    Oh Snap**

    If I didn't have my orange gear to wear I'd wear green 40's gear instead of the fugly stuff they give us in terms of PvP armor! Seriously though .. when I buy new BM/WH peices they do stay in inven untill I can pull the mods, save for a couple minor peices I refuse to wear such crap.
  2. I don't remember it that way at all. The Kashyyyk missions that required space missions were for space loots. You didn't need to do them to progress in the ground game. Frankly, any monkey in a space suit could have done those missions. SWG's controls were the most simple possible. If you had a problem with them .. I wonder how you can control your ground character, as that was actually more complex then the space controls.
  3. Ha! My fist time through Voss... think I was on my Bounty Hunter. I have a habit of buffing people at random as I have all 4 class buffs. Ran acrost this guy up by the Gormak ship and he just had 1 class buff. So I buff him ... nothing .. try it again ... nothing.... I'm scratching my head wondering what the hell is going on, why is my buff not working? I try again, and again ... I'm pretty much following this guy around trying to get my buffs to work. I'm in range, in LoS, he's not in a convo, I have him target......wait ..... oh hell he's a Jedi. /facepalm
  4. Hitching a ride.... http://imageshack.us/a/img560/8775/hitchs.jpg We don't need no stinkin Blasters! http://imageshack.us/a/img812/6058/stinkingblasters.jpg Yesterday during a voidstar match my marauder got stuck for the last 30 seconds or so of the round in a strange pose. Picture throwing a football, then freeze at the last moment when you release the ball. Could still run around/jump etc. but his upper body was froze in that position. Strangest thing I've seen so far unfortunately the round ended before I could find a good angle and take a screenie.
  5. Yeah mara/sent are the only duel weilding classes that get a tallent to increase their off hand capability. Mercs/GS etc are stuck with an off-hand weapon that's mostely just for show. You know ... 800-1000 dmg main hand 60-120 dmg off hand, should it actually hit.
  6. Ok I was getting ready to say "4 to 6 days /played?" but then you followed up. The legacy exp perk basically puts you back at the amount of exp you used to get for WZ's. Not sure when it happened, but at some point they reduced exp acrost the board. (then again I might be remembering beta levels) The biggest problem is that leveling this way is entirely queue dependent. When you're going through class and planetary quest lines you don't have to sit in a queue. If you only play during 'prime time' hours then it isn't bad. What I generally do on alts is PvP while the gettin's good, then when the queue slows down I go back to my class/planet quests. The upside of this is that you pretty much stay a couple levels above your quests, which makes them quick and easy to run through. In fact I would say the fastest way to level is running class/planet missions with PvP/space missions as fillers in between planets or any time you fall below your quests listed levels. But the real "best" way to do it, is to play what you enjoy and let the levels take care of themselves. I'm up to 5 lv 50's now and the 'desire' and/or 'excitement' of gaining levels just isn't there any more. When I'm playing my lower level alts I'm more than happy just to run around killing this or that and sooner or later I might run acrost my quest mobs. Streaking through a WZ. Taunting opposite faction players outside their outposts on som planets. If I happen to level up that day 'great', if not....'great'.
  7. With coms capped at 2k you can buy one peice of BM gear. (maybe 2 if minor slots) If you've banked ranked coms, then sure ... Can you bank ranked coms pre-50? If so I gotta wonder why bother converting them to buy BM slots instead of using them to get started on WH? You paid a 3-1 ratio to get them even if it means you only do one slot BM to WH I would assign that a higher value then converting back at a 1-1 ratio to buy BM. I know there's a valor level requirment, dunno if there's a level requirment as well to convert ranked coms. I tried to get a head start on an alt and found out the hard way that A) The 2k cap is still in place on coms. B) You cannot buy and bank BM peices prior to lv 50.
  8. Indeed. When I played EVE I had three accounts. I even had a macro setup that would mine resources on one, while the second would transport from cans back to the space station. The third I would actively control to kill off pirates and any players who would disturb my operations. Of course back then battleships were the toughest thing out there, and I had a stable of them. Ah yes .. Valorium Propulsion Industries. Where we specialise in the latest top of the line propulsion technologies. Be sure to check out our extensive line of Frigates and Destroyers. Been so long .. There was some sort of engine/booster that I made my fortune with. What was I saying ...
  9. EVE is a little different in that respect though. Because of the way skills and training work in EVE I would expect them to have a higher number of subscribers vs active players. I havn't played EVE in a long time but there used to be a lot of (log in-assign skills to train/log out) then 18 hours later (log in-assign new skills to train/logout), two weeks later (log in, assign new skills to train/log out). Crafting was the same way. You would assign a blueprint select a number of runs, then check back in a week. I would expect EVE to have a larger number of subs in relation to it's consecutive players number than you would see in other games.
  10. It was a joke. You are spelling it wrong. You mean to say "good", "god" is an all-powerful religeous being.
  11. I think "Yo" up there may mean to say stasis vs choke, and not lift. It can be confused as 'stasis' also lifts you. I was unaware of any difference in terms of fire pit damage. As for the 'duration' ..... I know my jedi tank has a talent that allows force stasis to last it's full duration while removing the need to be channeled. I would guess that Jugs would probably have that same option. This would explain said skill lasting full duration while getting "whaled on".
  12. A god tank you say. You don't think you might be overdoing it maybe just a little bit?
  13. I don't understand the whole issue. I even read convo's in general chat about it (usually people telling others to always vote for the healer). I have never cared for a moment how many MVP votes I or anyone else got. Half the time I don't bother with it. When I do I'll often just randomly pick someone who had decent numbers. Now if someone does stand out during a match as doing a fine job, and I recognize their name I'll vote for em. I play with name tags and icons turned off so unless I have reason to target someone I only see enemy name tags during a round.
  14. They went a step further with STO. Every time someone opens a box and gets a rare loot there is a system wide message to all players. "Soandso has recieved 'X' Then that player is spammed for the next hour with tells and mail from players wanting to buy said item from them.
  15. You mean they way they've completely blown it on everything else? (please use real words and not made up corporate BS like "freemium", they make you sound like a complete *******) Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
  16. Was going to metion the STO boxes. It's gotten to the point with STO that all new content comes in those boxes, regardless if you're a subscriber or not. You want the new content, you have to buy keys and gamble for it. The few bits of content that don't come from those boxes go to the cash store ONLY. All a subscription gets you is a tiny bit of 'funny money' each month. Not enough to buy anything unless you save it up for 6-10 months.
  17. You're doing it wrong. No one expects a full on flight sim like independence war 2 Rather something like SWG/JTL You had throttle up/down and control was entirely by mouse. Any monkey in a flight suit could do it, it wasn't all that different from what's already in game in terms of controls. You seem to be expressing an unreasonable fear. I played SWG from beta until shut down. At the point when they tried to dumb-down the game (known as the NGE or 'New Game Experience') The ground game was ruined. I didn't cancel my sub, know why? Because like a lot of SWG players, I still loved the space game (which was not touched by NGE). Tons of players have been expressing thier outright disgust for the way EA/BW handled space from the moment it was revealed. In fact, the longest discussions bar-none where on the matter. All of it was ignored, they had this attitude that they knew better. Had they actually implimented a JTL style space component from the begining, this game would be in much better shape today. Where they to impliment such a component today, it would likely bring more subs then any other content they could add.
  18. I don't mind the two handed look, but I wonder how it looks with a curved hilt, might be why the Jug's don't use the same anim. I think my marauder still has a curved hilt. They ever going to fix that? They screwed that up. The character holds the curved hilt backwards, it should curve away from your arm.
  19. Yet so dissapointing when you see it in game and your character is holding it backwards. The hilt should curve away from you, not towards you like the idiot devs have it. The purpose of the curved hilt is both to provide a more secure grip for powerful slashing attacks, as well as lowering the blade angle when thrusting.
  20. Played that through beta and then maybe three months afterwards. Long time ago, but I do remember rain issues there. Made it really hard to play, and was far to frequent. Again, this was beta/shortly after launch. I did like the way they did musical instruments though. Do you still play it? We always joked about how long the game would go before the socialists would make them remove pipeweed.
  21. Laziness? Are you on some sort of medication? You seem to be equating a VIDEO GAME with real life. You need help man, seriously. The credit prices are UNREASONABLE. That is the issue. You have the time to grind out those credits in a VIDEO GAME. You sir, are the lazy one.
  22. I had a player months ago that was harrassing me out of the blue in WZ's. He would use 'extricate' or similar skill to pull me back into spawn area's so I'd die when the timer went out. He was also 'helping' the opposing team to score and hack objectives and such. This continued over several days, and several CS tickets. Eventually I never saw him again, though the CS responses always leave you in the dark as to what they did (or did not as the case may be).
  23. Victims? You just don't get it. No one is asking for hand-outs here. I'm not even going to go further as a man who has busted my *** all my life to earn a living, I find your comment highly offensive.
