You can no longer move that windows by using the title bar it seems, click inside the windows where there are no letters hold like you would for the title bar and move the window that way, it works for me. Hope that helps.

Auto targeting my companion (New level Character)

Not game breaking but definitely very annoying and really useless. -
Artifact Gear Restriction Affecting Oranges and Green Mods
skepticck replied to Ronohsid's topic in Bug Reports
I posted about this in the EA Answers HQ forums a few days ago since as preferred i didn't have access to these forums: http://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-The-Old-Republic/Green-barrels-hilts-from-comm-vendors-still-require-artifact/m-p/4907128#U4907128 It's been this way since 4.0, there are other posts there about this issue but they seem to be getting ignored or considered low priority since it only affects preferred and f2p and not subs. -

Scheduled Maintenance: 21-22 July 2015
skepticck replied to TaitWatson's topic in General Discussion
This, while it is disappointing for sure, i was looking forward to creating a Togruta, i understand that sh#t happens and better delay it a bit than breaking (more) of the game. That said, as long as it is a BRIEF delay and Togruta is still included as it is the only part of the patch of any interest (to me). -

benefit for subscribing sure and they have to make money somewhere perfectly normal they are a business after all, but "hide head slot" "unify colors" seriously (and that's just 2 examples) , that's just milking it to the extreme. you want to make money, np just do what other ftp games do so well, add great cosmetic items, mounts, great weapon skins, pets etc... you make cool things available and people will want and will buy them, not this nikel and dime BS.

I've played this game for 7 months and i was looking forward to be back for a bit but seriously this ftp is ridiculous lol you have to pay for "Hide head slot" for "Unify colors", skill bars, crew skills etc... etc... etc... for pretty much everything, for example just unlocking the hide head slot and unify colors options for all account will cost you 2 x 775 cc that's around 17$ to unlock 2 things that have no reason to be locked in the first place. they are really milking this ftp stuff, even the free cartel coins that you were supposed to get as rewards for being a previous subscriber now you have to buy another subscription to get those. I don't mind paying for cosmetic stuff, boosts whatever but this milking stuff, this nikel and dime crap, thanks but no thanks. Not really a surprise tough, that's EA for you.

It really depends on the F2P model, yes some are very restrictive but some are also very permissive, so to take 1 example and say F2P is bad based on that one example is really short sighted . There are many models of F2P, as many as there are F2P MMOs actually since each one pretty much follows their own, so it would all depend on what EA/Bioware would choose for theirs. It could be very good but it could also be very bad but to say ALL F2P is bad is simply a lie.
-
I don't agree with all those that go all doom and gloom when someone talks about f2p but to each his own i guess. I played many f2p MMOs and still do and see no problem with them, i spend money if i want on what i want but i don't have to and besides it gives me more choices, i play DCUO, Aion, still play Lotro sometimes and even STrek online on occasion, so if they were p2p i wouldn't be able to play them at all because i'm not rich and 1 subscription is all i can afford at one time. So f2p for me represents more choice and only spending my money IF and WHEN i want to.

Good story lines (most of them), excellent voice acting, good PVE with no grinding and very fun and easy leveling process, interesting companions, very easy to solo pretty much anything (could be seen as a good or bad thing), good crafting system, fun combat, nice character and combat animations (most of them), nice graphics and its Starwars.

I have to say that for a so much hyped feature Group finder in it's current state is very basic: For example, i'm lvl 15 in Dromund Kaas, i can't queue for specific heroics, i can only queue for the whole planet. when you get on a planet maybe you don't want to do the harder heroics first, maybe you want to get some gear, like this there is no choice for what heroics you queue, seems very restrictive without reason. same for instances, as a lvl 15 i can only queue for Hammer Station, i understand not being able to queue for higher lvl instances sure, but why can't i queue for BT, 10 to 12 for BT queue seems ridiculously restrictive, many people run BT at 13, 14, 15 or higher, i know you can solo it easily at 15 or even lower but want a group for social points and besides at lvl 15 the other lower lvls in the group still get full xp (i think). So this Group Finder tool seems to me to be an incomplete, very basic, very restrictive and half a**ed but much hyped feature.

Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
This is so true, and it's not just server transfers its almost every feature, everything seems so complicated in these devs world, every feature is hyped like its the second coming of the messiah, just take for example the group finder, 1.3, a major patch and what is most hyped ? group finder, a feature that is available in pretty much every other MMO out there, even in low budget f2p ones but they make it like its this huge thing, so complicated to create and to make work. -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
you forgot to add "yet" to the end of that sentence. servers will be shut down, you think that after these "transfers" EA will be keeping all those empty or mostly empty servers running. So yes this is essentially a merge with a different name and an illusion of choice. Real "transfers" will come later as a paid service. Calling a dog a cat, doesn't make it so. -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
Pretty much this, and yes it will happen later but you will have to pay for it. Why give something that actually works, is well thought out and is fully featured for free when you can give a limited version now and charge for additional features later. yes call me cynic or QQer, still ... -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
So why not just merge servers, then they could control faction and population balance without giving us the "Illusion" of choice that actually doesn't exists, you have NO choice at all, change to the server they choose or stay on a dead server that will close in the future anyway since it will be empty. -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
i have 2 questions about these transfers: 1- i have 4 chars in a legacy on server A, are all of them transferred in one transfer or do i have to transfer them individually ? 2- Are the free transfers a one time deal for each char ? what i mean is if i transfer from server A to server B and i find out that even after this server B is still underpopulated, can i transfer again or will have to wait for paid transfers ? This for me makes it like a gamble, will i transfer to server B in the hopes that once transfers are done it will have a good population or do i stay on my origin server and hope that a more populated destination server will come later. My origin server is very underpopulated at the moment so i can only imagine it will be a ghost-town once transfers are complete, so why would i stay, they give you the option to not transfer to the destination server but it is not an option at all, you have to transfer or else you will be playing on an even emptier server. I can't help to think that this is a very bad way to do this. -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
pretty much what i was thinking, this is just merging servers without actually using the words "server merges" that apparently are taboo for BW/EA or we could call it "a complicated way to do a simple thing" . -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
So if i understand this correctly, each origin server can only transfer to ONE pre-selected destination server, so you can't really select where you want to transfer, the destination server is already pre-selected depending on your origin server. Am i right about this or am i understanding it wrong ? -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
skepticck replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
I still think (imho) that server merges or the supposedly "super servers" mentioned earlier would be a lot better, But this COULD still be good news but there is so much potential for screw-ups that i think we should wait and see how it is implemented before we rejoice or we cry. -
Well said, couldn't agree more.
