  1. I've been using Windows 8 for a while now - SWTOR runs great on it, the only noticeable problem I've found is the launcher can be a bit glitchy. For example, when typing in your password and security key, you won't see them being in-putted unless you re-click the launcher. A minor annoyance but something that has changed non the less.

     

    Also something that has changed; my media buttons on my keyboard use to be able to pause/play iTunes whilst playing SWTOR. They don't seem to respond any more. It use to be so easy to pause a podcast to hear a cutscene. Now it's a bit fiddly.

  2. Bioware doesn't need to do anything drastic like removing all vehicles from the fleet. What would work is if we were able to toggle the visibility of the players around us. I know Rift has implemented this feature successfully. It's no longer a problem when a quest NPC becomes swamped, just one click and he's easy to access.
  3. Source please.

     

    That was presumptuous, maybe I should of used the word 'some'.

     

    But it's true that Bioware wants players see a lot of the great story lines in the game, adding incentives when they can. Evidence of this is in the Legacy system (race unlocks, ect).

  4. It's not a waste, it's by design. Most players have a character on the opposing side, sampling the storyline. And this random box is to give some encouragement to those who haven't.

     

    I thought it was Steve Jobs random at first because I got the four kits that I wanted. Perhaps it would have been better that way.

  5. Pretty sure that change is in the 1.2 patch notes.

     

    "The Imperial Transportation Authority and the Galactic Republic Safety Council have authorized the use of vehicles in Orbital Space Stations and Spaceports."

     

    "On planets with an Orbital Station, players can now travel directly from the planet shuttle on the surface to their ship."

  6. No. They are calling it a role-playing system, but role-playing is a social, not a solo, activity. Other players cannot be a part of your family tree. Other players cannot see your family tree. They are touting it as RP because it's the only way they can possibly get their playerbase to buy into something so useless and pointless. But if you are actually a RPer, you know that their family tree is not a RP thing. Not yet, anyway. Not as currently implemented.

     

    The truth is that the family tree is exactly as useful as writing down the names of your characters on a piece of scratch paper and then drawing lines to connect them and then writing in their family connections.

     

    So, when I was playing Mass Effect, I wasn't actually role playing in an RPG because no one else was around?

     

    I see what you're trying to say but just because it's for personal use (at least for the moment) doesn't automatically make it bad, even in an mmo.

  7. I agree 100% with the OP about color crystals and their restrictions to either light or dark. BW needs to stop trying to see how far they can bend the SW canon just to make a quick buck to satisfy whining non-SW fans.

     

    If said players don't like Star Wars lore, then they should just deal with it or play a non-Star Wars game.

     

    Lucas has stated before that the only things that are canon are the films and the TV series, everything else is just fan fiction. So with that in mind, it's great that Bioware gives us the tools to create our own stories and role play the way we want in a role playing game.

  8. Ever had one of the Republic astromech droids come rolling up to you...carrying a tray of cocktails like you were on a Hutt's pleasure barge? Happened to me while at the GTN terminal, of all places.

     

    Yeah, the place feels more like a Hutta station rather than a Republic Fleet, especially with all the holographic ads and droids carrying drinks. Are we just renting it from them or something? The Hutts did play a part in my Jedi's storyline...

  9. You always get queues with the launch of an MMO. Just have patience, let the dust settle. Once people are in their routines, things will be fine.

     

    As for the Spanish players, so far they feel like a drop in the ocean, far more out weighed by the rest of us.

  10. A staggered release ensures healthy servers. When most MMO's launch, they open the gates to everyone. Queues form, people complain, more servers are added. Once the dust settles however, you're left with a bunch of dead servers.

     

    The first thing they said when they announce preorders was, "the sooner you redeem your preorder, the sooner you'll be playing the game". This statement has held up, you can't complain.

     

    I can assure that you no ones getting a game breaking advantage right now, quit complaining already.

  11. They didn't send me a code until the 26th of July and that is when I registered it, even though I pre ordered straight away. Frigging all my friends who got the Digital version are in playing and yet I spent £100+ on a CE and I'm the one being screwed :S Basically this means I'm now behind and wont be able to play with them until I catch up, yet that wont ever happen because I have a job.

     

    Yeah, I feel the same way. I wish I ordered the CE from Amazon, I hear everyone got their codes within minutes of ordering, not days. But because of its hefty price, I thought the Game reward points would be worth it.
