I have been off for a long while, but I remember back when the cartel market was coming out people were outraged at buying cartel coins in addition to pay a sub. but since i came back from all the conversations i have overheard, people love buying coins and stuff off the market these days and are excited for new upcoming cartel market items :S what happened lol?

meh player housing wont change much - fleet will still be a central part. people aren't just gonna hang out at their friend's houses all day.

honestly though, reading this thread has encouraged me to just ignore my alignment points (people can't see them anyways right?) and just play how I feel is right and enjoy it 100%. besides alignment doesn't give anything that's worth a damn anyways. Thank you for this thread. I will make a brand new character and turn off alignment notifications and just be ME

I don't think this game does a good job of categorizing what is good or bad - but then again i believe 'good' and 'bad' are relative to each individual and you can't really categorize it. Which is why I believe they should do away with the alignment system and just make it a cosmetic option. The whole alignment system restricts the character from acting how they want to by punishing them with unwanted points, and in a sense also breaking immersion. I know I am right and have a lot of valid points, please support me on this and help the devs change this if you agree. Also if we allow the game to tell us what is good and bad we are just becoming subject to the view points of the game devs rather then being individuals in the star wars universe.

seems kinda tough, you can be the best of the best but 1 slip up and they kill you and possibly your entire family as well (empire purge). It can't be easy, even if you are 100% awesome, if your child or parent messes up a mission, you can find yourself a slave or worse. Shoot, even in empire strikes back, vader choked the admiral for losing the falcon, but if you read into his background that admiral was very admirable and had done many great things for the empire. People always brag about how awesome they are in fleet but the reality of the situation is that I don't think many of them would last long working for the empire. Do you? (I really like discussing story and lore, its a good haven to get away form all the stress of grinding gear and getting made fun of for not having 180 gear)

I see but I also think that's debatable.... People always associate life with the "light side" but honestly speaking, death is much more merciful than being taken prisoner - especially if you are being taken prisoner by the Empire. I know I would personally much rather be dead then tortured or locked away for life by the Empire.

are the right thing to do, and some of the things that are considered light side, are the wrong thing to do? there seems to be a lot of different opinions on what is right and wrong, why is this? so are we all being forced to accept the devs idea of what is right and what is wrong?

I been hearing a lot of people saying that the Jugg is a better dps than the mara and has better defense as well - is this true?

this game already feels so much like a race and its super competitive, on top of that you get a notification every 5 seconds of people around you who are passing you by.

ya also sucks cus we got SOOO MANY more people now and every time they do an OP the spots are all taken and since they are so cliquey with each other no one else gets a spot and lotta people are leaving and some people are just here for the XP bonus.

Guildies are the only ones i DO run with and they are the ones saying they only want op merc and sorc!!

they should make all gear the same like guild wars cus first thign people do is look at ur gear and if its not 180 rating ur just crap to them and to get 180 raitng gear is almost impossible, and theres no real ranged calss everythign is either melee or channeling and should get rid of silver mobs they too hard, keep just gold if uw ant hard bosses but silvers are BS i had a panic attack today

thanks they said they fixed my issue but it wont be working til the next server maintenance, when is server maintenance usually? do they have a weekly scheduled reset or is it only when they have a game update?

Or only monday-friday?

Been thinking of making a Vanguard but was wondering if it is possible to build the class in a way so that its not so much melee attacks? (I don't know how different vanguard is, but I do have a 55 PT and I don't like how a lot of the attacks are pretty up close) so can you guys give me some tips on how to build a vanguard that is good from range? I also like the vanguards rifle look over just having a small pistol as a PT. Thanks edit: otherwise what other ranged class do you recommend? I do have a merc but am not a fan of commando. Gunslinger/sniper I have as well and not too excited over them. And op/scoundrel I guess are also "mid range"?
