[Game Lag]

I don't know if there is a thread for this yet, but I'd like to address this issue.

 

Ever since the last major patch, my game has slowed down quite a bit. If it was just me, I'd attribute it to my lack of hardware, but people who have pretty advanced comps have said the same. I was wondering if there is something I could do myself, or if it was just some, I don't know, "bug" I guess that will get fixed.

 

I'd appreciate any kind of help anyone could give me, cuz I don't know ****.

[How do you change your legacy name??]

While I can see where allowing you to change your char name at will could get troubling; that's how they log your character, and every character that has Friended you would need to know you changed the name, or lose track of you, but I don't think the Legacy Surname has anything to do with BW's records keeping, and my friend still shows up as just his character name when I click him, not with the Legacy name, or his titles. The Legacy name is just there to be there, and therefore, changing it once, or changing it four times a day, shouldn't really be a problem, anymore than changing your equipment.

 

I can see why they wouldn't want will-nilly char name swaps, and the AC is a big amount of mess, though only for the character/player, but cosmetic things, like your appearance, and Legacy Surname, are just extras, and have no impact on the game, or Bioware's files, and should be allowed. I very much appreciated that WoW had barbers, and allowed me to change my face, even if my race, gender, and such were sealed. If you want me to feel a connection, and an RPG-esque relation, the character should grow, maybe change their hair, or grow a beard. I don't want my young Padawan to look like a grizzled, old wizard, but I wouldn't mind if that same character, 49 levels later, looked a bit more distinguished. In a game where so much has been implemented dealing with looks, and social gear, these little cosmetic extras almost seem like a no-brainer. If I have to go to Coruscant, and pay a Clerk of the Republic Court to change my Legacy name (gives it a bit of the real-life feel, minus the two-week wait, the newspaper article, and the court hearing), then I am okay with that. If I can earn a second Legacy, so some characters could have a different last name (not sure why Human Jedi Master Joran Starkiller and Kissai (Pureblood) Sith Lord Darth Pestilence (formerly Karia Starkiller) have the same last name, being two different species, and vile enemies), and select which "family" they are a part of at the prompt (how hard would it be to have two on the account?) I feel that would be very nice.
