  1. If you go tho their FAQ page and read how they acquire their data they basically admit its from BW's server status page and that they don't know if BWs status algorithms are opperating homogenously (do they suddenly announce data differently or always the same). I would take all of those statistics sites with a big grain of salt. It could very likely be that different algorithms were implemented right at hectic launch and now.
  2. Just out of curiosity, how many times do you have to die to get a 10min timer?
  3. Has any Cybertech tried to RE the capacitor? Maybe there are hidden steps?
  4. This. I am a synthweaver and I do wear oranges. However, whenever I accomplish RE-ing a purple that is appropriate for my level it is way better than oranges with blue mods in them, or even oranges with one or two purple mods in some cases. Also dont forget, mods are not as easy to come by as some make it out to be. The commendation vendors sell some, yes, but not all and if you focus on some particular primary or secondary stat (I for example wanted to test high crit gear) it becomes difficult to find the right mods at the time you need it. I play on The Rogue Moon EU server (avg load of 1.8 according to TORStatus.net) and I have been selling my made blue stuff well enough and my purple usually just as well. It helps if you craft stuff for slots that are usually hard to acquire via other means (ie quests etc.) such as bracers and belts. This economy especially in its current state is not one where you can make fixed assumptions just going from item rarity color. You need to take into account more things than that.
  5. Guys, please don't forget that finding something including the word "remoterenderer" on your own PC means nothing. The server-client model (ie something involving a remote renderer, where remote is your own machine through loopback) is often used in multicore rendering and IPC calls. I know it is easy to get fueled by something like this, but as a few guys have advocated, please use reason before jumping to conclusions. Even though the OP maintains that only a portion of a 3D model would need to be protected (and thus re-sent) I believe the simple fact that the engine still needs to sync it up for everyone would make it unfeasible in hub areas (as evidenced in the post by StephenReid). If you actually look up time-rewrite lag compensation in engines such as the Source engine, or more recently, Battlefield 3, you realize that the amount of data actually transferred for sync-up is text size, ie as small as possible. Just food for thought.
  6. I assume you mean first person perspective adjustment. To do that, scroll your mousewheel until you "zoom into" your characters head, upon which it switches to first person view. This allows you to "mouse look" freely without being restricted to a concentric circle around your character in third person view.
  7. You do know about the crew skill mission level range drop down? I don't know about your exact problem or skill, but try utilizing that drop down to see if the unlocked mission is found within another level range. Also the mission level ranges are not tied to your character's level! This was a source of confusion for me as well. The drop down is found at the upper right corner of the dialog where you can also pick the mission.
  8. Also don't forget you can search with good ol' Google, restricting it to only show entries from http://www.swtor.com, including this forum. To do so: 1. Go to google.com 2. Enter your search term 3. Append " site:www.swtor.com" (note: first character is a space)
  9. Based on your preferences you would look for an RP-PvE server. If you would like to know what types of servers are available, the new player guide describes all types in just the right amount of depth. Just know that depending on how serious you take roleplaying, RP prefixed servers usually have strict rules for when to be in character and when to be out of character. If you only casually roleplay you may find it irritating after a while to adhere to something that is more strict. In that case, a plain PvE server maybe the way to go. If you think you have found a server just go ahead and try it. You can create multiple characters on multiple servers. And finally, you should also keep server population (peak) values in mind (e.g. may not be the best idea to choose a server that is FULL at times when you want to play). A good site that shows you this information is torstatus.
  10. I am told there is a neutral GTN node that allows player to cross sell. I haven't checked it out myself yet though. I know that the GTNs on your fleet station are only for players of your own faction (which makes sense ofc).
  11. When I did that fight, I was lvl 19 as I did many flashpoints and all side quests. I didn't even know I had to actually use the stuff I got from the estate quest line. The things that helped me the most for leveling around your range: 1. Static Barrier! Use it, love it, abuse it! On you and your companion. Lvl 14 should be the level that you get it. 2. Don't spam Thrash (the lightsaber dual attack). It will drain you force too quickly. Instead use Force Lightning and Lightning Strike occasionally. 3. Send in Khem first (Ctrl+1 when you have focused the target). 4. Don't forget health stims for when you are OOF (out of force). 5. Read the sith sourcerer guide stickied in this subforum. It is great! That tells you on which gear to focus and what stats to keep maxed at all times (hint: for primary it's Willpower, secondary is more complicated. Read the guide.) And last but not least, don't forget that you can bring another sith sorcerer with you. I think there's a prefs option that allows same classes in your story mission. Starts with "Allow same..." but I forgot the exact name. However you should have gotten a tooltip explaining the option when you entered your first few class mission areas.
