Just west of the the Empire town will be a small villiage of hostile NPC's (lower level mobs). Follow a small winding path up to this villiage... From there you will have a birds eye view of the Empire town. You can scale the wall all the way around the imps. Jump down onto a small hut, and over the wall. I drew a aggro when I hopped the final wall, but was still on my speeder and got away safely. Otherwise, you're gonna have to go through the pvp zone. Good luck!

I read on these forums that you can go with Elara on the quest to find her brother. Some had missed the opportunity, didn't realize it was an option....etc etc. I'm currently at the conversation w/ Elara, when she recieves the holo from her brother, in trouble on Nar Shaddaa. I've restarted the conversation several times, but it doesn't appear to be an option to go with her. Is there really an option to go with her? I only get to the 3rd or 4th reply before I reset....but the options are: suspicious, protocol, or go ahead. -Perhaps i'm not going far enough in the conversation? Or not an option to go afterall? Anyone with information on this, I'd appreciate the tip.

Thanks for the heads up about Taris... I've spent hours dissecting drivers, cards, swtor files.... Just didn't make sense that only one toon was affected. Now I just need to spend an hour or more trying to run back to the hanger, with a 10 second delay. laaaaaaaaaggggggg. Perhaps Bioware should lower the amount of quests in Taris, just a thought. It seemed like for every quest I turned in, 3 new ones popped up. They were multiplying like rabbits.

I have 5 or 6 created toons, but have been leveling my Cons Sage mostly. All was fine until earlier today I got bogged down with tremendous lag while questing in Taris. I exited the game and even rebooted the computer w/ no luck. I have no problems playing other toons currently.....just the one I'm enjoying the most. Suggestions? Ideas?

Having flashbacks to my first days of WoW... When I tried running my NE Priest from Darn, to Ironforge through Ashenvale, into Azshara.....in order to train swords /facepalm. Those of you who understand how absurd that is on EVERY level /applause. Anywho. Started my 4th toon (trooper) and have not recieved my companion yet at lvl 9. Is this normal? I had a companion by this time on different toons. Also. This makes me cringe, but....how in gods name do I barrel roll, or duck, or take cover behind a crate? Be gentle

It's commonly referred to as Ninja'ing in mmo's. Sounds like you did it by accident, which can happen. But often you'll find that players will need on anything and everything. Also, when you're in a group that is running a fanatic pace, you can find yourself rolling greed/need w/o even comparing stats or gear. Take your time when gear drops, give a quick comparison on stats, whether it's bind on equip (BoE) or bind on pickup (BoP) and roll accordingly. Don't beat yourself up....good to see players with a conscience!
