Toys for Tots is a great charity.

I like this scenario. Sounds extremely fun. Would definitely stop people from dropping out of the game because the other team got 2 quick scores.

I am hopeful that they are working on it and we will get some information in the next 3 or 4 months. There is just too much potential in a Star Wars MMO to not do anything meaningful in space. I can't stand the current minigame. It was fun for the first couple of missions but quickly became a part of the game I pretend is not there. Jump to Lightspeed or Battlefield type space game or something along those lines and I will be throwing money at Bioware.

I would absolutely love this idea.

That is unfortunate. Thanks for the quick answer though.

Please forgive if this has been answered, I could not find it. Do you need to be close to a World Boss when it is killed to receive the codex entry? I was just in an ops group that killed Utagh (Bantha Event World Boss) and did not receive the codex entry. I was killed when he was about 10% health and spawned at the medcenter to return to the fight and as soon as I hit the open world pvp area the group downed him. I don't want to open a ticket if this is how the mechanics work. Thanks.

Well I know that I am totally loving SWTOR but the last 2 weeks my login time has been roughly half for 1 simple reason. Mass Effect. I had to finish my perfect save in 2 and now am happily running through 3. I will be back to logging into SWTOR 4 or 5 days a week instead of the 1 or 2 from the past couple of weeks in a short amount of time.

I will most definitely be playing Mass Effect 3 and most definitely not shelving SWTOR. My SWTOR playtime may be less for the next couple of weeks because of my limited free time but I will still be logging in. That split time starts tonight as soon as I get off work, vote and shower. So excited. I guess I should eat something as well. Instant Ramen. Yeah, good times.

I am on The Shadowlands server, there seems to be anywhere from 100 to 190 on the fleet from about 6 central until about 11 or 12 central. 2 nights ago Hoth had 60 - 70 on during peak and Nar Shaddaa was maybe 10 lower. This is from the Republic's perspective. There is a 2:1 (Empire:Republic) population balance roughly I am told on this server, I don't have any Empire characters yet. What I notice is my friends list shows people that were logging in 7 days a week now logging in 3 or so, which will be the same for me this week as I have to finish my perfect playthrough of Mass Effect 2. That is to be expected in an mmo, when new content comes out the population will spike again and slowly come back to the norm. I have no doubt that some of the servers are in need of merging, I think we all knew that at the beginning when they added all of the servers during launch. If we have 100 servers we really need about 70.

Started day one of early access. I just hit level 44 on my main, Sentinel, 2 nights ago and also have a level 27 Shadow tank. I also have a pretty demanding job but I seem to average about 2-4 hours a night 5 or 6 days a week. That may be less this week as I have to finish my perfect playthrough for Mass Effect 2.

I am seriously saddened by the fact that the op represents even a fraction of the population. Lord I hope it is only a fraction. I truly hope you are not a college student, if you are please let me know which college so I can check for that on resumes.

Yes. There are problems and additions that need to be made but I have not had this much fun in an mmo in a long time. I have also not grouped this much since the days of Final Fantasy XI.

I don't. I am having a wonderful time with this game and you know, I don't have a problem with anyone who does not. To each his own and whatnot.

I have been playing since day one of early access and my main is level 41 and alt level 22. Last night was the first night I did not log into the game, made myself take a break and do some reading, and I have also put in the 3 to 4 hours a night. I have also not done any pvp yet and minimal space missions. I think that is where a lot of people are getting the experience jumps, from what it sounds like you get more exp/hr in pvp vs. questing. Having said that I still find myself 2-4 levels ahead of the planet level range. I personally would like them to bring down the exp gains a little to the point if you do nothing but quest you will be at the correct level range but if you pvp and space combat a lot you can get 2 or 3 levels ahead.

I have played a fair few mmo's and I do enjoy the genre but I started getting burned out a couple of years ago. I realized that there simply wasn't a story and I never felt like my character was heroic, he or she was just another paladin or wizard. SWTOR came along and finally fixed my number one complaint with the genre, now I have a good story and the illusion of my character finally being at the center of the storyline and not a bit part actor.

I was offered help from cs when I accidentally destroyed an item, I chose to just let it be destroyed. When I submit a bug report I get the email saying thanks and we apologize and it will be forwarded. However the last bug I sent I found a solution and created another ticket referencing the previous ticket and received and email saying how they were glad I got it resolved and how they sent the work around to that department. My destroyed item ticket was answered within like 12 hours and it was during the first week. My bug tickets usually get a response 24 hours after but my work around ticket reference got a reply within an hour.

People are griping because this game actually gives you 4 different stories per faction to level when the alternative from other games was to either turn in bear droppings in one zone or bear pelts in the other. You can completely level up by doing nothing than class quests and pvp or flashpoints if you want. People are starting to make my brain hurt!

Having a blast here.

I am not saying I disagree with everything you said but the most important thing to me is this is simply the most fun I have had playing an mmo in a very long time. I am not quite 16 years of experience but I am close to it, 12 or 13, and I do agree that there needs to be some additions but a lot of my complaints look to be addressed in upcoming patches. There is no doubt that what we have now will not be what we have a year from now, that is the way of mmo's. There will be additions to gameplay and content patches to extend the game for max level characters. It is always exciting to be in on the ground floor of an mmo and watch the community help shape the direction of the game.

Also having a blast and can honestly say this is the most fun I have had during a launch of an MMO, I see a bright future ahead. They seem to be fixing things at a pretty good pace and the posts detailing what is in store has me very excited.

I was having the stuttering problem before the patch but last night everything seemed really smooth, did not have one stutter in a 3 hour session. I actually found I needed to change my rotation because my focus builders on my knight would not be off cooldown, I was firing abilities that much faster. Hopefully tonight will be just as smooth.

I had trouble with that one as well, could not keep the ship alive. I would get to where there was maybe 45 seconds left and it would blow. I went and upgraded my missile bay to hold more and painted the turrets and fighters from as far out as I could and completed the mission with the ship having about 1/3 health left.

Welcome back.

I have not finished the Knight story but it definitely picks up after Nar Shaddaa.

I had this problem with Skyrim, not the getting too hot but the computer freeze and reboot. What I did was open up my computer and right click the C drive and select properties and uncheck the "allow files on this drive to have contents indexed" box. This is on a Windows 7 Ult 64 machine. After doing this the game ran fine. I have no idea what was causing it because every time it happened it seemed to be a different error in event viewer. The only reason I even tried it is because we had a similar issue with an accounting program and a Windows 7 machine and that was the fix. Maybe that will help you.
