Where's the style option in the preferences? I want to be able to turn the graphics style down so I can run it on my laptop. I need to turn it down from photo realistic to Spongebob.

Since the release of the LFG I've occasionally come across questionable players that don't pay attention or just plain don't have a clue. I know that if I throw them on my ignore list that I won't have to worry about running with them again, but that also means that I won't see them in chat either. While I know their skills are lacking that doesn't mean they're horrible people that I should ignore completely. I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to see a separate list from the ignore list so I can avoid them in LFG without completely ignoring them in case they're actually pretty decent people.

Like many have already said, cross server really won't make much of a dent on the que times due to the ratio or tanks/heals to dps. So far since patch my que times on my sentinel have been about the same as my dps toon from back in WOW. Honestly, what'll help more than anything is to include Dual Spec and an incentive to queuing up as tank or heals. Personally I still don't think that'll allow dps to get near instant ques. Ultimately many will want to just dps only regardless of the options put out before them, but that just comes with the territory of choosing to be dps. If you want faster ques, go tank or heals, otherwise suck it up.

While that is true, since we are getting a server only LFG I don't think the problem will be quite that bad. Most I'm sure are aware that rolling need on gear for a spec you're not currently in isn't smiled upon. I'm sure it'll still happen from time to time, but those people will just end up on ignore lists and running flashpoints much less often.

If they went along the same pattern they had with both the reps and imps, and third faction would need... Two new origin planets. A new capital planet (in this case Hutta maybe, but would probably still need to be a whole other area of the planet) All new sets of quests for each planet (maybe a whole new planet to replace taris and balmorra) Four new mirror classes (what would be their trooper/hunter?) Tons of voice acting And more I'm sure. All of which sounds like an expansion packs worth of content. While I certainly wouldn't be against the idea, I'm not putting any credits on it happening.

Need some Queer Eye for the Jedi up in here. That room with the holoterminal is pretty spacious. I say we throw in a disco ball and a jukebox and rock it cantina style.

Honestly BW, if all you did was have the crew shown ganging up on the ship droid and beating the living hell out of him as I walked onto my ship, I'd be a happy jedi.

Hypocritical much?

I for one would gladly wait twice as long for each run if it means I can avoid the same kind of group quality I got from WOW's cross server LFG. People can argue all they want about communities and there always being a-holes in mmo's and what not, but the flashpoints I've done in TOR have been far and away better than almost any run I've done in wow since the cross server tool came out. Aside from one group falling apart due to a couple wipes, all of them have been great despite how fast or slow the runs went. I've yet to come across a single loot ninja. I certainly wouldn't want to lose all that just because some people claim to know how well this'll work before it's even deployed live.

Honestly, one of the biggest mistakes Bioware made with this game had to be the ability to see how many players are on a certain planet/area at a given time. People freak out all the time over numbers they can't comprehend. They say ignorance is bliss. While I don't agree with that 100%, it certainly applies in some situations.

The current setup doesn't require everyone to have to move. The less people that have to transfer, the easier and smoother things will be. His idea requires "everyone" to move to freshly created servers instead of preexisting ones. It makes no sense.

How is that smoother? That method would require everyone to have to move, making more work and more potential for issues

Coming this October... PATCH 1.4: REVENGE OF THE THESPIAN!!!! Features include Chairs! With real sitting action! Chat Bubbles! World PVP! New cross faction cantina's added. Challenge opposing players to see whose dance moves are truly strongest with the force! Brand new flashpoint! "Failed Negotiations". Attempt to last as long as possible with three other players at a negotiation table full of jabberin' Gungans without killing all the guests. The longer you last, the greater the rewards! New emotes such as "Patty Cake" and "Vader No Scream". And MUCH MUCH MORE!!! ....funny thing is, I'm only half joking about that list

What you do in those situations is watch the movie than on occasion scream "SPACEBAR!!" just like the rest of them. Granted it has a chance of ending a group run early, but if you're not hurting on time it's fun to watch people get all worked up and play the blame game.

Gear doesn't make the man
