Who the hell is Tax and why does he interfere with electronic transfer that is instantenously sucked out of my Visa account at no cost? I pay 109 Danish Krona. Back in the days where I played WoW, it costed something like 80. The Tax guy didn't mind. They say those two games have the same subscription cost.

Are you saying that this is some attempt to achieve global fairness and equality? What a noble goal, except they already tried it in Soviet Russia with very poor results.

A currency of a given country is worth what the international currency rate says it is worth, and you should be able to convert to/from different currencies and end up with the same amount when you convert it back. OP is paying 20 Swiss Franc which is 21.4413 USD when converted to USD. I pay 109 Danish Krona which is 19 USD. A US citizen pays what - 15 USD? For the same product. By doing very simple math, you will even get the difference in percent from the above if you bother.

Woohoo, a suggestion box! Here goes: Please consider implementing an option of deactivating the "auto camera" that automatically snaps the camera look behind the character when the left mouse button is released. Note I'm only asking for the option of deactivating it, so the default behaviour will continue to be as it is now. That way, people that don't care about this funciton won't even notice. Thank you for listening.

Way too early to ask and to answer, as "longetivity" implies "long time". Ask again in a few months, or better yet, answer it yourself in a few months! : ) After all, it is your own fun or lack of fun that is important here, not mine/anyone else's.

If this game dies, I personally blame the fanatics saying that everything is perfect and no changes are required. I got lucky to get into the beta in September 2011, and could not but note the following trend from the moment I got access to the beta forums: Betatester 1: "User Interface feels old and bulky and needs trimming and more custumization." Fanatic 1: "IT'S A BETA!" Fanatic 2: "We are way behind the devs!" Fanatic 3: "Wait for the release! They are working on the magical build that will be awesome!" ..Meanwile, the release comes. Same crappy User Interface. Player 1: "User Interface feels old and bulky and needs trimming and more custumization." Fanatic 1: "UI is fine!" Fanatic 2: "Go back to WoW!" Fanatic 3: "Can I have your stuff?" You see, the developers say they are listening to constructive feedback. Constructive can be negative. Constructive can also be a post saying "I'm quitting because of X and Y". But how can the developers even see the feedback for all the noise some people drown it in?

They know it, and if they could, they would change it. But the developer, sitting in a top secret garage somewhere in Kazakhstan, is obviously confused by the spam from the game director saying "change tilde!", "change \", "change ½", since he is working on some Cyrillic keyboard.

If it was just another annonymous newly invented universe like in Rift I would be playing Rift in stead of this one. Or maybe not as I cancelled my R account after a few months as it just didn't have what it took. Whether the same will happen here, it's way to early to say. Right now it is still fun but the moment it stops being fun I won't cling to it with some fanatic faith but will just find something else. So no issues here, it is just a game - enjoy it while it is fun, stop playing/paying the moment it becomes a chore.

By all means, the User Interface. It's absolutely fabulous, I totally fell in love with it the moment I saw it for the first time. While the competitors have developed some utterly confusing, unnecessary nonsense with many windows that you can have open at the same time and which you can drag around your monitor resulting in total chaos, we have.. this piece of brilliant innovation.

My prefered companion is that bearded healer guy and he wants medium armor.. Would be a laugh though, thanks for the suggestion!

Could you give a link? I've been waiting for the option to deactivate the "smart" camera since the beta last year but have yet to see something in writing from the developer team. I know there are plenty of things to fix and they have to prioritize, but at least some acknoledgement that they are aware of the need/wish for this option would be nice to see.

And yet those armor sets contain slots for modifications that are intended for battle. The OP has a valid point about fairness/balance. Most of you? How many of you is there?

Xgjfgdjkfgjdkf is taken? Doh! Hopefully not on my server..

Surely a fix to the deactivated abilities to stay deactivated is what we need, no matter the ability - be it harpoon, taunt, whatever. Me and my wife have a character each dedicated for duo-play (very near Social IV at lvl 30 ftw!). I tank with my shadow, she does dps with her smuggler. To begin with, the mobs I was trying to keep aggro on suddenly flying past me to Corso were funny, but it started to annoy the hell out of us both rather quickly, as I have to run back like an idiot, and she must deactivate that damn harpoon each time we dismount from our scooters. We nickname him "Harpoon Boy" now.

No official comment nowhere as far as I know. If I'm wrong, I would love to be corrected. Note 1: The wish to disable the auto-follow was already mentioned many times during beta. Note 2: For people that don't care about the function: Normally the default behaviour of the camera is as we see now. But normally (by "normally" I mean in all the mainstream MMOs out there I've seen with own eyes), you have an option of deactivating that aweful camera auto-follow. So people that don't care would not even notice if they implement it. I would say "when", but decided to change to "if", as this begins to resemble a conversation with a wall.

At least it's better then Fancypants Sweetcheeks

All of them? That means I can roll need on practically everything. Yay for your suggestion.

Personally, I would also like to see some official word from the developer team with at least a confirmation that the developers are aware of the fact that the feature of deactivating auto camera follow is wanted/needed, and that they have added it to the drawing board for a patch in the near future.

He only asked why there is 16 hours cooldown on the fleet pass, which is a valid question. That he formed his question in the way he did is another matter, but the content of the post is clear to those who bother to see the content through the words. Your post, on the other hand, is what I would classify as complaining without adding any constructive value to it. I happen to agree with the OP that that long cooldown is a bit (if not a lot) exaggerated.

Quick question: Can you: 1. download the app to your android/phone. 2. activate it for the account, thus obtaining access to this vendor (where is he/she/it btw?) 3. deactivate the key app, and still keep access to the vendor? At the moment I don't want the fuzz with entering the number each time I log on, and let's face it, don't have that much to lose yet Working with IT security I would say I feel pretty much confident I will know if my gaming computer is compromised. At the moment I'm using only one computer for the game and only 2 computers + ipad for the forums.

Thanks for answers about the screenshots folder - found it!

I don't think there is a screenshot folder, at least I don't see one. I needed to take only one screenshot so far, so I pasted it from the clipboard directly to my favourite graphic application. Edit: Ah, found it: C:\Users\<my_account>\Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots. The screenshot is JPG, 700KB. The one I saved from my app is PNG. Don't see that much difference.

I never understood the point of forum signatures either and never used them myself. Especially people who list their computer specs are hilarious. But that being said, my blood pressure does not raise over the silly sigs, as there are bigger issues.

I'm doing all of the above except the "talk in general" part. I'm not complaining about not having server specific forums and can live without them, but I don't see how they are a bad idea, so I'm supporting the notion. Also, you don't know if they would be dead until proven otherwise.

They also create a sense of community between players that from time to time might see eachother in game. Right now there is no community on the forums at all. Those forums are a gigantic mess of Anonymous, Angry Comic Book Guys.
