Glad I'm not the only one with this trouble... I've had Zealous Strike misfire many times the last few days. Frustrates me a bit :-/ It does the animation of swinging both sabers "halfway" and then it apparently gives up, and does nothing

Probability of 30 items giving 0 schematic REs at 20% chance, (excel) =BINOM.DIST(0, 30, 0.2, FALSE) = 0.00123 = 0.123% That horribly sucks Never been that unlucky yet.

Is there any plans to create new recipes for Crafters in 1.3 that would provide appearances from the other faction? For instance, there is a (medium armor blue) Trelliad Robe in the 30s that is Black colored and hood-down. This appearance is common for many Sith armors, but is the only source for Republic (that I've discovered). Of course, excluding PVP Armors. Opening up the ability to have a more "darker" set for Republic would be a godsend. Thanks!

Define: Strength & Power Strength/Power isn't always a measure of victory through violence I'd wager that it takes more strength to solve disputes non-violently. (Partly because you have to empathize with the other person to compromise.) If your in disagreement with someone, you could either: - Punch them until they agree or die or - Find some common ground to come together. So on one hand, you could potentially have the "strength" to save worlds/nations from war, and the other you have the "strength" to crush one or the other. I suppose what I'm trying to say is pretty simple: Jedi train to develop a DIFFERENT kind of strength than Sith do. It's when people lose sight of this concept they only judge power/strength by what they can physically see, like the Sith.

Fixed And, not let's not forget the tiny little pixel boxes you'll see in your gear too! aside from that.. I completely agree with your post and the OP!

Mmm.. Premade team of 8 Jedi Shadows in Tank spec. Force Speed through pit, pass to stealthed shadow, score!... repeat... =) I enjoy Huttball, but some classes have a huge advantage in that map.

But, I blend in so well with my Consular's PVP Hobo-jacket with all the dirty shanties in the Republic Fleet. Surely you jest?! You want to clean up the filth? Where am I going to blend in now? /Sarcasm off I've thought that for a while myself, having played both sides... A lot of graphical love is needed for the Republic, not just the fleet.. Armors too (P.S. Don't get me started on Consular Hats)

I think what he means is that there is a lot of group content sprinkled in along the way. And, i t can be difficult doing some of those heroics yourself. Flashpoints would be easier to find teams for. However, once your 50, the the main things left to do are just Dailies, PVP, and OPs. PVP you can do yourself, but OPs need not one but two groups at least I think it's a stretch to say this is a singleplayer game, but *sigh* dare I make a WoW reference--same situation applies there. You can level all the way up yourself (and you usually do, save occasional dungeons). . . . and then their is raiding... and heroics...and ranked pvp teams This game is meant to be social with groups =]

Yeah, I thought about that before for games like Huttball especially. Why not? You get to know the other faction as well. I already know people from Imp side, it's not like you can't communicate with them anyways. Friendly enemies killing each other is pretty fun too. Yeah! Definitely. Huttball is an excellent example of one we have already that could be adapted this way Sounds a lot less complicated than cross-server queuing too

It'll run it, yes. Is this a laptop? (Sounds like an HP one?) If so, expect way more lag! In comparison to yours, I was running a desktop early this year with Win7 64bit, Intel Quad 2.5MHz Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+ 8G Ram As an old machine, it was getting roughly 30-50fps... with low/medium settings on graphically. Shadows a huge impact, if you can deal w/o shadows you can turn them off and be amazed at the difference.. Although last I checked it made Holograms messed up Normally I don't consider Hard drives in the mix, but as a general comment 5400 RPM ones will contribute substantially to longer load times. You can check out the RAMDRIVE post to help, but I don't recommend it unless you upgrade more ram. FPS is a big deal (Frames per Second) because it makes everything smoother, and actions more responsive. When I upgraded to my new machine, I was getting 135+ FPS! So many that I had to turn on VSync to cap it to 60 to give my GPU a break

Cross-server PVP is so depressing...At 50, PVP is the main staple of my enjoyment here. Even as a Republic with sometimes not full teams. The fact is, I've come to KNOW people. This is highly important! Both for your allies, AND enemies. For example: There's a healer that's saved his team up 3 matches in a row; Now you know who to go after and interrupt/stun and CC. *sigh* It saddens me that it's already in development, because that means its highly unlikely that they'll put the brakes on this anytime soon. *INSTEAD* of Cross-server PVPing, I would have much preferred Cross-faction PVP matches. Sith and Jedi working together for one WZ when numbers are low on one side.

From http://www.torhead.com/guide/leaks If you buy into any of that, I have a feeling it'll begin here. Which is sometime after March. Probably come June or July.

Nadia wants to get married, but I told her (In my Head ;p) that I'm holding out for white-bread Iresso Now she wont give me gifts everyday-- the perk of being married in this game. Sounds awfully similar to how things work in RL with Government benefits with regard to this topic :-P I know bug fixes are priority, as-is new FPs/OPs/Warzones coming in March. I just hope that they don't forget their promise made long ago. I'm being patient about it, but I won't get married with Nadia because it's not the direction my character is going to go. Especially since if they ever did SGRAs later, I might not be able to.. say..divorce O.o I'll also note, that my ship was a sausage fest until level 44ish, and thus I had like 60+ Courting Gifts banked up. SGRAs would give another option for this item?

5 republic defenders vs 8 empire guild Premades as attackers in Voidstar--all night long. Dominated. Each class has their own merits, granted, but imo pvp needs # balance before starting

Got a whole lot of Cent Commendations now that I'm never gonna need Kinda wish you could convert them 30 cent -> 10 champ or something at the very least. Cent gear has a bad rep already, nobody wants it but it is a stepping stone for a while as some people claim (I skipped it).

[Monthly] Collect 100,000 {Random} for your alignment! Imperial: 100,000 / 100,000 Republic: 5 / 100,000 [server First] Defeat X with 16+ Players Imperial: 5000 raids per week to attempt Republic: 50 raids per week? o.0 Okay, so it's hyperbole. But, I'm in favor of server-wide activities unless they become faction dependent. Ilum illustrates the madness of faction-imbalance and failure easily. I suppose the real question though is what would you unlock? It sounds more like you're thinking of events to unlock content for everybody on the server (as with AQ). I think BioWare has planned somethings like that, from what I've read on developer blogs.

My only wish involving the Death Star is that it was around to blow up Alderaan now, instead of 5000 years from now. Too many mountains, everywhere, trying to climb hills, aaaahhh the maddness!

They probably are. But, when there possibly 100,000+ people coming to the forums all at once-- can't help it Many games have this problem: League of Legends for instance, and even Blizzard. The only way they can get around that problem is to distribute the network load, onto more servers than they already have (they probably have a few). Posting takes a lot of computer resources (more than you'd think). Searching is even worse usually.
