I loved Thana. She was so insecure and over the top, I loved dogging her out at every turn.

I am sorry to hear that, and I feared that was true, because I tossed it... They all have orange or the equivalent green now, but I threw some away before I noticed. But, fyi for people...

Yes, but they said that SGR would come in the form of new companions. (I assume because of scheduling actors/the cost of voice acting...?) Oh, Raina, you are so sweet and so lovely... We'll just have to settle for meaningful looks from across the bridge... I just can't quit you...

You're applying modern sensabilities to what is first and foremost a sci fi fantasy game. Plus, you don't have to go very far back in time to when outlaws were wanted "Dead or Alive" here on the North American continent. Those posters weren't made up for the movies. Also, "bounties" were placed on naval vessels on the open sea throughout history and that meant go destroy them *or* capture them. Just because it's considered bad form to kill people in the 21st century does not mean that there is no precedent.

How on god's green earth is this thread 41 pages long...? It should have the subtitle "I'm uptight about minor things."

Methinks, and this is just my opinion, that you are going to see a lot of what was "taken out" in Beta resurface in March with Legacy. It was tested in beta so it could be implemented in game when Legacy goes live. I am hoping we can apply some of the stuff to existing toons at that point...

(But, you should post it in the Suggestions forum at the top of the page...)

I double dog agree.

This has been asked and answered already before and even got a Dev response. Check the Dev Tracker history. It has nothing to do with BioWare being a US company. They want to choose a down time that impacts the fewest people. I am on the West Coast, so midnight PST sucks for me too... They chose the time that would impact the fewest players. They have what's known in the biz as "metrics" and they know when the fewest people are on. They do not want 2 separate downtimes because it's inefficient. Why do the work twice? They'd have to hire more people and that's resources that count against future development. As for the forums being read only during down time, again, read the Dev Tracker. Everyone jumps on the forums during down time, so they get overloaded. They are working on a solution. Since the OP is 32 and living in Greece and receives his 78,000 Euro pension, he wants to play the game. Botom line here is, BW is putting the downtime where it makes the most sense. Or go sew some more costumes.

You're being sarcastic, right? They have 8 options that you can customize them with. You know, 8 outfits. They don't have lives, because they are pixels in a computer game... I mean, keep them the same gender and race, but why not be able to make them however you want? I'll sign this...

Um... There are like 4 volume sliders? I use them when I am on Vent... Master Volume, Music, Effects, another one, I think?

He may have valid points he tries to get across, but by wrapping them in an offensive medium, he loses all credibility. Also, asserting there are hundreds of thousands of lost subscriptions without citation, he sounds like he is talking out of his hind end. His post therefore could not be considered valid by any stretch of the imagination.

You have earned 63 Forum Valor. (And shame on you for not looking...)

It's not all of them... Kaliyo and Vette come with regular green guns. Someone told me in old beta all the comps came with moddable guns but they took them out. Maybe just an incomplete move by the devs...

Just an informal poll... I find them both so endearing. They get more awesome when combined with that key due west of the "A" key. (Made you look...)

Now that forum search is enabled again, you should root around for some of the posts about this topic. I am pretty sure that I saw some about how to put together the cheapest rig that will be adequate for the game. I think some of them were in the $500 range, but I can't remember...

I say this gently, but you might get a better set of responses if you post in the Marauder subforum of SW...

"Did you train a monkey..." "Get your sh*t together..." These are some of your phrases. Who raised you? Is this how you try to implement change? Do you send emails for work? Do you have a job? You should take a breath and try again. Edit: Also, what is your source for hundreds of thousands of subscritions lost...? Source, please...

Lol. The spelling errors in the blog and the spelling errors that the OP "wrought"... Hysterical garbage masquerading as journalism. It gave me a good laugh though. People make fun of the grammar police, but I don't think they understand how much of an idiot you look like when your "serious piece" is rife with spelling and gramatical errors. The NY Times, this was not. Also, please realize that you need citations to back up your assertions. /boggle

Been playing for a while, thought I was pretty knwledgeable until one day I discovered that some of your companions come with Green weapons that act just like Orange weapons and have 4 moddable slots... Ensign Temple and Malavai Quinn have Green "Orange" weapons... there may be others, but I tossed them all! Don't toss those guns/swords/staves until you look at them!

The HM FP boss drops only 1 that everyone then rolls on...?

Meh. By a quick and dirty hash tag count I got 78 think that SWG Crafting was fantastic and 3 that did not. Even haters of the game admit that the crafting was top notch and engaging. (The other being space combat, which, involved crafting/mining/re-engineering, lol.) You are just making stuff up when you say the majority of people that crafted in SWG did not like it. First of all, it's just a silly statement. "Oooh, I hate this so much that I am going to go to swgcraft.com every day and drop harvestors, and look there's a good avian meat out now, get to Lok..." No one is going to do that if they hate it. Made up thread is made up. Signed, your Starsider 12 point Chef.

Everyone keeps talking about the "IA Nerf" and that's not what is happening... It's an Operative nerf. IA really does have 2 very different AC's. One melee and one that should be staying at extreme range as much as possible. That being said, I am loving my Lvl 48 Sniper. Great story, engaging play style.

When I got Ensign Temple, I happened to notice that her Green dual weapons, while Green, are moddable just like Orange gear. They have the standard 4 slots for weapons and I have modded them more than once. She's the first one that I noticed this on, as I tossed all the other gear for companions at a certain point. I mentioned this to my SW friend and he says he noticed that his 2nd companion, Malavai Quinn has a green moddable pistol. (That's where he is in the progression, the 2 plus the ship droid.) From what I have seen, it's just the weapons, but just be careful and take a peek at your companion's gear before you toss it. Helpful tip for the day!
