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.

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)

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.

Or trade in general... I hate it when people do that.

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.

No - This isn't KOTOR3 (in the gameplay sense), but an MMO. Offline will never happen and it shouldn't either.

Sith.... is a species.

Not that either - you romance one, the other one is locked out from it. Unless of course you mean playing two characters.

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)

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.

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.

Err.. you - since you had the audacity to incorrectly quoting ME.

I'm sorry - do you have trouble reading properly?

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)

Oh look - another "I can't use X class/spec/role QQ" masked as a guide. Keep on (t)rolling bruddah...

I didn't.

My suggestion? Go down to a big electronics store where you can actually try out and get a feel for the keyboards and mice. There is no substitute for "This feels great in my hands". Razer, Logitech and Steelseries all make good keyboards with games in mind. Some have backlighting for long nights, some have rubberized keys, some have mechanical switches, others have anti ghosting. Some have all of the above - it all varies with price range and brand. I personally use a Logitech G9x and a Razer Lycosa. I wouldn't recommend the Lycosa because the rubber keys wear down pretty quickly. The G9x however - love the way it feels with the added weight in it.

Not true at all. The motherboard will simply clock them down to whatever speed it supports by default (1333mhz on the current Intel platforms) The important bit is to buy RAM with as little voltage as possible. Go for 1.5v - NOT 1.65v. Better resale value, more stable and it is easier to overclock.

The points just add up as you go. If at any time one side is 1000 points more than the other you get rank I, 2000 rank II (and so on) When you hit the limit of 10000? your gains will start reducing the other side. So you can completely remove your LS/DS points with enough work.

MY EYES BLEED - WHY DO THEY BLEED Not really my taste - everything is condensed together much too heavilty.

Dear thread. Bioware is working on allowing customization of the UI. Post in the suggetions forum, instead of here if you want something done. End of line. Hope you can read that on your 42" eye killers.

He didn't - you should consider paying more attention to who says what - in a one page thread.

@Frostpaw: You are mistaken. All moddable gear has 0 (ZERO) stats on them when empty. What you have been seeing is an all too common UI bug where stats aren't updating correctly. The only workaround I can remember to that problem was to link the item into a channel and then look at it from there. The only exception to this are the strange "green" / "uncommon" style gear that companions use - I seem to recall them having base stats and slots.

The thing is - they can't wear "anything" as you say. You take a hit to your armour rating (which admittedly might not always mean much, but that is a design issue, not suited for the thread) Ninja each others gear? From the vendors? I'd love to to see that. There has been talk of making the social gear scale armour - not scaling of all Light Armour. All Social Gear has a "Requires Social ___" requirement and is only purchasable from vendors. It also comes with no mods, so it isn't really "ninja'able" gear if a boss actually were to drop this. You also seem to expect everyone else to have the same idea of end game as you. Not everyone wants to raid, or PvP. And as for the mods, Bioware has announced more mods are on the way.

1. You had to dig this out of ...whatever page it has managed to sneak off to? 2. You didn't bother to actually read the thread and the arguments for WHY this is unfair and just went ahead and quoted me - congratulations. 3. You had to quote an entire message - a large one at that - that is very bad etiquette. 4. Personal attacks? I understand very well the design and mechanics - I'm beginning to question your understanding however "Dewd". To sum up the thread. It is unfair not because it is light armour so that everyone can wear it. It is unfair because it has MOD SLOTS, making it actual moddable gear for light armour users. It isn't actually "Social Gear" for Consular/Inquisitors - it is full on combat gear. That isn't true for the rest of us. End of thread.
