Uhh, not quite. We had it in beta, prior to launch. It was pulled by the early-start build, and the powers-that-be said it would be coming back, as soon as they finalized a "better" version of the system.

Not at all surprising, but very, very disappointing.

106 degrees Celsius! Great scott! Yes, please ensure that your power supply is capable of outputting at least 1.21 jiggawatts! Then let us know how your GPU is doing. Seriously though, with a PSU that weak I'd be more surprised if you weren't overheating while running. If possible, test a more powerful PSU in your machine first (maybe a friend could loan you one?) In the meantime, definitely set the graphics to the lowest possible settings, or take a temporary break from SWTOR.

I'd bet good credits that they're not currently in the live build, but that they'll get put in in a later patch. I'm hoping that they'll add a level 49-50 world boss Krayt Dragon in, because it makes no sense at all that Tatooine wouldn't have a Krayt Dragon world boss. And that would be the perfect candidate to drop white crystal schematics...

No; that's why I don't put any suggestions I have in random threads. I don't include myself in the "loudly complaining" category. It's pretty clear that if the people in question are not being paid to make negative posts, as the OP indicated, they are not thinking rationally about how to make the game better. Rather, they're just annoyed and venting their annoyance all over the forums. To be perfectly clear: they're not players who care significantly about the state of the game. They're people who paid for some subscription time, didn't like what they paid for, and decided to make a ruckus.

Or, they're people who dislike certain aspects of the game that they complain loudly about, but tolerate the game as a whole enough to keep playing it (at least for now). That would explain the repeated negative posts from the same names.

Maybe this game will be more like SWG in the future! >_> <_< Yeah...

True, but SWTOR isn't competing with WoW at launch. SWTOR is competing with WOW now. It may not be a "fair" comparison, but WoW beat SWTOR out the gates by 7 years. So yes, it's a serious problem that SWTOR right now cannot compare quality-wise to other A-list MMOs. That's just the reality of releasing an MMO at this point: you have to release something polished enough to compete with games that have been around for half a decade or more. It's a crappy situation, and I wouldn't want to be in BW's shoes, but that's the reality of the genre. Doesn't help when you've got a publisher who's content to just break even on the game.

I agree, although in my mind this isn't so much a feature request as a bug fix. The game pulls up the preview window if you Ctrl+click a weapon exactly as it does when you Ctrl+click a piece of armor. The fact that it doesn't display a weapon in your hand seems more like a development oversight than a feature to be implemented.

Sadly, now that my guild has repeatedly hit every world boss we can think of and come up dry, I'm beginning to think that white is currently unobtainable. I imagine that the boys at BW want some kind of convoluted process - similar to magenta - and just haven't finished cooking it up yet. That's the only reason I can think of that would explain why no yellow posts on the topic of white crystals exist. Then again, now that 1.1 is live, we'll try the world bosses again, I suppose...

Actually, that's not logical at all. Based on that logic, the following statement would be true: "While I have never observed a lightbulb emit darkness, it is possible that a lightbulb could emit darkness, therefore darkness-emitting lightbulbs are possible." That's the logic response. The physics response is this: plasma is an excited state of matter. Matter, when excited, frequently emits light in the form of photons. This is the case with plasma - electrons in the atoms in question jump from orbit to orbit, releasing energy as visible light. From a physics standpoint, darkness is the absence of light, i.e., the absence of photons. Plasma cannot emit the absence of photons; for that matter, nothing can emit an absence of photons, therefore nothing can emit darkness. Don't even bother saying "black holes." The keyword is "emission."

Posting to subscribe. The info on the Magenta crystal was most useful! I've been checking this thread religiously in hopes of White crystal information. Keep up the good work!

Well this explains a lot. No wonder my shield felt so useless...

I concur, after reading his character biography waiting for the game to launch, I was expecting rather a bit more than a one-off character. Why bother to sit down and write a biography for someone who only gets face time in one mission?

Bad example, because you need increasing amounts of social points to progress through higher levels. That's like saying "Well I went from 11 to 12 doing BT once, so logically if I run it 38 more times, I'll be at the level cap." Yeah, it's easy to earn large amounts of them doing BT, but unless you're running literally every mission from 1-50 in a group, you're not going to see many social points stacking up. Spam-running the first flashpoint isn't really a viable alternative. I'm not sure why every flashpoint after BT has pretty much only a briefing and a debriefing for conversations, but it makes one of the best portions of the game's social content actually very bad for social points.
