  3. More akin to Baldur's Gate. KOTOR is descendant from that. Either way, it's a Bioware thing, good or bad.
  4. Great! I'm glad you got it figured out.
  5. Get a cat! I couldn't resist. To be serious though. Those are called nameplates, and they have their own section under preferences.
  6. The Instant 60 blue gear is not modifiable unfortunately, this can be seen in the Sept. 30th live stream. It is bound to legacy though, so you can send it to other characters. You can just use the outfit designer to get the look.
  7. Thanks. Yeah, after re-reading it I was a bit harsh. I could of been more diplomatic, but that's just what poured out after not saying anything at all while reading these forums for 4+ years. In all honesty it could of been a lot worse. I managed to temper my frustration quite a bit. I know most people just really want to enjoy the game and it's frustrating when it's not working the way it should be. So tempers flare and game forums are an easy place to vent. I just think it can turn into a bit of an echo chamber. Oh well, It could be worse.
  8. I'm getting so sick of everyone blaming every little thing on the engine. Bioware has been developing game engines in house since the company was funded. From the Infinity engine to the Lyceum engine. Dragon Age, and Dragon Age 2 ran on the Eclipse and Lyceum engines respectively. For gods sake Projekt Red used the Aurora engine for Witcher. Many game studios used engines developed by Bioware. They've had incredibly talented engineers working for them for years. So they used an alpha version of an engine to develop this game, and what people conveniently forget is that this was years before this game was released, years before EA. This was the original Bioware team. They were confident in their engineers to finish the development of an alpha engine and modify it for their own needs. Was it the best choice maybe, maybe not. But they were confident in their employees. To say this game even uses the Hero engine at all is laughable. It might as well be their own in house engine at this point, hell before it was even released you could argue it was mostly their own. For crying out loud for all the problems people have with the performance of this game, there are scores of people that don't have any, outside of the regular issues all games have. I've been here since early beta. I've had so few issues with this game I can hardly understand all the whining. I've built 2 new machines since the game has been released. Not a one has had the myriad problems. Do I have some? Yes. Are there a few issues here and there sure. But that's to be expected in the world of PC Gaming. Get over it, learn how to diagnose problems before you go blaming the game developers. Every gaming forum is fraught with complaints. I've come to believe the ill informed, and uneducated gamers are so busy trying to squeak out the last 5 fps, they are just crippling their own machines. Tweaking computers for performance gain is half the fun of PC gaming but how many people messing with the first newly built gaming rigs have never built their own machines before. Let alone spend a month researching the hardware to eliminate hardware issues from the start. Just because you went threw a PC builder on a website, or went to Newegg and threw a bunch of expensive crap into your cart does not guaranty flawless performance across all games. Sorry I have an i7 4770k, MAXIMUS VI HERO MoBo, Asus 970 Strix Some aggressively timed G-Skill Ram, Seasonic Platinum 660 powersupply, Samsung 850 pro SSD drive (For OS and Games), and I have no fps problem, yes I get less in Warzones, and Ops. I limit my frame rate to start with though I don't care about 100+ fps. I don't have any draw distance problems with the new update. I don't have Network issues, my game patches quickly. I just don't see why people have so many problems with decent to high end hardware, It just leads me to believe it's a software/driver/I don't know how to take care of my PC issue. I just don't get it. My friends don't seem to have the plethora of problems I see on these forums. Who knows maybe I'm just lucky, but three different machines later, and nary a problem leads me to believe it's PEBKAC. Sorry for the rant but after nearly 4 years I had to get that of my chest. Now let's talk about how 4.0 is ruining the game.
  9. My guess. You chose the kneel option ... and cue the end credits. Remember your choices matter. If you Actually joined Valkorion there wouldn't be much of a story now would there.
  10. TUXs, I know what you mean about passion, and frustration. Believe me, I'm surrounded by die hard St Louis Blues fans. This wasn't directed towards you. I've read your posts over the last few years, I get where you're coming from. It's just there are some people that endlessly post negative and baseless things, and have been doing so for a long time. Just makes me wonder why they are still here. I've been on the internet since the days of Usenet and the BBS's of yore... since the early 80's. I know this place can be a retched hive from time to time.
  11. Wow... just wow. Are you really still complaining about 3 server crashes lasting maybe 4 hours during nearly the first quarter of this year. In all honesty, that's actually pretty consistent up-time for nearly 3 months. The last crash occurring almost 2 months ago. For the sake of your own sanity. Let it go. Since the beginning of year, how many times has your PC or laptop crashed, or for that matter your smart phone, or router, or smart TV, or one of the myriad complex electronic devices you use on a regular basis. Do you bombard those companies tech support forums, or complain about their products? Just curious. A server by the way is exponentially more complicated then your gaming rig, and diagnosing, hardware, and or software issues can be difficult. Even with highly skilled techs working on it. Me I just go make a sandwich, open a beer, or do something else with my time if the servers go down. I have other options, other hobbies, friends, and family, dogs and cats... oh and books to occupy my time. Oh well. Just had to get that off my chest.
  12. I wouldn't worry, it doesn't show up under "My Games" as well in my account. I've played through all of the content for the expansion. You should be fine.
  13. I've been around since pre-beta as well, and I'm still playing. Not every day mind you. I've been a sub since day one.
