  1. Sounds like he cares about you, but doesn't know how to show it...

     

     

    If you want to go to the effort, create a log book of your time spent. It sounds silly, but it could provide evidence of how productive you are with your time (outside of the school holidays in particular).

    You shouldn't need to do this, but it's the only thing I can suggest if you want to show him that you aren't addicted to games, given the info you have provided.

     

    [Edit]: Also, if he doesn't know anything about computer games, his reaction is quite understandable, most kids do get addicted to games, and violent games get all the bad media. There's a lot of speculation as to what games do/cause, with only a small portion of it having any real truth. Naturally it's the people outside the gaming community that hear these things and get the wrong idea before doing any research.

  2. I play with key bindings, and it's definitely easier if you play a ranged character that doesn't have to move as much, especially if you're new to this.

    With key bindings it's pretty much from memory, you wont necessarily even be looking at your skill bar, which allows you to watch whatever's going on.

     

    Start by doing some PvE and getting used to hitting the buttons, when you go to PvP on key bindings for the first time you'll probably mash the buttons or hit the wrong ones because you want to do several things at once and your fingers are having an overload :D

     

     

    On a related note, you'll find that certain key bindings are easier for you to reach than others depending on your set up. So play around with your skills and where you've arranged them. Having a pattern for which types of skills goes where helps. (all of my AoE skills get bound to 10 and it's Shift/Ctrl variations).

     

    Personally, I find it easier to learn a characters key bindings if I start from 1, that way it starts off simple, slowly adding more skills as I go so it's not too overwhelming.

    That said, I'm using a Naga and an Orbweaver for pretty much all my keybindings and movement.

  3. Hey! What happened with this? haha

    Most important thing is the server latency, I managed to play with 220ms (Argentina), it's not too bad.. but..

     

    Anyways, bump!

     

    They created some Asia-Pacific servers for us Aussies and everyone else in the Oceana area. They were eventually merged with the US servers due to numbers.

    Having been on those servers, I can tell you that the community wasn't exactly sustainable, not enough new players to make it viable. The servers were slowly dieing.

     

    Even if the server was just for the spoken language, do you really think there would be enough people to make a sustainable community? and then what about the PvE, PvP and RP variations of the server? I seriously doubt it would be viable.

  4. The Carnage Marauders I've spoken to seem to go with Power over Crit.

    I may be mistaken, but Power should raise your base damage, while Crit I think works best with surge, (one increases the chance of landing a critical hit, the other increases the damage when you get a critical hits)

     

    So, assuming I'm right with what I said above, Power is the better option, it will give you consistent increased damage, as compared to random fluctuations

  5. He plays hard to get, you should get another chance later on. I've noticed some of my companions ignore the first few times you flirt with them.

    Quinn would have to be the funniest though, particularly when you try to flirt with him. Also, depending on your dialogue choices you'll get different chances to flirt with him, so by all means hit ESC lots and explore what different choices lead to... If you can be bothered with that.

  6. I really like this idea!

     

    I noticed we got a couple of outfits from the skimpy male outfit thread, that was started ages ago. all they did was edit out half of an existing piece for some of it. others they seem to have designed from scratch based on what that guy had edited and posted in that thread.

     

    Here's to hoping! :D

  7. It's for real and at 1st I had the same attitude you guys did but, here is my take on why they are doing it.

     

    I THINK THIS IS WHY THEY ARE DOING IT

     

    They are trying to protect us from a Hacker tactic called Combo'ing. What Combo'ing is, is when a bunch of hacker attack a weak website that does not have good security and raid it for "Login & Password" info. Then, they take the login & passwords and start trying to use them on other websites (Examples- Paypal, Bank websites, GAME websites, credit card websites, ect, ect, ect.) and when they find a match they get on to the account and then they screw you. This tactic works quite often because people now more than ever are forced to register to online sites in order to get access to the site and most people HATE trying to remember several login's & passwords so, they try as much as possible to recycle the same login & password if they can (I try not reuse passwords for this reason but, people do it all the time). By changing their login requirement to a screen name it helps secure your information due to the fact most web sites want you to use your email address as your login and there fore most of the time hacker using this technique are going to try to use your email address as the login and then apply the password they found.

     

    I never thought of that... So I guess SWTOR wouldn't be considered one of those weaker security websites? since our email is in our account info...

     

    On another note, If you had a programable keyboard and programed one of your keys to type an 8 character word, would a keylogger be able to log those 8 characters, or just the button that was pressed?

    Just something i've been wondering about for a while now...

  8. Today I saw that the european CMs got fired.

    As I am sure that a great company, as EA is, has a lot of respect for theire european comunity and paying customers, the only explanation for this drastical step, I can think of, is that they are running out of money and will not be able to hold TOR much longer.

     

    As this probably means "Makeb" will never get released, I want to ask how I will get the money back, I paid for it.

     

    If that's the case, where is all the money they're making from Cartel Coins going?

    It's more likely that they figured they would have more profit if they didn't have to pay those extra two staff members (since aparently the German and French forums aren't as active as our one)

  9. Maybe they're going to hire some new people, but booted the old ones before bringing the new ones in? That would sort of make sence, however it's not ideal...

    Who know's what EA are thinking... :(

     

    Vielleicht sind sie werde einige neue Leute einstellen, aber Booten die alten, bevor sie die neue in? Das wäre von make sence sortieren, aber es ist nicht ideal ...

    Wer weiß, was EA denken ... : (

     

    Peut-être qu'ils vont embaucher de nouvelles personnes, mais expulsé les anciens avant de mettre les nouvelles? Ce serait faire de trier absence, mais ce n'est pas idéal ...

    Qui sait ce que EA pensez ... : (

  10. In theory any unlocks you use as a sub before going f2p should remain... However I don't think that actually works, you'd be better off waiting till your account become f2p.

     

    Your 2 crew skills will get re-set and you'll have to start again, or maybe they'll just get locked out? (unlikely)

    One option would be to remove two of your skills to guarentee which one it is that stays, for example, I'd keep the crafting skill (assuming you have a crafting skill), since the gathering skills can be leveled up quite quickly at little to no cost...

     

    In the end what you do is up to you, a lot of information about f2p transitioning and its unlocks is quite sketchy :(

  11. I'll say it again - put items from discontinued events on the CE vendor for credits. That alone will give it tremendous Collectors value as long as you keep up with one time or rare events.

     

    In my mind, how it would work, is you would have event X - and after N amount of time after event X, those items show up on the CE vendor for credits.

     

    Only problem there is that the people who earned the items would complain about devaluing the effort they put into getting those items in the first place

  12. I hope everyone realizes what inevitably happens the more google translator is used:

     

     

     

    :rak_03:

     

     

    Edit: - at 3:26 "I have nothing" , I almost died from not being able to breathe I was laughing so hard...you have been warned ;)

     

    Lol, that's why I said the translators translations require a bit of deciphering while reading :p There is no substitute to actually being fluent in a language.

    I started learning Japanese, and sounds like 'wa' have no real translation in English, just like our sentence 'fillers' have no real translation in Japanese :)
