I also got 310 (network error).. i left it alone, now im downloading at 6 MB/s (7.6 right now actually).. out of a max of 21'ish (120 mbit). 10 minutes ago i was at less than 1 MB/S, so it fluctuates a lot.. again, everyone is trying to download, and their servers only have so much bandwidth.

You have to remember that this is patch day, *everyone* is trying to download the patch. Hence it is slow for everyone. Also, even more importantly, you have to remember that EAware messed something up big time, the patching is generally on the fritz (people getting network errors, connection errors, etc).

Im getting "Network error while downloading patch data (310)" (while downloading the main asset 1). Its probably just general incompetence in the EA camp, they'll get it right eventually.. all we can do is wait

Thats normal EAware procedure. Very expected unfortunately :/

As long as you did not level it to 61+, you should "get the token back" (IE, be able to create another 60). If that was not the case, all you can do is contact customer support i imagine. Edit : ahh, then you will not get the token back. You'll have to start back at level 1, sorry.

You tossed him a bone by purposefully misinforming him ? How very.... nice of you.

Oh, i agree. I was just saying that they did in fact compare the class stories during development, saying that they were in practice making KoToR 3, 4, 5 and so on.

Please educate yourself on what Bioware actually means before going on a nonsense debating spree That is true, they didn't. They actually advertised it as KoToR 3, 4, 5, 6, etc etc (saying that each class story was in practice the equivalent of a KoToR game).

We.... dont know. One site reported a decrease of about 50 percent in healing ability. Then a rumor somewhere on this forum started with the number 75 percent. The official patch notes just says reduction, and does not go into specifics, so the only solution is to actually test it yourself post patch, and see how much it affects you. The two other companion changes are : Power has also been decreased along with healing (no specific numbers on that either), so all we know is that the companions will deal less damage than before. And their tanking ability has been improved. Rather, that was misleading.. their ability to keep aggro has been improved, they are likely to be just as squishy and broken as always in terms of actual tanking capability (meaning that they cant tank for sh*t due to 0 in absorb, deflect, etc etc).

Im going to guess... no. So they'll probably fold like a cheap... *cough*... when confronted by an enemy who lasts longer than 5 seconds...

Thanx for the explanation Eric

So game balance is not a Q&A issue... got it. Who exactly does handle game balance then ? The "metrics guy" ? The great spaghetti monster in the sky ? The Schwartz ? But thank you for the answer

You are making the assumption that they even HAVE a QA department.... i very much doubt that they have

She wont be in 24'ish hours (or whenever the patch is applied). Apparently, healing has been nerfed roughly 50 percent across the board for companions, with the exception of Treek (or so the datamining said).

I never get kicked from a guild for the simple fact that i am not in one (on any of my 30 chars).

ahhh, thanx a lot guys Edit : I'll just add that this is another titanic Biofail. The vendor inside the base has no vendor icon on the minimap, his name is not "Smuggled Supplies Vendor" (he is in the cantina, as mentioned earlier), but "Criax Thane" bleh

Hiya Upon reaching alliance rank 20 with one of the four specialists, you get a keycard that you can exchange into a custom vehicle. The keycard you get in your inventory states : "This keycard can be exchanged for a custom vehicle at the Smuggled Supplies Vendor inside the alliance base on Odessen". Upon going to the Smuggled Supplies Vendor (he is in the Cantina), there are no custom vehicles in his possession, you cannot give him (sell him) the keycard as it has no value, etc. Am i missing something ? (i probably am).

Well, generally speaking, the "i want tons of cash but neither have the time or want to actually work for it" symptom is as old as i can remember, seen it in every MMO from Anarchy Online, to WoW and all the others that have come out If there was a magical "get rich quick with hardly lifting a finger" method, we would all be stinking rich, and money would have absolutely no value at all. The quickest overall is probably going to be questing / dailies. Crafting used to be a viable alternative, but Bioware basically took a giant dump on every trade skill the game has. While you can still make money off of it, it will require some effort, meaning its probably not up your alley At least i dont know of any "get rich quick" scheme, unless you put in real cash (Cartel Market). Edit : As Myracarrah said, Biochem might actually have something going for it right now, with Lokin and the Rakghoul event going

Pretty much the same as you

I dont think you really miss out on anything by not doing it. With this new system, i sort of worry that at any time, companions might be taken away for "story reasons", which makes gift investment a risky venture...

Im going to imagine its a bug (like so many others). I made a new Inquisitor just for the fun of it, and noticed that Khem had less health than i had. Surely that couldn't be right.... But yes, i had around 6k health (at around level 25 or so, i dont recall exactly), and Khem had 5400 (with rank 18 influence). Treek with rank 1 influence had 15k or what it was. On other toons, like at least one of my Agents, Ensign Temple has gone schizo, and thinks she is Kaliyo, because its Kaliyo's voice that is coming out of her mouth, etc. Im sure they'll get around to fixing it eventually

Yes, my first character was a male Chiss Sniper, started during early access. He is still alive and kicking, although he has had to change his name due to the server merges.

The limit used to be 22 characters, yes. I now have 26. I then applied 2 character unlocks, so i should have 28, but i still have 26 I'll phone them i guess

Hi there. I bought myself two additional character slots (600 CC a piece), and applied them successfully. However, the server limit did not go up from my current 26. If i recall, it was said that the limit went up from 22 to 40 with KofTE. Did i misunderstand something and just threw 1200 CC out the window ?
