Before you start annoying other players with letters you have to look up codes to type why not see if a simple ' or - in the name would look ok as both of those symbols are available for names.

This is a longstanding companion bug. It also persists if the group drops back down to 2 people. The even more annoying bug that occurs now is getting the lock on your companion from a full group and not having it go away when the group disbands.

It would be nice if the options you got when right clicking a player's name in chat or their character portrait included the option to report their name. It seems with the recent server changes that the number of people with inappropriate names has risen.

What I find works well in most groups is ask people to chose the lets talk option on the Asara conversation. Point out that they will still get their light side option and it will net more opportunities for social points. Some people will still ignore you and chose the light side option but at least you have a better chance of getting to the dark side points. (For the person earlier in the thread it is not a choice of lets go or leave her behind in the first set of 2 options. It is lets go or lets talk. The lets talk is actually a better one for a light sider anyway since it gives you the chance to tell her what is going on behind her back with the captain.)

Unfortunately new characters do not get the bonus. I already know that from my secondary server characters. I was waiting to create one alt on that server til I unlocked the race I wanted to make him and finished that after the mailings for the pet and that new alt was left out. I was disappointed about that since I would have liked the pet on all my characters on my account.

My biggest question is when will we be seeing the Cathar and HK-51?

The biggest issue with allowing same first names to exist is the mail system they would first need to have someway to identify which character X the mail is meant for. Same issue for whispers.

Actually if you look at the transfer page we all did move. The high population servers just share the name with our old server in some cases. I saw that the night before and was wondering how that would impact the characters and guilds on The Shadowlands, Jedi Covenant, etc.

If you mean that you have 2 or more characters that had the same name on different servers that are now on the same one then only the one or ones with the ! have to change names.

Hoth is the earliest that any of the classes get the last companion. The latest is the Sith Inquisitor with the final companion coming in a class mission right after Voss. Sith Warrior: Hoth Sith Inquisitor: After Voss Imperial Agent: Belsavis Bounty Hunter: Belsavis Jedi Knight: After Hoth Jedi Consular: After Belsavis Smuggler: Hoth Trooper: Hoth

1) Dual Specialization (with bar options saved for each of the specializations) 2) World looking for group to have the ability to chose what you are queuing for (aka selectable heroics). Separate category for world bosses since they need an op group instead of a party. 3) Looking for group defaulting to the appropriate role for the character's specialization

I definitely liked that the Race missions were globally unlocked instead of individually unlocked like the Rakghoul event. That made it a lot easier to get alts through the event. I did like the way that the Rakghoul event had dailies though. I was a bit disappointed that there were no repeatable missions for the race. My main suggestion for future events would be to either have more places where each individual mission can be completed to spread people out or not make them funnel where only one person / group can complete at a time. If something has to be a one at a time thing then it should be behind an instance portal so it does not become a pile of people all trying to beat one another to the click. I would also suggest taking events like these and making them return on a yearly basis so as you get new players in the game they can experience the events as well. Then the codex entries would still be obtainable in the future for people that missed the original run of the event. Then you would even have the option of upgrading the vendors to be close to whatever the current gear level is when the events make their annual appearance.

The big place where cross server group finding helps is in leveling flash points. Things tend to go lot of people queuing at the lowest levels and the highest levels and not so many in the middle ranges. So cross server can increase the pool of players available for each of the mid range flash points. This was seen very well in WoW when it became so much easier to find groups in the leveling dungeons with cross server queues.

I also have two servers: Main server: 50 Maurader (DS) (sith pureblood) (female) 50 Juggernaut (LS) (human) (female) 50 Operative (DS) (cyborg) (female) 50 Mercenary (DS) (human) (female) 50 Assassin (DS) (zabrak) (female) 50 Sentinel (DS (started LS fell to the dark)) (miralukan) (female) 50 Shadow (LS) (human) (female) 50 Scoundrel (LS) (sith pureblood) (female) Secondary server: 50 Operative (LS) (human) (female) 43 Juggernaut (started dark heading light) (sith pureblood) (male) 23 Assassin (LS) (twilek) (male) 25 Commando (DS) (Mirialan) (male) 26 Shadow (DS) (Miralukan) (male) 27 Scoundrel (DS) (human) (male) Last two here will be a LS bounty hunter (Miralukan) (male) and a DS Jedi Knight (sith pureblood) (male) The second server is where I am doing some different choices to see how things play out. Still feel that the agent seems to have the highest amount of options in the story . (yes after I made the op on the second server I decided the rest of the characters should be male to see the other romance options.)

I have been having a blast with it. I started some new characters on Jedi Covenant just so I could experience the flash points at level. The time til a flash point pops varies quite a bit from day to day and based on the time of day. I have occasionally seen instant queues as a dps. My biggest complaint is the no travel back to your starting point and the occasional resetting of the roles to default. I personally would much rather the default to have been nothing selected so I don't have to decline when I miss noticing it reset and put me in a role that my character was not set up to handle.
