That was my problem, thanks! I assumed the weapon you'd get with comms at the pvp vendor would be appropriate, but I guess not!

Quick question,.. does this ability work in PVP? I play mostly PVE and I've got charged bolts in my assault rotation. I thought I could just jump into a warzone and use the same abilities, but charged bolts is always greyed out. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong or if I need to spec a different skill tree layout for pvp. I don't see much about commando pvp, any links would be appreciated.

Ya, I thought the Cliffside rooms would actually have a view of the cliffs. I was disappointed with the extra rooms on Tat, but there's so much room already in that stronghold it would be hard to fill it up

I can also confirm that you can see deco that you have placed already in the cutscene. I thought it was pretty cool and I'd like to see the cutscene every time too.. its easy enough to spacebar past it if you don't want to see it.

Ya the datacron tables are awesome. I think you get 10 for light and dark, so that should be enough datacrons for most

I've been hoarding a lot of my cartel coins for a while and now that strongholds will be coming out, I'm trying to decide what to spend my CC on. A hypercrate, room unlocks, a bunch of random stuff.. What do you think is the best bang for the buck so to speak?

Ya I was thinking a Galactic Strongholds forum would be nice to have too (incluing the guild flagship stuff and conquests). I'm also really excited for this too.. its going add a lot of stuff to the game. I always loved housing in other games and this looks great

Do you work for Bioware lol? These are great. Saved a few for backgrounds for my desktop. Thanks man

Agreed, I think this would be nice to have. +1

I wasn't a huge fan of the trailer,.. too much of a teaser! I'm really looking forward to this,.. it all looks like a lot of fun.

Looking forward to this! Good read..

Ah ok thanks that explains it!

I just noticed that x2 thing next to the ships.. I guess the double-bonus requisition was only being applied to certain ships? Had I known, I would've played this a bit more strategically.. I basically was trying to get more req for my bomber and gunship but those didn't have any bonus? Ouch (unless I'm not understanding it right). Also, it sure seems slow to upgrade a ship, but I guess that's par for the course with MMO's Anyways, I've enjoyed doing some GSF lately when I haven't before, I hope they do more GSF bonuses it gives me more incentive to play though pops for games were still a little on the slow side Its a fun game!

I'm a bit disappointed by the looks of this too. I was hoping for a slot machine interface of some sort or some different types of games. Looks pretty boring, but I guess its better than nothing.

Actually, in SWG they had an 'appearance tab' later on and you could do exactly this. I like the idea, but at the same time SWTOR needs credit sinks and this is a perfect credit sink.

I've noticed a really fast pop for pvp myself. But when pops are low, I just queue for a few things at once and do something else. My only gripe is I've done about 10 warzones and still haven't got the new warzone to pop!

Thanks for the tip!

I've definitely always wanted player housing, so I'm excited about this. It gives you a place to put stuff (assuming you can put things in a house in this game). I played swg too and it was interesting to see other people's houses, but it wasn't something I did for fun very often. However, I had some fun decorating a place of my own. The only reason I would go to other players houses was to go to their vendors to buy stuff, but with the GTN, that isn't needed in this game. No one will go to other people's houses for the fun of it, so I think instanced housing would be fine and being able to invite people to your house would be great. You need a reason for people to use and go to housing. Whatever method is chosen should be done with purpose. My $0.02

Ya, they definitely made that mistake. Why'd they have to make it so darn addictive and fun.. I agree though with others that the sensitivity of the controls is a bit high. I have 2 monitors and sometimes I end up off the screen and out of combat cause I've moved the mouse into my second monitor.

Get the app for that. I use a windows phone so they don't have an app for that (maybe they will one day??), but the iPhone has one and I happen to have an old one of those which I use exclusively for this. Its free that way too..

I want to know (like a few other people so far) if you can use a joystick or if it will be a mouse/keyboard control system. I'm excited for this either way

Sort of what I was expecting. Would prefer a completely open-space environment like swg, but then again, pvp zones will have a lot more action. Looking forward to this

This looks really good! I really like the look of the GTN updates and looking forward to the new PVP arena's as soon as this update downloads... Nice to see more daily's and another Op and,.. lots of stuff

Ya its a cool idea and I really love open-world PVP when it works, but that is really hard to accomplish. On the first day, you have to expect that things are going to be a bit chaotic though. Nevertheless, it'd be good if there wasn't a full 10-40 people waiting for you when you're trying to complete a PVP quest. I tried it with 4 guild members and we got slaughtered a couple times and then realized we'd just have to wait for another day. Overall though, I love open-world PVP. When you don't have enough people to take on the opponents, you talk to your friend and get the numbers needed to defeat the other guys, but its not always that easy... especially on day one. Just my 2 cents...

I love this game, but I just want to point out that it is very difficult to get a good look at your characters appearance - couldn't they make this a little bit easier? I mean sure they have character screen and even a "preview" screen which is mediocre. But if you really want to take a look at your characters' new outfit, you're limited to about 1/8th the screen worth of a view which is pathetic IMO. Anyways, I'd love to see this screen 'expaned' or zoomed in one day..
