They did say what went wrong, an incomplete alliance companion quest was active that would screw things up if you attempted to do it. The latest twitter update says solutions are still being tested, no eta yet, that was 9 minutes ago.

The 'have you read tactics' line always bugs the **** out of me and why i've never bothered to do OPs. You should NOT have to go outside the game to learn to do a fight, the only thing you should be required to do is learn by playing and this isn't on the devs, this is on other players forcing requirements on others. It's exactly the same as the 'skip skip skip plz skip' mindset in FPs, there maybe people that have never done it before and they get screwed over.

I did, though i acknowledge the problem was my own false assumption. I assumed that while new alliance stuff would come with the monthly update that there'd still be some unlocks this first month as you raised your companion and alliance levels. I assumed there'd be abit of comp dialogue for getting their levels up, i assumed hitting 10+ with alliance would unlock an alert or 2. I have main comps in their 20s and alliance at 15 and you know what unlocks? not a damn thing, not one tiny comp dialouge, nahda, zip. Irritated.

'Making the free lvl 60 doesn't count as having class story done?'....well, no because you havn't done the class story. It's not exactly rocket science, how freaking dare you act all god damn outraged. some people holy crow

to be honest play something else to kill time. I was stood in my stronghold,like ok lets prepare, um run flashpoints ehhh, warzones ehhh, *looks at achievements* kill 1000 whatsits *logs out*

So if i was subbed on those dates but let it slide for like a day, say i don't know oct 1st-oct 2nd, that's it no early access for me, that doesn't seem right. This needs to be clarified by someone at bio.

Checking now, hmm 14012, i've been around since 08, signing up i think the day the site went live, unfortunately at release i was partt of the infamous 5% whos system configuration has issues with ToR and couldn't play, since then i've hopped in and out over the years.

It isn't just poor gearing or incompetence, it's that these are exacerbated by the boost. Fewer people are queueing for flashpoints because they simply arn't needed and some of the people that do have, not just poor gear, we're talking 15-20 lvls lower gear because all else they have done is class quests and on top of that newer players don't have the practical experience from doing other flashpoints.

I was in the queue for 3 hours, when it finally popped the tank and healer died due to poor gear, they quit, i've been in the queue again for another hour and waiting. Anyone that thinks this xp boost is a good idea can not see the bigger picture, the idea that it should be permanent is ludicrous.

MOAR Courtenay Taylor!! but have her change it up abit, also Seth Green, we could do with a humorous quest line. Also wanted to add my voice to Steve Blum=awesome but heard so many times.

Valiant set, or as some of you might remember it jedi master hair gel set. I guess it's been worn to death because i almost never see it anymore, seen it once in the past month but i still love it.

you mean apart from every single interview bio did back then, many of which can be found with a simple google search, and didn't they do videos at the time, developer blogs i think talking about each class and it's story....gosh no how foolish of me. Also you'll note i never said a damn thing about not greatly enjoying bioware stories in general.

I'm sorry but that's just flat out bs. I was there 2008, class story wasn't just a selling point it was a MAJOR and extremely hyped selling point . People said bio wouldn't be able to sustain class stories and here we are, others now desperately making excuses for how it's ok and that we don't need class stories any more.

I just love the fact that one of the new mascots for disney is a character that slaughtered children. I can't help but feel they didn't quite think that one through.

Undoubtedly the programmers skills are good or they would not be working for a major company. What they work on and when they work on it however is dictated by whoever hands out the paychecks. If EA tells them making money comes first then, whether they like it or not, it comes first. Since the dawn of mmos forumites have insulted devs when its often not their call. It's just not right.

According to this http://www.swtorarena.com/statistics/ population has dropped by half across EU and US but someone, rather unpolietly, said it had been debunked. That's fine by me but was interested in reading the debunking myself and asked if a link could be provided.

If it has been then thats cool and fine and I apologize. can you point me at the debunking please.

won't make a difference. http://www.swtorarena.com/statistics/ population has dropped by roughly half across the board.

I'm no tech guy but from everything i've seen on the issue it seems like its an optimization issue. Not entirely bioware's fault, no company in the world can optimize their client for every hardware configuration out there. Lots of folks on low end and high end machines are playing just fine without problems of any kind, but there are also many folks with both low end and high end machines with terrible fps issues. I have no idea of the veracity of this but apparently these fps issue were reported frequently in beta, as far back a june/july and nothing has been done. I get 1-3 fps in warzones and similar on ilum so I basically cannot continue playing that character after 50.

really did ya click on it? the only sticky i see on the subject is the one that says Scheduled Maintenance: January 10th, 2012 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=141265 'Hello everyone, we wanted to let you know that we will be performing scheduled maintenance for six hours on January 10th, 2012 from 2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET) until 8AM CST (6AM PST/9AM EST/2PM GMT/3PM CET). All game servers and SWTOR.com will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than six hours, but could be extended.

We will update the Community when this patch is rescheduled. Thank you for your patience.' the sticky with this info has since gone missing -.- I've always been a stalwart supporter of bio but to be honest I'm starting to get sick of this crap.

how about a little objectivity. I'm not gonna pull the racism card, but unless he specifically offers to sell you credits, assuming everyone that talks chinese and loots a few high lvl chests is a credit farmer is a darn slippery slope. If he spoke english and camped some high lvl chests would you assume he's a credit seller?

consular story is pretty darn epic, especially act 3, though i'll admit to having mass effect flash backs through out act 3, serious dejavu moments. I've put off rolling another rep as i've done every planetary quest and havn't been about to stomach the thought of doing them all again but someone here mentioned a treasure hunt? I eat that crap up man, love them kinda story lines. I'm off to roll one now then

'Graphics preferences in settings files are now consistent with actual settings in use.' you click high, click accept, they stay at medium. emotes can now be used from vehicles type /wave, press enter. does your avatar wave or do you just get text that says you waved? people are reporting kira is still bugged and the shadows indoors frame drop still happens, the patch notes seem to be largely cleverly worded BS.

I love my consular to pieces and overall loved the story with its mystery and intrigue, however upon getting closer to the end I can't help but to be hit by a fair amount of dejavu, you travel across the galaxy to assemble a kick *** team, towards the end you split into different teams to handle different objectives and your love interest even recites a poem at one point. I did have to kinda /facepalm at what appears to an incredible lack of originality in the consular story.
