Perhaps, but still worth pointing out that there are other MMOs in the market and most of them 'don't' do maintenance three times a week in western Pacific primetime.

Something else that would keep raiders happy. A cosmetic option that shows the sun shining out of their butt.

While the sensor unit upgrades for C2-N2 or 2V-R8 are very useful, the selection seems quite limited with only the Cybertech, Synthweaving and Armstech ones worth the 100k credits price tag. Perhaps more could be added to include all and include a legacy requirement. At legacy 10 Archaeology (+10 efficieny) Treasure Hunting (+2 critical) Bioanalysis (+10 efficieny) Diplomacy (+2 critical) Scavenging (+10 efficieny) Underworld Trading (+2 critical) Slicing (+10 efficieny) Investigation (+2 critical) At legacy 20 Armortech (+5 critical) Scavenging (+5 efficieny) Armstech (+5 critical) Scavenging (+5 efficieny) Artifice (+5 critical) Archaeology (+5 efficieny) Biochem (+5 critical) Bioanalysis (+5 efficieny) Cybertech (+5 critical) Scavenging (+5 efficieny) Synthweaving (+5 critical) Archaeology (+5 efficieny) In this way, you can cater to all crafting and mission skills as well as providing a goal for player's legacy.

I can tell you've never played a non-human imperial character. About 3 to 4 times 'per planet' will some NPC will make a comment about "alien scum". Other wise, these seems like an interesting idea.

It's like dealing with a child. 1st death - You failed 2nd death - You failed again 3rd death - Yet again you failed, Lie there for 10 minutes and think about why you're failing. Children get a timeout for bad behavior and players get one for bad playing.

Naughty sages!!

Originates from a Japanese emoticon using single byte characters (p.q) which evolved into QQ. http://www.japaneseemoticons.net/sad-or-crying-emoticons/

I remember when Blizzard added dual-spec to WoW. There were similar kinds of threads and posts then as well. The original purpose then was quality of life for healers and tanks for dailies and general farming/grinding. But that is unneeded in this game since those two specs are more viable for solo'ing. If anything DPS characters need a quality of life boost.

Can threat still be generated on a stunned mob?

You can change the stance of healer and tank companions to low heal/threat and high dps and disable tank companion's taunts.

No, no, no and no. All you get with cross-server LFG is cretins, baddies and ninjas. Server transfers and consolidating the population is of far greater priority.

What doesn't help is imperial version of mirrored items look way better. A good example is the empire and republic pilot outfits. Empire is well drawn texture of blues and blacks. Republic is a bland and ugly orange. Another is consular and inquisitor gear. Another is the fleet station, imperial is bright, colourful and tasteful, republic is bland, brown and ugly. In fact, you can sum up either faction in a single word; Imperial - colourful, republic - brown.

Since I will soon have enough Rakghoul dna for a black-green crystal, what would be the best long-term option for a shadow tank, +power or +endurance?

This is true. Pre-MoM LotRO minstrels own that title and they were designed that way.

Coming from an AEST player - Welcome to our world.

Anyone noticed how 1.2 added a buzzing sound to drawn lightsabres? Of course I realise this thread is pointless as 'those people' will post saying they like it. I sort of wonder is this was added to push people away from force user classes once the sound became too annoying?

Healing contributing DPS success. Lies and blasphemy!!!

This is true. You get four trainable recipes which are green quality and they function the same as orange quality items (fully modable).

Thing is, about 75% of consular and inquisitor robes are hooded and all of them look like crap on a twi'lek. So, a conditional to a previous suggestion - make a female consular, but not a female twi'lek one.

Yup, Dromond Kaas is much greener than Coruscant. At times it's a bit too green though.

Companion affection is a range between 0 and 10000. In case it wasn't obvious, zero minus any number with a lower limit of zero equals zero.

I regularly hear these two lines close together. "Did i mention that I´m a pacifist?" Then in an excited childlike voice when he gets the killing blow. "Did you see that Holiday?!?"
