Why would he regret having that tattoo? He worked on SWTOR for a good chuck of his life; the significance is there... however aesthetics of it is a different story.

I've been using Windows 8 for a while now - SWTOR runs great on it, the only noticeable problem I've found is the launcher can be a bit glitchy. For example, when typing in your password and security key, you won't see them being in-putted unless you re-click the launcher. A minor annoyance but something that has changed non the less. Also something that has changed; my media buttons on my keyboard use to be able to pause/play iTunes whilst playing SWTOR. They don't seem to respond any more. It use to be so easy to pause a podcast to hear a cutscene. Now it's a bit fiddly.

Bioware doesn't need to do anything drastic like removing all vehicles from the fleet. What would work is if we were able to toggle the visibility of the players around us. I know Rift has implemented this feature successfully. It's no longer a problem when a quest NPC becomes swamped, just one click and he's easy to access.

I guess there's still time, don't right it off completely 'till tomorrow. Though in the same breath, don't hype yourself up either.

It is very easy to play and enjoy both Star Wars and Guild Wars, they're both great games. Some casual MMO'ers may feel Guild Wars is a better fit for them, due to not having to be concerned with a monthly fee. For the majority of us however, we'll have both installed on our PC's and have fun balancing between the two.

That was presumptuous, maybe I should of used the word 'some'. But it's true that Bioware wants players see a lot of the great story lines in the game, adding incentives when they can. Evidence of this is in the Legacy system (race unlocks, ect).

It's not a waste, it's by design. Most players have a character on the opposing side, sampling the storyline. And this random box is to give some encouragement to those who haven't. I thought it was Steve Jobs random at first because I got the four kits that I wanted. Perhaps it would have been better that way.

If they were to be added, hopefully they use the same foley artist trick of pulling paper from an envelope.

I really do like and appreciate the site revamp, feels a lot more polished than before. However, I am having a hard time reading the posts with the black background.

Pretty sure that change is in the 1.2 patch notes. "The Imperial Transportation Authority and the Galactic Republic Safety Council have authorized the use of vehicles in Orbital Space Stations and Spaceports." "On planets with an Orbital Station, players can now travel directly from the planet shuttle on the surface to their ship."

So, when I was playing Mass Effect, I wasn't actually role playing in an RPG because no one else was around? I see what you're trying to say but just because it's for personal use (at least for the moment) doesn't automatically make it bad, even in an mmo.

Lucas has stated before that the only things that are canon are the films and the TV series, everything else is just fan fiction. So with that in mind, it's great that Bioware gives us the tools to create our own stories and role play the way we want in a role playing game.

So is this a bug or a design choice? It looks so odd, please don't be say it's by design, please.

I've been playing pretty regularly since launch but still I'm only level 45. Considering the schedule in which I've been playing, I'm most likely in the majority. So just give it another couple of weeks and things will pick up.

Yeah, the place feels more like a Hutta station rather than a Republic Fleet, especially with all the holographic ads and droids carrying drinks. Are we just renting it from them or something? The Hutts did play a part in my Jedi's storyline...
