor stone ethic of balance.

Make everyone look a bit diff instead of all looking like clones and also stimulate the economy as all that armor requires mostly diff rescource


2. Make combat medic area poison/disease a area hit all that lingers on the battle field so both sides can be affected by it.Targeted poison/disease should be a dart type progectile which would require loading and equiping the gun,

Give tailor the scemtaic to make chem suits which decay quickly over time and maybe master artisan gas mask scematic


3. Make unarmed a pve template.This is star wars not eq we should have blaster fire duels not somebody running upto you whacking you with a stick and saying " i so powned you dood".

Bringing the armor nerf in would help this as i cant imagine many martial artist in full armor jumping around like grass hoppers if you making jedi not wear armor unarmed proffesions shouldnt either (balance and cotinuity)


4. Reduce secondary doctor buffs. I think reducing the secondary will help but still leave high hams which means you still have a chance of getting a heal without one shot killing


5. Lag needs to be reduced its getting worse. Reduce the amount of comabt spam would help and iam sure other thing that more qualified people could talk about but i do think its a big issue(we crashed our server in one battle at the begining of the year and it hasnet got any better worse if anything)


6. Fix these sodding boards this is the second time i have typed this out.


I could probaly think of some more but that will do


Hope this doesent get deleted

Issue: No payout from missions


Server: Sounds like any server, but I'm on Kettemoor


Planet: Dantooine


Location: Any


Your profession: Master Swordsman/Master CH


How to recreate:Join a group, get a mission, complete said mission. Watch waypoint NOT disappear, no message of mission being completed, no payout. Only result is to delete mission, wasting valuable playing time for many of us. Happens anywhere from 20-80% of the time, depending on time of day, severe lag, and which mission you are doing. Janta and Mokk missions seem to be the worst for this.

Sorry about the multiple posts....stupid forum.


Issue: SBDs a waste of time


Server: All


Planet: Any that have SBDs on them, includes Endor, Yavin, and Tatooine


Location: 0,0 on Yavin and Endor, the DWB, and the Corvette


Your profession: See above


Steps to recreate: Enter any of the above locations and proceed to pound away at an SBDfor an hour with a group. Assuming youdon't die,rinse and repeat as they respawnalmost immediately, sometimes before you finish the first one. Get frustrated at all the time you have wasted and armor/weapon integrity you have lost when you loot nothing. Get bored and log off from SWG to find something more fun to play.
