My sister and I both have two different video cards, both updated and she has an uber gaming screen and we both have the watery eyes sparkles. We play a lot and they were not there before the patch. I am all for lively eyes but these downright glow unnaturally and are the absolute worst in cutscenes. It's like the entire top third of my characters eyeballs are getting laser burned away. Outside cutscenes and panned way back the eyes get totally taken up in the sparkle and my characters stand there eyes glowing in places eyes shouldn't reflect like that.

An Arcann romance has been confirmed by Charles Boyd in the Roadmap live stream and by Arcann's VA himself. What we don't know is when. The special guest at the Cantina will be Timothy Zahn talking about Chiss and stuff. Sadly not Arcann. But have heart dearies the romance is there just sometime in the future. Oh and by the way Arcann's VA just tweeted... My baritone is ready to whisper sweet nothings in wanting ears! #ShareLove #Arcann

Sadly, 5.4 will drop the day AFTER tomorrow. Huge bugs, glitches etc have pushed it back. The Devs said it this morning:-/

Get Fraps, it allows you to screencap and record video. The free version only allows 30sec vids at a time but you can get all the screencaps you want.

I loved Kotfe in every way shape and form. I put almost all my characters through it because it was such a fascinating adventure. Being separated from our companions was so gloriously painful, it made the hope for their return even more poignant. I would spend hours discussing theories with my friends, enjoying every little tidbit that was thrown our way and couldn't wait to see what would happen. I would look forward to the tease at chapters end about who the next companion would be. Then it ended. In Kotet the story got chopped and shredded and glued back together a little bit... off. I love the Arcann part, that he can be with us, that is frankly a highlight for me and the only thing that makes Kotet worth it. I missed Kotfe though, I missed the care given to details, I missed the whole chapters dedicated to companions returning. Companions and story, that is why I play Swtor, they are my draw, they are what have kept me there from the very beginning. No! We are not out of patience! I would wait a year to get a companion back if it meant a whole chapter with them and not this awful drivel of a wave and a peck and wham your companion is back never to be heard from again because they now enter the oubliette of "you had a chance to kill them thus they are no longer relevant to the story and will never be heard from again"! (Don't even get me started on the obsession with killing all the companions off) Now they are saying that we will never get those chapters with our companion, we will never get that time. The new norm will be five sentences exchanged with your companion if that and then they are effectively shoved to the back into the void. This is sad? No kidding. Think about how sad the rest of us are that we are getting the cheap knockoff companion returns instead of the rich story telling that many of us have always thought Bioware provided in spades, until now. I understand wanting to grease to the squeaky wheels complaining about group content but this "feedback result" completely alienates a whole section of the fan base and is heartbreaking for anyone hoping for a satisfying return of what to us is one of the more important aspects of the game, an aspect that has kept us coming back time and time again despite various hardships. When the new op is beaten, the dust settled and the "group content focus" has completely demolished the "story content", do you think these squeaky wheels will cease their chorus and return so readily?

I too want my Arcann holo, as someone mentioned yesterday. Yes there is a statue already but we are talking about the personnel holo where they are holo if you have them with you and a solid form if they are not your current companion. All the other companions, including animals are available but he remains strangely absent. Quinn and Elara are still available to their respective classes.

I have always enjoyed putting NPC's, mount's and companions around my stronghold to make it look a little more inhabited. While we are given a fair number of options for this I am still waiting for an Arcann deco. Heck we even have a Vaylin one and she was never a companion. Some here have said there were other companions and mounts missing too? Just hoping we get them eventually.

Logged on today to see that all my characters were flickering and flashing, specially in brighter light. On the character selection screen and in game each of my characters as well other players and the npc's were all covered in flickering hash marks. My nvidia drivers are up to date and the card is working normally. Tried turning off shadows and adjusting other graphics but the flashing remained. The backgrounds seem fine. Is anyone else having this issue? Right now it is so bad I can't even play. Stop flashy thinging me toons!

A few of you are complaining that the server status is not working because it still shows the servers are online. It says that because they ARE. My sister who did not lose internet like I did and thus did not get kicked totally out of the game is still able to play. It is those of us trying to log in since the 'crash' an hour ago that can't get on.

I got kicked off in the middle of a fight about 40 min ago due to stupid ISP. Tried to log back in when internet was back but since then I have been getting the login unavailable. My sister who is on a different ISP did not lose the connection and is still on the game but just noticed all her cartel coins are gone. I read that someone was having that issue before their game crashed. I am glad this thread is here, I was panicking that it my computer but I see its a game issue they will fix when they can.

Yay cool thank you guys that really takes a lot of my stress away. Good to know 22 is the absolute max as well. So do you think these rules apply to just waiting for the merge as well?

That's cool, but what if I get to the new server and want to buy another slot for a character? Will I be able to? Someone stated a while ago that they were able to move all their 16 characters but were barred from making any new ones until they had gotten the numbers down to below 11. Deleting characters is not an option for me

This still didn't answer my question about character slots. I have 12 with sub and 5 bought. I wish to move them to the chosen server. On the new server, I have no characters its a clean slate. Will all my characters transfer? If so will I be blocked from making more characters until I delete 6 of them or will I be able to buy more slots once transferred?

How many characters are you trying to move? People who have more then 12 characters have been getting the unavailable when they went to transfer more. Seems right now all they are allowing is a total 12 on a server, whether you have bought the cartel slots or not. I have more then 12 and am still waiting for more info.

Oh god please tell me this isn't so! I have 17 characters and am terrified I will lose them. I am a subscriber and have bought the extra slots fair and square. Please someone has to know about what happens with more then 12 characters.
