I've been following swtor since 2008 the day it was announced and the first two screenshots popped up. I loved it before it came out and I love it now. It's got it's issues but that's only to be expected out of a project of this size and scale. One thing I don't understand, and now I've read several interviews about it, and understand even less. All the screenshots that have been released in the last 2 years, every single one, is fake. Yes the textures exist, but we'll never see them ingame apparently. According to mr. Reid the game just couldn't handle the amount of graphical processes and they decided to reduce quality overall (I'm guessing that the "grass growing in front of you" effect is also a result of that). His explanation is valid and I understand their problem, but what they've done is outright manipulation of the masses. I'll be honest, one of the main selling points for me was how the game looked on the screenshots. And now they're saying they've found out a long time ago the average user wouldn't be able to run it. I'd love a dev reply, not expecting it but I'd love one. source: http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/19863-stephen-reid-responds-on-high-quality-texture

As the title says, where might one find this item? http://www.torhead.com/search/khem%20val Is it one item that gets repeatedly buffed as he levels? Why havent I seen it? Can anyone tell me if its something you skip and then it's locked permanently or can I go back and get it? Thanks in advance

I'm sure anyone who's rolled a Sith Pureblood, and gotten past dark 1, has realized there's a lovely surprise in store for them. Yes the most feared Force-using race in the galaxy turns pink the more evil they are (according to Bioware's vision). I'd just like to direct your attention to Blur's cinemtic "Return", aka the intro cinemtic for swtor, where we see Malgus's Master, Sith Lord Vindican. Note the color of his skin, he looks like he's never commited a single dark side act if we're to believe how dark side influences this race. Now check any visual depiction of the sith race, what? all red? noes, can it be this is an entire race of cookie eating, bunny hugging, treelovers? Guys fix this sillyness, and fix the darkside eyes, have you actually ever seen a single darksider with red, or pink eyes? I love this game, been waiting for it since the 2008 announcement, I love it knowing that the hundreds of bugs and lack of optimization will get fixed eventually, I love it because it's clear tonnes of effort went into it. Thanks

Both answers are irrelevant, the same situation has been going on since 8 hours ago, and yesterday night. Check the servers before posting.

How can it possibly be that ZERO US servers are full, perhaps one or two at a time, and 85% of the EU servers are +30min queue times. Anyone got any sensible answer for this?

So while I'm waiting for my invite (November pre order) got a couple of quick questions for anyone that's in live game: 1. The texture drop in visual bug, has it been solved? 2. Does Anti Aliasing work? If not, can it be safely (meaning bug free/crash free/performance drop free) enabled with ati/nvidia settings? 3. There seems to be a lot of mixed feelings and experiences in terms of server spoken languages. Can anyone name a clearly English speaking pvp server? By clearly I mean at least 85% of all general chat and spoken communications in English. Thanks
