Yes, we PTS Crafters did our share of reporting on the PTS forums, but we were overwhelmed by the Class balancing whiners that we'd have to keep bumping our posts to keep them on the first page

Wow, Necro thread indeed You're not going to get any "Official reply" regarding nvidia's 3D Vision cause it's not "Officially supported" (much like SLI isn't "Officially" supported, but it works... to some extent at least ) If you have a monitor 27 inches of larger, then you'll have a awesome experience playing Swtor in Stereoscopic 3D. I used to play in Stereoscopic 3D using nVidia's 3D surround ( 3 monitors - 2 GTX680's in SLI ) but after swapping the 2 GTX680 with one GTX Titan, I play in normal Surround vision (non-stereoscopic 3D version) 3D Vision works to a degree (if you don't mind the small glitches, like your mouse won't be in 3D making targeting difficult - and nameplates don't render in 3D - I turned off nameplates so no problem for me ), but be prepared for a LOT of problems you'll have to solve yourself ( because you won't get any answers from BW by asking for help on the customer support forums ) If your computer studders when playing normally, be prepared for it to studder twice as much playing it in 3D Vision Also, recommended is at least a Geforce GTX 560 ti or 660 ti, any card below it (although it would say it's supported) you'll be facing a 3D vision "Slide Show" (Also note, AMD/ATI Radeon cards can't run nvidia's 3D vision) [Edit] I found a thread regarding 3D Vision and Swtor Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion on the 3D Vision forums (link below) https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/540079/3d-vision/swtor-rise-of-the-hutt-cartel/

Maybe you should run the repair tool? My Artificer is still level 50 and has a ALL of the Grade 28 Purple Hilts and 8 Enhancement schematics by RE'ing them. Had absolutely no trouble RE'ing them. I usually wait until off-peak hours (like 4am) when there are less than 50 people on fleet to do all my RE'ing.

Wow, nice! Thanks Also, if you didn't know, you can download the MP3 files from the game right from this site http://www.swtor.com/info/news/news-article/20111201

New to crafting? Grade 22 (Level 49) Prototype Augments take 21 minutes to craft each. Even if you managed to get a purple schematic, Good luck getting a hold of the purple mats (you need 4 per) cause they're SUPER RARE at the moment. I've got 6 accounts and 18 Slicers doing missions round the clock, and so far I've only managed to get 12 Purple mats, and I won't sell any until I get all my 55's geared

If you tested on the PTS 2.0 you'd know and that's all that drops from missions... On the PTS 2.0, they were pages of these selling on the GTN for just above vendor sell prices

You have to buy a Orange Modable (filled with mods) equipment and pull the Mods out, since there are no cybertech schematics for Reflex 14 Mods nor do they sell the Mods alone. I don't know about Republic side, but on the Imperial side, you can purchase a Level 33 Orange on the Taris Equipment Commendation Vendor ( I think Balmorra on the Republic side ) called "RD-15A Mercenary Greaves" for 12 Planetary Comms, which has a blue Reflex 14 mod ( Aim 24 Endurance 12 ) If I were you, I'd just get the Blue Agile Mod 14A ( Aim +22 Endurance +12 Power +3 ) or the Blue Nimble Mod 14A ( Aim +22 Endurance +12 Critical +3 ), cause that would be much cheaper Also Note: you can't pull this mod out and RE it to get a schematic .

Yup. I guess they're "Working as Intended" as I wrote in the other thread http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=622670 I did intensive testing on the PTS 2.0 and the below is a small portion of my testing for UWT and Slicing during the PTS. (in Spoiler tags) After around the 20th missions, I converted everything to Excel format. Note: Mission times and Prices may have change on Live ( I have no idea, because I don't have early access ) UWT : Initial Yields and Yields after the 3/6 Patch Slicing : Initial Yields and Yields after the 3/6 Patch

Working as Intended. I tested intensively on the PTS 2.0 (over 500 missions each) and the yields were poor for ALL 450 Harvesting missions, including the one-time only harvesting missions as well. We all reported our findings on the PTS forum. At one point, some harvesting missions only gave 1 component ( 2 on a Critical ) for moderate and abundant, and 2 components (3 on a Critical )for bountiful and rich missions ( Also, Bountiful and Rich missions had a high percentage to fail ) Send out 5 companions only to get 5 to 8 components, when you needed 4 components to craft a piece of gear I had to resort to RE'ing the "Free" purple gear in order to acquire the mass quantities of components needed to craft greens, RE them to get Blue schematics, RE more free purples to get more components, craft Blues, RE the blues to get the Purple schematics, and THAT took a load of time. Imagine if you were to Harvest (thru missions) to get all the components :

You can always change it to one of these http://www.swtor.com/info/media/wallpaper just make sure it's the 1920 x 1080 one Download the wallpaper, change the file name to " LoadingScreen.jpg " (without the quotes) and replace the one in [Your Swtor folder ] > [swtor folder] > [retailclient folder] > [ LoadingScreens folder ]

One fail in about 5-8 missions seems about right I guess this would be "working as intended" because it was like this on the PTS 2.0. I spent almost the whole time PTS was up for 2.0 testing doing harvesting missions and crafting ( I've got 6 accounts, 6 computers and a LOT of time on my hands ) and have a log of over 500 missions for each harvesting skill. Since I don't have early access, I'm hoping they fixed the yields of some of the harvesting missions.... because some Harvesting skills, the yields were pretty low... like a moderate and abundant would only yield 1 component, bountiful and rich missions would only yield 2 components (non-crit) and some of these missions took over an hour to complete....

I agree that the new splash screen looks poor It looks like some artwork a kid drew (perhaps a child of an employee) and they said "Hey, let's use this!" kinda... I've been using my own splash screen for a while, and as long as it's a 1920 x 1080 Jpeg picture with the same file name ( LoadingScreen.jpg ), you'll be able to use it My splash screen has some "Adult" content ( I had a female model pose as a Sith and Jedi partially naked and used photoshop to mix in images from the game ), so posting the link here may be inappropriate, but you can use anything you like I believe it get's overwritten if you do a repair... not sure, so keep a backup of your favorate splash screen

Playing Swtor from Japan. My download speed average was around 15MB/s on a 1GB/s (1000MB/s) Fiber Optics connection. I finished patching is less than 10 minutes. Did this on 6 separate desktop PC's. Download speed on a laptop on wifi was a LOT slower at around 2-3MB/s even though the wifi router is connected to the 1GB/s Fiber Optics line. Still finished patching in around 20 minutes. If the connection to your ISP is fine, then most likely there's a bottle-neck somewhere between your ISP and BW's ISP, which BW, nor BW's ISP has no control of. The best your can do is contact your ISP and send them the results of your Pathping and have them contact where ever the bottleneck is occurring.

Dial-up connection? Mine finished in about 10 minutes.
