You know you want one. He can even float alongside us in his bassinet. Biggest pet in the game's history, I tell ya. <O_O> I mean, they have Treek, and nobody knew about Ewoks on Endor until RotJ. We have the droid from Fallen Order. They can totally float this for the fans (see what I did thar). MOAR BABY YODA.

Oh, good lord. We have to TRY to win? We don't come here for our COMPANIONS to play the game while we watch. I don't -want- a magic "I WIN!" button that takes the challenge and struggle out of the game. God forbid we might want to show some actual skill. You people, you whiny, sniveling, spaz attacking, screeching hysterical people and your I GONNA LEAVE NOW BECAUSE APIOn0829hty0n]sn]ntn9t Just ragequit and leave. Post some dull thread about why you're SO unhappy about _______ and just GO. Don't humiliate yourself with this I DEMAND TERMINATIONS AND PUBLIC APOLOGIES. Get over yourself.

The selling point for SW:TOR has been story all along. Developing PVP to the exclusion of that is the wrong move. Battlefront will be out soon. That might make you happier.

None of this is important. You enjoy the game, or you don't. There's no "us" versus "them." If you really think this is some evil corporation sucking down money from innocent, unsuspecting people like some deadly fiend, stop playing and go elsewhere. Vote with your feet. You don't like all of these changes personally? Okay, how about taking into account anyone who actually does? Oh, wait. You didn't. You just want to slam the Hell out of features you don't care for from the highest mountaintop. If you don't dig the game, just don't bother with it. Climbing up here with a megaphone to preach the evils of Bioware is just blending into the white noise of all the other screeching ragers who want to, say, flip out so hard because Nico's duster is the wrong color. Do something you enjoy. If it's not this, go looking for it until you find it.

I called customer service about something a couple of years ago. I was on hold maybe five minutes and my problem was fixed inside ten. Pretty quick and easy. If the tickets aren't working, I suggest just calling them via phone. That worked for me.

I'm with you, Spyder. This was AMAZING.

Unless they specifically said KOTOR/SWTOR was canon, I'd not buy into it too deeply. I'm not sure this game falls under the auspice of the date listed, or any of expansions; I imagine they mean books and comics overall. It would be odd to have SoR be canon but ignore the rest of SW:TOR, or KOTOR for that matter. KOTOR is still a beloved Star Wars story.

What exactly is a server hamster?

Illegally? They did it 100 percent legally. They own the rights, full on from George Lucas. Continuity is whatever they say it is now, full stop. There was nothing illegal about it and it's not like there's some legal recourse to it on the part of the fans, either way. For that matter, though, George himself was on record saying that he didn't consider the EU canon either, and he was far, far more likely to ignore them and do his own thing if he ever did more film than use any material from it. EU was always what-if, but Lucas himself dismissed it as such, and even if Lucasfilm allowed it as canon in house, he could always , always overrule that. But Disney did it for him.

Level sync is good for some of us who like to remain at least slightly challenged in the game, especially with all the re-visits to classic worlds. I can even do the entire Makeb thing now without walking through the content on autopilot, which is what stopped me before due to levels. Why would you want them to drop something they spent this much time implementing before it's even officially released? Let's see what the rest of the community says as time rolls on.

I always took it to be. There was a Selkath in Clone Wars, and as far as I know they existed strictly because of KOTOR. The Emperor in Episode III says "once more the Sith will rule the galaxy..." which I hadn't known to have happened outside KOTOR as well. (Unless it did somewhere else in the backstory and I missed something.) I always head canon'd Mace Windu's purple lightsaber to be indicative of Revan's fall and redemption, given us reliance on a dark side-esque fighing style. (Getting some full frontal nerdity here now). That, for me, is enough reference to accept. I have no idea how official any letter of any word is, but that's how I've taken it for some time.

Goodbye.

Righteous. ^_^ Let's adjust our signatures to show our thanks, folks. Give Bioware credit for bringing our man Shan back into action!

...Hamsters?

Every MMO that's ever been (no exceptions) has had a toxic, overly loud, overwhelmingly negative fan presence on it's forums. No exceptions. These people think that their experience and theirs alone is all that matters to the universe, so they howl, screech, rage and rant about what a tremendous injustice it is that ______ about ______ in game ________ is just SO damned HORRIBLE :mad: We should ALL hate it along with them!!!!!!! Rawr!!!! Frankly, it's absurdity made manifest. Every game has its bugs or its quirks, but these guys as a whole can't separate fact from opinion, and can't usually understand enough of what goes on behind the scenes to make *accurate* conclusions about why _______ is _________. That's not to say that a legit gripe doesn't come and go, but blowing like volcano over every little detail and expecting applause, compliance or a mass exodus from Evil Traitor Game X is more the way they want to go with things. Most MMO devs avoid having too prolific a presence on the forums for a reason. It's not that they aren't reading, but they know how deeply toxic things go - 0 to 100 fast - and they choose to stay removed from it, by and large. I have yet to see an MMO where people aren't screeching that the devs aren't listening. They're listening. They're just (wisely, IMHO) standing apart from the meat grinder of rage-driven ubertrolls. They know better how to handle this toxicity than many people might suspect.

It's been popping left and right since I got on, and I've never seen so many players in one match. I had no idea how barren Bastion was. But I'm getting lots of GSF there now. I'm Savarash there, folks, and I pilot a Clarion for the most part. Glad I switched. ^_^

If it didn't work for you, it didn't work for you. It worked just fine for me and my friends. YMMV. Not worth the overdramatic, shouting from the mountaintop approach.

I was kind of hoping for some questlines to get my old crew back, but I don't mind seeing them again. You get used to them, y'know?

If you don't want it, don't play it. Easy. Don't come here crowing about how much you don't want it, thinking you can make the rest of us don't want it along with you. I'm sure there are some who agree, but this expansion is the best thing KOTOR has ever done, and it's raised the game and quality of the game to the next level. It finally feels like a Star Wars epic of our own and it makes the game I played a week ago feel obsolete and behind the times. So if you don't dig it, that's fine. YMMV. But coming here to raise noise about it? Feh. Yawn. To each their own. For my part, I'm loving it.

So, all of us with the Theran Shan inquiries in our signatures - shall we change them to THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK THERAN SHAN?

1) Where is this terminal to get companions back? I'm dying to know. I miss Iresso and Nadia. 2) I had Qyzen at max affection when KotFE came along, and he remembered. I was able to bypass his quest option on the spot and just recruit him then and there. I had already PVP'd to Valor 40 (I'm closer to 60 now) so I just reminded MX that I already kicked enough arse, and he agreed and came aboard. I imagine the MX thing is meant to be a treat for PVPers but c'mon, guys. I count 14 active companions right now just off of what I take through questlines, without finding this terminal you speak of. All of them perform based on affection, which you can buy up easily enough, and you earn it winning battles and such. All of them are essentially the same now, identical save for skins and voices, and graded on how much influence you have on them overall (And they're beasts in any role now). Basically: You don't need MX for anything at all. He's as optional as they get at this point. if you don't need him and don't want him, don't worry about it. He won't act or perform differently from any other companion at this point.

I've certainly got no problem with Nadia in an iron bikini (guilty) and my lady jedi has that temple vest (IE futuristic midriff top) going on. That said, I actually don't mind the fixed appearances so much. I can still customize my original companions up to KotFE, and Nadia's done enough time for me over the last couple of years in the iron bikini. I can't imagine a Sith like Lana would let you dress her in anything if it impugned her since of power and Darth Marr, Nico Okarr and so on have such iconic looks that I'm finding I don't want to change them out. It's keeping the Star Wars feel a little more alive for me, at least. YMMV. Also, slight aside, I -am- glad that Lana got a new look. That hair and outfit in SoR was impossible. Looked like the bastard offspring of Tim Curry and Kermit the Frog. Nice new look, Lana.

If I were to transfer a character to a new server, how much, if any, progress would I lose in Fallen Empire? (I'm chapter four or five right now, midway). I wouldn't imagine any, but someone had mentioned in chat last night that if you zone out of the expansion to your stronghold or fleet, your progress in the expansion resets to the start of that chapter. (No idea if that's true either, but I was chugging along enough that I had not reason to test it).

OP is just another Screecher. This game could be programmed to spit out real dollar bills, right out of your monitor as full legal tender, and people like this guy will come in her spitting grief and venom if they're not sequentially numbered. Way too much nasty going on, but every expansion has threads exactly like this one. I wonder if the trolls have copy/pastes of earlier threads that they just drop again with every new release. The game is rocking and this expansion kicks tail. If you don't like it, fine. YMMV. But what's the point of a smearing thread? Do you think you're leading an exodus away from the game and your snide observation is some flashpoint for consumer rebellion? Try boycotting the sun and talking about how many subs you think it won't have in a month or 2. Let's see how that works. Yawn, yawn, yawn.

Sold. I'll be on Harbinger soon.
