[Auto-Tuned Voice?]

Some hats change your voice. It's kind of a neat idea, but I find myself specifically only taking helms that don't do that.

[*Still* Cannot Abandon Quests]

I have one quest that:

 

1) I can't abandon

2) Is in an area that I can no longer access

3) Grouping with someone else eligible to access the area still does not let me in

 

 

So... how do I "just go and do" it?

Can't finish, can't abandon.

[Ack, what did you do to Windowed Mode?]

Pre-1.1, I ran SWTOR on the left monitor and could do other things on the right, no problem.

 

Post-patch, every time I click on anything other than SWTOR, SWTOR minimizes, and when I pop it back up, it gives me a brief loading screen. The way it worked before was perfect.

 

What happened? Can this be changed back?

It's Alt +T by default.

[SWTOR Terminology]

Threat - most MMOs have a threat list. Every character (or companion, I guess) generates threat either deliberately, with threat-generating abilities, or incidentally by doing damage and healing. If a DPS or healer generates too much threat, he may get aggro. My Operative has a threat-reducing ability -- other classes probably do, too. It is your job to manage your threat so that mobs are always attacking the tank. If you're the tank, you need to be doing your best to generate threat so the mobs don't go after DPS and heals. Big damage ability or huge heals tend to generate a lot of threat, so it's best to save them for a few seconds into the fight until the tank can build a threat lead and you won't pull the mob off of him.

[Bug list]

• When grouped with other players, but out of range, if you open a chest you are forced to roll need or greed for the loot. The other players cannot roll, and you cannot get the loot without disbanding from the group and re-opening the chest.
  
• The default behavior of "r" when responding to tells is wonky. 90% of the time, it's fine, but every once in a while it will fail, and if you don't notice, your response gets dumped into general chat. Seems to mostly happen when your respondee is on another planet.
  
• F1 F2 F3 F4 keys - In most games, you are F1, the first person in the group in the list on the left is F2, the next person is F3, etc. I always group with the same two people, M and E. If I am just grouped with M, he's F2 as expected. However, when I group with M and E, M is always at the top of the list on the left, regardless of who started the group invites, but he is ALWAYS F3 and E is ALWAYS F2, even though that is not their order on the group UI.
  
• When running with two monitors in windowed mode, if you click away and work in the second monitor, then click back into TOR, there's an icon attached to your cursor, usually a spell dragged off your quickbar that you have to carefully replace, or an item from your inventory that you now have to be careful not to delete.
  
• When dragging and dropping items in inventory and bank and between character panes, the item "sticks" to the cursor after you've dropped it, and left-click to try and clear the icon attempts to delete the item.
  

[Separate accounts for my husband and I?]

I have no idea what you just said, but thank you and come again.

 

Ok, a simpler clarification, I hope (Sorry, OP, for the minor tangent... and for picking on your casual subject header.)

 

When deciding which pronoun to use, as in this case, "Separate accounts for my husband and I?", many people get confused when there's an "and". The easiest way to tell if you're using the correct pronoun is to mentally delete the other noun. In this case, that would be, "Separate account for I?". This should sound wrong to most English speakers, because "me" is correct.

 

I am not usually a grammar nazi, since discussing grammar on the intarwebz is a lost cause, but this tip does sometimes help people.

[Separate accounts for my husband and I?]

Don't know the answer but +1 for grammatical correctness, can't remember the last time i saw a sentence end in '...and I'.

 

/random thoughts.

 

Er... except that it's incorrect. Since the pronoun is the object of the preposition "for", it should be the object pronoun "me". Essentially, since she used the subject pronoun "I", she wrote "Separate accounts for we?" instead of "Separate accounts for us?".
