  1. My companion had "Defeat the Empire" as a like and "Sith" as a dislike. I would expect my affection with him to go down if I pick an option that grants dark side points.

     

    Actually, from playing as a Trooper at least, this isn't really the case.

     

    Affection and morality are distinct for most non-Jedi companion characters. The first Trooper companion generally believes in doing the right thing, but when confronted with the choice to betray your superior officer to save innocent lives or obey an unjust order, he prefers you obey. He's kinda a cool kid like that. B)

  2. Remember Remember the 16th of December

    Early Access, friendship and plot

    I see no reason why the Decembrists

    should ever be forgot

     

    A December Drama filled with determination

    Draws misguided directions for defenseless dreamers dreaming!

     

    before Lightsabers dance the dumb fact will dawn;

    Oh Fear not daunting debutantes dashing out Dangerously into damnation

    For you too shall be delivered Directly to Devastation

    Even though you shall enter it last.

     

    Decay Dear weekdays, drown and disappear

    The December Door leads to a galaxay far from despair

    dump defintions of living a life

    Dukes and Dwellers, Dorm dudes and Degenerates lets reach for something higher

    So let us all drop Dead Dead for either the Republic of the Empire.

     

    If I didn't have to go into work for 4 hours in a few hours I'd get drunk to that yo!

     

    Decembretheren forever!

  3. I've been chilling since Tuesday when I finished a final (w00t, now I've completed my Master's!), but tomorrow I've got a seminar and lab meeting to go to, so I can't just veg-out all day T.T

     

    Bad timing, especially since I'll be traveling pretty much all weekend. Oh well, after that I'll get some play time in.

  4. At least on Origin, the listed price for SWTOR is $59.99. Then when you preorder, you pay a $5 "pre-order fee" and $54.99 are in line to be charged when the game releases.

     

    If you want to cancel your Origin order, EA will refund you the "down payment". In fact, the customer service rep I spoke to OFFERED that, without me asking (I was canceling so I could switch from physical to digital). I'd say that's not being robbed at all, especially since even the YouTube ads for SWTOR say "up to".

     

    If GameStop or Best Buy or whatever charged you 5 on top of 60, then they robbed you, that's all there is to it.

     

    PS Dec 9th, I'm in tomorrow.

  5. You do realize they released that now on purpose, right?

     

    Same with WoW scheduling Mists for the near future. Other MMOs (though I would hesitate to call GW an MMO since everything's instanced but towns) are trying to ensure their players aren't switching to the newest high-budget game. That's business.

  6. I'm not trying to pick on the disgruntled players or anything, but what's the issue with being underleveled compared to a small minority of players? Especially if they only have days of advantage over you?

     

    Being underleveled means it's harder to find groups and you might get ganked some. But if it's only a small portion of the playerbase that is at high level, then you'll still find plenty of people to group with. And being ganked is part of life on a PvP server... it'll only happen for a couple days, anyway, until you catch up.

     

    So what is the issue with being underleveled? I ask because I played WoW for a year or two (starting at launch day) without ever hitting 60... I think I made it to lvl 52 or something in multiple years, in addition to 2 or 3 level 30s. It was still plenty of fun, although I missed out on raiding... but that's because I leveled slowly, not because people got a 7 day head start on me.
