That's wrong because EA is just the parent company. They don't develop games and just put Bioware's name on it.

That's a great analogy.

It's possible to do decent ranged dps using the Assault build since most of your damage comes from ranged (10m+) abilties. But you will only do your highest possible dps if you use the melee ability, stockstrike.

The colors of the new forum theme matches the Republic Fleet's.

It was up to a 50 min queue time last night.

It's probably not the main world quests that you are abandoning.

Most, if not all, main quests in each world can't be abandoned. It seems like they are trying to force players to play through them.

I'm seriously loling @ the people saying "it's not acquaintance invite, it's friend invite". Most people that play various online video games have people in their "Friends Lists" who don't know their real names. Stop pretending that you don't understand what the OP means. On the other hand, it does say: "...invite up to three of your closest friends for a 7-day free trial."

Play the GTN mini-game. Basically buy low, sell high. You could be rich within a few days. But, you'll have to watch out for the undercutters, so, it can really be time-consuming.

I agree. Many times on my server, its cheaper to just buy it from the GTN instead.

It should be saving your login to the forums.

You're welcome

The current system already discourages making multiple characters for some people. Some people don't want to play through the same class quests and story to play a different advanced class.

Guardians and Sentinels are not totally different classes, both are Jedi Knights. Totally different classes wouldn't share a whole talent tree. You'll still have the same class quests, story, companions, and starship. You are still a Jedi Knight, the class you choose at the character creation screen.

"Now, if purple gear was fully moddable, players would simply farm the first boss, acquire 5 pair of boots, extract the armoring, mod and enhancements from the boots and slots them in their favorite Custom items. That actually sounds cool, but it really isn’t. Letting players extract the armoring mod from the purple items would trivialize end game gear progression and stop rewarding successful and dedicated players for their efforts." http://www.swtor.com/blog/some-clarifications-item-modifications
