Hello, I just recently returned and have found that all of my friends have moved/rerolled to a PVE server. I would like to play with them, but do not want to start over. I have searched the forums but have not seen any official response. Are there plans to introduce a paid server transfers? Thanks,

Why dont we get a full body shot? Sometimes it cool just to look at your toons and see what you have acquired and since ingame graphics arent that great on textures it would be great to see the textures up close in the character select screen. Any thoughts?

Well, I assume I will want the max alignment on my main to give that bonus from the Legacy (from what I heard you get a small buff for maxing it out) that is why I am trying to get it.

Hey guys, So I am trying to build my alignment and I am tired of running Esseless over and over. What dailies can I do at lvl 50 to gain alignment points? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info, I like the idea of tanking in PVP especially how taunt works in this game. I was just hoping it didnt do a major gimp on myself now that I am starting to get gear. One big problem though is I play solo so I never have a healer. I assume my best bet would to guard a healer at the beggining and follow him around?

Is tanking in PVP a viable way of playing? I recently leveled to 50 and have recieved a few tokens for Champ gear but cannot decide. Any other PVP tanks out there? Or am I better off getting the DPS gear and Spec Focus?

lunabaguna I think you are confused, I dont understand where you think the Sith Warrior quest line takes place after everyones which is a farse.... but anyhow I will show you why Republic wins, ( I have level 50 on both sides and know the NPC names)

Haha but it does exist, but only partialy. "Ding, now you get Legacy experience! This will allow you to have more character creation options blah blah blah" But...... its like a ghost feature.

Hey all, I did a search on the forums for Dev posts, also did a google search in hopes to find some (ANY) kind of information about the legacy system but alas there is none! I listened to interviews, read dev posts and all I have read/heard was "it will suprise you, or it will add some more character creation options to your alts" What I dont understand is how such a huge feature of the game is supposably only a month away and we havent even seen a glimpse of it, how it works, what REALLY does. I say that because I would like to make an alt but the Legacy system obviously is holding me back as I dont know what it offers. Am I missing something or can someone on the forums direct me to the right place to see information on this Legacy system?

Hello, I am worried about the long term games success as I am finding my server to have less and less Republics on it. So I went through every PVP Western server to find that each of those servers is also having a severe faction imblance ranging from 3:1 to 5:1 ratio by doign /who 50's and added it up. My guild is a PVP guild and we see the only option for the game is to roll Empire or go back to our old games as they dont see the game with such bad imbalances providing a good experience. Maybe I am wrong but I do not recall any population imbalances this severe in any MMO's that I have played before. For example on my server alone there was 7 Republics and 60 Empire in Ilum. Who also /who the Fleet, my server having 30 people 90 at peak hours while the Empire never dropped below 100 and theirs ran up much higher on peak hours. This is a little disheartening and I think I know why. 1. It begins with character creation, any fence sitter who isnt hard core Jedi would find a more interesting pull into a faction that actually has more options and in character creation, empire having 1 more race and the races themselves are much more unique then that of the Republic in compaired to our only "human". 2. Aesthetics- There seems to be a "cool" factor when playing empire (guards kneel as you pass as a starter sith) the feeling of being "bad ***". Anyone who does a little research will find even down to ship design the empire has a very cool look to it. Lets not get started on end game gear (consular- Naboo Senator anyone? Knight- Samurai WHA?!) 3. Animations- This one is a big one I think that pulls players to a class they can relate to, while pulling rocks out of the ground and lobbing grenades from a gun, they dont have a certain pull like lightening or a wrist rocket launcher. Everything from stun animations (your body is being consumed by force lightening shocking your body) compaired to the generic MMO holding your head stun animation. Force choke>Force Stasis. 4. The burning desire to be BAD! if all of the above wasnt enough the pure aspect of being bad always pulls gamers in, you would think that Bioware would put a little more time pulling players to play Republic due to the nature of the MMO beast of the darker/evil faction always having a strong pull on players. My suggestion would be add another race to Republic, polish end game gear, ship design and animations to start. I know some would argue that in time they will balance out but that has never happened nor ever will happen in MMO's, especially when you invest time. The average gamer gets attached to their character and will not make a switch. While the more hardcore will gravitate to the more populated faction for group/community involvement which will in return hurt the Republic even more. What are your thoughts on the subject? Any ways to improve the balance? I know its impossible to achieve perfect balance, but as it is I think there is room for improvement and I believe it should be a high priority for the long term success of the game.

I know there is no way to filter people into different factions, but on all the Western PVP servers every server had more Imperials by a LARGE margin than the Republic, some servers had more of 1 class then the WHOLE republic side at lvl 50. I also noticed that even the lower starting levels are very heavy on population so its not like there is a chance that the any server that you want to play republic on will have any fair PVP balance. I wonder what the reasoning behind every game's (dark faction) always has more people on it. Rift, WoW are large examples of two faction games with a HEAVY emphasis on the darker factions. What do you think?

I agree, the world textures are excellent, but a few armor pieces go from good textures to BAD textures. I hope they sharpen up the textures in future patches, I now WoW and Rift have both improved the texture quality overtime and I assume SWTOR will.

I agree.. But I find it odd the two sides aren't balanced in the fact they don't share the same amount of options.

Hmm.. Why is there only 6 races on republic but 7 on imperial. I am sure the republic could find one race to help fight for them.... But beside that point I find it frustrating that the republic has one less option for races..... AND the fact that you have human, blind human, human with VERY little cyborg features, green human as options wth the only difference being zabrak and twilik Where as the empire has a nice race lineup with real different looks. Anyone else find it a tad annoying?

Thanks!

I cannot find any information on him in the Holonet who is he? Who is the Emporer of the Empire? I dont know a lot of backstory here. It seems the guy on the cover was killed in the Cinematic? Any enlightening of this would be great.
