I've tried everything, from using the command prompt (ipconfig /flushdns) to running as admin, to doing the fixlauncher.exe. Then several variation of everything mentioned, still nothing. Already wasted 1.5 hours...thanks...

I was wondering, if you unlock a race through the Legacy system, will every customization option for that race be completely available for whatever class/faction you want to play with? For example, Human Troopers have the tattoo option and Human Bounty Hunters have their face paint. If I unlock Humans through Legacy, will I be able to roll a Human Jedi with tattoo/face paint options? This applies to Cyborgs too, how some of their cybernetics is only available for a specific class/faction. Thanks!

I actually wanted to make a post similar to this topic since I recently finished the Consular's storyline. I personally was extremely disappointed by the ending of the story. Maybe my expectations were misplaced or maybe too high, but it just...to put it into one word, it was "meh". Like yourself, I heard how bad the story was, but I was adamant on rolling a Jedi Shadow. I love what they represented, lore wise. Not to mention this little paragraph from the class page hyped me up: Jedi Consulars always seek to grow their knowledge of the galaxy, in understanding of themselves, and in comprehension of the Force that binds it all together. The commitment to this pursuit gives Consulars an unrivaled capacity for clarity in situations otherwise shrouded in darkness. However, this same dedication can also prove to be extremely perilous—inviting Consulars to explore paths that are better left untraveled. Some of the Jedi Order’s greatest minds have been seduced to the dark side through purely academic inquiries. The Consular knows the pain of this temptation as a battle-hardened warrior knows the throbbing of an old wound. Before they can dispel the darkness in the galaxy, Jedi Consulars know they must first come to terms with the darkness within. There’s no avoiding the temptation to take shortcuts or even to use their knowledge for personal power; Consulars must constantly check their own motives. When tempted to step onto the path leading to darkness, Consulars must remember the tormented fate of the Jedi who have passed that way before. This is the only way they can unite the Jedi Order and the Republic and rally the troops to rescue the galaxy from the menacing darkness. So, with that, I rolled a Consular. Now this is what I had issues with... The Prelude and Chapter 1 was great, I didn't have any real problems with it. It was balanced in the whole Consular seeking hidden knowledge and solving mysteries of the Force and using diplomacy to solve problems, if you chose to. Not to mention the way it ended for me as a light sided Consular, I was psyched for what's going to happen after Chapter 1. Then came Chapter 2 and 3...so disappointed... This pretty much ends my rant about Chapter 2 and 3. It just seems so disconnected from the class and anticlimactic from Chapter 1. Your decisions seem to make almost no real impact at all in this story after that.

Dunno why you even waste your time if you're not going to be helpful. I already browsed through the first 5 pages, no threads asking for this specific question, everything is mostly about Shadow tanking and how much you're enjoying Balance dps. Please link these dozen of threads that has the exact same subject. Only thing I found is this: This info hasn't been updated in over half a year, is it still relevant?

Recently hit 50, I was wondering what stats I should go for as a Balance Shadow. Is there any sites that are recommended for this information if I want more in-depth info? I've been told Noxxic isn't a good source to use. Thanks!

Before you say anything, this post is probably not what you're thinking of. While I'm not the biggest fan of the game, I do like the symbols that represents each advance class. So I was wondering if they would ever make patches like these available for sale. I'm sure several other players would like to be able to represent the class they love so much.

What I fail to understand is why people haven't tried comparing this game to FFXIV (or at least I haven't seen any comparison). The game had similar problems; horrible UI, lag, ability delay, graphical problems, etc...obviously not as bad in some areas, but problems nonetheless. The fans posted comments similar to what you would see in these forums; you see the fans that defends the game valiantly and those who give harsh critiques. Guess what? FFXIV screwed up royally. The company didn't charge the players until about a month ago and the game came out September 2010. It's not going to recover, they're already merging servers. First impressions are everything. How does SWTOR compare...? Well... Right now, we're paying for a game that should probably still be in its beta phase.

Sigh...IT'S "THEY'RE." If you're trying to correct someone, at least do it right. As for GCD's, it would be nice if Alacrity decreased it.

Is it suppose to be face paint? I thought that was an error or something and that they (the Sarkhai) where suppose to resemble Rattatakki in terms of physical characteristics (pale/albino skin and hair), but yeah, kinda disappointing how weird she ends up looking if you give her gear that reveals more skin. I had the hardest time picking which Republic class to roll, it came down to either Vanguard Trooper or Jedi Shadow. All the companions the Trooper has seems so much more interesting...but I love what the Jedi Shadow represents in terms of lore...meh.

Anyone else find her to be one of the most unattractive/mismatching companions in-game? Even all her customization options are pretty bad, unless the Torhead pictures aren't doing justice. Just saying.

Awesome, thanks everyone! Great help so far, is there a place where you're getting these numbers by chance; a guide or site similar to ElitistJerks (theorycrafting site for WoW), but for SWTOR? One last question, what's the ratio between Power and Cunning? Like how much Cunning is needed to provide the same benefits as 1 Power.

I was wondering if all HM difficulties are similar. What I mean is, can a fresh 50 do BT with the same amount of difficulty if they were to do Foundry or do they have to work their way up?

After reading the posts on this thread, I'm curious on how valuable Operatives are in endgame. It kinda sounds like other healing classes are preferred. Is their damage comparative to other DPS classes or is Operatives as a whole, the most useless AC in-game?

Sadly, no. This game would of been wonderful if it was the first MMO I was introduced to, but since it's not...it just feels old in terms of gameplay. It's also missing a lot of good features that other games have picked up on. I love the story, but it comes down to asking myself how much or how long I'm willing to pay to see a "end" to the storyline...which probably won't ever come since it's a MMO.

Is there a hard cap on when I should stop stacking Crit/Surge and go straight Power? There's really no point going past 100% accuracy for white damage is there? It pretty much becomes armor penetration after that?
