I know, it's terrible:( that and the spider eggs, would have made the cave so much better
I want those big white spidery beast personnel (can't remem the species name) to be floor, wall AND ceiling decors so we can put them upside down on the ceilings and on walls.

Seconded. Some double XP and everything on sale on the CM
You want a CM sale during a massively failing economy, when people are being laid off work by the thousands and are worried about how they're going to pay their bills? Sorry, but I had to LOL at that. This is the WORST time to be doing a big sale, and Bioware (hopefully) has the sense to realize that. People aren't going to be dropping $$$hundreds on thong armors and decors when they don't know when or if they'll get another paycheck.
If BW wants to make bank they'd wait for a big sale after all this virus garbage stabilizes.

That's exactly what I do and yes the Ossus vendors sell decos for tech fragments. I have made my Killick cave quite spooky and when those cracked eggs hatch - look out!
Still mad that we can't put the drippy stuff on the cave ceiling.

Waiting for people to start reporting my char with "Corvid" in the name because they can't read.

Like when you need to recalibrate your amplifiers for example? 😉
Dude. You can't be spending all your credits on stuff like gear and amps when there's always the chance a new bikini costume set will be released on the CM.

One continuing issue is that people can't tell the difference between "total business" and "profit". Blizzard did not make $7B in 2018, that's the total amount of business. Their profit was closer to $1.5B, which, while still a good chunk of change, is, all the same, a lot less than $7B.
It's the same when people suggest that SWTOR has "made" a billion.
It's basic math and economics. Say you buy 100 items at $1 each, wholesale. Then you sell them at $2 each. You've done $200 total business and made $100.
But say they don't sell and you end up getting only $.75 each. You've then done $75 total business, at a loss of $25.
So, when BW says that SWTOR has done nearly $1billion in business, that doesn't tell you how much, if anything, they've actually "made" on that business. Hopefully they make enough to keep going for a while longer. 🙂
As a business owner, I understand every bit of this. But--thanks, I guess?

Yet they do exactly that in a fair few other cases. Off the top of my head they can reference you being a Zabrak if you are one while playing a SI. Pretty sure SW have some unique lines if they are purebloods too. And I'm guessing there's more. Oh yeah, Chiss agent, that gets mentioned.
All I was saying is it was strange with ALL the talk Vette does about Twi'leks (A LOT) and all the responses you can have about Twi'leks (also a fair amount) at some point they'd have thought to include a line about being one yourself, especially when you can say crap like "Twi'leks make good slaves" xD Self hating nonsense lol.I did say below the post you quoted that it's most likely because you probably couldnt be a SW Twi'lek at launch, so it didn't have the necessary dialogue recorded. Just a guess though, I don't know what species could be which class at launch.
The best post-gamestart species issue is in one of the quests an NPC explains to you what a Cathar is--even if you're a Cathar. I think there's a similar issue involving someone talking about the Chiss(?) even if you're one, but don't quote me.

I used my first 3k on a good tactical for my healing spec merc. Now I am saving them up again, not sure what to spend them on next. Maybe a type of gear set is available with them I aint even sure.
According to Theorycrafters you want the Concentrated Fire set for a healing Merc.
Set bonus: Concentrated Fire; one piece Amplified ChampionTactical: Rocket Fuel Vapors
Amplifier: Medtech
Stat distribution:
• Alacrity:
>= 1213, 1.4 GCD without Guild Perk
>= 1895, 1.3 GCD with Guild Perk
• you can also go for the 1.3 GCD without Guild Perk:
>= 3208 without Guild Perk
this choice should depend on your personal playstyle
• Critical: remaining tertiary stats

Spend a few days and get your main and alts into 306 gear, get your bonus sets as quickly as possible and then just start blowing your tech frags at the RNG vendor buying armorings and mods. No credits necessary for rerolling. RNG is RNG no matter where it happens. Might as well not waste credits for it.

with all the other crap people name their toons and THIS is the hill you chose to die on?
:: SMH ::
^^This. Usually at any given time of the day you can run around Fleet and see people named after political figures, religious figures and deities, or using thinly-disguised foul language and any and all manner of graphically sexual terms, often with the sole purpose of name-trolling. I've seen names about all kinds of heinous activities including dog-fighting, baby-killing, names that made fun of 9/11--the list goes on and on. But THIS is what sends you over the edge?
While it IS an issue, it's just a symptom of a much larger issue across most games with a social portion--the game studios make ridiculous amounts of money but somehow mystically can't afford a small 24/7 staff to police them. For example, Blizzard made $7B in 2018, but can't afford staff to watch its chats. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Here's what I read a long time ago: Oola (female) was designed that way for ROTJ, but the designer for Bib Fortuna (male), the only other original (I mean original 1983 verson) Twi-lek, the designers accidentally left that out. Supposedly, it was complete accident, but they left it that way.
Source: Google, cause you're not paying me.
The weird thing about that is--considering how long it takes in the makeup chair--how did NOone step back and go, "Hey, guys, how come this dude has ears?" I'd almost be inclined to believe some of the crew didn't know they were supposed to be the same species. Bib did look markedly different after all.

Please tell me the inclusion of Space missions in Conquest means they're overhauling the reward system. At this rate I'll still be grinding Rep for the next 50 years.

My personal experience is load times doubled after one of our major updates. I'm wanting to say it was the Jedi Under Siege update at the end of 2018. I use SSDs (I work with large graphic files so they're a must) and never had to wait for loads until that update. Suddenly every zone change across the board had a 5+ second wait.
-
I honestly think this Reddit post about the same thing nails it:
But I think it stems from Oola's costume headdress having those two nubs on either side which, over the years, became thought of as ears. Probably started when an artist mistakenly depicted a Twi'lek female with those nubs when she wasn't wearing a headdress, so it got incorporated into the canon.Oola was the OG female Twi'lek in Jabba's palace and had that weird cone-ear headdress. I think it's entirely possible someone along the way in the Lucas camp misinterpreted those nubs as hearing organs and drew other Twi'lek females that way.

Ilum has one of the best skyboxes, but the dailies were forgettable and nobody ever seems to bring up that the original endgame for Vanilla (which started on Ilum) has one storyline that was the same across both factions and all classes.
I still have that questline starter stuck on so many characters. It's just a slog to do after you've seen it for the 20th time.
-
You're probably seeing more mention of Ilum because of The Rise of Skywalker. Surrounding film material finally confirmed that Starkiller Base was the planet Ilum. So over the next few millennia from SWTOR Ilum will get hollowed out and forgotten, then rebuilt as a giant Death Star, then blown up. Kinda takes the winds out of the sails for the whole "let's go questing more there and set up base and build a Stronghold" etc.

Since no one has mentioned it--

Do people /report spam those messages or just start to rant in gen chat and use their own /ignore?
I know as late as 2018 that reporting spammers in chat wasn't wise, for one main reason--every time you reported a name it stealthily opened up a CS ticket in your name. I remember I ignored/reported every spammer I saw for nearly a year after returning to game in 2017. When the time came for me to actually NEED support for an in-game problem I received the message I had too many pending tickets. Turned out it was all those pesky spam bot name reports. And you couldn't close those tickets either; the system was just straight up broken. Whether they fixed all that garbage I have no idea, but to this day I try to report as little as possible in case it's still that badly implemented

People need to really stop spreading this myth that 'all companions are about the same'. There were differences before Onslaught but Onslaught seriously broke some of them with the one-size-fits-all overhaul. The beast comps in particular are now pure trash at healing. HK-51 is a notoriously horrific tank, and was so before Onslaught. Z0-0M is better at heals than a lot of them, just like Shae is without question the best DPS. I can only assume people who say they're basically 'all the same' don't solo harder content.

The short time I played WoW I had a few two passenger mounts and they always came in handy. I had a friend who had a lot of trouble getting disoriented while flying, something about the movement on screen would make her dizzy to the point of about passing out. So she'd mount up with me and I'd fly us to where we needed to be while she looked away from screen or closed her eyes.

I was one of the ones who advocated for a rename sale last year, and even started a thread about it which Musco finally addressed, saying there was a sale incoming. Their price had hung at 1000cc for over a year and a half and on the GTN character renames had climbed to 40m+ each. I'm wanting to say flagship renames were in the 150m+ range. While I'm surprised that the 40% off sale has lasted for months now, I'm still not holding my breath that it will always be that way.
-
So I have to ask--are you 100% sure the item didn't just stack? I've seen people mention this bug and out of the thousands of boxes I've opened I've never had one empty. Items do, however, stack. And when they stack the Renown stash item count doesn't change; no new slot is taken up. I could see people mistaking that as "I didn't get anything".

They've been doing the fade to black for the better part of a decade now (RotHC was released in 2013). I doubt they're going to completely switch it up now.

"Pat" is a term that seems to confuse a lot of people in SWTOR. A "pat" is a pather, or patrolling mob. I've heard that term for years in playing MMOs, and I think it was playing Aion way way back where I picked it up. But any time I say "Watch the pat!" in SWTOR people act like I'm speaking Greek. You can even Google "MMO terms pat" and it comes up as part of MMO-speak, so why people act like it's such a foreign term in this game is beyond me.
blizzard is doing it

All the SWTOR players who remember the 12x XP event, represent!
Nothing will ever be as awesome as killing a single mob and leveling, lol.
