You do realize they take less on the front end, but more on the back end, don't you?I think it's good the market is becoming more free, it serves us well in the real world it should serve us well in the virtual one -
Hate it. It encourages frivolous selling and unrealistic asking prices. It should require some thought and some research before you put an item up. Combined with the glut of apparently unwanted rare crafting items from the gambling boxes, I am not happy about the impact to the GTN. Just barely related, but the ctr-leftclick item preview of items on GTN is broken for some companions.
I know BW was under tremendous pressure to get the cartel shop out there and give the new model a try, but as someone who liked to use the GTN I can't say I like the impact it has had.

Glad I could helpHah! Thanks! I didn't realize this and just found out I could buy the rocket boots thing I've seen people using in Flashpoints. Now I can zoom around too! -
Depending on what you want, some of the items unlock with Legacy Level OR Coins OR Credits. Your choice. Click on anything that has a Cartel Coin icon in the corner and you should see these choices.Thanks for the info. I didn't even think much about the legacy until I read this post, just created it. Not much to unlock for me at the moment but I suppose I can save up the coins for it later. -
Holy shyte. I better take another look at the EULA. Is it 5.5 years and then you earn rights, or are they pro-rated so you can get some lesser rights after 4 years??I earned my rights. I gave the united stated of America 5.5 yrs of my life in the USN. I was in the gulf escorting tankers on my FFG after the Stark insident and During the Vincennes insident. We had iranian speed boats armed with rpgs and 50 cal machine guns more than capable of hulling a naval vessal. I know about service and not having time off with my family. I worked an online service. I understand about not having time with ones family. I have personal experience. I know what I am speaking about. I know what sacrifice is. Do you?You are a very bitter person from the tone of your writing.

I found the most useful stuff you can buy with coins is not in the market at all. Look at the legacy unlocks, eg. rocket boost, mailbox for your ship, etc. Look there. If you really want gear, then see if any of the armor is to your liking or the orange crystals will be best in slot for any sub 50 toon. Lemme think... the Outlaw's armor looks pretty good except the helm. It's also got some flexibility to it, as fashionable black boots, pants, and gloves might come in handy if you mix and match later on.
Nothing else is all that exciting and the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

Don't buy the gambling boxes! You might think you are going to end up looking like Darth Nihilus in a levitation throne with white lightsabers. But odds are you will end up being another shirtless doofus in invisible armor with a pink lightsaber. The former now gluts the GTN for a few thousand credits, the latter is glitched and can't even be sold. We don't even know those odds, which makes it a pretty poor gamble, and the odds can be tweaked up or down on a whim.

Jaesa won't turn off her lightsaber whether it's holstered or not. It just pokes out of the top of her head.

I will think of you next labor day. Right alongside police, firemen, EMTs, and the dying breed of American factory workers... and the guy who cried nerd tears because BW didn't, in his expert opinion, live up to the high standards he learned at AOL.no really
*shakes head*

LOL. You know how it's done cuz AOL wrote the book on customer service, amirite? Argument from authority is a logical fallacy. Argument from AOL is bewildering to say the least.Your crass attitude is not appriciated. I know full well how things are done during the holidays in a 24/7 net service. I was a producer at AOL back when it was a stand alone online service in the 90s. My daily job had nothing to do with working with the public. During the holidays, I was in rotation to answer questions concerning the properties my specific channel owned and load the main news rotation to the launch screen. I did this via VPN access over a modem. The point is in a online service industry it is common practice to have people rotate into key visible posistions to maintain customer satisfaction. They could easily have a forum moderator to field questions and rotate this each day to give some semblance of visibility. -
Seems the pink purple does what it should... Strikes horror into your foes. BTW, why can't it be sold on GTN even thought it is not bound? People constantly spam chat with them as a result.
-
You are right. It's simple marketing. It's worded as if to avoid backlash from cynical subscribers rather than to attract new people. A happy medium should have been found.
-
That would show complete disregard for me, a paying customer, who gives them such awesome development ideas for free when I really should be charging them.What if they gave you Candy Cane colored light sabers instead? -
I only want to see it succeed if the lead developer contacts me personally, and agrees that I can play a pink furred Ewok wearing Revan's pajamas, hood down, wielding a pair of white and purple striped light sabres, for free plus unlimited cartel coins. Then again, if he agrees, I'll have to assume I could have asked for even more... so still no.

I just thought I'd share this story... I logged on last night mainly to check out the GTN. I had huge, huge lag. The kind where the game sends you to your own personal Imperial Fleet gulag, and you have to stand alone and motionless waiting for the final kick back to the server screen. I restarted, and it happened again. Checked my connection and everything came up OK, yet it happened again.
Then I started thinking about hordes of F2Pers starting out, and incompetent BW having no idea how to handle the additional tax on the servers. I had a big ol’ rant brewing on the nerd range. I was going to QQ and threaten and cry salty nerd tears all over the forum and I know damn well I’d have had a chorus of support for blaming all my frustrations on F2P and BW.
For no good reason, because I already knew who to blame, I did a tracert. Instead of the proof I was looking for, I had a horror show moment like in When a Stranger Calls… the lag was inside the house. The why and the how is above my head, but my wireless card was reporting a good connection even though it wasn’t “N” or 5GHz. There’s nothing wrong with a 2.4GHz network per se, except when you know you aren’t running one. I reinstalled my Intel drivers, restarted, and the whole problem went away.
I expect a lot of witch hunting and futile nerd rage… like the kind I narrowly avoided Oh, and the massive devaluing of GTN items as attention and the initial glut of coins goes to the cartel market.

I don't think marauders can even make angry faces at mobs more than 10 meters away.

Telling someone they don't deserve a job for such trivial reasons is not respectful. It's also not rational. This isn't a decision maker, this is someone doing what they are told to do under the tough conditions of trying to satisfy some very obnoxious customers. Respectfully, show us how unhappy you are and QQ.Afterwards come back here, and tell us the info. Respectfully, you may as well not work at Bioware at all with the responses you give. -
I know it's not the solution everyone is looking for, but it does work. A few head pieces will cause the hood to toggle down (which also tells us the toggle is already in game, just no interface for it.) Ctr-left-click your way through what's available until you find one. I can think of one example off the top of my head: the adaptable social armor on Hoth includes a headband that causes hoods to toggle down.

Is it worth it to begin with? Lets say you program your perfect opening combo. Then you get into a boss fight and something unexpected happens like you get knocked back, or in PvP you get rooted. You'll end up futilely running through your combo and all the abilities on cool down. Programmable input devices have been around forever, but I've never found them even as useful as key bindings.Hi I'm using the Razer Swtor naga and am wondering if using the macro recording feature would violate the SWTOR Terms and conditions -
New armor, just for the novelty of it. I've gotten bored looking at the armor I've been using for my toon and his companions.
.
I won't be gambling on the random packs. What a frustrating credit sink that is going to be.

I don't know if they report actual numbers. You can monitor this page page though: http://www.swtor.com/server-status.
-
Of course you can't! You have some research to do first.Thanks for advise guys, still cant make up mind on what to get. -
Nowadays even Dellienware has poor after-the-sale service. High initial quality is the best you can hope for, but anybody will be hating life if they get into a situation where they need timely help from the manufacturer. That's why I recommend reviews as an invaluable tool. And you are right, newegg will usually at least replace something for you.

It's a simple fashion question, not a contest to see who knows the least about women.

The Intel 4000 is supposed to be smart enough to switch transparently for you. Frankly, if it is not switching, you will know because the game will be unplayable with the on board graphics. If you want to be absolutely sure though, pull up the nVidia control panel and find the options for GPU switching by program. Make sure SWTOR is set for auto switch, or if you want, set it manually to the nVidia card.
