Great post. I was just thinking about this dilemma. The race additions would be an easily implemented and viable draw to the republic. It's also something that, as you mentioned having models already in-game, they could turn around pretty quickly. Something else that would be a draw for some folks would be cooler ships. The Imps win that one as well...

Lol, but coffee is sooo gooood.

Hmm.. interesting. yeah I would prefer them to happen at the same time, upon impact... Thanks for the reply.

I notice that the interrupt doesn't appear to be working. The player's cast bar still progresses when I use the ability... Anyone else see this? Is it a known bug? I haven't seen anything about it.

Keep in mind the different types of damage. You may be topping the damage charts in either spec, but in SS most of that damage is from aoe. If you are 1v1 against someone with decent gear and/or a healer, the SS spec doesn't put out the burst to power through their mitigation, IMO. SS will be the most beneficial when you have an Op working as a team, but the AS or TS will output more burst damage. Please note this is just a generalization and from sub 50 PvP, which obviously has less tools/expertise than at level 50. I also like your 2nd spec better. You won't need to be switching between cells and can focus on skills that give you better damage and ammo regen.

If Alara wants to talk to you on the ship and the quest icon is there but she doesn't show up, check and see if she is on a mission or crafting for you. If that's the case, she will be at the crafting station and not in here room, so you can't speak with her at that time. I'm a little surprised that you deleted your characters because of this. It seems a tad extreme.

QFT. And I'd call it dumb instead of silly. As dumb as the guy you quoted constantly posting about unsubing/quitting if he doesn't get his way... Entitlement mentality I guess.

Fixed.

Cool thanks for the positive feedback. And I know social is a lot of fluff, but from what I've seen, there are some cool things too like speeders. And whats wrong with having your companion in a slave bikini? Oh and the tuskan raider outfit is sweet.

I've just noticed the social skill is very hard to build on. At low levels, for example, Esseles can get you around 100 social, but Hammer Station gives you 10. Without having to run Esseles 10000 times, can someone give some tips on leveling my social? Or even direct me to another thread on the topic. I'm sure there is one, but the search function appears to be missing... Thanks.

It's not a bug... glitching, graphical anomalies, etc. are bugs. Items not implemented in-game is just an example of the game being released sooner than it should have. And as far as being "forced" to use companions, I would agree to that only in the extent of crafting. As far as playing your character, you can easily play without your companion... The companion allows you to take on bigger adversaries as though you were playing with another player. Oh, and /signed... I made a thread on this subject a few days ago not realizing that this one existed.

Would like to see this added. Not sure why it isn't an option, but it would make sense seeing you can pay to have your character appearance change. Why change it if they have a helmet visible? Fluff, I know, but it would be cool.

Bump for sticky vote!

For the time-being, maybe just report them via the ticket system. If BW gets enough, then perhaps they'll take more notice. Just a thought.

Aye, I wouldn't think a reporting system would be hard to implement. Player reporting with WZ debuff that has a harsh CD, IMO.

Certain players who think they have a sweet system, but it isn't really that good. Or players who actually have a nice system, but their ISP sucks... Just because you have broadband, it doesn't mean you're necessarily running more than 3 mbps. I've seen a lot of people complain about the game, when it ended up being an issue on their end, whether their machine or their ISP.

You must be awesome.

I have seen this happen as well, but as Republic. Would there bee a reason the other team would get a head-start for round two, maybe? The Imps had the first door blown right when our shield opened. Some sort of bug maybe? I thought it was a fresh WZ.

IMO, all the trees have pvp viability, but if you were going to name one as a pvp tree, it would be assault. Increased health, increased stealth detection, damage reduction, cc breaker, cell recharge while stunned... Solo and support, I will roll shield. Running with my healer buddy, I'll be assault.

Yes. Until you get to higher levels, aim then endurance will be you primary stats
