I didn't like the last ST movie because it felt... well silly. The Kobayashi Maru scene was literaly painfull to watch. And more than one "humorus" scene was in fact nothing more than slappstick. I wouldn't have minded so much if they would have treated this movie as a sperate franchiese or as a missstep not to be taken seriously. But no, since the movie was aired I have seen serveral attempts to crowbar the whole mess this movie's story left behind into the canon. Up to the point that in STO, they retconned the BS about the blast of a supernova reaching a different star system in mere hours instead of years by sugesting that the supernova somehow traveld through subspace. I wish I just made this up... So, if the upcomming SW movie fallows the same pattern, then I, as a Star Wars fan, do not look forward to it.

Ok, that makes some sense from a game mechanics point of view, but the description is still counterintuitive. Since whether you are interrupted or simply stopped, doesn't change the outcome.

Then what is "interrupt"? For me, anything that stops masterstrike before it is finished, is an interrupt.

Can't immagine a reason for not allowing pepole to chat in whatever tounge they want. just out of curiosity, wat language ware you chatting in?

Oh, don't be so condescending. Yes, downtimes are something we have to live with. But honestly, is it so surprising that some pepole get anoyed if they get hit with them on two consecutive days in what litle free time they have to play under the week? If users complaining about downtimes piss you off, just ignore those threads in the future. Personaly, I was a bit anoyed too. After the servers being down from seven in the morning til late night, I descided to wait with playing til tomorow. SWTOR isn't a game well suited for playing while tired. And what did I see when I woke up and logged on? "Oh jolly, servers going down in 10 minutes." Oh, and, after reading several threads in the customer service aerea, I reccomend to take this: whith a grain of salt. And that: Was just superflous.

In my experience, somoeone is usualy sitting there and waiting for the others to migrate to him from all over the map. Shouldn't be the issue.

Not sure if this idea allready came up. I would like to see a sort of a "quick travel beacon". A player can set this up anywhere outside combat und other players in the same party can then quick travel to this location. This would make assembling the group for a heroic quest less time consuming.

All this information about how many coins you get for free as as subscriber or how many dollars a coin costs is pretty darn useless until somone tells us what we can actualy buy with 500 coins.

That would be even worse than to courent solution. Even with names "only" unique to a server the only ones I seem to be able to get for a new toon look more like strings of random letters than something I would call a name.

I can understand pepole who don't like Taris. The planet is just depressing. Personaly, I dislike Tatooine more. Sand, sand, sand and, oh look, sand. There are a lot of planets with very diferent settings. But with all the sidequests and the "bonus" sections, wich at the time I get to them feel more like punishment, each planet takes about three times as long to complete as it takes me to get bored with it's setting.

I never said an assault rifle would gurantee victory. I just said, they would work as a weapon against them. Higher velocity and rate of fire will multiply the prblem the Jedi is facing when trying to mount a defence. A projectile with a velocity of 900m/s will cover a distance of 30 meters in 0.033 seconds. Thats not much time to react, even vor a force user. And 900rpm means 15 rounds per second. So, the next bullet is only 0.07 seconds behind. With recoil jerking the muzzle around, not even reading the shooters intent will tell the Force user where the next round will be aimed at. Open field of fire, multiple shooters and too much distance for Fore leap, and yea, guess the Jedi is finished. But that's true even with blasters. A faster gun will only reduce the neccessary number of shooters. If it's one on one, no-one will be able to tell how it will end, but if I am the shooter in such a situation, I guess I would prefer a good old SG550 over a blaster any day.

Acutaly, using contemporary firearms could work. 1. A solid projectile can't be deflected back at you with a lightsabre. It will only be desintegrated. 2. Modern aussault rifles habe far higher muzzle velocity and rate of fire than SW blaster rifles were ever shown to have in any work. We all know, Jedi and Sith are not invincible. Fire enogh blaster bolts at them, and their defence will be overwhelmed. With a modern assault rifle blasting projectiles with a velocity of 900m/s at 900rpm, I seriously doubt any Jedi or Sith will be able to mount an effective defence. Fire from more than one point at once and even Luke Skywalker will be finished.

That post was a joke. But you got to wonder why all comonly used weapons in the SW universe are so slow. Of course, it's because of the movie special effects, but lore-wise it doesn't make much sense.

In the early days, shortly after the lightsabre was invented, Jedi and Sith set aside their differences for an unprecedented and never repeated act of cooperation. Using their combined political and military strength, they lobbied, bullied, coerced and bribed the politicians in the galaxy to put a special law into place. This law forever banned all small arms and direct fire infantry support weapons with a muzzle velocity of over 100m/s and a technical rate of fire of more than 180rpm. With this astonnishing success the forceusers ensured, that no weapon they would face would be to fast to deflect with their lightsabres, thus cementing their superiority on the field of battle for all times, regardless of technical advances.

Hmm... if memory serves me right, then the original plague, transmitted trough the Force by the Muur Talisman, only affected humans and a select few other species. That's why Zane's sidekick Gryph didn't turn, despite not being force sensitive. But, if he would have been bitten, he would have turned, right? Ok, looking at it from the other end: If we permit other c-canon sources, then Taris eventualy got resettled at some point during the next 4 millenia. So either the republic got on top of the Rakghouls eventualy, or the problem somehow went away by itself. Any ideas? Since you are so adamant to rule out conventional methods , what unconventional methods come to mind?
