It is a last name. The legacy system that you unlock is going to be expanded to have many more features. At this time, it only provides a last name for your characters to share (on that server), and a joint legacy xp bar to gain legacy levels with. Edited: I can't spell

The starting area is Anchorhead itself. As you get farther out the map definitely opens up. I felt very much like I was in a big desert .

The OP's inference is that healers right now CAN do good DPS. I imagine he/she got beat by a healer in PvP and feels this is unacceptable. Though, this is merely my observations and inferences from the OP.

There is a lot to be fixed and added. Try and remember that an MMO is a fluid game. Things will change, get better, get worse. People will come and go. A more constructive post than yours with a suggestion for these features would be the way to go for now.

I don't have this issue myself, BUT: there are several known issues with persistence of settings at the moment. Since auto-cast of certain abilities is a setting, this could be some of the same issue. I assume BioWare is aware of the persistence issues.

I would expect some paid expansions. Note that this is my opinion (read: not fact).

Hi, It is December 28th. The game *officially* launched 8 days ago. This should be a sufficient answer. If it is not, you are trolling (even if you don't know it).

Perhaps the warzone que favors matches populated with mostly 50s? Also, your guild sounds like a rather hard-core guild. The answer to the OP is : Not many. On average, the time to 50 is taking just about as long as the time to 60 did when WoW first launched.

How many chapters are there?

Your image link is bad. Side note: first step, update catalyst, all drivers.

It is my opinion (read: not fact) that the "empire heavy" problems currently faced will dissipate. People will grow tired quickly of being their dream "BAMF Sith" and will explore the other side as well. This happened the reverse with WoW. During the beginning years, the Horde was very underpopulated.

I am hoping so, but I am not sure. Hopefully my first answer will provide enough explanation if they are serious...

You can choose one of three options: 1) Not display it at all 2) Display it as a last name 3) Display it under your name: For example, my Legacy name is "Rintori": Anilon, Republic Privateer <The Highwind> Or Anilon Rintori, Republic Privateer <The Highwind> Or Anilon, Republic Privateer The Rintori Legacy <The Highwind>

Hi - Today is the 28th of December. It is 8 days after the *official* launch of the game. I don't think I need to say anything else.

Sounds like you went to a flashpoint WELL below your level. I am a pretty decent leveler, and good at maximizing quests. For your reference, I have about 80 hours played ( over 3 days) and I am level 36 at the moment.

All, I am seeing more and more complaints about the lack of a /roll or /random. I figured I would post this so that those that wish can leverage it. To simulate a random number environment, with a bit of over-head, do the following: 1) Set the loot to master looter 2) Item or Items drop 3) For each item to be distributed, the master looter picks a number between 1 and 100. If the master looter themselves wishes to "roll" on the item, they have a non-eligible character contribute as if they were eligible. 4) The master looter provides this random number selection to an independent second party via whisper (someone who is not rolling on the loot). 5) Each person who wishes to roll publicly enters a number between 1 and 100 in the ops chat window. 6) The closest number wins the item. If two people chose the same number, and that is the closest, the process starts again for just those two people. 7) Rinse and repeat for each item. The process should not take long and is made public to all involved.

Hey Tiszack. The original post is accurate. While I have never worked on an MMO, it is very much like a business multiple-server environment. There might be further specifics to the MMO industry, and I am with you in that those would be neat to know .

The work-around for now is the following: 1) Set to Master Looter 2) Item Drops 3) For each item, Master looter picks a number between 1-100. Keeps to themselves or whispers to a non-eligable second person. 4) Each eligible for loot whispers Master Looter number. Closest to the ML number gets it. Variations of this also work. Yes it requires some trust. There are also ways to make this system more public.

This had me laughing. That would be hilarious. I don't advise they implement it, but you sir are quite funny.

Yes, you can repeat +2 heroics. The 4 one's I am not too sure about. Really, I can see your problem. You are kind of stuck. You rushed through the 20-38 range where you can rack up a ton of bonus xp. My Gunslinger might hit 40 before even leaving balmora...(for example)

This is quite true. There is maintenance on systems like this. Let's not de-rail this thread folks. I want this to be used simply to show as many people as possible *what* goes on during maintenance, so that hopefully a larger portion will be able to help calm the flames.

Not to point out the obvious - but the "work around" would be to finish the quests.

When you say "all the quests" - are you doing the bonus quests at all times? They provide a significant xp boost both by requiring more kills and providing chunks of xp. Are you doing the bonus series on each planet?

Sadly, your second statement is historically true. I remain hopeful, however, that we can continue to educate the community through one means or another.

Another excellent example of down-time activities =). As I mentioned, there is a lot that goes on. I'll modify my OP and add a blurb about database upkeep (though I am trying to keep the OP very "non-techie" friendly).
