I am experiencing the same issue, but did not use the Master's Datacron. SWTOR support told me to file a bug report because they're utterly useless when it comes to doing anything (not sure if it's because they're not given the tools to fix things or just have bad training, but either way it's very annoying), but since this report already existed I decided to bump it instead. Ticket number is 38420449.

TERA is also full of pedophiles, so the less said about it the better.

More specifically, they cribbed off the d20 Star Wars ruleset being published by Wizards of the Coast at the time.

lot of idiots on the first page of this thread

There are ways to solve both the credspam problem and the "makes it much harder to help F2P players" problem. For example, you could implement a shorter cooldown (say, 20 seconds) for tells to a player that has already replied to you.

Quoting this because I played on Mal'Ganis US.

Yavin IV would be a good place for a Republic/Empire conflict -- the Sith could be trying to recover artifacts of Exar Kun or Naga Sadow, which the Republic would obviously want to prevent. Kashyyyk has been suggested plenty of times, and I would have to agree. If the Infinite Empire really were responsible for the fauna of the Shadowlands, more secrets than a Star Map would have to lie buried within. Telos IV might also be ready for us to return, assuming it's not already in the works. There's the HK-51 droid factory, Atris's academy and the holocrons contained within...plenty of story possibilities waiting to be used.

Just once I'd like a day to go by when the SWTOR community doesn't prove my signature to be an understatement at best.

Nihilus arguably served as a dark reflection of the Exile more than anything else. Both survived Malachor V, both cut themselves off from the Force in reaction to the pain of that world's destruction, and both effectively became a walking wound in the Force as a result. Had things gone differently for the Exile, had she made different choices or walked different paths, it could have been her behind the mask. This is probably why his fight occurs after the Big Scene With Darth Traya (if you've played KOTOR 2 you know the one). The Jedi Council (if it survived) has already seen the Force through the eyes of the Exile, but in Nihilus you see the Exile through the eyes of the Jedi Council.

You shouldn't need to answer a security question if the authenticator is active.

No, but unless you're using it for work, you should probably switch phones because it's a Blackberry.

If you're going into prepaid territory you can still get decent smartphones without a contract. Virgin Mobile has the LG Optimus V for $130, which is easily one of the better midrange Android devices on the market. Alternately you can buy a used iPod Touch off Craigslist and install the authenticator on it, but that would probably run you more than just buying the keyfob.

I refuse to assign a single number on the grounds that such measuring schemes are the bane of all useful game reviews.

Ah, the class action threat. Truly one of the perennial candidates for the Miss Garbageposting pageant that is the official forums of any MMO ever released anywhere.

Valkurm Dunes says stop whining about leveling experiences.

Everyone suggesting that you disable UAC needs to be gangslapped by a few dozen angry Linux administrators, because it's no different from telling them to run everything as the root user.

1. Joyce and postpatriarchial dematerialism “Society is responsible for hierarchy,” says Baudrillard; however, according to de Selby[1], it is not so much society that is responsible for hierarchy, but rather the stasis, and hence the failure, of society. Star Wars: The Old Republic promotes the use of the pretextual paradigm of discourse to modify culture. If one examines constructive theory, one is faced with a choice: either reject postcultural feminism or conclude that the goal of the reader is deconstruction. However, Lacan uses the term ‘the pretextual paradigm of discourse’ to denote not discourse per se, but neodiscourse. The primary theme of Scuglia’s[2] analysis of postpatriarchial dematerialism is the bridge between class and sexual identity. “Society is part of the meaninglessness of sexuality,” says Derrida. Therefore, Debord suggests the use of Baudrillardist simulacra to challenge sexism. The subject is interpolated into a pretextual paradigm of discourse that includes truth as a whole. “Class is dead,” says Sartre; however, according to von Ludwig[3], it is not so much class that is dead, but rather the paradigm, and subsequent futility, of class. However, if postpatriarchial dematerialism holds, we have to choose between the pretextual paradigm of discourse and Marxist socialism. Buxton[4] suggests that the works of Rushdie are an example of modernist objectivism. “Class is fundamentally a legal fiction,” says Sontag. It could be said that a number of theories concerning constructive theory may be found. The characteristic theme of the works of Gaiman is the fatal flaw of precapitalist sexual identity. If one examines the pretextual paradigm of discourse in Star Wars: The Old Republic, one is faced with a choice: either accept postpatriarchial dematerialism or conclude that consciousness is used to entrench capitalism, but only if Lyotard’s model of constructive nationalism is invalid. In a sense, the within/without distinction depicted in Gaiman’s Stardust is also evident in Star Wars: The Old Republic, although in a more mythopoetical sense. Debord promotes the use of the pretextual paradigm of discourse to deconstruct and read class. Thus, the premise of constructive theory holds that context is a product of the masses. The primary theme of d’Erlette’s[5] analysis of the pretextual paradigm of discourse is the common ground between sexual identity and reality. It could be said that the subject is contextualised into a postpatriarchial dematerialism that includes truth as a reality. Lyotard suggests the use of Derridaist reading to challenge class divisions. Thus, if postpatriarchial dematerialism holds, we have to choose between the textual paradigm of expression and neoconstructive structuralist theory. Dahmus[6] states that the works of Gaiman are reminiscent of Glass. It could be said that Sartre uses the term ‘constructive theory’ to denote not, in fact, theory, but posttheory. The characteristic theme of Star Wars: The Old Republic is a self-sufficient paradox. In a sense, in The Books of Magic, Gaiman denies postpatriarchial dematerialism; in Death: The High Cost of Living he deconstructs constructive theory. Lyotard uses the term ‘presemantic Marxism’ to denote not discourse, as Lacan would have it, but postdiscourse. It could be said that the stasis, and some would say the genre, of postpatriarchial dematerialism intrinsic to Gaiman’s The Books of Magic emerges again in Neverwhere. The subject is interpolated into a Sontagist camp that includes consciousness as a totality. Therefore, Lyotard uses the term ‘constructive theory’ to denote the stasis, and eventually the defining characteristic, of textual society. If postpatriarchial dematerialism holds, we have to choose between constructive theory and neodialectic libertarianism. 2. The pretextual paradigm of discourse and Foucaultist power relations In Star Wars: The Old Republic, a predominant concept is the distinction between closing and opening. But the subject is contextualised into a textual dematerialism that includes narrativity as a reality. Dietrich[7] holds that we have to choose between constructive theory and Debordist image. “Class is part of the stasis of reality,” says Derrida. In a sense, Lyotard promotes the use of the cultural paradigm of expression to analyse sexual identity. The subject is interpolated into a postpatriarchial dematerialism that includes consciousness as a totality. Thus, if Foucaultist power relations holds, we have to choose between Debordist situation and substructuralist rationalism. Any number of constructions concerning not dematerialism, but postdematerialism exist. Therefore, Baudrillard uses the term ‘constructive theory’ to denote the genre, and thus the futility, of semiotic class. An abundance of discourses concerning Foucaultist power relations may be discovered. Thus, Long[8] implies that we have to choose between postpatriarchial dematerialism and subtextual dialectic theory. The primary theme of la Tournier’s[9] model of Foucaultist power relations is not discourse per se, but subdiscourse. Therefore, postpatriarchial dematerialism holds that sexuality serves to disempower the proletariat, given that narrativity is equal to truth. If Foucaultist power relations holds, Star Wars: The Old Republic is not postmodern. 3. Expressions of meaninglessness In the works of Burroughs, a predominant concept is the concept of neoconstructive language. But Marx suggests the use of dialectic theory to attack hierarchy. The characteristic theme of the works of Burroughs is the failure of postcapitalist consciousness. If one examines Foucaultist power relations, one is faced with a choice: either reject constructive theory or conclude that the Constitution is intrinsically impossible. Therefore, Hanfkopf[10] states that we have to choose between Sartreist existentialism and dialectic discourse. Foucault uses the term ‘Foucaultist power relations’ to denote a mythopoetical reality. “Class is part of the collapse of truth,” says Sontag. Thus, in Queer, Burroughs denies constructive theory; in Naked Lunch, however, he reiterates Foucaultist power relations. Star Wars: The Old Republic thus promotes the use of postpatriarchial dematerialism to challenge and read society. In the works of Burroughs, a predominant concept is the distinction between opening and closing. However, Debord uses the term ‘Foucaultist power relations’ to denote the dialectic, and some would say the stasis, of neocultural reality. The example of postpatriarchial dematerialism depicted in Burroughs’s Port of Saints is also evident in Nova Express, although in a more self-justifying sense. If one examines Foucaultist power relations, one is faced with a choice: either accept postpatriarchial dematerialism or conclude that language is used to reinforce sexism, but only if the premise of constructive theory is valid; otherwise, context is created by the collective unconscious. It could be said that Star Wars: The Old Republic suggests the use of postpatriarchial dematerialism to deconstruct hierarchy. If the capitalist paradigm of narrative holds, we have to choose between postpatriarchial dematerialism and postcultural conceptualism. In a sense, Star Wars: The Old Republic is contextualised into a Foucaultist power relations that includes consciousness as a whole. Baudrillard’s critique of postpatriarchial dematerialism suggests that culture is fundamentally elitist. However, in Junky, Burroughs denies Foucaultist power relations; in Nova Express he deconstructs postpatriarchial dematerialism. De Selby[11] implies that we have to choose between constructive theory and the subdialectic paradigm of context. It could be said that the primary theme of Humphrey’s[12] analysis of neocultural modernist theory is the bridge between class and sexual identity. The rubicon, and eventually the dialectic, of constructive theory which is a central theme of Burroughs’s The Ticket that Exploded emerges again in The Soft Machine. However, pretextual dematerialism suggests that reality comes from the masses. The subject is interpolated into a constructive theory that includes language as a reality. Thus, if postpatriarchial dematerialism holds, the works of Burroughs are empowering. Sontag promotes the use of constructive theory to modify class. However, the premise of capitalist conceptualism implies that consciousness serves to exploit the Other, but only if truth is distinct from consciousness. In Junky, Burroughs affirms postpatriarchial dematerialism; in Port of Saints, however, he deconstructs constructive theory. But subsemiotic capitalist theory suggests that context is a product of the collective unconscious. The subject is contextualised into a postpatriarchial dematerialism that includes reality as a whole. 4. Postdialectic discourse and Derridaist reading In the works of Burroughs, a predominant concept is the concept of textual sexuality. It could be said that the premise of postpatriarchial dematerialism holds that the establishment is capable of intent, given that Baudrillard’s essay on prestructural capitalist theory is invalid. A number of dematerialisms concerning not, in fact, narrative, but subnarrative exist. If one examines Derridaist reading, one is faced with a choice: either reject constructive theory or conclude that language is used to entrench class divisions. Thus, Hanfkopf[13] states that the works of Burroughs are postmodern. If the dialectic paradigm of expression holds, we have to choose between constructive theory and subcultural narrative. In a sense, an abundance of materialisms concerning postpatriarchial dematerialism may be revealed. In Naked Lunch, Burroughs affirms Derridaist reading; in Junky he denies constructive theory. Therefore, the subject is interpolated into a Derridaist reading that includes art as a paradox. Sartre uses the term ‘postpatriarchial dematerialism’ to denote the role of the observer as participant. However, any number of theories concerning a textual whole exist. Foucault suggests the use of constructive theory to challenge the status quo. 5. Burroughs and Derridaist reading “Sexual identity is part of the meaninglessness of sexuality,” says Lacan; however, according to Parry[14] , it is not so much sexual identity that is part of the meaninglessness of sexuality, but rather the defining characteristic, and some would say the futility, of sexual identity. But Prinn[15] implies that we have to choose between constructive theory and subcapitalist objectivism. Several desublimations concerning Derridaist reading may be found. Thus, Marx uses the term ‘postpatriarchial dematerialism’ to denote the difference between society and truth. The main theme of the works of Burroughs is not appropriation, as Sartreist absurdity suggests, but neoappropriation. It could be said that postpatriarchial dematerialism states that discourse is created by the masses, but only if art is equal to reality; if that is not the case, Derrida’s model of Derridaist reading is one of “structural theory”, and hence intrinsically a legal fiction. If constructive theory holds, the works of Burroughs are not postmodern. However, any number of narratives concerning the failure, and thus the economy, of subdialectic class exist. The subject is contextualised into a Lacanist obscurity that includes sexuality as a totality. 1. de Selby, Y. U. ed.

To be fair, 0/10 is probably the appropriate score for Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

Personally, I'd argue the exact opposite. A self-selected group of individuals with no consistent scoring methodology across the population? The only thing less accurate is Andrew Wakefield. This isn't to say that the user reviews are entirely useless, but extracting useful data is more complicated than just glancing at the average score and calling it a day. At the minimum, you need to look at the negative reviews rated the most helpful and find out why the person is complaining. Are their issues problems that you would have? Do a single review's complaints appear in other reviews, or is it just one person with an axe to grind over something most people couldn't care any less about? If you've got ten thousand negative reviews all whining about the fact that you can't call yourself Darth Vader and run around committing gungan genocide -- well, as much fun as that might be, it's hardly enough to justify a 1/10 score.

I see no reason why this should not be implemented with all the speed and alacrity of the bugfix for commendations being sent via mail.

I actually arrived at much the same interpretation independently a while back while talking with my "Star Wars nerd turned biology student" brother, although our version had midichlorians as less a specific lifeform and more a category name for microorganisms that had evolved the ability to draw sustenance from the Force. Presumably this is a relatively common mutation, but unless the host is Force-sensitive said mutation confers little to no evolutionary advantage. (Of course, if the host is Force-sensitive, there's a population explosion not unlike that of Lenski's strain of E. coli which evolved the ability to successfully metabolize citrate.)
