  1. This is the guy who starts the Tatooine bonus series (for the Republic anyway): http://swtor.wikia.com/wiki/Galen_Besk He's located in the spaceport lobby, next to the Tatooine story arc guy. You don't need to do the planetary arc to get his mission, but you do need to do your class story for the planet.
  2. Sorry, I kind of wrote that and went to bed. Yeah, I've been trying to holler around and gather people, but it seems that everyone who wanted to finish Legendary did it back in August. My playtimes are also inconvenient since I'm EU, but somehow I figured three days would be enough. It wasn't. I actually heard about the GSF channel yesterday, but unfortunately at such a late hour that it did me absolutely no good. I'd queue right now if I didn't have to be in class in an hour, and by the time I get back, maintenance will have started, and I'm out.
  3. I'm reluctant to post this as I don't like to complain, but someone told me I should - that it might matter if many share the same experience. Basically, I've been queued for starfighter matches for three days more or less non-stop. Not a single pop. Because of this requirement, I won't be able to finish Dark vs. Light - it is literally the one thing I'd need. Yeah, guess I should've thought of server transfers before tonight - Ebon Hawk isn't really good for much of anything - but frankly, an achievement like this should not cost anyone real money. Yeah, I'm bitter.
  4. Had the same issue from about last Friday to this Monday - three characters stuck in SH, inaccessible. Had to burn my completed bounty contracts to get a legacy weapon, since one of those three had all my legacy weapons and I had no idea when to expect a fix. Have now had most of my characters (about 15 out of 22) stuck in SH for 24 hours, including all but one of my 65s, and all of my crafters. Can do practically nothing in the game. A week of free game time or something would go a long way towards making me less mad about this, because this is a complete waste of my subscription (which has been there nonstop since launch).
  5. - More orange gear options. - Weapon preview. - MORE CHARACTER SLOTS!
  6. "Idiotwind Hatter", of Trask Ulgo the last time I saw him. Also "Captain Jonshipfast".
  7. I tend not to apply to "Heavy RP" guilds, and if I end up in one, I certainly discourage the use of that term. I'm not entirely surprised it's become synonymous with ERP in certain circles and/or on certain servers, and I'll probably shy even further away from it now that I know that, even though I personally have nothing against ERP. I've always found the term a bit silly, and never really understood why it has to be used. The guilds tagging themselves "Heavy RP" aren't usually any more serious, mature or even RP-focused than any other guilds. It seems like a pretentious way of saying "We're better than everyone else, our RP is shinier than everyone else's", when in fact it's often the other way around; what I've usually found when involving myself in RP with such guilds is elitism, nitpicking and ridiculous pathos. People who completely forget that RP is first and foremost for fun. That lore can be interpreted in several different ways. That sitting in a cantina moaning about your minimum wage job kinda defeats the point of RP - getting away from the boring and the everyday. In my experience, the words to describe the best RP guilds are such as "flexible", "inclusive", "fair" and, to some extent, "loud". Not "heavy."
  8. Well, in real life terms, Kaliyo is pretty much pansexual and polyamorous. And you can actually suggest that SHE should sleep with someone, even after boinking her a few times. Not wrong, not evil, actually quite fun with the consent of everyone involved.
  9. Anyone can convert. Anyone. And I, for one, will accomplish this by levelling a (pureblood) character to 50, deleting him, and rerolling him as a Jedi. Keeping the other pureblood (Inquisitor) character I have, of course, because she's no convert. I WANT it to be hard, and I'll make it hard on myself, but I'll also do my damnedest to play one so well nobody will have cause to complain.
  10. A couple of deaths - 3 or 4, I can't remember - netted me a 30k repair bill after hard mode EV. I sucked it up no problem, 'cause at least half of those deaths were my own damn fault. I don't see a problem here.
  11. I entirely endorse the OP. There's literally nothing in this game that I'd wish more for than additional character slots. Having rolled a male Smuggler to offset the awful romance story of the female one, I'm now forced to entirely forgo one class, which in my case ended up being the Trooper. I would dearly love to stick to one server, but with the current restrictions, that's just not possible.
  12. He sure does. I play a male IA, partly because I'm sick of the lack of flirt options for ALL the females, partly because Kaliyo is fascinating. And yes - by 26 I've had every chance to woo the pants off even Darths, if it weren't for the fact that I quest with a friend. Seems they get shy when you're grouped.
  13. I think I've said this a thousand times in different mediums, but here's my two credits: There is no such thing as a perfect Jedi. Regardless of how one interprets the Code - and ultimately, the "correct" way of doing that is up to the current Council - no single person can follow its tenets to the letter. And there are temptations; to love, but also to hate, take revenge and hold grudges. My own Jedi is a violent, martial man who believes in the justice of the sword (or lightsaber), and in many ways, that is so much worse than loving. Jedi have passions and personalities, and try as they might to control them, there are times when they inevitably lose. There are compromises and precarious steps towards the Dark side, but an otherwise good Jedi falling in love has a long way to go to utter Darkness.
  14. One thing I see missing from this game as well as all others is curly hair. Tight curls, loose curls, waves - anything.
  15. Was drunk as a sheep one night, and dinged 25 on my Jedi Sentinel. Bought him a speeder, decided to run around the Fleet going "WHEEEE" because for some reason, it amused me at the time. It was short-lived, for I came to realise you can actually fall through the holes between the catwalks in the GTN section and die. - - - - - - And finally... I joined a guild at level 42, and dinged 50 four or five days later. Because due to unfortunate circumstances I'm forced to play on mobile broadband, I hadn't expected to do anything with the guild until much, much later. Instead, as a freshly dinged 50, they drag my laggy backside into every possible operation in the game, despite the fact I had no clue of tactics and my dps must've been abysmal. I won nine pieces of epic loot in that one night, plus a number of new friends. And they insist I come again despite being rubbish. It's people like this that make MMO's so much better than single-players. <3
  16. Someone mentioned Numen Brock (Smuggler) in an earlier post. I couldn't agree more. That's one WASTED twi'lek right there! That said: - A genuine Force-using companion for each of the classes that don't use the Force. No, Guss Tuno doesn't count. - More stories (sort of) like Jaesa's, where you can directly affect the companion's personality through your own. - Two romance options for each class and gender, one Light side, the other Dark (or at least one or both ambiguous; not both the same). - Same-gender romance options (I won't say more, there's a different thread for this sort of things). - More bromance! (Or sismance, at that.) - The possibility to choose your crew. As the number of available companions increases, I don't think the number of people on your ship should increase with it, but instead, you should be able to take some of them with you and leave others behind, with the possibility to switch later (which should not be made too easy). For example, send Corso back to his farm on Ord Mantell.
  17. A couple of points. Firstly, a number of people have taken the OP's post and gone all "omg u cant comapre jedi with others cus their liek monks!" But the OP never compared a female Jedi to a female anything else; she compared her female Jedi to a male Jedi, and having played a male Jedi Sentinel myself (currently level 26), I can indeed vouch that I've had a fair few flirt options already. None of which I've taken, but that's a character thing, not a story thing. Secondly, an argument has been brought up that nobody cares how a man appears, but if a woman flirts with someone, she'll look like a [promiscuous woman], and that'll make her sad and ashamed. To this I say: screw 'em. What do I care if someone thinks my character looks like a [promiscuous woman]? If that's her personality, then that's her personality, and it won't have any bearing on how I appear as a person. I understand voice acting costs a lot of money, but aside from that money being quite possible to allocate more fairly, frankly, the storylines themselves (which are a lot cheaper!) could do with a bit of modernisation. Women should have the opportunity to be a little promiscuous, even if they choose not to take it, without fearing undue consequences. Thirdly, and possibly most importantly: a great number of male players make female characters. Some for the standard reason of having the chance to stare at a prettier [set of buttocks], but for others it's a choice out of curiosity; they want to experience the story from a female point of view. These men (especially if they're a bit older than 15) like seeing well-rounded personalities and complete stories as much as the smaller, female playerbase does. Or, looking at it the other way around: isn't thinking that a man only plays a game to get his rocks off to some airhead NPC something of an insult to male intelligence, and a poor, bland stereotype in itself? Men can think. And women can want sex. Neither is wrong, I'd say both are desirable. Edit: Bioware doesn't like me talking dirty.
  18. Just as an aside, people keep saying female Smugglers get the most flirt options. That may be the case - my main is a female Smuggler, and the rest of my characters are all pretty low level, so I can't compare from personal experience. But I do feel like I need to point out that even as a female Smuggler, you're not "supposed" to flirt. Meaning, every time you do, you lose affection with your most useful (and most annoying) companion, who also happens to be your only romance option. Also, the game loves to punish a woman for sleeping around. So yeah, maybe you could roll a "fun" female Smuggler, but at the cost of significant affection at the very least until you get your second companion, which is around level 30. This has irked me throughout the levels, and hearing that it's even worse for the other classes makes me seethe. I don't need a game to moralise me. In this day and age, a girl should be just as entitled to sleep with who, and how many, she ever wants.
  19. Seriously, you call me sad and proceed to say things like that?
  20. I'm a woman, and I find Corso an insult to my intelligence.
  21. I can't say how glad I am to find this thread. I'm not alone! No, I don't quite hate Corso with the passion of some of the posters here (OP included) but I do dislike him a lot. It's not the chivalry. I'm a woman, in a relationship with a man who's just as chivalrous, and I find it refreshing and endearing. Being old-fashioned is not a crime, but combined with blind idealism and the whole cowboy thing... Corso is so disgustingly all-American and frankly DUMB that I cringe at the thought of romancing him. Consider the kind of girls who might end up as smugglers in the Star Wars universe. Are those the kind of girls who'd get tied down with marriage and kids and a bloody picket fence? These girls fly starships through asteroid fields, bomb the living daylights out of Imperials, shoot people in the face at point blank range... This is not marriage material. Corso will learn it the hard way when he eventually gets that far. One of the two things that REALLY bug me about Corso is his complete inability to deal with terrain. I jump off a cliff, he circles it and pulls everything on the way down. I cross a doorstep and shoot at something, only to discover that he's stuck because doorsteps are scary. I pick up a scavenging node close to some baddies, he walks up to it, pulls the baddies, walks back and THEN tries to scavenge the damn thing. I avoid a pack of mobs by skirting a tight corner, he runs straight into them, and here we go again. If your companions could even follow directly behind you, that'd be a big damn help! Annoying thing number two - and this is probably the biggest - is of course that he's the only possible romance option for a female smuggler. Sure, I get to flirt with some NPC's, but there's no longevity or story there. Despite being straight, I'm really eyeing Risha in a very meaningful way. I've got four Republic characters, one of each class. My jedi knight doesn't much care for the Code, but he's been so badly burned he'll never love anyone again. My jedi consular LIVES for the Code, and will never love anyone, period. Trooper I just find an incredibly boring class to play. What this means is, because I can't bring myself to do anything with Corso, I'm leaving an entire (fascinating!) aspect of the game unexplored. God, I'd romance Guss Tuno if I could!
  22. As someone who fell in love with a Brit largely because of his voice... HELL YES!
