SnakeSinger Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I hate to have to post again so soon, but this is bugging me waaaayy too much to just ignore it I have a light-sided Jedi Knight/Sentinel toon, but on his name tag it shows the dark-sided symbol? Why? D: I have the silly Dark V Light thing set to light side (I don't even follow that as I don't bother with PvP) so there's no reason for it to insist he's dark sided when he's very clearly not? XD Edited November 30, 2016 by SnakeSinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Do you mean the golden legendary player symbol that is half imp half rep? And Dark V Light isn't PVP it's a meta game where everything you do, from killing ops bosses to sending companions on crafting missions, pushes the server's alignment in the direction you chose. When the DvL meter is maxed, the endgame players of the winning side can earn dark or light tokens that can then be exchanged for stuff (armor, weapons, pets, mounts) on fleet. Those of the losing side get some world bosses to kill instead. Edited November 30, 2016 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mubrak Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The icons are already being discussed Can't find any mention of a dark/light symbol on the nametag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeSinger Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Do you mean the golden legendary player symbol that is half imp half rep? No, I mean the actual name tag. I'm not anywhere near legendary status yet, I haven't had enough free time to play that far haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trynitris Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) I have a light-sided Jedi Knight/Sentinel toon, but on his name tag it shows the dark-sided symbol? Why? D: I have a light side Jedi Knight/Sentinel as well. The only thing I could find even remotely close to what you are describing was the class symbol above her name. And I'm guessing that's not what you mean. (I have "show class symbol" turned on in Preferences.) Is there any way you could perhaps post a screen shot of what you are seeing? It might make it easier to figure out what's going on. Edited December 2, 2016 by Trynitris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragondog Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) When you talk about the name tag, what UI element are you talking about? Your name next to your face and close to the hp and power meters? Or the one floating over your head? Or are you talking about the one on the character selection page?

The one above the head when you're actually running around doing stuff. And it definitely SHOULD be the light side symbol cause on my Consular/Shadow (who's even less light-sided than the Knight/Sentinel toon in question with the problem), it's the light sided Republic symbol so I don't understand why he's getting the dark side symbol at all o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragondog Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) I can find only two types of icons there. Class icons and Character Flair. The Class icon is above the name and Character Flair is to the right of the name. But neither of them look like the Imperial symbol. Though there is a selection icon too, above the class icon, for the character you are targeting. Edited December 2, 2016 by Dragondog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each class has a particular icon, indicating what class the character is (in your original post, that would be Sentinel). It doesn't have anything to do with light side or dark side. A light side Sentinel and a dark side Sentinel would each still have the same class icon. Here is a link to a dulfy.net page that shows the different class icons: http://dulfy.net/2012/03/17/class-icons-for-1-2/ Note: The Sentinel and Guardian icons are mixed up on that chart. The color for the Sentinel icon is red, but the design of the icon should be the design that is showing for Guardian. Are those the symbols you are talking about, or is it something else? EDIT: That link is from some time ago. I don't know if there is an updated version. You can do a search for SWTOR class icons if you want to try to find something more recent.
