knowing BW nope, but we shall see once that change hits the PTS

from the sounds of that all it will do is let you turn off the hood graphic as right now if you disable the helm while wearing a hooded robe the hood appears without a way to disable that unless you unequip said robe

as well as being a cash cow, as EA cares little about its customers and more about its money BW might be "trying" but they are greatly held back by EA

lol i have to COMPLETELY agree to this line they claimed prelaunch that they learned SOOO much from WoWs launch mistakes, but i see absolutely nothing of that the only thing they learned was how to keep servers stable, but they learned nothing about how to do proper patching/patch testing or downtime, its just as bad as vanilla wow used to be right after launch edit: even rift is better off in terms of downtime and that game is rather bad

actually the subject says 8:00am CST

dont expect an update on this for another hour at least 2 weeks ago i think it was, they cancelled maintenance and did not let anyone know about it till 1.5-2 hours after it should have started...

being late seems a new BW trend i wasnt up for yesterdays maint, but last week the countdown started about 10 mins late and servers did not go down until :25 the maint previous to that one was similar

problem is, if shaders are set to low bloom is auto disabled, and unless i set shaders to high i can not enable bloom so its either enable AA and not get holograms/lightsabers during conversations, or set shaders to high/enable bloom and get a huge fps lose

well to my surprise, i did not get the starter for the alderaan bonus series until i hit lvl 42 and was already about to give up hope on getting these quests... even tho the bonus quests themselves are only lvl 40, definitely seems a bit messed edit: got said quest starter at the fleet while passing by for a class quest
