Bumping for visibility. This is really annoying. Please bring back the option to set timezones.

Starting with this last patch, it seems that Ensign Temple, when she attacks or heals me, using Kaliyo's prompts. I don't remember it happening prior to this last patch, but I haven't been playing much in the last month. Is anyone else experiencing this or is my game just bugged?

You can already mail stuff to cross-faction alts. A Legacy Bank would be amaaaaazing. <hint, hint>

Or any of her incarnations, really.

Looks more like "soon" to me: Emphasis mine.

The license reduction will likely be in 1.1.6 or 1.1.7. The wording reads as pre-1.2 to me, but I could be wrong. Since we still have a month or so before 1.2, there's plenty of time for interim changes. I just hope they rebate the difference to us.

torhead is mostly inaccurate info at this point.

I'm going to go with "Sentinel's Vest" http://db.darthhater.com/items/23017/sentinels_vest/

I'd love to see a Legacy capital ship for the truly obsessed, er, dedicated.

This isn't entirely accurate. The reason the EVE economy flourishes like it does it because there is virtually no other way to acquire the "gear" you need. There are no commendation vendors or gear vendors. If you want something, someone has to have put it on the market for you to buy. Yes, there are "rare drops" but they're difficult to get with any kind of reliability and thus incredibly expensive. When I played, I had a T2 production line that spit out a staggering daily profit, but the logistics of hunting down the necessary mats to feed the beast took hours out of each day. Yes, it's a healthy and vibrant economy, but it doesn't leave you room to do much else. The overhead necessary for that scale of economy is not conducive to the feel that SWTOR puts forth. The rough equivalent would be not letting people repair their gear so it gets destroyed and needs to be replaced, which would not go over well. The one point that frequently gets overlooked in these discussions is that crafters are not outfitting the main character on any given account. Those people are the lonely 50s farming Ilium or the 30-40s enjoying the content. Crafters service the horde of alts that follow in their wake. The game's only a few weeks old, so no one's had the time to create an entire tribe of lowbie alts. Once those people begin exploring the other stories or trying out the other advanced classes, crafters will find a very willing market snapping up their gear and mods. You can feel a little of that now, but nothing like what you'll see in 2-3 months and after. Of course, no discussion of crafting problems would be complete without addressing the hot mess that is the GTN. Difficulty finding upgrades makes selling things slower. I, personally, hate the interface. I can reliably find a few things, but I cringe at the thought of browsing through to find better gear. I've bought a couple pieces and some crafting mats, but delving the market to find gaps I can exploit is just too headache-inducing to attempt. I'd rather just go quest or run space combat. I would highly suggest that early crafters work on the purples they know will sell and bide their time until the game matures a little more. Once the GTN is revamped and the player base spreads out more, you'll see sales pick up.

In both cases, you want crit then surge. Big crits make your healing efficiency increase.

It's actually 5x purple per blue for a total of 15 purple variations for each green. Check the stickied RE guide for some wonderfully detailed info on how it all shakes out.

They're single-use special missions. If you want to run them again, you'll need to buy another.

I'd suggest Biochem/Bioanalysis/Slicing. Sell the rare schematic drops from slicing for tons of creds and buy the blue/purple mats off the GTN. It'll save you a lot of money and time by not running the Diplomacy missions.

I wish the TorHead guys would just purge the beta info and start over. It would seriously cut down on the confusion.

I award you +1 Internets.

The WoW iPhone app was a godsend. You could do AH trading from anywhere and check out all your characters across all the servers. It really helped the traders (like myself) to keep up on what was happening. The interface is extremely abbreviated from the full game and really only useful for buying mats and selling stuff. The fact that it pulled from your bank as well as bags was fantastic. It was well worth the $3/month charge. One of the main limitations is that you can't access it while you're logged into the game. So, no trading on the phone while you're questing across the world from the AH. An understandable check put in place to curb exploitation. I could see an app like that adding a lot to the game. First and foremost, it gives you something to do while waiting in the 50+ minute queue to get into the game. Secondly, being able to run crew skills while you're out and about is a natural extension of the game itself. Your character can remotely command their minions, so bringing that ability into the real world makes good sense. The main benefit, though, is freeing up play slots. If I can run crew skills while I'm on the couch, that's one more server slot I'm not taking up "playing" every 5-15 minutes. This decreases server load for those people questing and PvPing and alleviates the queuing we're all getting frustrated about. Everyone wins. I would love to add in GTN functionality, as well, but that might be too much. Being able to buy and sell mats as well as run crafting skills would be incredible, but maybe that veers too far into "competitive edge" territory. Either way, I would be willing to pay $3-5/month for this feature. The extra bandwidth and development cost needs to be covered somewhere, after all.

The reason this happens is people gather a node but don't take the mats. The node is then flagged as collected but lingers around waiting for the player to collect it. Highly irritating, but nothing you can do about it.
