As an inquisitor, I've had runs where the dungeon has dropped entire sets of Bounty Hunter loot and nothing for a quizzy, meanwhile Johnny Jedi out rolls me on my Willpower gear. It's random, the loot drop percentages aren't stacked against you, you've just been unlucky. Edit: Totally coining quizzy as the shorter word for Inquisitor.

None of those things actually bother me but I can accept your points. Edit: It would appear that the EU realms filled up faster largely because the population of Europe is something like 730 million, compared to the 350 million in the US.

Just over 45 mins to go.

As someone that's a little OCD about things matching, changing my hair colour would certainly be convenient.

So far, the Republic chat on Sith'Ari EU is consistent with most communities. There are mature and immature, I don't really think it's related to age as much as people think, shut-ins don't mature much even after 20 because their environment and peers don't change. I did a dungeon with a 13 year old tank and had no problems, while a 23 year old started the whole anal joke thing in /1.

Oh how I loathe that little bar of hope and expectations as you load up the launcher, only to be crushed as the electronic sound effect plays to the un-lit play button.

It appears so, they usually end it by saying it's the final wave and posting the time that the next waves start tomorrow.

Funny, I never read it that way, I always assumed early pre-orders would get early access sooner than me. You didn't even need to read between the lines, you just had to read it properly.

I'm still subbed and installed but I don't expect to play for a really long time, I just couldn't make the leap

I'm Republic, I tried the Empire but I don't feel comfortable siding with space Nazis.

I'll just do what I did in every other MMO before I knew people, I leveled on my own, had some groups, met some random people around and made a few friends.

It's a trend in gaming companies. Pretty much every single one speaks vaguely and defensively, the community is so quick to jump on it as soon as something isn't perfect, as you can see by the fact they gave early access even earlier than they previously intended to yet it still caused outrage in a vocal minority.

They won't be that different from every other game out there. People aren't going to change just because it's a different title.

I tried Empire but I just don't feel right as the bad guy, I have to be Republic

It's a put off if it would appear to some as to be a bit racist. I don't think it is but I'm just pointing out that it could, theoretically be misinterpreted by a few and I don't think anyone here really wants to accidentally offend someone. I'm just pointing out why I think the other poster (who's name I've forgotten) said they hope they don't put anyone off. I apologize if I sound confrontational, it's not my intention but I can't explain it differently.

I think it's because they don't want to appear hostile to foreigners, only that it would be nice to have an established place with a chunk of Brits with other English speakers thrown in. Some English servers have a tendency to be overrun by other languages and it can be annoying for people who don't understand their language.

I'm up for it

I'm not too bothered, I'm still full of anticipation but I'm not disgruntled.

But surely if everyone was allowed to save their names early it would still be taken. Think of a new name, the same way someone else would have to if you reserved it first.

They close threads when they go against the forum guidelines, that's all. Take your tinfoil hat off.

I sure do love official forums, they just don't have the same hilarity as unofficial ones. I didn't get in today, I wont get in for a few days yet and I'm okay with it. It does bug me a little bit that people are probably going to be capped when I'm just starting because I love competitive leveling, but it's not the end of the world. I pre-ordered late, it's my own fault, not Bioware's.

It may be frustrating to see but none of us can presume to understand why they stopped at 5 waves. It's not as though they did it for no reason, if it was worth the risk they would have invited more people. Or do you think they genuinely wish to upset a good chunk of their community?

That's not a wall of text, it's paragraphed and has punctuation. A wall of text has neither.

I pre-ordered in November just after my beta weekend ended, honestly I never expected more than 17/18th.
