Yea imagine the opposite was possible and you just realised that your companion has stabbed you (according to the combat log available in patch 1.2) while you went afk for a coffee. In the current client version you cant know who killed you when you arrive. Some people claims this is already happening indirectly when the companion breaks all your cc during combat.

Anyone cought any info regarding the fleet design or interactive / dynamic events in patch 1.2 ?

As answer to the 101-button gamers in this thread; Here's a good thread which shows the game is playable with a console controller: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=229915

Seeming people are playing the game with their console controller, check my thread supporting this concept: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=321713

Thread before official info was given away over animal mounts: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=3103719#post3103719

It looks like they're gonna add animal mounts in patch 1.2+, is that true ? I'll start saving some credits for them cool animal mounts!

Besides the missing of beast / animal mounts I haven't noticed any wheeled mounts either besides of a few uncontrollable stationary tanks. Limiting the players with hover only mounts is just a missed opportunity for BW while they have so many maps with rally cross suiting terrains or animal / beast ride fitting environments parallel to the movies. Rally cross or ATV style mounts and driving experience while I move from one quest to another on maps like Hoth.. thats what I miss and stopped questing because of boring hover rides.

The game is playable with the w-a-s-d, space and mouse buttons only. So the 101 key example is just

Make it SWTOR vs LOTRO vs GW2 (Closed) Beta.. The last one has the best (character creation) graphics for sure. I'm not sure if I am allowed link this, but here it is: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/guild-wars-2-news/closed-beta-test-coverage/

Intel > AMD on most games performance wise, take a look at various benchmarks. So clearly most people here complaining about low fps bla or performance issues are the AMD owners. Congrats with your i5 processor. I got i7 myself and no performance issues.

Well I paid Sony 299 euros to become an owner of a great handheld console. I'm not gonna ask how much you received from its concurrents to provocate.

It is not a secret devs. pay more attention or favor the dark / horde side on mmo's.

Yea I was thinking about the same thing :-P.. another concern for the devs. to program something as a clean-the-floor ability for your comp. or a droid.

Implementing animal / beast rideable mounts will balance the game in terms realism and is at the same time parallel to the original movies. Currently everything feels pretty much high-tech, robotized and hover craft. Change / additions are needed. It's also a good reason for the mount collectors to keep subscribed and who are looking forward to be able to ride living things instead of devices.

Well at least the space combat missions would be cool on the Vita imo. The controller factor and sixaxis would be a big advantage. I currently think very less players are completing the combat misions because it feels not comfortable for a mouse + keyboard style gameplay.

Well I hope to see changes in patch 1.2 on the fleet design and atmosphere to make it feel like a more alive place.. Maybe more npc activities and interactivity possibilities for players to make the place less boring to stay, so i.e. I have to do less ALT+TAB when im on warzone queue.

Is there any news yet on when patch 1.2 is getting released ? The game lacks a lot features in its current state and there is too many loading screens that I cba to face it. I stopped playing untill the patch comes and give it a final shot wether to freeze my account or not.

Did I miss a detail or are there any animal / beast mounts in the game you can earn on a later level or via achievement unlocks ? I have been questing and exploring on many maps in the game and all I saw was people on those boring speeders. As far as I remember of the SW movies beast mounts were there and used by Han Solo to save young Skywalker on an icy planet, probably Hoth.

Why the designers have choosen a full symetric design for the most important or visited locations of the game and the lead designer(s) agreed with this? Their possible clarification on this however must be something like it will make players easier to find and remember their sections, vendors or class specific destinations. But for me as a more critic gamer than average it is not just as simple and convincing like that.. For those people who haven't noticed yet. Just take a look at the map (press M) on either Republic or Imperial fleets. You will see that there has been a numerous iterations copy > paste of a 90 degree base design applied for the other 3/4th part of the map. Inside this 90 degree base design there is again a four multiply copy / paste iteration applied. The most shamefull part of this is that both faction fleet designs are identical except a few cosmetic changes.

Since a few days I aint using any elevator, airship or fly route anymore, but just my speeder to travel from one section to the other on the rep fleet. After using my emergency fleet pass on hoth to drop some rare items on gtc I just didnt feel like taking those steps to travel back to my unfinished questing zone.. yes its those loading screens I just had enough of it and im avoiding it for now. So the only thing im just doing as of lvl-46 is just hang around in the rep fleet while I queue for warzones and alt-tab in the meantime to do other stuff untill the queue pops, and no I'm not an afk-er after entering a warzone. I always endup in the top-3 summary tables even in my current tank spec .

What's all this about.. where did you copy / paste those from ?

Let's have rainbow lightsabers and everyone gets the colour they wish to have.

Heh

In the SW movies weak minded beings were able to be mind controlled by jedi masters. Is this an ability you learn at lvl-50 ? So for example if I apply this on an enemies companion and let him fight against its owner. Is this possible ?

Servers merge won't come in the next few months and the reason for that is a potential patch 1.2 being launched in a few weeks. This may cause the current heavy servers become full again at peak hours and if this remains stable afterwards BW can't avoid a free character transfer to light populated aka "ghost" servers. In that order server populations will be balanced and server merge wont be neceserry.
