Based! Some people try so hard to be offended...

Every time I try to log in on the launcher, I get an error message saying that the login service is currently unavailable. According to the website, the servers are all up. What's going on?

The listings are just there for those who enjoy decorating to show off their work. And they can give others some good ideas, too.

Swing and a miss with 7.0. Part of me hopes they'll fix some stuff in the 7.x, but the sane part of me knows better. I still like the older content, so I'll play that until they turn the servers off. Oh well. We had a good run.

How about listening when Lana says to go out into the middle of nowhere and commune with the demon demigod in your head...

Roleplayers do exactly that, they use their characters in game to tell stories. Not my style, but if you like that kind of thing, go for it. I'd say yes to joining a guild, but I wouldn't go for a conquest guild, since they'll kick you for inactivity. If you're on Starforge, look for Pulled Porkins (pub) or Clowns of the Empire (Imp). We do raids and rampages but don't really care if you make conquest. It's a small guild, but we make enough points to get the large planet rewards every week, which is good enough for us. Word of warning, though. If you're easily offended, don't bother. We're not for snowflakes. Otherwise, you're welcome with us.

I think I've ignored 2 people in the game. Both were creepy and followed me around the fleet asking me to ERP with them. If that's your thing, you do you, but if someone says "no thanks," walk away. Continually pestering me earns you a block.

Little late to this party, but I did a playthrough with a DS smuggler who'd romanced him and didn't tell him.

I published some ff on a separate website, mostly to avoid forum rules regarding swearing and the like. You can check it out here, if you like. Thanks! https://devilkat1984.wixsite.com/thewritersblock

I would like more comp interactions like those you describe. Also, just because one person kills or banishes a comp on one toon, that doesn't mean they are going to do it on every toon they have. Most people do just the opposite, in fact, Most people have both ds and ls toons, and play them accordingly. They could have one toon who goes stupid dark and kills everyone they get the chance to, and then bring in their next guy and keep everyone around. It seems like BW is assuming that most people will kill or banish these comps on every toon they have, which is more than a little out of touch with their player base.

My problem with it is you really don't have to earn it any more. I got to 257 gear rating when Ossus was the last of the story. I had a goal and I did whatever I could to get to it. It took a while and I was proud of the fact that I was only missing two pieces (that I needed to pvp or hm queen for so wasn't going to happen) to get to max gear. Now? Everyone has max and there's really no challenge, except if you want to get the max level mods. The game's just gotten boring lately

How, exactly, does this "ruin the game"? If you don't want to do it, don't. I find farming boring, so I don't do it.

Not saying that they shouldn't allow gear awards from pvp, but the Culling Blades gear is available from the tech frags vendor. I've grabbed a couple of pieces of it from him.

I've heard Z0OM is the best healer (same concept, aoe heals), but I haven't used her much, so....

I found the Consular story infinitely better as dark side than light. So much more entertaining. Probably lore-breaking, though, so if that matters a lot to you, I wouldn't recommend it

I'd take it a bit farther and say that Valk and Palpatine are the same entity in a different body. I think that this thing has been around since the beginning. Maybe it's a physical manifestation of the dark side or something like that, but every standout baddie across time has been simply this thing in a different form. Regardless of what the individual started as, they always end up as a dark, powerful and evil.

Hey, this stupid virus didn't give me zombies in real life, so I'll take the next best thing

Don't forget the Renown. The Conquest wasn't much better, but at least we'd occasionally get something useful out of the crates. Now it's just the same junk over and over again that I have a ton of already. I destroy everything without thinking. I liked getting the comp gifts and the occasional boost. The comp gifts were why I ground up to 300 on a few toons in the first place. Now, I have no reason to care about renown rank :/

This actually sounds like it'd be kind of fun, and I'm not a pvper

Favorite by far is Theron. Next is probably Jorgan, then Torian. Just starting Lana's and she's actually pretty cute. I'm surprised, but happy with it. Irresso is kind of boring, but at the same time, he's such a nice guy it's hard for me not to. Koth was an okay one, but it was cut off abruptly. Made me sad. Even Corso has his charms, for the right toon. Doc comes on WAY strong (they probably could have dialed him back a bit), but actually becomes quite sweet later on. Working on Temple's right now, too. I don't remember Elara's. I did that one a long time ago. Vector is okay, but the bug thing creeps me out. Andronikous tried to marry me even without me flirting with him, so no. Did Quin's once and meh. I find him to be a little smarmy anyway, so don't like it. Haven't done Vette, Jaesa, Kalyio, Akavi, Risha, Ashara, Nadia, and Mako. Hm. Seeing this, I need to roll more male toons...

Lol all of that was done on a Sith Warrior.

I like the Sith Warrior best, but I've always been a fan of the "opposites attract" troupe. I use it in all of the RPGs I play. But, I can't see him with a complete DS toon. I have a DS5 smuggler who I had go with him, and I honestly feel bad that he's stuck with her...

It'd be nice if they gave the option to get rid of the toggle switch, too. Not delete it completely, but let you choose if you want to turn it on. Being a neutral character is tough when you have to constantly remember to flip the switch every now and then
