nice! I may try to name a sith alt Bob, so I can be Darth Bob!

Suggestion Box this way ↑

this whole conversation is pointless. If you don't play a PT then you obviously have no basis to argue about ANYTHING that is OP or what needs to be nerfed. do us a favor, lvl to 50 as a PT, then comeback and we'll talk. You're whole argument is akin to this: you: I know nothing about wine but let me tell you what you can do to improve the oak undertones in this cabernet wine producer: ummm, yeah....how about you ****

Instead of having "thread roundup" and the dev tracker as community news, how about posting REAL news. I think all of the community would love to have the community team post links any interviews or information presented by the devs to outside websites like this: http://www.gamestm.co.uk/discuss/star-wars-the-old-republic-we-are-looking-at-free-to-play-says-lead-designer/ Why should we, as subscribers have to find out information like that from other players BEFORE the community team will post any information about it? In that same vein, I would also suggest that if the Community team is posting "tweets", then this website should have a twitter feed so that we can ALL benefit from the info...again, why should I have to scan the internet for any new information before looking at our "own" community board. It truly seems counter-intuitive.

Well, another MMO (rhymes with dRIFT), is finally getting the "stylist" feature after 9 updates (about 1.5 years) after release. I challenge the devs to do better than that!

Before you "cry wolf" or exclaim that the "sky is falling", perhaps you should wait until tomorrow afternoon before you make any assumptions about what servers are being left behind.

mail is NOT transferred. they are telling us to take all of our mail attachments with us in our inventory

Except for the fact that IF populations had increased after launch, then having a gazillion servers would not have mattered. The problem is that population (and concurrent players) have decreased which got us to the point of where we are. The real key is that the dev team should have had contingency plans for this from the beginning. I can't defend too many things about Champions Online, but I think they had a good idea. One Server for everyone, the more people that logged in, the more individual shards got created (so that map population was never huge)...and general chat went across all shards.

I didn't know George Lucas would be posting on these forums. So......when are you retiring?

my coworker played under the friends trial a few weeks ago on his M11X and he had all the GFX setting maxed to the right and he said it was running fine with no problems.

because your anti-grav module is failing

Look here: http://www.swtor-spy.com/companions/risha/71/ and here: http://www.swtor-spy.com/guides/affection-and-companion-gifts-guide/1352/ Using those links you should be able to maximize Risha's affection with only gifts.

There are also some nice apps on the Google Play Store, which eliminates the need to alt-tab to your desktop for a quick reference.

I don't think anyone would disagree with adding these options. However, don't you think that this is more appropriate for the "Suggestion Box" section?

They have mentioned updating the population caps on the servers, but they have discussed any specific plans at this time.

I am pretty sure that Mako did not speak in every story arc cutscene. Early on she spoke quite a bit, but I think after Act 1 her comments were few and far between. At least that is how I remember it....YMMV

go to the powertech subforum and read all of the guides. Respecs are not incredibly expensive, so I would suggest finding a spec you like and then reset your skills and start working on a specific spec. Personally, I went Shield Tech and like it for its survivability.

Do you have a skill template you are using? Are you keeping your gear up to date as you level?

huttball watching and betting would be a great mini-game.

There will be, but it will be user-run. In most MMO's when the vet players have accrued so much in-game currency, things like lotteries do happen.

Yes, I am.

I really hope that they they can tie social points to non-combat activities while being grouped. For example, if my group is searching for datacrons and we travel through previously unexplored areas that grant XP, we should also get social points. I think the same would go for Lore objects. It certainly would create a more social dynamic IMO.

I would have gone with Bob. btw, my first thought upon seeing your name was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Katzenjammer_Kids
