That was a fun one. I'll also never forget E3 2009, when BioWare said they were going to reveal SWTOR to the world and then only demoed it to a handful of people in the media. That was the first thread that I remember reaching the post limit.

As others have said, you don't need more than 16 GB; in fact, you don't really need more than 8 GB. I currently have 8 GB and run the game on max settings. SWTOR is a 32-bit game, so the most it would ever use would be 2 GB (technically it's possible to use 3 GB but it requires changes to the client system to do that). The only real benefit you would see from adding RAM is more room to run multiple memory-intensive applications at once. But unless you're currently close to your memory limit with your normal workload, you're much better off saving your money to upgrade either you CPU or GPU.

So basically what you're saying is that it's irresponsible for someone to choose when to take the vacation that they've earned? Congratulations, that may be one of the most ridiculous things I've heard all year. I am a lead developer at a large software development company, and I am taking the last two weeks of the year off like I do almost every year. I can assure you that, in the software industry, there is really no good time to take vacation. Our company recognizes this, and actually encourages development teams to take time off at the same time (usually around the holidays). Since software development requires a lot of collaboration, having several people on a team out can slow the development process, so it actually makes more sense to have a number of people take vacation at the same time. It is fair to ask why there isn't a patch today. And it's also fair that the answer might be that a large number of the development team is on vacation right now. This doesn't discount how annoying some of the current issues are, but if we have to wait a bit longer for fixes so that the developers can spend time with their families, I personally think that's a fair tradeoff. After all, understanding proper work/life balance is actually one of the most responsible things you can do...

/signed The class stories are the best part of SWTOR in my opinion, and one of the things that really sets it apart from other MMOs. No more class stories ever would be a major disappointment for me, and would make me question whether I want to continue playing or not.

I'm guessing you didn't read what Master-Nala was responding to.

I've had it happen before. Not often grant you, and usually only when I'm running with people I know. But it does happen from time to time. Even if it didn't though, you can't really blame the game when the players act in a stupid manner.

Honestly I'm not sure you could get a very informative answer, other than "it is working as designed". The only way to really prove that you have an n% chance to hit an event is to run infinite (or at least a very large number of) iterations and examine the results. Naturally that's not really feasible, so all they could say is "the code is written to give you an n% chance. And that doesn't necessarily tell you if it is mathematically correct, since it's not really possible to create a true RNG on most machines.

I thought the graphics update included with 2.3 was the only one that was planned. I could be wrong though.

Wahoo! Yeah I finally got him twice as well. Funny enough, after that, I got him 4 times in a row trying to get Novane again.

I had the most luck on Nar Shaddaa, but he eluded me for a while as well.

I played during the last beta weekend, and found the game to be quite boring and bland. Maybe it gets better after level 20 or something, but I definitely did not find it amazing.

Same. Elder Scrolls are some of my favorite games, and having one in an MMO setting definitely has me interested. Other than that, there really isn't much that interests me. I tried FF14, but combat was so boring and bland for me. Wildstar looks like it could be interesting, but something about it just doesn't grab me for some reason. EQnext has me intrigued, but I'm waiting to see if they can deliver on their promises.

Or anything else. Man that guy is annoying.

That has been my experience as well. I generally role with a DPS on my tanks and healers, and a healer on my DPSers. I have used tanks before, but while they do work, they are far less efficient than DPS and healer companions (given same gear level). That said, I do use a couple of tank companions just because I happen to like them. Like Blizz.

Same. Hoping I'll get him/her/it today. Ideally twice.
