Don't even get me started on this abomination of a patch.
Pushed live with code they knew was going to break the servers, and spending our downtime trying to fix the issue on Testcentre... /sigh.
And for what? Speederbike speed Multipassenger vehicles that will probably see no use at all after the first few weeks?

Vid, I still say you're misreading that patch note. It's only specific ships in the mission string, not the general duty ones. Like I said, I commed one in the first couple of days of RotW, but I'm not even sure what toon it was with.Whatever source led you to think this would break the cycle, I'd really like to see it, since the DYK patchnote was solely to clue people in on some flavor text that's been there since launch, not any sort of fix for a bug.

I'm still stuck, and I cannot /comm any of the ships I escort either, despit "did you know" notes in the p17 page.... though apparently some can...

Yes Tomo that is right. I was ambushed after I hypered out of Kashyyk and then hypered back. Iv been stuck on duty missions ever since.

Note says:
"Did you know you could converse with certain escort targets When you begin your career as a Civilian Protector, you can chat with the transports you are escorting and rescuing. They will give you more information about the villainous Ghrag, the reborn Gotal cyborg pilots, and a few surprises! "
This, combined with the station chat of "...Eyma may have more information regarding the villainous Ghrag..." led me to believe this was supposed to be how it went/could be a fix.
It's quite possible that I read too much into it -- however, the devs are hardly clear, and *never* offer any simple clarity into a situation. Why not is beyond me; they have 50% of the entire JtL/RotW pilots (or more) screaming mad and don't address it in the slightest way.... unless that was their "hint". Insulting in either case.

Anyway.
I can't comm those ships, so that isn't the solution. The way that note is worded, if you paid a little attention to the chatter from the station, appears to offer a solution, though as I said, I could be mistaken, and by all signs, probably am.... but if someone with a red name would actually TELL JtL/RotW players something (lol hasn't happened once yet!) we wouldn't NEED to try to read into things...

The ship I remember talking to was in one of the first couple missions. Most of the CPG missions are Escorts after all.
I think its an honestly hopeful mistake on your part, but my logic says, why make a bugfix into flavor text? No need for added creativity, just squash the durn bug, and don't make us jump hoops to get rolling again.

Yeah, I've been stuck on this one since ROTW launched. Anybody know if it was stealth fixed in this patch? Heck, I'd be happy knowing that they acknowledge that it's broke and being worked on.

well i just loaded up this morning and im still stuck.
im not even getting the endless duty missions now; emma tells me to talk to the station and the station tells me to talk to emma.
so much for trying the /comm on the escort missions, im not getting any more escorts.
this is REALLY starting to get annoying

I have waited long enough for this fix, if its not fixed by Monday, I am going to cancel my station access pass, and find me another game.

You know what the deal is, you're supposed to be ambushed by the Ghrag the moment you hit Kashyyyk space after the strong/weak question--it's not even a mission, it's just a trigger that happens on your way to speak to Kashyyyk station. Once you take care of them, you move on to the next leg of the quest. Say they're weak, however, and that ambush never shows up.
That probably makes a fix somewhat more complex, or at least different. I'm continuing to hammer away at it, though.

Tomo, I DID get ambushed after answering weak.......went to the station and to ground afterward and nothing but duties.

Pretty petty attitude.
Not really, what is petty is that they will not fix this stupid thing. We are gated form nearly ALL the new pilot content just because of one conversation tree....that is unacceptable. This can't be a hard thing to fix, or at least reset. I am sorry, it is ludicrous.

Copy that, I updated my report as of last night. Wish I'd had that info sooner, but I'd think what they already had should be enough to correct the problem.

Just a question...after the ambush,..and talking to Eyma...has anyone tried to go to the rebel station in the Kashyyyk sector and attempt to talk to them?
Eyma is supposed to direct you to the "station",..which in this case he is referring to the Rebel Station. Post your answer please.
