Ok to update for those of you who might find this info useful. The initial request was straight forward denied and i can understand that and accept it, but as i got hold of the permissions team in EA I responded with the following question: In short trying to get permission is a no go and I found the response to my question kind of insulting as it completely avoided my questions by telling me to seek legal advice instead. So unless you are some big name guys in the gaming world, I would suggest not making any videos using any of the in-game footage. On a personal note I will no longer be doing so for swtor as in general it the fact they could shut it all down any second makes it not worth the risk. I'm also going to stop playing the game as this was kinda the nail in the coffin for me. For those of you who have been kind enough to follow me, I'm terribly sorry guys but I don't condone the fact that users can't display their own art-form for a game they love by means such as machinema, commentary, hints, tips and guides..etc Take care

So I've been trying to request permission to use the ingame swtor footage for youtube and every turn i make is either met with no reply or the following reply: So i am posting this concern on the community forum as requested. I would like granted permission to use ingame swtor footage to further make Youtube helpful videos. Considering the fact the video's in general serve to promote the game i can't see why this is taking weeks for a decent/any response, Hell even a response of "we are looking into it and it might talk some time" would be nice!

Episode 2 now up for those interested -

Hey guys. Starting up my next community driven series, this one is to give opinion and news and events type of thing. Will be every mon and fri - touch wood. Was thinking of calling it the (Whis) series, what do think? maybe too close reference to taking a wiz? hmm anyway link is here - http://:

While this maybe the case, I am a player more then a forum reader, i check maybe once/twice a week and before posting this I also went through the dev tracker to see if there was a scrap of info on this subject. If many posts have been made on this already, then why has it not been addressed? in talk and action.

Ok the game is pushing 6months in age and my own patience is wearing thin. I understand that content and new features take time to code and create, but why exactly is it taking months to fix an issue which could have been fixed months ago. I'm talking about direct server merging, as in taking all characters from one server and putting them on to another. Shut the servers down for 2 days, w/e it takes, you've granted us all of this free time, use it. Make the game a better place! Now for those of you about to say this is coming in 1.3, tmk This is NOT what is coming and what is coming is the cross server lfg tool. And while this will be a welcome tool to many, this in short does not fix the community server problems, in that low populations have more specific effects, most of you know what these are.. general chat, trade, auction, and people willing to do said instances... right now each server i log on to has 100-200 people, 50 of which maybe active in fleets. Surly you can see this is a problem that a cross server tool won't fix Time to shut down half your servers bioware, put them on standby, whatever... get the community togeather.. And as much as a complaint this is, i would still much rather have 20 min ques then log into ghost towns.

It childish because people attacking the "video" forced you to respond to attack the "person". Yes its your work and your time put into it, but as a creator, taking on-board some criticism can be very helpful, as well as knowing when to not waste time with people trolling because all your doing is feeding them. For reference I never said you couldn't use the mouse and I personally think its fine to do so. I am only trying to clarify why some people out there will feel the need to respond in such a kind, which is especially due to the high expectations these days people have when it comes to Pvp video's. To combat this, a little research can go a long way. Finding out what the larger majority are interested in and think about why, followed by adapting in your own personality to make your video unique. For a first time video I definitely give you props, jumping into making a pvp vid can be very time consuming when you are learning all of the tools required to make one. The music was ok and the play was fine and yes, you have a couple of ability's you have trained yourself to click on. But ask yourself, Is it really worth fighting people over the little qq to get your point across? or is it more worth trying to improve that aspect of play so you receive less qq in the future video's?

Interesting view, I wasn't noticeably aware of so many using pve gear as a crutch, you also say balance always favoured marauder's, yet a few months ago they were deemed the worst class of the picks for pvp. If memory serves there were a lot of threads on this a couple of months ago.
