I've seen someone in a warzone last night with a purple bladed saber, the crystals are in game.

Doubt it was a coincidence, they both ran SWTOR ads during commercials.

That's what I figured, I don't have an HD TV though.

I'm having a problem trying to log in, every time I do it gives me a black screen and my monitor says not optimal resolution. I can still hear the music etc, I need to change the resolution without being in game. Is there a file that has user resolution settings or is that stored server side?
