  1. Yes. Using the datacron doesn't advance the character's story; it will only bump you up to level 70 and grant you a set of level 70 gear.
  2. You need to read the article linked above. Third bullet point under the CURRENT SUBSCRIBERS sub-heading:
  3. A sticky thread about next week's maintenance, there is. Posted yesterday, even.
  4. Then they'd get harangued for not saying anything of import. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
  5. You bought a Master's Datacron to use on a lvl 70 character?
  6. That's a lot of room in which to hoard raisins. You must really like raisins.
  7. I started out doing them both in tandem, but I fell into the habit with my later characters of completing the class missions first and then going back to do the planetary arc missions. And then sometimes I'll skip the planetary arc missions and do heroic missions instead. The planetary arc missions get boring FAST since they are the same for all classes within each faction; to the point that I've recently datacron'd most of my characters so that I can get away with doing just the class missions.
  8. Funny, both of my previous posts in this thread started out much longer, with justification as to why I soured on the MM aspect of MMOs. My home video game history started back when Pong was the big rage in home video games back in the '70s. I tried the multiplayer thing with the advent of Diablo and Battle.net, and again with D2 and the Eastern Sun mod of D2, and I came to the realization, even after playing with a group of good friends, that the only multi-player scheme with which I am compatible is the Player 1 vs. Player 2 of those Ancient Times. It is true that I am better-suited to aRPGs, but if there is a solo aspect to a MMO that is based on content that I enjoy (such as Star Wars), I will try it. I don't play MMOs that are strictly designed for group play.
  9. I haven't finished all eight storylines yet so I don't know if it happens with all of them, but the Sith, Jedi, and Bounty Hunter storylines have some story missions in which you revisit the early planets (Tython/Coruscant, Korriban/Hutta/Dromund Kaas) at various times after you first leave them (you occasionally get called back to talk to the Jedi Council on Tython, etc.) I've been running around with a lvl70 character over the last few days on whom I used a Master Datacron (instantly puts you at level 70 but doesn't auto-complete the story, so you can continue with that character's story at max level from whatever point you use the Datacron), and the planet missions (purple triangle) that I didn't do earlier with that character are still showing as available (along with the repeatable Heroic missions that I assume are persistently there). And then as was mentioned above, some of the companion conversations involve making runs to planets you most likely have already visited in your story. EDIT: I just checked with my main -- the one character for whom I have completed the original storyline (I've also finished Hutt Cartel, Revan, and Fallen Empire, and I'm currently working through Eternal Throne with her), and planet missions in her original storyline that I had not done with her are still available.
  10. That does line-up with where I've been getting the whispers planet-side. Dromund Kaas and Nar Shadaa are where I've received the most, along with a couple on Tatooine, and various personal starships. If the planet (or ship) name with the population number is part of the chat window, then I guess I don't have it shut off completely. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks for the insight!
  11. I'm a solo player, and that's not just here. I don't play video games in order to socialize. I purposely stay away from all group play so that my aberrant solo ways don't infringe upon multi-players. Unfortunately, some people take that as a challenge. I have all of the chat channels turned off and the auto-declines turned on, and yet, this week especially, for some sudden reason, I get these drawn-out whispers (it happens everywhere, even when I'm all alone in my ship or one of my strongholds), opening with "I happen to see that you appear to be a solo player!", followed by a screen-eclipsing long story of how much-improved my life would be if I would just discard my wayward aloofness and join a guild. Is there a way to globally block whispers without having to put the entire playerbase on ignore one player at a time?
  12. To what visual effect are you referring, and how do you know about it?
  13. If you are facing the taxi stand that you use to get to the Enclave/Sanctum/Intelligence Building, the dummies are to the left, in a cul de sac behind the cantina.
