  1. Don't think so, I think 'The Emperor Strikes Back' is a little ways down the road.
  2. The Jedi Mind Trick isn't any more potent than a typical hypnotic suggestion. It's just able to be applied instantly. That's why it's described as 'a strong influence on the weak minded'
  3. Dominate your destiny, not neccessarily dominate you. It means once you do something Dark-Sided you have to live with that for the rest of your life. Even if you turn away, you spend the rest of your existence living it down. Every day of your life you're looking over your own shoulder, questioning everything you do, afraid every choice might take you back. Oh, and Krystian, the quote comes from Empire Strikes Back.
  4. Basically its become standard procedure in MMO game development not to talk about something unless it's in a final form. As long as the 'secret space project' is in development, it'll remain the 'secret space project' to avoid the inevitable firestorm that will result when they say it'll be a but ends up being b.
  5. Which proves my point. Bioware wanted to do these things, but reality came up and smacked them in the face.
  6. I think you're underestimating Bioware's amibition. Having a branching storyline is fine when you're only doing 1 story. But when you're doing 8 the cost just becomes astronomical. I'm certain Bioware wanted to do a storyline with real consequence, but reality and EA's purse strings just got in the way.
  7. Drop a bowling ball on your toe and write out the sound you make phonetically. That should give you a sufficiently angry sounding last name.
  8. The force is 'An energy field, created by all living things' The force is, in essence, a creature, and every living thing in the Galaxy is just one of its cells. Force sensitives represent a combination of the Force's Nervous and Immune systems. Without them the Force would devolve into an inert mass. That said. Emotions, even negative ones, are perfectly natural and a part of the Force. The difference between light and dark are whose emotions. A Dark Side force sensitive becomes so not through hate or fear, but the underlying selfishness those imply. The transition from light side to dark occurs when a person puts their own concerns over the Force's to the point where they stop channeling the Force, and instead start stealing from it. Dark side energy is the rotten, corrupted Force that results from this parasitic transfer. To the Force, it's a toxic pus. Like any living creature, a state of balance is a state of health, which means a state free of this corruption.
  9. Think of it this way: The term 'Living Force' is meant to be taken literally. The Force is a macrocosmic being to which every living being in the Galaxy belongs, much like we are a collection of cells bound into a larger entity. Force Sensitives are much like nerve cells, a particular breed of cell that's slightly more aware of its existence as part of something greater. A light sided Force user accepts their part in the greater whole. Through that oneness they call to the Whole for guidance, and call to the Whole for action. A light Force User picking up an object with telekinesis is analogous to when an itchy patch of skin compels you to scratch. That small patch of skin called to you for action and you responded. A dark sided Force user uses self-centered passions and negative emotions to rip away from the Whole, grasping and tearing what energies it can. And by the very act of ripping this energy away, the energy rots and withers, becoming what is known as Dark Side energy. Dark Side Force users are, at best, parasites and, at worst, cancerous blights on the Galaxy. So, yeah, it might sound like a Light Sided Force user is a slave, but they're a slave to a master with no will of its own. The Force doesn't have an Ego. It isn't self aware, nor does it have a will to impose upon itself. So Light Siders are slaves to a master that blindly responds to their commands without question or thought.
  10. Any of those three Prototype quality resutls from RE-ing the Heavy Military Belt can be themselves RE-ed into one of several purple level schematics.
  11. Fortified Lacquerous Jacket, lvl 39 medium armormech pattern, is the particular model you're looking for.
  12. The difference is that Assault Plastique (despite appearances) is a single target ability. It gives you a higher damage option for when you don't want to break CC or when you're dpsing a lone target. Whether or not that's worth a talent point to you is up for debate.
  13. In this case, I believe it's the particular pattern you're working on. Crit formula for missions is: 10% for orange missions 15% for all other missions +1-5% based on affection +companion crit trait if applicable Since the armor you're making is orange difficulty, it has a reduced crit chance.
  14. How, exactly? When you're doing platforming segments, your companions just sit on the ground looking up at you. Occasionally they teleport up to you and just stand there. They have no collision even when they do, so they have no measurable impact on your platforming.
  15. As far as the one on Nar Shadda, if you aggro any mobs while drifting overhead, your companion can easily deal with them until you drift out of range. Plus it's an Aim datacron, and there's zero loss for a sith warrior to come back at, say, 25, when there's 0 chance of you aggroing anything while on the kiosk. As far as the one on Taris, if you aggro anything while hopping up the shelves, just keep going, you'll be out of their range in seconds. You'll just take a couple hits and have to work without sprint until they evade. Which is probably a good thing. And again, that Datacron is Cunning, so you're free to come back at a higher level to not aggro anything.
