They would have to remove all class skills and give the new ones, change the energy management and remove remaining buffs like rage or upper hand. That's all doable, of course, but also prone to errors. And then they'd also have to put restrictions in place, PVP will be boring when everyone switches to the perfect class for the current map. Same for PVE: run through as stealthers then spend the time you saved arguing about the perfect class combination for the boss.

What's coming is that Darth Nox aka Lord Kallig aka The Forcewalker can be a Juggernaut.or even Sentinel, but a stealth force user will always use a double saber, and assault rifles will always be glorified clubs.

When your sub ends you are a preferred player with a couple of advantages over a free to play who never subbed. Nothing changed here, except that preferred players (aka ex subs) no longer get a free "trial week" every 3 months by using someone else's referal link. Your own link earned you cartel coins as a reward for convincing your friends to sub, but only as long as you stayed subbed yourself. The whole system was bonkers: F2P should have gotten a trial week, not preferred who already tried subbing, and the amount of cartel coins paid to players who brought their actual friends into the game must be tiny compared to what was paid to players who "generously" handed out a few million credits to newbies just for using a link.

Some time ago BW changed how relics worked, liklely because someone found a creative use for swapping relics after use. Antiviral relics were broken, and instead of fixing them, making them actually useful when equipped, or turning them into a reusable consumable, we got the expensive AOE vaccination droid with a long cooldown that makes it useless for the event world bosses.

It's likely: Who doesn't track their objectives before starting to work on them?

Ah yes. that's it. Did a WZ. and it didn't count for the weekly, because of course I track the objectives first...

Tracked conquest objectives and daily POs are automatically untracked when you travel to a new area (new planet, warzone, etc). Tracked achievements seem to be unaffected. "Daily PO: Defeat Unknown Wild Space Enemies" doesn't progress when killing mobs on CZ198, Ilum or Iokath. Are we in the wrong week? A bit hard to keep track.

Yeah, those are the abilities that are greyed out when you unequip your weapon. Pretty sure the weapon is broken, to repair your gear go to any vendor and use the "repair" button on the bottom. When you move the mouse over the weapon it shows "x% durability" right under the item name. There also should be a "broken armor" icon on your portrait.

Is the blade in need of repairs or is the offhand missing? The game might simply give you the wrong error message.

Did you opt out of mails? I always get a mail titled "STAR WARS: The Old Republic Billing Reminder" that says:

At least the mind-boggling new strategy of rewarding participation for Galactic Seasons made group chat in a lost match bearable again. And yeah, it worked in bringing me back to regs (for up to 7 matches per week...)

When you first pick up the seeker droid you got some spam from GSI, the attached consumables make using the seeker droid a lot easier. (more can be bought in any GSI shop.) Go to the area and use the seeker droid, if it returns a red circle, move a bit away, when it returns a green circle, look at the filled segment it points to the direction where the dread seed lies (based from your last dig-site, so best stand right above the hole). One of the consumables makes that pointer more precise, the other speeds up the digging process. If you think the seeker droid is bad, try getting HK 51. And keep in mind: the seeker droid quest ends with group content where 4 people need to push buttons simultaneously. Finding 3 other players on the quest or willing to help is a lot more frustrating than the digging.

The preview window uses a neutral lighting, while the rest of the game has colored ambience light, that adds a tint to everything. For most colors it looks natural: red clothing looks more vibrant in red light, but dull and dark in green light, for black that color-reflectivity needs to be deactivated, though, or it will look stained or washed out. The dye module can't do that, so when an armor is set to have a part with a very vibrant color, that part will always behave like that color would, no matter what dye module you use. It's just not as noticable with other colors than black. There are dye modules with a "blacker" black that conceals most specularity and color tints, but there is no dye module with super black / super black, and that color looks unnatural, IMO.

Ah, so neither Star Wars nor Babylon 5. Oh well, I guess GW doesn't have tall biped rabbit-people that are all but forgotten by a fandom that thinks tribal teddy bears are perfectly fine?

Nah, I meant what Steve was refering to, when he pointed out that "The Vigil" stands between Darkness and Light. Anyway, let's go back to the topic. This sums up the state of the Lepi pretty well: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jaxxon?file=Star_Wars_Marvel_2015_Jaxxon_Variant.jpg

Interesting, wouldn't have considered Kosh an 80's pop-rock fan. Still waters run deep. OK I'll bite: wanna give a hint for the "Vigil" comment, and where the Grey Council greeting was borrowed from?

"Understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth."

Ah... the good old times, when Star Wars was all about gunslinging scoundrels from obscure species that occasionally met a glowstick swinging wizard/monk. Too bad, the name "Jaxxon" is taken on all servers

I'm still sceptical whether Starlink will work out in the long run. It's not like nobody ever thought of a satellite network in low orbit, it's the sheer number of satellites you need to constantly cover an area. GPS needs 24 satellites for the whole planet. Starlink needs 10k+, each costing 250k to make and 1 million to bring into orbit. That's $12.5 billion. They won't last more than 5 years, so it will cost at least 2.5 billion per year to keep the system running. At $100 per month, it would need over 2 million users just to cover the maintenance costs. Of course it helps when your CEO is a nerdy billionaire.

Of course it shouldn't have happened, but human error is a thing. Steam has other issues, and a bad patch corrupting data to the point where a full redownload is neccessary can happen with steam as well. The main advantage of steam is that their servers won't run into bandwith issues, and you can download as fast as your internet is capable of.

That Dark Descent image in the launcher looks nice. Shouldn't that be the new loadscreen?

The alternative is that fancy-schmancy Boomer thing called backups. I've luckily dodged this whole ordeal by not having had the time to play yesterday, but you can be sure the first thing I did today was to copy my Swtor folder to a big HDD. Had I've been affected, I would have had to re-download almost 4 months worth of updates...

The space rumble goes away when you open and close the galaxy map. No such thing for stacking music though.

When the droid activates, there's a glowing circle on the floor. Run behind it so the droid walks in and gets caged But yeah, why solo it when you can duo it with your partner, always more fun.

All are soloable, have done them recently with Ruffian, Arsenal and Madness. Preference is the stealther of course. Fastest is Cademimu, where even non-stealthers can skip a lot. Longest but easiest is Directive 7 (easy only if you already know the boss-fight mechanics.). RNG in Kuat can be a pain, and you may need to respec for the boss. That said: " Complete any 3 “Hutt Space” Veteran Mode Flashpoints Through Group Finder" Don't think soloing counts... Edit: Ah yeah. off to do some Cademimu runs, then.
