About *********** time. This was my #1 complaint about the game from the very begining in beta, and believe me, for those of you who weren't around then, there was a long and active thread complaining about it in the beta forums. This UI looks very nice. Now on to my #2 complaint, which has now moved up to #1; character creation needs a lot of love.

So talk some of them into trying it with you again once it comes out, problem solved. Speaking for myself, I've done the yo-yo act with plenty of MMO's and been fine with it. Leaving is not a permanent thing in the MMO world. I still jump on DDO every now and then. I've even been toying with the idea of visiting EQ to see how that game has changed since I last played it 10 years ago.

lets not forget that Legacy isn't the only thing comming out in 1.2. they are also giving us a new WZ and a new OP and a new FP. Also retooled crafting, new gear, and new game mechanics. Even if we all agree that Legacy is only fluff, is that really so bad when it also comes with content? I think it's great.

Maybe they can reward social points as a group buff if you're in a raid and in an op. So for every x amount of time your raid group is in there you gain y amount of social points per time unit. Same with PvP WZ's. This way you get social points for being active in a group automatically, which is pretty social if you ask me. Edit: or even easier, just reward X amount of social points when you complete ops missions or daily/weekly level 50 FP/WZ/PvP quests. (I say level 50 here because it would be too easy for a 50 to go to a level 10 flashpoint and solo the points he needed if this restriction was not in place)

Hey wait a minute, is countering an april fools joke with another april fools joke allowed? Judges?

LOL i swear I took this seriously for about 5 seconds. Good one BioWare! Better than the Sarlac enforcer, imho.

Good podcast. Isn't one host from Mos Eisly radio and the other from TOROcast? Good stuff, they were both voices I missed. Now we just need Torwars and Correlian Run mixed in and we've got the mega-ultra offical podcast of nerdy doom. The only thing tainting this is the fact that it's official, so the assumption is that they can't be as free with their opinions as they were able to be when they were fan run. Which while sad, still does not take away the quality of the podcast. So, good job! Looking forward to future installments.

it would be nice, but get a little perspective. I don't know how many times they've said they make changes based on priority. Fixing a slight visual annoyance has to be much farther down the list than things that actually affect gameplay.

When I played WoW, there were plenty of times I was the only person in some zones. Does that mean there was a population problem in WoW?

My favorite looking armor in the game is gained on Tython at level 8 from the specialty vendor. But that chest armor is blue and not modable. If I could keep that look throught the game I would be very happy. I haven't found a modable peice like it yet.

Next time do what I did. Get a friend or pay someone who has a grapnel ability to take the ride for you while you do other things then have them pull you up, thus avoiding the balloon ride yourself.

An apology for what? The game is good or I wouldn't be paying each month to play it.

I never understood this logic. I want to play SO BAD that if they interupt me playing I will QUIT FOREVER! Whaaa?

I suppose saying ,"get over it" is too harsh here?

in patch 1.2 no race is truley exclusive using the legacy system. So, problem solved.

I don't find the combat tedious, but if you do, why are you playing at that point?

Maybe you've simply outpaced the game. I suggest putting it down for a month or two before you are truly burnt out and then comming back.

The answer to that question is you can unlock your class buffs for every character on your server and the way to do that is to reach 50 on the class that casts the buff. Same goes for race.

Sending it to yourself is fine. They expect that. That's "Normal play"

My guess? Mid to late April. If they have a hard time pinpointing an exact date but give you the month, I always assume it's at the end of the month, not the start.

The two Doctors who founded BioWare have a good laugh when people make a distinction between EA and BioWare. They are one and the same, they said. Paraphrasing. But yeah, IMHO the only mistep(s) EA/BioWare has taken so far is their rediculous DRM, money grubbing DLC's, and the infamous Dragon Age 2.

Coruscant isn't Korribans mirror, Tython is. Coruscants mirror is Dromand Kaas. You're comparing the Empire starting world with the Republic capital.

Republic: Sheldon: Trooper (he loves leading in Paintball) Leonard: Consular (He's the most down to eath and "adjusted") Wolowitz: Knight (He likes to pretend he's not a wimp) Raj: Smuggler (He's the wittiest, assuming you're not a hot girl)

You don't tell your friends your real name? Bit strange I think.

Quite a pickle BioWare is in. If they work extra long to make sure their content is solid, people complain. If BioWare puts out content without taking extra time to make sure the content is solid, people complain. Actually I wouldn't call it a pickle. I'd call it a catch.
