I know there're bigger fish to fry right now, but I've still got two whole rooms to make fabulous and I'm already at 475/475 in my new NS Stronghold. I just don't understand why there's even a cap. 475 hooks... 350 hooks... 750 hooks... Seem like arbitrary numbers to me. It's not as if the game would break if you added another 50. And who cares if some people have crappy rigs and couldn't handle 1000 Ancient Threat decos in one room? It's not like people's personal strongholds have to be accommodating to the rest of the player base. I mean, I *was* about to blow a whole bunch of $$ on CM decos, but I guess BioWare doesn't want my money anymore

I thought the new throne room in the Odessen base was just a locus of operations... not the official seat of power of the Eternal Alliance. Obviously the new emperor/empress didn't just scrap the Eternal Throne -- which is required to control the Eternal Fleet. I'm more interested in why my now-Emperor of the most powerful force in the known galaxy is just walking around the Imperial fleet and not doing more emperor-y things... But hey.

Now when I type the name of a guild into the /who tab, guilds do not show. There isn't even an option to show which guild a certain player is in. Another "feature" of the game?

Yes -- No replies.

Really? I didn't know they implemented restrictions AFTER launch....

Yes, I've played since launch. Please read my post

So I have a question derived from a number of observations... To my knowledge, you cannot name you character anything with "Darth" or "Master" or "The" or "Emperor" in it (although "Empress" is valid for some reason). And yet, once in a while, I'll see someone on the fleet with "Darth" or "The" etc. in their name. Even capital letters in directly after a lowercase letter with no space. I know for a fact that this is not simply their title because when I PM them it includes "Darth" (for example) in chat. And no, no use of special characters. I am able to type in their names manually into /who without using special characters, and they show up. I even blew up the text to make sure I was seeing it right. No special characters. How can this be?

I believe that Vaylin is gone. When you kill Vaylin on Odessen and see the Force effect go into your character, that's Valkorion binding her spirit to his own. That's why Vaylin only appeared in your mind after Valkorion deliberately manifested her. Therefore, destroying Valkorion would also destroy Vaylin. It was subtle, and maybe you didn't notice, but Vaylin was a bit off-character in the final chapter. She was more an echo of the person we'd come to know. The "real" Vaylin would not have chosen sides. She would have lashed out at both Valkorion and the Outlander. I could be mistaken, of course. I also don't agree that Valyin was/is redeemable. I think the writers went out of their way to show us this, while still not making her an entirely unsympathetic character. So much had been taken from her that it would almost feel disingenuous were she to "reform". Unlike Arcann, Valkorion had turned Vaylin into an animal. Animals are not redeemable -- they simply are what they are.

I don't understand why so many people are having problems with Vaylin. I didn't even encounter Force Slam until my third playthough when I missed an interrupt, so I'm assuming people aren't using their interrupt and that's maybe part of it. Never gone under 70% hp -- this is on my Marauder. Veteran mode was a bit more difficult than story, obviously -- still doable on a first try basis. Not sure what the issue is.

According to swtor-spy:

You needed it for the reflect ability in order to defeat Arcann before they fixed the fight in story mode -- where it was bugged.

There's your problem. That entire sentence.

You only need one. HK-51 was the first comp I gifted to 50 for a reason.

Vaylin has a greater command of the Force than the player character in terms of physical manipulation. Hard to argue otherwise.

Dirty, dirty mind.
