A game is an inanimate object. If you respect a game, you need to reassess your priorities.

Do you always log out in the exact same spot? If you log out in a cantina and him outside, you would have rested XP the next time you log in.

5/10 Average in pretty much every way imaginable. Maybe 5.5 for smooth launch - except that's history and isn't important in the long term. I'll stick with 5.

There is a mission on Tatooine to collect womp rat skulls. You turn in the mission to a drop box and get no cutscene and no completion text other than a choice of rewards. How is that "integrated into the story"? Even when it's "integrated" into the story, that "integration" tends to be nothing more than a speed bump - an obstacle you need to pass to proceed. Oh, wait, so I'm not in the same chain of command as this stupid sith chick and I have no reason to help you guys or to even care if she's better at killing "thing X" than I am, but I get these clever "integrated" mission goals to beat her at the killing race. Now, why I'm suddenly in competition with this person I've never seen before and why I would give a damn if she wins, I don't know. But it sure is "integrated".

Dingdingding! We have a winner! The only thing the OP said that is true is that the launch was smooth.

An easy "mistake" to make, as the quintessential example given is Skywalker, the default display is as a surname, and there is no other mechanism to display a surname. See, there is already a common name for that in gaming - it's usually called a "global name". And as a global name, the legacy system fails miserably. Not only does it do nothing a global name should do, they can't even add the functionality without changing the legacy name completely.

OK, it doesn't alleviate any problems of not having it while creating new problems to-mA-to to-Mah-to Power is only meaningful in a relative sense.

This is a perfect example of why the single player story stuck into a MMO doesn't work as well as people want it to. They try to work around it, but I find it funny that if I am given an option to kill someone ina a non-flash point, even if I don't do it, I still know I will never see that person again. They couldn't be bothered to write two stories that branch even in the slightest, so if it's possible for anyone to kill the guy, he needs to be pseudo dead for everyone.

I like it as much as I like any new MMO in the first month. BioWare should just be capable of something better than "sort of average".

Cyber also makes orange parts all of which are usable by 30, so gt those and upgrade with commendations.

That's the part you seem to be missing and that I was trying to explain in the metaphor you so deftly avoided understanding. Every new game that is made does not need to follow a process by which it starts in the same, unformed state and slowly adds the same features in the same order. The way the Legacy name works now isn't an accident. It isn't a case of them just not being done (although that is part of it). The problem is that it was designed from the beginning to work in a certain way, and that way is stupid. The question then becomes - why did they intentionally repeat the mistakes of others in the past (in addition to all the extra mistakes they created new to pile on top). Don't start at the same miserable state the competition was at and duplicate all their work. Start from the best present examples and evolve from there.

Fun fact - The first production car came out in 1885. Unleaded gasoline did not come out until 1975. Therefore, I should expect modern cars to not use unleaded at first. Brilliant logic.

I finished Tatooine at 24, so trust me, I know your pain.

#1 given the number of servers, less that 1 half of 1% of people reading this can trade with you. The suggestion for you to ask on your server is to improve your chances of speaking to someone who may be able to help you. #2 no one can help you. The outfit is bind on pick up. You buy it, you keep it - no trading.

I swear, it's like you're reading my mind. Crazy that for a system stated to have the purpose of encouraging alts, it has the opposite effect.

Princess Leia Organa was a founding member of the New Republic, which was formally promulgated in 5 ABY. Her first New Republic position was Minister of State, which she served as during the taking of Coruscant by the New Republic. Also, she served as Councilor during the Thrawn crisis. She went on to succeed Mon Mothma as its Chief of State, and later filled other offices, such as Minister of Defense, and various diplomatic posts. Although most of her life was devoted to such matters of state, she engaged in limited study of the Jedi arts, with her twin brother Luke Skywalker as her teacher. Notably, she wielded a blue lightsaber that she built herself, and then Luke gave her a ruby-red lightsaber to complement the weapon she had constructed earlier. Because of her duties as leader of the New Republic, Leia became more of Jedi Consular than a Jedi Guardian.

Maybe for rare crafting mats that are cheaper to buy than to run missions for?

Of course not. They are entirely too low.

That does nothing.

Nope.

Only if your character is a ****. Think of it like quantum mechanics - until your character pursues a relationship, none of the NPCs have an sexuality at all.

Why would you get additional rewards? I thought the purpose was to test yourself in a riskier environment.

Yes, because many of them seem to dumb to realize you aren't allowed to make threads discussing other players and keep making soon to be deleted threads like this one.

It requires the same "effort" as sending out companions to craft or gather resources. The cost is an opportunity cost that they cannot be doing something else. The whole point of crew doing missions is to take some of the drudgery out of crafting and make it more interesting to more than a small number of fringe players, and they want to take that away from slicing.

When level 49 purple augments don't move for less than the mission to get them costs, then yes, they are useless.
