I MUCH prefer DragonAge2's solution. It's a system that's very similar to the one in SWTOR (for obvious reasons) but where we occasionally see the LS/DS symbols to indicate points gain, the system in DA2 will show an icon representing the "tone" of what a response is, in case you're not sure. Thus you get a smirking face for a snarky response, coins for responses demanding payment, a flexing bicep to indicate a "strong" response, a halo and wings indicating a carebear reply. While I don't necessarily want a copy/paste from DA2 into SWTOR, I think it'd be nice to have some kind of tone indicator, because there have been several times that the response from my character didn't match what I thought it was going to be.

Both sides are in the wrong here. The plural of anecdote is not data. There are some 2 million players of this game. Your guild has AT MOST 500. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you have a 500 member guild, and that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM experiences that problem, that's still only 0.025% of the game's population. You cannot possibly extrapolate that minuscule number to anything meaningful. The exact same argument holds true for "my game runs fine and i don't see these problems therefore there are no problems" argument. You may be the isolated case of someone not experiencing a widespread issue. While it's a race to see who is more insignificant, the fact that your game runs fine represents 0.000005% of the population. It is just as laughable for anyone to argue from this position as it is the above. The only people who have any chance of _knowing_ what the statistics are for people having problems with graphics performance are Bioware.

No, it costs 250k credits to purchase each of the three magenta schematics.

I'm not sure what the source is, maybe the guild summit? The devs explained that the reason they don't enforce naming rules on RP servers is because in SW Lore there are some seriously ridiculous names - like Jet Nebula, Jagged Fel, Booster. I mean, how far of a leap is it from Jet Nebula to Noob Cannon? Having said that, the TOS prohibits: offensive, trademark, leetspeek (which noobcannon would qualify as), as misspelled trademark (like bubba'fat). So next time you see a Noobcannon or a BoobieFett on your RP server, hit that ? on the top bar and report it.

I'm loving this game, but I came to share an Alton Brown quote with all you who use "vanilla" to mean "plain." e: in case it wasn't clear, there's nothing plain about Vanilla. It's a wonderful, exotic, aromatic flavor. The "base" ice cream that you add stuff to when making other flavors is not vanilla - it's "sweet cream" flavor.

Maybe I don't understand your question - why would you think that when you hit level 50, you can't do previously un-completed quests?

In general, the most important number in nVidia cards are the middle ones. 5 series is the current series. 540 is an entry level card 560 is a good, solid card. If you can afford it, the GTX will always be much better than "plain." So your target card is a GTX 560. What's going to break your heart is that it's not much more than what you paid, but it's SIGNIFICANTLY better.

No, but 1.2 includes a "restraining bolt" to silence him. e;fb

First of all, it's LIGHTSABER, not sabre. Secondly, he's using a blue lightsaber to MURDER CHILDREN. It literally does not get more irredeemably evil than that - which was the entire point of the scene.

so .... Kashyyyk? I would like to see Dantooine. Kashyyyk, Manaan, Telos IV, Onderon, Dxun ... (anyone sensing a pattern?). I'd also be interested in expanding further into the Tionese Hegemony.

The NPCs in Drommund Kaas and Belsavvis quests say Pubs.

A little unknown game you may not have heard of called Mass Effect 3 dropped this week.

Except for the bonus to presence that human will unlock. Way to post poorly researched fear mongering. Actually, this is exactly what's happening. Twi'lek and Zabrak unlocks all of the color/tattoo/decoration options from both factions. For Cyborgs, it unlocks all the different implant options (did you know that each class has different choices?). Edit: This site has a pretty comprehensive list of what's in 1.2 (notes from the guild summit)

Your first mistake is watching that horrible, horrible show. (anyone who doesn't believe me that it's horrible and unfunny, watch it without the laugh track)

Legacy will allow you to unlock species for play in any class. The specifically use the word "unlock" because there aren't any new species in game update 1.2. Lightsaber color crystals have already been unlocked for all factions/alignments, and the wording in the trailer is "new color crystals." I'm going to guess they mean new color crystals, and not unlocking existing ones.

It's just a specific "cool" ability and it's linked to the "heroic moment" (your companion needs to be out, 20 minute cooldown, can't be used in ilum, wz, etc.) Some of the ones mentioned at the summit: SW grants force choke Smugger grants Groin Kick BH grants Flamethrower SI grants Force Lightning IA grants Orbital Strike I don't know if that's the official list, but it's what I remember hearing on the livecast.

No, it's not understandable, it's silly. Either that speeder was worth it to him at the time that he got it or it wasn't. Being upset that other people have a different cost now is just ego centrism. If this bothers you, don't grind to get other hard-to-get crap. I paid my full price for the game, and now it's on Amazon for less, doesn't bother me, the more people who get the game and play the better, and I have really enjoyed my time in the game so far - so I got a good value.

The cross-class heroic ability is different between the mirrored classes (IA grants the Orbital Strike, Smuggler grants the kick in the nads, etc.)

from the summit: "If you transfer a character with a Legacy to a server where you also have a Legacy. Whichever Legacy level is the highest is the one that will 'win'"

Freedom of Speech guarantees that the US Gov't won't make any laws restricting speech. Nobody ever guaranteed you could be a d-bag at someone's private property without consequences. Besides, you agreed to be bound by their rules when you signed up. TL:DR: less QQ more pew pew

It's impossible to say "never" in terms of what they may or may not do. However, no, the restrictions weren't originally there, but were added after complaints. Removing the LS/DS restrictions on crystals brings the game in-line with SW Lore, so it's unlikely that they will ever put restrictions back on color crystals.

How many times are you going to bang out the same post?

Not quite. AKST is GMT-9, HST is GMT-10 It's even more confusing in the summer, since Hawaii doesn't use DST AKDT is GMT-8, making it have a 2-hour difference with Hawaii (3-hour difference to Pacific time) Your other error is more obvious. They don't shut down the servers on Friday/Saturday night, they shut them down Monday night / Tuesday morning.

There's even a link. And if your game patched while you weren't looking, you'll be glad to know that they added a /version command recently.
