Is your graphics card a Superclocked version? Because mine is... maybe it has something to do with that?

I don't know. I've gotten this message a couple of times myself since the patch. There must be some kind of communication problem between the game and the latest drivers now because that's what I'm using too.

You do realize that the circuit-board level stuff IS the hardware right? Have you ever overclocked your GPU? Is it old? Is it super dusty and getting hotter than it should? Those things could cause problems too.

And this proves it affects hardware how??? LMAO

Awww I'd love to have a little personal mail droid

That's a driver issue, unless it's a really bad one your hardware is probably fine. Try installing a different driver version and see if it helps.

You obviously don't know what 3rd party means...

Yeah I think they should just let you use your little mailbox notification icon to retrieve your mail. Then your mail is still stored on the server and you can easily retrieve it from anywhere. If FFXI could have theirs set up that way, so can TOR. That game is just about as basic as they come.

Yes WoW was a greater success, nobody can argue with that. But that wasn't my point. My point is that WoW was not the start of MMOs like a lot of people believe.

No it didn't... I believe Everquest was the first game to really popularize MMOs. And it came out long before WoW.

The fact of the matter is people can speculate about the success or failure of this game until they're blue in the face, but nobody can absolutely predict the future. Only time will tell what's in store for the future of TOR.

Well they COULD do something about it... but the question is whether it would actually help or just peeve people off more because they can't pick the side they want.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but I have to argue with that point. The ACs do count as seperate classes. Notice how once you pick your AC it just says "Powertech" and not Bounty Hunter - Powertech... Both ACs fill different roles and in most cases have very different playing styles. I wouldn't call them the same at all, except for their base abilities. But all classes have some similar abilities to those outside their base class anyway.

I agree. It seems like they've got a pretty good foundation. Now they just need to work out the kinks and add in all the extra goodies.

I'm subscribing! I've been having a lot of fun so far. It's got issues but I have faith that this game will be pretty awesome after another 6 or so months of updates. My main character is only at level 36 so I haven't hit that end game boredom that people have been struggling with. I know I'm good for AT LEAST another month, most likely way more.

That's probably the best analogy for this that I've seen on here. Good job. Unfortunately people these days are too used to instant gratification. They don't want to wait for the game to grow into itself.

Yeah this probably sums it up. People find the dual pistols very appealing and for some reason people think that Powertechs seem weak because they only have a single pistol. As for the Juggs, I think a lot of people prefer to tank with those over the Powertechs because it's more like the traditional style tank. Powertech is a different ball game. I've never tanked in a game before so they're all new to me and I thought the Powertech sounded pretty damn awesome. So far, it's only exceeded my expectations.

Dunno, I haven't tried tanking any Flashpoints since the patch. Hopefully I'll get to do Boarding Party tonight or tomorrow though. Guess I'll find out then.

Missile Blast, I never use it. I don't have a different set for PvP either since I don't do it too often it doesn't really seem like it would be worth the trouble to me.

I agree. This is a huge disappointment to me because Bounty Hunters always look awesome in the movies. I finally did find a nice orange set that ranges from lvls 36-41 that I like. RD-15B Commando armor. White and light blue, perfect for my light sided lady. http://www.torhead.com/search/rd-15b

This is why I'm kind of glad I never tanked in my previous MMOs. I get to learn fresh with TOR's strategies and those alone.

A lot of people with ATI cards are having issues with it. I have an Nvidia card and it works just fine for me.

1. It's sheer awesomeness, that's why I keep playing it. Basically all the reasons why I chose it to begin with are why I keep playing it. The class has only exceeded my expectations, it's so much fun to play. 2. I've always liked Bounty Hunters in Star Wars lore. Not so much the characters from the movies, but the idea of Bounty Hunters themselves. Especially from a role-playing standpoint. I have a lot of fun playing as a light sided Bounty Hunter. I rolled with a Powertech because I wanted to try tanking for a change, and I liked the idea of being a beefy BH who can take a hit. Plus I love all the gadgets. 3. I haven't gotten far enough with my other classes to have a solid opinion on this one. I gotta say though I miss being able to shoot up in the air with Death from Above when I play my other characters. 4. Good question. I've never really felt like the class was missing anything, although it would be nice if us Powertechs got a 60 second CC.

Ditto. I get more Synthweaving than anything else...

Yeah that must've been a bug because that's not how they're supposed to work. Man I wish I got a chance to use that bug for myself
