Which is why an LFG tool is a better option, IMHO. It's great when you're leveling in WoW, because it lets you find groups for dungeons without having to sit in a main city or outside the entrance spamming LFG.

I think a same server dungeon finder tool would be an excellent compromise. Community and accountability is not destroyed, but the ease and convenience is still there.

They look out of place on some force using characters, heh. IMHO, Sith Purebloods start looking quite odd at Dark II.

Bumping again to see if anyone knows anything about this. I can't find any information anywhere.

Bump.

This is always the first "feature" that I disable in ANY MMO, as it makes targeting things not directly in front of you borderline impossible. I can't seem to find any way to disable it in the preferences menu. Is this a very large oversight on BW's part, or is there something I'm missing? This is probably my biggest gripe with the game at the moment, and while it isn't gamebreaking, it's very disorienting and makes my life much more difficult.

The droid is my big gripe. It was advertised as an in-game pet, and it is NOT an in-game pet. Not sure why they felt the need to employ wantonly false advertising.

The GTN interface is generally horrible, and needs a number of significant revisions to be legitimately functional IMHO.

Slicing seems fairly balanced to me. Taking it over another gather skill prevents you from getting everything needed to be self sufficient with a crafting skill. It seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

It's very rare for me to not sell 90% of what I post, because I always post things at very competitive prices. I'm sure the GTN will be improved as time goes on (IMHO, it isn't very well implemented at the moment, not up to the level of the rest of the game AT ALL), but if people cluttering the AH like that is an issue, why not just limit the number of times a person can post a specific item in a specific stack size? IE: Only allow someone to post up a specific crystal in stacks of one 10 times.

I got that drop in Beta, and only ran through BT once.

How about when I post up 5 of every useful gem in a go? That's a lot more than 50 items, and it does not clutter up the AH. Same for posting volatiles in stacked appropriately for the enchants they're used for (ie: stacks of 5 or 15 for water/air). I regularly post up many dozens of stacks of TWENTY dust. I frequently buy ore in stacks of 20 from sellers that put up over a hundred in a go. I understand people posting up 500 stacks of 1 dust are really annoying, but that's not what this is about.

The GTN needs a lot of work in general. The "ZOMGZ go back to WoW NUB!" posts are very pointless. People like this game, and are providing constructive criticism to help improve it. The GTN dysfunction might not be a huge issue right now, but it will be in a month or two when more people are high level. No working search interface, general clunkiness, a cap low enough to make bulk selling of goods and raw mats difficult, etc. I think a lot of people here have never actually played the AH in WoW, based on economic exploitation comments. Me posting up 5 of every useful rare gem cut in stacks of 1 is not screwing the economy. Me posting up 20 stacks of 20 dust, along with 50 stacks of 5 dust is not screwing the economy. Me posting up a few dozen shards is not screwing the economy. Me buying a few hundred stacks of ore to prospect is not screwing the economy, in fact it's getting you your gems for a lot less money, since I can afford to drop 20k at once on a lot of ore and herbs to transmute a few stacks at far lower cost than you'd ever be able to. Due to simple economies of scale, players like me REDUCE your costs. Someone dealing with a tenth the volume that I do will simply never be able to deliver things at the prices that I do. That is why I consistently SELL hundreds of items a day, because I bring them to market cheaper than other people do. The lousy GTN interface means that I can't do that nearly as effectively as I can in WoW, and that is not good for the health of the economy.

50 really isn't high at all. I routinely have 400-500 up at a time in WoW. As a JC/Alch/Enchanter I easily put up and sell that many in a day. If I actually spend the extra 15 minutes to spend some time buying/reselling stuff, I can do double that in a day.

I do agree that dual spec would be very nice. Not sure why it isn't in, I thought it was sort of a "standard" MMO feature at this point.

Forcing it on through ATI catalyst breaks pre-rendered cutscenes, unless they've fixed that bug.

A friend that was waiting with me at 205 got in instantly also, so it musta been quite a few :-p

I just went from 198 in queue to logged in on Hyperspace Cannon. I guess BW expanded the servers.

I think I'll be done doing what I'm doing in WoW in 45 minutes or so, so queued up now for Hyperspace Cannon. I REALLY hope Bioware plans on upgrading their servers before launch... This will get very, very messy otherwise, and people will be driven away. I can tolerate a 15 minute queue when I come home for the day, but not 45 minutes plus. That's way too long to wait to use a service that I'm paying for.
