Good place to celebrate the 1x7 btw.

Are there any PVE purple crystal schematics available in game? Last Community Q&A you said we should look for it in fan sites, but I have only found the schematics for PvP purple crystal. Can you please just say if they exist or not?

^^^ The way it goes today, the imbalance is awarded.

So freak'n true!

So, I was in an voidstar match. Playing in Republic side. The game started with 4 reps against 8 imps. The 120 sec countdown started. Although we knew we where going to lose, we kept fighting (actually, 1 left, leaving just 3 reps). Two minutes of pain is bearable. Obviously, after 100 seconds, the empire had already capped almost all doors. But its ok, we knew we where not going to win and the match was almost over anyway. In the last 5 seconds, 4 reps joined the battle and the countdown was aborted... My reaction -> http://t.qkme.me/35onan.jpg This is just not fair. I don't mind losing a fair game. I don't mind losing playing with 1 less on my side (endured that many times while the bug that allowed more then 8 players on a wz ops was on). But this situation was ridiculous, to allow the match to continue was really unfair. The match shouldn't have started to begin with!!! This felt really worst because I was tired and just fighting to earn my daily and go to sleep. This is really going to be worse when 1.2 comes out (not the daily part). Because the reward gap between the winner and the loser is bigger (it pains to give free rewards to an unfair fight). You won't be able to rage quit the match without being penalized. You won't be able to just stand up and go to the window scream out your frustration (AFKers kick). You will have to keep playing for the next 8 minutes, knowing you are just giving free rewards to the enemy. And be happy about it. The countdown should be 10 seconds and be done with it! Edit: thanks!

GL being involved clearly shows that, in fact, Darth Maul was the one who shot first.

Darth Maul 'survival' is worst than a weak Arthas killing Illidan. And worst the Illidan survival. Really. This is just poor writing (well, maybe theirs bosses demanded that Darth Maul was 'resurrected' due to his popularity). >_<

... when I play without the option to show the tendency of the answer. http://www.youtube.com/embed/N-6pGuSwwok I tried to make the girl tell her boyfriend that she didn't love him in person (instead of lying), but I was shocked to see my character forcing her to go back to the guy. Urgh.

I would create another topic, but lets concentrate the infos. Can some Dev/Staff answer if there is gonna be any perk for the person who invite friends and their friends buy and subscribe to the game? No need to be like a free month or stuff like that, but at least some social item or a mini-pet when 1.2 comes out.

Patch 1.2 doesn't have an ETA right now (or did I miss something?), so you may gear up while you wait anyway. Besides that, it is usually better to escalate you gearing in PvP, duo to the huge gap between new 50's gear and battlemaster gear. But this gap is reasonably smaller from champion to battlemaster.

When will we see something like Revan's Madalorian mask for the Jedi Knight? Republic chars need some love on cool outfits and this headpiece would be just awesome. Give your suggestion for more cool equips.

The reason people abandon the game at level 50 is directly connected with the difficulty to pug up. There a lot of casual players that didn't got into a guild, and/or doesn't have many friends in game, and/or the guild mates are not 50 yet. Without a really useful tool to pug, the guys has to go through several planets shouting out in general pledging for group. And that sucks. Many of my friends abandoned the game because of that, and I stayed only because I love alts.

On my 50 guardian, what I'm trying to do is throw saber -> LoS -> wait some guy to come -> start fighting using my 27 quickslots with my back to the wall. Almost impossible to do on Hutt Ball. But it is a good strategy on voidstar. On my vanguard, I roll over anyone. The guy is ranged? Pfff. Stick granade, Cryo granade, High Impact Bolt, full auto, 2 more abilites, done. The guy is melee? Stock strike, Stick Granade, throw some lighting, break cast, Ion Pulse, stock again, Ion Pulse, done. The guy is running? Harpoon. Really balanced.

I agree in terms with what he posted. The animation differences gives the empire side some advantages that summed makes a good difference. For instance, Awe is a group cc counterpart of the mentioned one. But Awe doesn't throw you to the ground, so you can come back faster. Other thing I'm testing, and so far I have confirmed, is that it is more ease to come out of Awe stun (need less damage). The Death from Above issues is true (compared many times with my trooper against mercs). The sage one I haven't tested (but I will). The Alderaan issue may look little, but actually it is not. As many battles in middle tends to drive the battle to an even score, I have seen many many situations where the republic looses for less then 30 points of damage. This means that, in those 2-3 months, the Imperial side have gained more valor and commendations, that summing up gives a tangible advantage. But the biggest advantage on my perspective that the Empire has over the Republic, is the Jawa companion. Dang... I wish Republic had a companion as awesome as Blizz. Changing subject a little, I found that " 57% Empire to 42% Republic" statistic kinda weird. For instance, the great majority of guilds in the Summit where Empire. So, it kinda indicates, for me, that the GREAT (as in more then 15% difference) majority of 'active' players are on the Imperial side.

So, it was said that the CE and DE color crystal are going to get some upgrades in the new patch. And I'm wondering if the black-green color crystal that comes with the razer products gonna get an upgrade too. I'm willing to buy the headset, and I really would like to use the black-green crystal (best looking crystal imho) on my lvl 50 characters. Anyone heard anything about this?

Its funny how some people forget how unbalanced (shaman ruled over everyone at anytime), bugged, laggy, crashed and flawed WoW was at launch. Comparing WoW at launch and SWOTR at lauch, WoW looses in everything. Even after several years of WoW, Blizzard sucked at launching the game in Brazil for instance. Lots of lag, servers crashing, huge queues, name stealing (yeah, even that) and a huge lack of community support. Their disorganization was astounding. But as I said before, it doesn't matter if SWTOR is better at launch then WoW was. WoW has raised the bar. There are a lot of new 'basic functionalities' that are mandatory and BioWare overlooked while developing. For instance, there is no offline integration with the game (like WoW armory or the mobile app Rift has now), and the community channels have very little tools (some guild forums have more options then this - like a simple and visible subscribe button). Despite everything though, I'm loving the game.

o/ Guardian goes the same way, or worst. Its kinda silly, you using 15+ skills in every fight, and being out-dpsed by someone spamming a skill. And we're not even talking about survivability yet (try to LoS a Sorc when you are attacked trying to plant the bomb with cd down).

I have to agree. It is as if they just look what WoW is bad (poor immersion, repeated pve leveling content and etc) and forgot to see what they did that was awesome. The lack of a good LFG system, having WoW as example, is hard to swallow. Cross-realm PvP solves so many problems, that is absurd not to expect it nowadays. I understand that thinking 'The game is only 2 months old, give it a break' may make some people 'forget' the bugs, exploits and unbalances (childish as animations! >_<) , but they should have saw that other MMOs have raised the bar. They can't bring a game to the market expecting success if the product is a result of 2 year old standards. If SWTOR was released in 2009-~2010, it would have rocked the foundations of the gaming industry, but today, it is just a good MMO with too many problems to solve. I love the game, I probably will be one of the 500k people some are foreseeing, probably will be one of the 100k if it comes to that, but what I really really wish, is to be one of the 5000k next year playing some Space Combat Operation.

Nothing against humans. But imagine if they release Jawas as playable race! Imagine a Jawa freaking trooper holding a bazooka!! Too much awesomeness to not feel compelled to it.

They could charge for the change. I dunno, I see the legacy system as a 'bonus' for altoholics, but as they are releasing it later, I'm feeling like I'm being punished because I ran alts too fast.

/bump PS: Please warn me if there is a similar post so I can keep up.

Are there any plans to remove the Orbital Stations?
