This is my question as well and hope we can get an answer. I hope the furniture is not simply for decoration.

I was in the same boat as other individuals who had the ~12gig d/l issue yesterday. I decided to wait until today to download per the dev post but was sad to see it still required me to d/l the 12 gigs. I bit the bullet, and re-d/l the entire 12 gig asset plus another 5 gig asset. After playing around on the new planet I have exited the game completely, restarted the launcher and logged in again without being required to download any new assets/patches. Although painful, it seems like if you're able to d/l the 17gigs you should be good to go. Hope this helps with your concerns.

Juggernaut. I dreamed of playing a Vanguard trooper tank since pre-launch. When the game finally released, I leveled him all the way to 46 before trying out a Sith Warrior on a whim. I was hooked on the Jugg tank AC and story, as well as the overall Imperial faction from that point forward. Since then, I've played every class to 50+/55 except Jedi Consular. And my poor Vanguard is still sitting in the character menu at L46, waiting to finish his class story...alas, that day may never come...

This idea was toyed around with in beta a long time ago. I remember the developer response regarding why it was never implemented having to do with the Trooper droid companion M1-4X and Jedi Knight companion T7-01. They never fully explained it, but I'm assuming it has to do with them not being humanoid and associated animation issues. Why they could not create an exception for those two companions and allow all others to travel with us in the taxis, I will never know.

Just want to add another vote to this. The lack of background music tends to make the worlds feel quite dull, especially when it's just me and Jaesa running around doing dailies. It has gotten to the point where I occasionally activate my Heroic Moment ability just to hear some Star Wars music.

Actually, when my character was Feverish with the glowing eyes, on my way to board my ship inside my character's hanger there was a containment droid and two containment officers. When I ran by, the droid scanned me, and then the two containment officers tried to kill me. Unfortunately for them, they failed at their duty, lol. Still, it was very cool to see that happen.

Awesome. Very cool to see some of the former SWTOR fansite podcasters hosting this.

-Troopers get their companion after completing the last class mission on Ord Mantell, so keep questing and you'll get him. -Troopers can't use cover, only Smugglers & Imperial Agents can use the cover mechanic.

What level are you? You need to be at least level 10 before the mission to pick an AC is available at the Fleet station. If you follow your class story, you should be getting off Tython around 10 or 11.

300 million is inaccurate. It was a value fabricated by "EA Louse" a disgruntled former employee of Mythic in 2010. Unfortunately, this is still sometimes quoted as fact. I don't think there have been any direct values provided by official BioWare sources, only analyst estimates that have ranged from $80 to $150 million.

Great info. Thanks for this.

I will not be surprised if there are queues on launch day b/c Bioware isn't doing EA to primarily prevent queues. They are doing EA to create servers with adequate server populations across the board. That way there aren't extensively long queues to get into individual servers on launch day and more importantly they don't have to worry about merging servers in the future. SR's tracker post makes this clear. For the long term health of the game, what they are doing makes perfect sense.

If you ordered the Digital Deluxe edition, which I assume you did given your sig, BioWare has said Origin will email those out on Dec 16th.

Some people have mentioned that talking to a vendor will cause the RE button to reappear.
