  1. Basically title. When I use a dye on a companion's chest armor, the "Unify to Chest Color Theme" option doesn't have any effect. I haven't tried using outfitter for a player character yet since the update, only companions, but it isn't working for multiple companions I've tried.
  2. Dear God no Endor. One Ewok is quite enough. Of the ones listed, I would like to see Kashyk. Really any worlds with unique landscapes that make for nice scenery gets my vote.
  3. Generally speaking, I always over-level class and planet content starting soon after I get my ship. It's pretty much to the point where just about every class and planet mission for me is gray except for some of the planetary bonus content that out-levels the rest of the planet by a good 5-10 levels.
  4. For me, the Sith storylines just seemed more interesting than the Jedi storylines (at least the first few in the starting planets). Sith: Fight your way to the top of your class, staving off deadly rivals and exploring ancient tombs with vicious beats and awakened horrors. Jedi: Help other padawans with their math homework and give them medicine. Obviously, this is oversimplified example, but the point is I just found the Sith story to be more engaging and interesting than the Jedi. I also find the other Sith you interact with to be more interesting characters, whereas most of the other Jedi you encounter are rather boring. I'm also a bigger fan of the scenery on Korriban and Dromund Kaas than the Jedi areas (although Coruscant is impressive I must say).
  5. A way to purchase Cartel Coins in game would've been pointless to have in the game at release considering Cartel Coins didn't come along until months later when the sub model fell on its' face.
  6. For those of you challenging Sir Copperfield's assertions that he has the most achievement points and is the biggest Gaming Legend in the history of either Gaming or Legends, let me explain it in terms you should understand. Sir Copperfield . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . you. The sooner you accept this reality, the easier your existence will be.
  7. My understanding is that romantic attachment was forbidden by the Jedi not because romance is in and of itself a "dark side" characteristic, but that the attachment may lead to other emotions which may eventually lead one to the dark side. So DS-point-wise, I don't think being in a romance should give dark-side points just by itself, but I would think certain conversation choices you make while in a romance (such as indicating jealousy or fear of losing your partner) would give DS points. Just my two credits. (Edited for grammar)
  8. I would love this, not just for the replay value, but for the opportunity to play through the entire class story consecutively without having to do other content in between and take days/weeks/months (depending how much you play that character) to see the whole class story play out. You can't get nearly enough XP from class missions to level just by doing them, as your class missions will quickly outlevel you, so you have to do other things to level (non-class missions, fps, warzones, etc) and "interrupt' your class story. To keep with the movie theme, the way it is right now, class stories are more like an episodic TV show series, and by the time you get to the later episodes or the finale, you may have forgotten exactly how some things played out along the way because there's been a lot of time pass and you've done/seen so many other things. In this situation, you may not get the full appreciation for how hell the entire story flowed together and all the developments and nuances of the story arc. I would love the opportunity to play through the story as a movie, rather than a TV show series and get that experience in such a way that you can really appreciate the development of your character's story from lowly beginnings to grandiose heights.
  9. If it was not for the story part of the game, I would not be playing. Not to say I don't enjoy other aspects of the game, because I do, but the interactive story aspect is what sets TOR apart from other games for me. I only space bar past dialogue if it's something I've done repeatedly (such as basic non-class missions on low-level planets), and that's not even always the case because I'm doing them with new characters (thus the dialogue always has new quirks). When it comes to dialogue in FPs, I am perfectly okay with a group wanting to space bar through if it's something a group has done before, but if it's anyone's first time through (especially mine) I want them to be able to experience that element of the game without the other members of the group getting huffy about it. Personally, I was very disappointed when it was announced the Makeb did not include new class story content, as the class story is to me the most in-depth and engrossing content in the game. I understand the financial ramifications of adding new class story for all 8 classes as opposed to just one story for all classes, and that the former just wasn't feasible in the financial shape the game was in at the time, but with the success of the CM I'm hoping the book isn't closed (so to speak) on any future class-specific story archs.
  10. This guy gets it. You piss off subs by making the game increasingly revolve around the Cartel Market, then try to appease them by giving them Cartel Coins? That would be like me calling my wife fat, then offering to take her out for a salad with fat free dressing and a water to apologize. I get that the CM is here to stay and I've accepted that as the way things are, but this was just tacky. Also, I have to wonder if the coin grant was the plan all along or if it was the quickest solution they could come up with working by the seat of their pants once people inquired about it. Last week, when the impending surprise for subs was brought up in the forum, they said they couldn't announce anything but to watch our emails for something soon. After reading the response, I remarked that the whole thing felt like they made a promise they hadn't put much thought into, then either forgot about it or pushed it to the back-burner, only to realize that subs aren't as forgetful, so they had to come up with something in a hurry as a CYA move. A few days later, it seems my assessment was correct, because there was obviously no grand plan here.
  11. I vote Darth Plagueis. He killed Tenebrous and was all like "Darth Bane blah blah blah Rule of Two blah blah blah." He recruited Sidious and all through his training he was all like "Darth Bane blah blah blah Rule of Two blah blah blah." Then he started getting older and realized that Sidious was passing him in power so then he started experimenting with immortality and telling Sidious "Yeah we're just going to be equals forever and you can make me Co-Emporor and we can be BFFs since Darth Bane and the Rule of Two were overrated and we're smarter than that." Seriously, what Sith apprentice is going to fall for that?
  12. Maybe I'm just cynical, but I read that paragraph as being a polite, flowery, somewhat tongue-in-cheek way of saying "We have no idea what the surprise is yet and totally forgot about it until you guys reminded us about it" :Prepares to lower expectations:
  13. This has always bothered me as well. We're supposed to accept that she died of a broken heart and felt like she had lost everything so she basically just gave up wanting to live....except she had two newborn children depending on her. As a husband I can understand how someone could be so depressed losing a spouse who essentially became a monster, but as a father I can't imagine giving up the will to live when your children are depending on you. Unless, of course, she had testicular cancer and they just didn't know it at the time.
  14. The novel wasn't bad by any means, but I found myself a little disappointed because I had very high expectations. I actually found myself enjoying Scourge's part of the story more than Revan's. Although in fairness, I regularly find myself enjoying Sith-centric stories more than Jedi.
  15. Already suggested earlier, but i have to second the Darth Bane trilogy. While i have to admit I'm a little biased towards Sith-centric stories, the Bane trilogy is my favorite of all the SW books I've read. For someone new to the books, I'd also reccomend "Dark Lord," which follows Darth Vader in his first days after becoming Vader and suffering his burns, as well as the story of some of the Jedi that were stranded out in the Galaxy after Palpatine ordered the clones to turn on them. I think this is a good one for beginners to the book series because it takes some characters and events you're already familiar with and helps fill in some of the gap between Episodes III and IV, while at the same time introducing you to some of the depth you get to experience in the books that just isn't there in the movies.
