If you couldn't care less then you wouldn't be against the principle of it.

Yeah sure, in a galaxy-wide empire of tens of thousands of races and a number of sapient entities that probably gets somewhere near Grahms number, it's totally plausible to assume Yoda was a god with such an intimate connection to the force that he was aware of every birth and death of every force sensitive being across 100,000+ light years of space. If he was then he was just like every other omniscient entity, a riddle-spewing ******** determined to leave everyone as confused as possible. Maybe *Yoda* is the real villain here.

The display name has always been valid for login. While that is a stupid security flub on the part of EA/Bioware it isn't a new issue. Having half your login info *is* a security issue because it's that much less work for someone if they really wanted to grab your info, but those cows left the barn years ago. It would be nice if they let us change our forum name. I don't think it's a major problem anyway, unless their client is like DAOC's when it first came out and it would handshake with anyone who was listening. That's exaggeration but close enough as a representative idea. I don't know how TOR transmits login info but I assume it operates the same way most clients do regarding crypto. If someone busts that cyrpto then it really don't matter where they got your username from because you're screwed anyway. If you're talking about getting phished, well... that's beyond the scope of security professionals and enters the realm of very patient support staff to help you resolve your own created issues. I still wanna change my forum name though.

Yeah, SWG had great rewards, a shame the game was a POS for so long they had to turn it into something else entirely for it to work at all. I mean, Combat Medics never had any issues like nonexistent mats for a year or more, Squad Leaders... well.. being Squad Leaders, AT-ST trios, dropping an entire imperial base on a newbie zone outside of Anchorhead, VAST TRACTS of deserted housing that covered more of the planet than everything else combined, horrible general lag, 1-shot mind kills, triple rancor pets, zero content whatsoever peddled as "sandboxy", the entire 'end game' reduced to hunting krayts and PVP with the weeks latest OP attempt to fix a host of class issues that were so busted *** stupid broken from the start they had to rebuild the entire thing from the ground up and call it NGE. SWG was absolute garbage. I had a lot of fun with it but I came out of the time where once you got to a certain point you found all the game exploits and pounded the hell out of them. Hey this wall gives you +500 xp just by running into it? Tell your buddies and wedge the up arrow down for a few hours. I never expected that game to work right after a week with it, it never did and while I enjoyed it for a brief time for what it was, the idea that SWG was a good game beyond the setting and the players is just bankrupt. Any kind of rewards they handed out after that pre-NGE kludge fest is kind of like passing out candy canes to a bunch of homeless kids. I guess hiding out in your house and moving pictures around for hours on end was a magical experience worthy of reverence or something. As for the OP to this thread, I don't think he was asking that much. While I think there's a bit of entitlement going on, I would think that if presents are getting handed out - baby taun tauns and such - another title saying I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH isn't really asking too much at all.

So he wants to play unlimited warzones, unlimited operations, unlimited space missions and unlimited group flashpoints for at least two characters. If you are investing that much time into the game then you sub for 15 bucks. If you aren't investing that much time in the game and just like to PVP you buy a weekly unlimited wz pass. This is an incredibly stupid article. If I want to ride the bus every day for a year I buy a bus pass, I don't spend the daily fee every day. Unless I'm an idiot like the author of this article.

My kids don't like the ewoks. My 6 year old asked me how the ewoks got all the traps in place without the Empire noticing. When I said it was supposed to be because the Empire didn't take them seriously, he asked me how the Empire got so powerful in the first place. I told him everyone in the galaxy was an idiot. It didn't satisfy him much but we got to the part where Vader throws Palpatine down a space well and the conversation ended. We haven't watched ROTJ again since I don't want to revisit that conversation about ewoks. I'm not worried about the Sex Talk anymore so much as the Ewok Talk. Sorry, everyone carry on.

Or you could run normal space missions for fleet comms and buy them in game instead. Or buy them for 75k on the GTN since they got flooded.

Threads like these just call attention to the fact you have breasts IRL and have an opinion about how they are perceived. It will receive the same kind of responses it would in any other part of the interwebs. Anyway, since this is a chick thread, I was griping about the unintuitive legacy family tree system until my wife showed me how similar it was to The Sims. So between that and all the dress up things you can do with the orange armor to play dolls, SWTOR is a chick game anyway.

What probably happened is you got stuck in a junk team. When you immediately join the next WZ after losing it's with the same people. Who lose again. After 3 times of this in a row, I nerd raged last night, then turned off my PC in shame. Earlier in the day I had a solid team where the lead marked my "Dude is healing" targets and people focus fired, and used CCs and went after objectives instead of dueling. Won 4 in a row with those people. A few cycle out and a few cycle in but generally it seems if there is a solid core team it doesn't matter. I always feel a bit sad to get shuffled into the Bad Team in Huttball and promptly get focus fired down by people I was calling out to just one game before. I still can't tell if resolve is really working right, though.

First, there will never be an MMO with a Permadeath feature. The closest I remember is Diablo 2 HC and HGL HC and the pool of people willing to accept permanent toon death from potential issues like LAG DEATH was very, very tiny compared to the people who howled for it. Speaking as someone who got harcore toons into the 40's and beyond in those games and others. People don't play MMO's for a challenge, they play it for socializing. If you want permadeath there's nothing preventing you from forming a guild coalition that expects you to delete your toon whenever you get smushed, unless you have a good reason (my kid yanked out my ethernet cable). Tomfoolery. Anyway. Second, why would you want to unlock something after chapter 1? So you could play 1/3 of it to unlock something else to play 1/3 of?

I remember a time in Asheron's Call where they did a 72 hour rollback because a merchant in the Direlands would buy anything for a gazillion pyreals or something. I remember because my wife reminded me about it last night, laughing about the pile of bodies on Darktide where a couple guys had blocked the door to murder everyone trying to get in to exploit it. She is a wonderful woman. So SWTOR is undestroyed now?

This is the Internet, you're supposed to be jaded and cynical. Just in case someone figures out you have a positive attitude and cheerful outlook on life, and they despise you for it. Secretly, he has a sad. Like I do. Also, I like 1.2 as well.

Fett in ROTJ was kinda sad. In Empire he talked back to Vader and Vader didn't force choke him into a puddle on the ceiling. I think that's kind of ******. At least, the other people who back talked him and survived in that flick was Luke and Han; Han got himself packed in ice and Luke cried a whole lot. You take what you're given I guess.

That review operates under the false assumption that IV, V and VI are inferior because I, II and III are somehow more nuanced and elegant as regards the current political climate. The original 3 remain so popular because they are what most great enduring stories are - a version of the Hero's quest archetype. Lucas lucked into getting the ILM guys going, some great actors to carry his inarguably terrible dialogue and you ended up with a classic sci-fi that can appeal to nearly anyone, independent of the era they were born in. Films that have something to say about a culture or political climate either don't endure well, or have other elements that keep them relevant once their own point in time has progressed. Logans Run, Capricorn One and Stepford wives, while all still retaining a message people can identify with, don't appeal as strongly now as they did at the time they were released because they were released into an audience particularly attuned to those issues. Capricorn One, especially, is a movie that should easily be appreciated in that regard but I doubt half the people who would applaud the nuance, complexity and intellectual ambiguity of the new SW movies have even seen or heard of it, and I wonder how many would identify with the political message it sends over the dismissal of conspiracy theories. There isn't even much message to the new movies. They didn't make me or anyone I know feel particularly uncomfortable about their role in society. The Trade Federation and Republic didn't mirror much of anything. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson didn't leave a lasting impression the way Alec Guinness and Harrison Ford did, and Christopher Lee didn't have enough screen time to lend the kind of awesome James Earle Jones did to the original trilogy. FX were not new by 1999, and the fact is, if you're going to write a story with "nuance, complexity, or intellectual ambiguity" it needs to be written well to be considered a good story (Unless you're Cormac Mccarthy and bludgeon your readers with punctuation abuse and stupidly brutal social commentary until they think you're a genius) and Star Wars is about as straightforward a premise as it gets. Dark vs Light. Really, how did someone think deviating from that "dangerously simplistic moral absolutism" was a good idea? It's like taking the chocolate flavor out of chocolate and replacing it with subtle hints of lime, aromatic chives and tomato soup. It's chocolate. People freaking want chocolate. You can mix other things in with chocolate, but when you get right down to it, they don't buy reeses peanut butter cups for the peanut butter. If that's too simplistic then too bad since I am almost out of time to kill.

That's like saying we shouldn't blame people for going on rampaging killing sprees because guns are so easy to come by and cops don't try hard enough to keep them out of circulation, so the correct response is to buy a hand gun and get 'em first. Really, there is a way to circumnavigate anything. Your actions are your own responsibility. I don't care enough to invest the time to report people who violate a naming policy on an RP server or use a speed hack in a video game, but that doesn't absolve them their own choice to be d-bags about it.
