I have good experience with this kind of laptop: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JH/ GTX780M is about a GTX770, CPU is slower than it's desktop counterparts, but it's always like that. The laptop is pretty large because of it's cooling system, I would not settle for anything less thou.

You do actually get the same amount of points, some of them the game slots for your role though, simply because that is what you should slot for that role. So the new system makes it easier for newbies to setup their talents and still allows some flexibility on the side. Nothing is worse than doing an OPS with a tank or healer who got it all wrong. The other part is PvP balance, I guess some hybrid specs where just to OP.

And cap it at lvl 55 for a while or until a new expansion or level cap is incoming.

I feel exactly the same way, the new system is very simple to set points in, and allows some more flexibility without taking away the main skills used for your role.

If you only got 1 hour of gameplay per day, why do you need to rush up in level? On the side of that, I would hate to have 12x exp on the new content (55-60).

This rarely helps on the heavy populated servers atm., plus that some areas only got 1 instance. The current lag issues seems to have another source of the problem too, since several people had lag in low populated areas, did not see a single player state that he/she didn't have the issue..

Quest hubs should have x seconds combat immunity when a player logs in. If it's out in the areas themselves it's a players own problem really, since immunity out there can be misused aka exploited. But the 10 second logout could maybe be increased, can give issues in OPS upon a dc though, and add possibility to add a loading immunity.

It was said 1 or 2 days after it went live, so why did people use a lot of credits on it anyway well knowing that their would be no refunds? I did on some of my chars, cause I couldn't care less, but those who did (you included) should just have waited it out.

Easy to avoid when your a tank that uses AoE taunt and debuff...... Not to mention those in your group that use AoE too.. That is the issue on PvE servers, people get flagged because someone stealths into an opposite factions AoE to get them flagged, where after the rest of the gank squad joins in. Makes one wonder why the heck do these players even play on a PvE server.

No need for a poll, they are already aware of it. The SWTOR team should check the video "Looking for Group" made by Blizzard Entertainment.

•Chests on Rishi and Yavin 4 no longer give too many Credits. Nuf said.

I took my responsibility by getting billed, paying the bill, and afterwards canceling the account. ok? What part of "credit cards gets automatic added to any other game added under your Origin account without any layer of security but a logon password" is hard to understand for you?

Yes, and by doing so the SWTOR subscription is canceled as well. You see, I never added any credit card information to Wrath of Heroes, but since the same account is used to create an account and download the game via EA Origin it gets added automatic it seems. I find it rather a breach in security that it works that way. Someone with access to a SWTOR players email would easy be able to compromise the account that way, not sure if the authenticator even works up against Origin.

The rating is completely unrelated to how billing is handled, it could have been an older person with no English skills playing if that matters. I'm not complaining, I made my choice, question is if anything is done about the poor credit card handling.

No, not after I got billed for a Warhammer Wrath of Heroes in-game purchase which was made by my 6 year old nephew, when I was on the bathroom a few minutes while he was playing that game. I find it absurd that my SWTOR subscription bound credit card was automatic billed by a Free 2 Play game that allows purchases in-game without the slightest security confirmation. If that doesn't change I will never touch anything released by Bioware/EA or any other company that houses their billing under Origin. The unprofessional reply by customer service turned me completely off, which led to immediate subscription cancellation from my side. I wanted to write about this in the last customer experience form, but after seeing that the questions regard other genres and games I didn't even bother to fill in a single field. Does Bioware even care about swtor anymore?

I remember them adding gametime several times from Vanilla to Cataclysm cause of unplanned server downtimes.

On Windows 7 those are stored at: %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings\ Same as: C:\Users\*YourUserAccountName*\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings\

If they would think so everyone would have that free month on their account.

So your saying that people that can't do so because they got a lot of work IRL are worth less than those who can spent more time on the fun?

Good to see some humor in all of this.

Couldn't agree more even if I have more than one level 50 character myself. Rewards like this one should be based on subscription time and not a players character level. That like in a harsh way saying: "We don't care how much you payed, but thank you for having no life."

+1 Exactly! And neither is PvP about 1 vs 1 balance, which is where a lot of forum complainers always fail.

Same reason why some people grief and camp low level players in other games where that is possible. I don't see them classes as OP though, learn to team up and time them interrupts and crowd control skills. I think it is more a matter of getting control of those XX amount of skills available for use. Although, I couldn't care less about top dps/hps, its all about winning the game and not getting the highest frag score.

The DirectX update is the main key, since Windows Update won't do that for you. Not necessary if the application doesn't require administrator rights or the user is logged in as the administrator. Also the shortcut only points to the launcher and not the games executable. Negative, gives a crash if you don't set it for both the launcher as swtor.exe, at least what I have seen on Windows Pro x64. The game runs native DirectX 9 so you wont even need to use any compatibility mode, no benefits gained from it. Try to investigate swtor.exe with CFF Explorer. Sure, if you have some old or very slow card... Else High Quality works just fine, 111 FPS with everything maxed out. Same as above I would never advise automatic anything regarding Nvidia drivers. Go to Nvidia.com and download the newest driver, uninstall the current graphic, physx and 3dvision driver, reboot and install the downloaded package with the Clean Install option checked. There are rare cases where you will need to do a "clean install" In such case, the best is to follow this guide step by step instead of using any magic cleaning utilities: http://www.overclock.net/t/1150443/how-to-remove-your-nvidia-gpu-drivers#post15432476 Again, if the card is very old or just generally slow.

Anyone who played Guild Wars does support an option for solo endgame content. And I guess the same goes for many DDO players. Both a Multiplayer games, but if you like them they can be enjoyed both as group as solo. There are some instance that are pretty hard to solo even there thou, since NPC AI is far from a real player. On the other hand it's a worthy challenge for player trying to do it on her/his own. Most players do group up in both of these games thou, since that ends up with less frustration.
