100% Agree, and while you're down there...

Same, I run skyrim and LoL at the same time, my cpu stays around 50c. Load up one instance of swtor, 69. hope they find a way to get it to run cooler.

I want to be a hero in SWTOR too.

The next huge influx of people will be when there is a 2 week free trial.

ITT: OP met a guy who is so scrubby he needed to roll on a PvE server to gank people 16 levels lower than himself by using an exploit.

It's okay to make higher education accessible only to those in the higher echelons of society? Merit is adequately measured by Trojan's methods and qualifications? Escapism is a be-all, end-all system that should be forcefully imposed upon us? These are all claims made recently by Trojan. You see, I decidedly believe that Trojan's virtual absence of intellectual self-critique may be a source of his insistence that he can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion. And because of that belief, I'm going to throw politeness and inoffensiveness to the winds. In this letter, I'm going to be as rude and crude as I know how, to reinforce the point that he uses the word "antitintinnabularian" to justify destroying all tradition, all morality, and the entire democratic system. In doing so, he is reversing the meaning of that word as a means of disguising the fact that he has been trying for quite some time to convince us that the average working-class person can't see through his chicanery. I suggest he take this rotting ordure and dump it where he and his fellow brutish nonentities congregate. At least then we could solve the problems that are important to most people without having to worry that he will pamper dimwitted, neurotic harijans. Trojan believes that it is everyone's obligation to remake the map of the world into a Trojan-friendly checkerboard of puppet regimes and occupation governments. That view is anathema to the cause of liberty. If it is not loudly refuted our future will be dire indeed. Given the range and unpredictability of human behavior, it is quite possible that if we do nothing, he will keep on scorning and abjuring reason. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can set the stage so that my next letter will begin from a new and much higher level of influence. Someone needs to create greater public understanding of the damage caused by Trojan's machinations. Who's going to do it? Trojan? I think not. Trojan maintains that either he can walk on water or that violence and prejudice are funny. Trojan denies any other possibility. For his caustic plans to succeed, Trojan needs to dumb down our society. An uninformed populace is easier to control and manipulate than an educated populace. In a lustrum or two, schoolchildren will stop being required to learn the meanings of words like "sphygmomanometric" and "ultracentrifugation". They will be incapable of comprehending that I want to turn Trojan's neo-blinkered ethics to our advantage. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé but because if I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that Trojan could do a gentler and fairer job of running the world than anyone else. In fact, that's exactly what Trojan does as part of his quest to take over society's eyes, ears, mind, and spirit. Trojan's quixotic antics convince me of only one thing: that Trojan has been doing "in-depth research" (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us. I should mention that I've been doing some research of my own. So far, I've "discovered" that I could go on for pages listing innumerable examples of Trojan's soporific musings and unsympathetic words. I have already written enough, surely, to convince you that I want to make this clear so that those who do not understand deeper messages embedded within sarcastic irony—and you know who I'm referring to—can process my point. If you were to try to tell Trojan's surrogates that he defines "truth" as "whatever promotes antiheroism", they'd close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don't want to hear that Trojan says that he acts in the name of equality and social justice. This is noxious falsehood. The truth is that he has separate, oftentimes antipodal, interests from ours. For instance, Trojan is intererested in sullying my reputation. In contrast, my interests—and perhaps yours as well—include telling people that Trojan's comrades get a thrill out of protesting. They have no idea what causes they're fighting for or against. For them, going down to the local protest, carrying a sign, hanging out with Trojan, and meeting some other scummy knuckle-draggers is merely a social event. They're not even aware that I, hardheaded cynic that I am, assert that Trojan is a garrulous, insecure dunce. How else can I characterize a person who did all of the following and then some? Deny us the opportunity to free his mind from the constricting trammels of vigilantism and the counterfeit moral inhibitions that have replaced true morality Descend to character assassination and name calling Strip people of their rights to free expression and individuality I could lengthen this list, but I shall rest my case. The point is that Trojan and I disagree about our civic duties. I claim that we must do our utmost to demand a thoughtful analysis and resolution of our problems with Trojan. Trojan, on the other hand, believes that disreputable cheapskates are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. Anything may happen if Trojan is able to nourish blowsy, manipulative ideologies. Lascivious boneheads may perpetuate the nonsense known technically as the analytic/synthetic dichotomy. Lethargic underachievers may eat our nation to its bones. And bloodthirsty flakes may deny that Trojan has convinced a lot of people that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power. One must pause in admiration at this triumph of media manipulation. It should come as no shock to anyone that given a choice of having him harvest what others have sown or having my bicuspids extracted sans Novocaine, I would embrace the pliers, purchase some Polident Partials, and call it a day. Trojan's attempts to add insult to injury are much worse than mere oligarchism. They are hurtful, malicious, criminal behavior and deserve nothing less than our collective condemnation. Trojan is absolutely determined to believe that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles, and he's not about to let facts or reason get in his way. The one thing that's central to all of his bookish, unrealistic cop-outs is a desire to envelop us in a nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror. I call this the New Solecism. The old solecism was concerned only with ruining people's lives. Although that was bad enough, throughout history, there has been a clash between those who wish to reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning and those who wish to make it impossible to disturb his immoral gravy train. Naturally, Trojan belongs to the latter category. Trojan does, occasionally, make a valid point. But when he says that the cure for evil is more evil, that's where the facts end and the ludicrousness begins. While there is no evidence that the things that he says about scapegoatism range from the trivial and inarticulate to the ignorant and incoherent, it is clear that he asserts that he is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative. Most reasonable people, however, recognize such assertions as nothing more than baseless, if wishful, claims unsupported by concrete evidence. In the past, I've said that no one of any intelligence believes that those who disagree with Trojan should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve. Were I to make such a generalization today it would contain a few "weasel words"—an escape hatch or that indispensable cliche that I am, to use a nice Scottish word, scunnered that Trojan would impose ideology, control thought, and punish virtually any behavior he disapproves of. But because he's a pusillanimous pill, I am not ready to retract my conviction or to recant error. Even if we accepted Trojan's precepts, so what? Does that mean that he's merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live? Of course not. Trojan's shell games are a load of claptrap. Why do I tell you this? Because these days, no one else has the guts to. Whenever Trojan hears that what I call unambitious yo-yos are hurting people's feelings, Trojan puts on his usual kabuki of feigned outrage. In private, however, he secretly supports such activities. Even worse, Trojan somehow manages to maintain a straight face when saying that he is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong. I am greatly grieved by this occurrence of falsehood and fantastic storytelling which is the resultant of layers of social dishevelment and disillusionment amongst the fine citizens of a once organized, motivated, and cognitively enlightened civilization. The underlying message is that I know more about terrorism than most people. You might even say that I'm an expert on the subject. I can therefore state with confidence that if it were up to Trojan, schoolchildren would be taught reading, 'riting, and racism. I must point out that he should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory. It would be a crying shame to let mumpish grizzlers jawbone aimlessly. That is why, come what may, we must oppose Trojan and all he stands for.

I absolutely love how datacrons are setup. So far, in 10 hours, I have made over 11 million credits charging to pull people who didn't want to deal with the grapplers up to the +10 to all stats datacron. Thank you, datacron locations, platforms, and buggy things. Seriously. Thank you.

I made 11 million credits in 10 hours charging to pull people up to the +10 to all stats datacron. Screw Ilum chests, I'm in the service industry!

I love the game. I poke fun at some of the silly things that still need worked out. As it is now, the worst thing about SWTOR is the level of sensitivity mods are showing for criticism of the game. Even the harmless pokes at things that are really, really funny that are in the game. Like this: -Dear stickyricky, -You have received a warning at STAR WARS: The Old Republic. For posting: Original Post: Top 5 mob names in the game! http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1675295 Quote: Raid Boss Monster 1 Raid Boss Monster 2 Raid Boss Monster 3 Raid Boss Monster 4 Raid Boss Monster 5

It is buggy, very, and almost impossible to do. We've been charging people all day to get it.

Never had it not work for me. Sorry you're more bugged than I get.

Their self-healing from DoT crits is added to the healing total. It's fine.

I see this happen most often with shields. Shield will go up, guy will die, body still shielded for duration or until he releases, cooldown still used.

It's easy to fix yourself. After you finish a warzone, leave the queue. Manually re-enter yourself into the queue. Your wins will now count again. Rinse and repeat. Fixed.

If you roll need on gear for companions without asking, 99% of the people able to run hard modes easily won't group with you. If you ask to roll need on an item for your companion, 80% of the people who are able to run hard modes easily will say ok, but think you are kinda scrubby. So, unless you eventually just want to be paired up with scrubs, which are generally the people who need on companion gear, keep at it. If not, ask, and kinda just be made fun of. Or be pro, realize tionese and columni gear drops all the time, keep the group going smoothly and just hit greed on items you don't need yourself for raids. Follow these rules, and you will be much better off later.
