  1. As the title implies, it would be great if you could spare one of your interface programmers for a few hours to complete the 4K support at some point. Right now the game only supports the resolution itself, but it doesn't make any attempt to adapt to the consequences of using it compared to 1080P. The cursor and interface are shrunk to half of their size (comparatively), and the only thing one can do right now is muck about with a text editor and change the global scaling of the UI profiles - Which only affects the "ingame" elements, not the main menu or alternative interfaces like the "new" starfighter game mode. TLDR; Please set someone aside to scale the interface properly (2X raster is better than nothing), cursor and everything else directly affected by resolution. With personal hacks I give SWTOR a B-, which isn't bad compared to many other games. At least I can scale most of the interface manually, which can't be said for many games.
  2. I really can't fathom why you made the decision to cut out non-subscribers from accessing not only the forums but also the in-game ticket system. You're cutting people off from a lot of relevant and interesting player to player discussion as well as bug reporting. Did you honestly expect players to bother making a bug report by phone after waiting up to several hours in line? Or when they have proper issues with something and need assistance? Yes - it costs resources to have these things. But you've got to give to get. You're harming not only the community of the game (thus potential profits) but also the game itself. How do you expect to have a bug less game if only a portion of your customers can actually report issues to you? (The new expansion should be a lesson learnt in particular)
  3. No laws against it or anything - just considered poor taste. And developers (publishers really) are very careful when it comes to these things. A few developers have rebelled against this thought of mind (in general - not specifically children) which has resulted in games like Witcher 1/2 (Which are very graphic and completely ignore censorship considerations where it is nothing more than that.
  4. Or trade in general... I hate it when people do that.
  5. I'm amazed I have to repeat this suggestion so long after release but here goes. Add markup and copy/paste functions to the text windows such as the Ticket system - from time to time you need/want/is asked to copy large portions of text from one interface to another for support and such. And retyping around 2500 characters by hand is a tedious and superflous task that simple copy/paste/print/save_as features should have fixed before release.
  6. No - This isn't KOTOR3 (in the gameplay sense), but an MMO. Offline will never happen and it shouldn't either.
  7. Not that either - you romance one, the other one is locked out from it. Unless of course you mean playing two characters.
  8. I personally think that the Legacy system only makes the whole "unique" name issue more apparant. As mentioned, why is there only one "Johnson" legacy on an entire server, why is there only one person called "John". This is a rather outdated way of handling player names in an MMO setting - at least if we're going to have first names, last names and family trees. Yes - it is based around being able to target a specific person for invites/whispers and so forth. But that dependancy needs to change imo. (Starcraft 2 comes to mind. I seem to recall from the beta that people had a combination of playername and a unique identifier on top of that)
  9. Oh dear - you had to go and ruin a somewhat valid argument by going into "jerk mode". To answer your question *****dalf, there are new recipes that give back some validity to the crew skills that have the roughest time being worthwhile once you hit 50.
  10. Haha *ahem* Yeah. No worries. All of your characters are stored on the servers - if they were stored locally everyone could hack their characters to kingdom come and back. A tip if you have limited bandwidth allowance or just can't be bothered re-downloading the game. Locate and copy the game folder to an external harddrive and copy it right back onto the new computer. TOR is programmed well enough that it can "install" itself again.
  11. Err.. you - since you had the audacity to incorrectly quoting ME.
  12. I'm sorry - do you have trouble reading properly?
  13. As for how it works in SWTOR, you'll want to go with Darth's explanation above. This is also mentioned several times if you play as a "Sith" (race) in either Sith (class) prologue on Korriban. Quests such as the one given to you by the headmaster? to scan and catalogue bloodlines here and there on the planet - to cleanse the blood and keep it strong (aka. stop crossbreeding) It is very similar to the lore of Vampires in several universes - those with little or no "pure blood" in their genetics are considered of a lower caste, or considered enemies (for thinning the blood so far)
  14. Oh look - another "I can't use X class/spec/role QQ" masked as a guide. Keep on (t)rolling bruddah...
