Honestly most of the body types are absurd except for maybe one of them. It's a stylized design it's not meant to be exactly like real life but allude to a certain type, while not having the pressures of being exact. And I disagree the female body types don't have the problem you describe, they do as well. A body type 2.5 or 1.5 would be awesome actually.

Yeah have to say when I started my consular as a pure goody Jedi she was pretty boring. But now I've started selecting dubious replies and she has wayyyy more personality. I still select light side choices but I make her snarky whenever I can. She's a lot more fun that way.

Yay finally a barber shop of some sorts? Excellent!

I don't know if you were in the betas, but we were adamant about being able to have different last names if we so choose, and they ignored us in favor of their precious legacy. I don't understand why having different last names would change for the legacy? You can still have your toons be allies and NOT have the same last names.....

It's a PODcast...... Nice! Good to have something official I can listen to in the morning on the way to school/work.

That was an adorable joke guys!! Well done.

Why the hell would you even bring up Warhammer? It's not even a close approximation in any shape or form. It's not because the failhammer was brought under the Bioware team from Mythic that both games have anything to do with each other. You go to WaR for the PvP (is it even good?) And you go to TOR for story driven PVE. I certainly would not recommend any hardcore PvP fan to this game unless I knew for sure they loved a good story. Otherwise it won't do. However this is a story lover's paradise. I can't even comprehend why this isn't just a given by now...

Since when has 'fat' become an ideal of society.... Ideals are what the body types are and I just don't understand why being obese would ever be a good thing. Being healthy at everybody body shape, this I can get behind however and this is what we have. I don't see the male body type 4 as fat either. edit: As for ridiculous proportions, yes this is stylized. Meaning cartoon like...

Nope, people hate the prequels because the directing was awful, the writing was awful, the actors were not given the proper care and time to do their jobs, the plot was awful and could have been 100 times better if a talented writer had been contracted to ponder it for a minute... The only good things about the prequels is that it's all pretty special effects, costumes and visual candy. If that's what you are going for you'll like them, if you want some sort of explanation and background on beloved childhood characters you're going to go out angry and disappointed that is really the best Lucas could come up with. REALLY? I take the prequels gingerly, a lot like myths and legends, I refuse to believe that's really what happened with these characters. The history I'll buy sure. But not who these people were and what they did in detail.

What are you on exactly? You do realize that a sandbox is really easy to manage because you just give your players the tools to make their own fun? Instead they are doing everything themselves, that's the opposite of lazy. Sorry this isn't your preferred style of MMO but do not go around throwing insults for no reason, that don't even apply. This MMO is anything but cheap on top of it. MY God this thread. /bangs head in wall

I don't know what the problem is I'm not in a guild and I ALWAYS find a group, the longest I've waited for a full group is maybe 30 minutes. Now I may be an old foggie but that's reasonable considering the one hour minimum FORMING a group used to take in games like FFXI and EQ. Finally get a group. Now let's make it to where we are going alive... lol...

Only skimmed this thread sorry if it's mentioned already. But I'm currently reading the comic from Dark Horse, Knights of the Old Republic, in the time of the Mandalorian war. A jedi mentions that it's only a small portion of the order that believes that love and romance should be forbidden, but that this group was gaining power. So the Jedi did not always believe what it does 'now'. Jedi used to be able to pursue romantic interests freely. Maybe after the order was rebuilt by the Exile this was one of the teachings that stuck. As to why you get DS points for sleeping with an NPC, honestly that's one of those things that shouldn't have points because it's debatable. It might depend on the context. Haven't seen this myself but I'll keep an eye out if I ever get LS points.... : D

Yep. The new Revan novel, read it, love it and get psyched.

It's actually just the general forum really, you COULD just avoid coming here. I was doing this the last few days, came back today to see if anything's changed... It hasn't but it's no big surprise it usually takes the first four months or so for these threads to go away after a game first launches.

Lies. I could barely play Aion in it's first 3 months, once I quit the game I never returned. SWTOR is like butter compared to Aion to me.

Thanks for the tip,I tried both and yes so far quest reward companion only armor is not all that great, real gear is superior.

That IS very helpful thanks!

I wish we had rep on this board I'd give you one. I switched from gunslinger to scoundrel because I wanted to heal, I was finding it tricky to get adjusted to not using cover much or at all and whether I should just heal or try to dps too. I'm getting the hang of it slowly but our heals before 20 are not all that great I find I'm struggling a bit but it's not impossible to keep people alive. Thanks for the build link I need to reset my points, I sunk a few where I shouldn't have. Everyone seems to be in agreement that anatomy lessons is useless for example. Stealth, I don't use it. In normal adventuring I like to kill as much as possible I may use to sneak around an elite but nothing else, but should I be using it in group situations as a strategy, would that even work?

*choked on drink* You trying to be ironic? The search function is disabled as they are having trouble with it, if it was on earlier it's probably because they were testing it. That's also why you can't view the threads or posts you've made on your profile.

Cheers dude!!

Beautifully said. The game in it's current state is not perfect, but it is VERY acceptable. I've played less stable single player games. It is a big deal when an MMO releases with such few issues. I agree they need bug squash first of all, many MMOs tend to sweep things under the rug and keep building on broken things and I just don't want to see that here. This could be the greatest MMO ever made so far it just needs to be polished to the nines. Not that I'm not looking forwards to more story content but I'm confident we're getting anyway along with new zones and high level stuff.

I'll have to agree with the OP on this one, I've seen some very anti immersion names on my RP server and Spanky isn't one of them. Heck the smuggler AC trainer is known as "Lefty"... Cracking down on the wrong guy imo. Go after those with Cheezburger in their names, thanks.

Soooo, you're reading what you want to read? I'd say that's interesting except that it's far too common around here.

Holy crap how did I forget snarky Alistair? Bahhh!

I love community and I post in general chat in game. I'm not even in a guild at moment in the server I currently play in because I'm waiting to find the right through in game interactions. I've had lots of fun with grouping with random people. So no, not everyone is like you describe. Hugs for everyone!
