So there seem to be a lot of changes since I left. I've only been playing for a few minutes but I've noticed that companions no longer receive bonuses from equipment. In what way(s) are they different now, compared to before? Have they been nerfed? Boosted? There also seems to be a new "Tactical" slot for my characters. What is it for? Are they any other major changes I should be aware of?

Just got back into the game, haven't played since the Rakghoul invasion back in the spring of 2012. I understand everything about the Hutt Cartel: the Market, the new currency, etc. However, while there seems to be a decent handful of armor and mounts being sold through the Cartel Market, there are several tons of items being sold by players on the GTN that don't seem to be available on the Market. So my question is, where are these items coming from? Are they drops, mission rewards, sold by certain vendors? Examples are the Thana Vesh adaptive armor set and the Rendili Shadow mount.

The following fixed it for me. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=618396

I must be off my rocker... for a second I thought the OP was being serious.

Yes, so they're essentially paying for the color of the crystal, not necessarily the stats. And if they are mix/maxing, then it just depends on what they need most on their AC. Since we can't really tell what AC's will be more interested in the crystals, it's impossible to safely narrow it down. You can only take a chance and roll with it. And if you're really that worried and want to play it safe, get some of each.

If the history of MMO's is any indicator, all of the crystals (including whites) will be available again later down the road.

Actually I'm going to modify my original list and make "Return of the Ewok" #1.

You forgot Grand Master SS4 Batman in Power Armor.

Lord Kelvin refused to leave Glasgow, remaining Professor of Natural Philosophy for over 50 years, until his eventual retirement from that post.

Just completed the survey. Btw, some of the questions were a little redundant. (Example: Highest level of education...Did you attend college?)

Because he can dodge Omega Beams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y8WqbrhAs4

Making a suggestion, and also trying to understand the logic behind it. I understand that Presence solely affects your companion. So it's good to have, provided you have a companion out so that you can benefit from the stat. However, in a full group you get nothing out of it. It seems to me that, just looking at the word itself, "Presence" should affect anyone around you. If you have a Presence of say 500 points, to me that means you have a high, or Commanding, Presence. So why should that not benefit your teammates as well, especially when your companion isn't with you? I don't care what kind of buff teammates get from Presence. But to me, to have a significant Presence and have your teammates completely unaffected by it seems a little strange.

I understand your criticism, but I honestly don't know what other classes they could have added. Example: Jawa/scrounger class? That might be good and fine, but how would that balance with all of the other classes?

Okay.

Unless you're a stealth-based class and have good crowd control, and as long as you're not fighting a hard champion.

Too bad the Jedi don't have Kyle Katarn in this fight.

True. It's the same when I was working on my UI the other day and got logged before I saved. I was still active, but apparently not by the game's current definition of "active." If I could be logged out and work on my UI, or an in-game email, great! But since there's no option for that, we have to be logged in, and working under a time limit. The only work around is to move your character around every now and then, but you have to keep remembering to do it.

Mine would be: 1) V 2) VI 3) III 4) IV 5) I 6) II

Actually...

Fo' rizzle my nizzle.
