Started out downloading at 1 Mb/s, then dropped down at some stage and showing 512 kb/s. Been downloading now for 7 hours, and at 70.11%. Without the patch size, it a bit hard to judge how long this should be taking, or whether the download speed is accurate.

But the big difference is, Lucas is not writing, directing, or editing. Yes he created something great, but between Episode 6 and 1 somewhere, he lost the plot. Maybe too many "yes-men" who wouldn't criticise him. I can only see things being restored to what the fans enjoyed. Disney payed $4 billion for the company, and I can only see them doing everything they can to make the franchise as big as their Marvel label.

Most likely something like a gyro-stabiliser for the main body to assist movement, and magnets for the head. Just a laymen's guess. I'm more impressed they actually used something physical, rather than all the CGI garbage they used in the prequels. Glad they are going back to old school productions without replying to heavily on special effects to tell or add to the story.

Someone flagged it for removal Was looking forward to having a read.

Yes, "May the Fourth be with you" is a thing, going back over 30 years ago. It's not just an EA/Bioware Old Republic thing. You can read up on it here.

It's always good to see Bioware releasing controversial topics on a Friday before they head home. Guessing they love to kick back and have a beer over the weekend watching the community argue with itself. So what Bioware is saying is "Don't buy our products on release, because we'll be giving it away roughly 6 months later."

Wondering why this video that was showcased last year (can't remember exactly when, though circa F2P starting) has been sitting on the shelf for so long. Maybe if you brought it when originally shown, there'd be more subs, and less need to rely on the CM for income. PS: And thanks for the upcoming title for RotHC. Guess I won't worry about buying the next dull "expansion" if I can wait a few months and pick it up for free.

24 hours cooldown has been on packs since the CM started. If you are buying them each month with your stipend, you should have known this already. Your failure to pay attention and remember the details is no one else's fault, other than your own.

And with notable figure-heads to the movement, such as Sean Connery (who still accepted a knighthood), I'm sure they'll go far

I think a majority of the colour packs (past and present) were done by someone who is colour blind. A lot of the palettes are just gut-wrenching awful. Obviously not the same guy who coloured the end scenes in ME3.

If the player read his Quest Log, it wouldn't have been an issue. Finished starting planet > follow quest to talk to X once you enter the station > he tell you to make a choice and go see Y trainer. It is really not that hard. As for giving them a voice, maybe a sub-forum would do, but there is already enough crap springing up here from subs, rather than allowing F2P in as well.

They could offer it at 10,000,000 credits in game, requiring Legacy Level 50; or You can buy it on the Cartel Market with no Legacy requirements. /sarcasm off The problem you will get will be what happened with eBay WOW characters - max level toons with a player who has absolutely no idea of the class mechanics.

Neither did Ewoks As for the OP's question, I would like to see an actual expansion rather then a DLC with a price tag. More class stories, new races available with the purchase (rather than additional cost on top), new planets and companions consistent with the Old Republic timeline, mini-games, and all that things that have been promised for over a year now and have still not been released.

They should have two options for Treek: 1) Purchased with credits: The current model as depicted; 2) Purchased with CC: The current model with "NASCAR style" advertising all over the model.

No reason that couldn't be due to linguistics programming. There are many dead languages throughout history, and then those invented. There never has to have been contact with an audible language to be able to ascertain it's meaning. Droid programs would just make the process a lot easier, thus 3PO being able to chat to Ewoks. As far as cannon goes, it's still a few thousand years until Ewoks are discovered. As for the OP's question, I'd much rather not see this being purchased via CC. 1M credits is not difficult to earn through dailies. The less emphasis I see on the CM, and some value for subscribers, the better.

Having the same issue on Harbinger. Sudden lag spikes for no apparent reason, or having it fluctuate like you mentioned. Playing the "other" game a few years ago, my ping would be similar (@ 220), though it was a lot more stable than I am seeing from these US mega-servers.

I'm sure there will be those that will say it is free for subscribers, because we get out monthly stipend of coins each month. Or that the cut-scenes are purely cosmetic, thus should be on the cartel market. Personally, I think it is a farce. Subscription seems to be losing it value with every patch, including 2.2 which was supposed to show that subscribers are valued. Other than a new Nightmare mode (personally I don't get the chance to run Ops), there's nothing really there for subscribers.

^^^ Agree I'm really getting fed up with the amount of new equipment, etc. being added to the cartel market while my subscription gets almost naught. Maybe the could add some of these sets into the game, rather than re-colouring existing gear. Or even add some of these sets to the Security Key, VIP, or CE vendors.

Aside from noticing the lag more than expected (played other games at 200-300ms lag with less effect to gameplay), I have also found my latency is seriously unstable. I never had this issue on APAC server, and very rarely playing other MMO's based in the US in the past. Currently I am levelling through Hoth on an alt, and found it even more noticeable there. I'll be dropping to 700ms or worse, only occasionally coming back up to my regular ping of 200-300ms. Anybody heard any word from Bioware regarding this issue, or experiencing the same issue? PS: Will likely try a few options posted previously to see if that helps the issue. Something official regarding the issue would be nice though.

I hear the current rate for sympathy is 10,000 CC

And what do Warhammer Online and SWTOR have in common? As for the "fix" from this morning, it's still not working for me either. As for working on it, they're likely all in bed, and no chance of anything being done prior to midnight AEST. Looks as though we are the transfer guinea pigs before it is opened up to the US and EU players.

Have the flashing Legacy rename as well. Tried re-instating the original name, placing in a new name, etc. Once I hit accept, it keeps flashing, and shows my legacy name as the original

Can you name a single MMO that allows free transfers, outside of correcting server populations for a limited period? The fact they are charging CC for the service is no different to a direct charge to your bank account. It is still a monetary transaction. In all fairness to Bioware, the cost is a lot cheaper than some other games out there.

No guild transfers, and no compensation for buying a new guild bank and tabs.
