What server are you on? Also, what are the mats for the purple hawkeye?

Pretty much, yes.

Did you subscribe along with the referral, or did you just click on one link? Just academic curiosity, btw. I really don't mind people getting these freebies by using referrals.

Yeah, you can't get back after the E.L.E. hits Ziost. That's why it's a good idea to not complete the planet's storyline on at least one toon, if you want to farm it.

I'll get there... eventually

The real trick is getting from 55 to 60 without getting burned out... I love this game, but after 11 alts the elder game does tend to get repetitive.

It was the same thing with SoR and the purple crystals thing. People scrambled to get referral links in the hope they could get the prizes, or tried subscribing in the very last hour. And like last time, I *think* unless you have a legit subscription, you're out of bonus stuff.

Before the nerf, there would be 20 or more people on Rishi doing dailies and waiting for the chests to spawn at 1 pm (GMT). Now it's mostly empty. Now Yavin, with all those juicy slicing nodes...

Well, I have been experiencing serious lag spikes since wednesday on Begeren Colony and now on Ebon Hawk. At first I thought it was a problem with my ISP, but all the other internet devices on the house are running smoothly. This was not PvP, mind you, just regular pve gaming.

Rishi chests have been nerfed as well. I haven't checked Oricon yet, but they probably are giving out less credits, too.

Well, the Rishi chests are giving substancially less credits now. I suppose this will hurt the gold spammers.

I for one would love to see a "neutral" non-faction-affiliated class; maybe a Cunning-based Tank. But yeah, not happening.

Subs only. Maybe that's so because they see it as an incentive to draw more subscribers? May 4th. There will be such a feature. Probably it will be an item you buy from a vendor in the Fleet for zero credits, but I'm not sure.

Wait, you're paying the old prices, as listed on the game's page? Because I'm pretty sure my credit card charges US$ 14,99 per month, at whatever rate of dollar to real it is on that day.

What's your server?

As a native Portuguese speaker and professional translator, I'd *love* to make a deal with Bioware to translate all the subtitles (hint, hint ) As for the OP critiques: yes, the sub fee is quite hefty for us here, since the dollar-to-real rate went nuts these past months. Now, I don't think a discount is the way to go, but maybe charge us in local currency instead of US dollars? Is that even possible for Bioware? I know WoW does it, and it's no wonder why that MMO has so many paying customers here in Brazil.

I've been trying to get my brother to subscribe to this game for months now. He just said that if the sandcrawler thing was for real, he'd be subbing already. Just saying

But there, you had it! All I had to do was delete the infamous Bit Raider folder and the laucher patched itself. Problem solved. Thanks, Jerba!

The repair button is greyed out...

So I was doing this week's conquest event on Alderaan and saw something weird... Organa Castle's floor texture was entirely missing - and not like the Rishi deck glitch, where it was merely invisible. No, if I try to step inside the main hall I will just fall through the invisible ground and die. http://i.imgur.com/xreTkxV.jpg The same thing is happening to all my characters on Panteer Castle, so I can't access the area of the last Heroic. I tried all the suggested workarounds for the Rishi glitch (here) and none worked. I also messed around with graphics settings, but I keep falling through the ground and dying. Suggestions, please? EDIT: DX Diag information follows...

I've all but given up on a fix for this bug...

The only confirmed workaround so far (at least for me) was unlocking all conversations for the Imperial Agent companions. Nothing else worked. Of course, after 3.0 hit, my bonuses were reset to default again and there's nothing else I can do but wait for a patch...

Yes, the save file was there. Anyway, quitting and restarting the game had no effect, and neither did restarting the system. Then this morning everything is where it should be. As it never have bugged in the first place. Computers. Go Figure.

So I logged on today and discover all my in-game settings reverted to default. Everything - graphics, screen resolution, GUI element placing, etc. Annoying (especially with 17 characters now), but nothing too hard. So, I fire up the Interface Editor... ... to discover my custom array is gone. On all toons. On two different servers. I try to fix everything again, but instead get an error message saying the game is "unable to save" the new GUI placements. Again, that's not making the game unplayable, but all these little annoyances combined (Heroic Moment, lag, decorations missing, now the GUI editor braking) are sure aggravating. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
