Saw someone named "Mom" last night, Empire side. There were a lot of mom jokes being made...

Agreed, it makes sense to go through an orbital station when you don't have a ship, but when you do you should be able to just land on the planet, LIKE IN THE MOVIES. Getting a ship should feel more rewarding in not having to sit through so many load screens. It makes sense having to dock your ship at a station for quest-related things, but I'd rather to get to the planet faster.

Seeing as how current characters are incorporated into your first character's Legacy, I'm guessing it's not exclusive to new characters. Sure you may have options to give a character earlier access to riding a mount, but they also stated about other perks and attacks that you can unlock through the Legacy tree. Basically, newer characters will probably get more out of the expanded Legacy tree but there will still be perks for current higher leveled characters.

As far as I know, every major MMO that's been released always have your character(s) saved to the servers, that way it encourages you to come back later in the future and give them more money. You should definitely be safe in taking a break and not losing your toon.

Try out the other 6 classes you haven't tried? If you don't care about story, then you should probably cancel your sub and try another MMO.

You mean the Taung? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Taung Yeah, they went extinct sadly, so no go there... I would love to play a Trandoshan like in SWG, but I doubt Bioware would make them a playable species. My "true" request would be for Kaleesh.

Also, KOTOR had the ability to return to your ship at any moment (most of the time) from the map screen, so really it's not like Bioware hasn't done it before. =P

Actually goes live on the 17th, that way it keeps people playing before they decide to cancel their subs.

Holy ****, I didn't realize the fleet pass actually had a use, thank you! Also, I too would love a quick way to get to my ship. If we can use a shuttle to quick travel across the planet, why can't we use our own ship to pick us up? And it'd be nice if we had a mailbox to access on our ship, I see no reason why we shouldn't get personal messages in our personal "home".

The removal of purple name tags for party members, seriously why was that changed from the beta?!

No actual appearance tab, i.e. not letting me customize my look while keeping the stats of my best gear.

Agreed, I'm tired of having to constantly tweak my gear to make sure I like my look AND still have the best stats I can get. The modding idea is good, just isn't delivering to us players who want to look good in our own eyes. I ran into another bounty hunter last night that looked nearly identical to me, and I have mostly orange gear that looks decent. Having an appearence tab would greatly increase the diversity of player looks as currently everyone is looking very similar due to the constraint of gear stats per each level.

To the above poster, the problem is that the level 50 mods that are in the epic gear slots are LOCKED. Thus, if you don't like the look of the gear but want the stats, well too bad, cause you can't take out the mods for your orange gear! What Bioware really should've done is have the option of looting mod(s) themselves instead of picking up the gear, that way you can get the stats for your orange gear. OR, they should've made mods gear exclusive, like having a chest-mod versus a boot-mod. This way they could still avoid people farming the early bosses for the mods instead of progressing to the end of raids. If they loot those boots, they can pop out boot-only mods. Obviously without an appearance tab of some kind, we're forced to having to slave over our orange gear to get a look we like and still have viable stats.

It'd be great if they could have the mod tables reduce the cost of removing mods by like 50%, then they'd at least serve some function in seeking out. =P

I'm a level 22 Merc Pyro and have been soloing the game for the most part (just grouping for heroics and flashpoints) and I've been greatly enjoying it. Here's the build I'm shooting for: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#300MMZMcoZfhrbzGGMs.1

They did mention a while back that they were going to be looking into having Grey gear for grey players due to community feedback. My BH will definitely need it as I keep him pretty much in the middle of the two sides, just a tiny bit more lightside though. Still, I definitely can't get any light/dark gear the way it is. =P

I keep asking this in-game, but no one seems to know what happened. Basically, in the Beta whenever you grouped up all the party members would have their names highlighted in purple, making it easier to pick them out on the screen from other players. This isn't the case with the launch version, unless they've hidden it somewhere. Either way though the game currently has group player names displayed in the default blue, just like any other player. It's been a real pain to notice a fellow group member when they're standing right next to me. Does anyone know what happened to this feature? Seems silly for it to be removed...

Yeah, the game has great music in it, but the problem is I never hear it. I wish they had an audio option to keep the music looping or something, I hate how quiet it gets running around on planets. =P

Ugh, quick bump as this missed the front page in under a minute XP I'm hoping someone knows something about this, seems silly for it to be removed.

Yeah, I loved the chat bubbles when I played launch SWG, always nice and easy to follow conversations with people in proximity to you.

It'd definitely be a fun feature for PVP servers, even better if multiple bounty hunters can go after the same target for some competition. Hm, then again you'd probably have groups of griefing BHs running around dominating individuals. Either way, I knew SWG had it but I left the game before I saw it implemented. Anyone have personal knowledge of how well it worked?

I just wish we had an alternate appearance function that allows me to better customize my look without sacrificing stats of new loot. WoW now has a system designed to do this, but TOR really needs something that other MMOs have done so well. I've placed a favorite armor look of mine in the bank as I got a new "better" set today, hoping I can get back that old look somehow I loved.

So this will be the first time I'll be using an authenticator, what happens when it breaks? Can you still log in and play without it?

Blaster shot to the knee for Malgus?=P
