best way to think about it is this. SWTOR was canon when it did not conflict with the story of the first three movies. putting what amounted to a death star above planets pretty much killed any chance of it being primary canon. The other stuff was minor like speeders on hoth, and such because better tech might have equaled speeders working the rebels on hoth were outlaws with low tech from an empire crashing. Could be someone did something to one of the Disney board of directors characters and they gave George Lucas back control of the primary canon. It could have been one of the investors for the films did not want something from the old republic in the movie. Only Disney and Lucas know what caused the shift to Expanded Universe. I'd guess that information falls under trade secrets too.

so I known there is a running joke about people getting sewed by the fat taken one for the team friend later in life suing their friends from high school but the last art pass is really sad. I mean seriously I know there was not a lot of those people playing before 3.0 but House Organa is got to be the funniest example of some one throwing a tantrum. Sorry I'm going to snicker at them and so is everyone who sees the old screen shots. They went through and beat every npc with an ugly stick. snicker... my guess someone got upset they were were not liked in school... and clearly this is why. Not because of look or creed but because childish people will act like little kids before they are re-taught how to behave by kids who are raised by decent people. I know from personal experience I raised my self when I did not have a baby sitter getting me to do naughty stuff. I'm temped to post all the old screen shots post this last art pass including the stuff from 1.0... some of the new art is really cool looking but while I do not belive in fat people hate, most of them are stuck that way because of bad choice along the way, but this is really entertaining that I really should share a before and after. The best part they had to re-do the whole castle organa because the way point got replaced. snicker. Someone should hand who ever made the change another cheese burger and grin out them. Make it as tasty as possible for irony. grin.

So you have to give props to the dev's working on the four point oh to fix the weird stuff that broke, so I was saving this for a funnier moment but since we do not have neutral Jedi yet just the eyes, I figure I'll post this for people to laugh at since there are a bunch on wookipeidia but no neutral ones yet. The neutral code as one of the keepers of truth saw it. There is passion and serenity, but you have to challenge anger and lust to keep them. Passion is love, not lust or anger. Victory come through the channeling of focus not blind rage or cold logic. Death comes to all but through the force we are renewed and reborn. Through our actions we change the force for light or darkness.

snicker so many people who have never played through the story. people just play the game the world events are how to get the interesting scenes... ilum was un triggered for six months where no one bothered to play though the story. six months anyone could have triggered that event. If you play the story ie your class story for the most pary you find out that half the time you are working for all three sides, the imps. the pubs, and the various other factions. every time you space bar a convo you lose a chance to see something interesting... snicker like the op, who does not even know that there is two chances to get lana beck and both are pub because a pub triggered the scene. There is a convo that was on the world that got detroied that would have been with someone no idea who the event was trigger by the time I got around to getting to that world. You'd have to ask the writters or the dev team. But every npc is played by a vo actor or actress who gets to chose the trigger that starts their naughty scene... grin though those may be going aways since I leaked too much info.

to heck with the affection titles I want to know about how you got the imp companion on your kinght's ship. I've got her in my stronghold but only knight companions in the exact same place on every character.

trunced for emphasis... I'm not going to defend or argue agaisnt descions made in the beta or alpha that was a long time ago and appently with different leads... but I do want to point out that unless you were an internal tester most of the test was on the first planet. We got to see aldraran and few other planets in some tests but most of the beta testers only got to run the inital planets. Unless there was a pool of testers prior to feb of 2011 that had access to everything. But I got to play on one of the dev's accounts after signing an NDA when I was living in Los Angeles. Then later I got my own account in may I think. Interesting that the lead dev is the Star Wars Galazy team that tried to tank SWTOR... or did backus move over to SWTOR before that mess? Not sure I can argue with the results of post 2.0 though...

the blue eyes can be gained by 100 percent light side need to check dark side effect in apperence tab to see them and buying the neutral eyes over rides the light side dark side choices so if you go slighty dark side having those as a choice might let you hide the dark side choices from most players... grin

to pass the torch on for five more people... http://www.swtor.com/user/ce/3jsj0 http://www.swtor.com/user/ce/3jsj1 not sure I'm going to wear story npc's that you do not earn in a flash point or op but just in case since so many people wanted codes I figure this will be five that work and if they post five more...

not to self bump but I found the old work file Life is the path you walk, Reality is your perception of it, and the rest is too long... and meaning is some where in between the two, so the meaning of life is how close you are to seeing the road you walk upon. ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ <╬:ΦЖ}Ξ{}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{§¶Ҝ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░) ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ <╬Ж|}Ξ{||}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{¶Ҝ§▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒) <╬Ж|}Ξ{||}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{¶Ҝ §▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒) <╬:ΦЖ}Ξ{}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{§¶Ҝ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░) <╬:ΦП}Ξ{}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{§¶ЖҜ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░) <╬◙:П}Ξ{}Ξ{}Ξ{|°¯°|Ξ|Ҝ ▒▓▌░)Ð ¶§¤©««¯¬±ÐĦΞΦЖЏПЯҜ▒▓▌░▐□◙ ℈∎█∎]]]]]]]]∎۞∎█╢▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓) ¶█╬╬╬╬╬╬°¯°█|{Ξ███████████████████████████████████) ╬ ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓) ||}╬{| ℈ ∎█]╬ ∎ ]]]]]]]]∎۞∎█╢▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓) ¶█╬╬╬╬╬╬°¯°█|{Ξ███████████████████████████████████) <╬:ΦП}Ξ{}Ξ{Ð}Ξ{§¶ЖҜ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░) Ξ{}Ξ}{Ξ{Ð}{Ξ ▒ ▒▓▌░ Ж Φ <╬◙:П}Ξ{}Ξ{}Ξ{|°¯°|Ξ|Ҝ ▒▓▌░)Ð ¶§¤©««¯¬±ÐĦΞΦЖЏПЯҜ▒▓▌░▐□◙

not sure how this got missed in five pages of comments but it should be interesting to see how it works out since you are not required to take the skill that matches your class grin. I had a leather work warrior so I could wear scale mail that was bind on acquire. Due to the Primary Stats being converted to the Mastery Stat, the following changes have been made to Augments: Armormechs can now craft Shield, Absorb, and Mastery Augments. Synthweavers can now craft Alacrity, Defense, and Critical Augments. Armstechs can now craft Accuracy, Endurance, and Power Augments. Armormech - mostly trooper and smuglers tech based armor shield generators, standing in place shield makes sense, absorb makes sense, mastery makes sense defense makes sense standing in place, crit makes sense auto tracking aim accuracy makes sense needed to hit bosses power makes sense modifies mastery ability endurance is now seperate at higher levels do we need two augs at end game? Synthweave - speed tanking and resistance tanking alacrity makes sense defense modifes armor waiting to see in action crit means when the boss moves on a melee char that crit misses accuracy makes sense needed to hit bosses power makes sense modifies mastery ability shield is tech ability assorb is standing tank ability maybe on guardians endurance is now seperate at higher levels do we need two augs at end game? Armstechs - makes weapons grin accuracy on the weapons everyone needs endurance - waiting to see how this setup in 4.0 power on weapons everyone needs so these are the only weapon makers this should be interesting change. New Resistive Armorings (Endurance) are now exclusive to Armormech. New Versatile Armorings (Mastery) are now exclusive to Synthweaving. ummm are there typos?

so I noticed when quoting a post the numbers might get messed up if your looking for your post and you try to be lazy start from someone else's post... broke it up, and psudo'd it, in case it calls the function strung together d o = newreply & p = NNNNNN

The thing is the names are reserved by players right now. What they could do is allow alias to McGuffen the account so that your player is locked to first name that is you. then you can earn a legacy. this is your surname unless they changed something since I had to create a new char. grin that was over three hundred days ago I looked at the saved in game mail. But anyway what Bioware could do is let people have say player name Happy and the surname or family name of McGuffen be addressed by an alias of McGuffen. Then using the rfc2277 or the more current unicode to say Å = A. Yes that is the A used in stargate. It's off the original rosetta stone grin a nod to the history and some of the more stupid things the source material had in it. But anyway this lets players have say fifty chars and let them be stored in the data base under the first character's name plus a second field. It likely would requiring moving the characters to a new server or something else equally task intensive, but then when ever you log on every char would be able to hear messages meant for them at their legacy or surname or what ever. I say use legacy since it has a level gate that the first char has to meet. Clearly they would have to make sure someone was not using unicode to make letters look like other letters and people would have to make chars with numbers in their names or weird punctuation as that would be what the script resolves to. or the letter it visbile looks like but the Scandinavian ŋ is an e. That tends to really mess with non-liguists so people would want to use it as an n and people of Scandinavian descent would crack up laughing at the spelling. Then you have the clueless wonders who think indo germanic means germans... when it just means Scandinavian. People have been fighting over names for milliena untold. The best thing is use english for the names and use a system to create a nickname for the account that could use unicode or not, but would let the first name be a given name or common use name. Your given name would have to be unique and not violate any naming rules and your nickname could be names in common use. So my character Amortis would be the main's unique name could even be written in a different color so you know it is the main and reserved to the char based on old ingame mail or achievements or gear or whatever the devs can figure out works for everyone heck even a points system. But then all the chars could be addressed by the alias which has to be unique and can use unicode or not depending on the work load verse rewards that way you get names back that are common use but to get a gold star or unique name it has to have meaning to you. Playing that character through four expansions with no one else using the name is the kinda of thing I'm talking about... ie 1.2, 2.0, 3.0. 3.5, etc... that lets people use the names we have hung on to and also lets players arguing over a name use the common use version. Say Amortis is the unqie version the common use versions would be Amorti, Amortor, Amortus, Amorter, Amorta, Amortae, Amortai. basically use the declensions of Latin as a start then look through the languages you speak. That way your friends will know which one you are. Plus your surname or legacy would be different. kinda wall of text but really only of use to players who care about their names and they will read it. grin. Amortis aka that crazy linguist who speak a wayyy too many languages... to quote an old friend... Åmortįs Byórðæįr Meðærąs Vlör Vas´Drakken the list goes on but the english askii would be what would be used as the given name then each char could be saved as that name dot a number. That way the oldest char is what you are stuck with as a main unless you delete and recreate all the chars before your main or what ever system they use if they can figure out who to make this work in game. The funny thing is likely it would be Amortis that ends up the given name even though Byórðæįr is characters hidden given name since given names are supposed to be secret to everyone but family. grin. Byo's names: Åmortįs -A' mort(al) Tis Byórðæįr - Beä ador heir can be spelled Byorde/Bjorde/Byjorde/Byorð/Bjorð/etc... Vlör - VL oar (one sylable) Vas´Drakken - Vas Vee (h)os (Ownership) Dra kracken

hummm what if you take all the ideas above and mesh them into one idea... take the swoop runs through a track using the things like the mine field on the trooper starter world where you have to get a check mark and then take and use ghost runs based on what happened server side and replay ghost images or anyone that day that does not overlap grin... so you would have no idea who was going to be shown since if anyone over laps you your track does not get picked for that race... maybe even have it running 24/7 of ghost images of the week before randomly picked tracks that do not over lap. Unless you sat and timed everyone no one would know who was going to win but you would get an ingame email of when your race was slotted to display at the track... it would be wall of crazy type of thing because of all that would have to be implemented but it would be swoop racing and the best part is they could be halos or real instances of the char.

The first week of a new expansion I find tons of new gear half the time green gear so the sets I have setup are the ones I have been working on for months or years if I really like a piece of gear, I still use my Columni robe on my main that the dev's painted on everyone's since people stopped wearing them. It was funny to log in and see spirals all over my robes. I guess I will buy more customization slots before it starts. But usually the biggest thing is to run any content that might go away or change like when Karag the Hut fight changed. Usually the other thing is buy dyes that you like since just before they get expensive until about a few months after the expansion goes live. Then again I try and hand on to dyes that I like so when I get that really cool piece of gear that base color was not my style I have the dyes I like and do have to track them down or budget for more dyes. The big thing to stock up on is augments and MX-X holders but since they said those are changing I'm going to wait and make them after the changes since the changes usually favor those who wait to see what is actually needed.
