  1. Not me. The only thing that gets me with the voices is when having a conversation in a flashpoint and all the other male Jedi's speak with my voice. But hey, it would really be too much to ask to have a huge variety of voices for so much dialogue, so I can live with it.
  2. Despite the nay sayers replying to you OP I completely agree ... the point of a map is so you don't have to remember these things. On Nar Shaddaa in particular I found it a pain in the arse to find my class trainer and cargo hold. I even went to the promenade thinking that it would be a likely slot, switched on the toggles on the map and nothing showed. Of course you need to stand on the *lower* promenade before they show. Obviously. Not. Similarly some planets have more than one trainer location, so even though you know there is one near the spaceport (probably, or not, with quite a few planets) there could be one nearer where you are when you need it ... but viewing the global map and turning on the appropriate toggles provides no help at all when you have to physically travel to a location just to see if the map updates with the right markers. I'm not even sure it really needs intelligence to prevent an overload of common markers, such as medical droids, because really how many are there on an entire planet? 10? 20? Having a load of vendor markers crammed in to one location just confirms that that is the area you should be travelling to if you want to buy/sell things. On the fleets if you hit the 'vendor' filter you end up with loads of markers all on top of each other, and no one has complained about that.
  3. if you can team up with a DS farmer for esseles there is actually a third dose of LS points available to you. At the end when the conversation turns to leaving the ambassador behind you can get two LS awards if the first conv is won by the DS, but obviously you can't really engineer that.
  4. I'm pretty sure those first two FP (Esseles/Black Talon) have the most conversation - and so LS/DS choices - than any of the other flashpoints. I know the mid-range ones in particular are pretty poor with zero conversations apart from start and end.

    Sounds like you try and attack by right-clicking, and have moved your abilities round in your quickslot bar. Read the other threads here to understand what you've done wrong, but basically: - right clicking activates the ability in quickslot 1 - make sure your basic no-cost build-focus attack is in quickslot 1 - learn to use the keyboard instead!
  6. Have you actually taken any screenshots? The folder won't exist until you take a screenshot. You mention you're using a laptop so you might need to make sure that your 'print screen' button is primarily 'print screen' and not some other shared laptop button unless you hold down a modifier key.
  7. Yes you have enough, and no there isn't something more important than a mount at this time. It *is* a convenience but it is a BIG convenience!
  8. Yes, you didn't read this thread fully (a) You've probably rearranged the abilities in your quickslots (b) right-clicking activates the ability in quickslot 1 *always* © the ability in quickslot 1 is no longer your basic build-focus and is something that requires focus So what you need to do is: (1) open your abilities screen (P) and put your basic attack back in slot 1 (2) make sure all the abilities you have unlocked are somewhere on your quickslot bar (3) start using keypresses to attack, it is quicker (4) Read every codex about gameplay/tutorial you get rather than just skipping through them
  9. As other poster says, right-click actually doesn't 'attack' - it just activates the ability in quickslot 1. So what has happened is you've moved your most basic no-cost attack out of that slot and now right click is trying to activate whatever is in there. Just put your basic attack back and everything will be as you desire.
  10. If you're looking for higher than normal republic server then I'd suggest Hydian Way.
  11. Guilds aren't allowed to recruit in this forum, so you'll need to look around your server forums and guild recruitment forums.
  12. You just need to find a casual friendly guild - they exist. Try the guild recruitment forums and find one that is happy to accept weekend-only players who want to join operations when they've levelled.
  13. In the settings folder (either in C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USER]\Local Settings\Application Data\SWTOR\swtor\settings OR users\[YOUR USER]) there is a client_settings.ini file. Make a copy of it so you can go back if you make a mistake, but the lines you probably want to change are: WindowX and WindowY - these will state the position on the desktop of your game window and depending on your dual-screen setup will be either negative (if your main screen is to the right of the additional screen) or at an X position bigger than your main screens resolution. Changing them to 0 should put the game window back on your main screen. Or you can change the full screen setting in that file and see if that helps you start up.
  14. You're posting in the wrong forum - you need to find the illogical rant forum A group has to start somewhere, so are you only expecting an existing group of 2 or 3 players to respond to your LFG requests? That seems a bit much. If I am not in a group, and want to be in one, then I will LFG. I'll either start getting messages from people saying 'invite me' or a message from a group giving me an invite - either of these are correct responses, because either way a group will form. If I am in a group and want more players then I will LFM, which means I won't get invites from existing groups because they know I am already in one.
  15. There's a good guide in this new players forum that lists acronyms, it would be worth having a look to see if that's got the ones you're struggling with. Level 50's get their own warzones, so don't worry about them BUT you will be running with level 49's though. When you enter a warzone you might notice you get a boost ... which basically increases some stats to try and make every more of the same level. But at higher levels you will get access to more of your class skills, which can make a difference. Level 10's, for example, will probably only have half-a-dozen skills to use whereas the 40+ will have way way more. The reason they are running around like crazy is that if you stay in one place too long you will stand out as a target and find your head being jumped on by other players. Ignore them. It's the internet and small people will always be rude if they think they are anonymous. This particular forum tends to cater for new (and stupid ) questions so you should find less hostility than in, say, general chat. Well really, the advice is quite simple: - Learn the rules of the warzone i.e. how to throw the ball in huttball, how to recognise which team you are on, how to recognise which zone you are suppose to score in (I've seen players get turned around and run the wrong way) i.e. how to plant bomb on door, how to diffuse a bomb i.e. how to cap and defend a gun turret - As a beginner follow the directions of someone who takes the lead on your team. They might be wrong but you'll learn that as you get more experienced and can take the lead yourself - Work with others, don't try and play it as a solo experience. A coordinated group of players will nearly always beat a team who work as individuals - KILL THE ENEMY! And complete the objectives. But the other way around ... you win by completing objectives not killing enemies. - Have fun. Even losing gives you some rewards in terms of xp, cash, valour and most importantly a learning experience. Don't be the douche who doesn't like losing, because you will lose - a lot - as you are learning to play a very competitive game against other real life people not stupid NPCs
  16. Look at tooltips for all your abilities: one of them will say something about interrupting enemy actions. When you have an enemy targeted, if they start to heal (or some other action that takes time) you'll see a little progress bar appear just above their portrait on your UI. Hit your interrupt ability when you see this, and you will stop them doing what they are doing. In your case you want to do it when they are healing.
  17. Yeah and that's just it ... right now it is a fairly meaningless title and I'm not bothering to display it because nearly everyone you meet will also have that title. In a year or two's time though it may have some gravitas. It made me laugh when people were complaining on day 1 of 'founders title launch' that they didn't have it yet because at that point it had even less meaning. Everyone playing at that time would get the title, so a week of delay's meant nothing. At least now we're at the point where new players can't get it and so it has some exclusivitiy ... not much, but some.
  18. Yep, as I said before, it sounds like you've got a bad server. When other players are forcing you to play a certain AC because the other 'doesn't make sense' then you've got a problem. You should be free to play however you like, so long as you are doing damage and not causing wipes then how is getting a wipe in a FP your fault? Because they ran it without a healer? Run, don't walk, to a new server and start enjoying your game with players that don't demand a playstyle/AC on you.
  19. Yeah the way I read it is that it is too late for anyone to get a "founder" title now, and hasn't been possible since the 19th February. Hopefully they've removed all mention of the founder title from the website, so new people aren't confused and think they can still obtain it. Because, as you point out, if you started playing from the 20th Feb you can't get it (or shouldn't be able to get it). That's the thing with time-limited cut-off dates: there'll always be people right on the cusp who think it is unfair they can't get it.
  20. If you're EU then try Hydian Way. We have good sized republic population, and a number of large guilds.
  21. By pending he meant, top right of the screen above everything else will appear a button labelled 'pending' if there is something waiting for you ... this can happen with the advanced class quest. Can you access your skill tree (top of screen)? If the button is not there then (i.e. there is a gap in the buttons at top of screen) then you haven't chosen an advanced class yet and should do what I suggest on the fleet. If you can access the button then you've already made the choice, and should read what I wrote in my second post.
  22. Go play farmville ... there aren't farmers in this game, only heroes Seriously though, why farm? And farm what? Playing the game is way more enjoyable than sitting in one area constantly battling 'enemy X'. What are you hoping to get out of farming - and what level are you expecting to do this farming? The only time I'd consider it is when you reach level cap, otherwise any gains you make at lower levels from farming will be surpassed just by gaining levels. For example, sitting at level 10 'farming' XP from low level mobs is pointless when just following quests will get you more XP. Similarly with credits: you'll get more from quests AND go up levels which will then reward more silver. Crafting ingredients? Might as well just run missions to get them and save your frayed patience looking for spawn nodes. Anyway, obviously you can play how you like but starting to play with the intention of farming is not something I can even contemplate! It's like paying a monthly sub to play whack-a-mole or something ... ludicrous.
  23. Healers aren't jack-of-all-trades class, they are healers
  24. Well, if you want to heal then there is only one choice for you ... only one of the Jedi advanced classes can heal. So you'll need to choose consular, and then when the time is right choose the AC that heals (sage).
  25. OR if you've already chosen an advance class and are trying to learn the new abilities of that class then: - go to the trainer (not advanced trainer) - at the bottom of the trainers screen there are two tabs, one for general class and one for your chosen advance class ... make sure you click that to purchase the skills for your AC
