Can we please have access to Artifice Critical? It's one of the only crafting crew skills to not have a critical upgrade on the Legacy astromech droid, and not a single one of the companions for Force using classes grants the bonus as far as I'm aware.

I can't even read what your problem is, and it's right there... I think. Basically, you asked to know what the destination server was before it was announced and claimed it was a bug stopping you from making characters?

I lost all my names! Chow'bacca, Ham'solo, even Dorth'Vadir! This is disgusting Bioware! I'm unsubscribing 20 times if you don't take my names off whoever else was as original as me! Seriously though, I lost two, because they both had the same name as my main. I am yet to have a name conflict that wasn't caused by myself, and I've been using the name for... damn, about 12 years now.

Orange crystals and purple crystals are high level colours I believe, but I know you can get a level 20 saber with an orange colour from the PvP vendor as a Sith Assassin. If you're looking for high end crystals, this thread has some really useful information.

While I can't give you any specific class help (my guardian's only 27) the first thing I would say is use the keybinds for target markers. If you right click an enemy, you can set a target marker such as a red flame or a green pistol and they recently let you keybind them in options. I bind these to numpad 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the first thing I do in a flashpoint is tell people what they mean. 'Star is <sage player>'s CC (crowd control, like Force Statis) target', 'Kill flame first' etc. If people are attacking targets in a certain order, you only have to use basic AoE (Area of Effect, hits all nearby enemies) to keep control of the others while focusing on the one they're all attacking. This is, of course, in a perfect world where people follow kill orders and let the tank go into combat first.

As far as I read it's a one server > one server transfer offer at first. Site's meant to go live on tuesday going by the community post. Just a heads up, you probably won't be able to transfer to the server where you've just made a JK, at least not initially, so it might be good to wait 2 days and see where you can go instead of being spread across servers.

The above post has the best response IMO. In terms of player numbers, as noted above the Harbinger is a nice populated West Coast one, I'd suggest Dalborra or Master Dar'nala if you choose to go Asia Pacific. Harbinger seems to have a decent player count most times (I play in the EU so I see it at strange times at standard pop).

Can I ask what exactly you're struggling with in the game? You mention you have a lot of issues with it but don't mention anything specifically. I'm also not sure what the average fun player is. Maybe if you give a bit more information on what you're struggling with, we'd be able to give you hints etc. I'm not sure how the CSR droids can help with this one. Also, community gathering spot = Fleets.

This is a really useful guide, thank you, so I'm bumping it. Also, just saw this in the 1.3 PTS patch notes found here

Your friend can indeed install off your discs, but they'll need to click the 'Download client' button when they set up the free trial before they can activate the trial account. It's a failsafe Bioware put in so you couldn't start the 7 day trial then spend a load of time downloading the client. You have to at least download the launcher before you can activate. But yeah, you can install off the discs no problem

Personally I want a Voss, but I'm logging on now to secure 'Lion-o' for the Jedi Guardian I plan to reroll with Cathar Edit: Taken :< Managed to get Lion'o though I'm the coolest guy on the internet

The ones that are playing are on servers that are too light for anyone to notice. They opened too many at launch, simply. Free transfers from lights to standards in 1.3 should resolve it. Then we can come here and complain about something new and interesting, like 'TOO LITTLE TOO LATE BIOWARE' or 'That Esh-kha looked at me funny, I'm unsubbing'.

Welcome to the forums, where 2% of the playerbase discuss how every single player thinks the game is dying and 98% are too busy playing to post, read or care!

You realise this is also the argument about WoW, but it's not 'Dying' either and it's last content release was, what, before SWTOR came out? The forums are full of people crying OH GOD THE GAME IS DEAD but it's not true and the forums are full of only people who think that, so everything thread is discussing how the game is dying because everyone talks to each other and assumes it is. It's not. Stop it.

Except that, you know, you can talk in /say, so this entire post is irrelevant.

Why in the world do I need to put in my password just for forum posting? I have to actually use the security measures put in place on my account to sign in to the website which has all my personal details and account/billing information? This is ridiculous.

If by Exp you mean Expertise, 50. It's only available to players at the level cap as far as I'm aware.

Grey on the mission log means you've outleveled it, yes. You will get 5 exp and some credits, regardless of how many times you do it. You'll unlock the daily when you complete the space missions that are before it, like I received two missions, one for each of the two last space combats. When I completed and handed those in, I unlocked a daily to do both. Green gives okay experience and items, you generally want to do yellow or higher (means on your level).

My understanding, which may be incorrect, was that everyones stats were boosted to that of a level 49. You then get the bonuses from your gear. Of course, the higher level the player is the better gear bonuses they have, the more skills they'll have access to, and things like stealth detection also take level into consideration (A level 4 will see a level 10 in stealth from a mile away). I could be wrong, though.

This thread is for silly hats only.

Out of interest, was it you I was replying to that had nothing but insults for the developers, such as 'Idiot programmers and their stupid managers who have never seen a line of code in their life'? If that was you, you really can't complain.

All people do is complain that their Matrix Cubes disappear, they fix it as soon as they can instead of making you wait since everyone is going mental about it then you ***** that there's server down time. What the hell do you people want? And don't bring WoW server maintenance comparisons in. That game hasn't released anything new in a long time and is something like 8 years old, they should have worked out what they're doing by now. If you're the world's best coder, and have written for MMO's and such, feel free to create something better and THEN insult the devs. *edit: Seems the person I was replying to removed their post or had it removed. Good. Keep it constructive. I am aware of the hypocritical nature of my comment.

Yeah, I certainly hope they rush server restarts and don't check them or anything

I was making a group the other day and the only DPS that wanted my flashpoint was called Xoxocloudoxox. I assumed he would be bad. He was. I like to use them as a warning device. My favorite quote when trying to tell him to run away from the flames in Athiss was "but it keeps chasing me" accompanied in my mind with a :<. On that note, my character name is Xxsupersithsephyroht13xx /sarcasm
