Not true, it's effective immediately when you preorder. My level 1 agent went to level 4 after the first class mission, and the one after that is going to give 12k xp...

I show The Harbinger with LIGHT population, estimated wait time of less than 20 minutes. Begeren Colony with STANDARD population, wait of less than 10 minutes. Tried to log on to Begeren Colony about 5 min ago and was placed in the queue--#66 atm.

This has happened twice so far, on the same character (lvl 28 sentinel) on the Shadowlands. Both (not consecutive) times I logged out with the toon in my Nar Shaddaa stronghold, and when I logged back in, I was at Tython and Ord Mantell Departures on Carrick Station. Doesn't happen all the times, hasn't happened to any of my other toons (yet). Anyone else seen this happen?

Myself and some others are having login issues, specifically when switching to a different server within the game. Here's more detail: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=757401 Posting here to (hopefully) get an increased visibility...

Hi everyone, First off, I'm not even sure if this is a bug, or something else to do with my laptop. I'm only posting here because this happens only with SWTOR. When I type in the password at the login screen, nothing shows up in the password field. Then if I click anywhere on the login screen window, then the characters will appear. Same with the Security Key field. So the typed password and security key codes get entered OK, they just don't display on their respective fields until the login screen window is clicked on or moved. I'm just curious as to what could possibly be causing this. My thought at first was that it had something to do with video driver, but this only happens with SWTOR. The laptop is a 2-month old i7 with 12GB ram, SSD boot drive, and GeForce GTX760M card, with the latest GeForce driver. Again, this may have nothing to do with SWTOR. I'd just appreciate any insight. Thank you.

While we're at it, and assuming the expanded view stays, it'd be kinda cool to show in the background (in the distance) the comps that have been unlocked...

I'd love to see a Chat option that allows us to filter out/ignore any post that has any of the gold farmers' website addresses in it. There seems to be only 3 or 4 big ones that are always spamming.

Happy birthday!

Congratulations Dulfy!

You could do that. Or, you could download and use an Android emulator for PC and run the security app that way.

[original post edited out] Did not realize this was a necro'ed thread--apologies for contributing to it.

Ha! Not even 2 minutes ago, I successfully r/e'ed the green Skill Armoring 11... after about 10 tries. On the same toon, r/e'ing green resolve armoring 18 took about 25 tries. Again, on the same toon, while these were going on (in the past 2-3 days), I r/e'ed earpieces and mods and other amorings, sometimes on the 1st try, sometimes on 3rd, etc. I'd say it's working as it's supposed to.

Thank you for the update, Eric, and for all your work.

Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate it!

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out if there'll be a comm gear update with the 2.7 patch, specifically if there'll be a bump up, so that elite comms will buy 78 gear, basic 72 gear, etc. Does anyone know if there's been any official word on this? Thanks in advance for any help.

For me it's really no different than any other recurring social interactions I partake in. Have played Monopoly and Scrabble and Poker and whatnot gazillion times, but still play them, because of the people I game with. I have fun running with guildies and even pugs and meeting new people.

Buy one, unlock it in your Collection, have it for all your toons everywhere forever.

It was AWESOME--thank you so much for organizing it. It was my first open world PvP event and I had a blast. I was on the imp side with my guildmates and we all had a great time. Thank you!

You can pay for a six-month sub at a time and get 600cc per month, AND the monthly fee is reduced to $12.99. Add on a free security app for iPhone or Android (or a PC emulator) for another 100cc a month, and you get 700cc a month for $12.99.

Time for some Friday levities... what are your favorite funny lines from the game? I have two: 1. IA Ops infiltrating a meeting disguised as a droid: "Sorry, is this meeting for terrorists only?" 2. Imperial class on Taris, cutting Thana Vesh off: "The Emperor's calling, Thana, I should really take that call." What are yours?

This happens to me if I switch to the Harbinger server from another server I was playing on. Then clicking on the "Play" button next to the character does nothing. However, when I restart the client and it auto-loads to the Harbinger server, then all toons are playable--including logging in and out and switching to a different toon on that server. But as soon as I switch over to a different server and then come back, the same thing happens and I have to restart the client. So, in short, restarting the client has been working for me. Annoying, but at least I can play the toons on the server.

This is just an advice, take it for what it's worth. You might find it beneficial in the long run to mainly focus one character to bring him/her to level 55. Making credits becomes much, much easier once you hit 50+ and can run dailys. With all the new dailies Bioware has been adding to the game, you can easily make 600k+ with a single lvl 55 toon doing just the dailies (and selling drops) in a day. Looking at your signature, you have lots of low- to mid-level alts spread over different servers; of course one plays as one wants to for his/her fun and entertainment, but I just wanted to point out that there are some financial benefits to having a 55.

They are bound to you for 36 hours, after which you can sell them on GTN. When you hover the mouse over the item, it gives you a countdown of hours before it becomes unbound.
