Interestingly, I haven't seen anybody say Mako yet! On my fem. Bounty Hunter I got a compliment on how well I wore my armor - and several other little things that make me feel as if Mako sees you as more than just a pal or more than just an idol. I was so sad to discover a lack of SGR - it would've worked!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. Honest, they were boasting their little hearts out that a NEW and EXCITING event would happen in SWTOR and this is what we got - a mess of an 'event' that, in its current state, shows that they have learned NOTHING from the previous event. Catering to only 3 Classes in the game, BoP Adaptive gear (sigh. Could've been Legacy, like we wanted with the Containment Officer set) that looks very out of place - as a friend of mine stated "It gives us something to do, but not something we want to do." and I agree. No crystals, no pistols, no vibroswords or techstaves. Poor. PS. To the people yapping that that Legacy stuff will help you transfer barrels to alts; big deal. It's clearly not intended and if it is, that shouldn't be the main reason to get one of those bloody things. Remove head from rectum immediately.

Does your Quest Log by any chance say: "Balmorra: Bonus Series"? A lot of planets have a secondary questline that you can complete for Exp, etc. :-) It's intended.

I haven't been on any of the SWTOR test servers, but I'm guessing it's along the lines of "HEY LOOK GUYS FREE STUFF WHO WANTS TO PVP XD" - ignoring the fact that they should be trying to break the game or find what's broken. Testing should happen so the crap that happened with Denova last week can actually be prevented.

This Q&A actually managed to confuse me, instead of answering questions. Does this mean Subscribers will have to buy Cartel Coins after they gain them for being subscribed pre-F2P - or will Subscribers gain a small amount each month because they're actually subscribed? To me, the latter seems the most fair but your answer makes me believe either side will have to buy them anyway. :I

Scoundrel/Operative -- an equivalent of Force Speed. I mean, seriously, Assasins/Shadow get Stealth and nearly all of the goodies that come with it and they get a quicker way to close the gap between them an an opponent that isn't just holding W.

Oh, hooray. That means people might get stuck with a completely unlikable character specifically designed to be your same-gender romancing buddy. This means that all the work I put into being the best possible Bounty Hunter and doing everything right for Mako - was basically just me getting stuck in the same-gender-Friend Zone. That's ****. I love you, Mako! Edit: All I really want from BW here, is to make the characters believable. During your Class Story, you'll only get to [Flirt] with the opposite gender and if they aren't fixing that I just want to have a completely valid reason as to why exactly I should fall for the new character they're introducing without making them obviously stereotypical. I swear, if my Smuggler or BH runs into a butch female mechanic with a love for speeders and bad behaviour, there'll be hell to pay.

Scoundrel Main, here - Risha is a boring tart. In all due honesty, I enjoyed her little storyline; but if you happen to actually read the Codex, a lot of it is spoiled before the main events actually happen. :| In short, Risha leans very slightly to Dark considering she loves herself and loves Credits and warms up to you very slowly. As for Jaesa, I can't really speak - but she's interesting due to her being able to be either a complete Light or complete Dark character. From the forumites I hear that if you choose to make her Dark, she leaps headfirst into being completely Dark Side and comes across as an absolute maniac, becoming the complete opposite of the emotionless walls that Jedi seem to try and be.

"Oh!" said the Developers "But we can't have Scoundrels giggling like schoolgirls all the time! That's something only Vanguards should do!" And then they removed the Scoundrel Giggle. The End.

As far as I can understand, there's two sorts of damage - 'Normal' Damage (which will show up in Fly Text as white numbers) and Tech Damage (it'll show up in the Fly Text as yellow numbers). This is also why you have two separate screens in your character sheet telling you about your Accuracy and Crit for both types. If I boldly assume from my experience in That One Big MMO, then Yellow Damage needs only 100% Accuracy because it doesn't get dodged, parried or defended, but White Damage does. Long story short, Gunslingers have a number of attacks that do Ranged Damage, so it's wise to get your Ranged Accuracy up to 100% or over to make absolutely sure you do damage; by the time you manage that, Tech Accuracy will be well over 100% as well.

That's amazing! Now I can think of NOT spending my credits, sooner!

I never liked Body Type 4, but hey this is looking pretty sweet.

Smooth Criminal sounds like an excellent title to counter Butcher's Bane.

What happens if I decide to change from being a subscription player to a Free-to-Play member? What will happen to my credits, inventory, bank items, and characters? Your account will automatically be downgraded and it will operate under the Free player restrictions. You will need to choose what items to keep with you within the restriction levels of the free access. Furthermore, you will be able to see, but not use, your excess credits, inventory slots, bank tabs, and extra characters.

I'm staying in until I know what the F2P model really restricts. (Is it just the new race(s), or will people lose the ability to roll Mirialan/Chiss or worse?) -- afterwards I'll either keep being subbed, or unsub and stay F2P. If, of course, nothing pops up that enrages me to the point of leaving.
