I don't normally like forced world events, but this one seems mild in comparison to most. The only real issue I can see is with taking the plague to the starter worlds. I think new players should get to learn the game in peace. Yes, I got infected, and exploded. But I respawned without getting re-infected and could carry on with missions just fine.

Thank you for that post, especially the screenshots. I'm looking forward to 1.2 as well, but I never had a chance to check the Test server.

The lekku are actually hollow, and incredibly light. Seriously, have you seen how they behave on an elevator?

And this is another reason to like the Champions style naming system. It removes all need for this kind of name-blocking. All characters are uniquely identified by charactername@accountdisplayname. And you can manage your friends list by account names.

This would be very useful, it's so easy to get out of step even on the planet sidequests. It would also be good to see mission conversations for a mission you've already done, when helping someone else. And a way to see mission conversations that happen in the open world, rather than in an instance. And a way to see mission conversations that happen on someone else's ship. I missed out on a lot of my friend's smuggler story, despite playing paired all the way from L10-50.

Please consider putting in some kind of button on the ship that then displays your character and all the companions they have gathered so far (except the ship droid). They should be in high-res cutscene textures if possible, and posed for a 'group photo' so we can easily take screenshots. Various classes have an opportunity for these as part of the Story quest, but you have to know it's coming to be able to take the screenshot in time. It would be nice to have an easy way to do this as you level, so you can show people your crew.

I'm pretty sure he pronounces it as 'Theran' when he introduces himself. I think that may be where some of the confusion comes from. My main is a Consular and I have been known to use Theran instead of Tharan too. I try not to though.

We missed the downed ship the first time, too. It's actually right near the gun, but the animation isn't very clear. So then we had to do the puzzle again... I agree that this one should be instanced.

People who want to play a Mary Sue will find a way to do it anyway.

I'd like a minimum of four extra character slots when Legacy comes out. I want to explore more options using alts.

Seconding the request for non-black tees. Maybe grey or purple?

Unfortunately no. The equivalent-level craftable one (Hardweave Jacket) looks like this. Which is a shame, because I was hoping it would be the same as the commendations one too. http://www.torhead.com/item/eSyn8sF/hardweave-jacket#screenshots I agree with the OP, there are a lot of designs that aren't yet found in orange/moddable, and there should be more available.

I like this idea, it would give Companion Gifts a use even for max affection people. Also, I'd like it if identical gifts stacked in inventory.

Will we get additional character slots per server when the Legacy options are added?

What I find annoying with the map is - suppose I want to find a mailbox. I pull up the main map, and select the mailbox tag. I would then expect this to put an icon up for all mailboxes on the map. It doesn't. It only puts up icons for mailboxes in a certain range. Usually only ones I can already see. This means that when I really need it (because I can't see/find what I'm looking for) it's pretty useless. This seems to apply for all types of icon.

This is an MMO by Bioware, though. It has different goals than other MMOs, including the use of story. This is a good thing, there should be different styles of MMO out there to suit everybody, instead of trying to make them all the same 'because that's what an MMO is'.

The Consular quest felt like a definite difficulty spike to me, even with the buff from the consoles.

I am not my character. I have friends I play the game with. Sometimes they play Republic alts, and sometimes they play Imperial alts. I want to get a notification when they log in Imp-side and I'm on a Rep alt. I want to be able to say hi if I choose not to swap sides. It's not about spying, it's about keeping in touch with my friends in game. The social bit of the whole MMO deal. It doesn't have to be a public channel. Cross faction friends/whispers and private channels would work just fine.

I'm feeling this way too. I don't want to buy it if I have to install Origin, and I have my own bad experiences with EA DLC and customer support.

I am getting no flirt options for my flirty Consular to take. And my utterly non-flirty Trooper has some. Can't win, hehe. In all seriousness, I'd like to see more flirt options in the planet/sidequest storylines, so that they can be taken by any class. Especially for female characters.

If the only option is that or full coverage in a robe, then I can see why it appeals. There should be more outfits like the JK crop top but in light armor, imo.

That's amusing, but your sig is better.

I agree. Use the 'pending' mechanism for these notifications, always.

This is a great idea, even if it only works for our own class story missions. I have no idea if it's possible, but I'd love it.

I'd really like to see this, too. Especially since you can get class-limited drops/schematics on the opposite side. I'm also hoping that when they launch this, they add 4 new character slots per server. Then we can take advantage of the new options without losing any progress on existing characters.
