  1. Yep this let me out. It seems that only the Character Exit is broken.
  2. Yep myself as well. I'm thinking it's broken. Also when I do heroic event, the bar comes up and then doesn't go away. I have to log off then back on to get it to go away.
  3. I've done it before (gotten on someone else's ship when they started a space mission) to see if I could see what someone else see's on the space mission. All that happened was that my buddy disappeared and I was stuck on the ship. But I also didn't know that about the escape pod either, I just used the fleet pass.
  4. Personally what I think we need is an account wide ban, with maybe an option for short sweet "notes" next to it so we have an idea why we "/ignored" them when we did, if we want to. I've had one instance where I ignored someone for Ninja'ing an objective when I was on one character, and when I switched characters to work on that one, I ran into this person. Something happened where I needed to switch back to my main and it took me a while to realize the reason I couldn't speak with this person was that I had them on ignore. So after a few moments I remembered "why" they were on ignore and it irritated me that I had no way to know on alt's. See an account wide ban + notes would have saved me the trouble. I say that because as long as people keep doing that, and others keep interacting with them, they have no reason to stop doing what they are doing. I wish they would put in account wide "Ignore" options so that if we want to ignore the account of the player, or so if we want all characters on our account to ignore them, we can.
  5. My Addition is this...... ......when playing NC and your team is fighting to capture South, when you and someone else manages to stealth cap East and West, and you then call out "Abandon South and help guard East and West" and your team keeps trying to cap South while the other team manages to sends four players over to crush the lone player who took South..............you KNOW you're in trouble. 1.) Because they could spare 4 players for a 4 on 1 battle 2.) Because even with it being 6 on 4 your team "still" couldn't take South uncontested from them. It's about that time I start to feel like taking Defender points and calling it a day. Why some players get fixated on having "South" come heck or high water I will never know.
  6. Sounds like you want something that does a lot of damage fast. I'd recommend either the Jedi Shadow or the Sith Assassin. Both come with speed, hide in plain sight skill (can't believe I don't remember the name of their stealth skill), as well as a wicked amount of unanswered front in damage. The only thing that bites is that if you get caught by two or more players you'll go down fast, but they also have some sweet escape skills as well
  7. *Sigh* While it's been "reported" multiple times by posters in this thread, those are "incorrect facts" based on people opinions and not on any Tax code or law I've read to date. What I did was I link the "INDIANA TAX LAW" code in my first post about what "INDIANA" is expecting from it's residents. Not one person who suggested that they "knew" (or what they "personally" believed) what EA was doing has yet to link an Indiana State or Federal law that suggest otherwise to back up their claim. Now are you a Tax lawyer and/or can point me to a different tax code? If so I would really love to hear why the Tax code I posted is either wrong or dated. But I also ask, or are you just guessing based on how you believe it works? Although if you are in fact a Tax lawyer, I would love to see the Indiana code (or Federal one that applies to Indiana) that suggest otherwise. But if you're not a lawyer or an accountant for Indiana Tax laws, personally I'd like to hear from EA on why they are doing it.
  8. The OP nor I ever suggested they were committing a felony. The only question we asked was "why they are suddenly doing it" since it's not supported by the laws of our state nor any "current" Federal Law. Now since some folks are obvious "fanboi's and girls" it always makes me giggle when they can't dispute facts they don't understand they suddenly get "humorous" as if that suddenly makes up for a complete lack of understanding on their part. And that's my stab at sarcasm if you missed it.
  9. Here's the Link from Yahoo: Possible Internet Sales tax Law But this law is for the transfer of "Physical Goods and Services" not just IP. But for the record EA\Origin started collecting this months "BEFORE" the law was even voted on. That's pretty advanced CYA if you ask me. Also It really amazes me how many people offer Tax Law facts as if they are either attorney's or work for online retailers facing this daily. I've read 3 pages of them so far and I'm tickled at what I'm seeing. I agree with the OP and also live in Indiana. They don't have a presence and for Indiana this is not for digital or tangible goods as defined by Indiana law. This type of service has always been exempt from taxes: Indiana's Intangible Tax Law Personally I'm also curious why states that have not been subject to tax laws are suddenly being subjected. Almost like it was easier to make everyone pay taxes with-in their system than just the ones who live in states who are required to pay them.
  10. Just checked, for the Republic on Corusant if you go to where the class trainers are underground, next to the class trainers all the low level PVP gear is still there for you to purchase for your characters with PVP comms. It's just not on the Fleet anymore, but is still available.
  11. True, but there's a flip side of it as well. Over the years I've been in a "quite a few" different guilds on different games and one thing remains a constant, players are only interested in playing this way as long as there is something in it for them. Allow me to explain..... When everyone is starting out, everyone wants to run the dungeon/raid/OP in question and there are plenty of people willing to do it. Once everyone has outfit themselves and every alt they want, they stop running it. Or worse, if you want to start running it, and the vast majority has already run all the "lower" Raids, no one wants to run a raid with you and what they deem you're wearing as "sub-par paper gear", even if 6 months ago they were also in the same gear before they upgraded it on the missions you're trying to now run. The earlier raids get you ready for the harder ones, but no one wants to run the earlier ones if they already have everything they need from that run. It's a waste of time to them. I PVP, but it's because I get the time and can do it at my leisure, but I also know that not everyone is me. But my middle of the road PVP gear isn't a match for the top tier RAID gear, and I don't have the time (or interest in begging or waiting for a RAID group for one to form) to run all the RAID missions to get there either. And before you start off with "Join a guild", just how many of you are actually in a guild and have suddenly "forgotten" how guild runs work? Most guilds have Ranks, regulars, some have Family and friends or irregulars that they include. The officers and regulars form the base teams and they always run. But they run together. If you're not on a base team (for fill in reason here) you have to wait for a opening to open. If there is a 16 man run to be run as a guild run and a guild with say 39 members, 32 of them get to run two 16 man missions, while the other 7 sit on the sidelines hoping to eventually rotate into the run. Some guilds are fairer than others, but basically they all still do the regulars run the RAID's more often than the newer players. Unless they are of a class that is in desperate need over another (say Tanks and Healers over DPS) But that's only while everyone is in needs the gear from that run. Often they are always prep'ing for the next hardest run, and no one forms groups for the lower level OP's with regularity, so you end up filling those runs with PUG's to get your gear up. And if you're really, really, fortunate to find one, you hope its with people who won't get you killed on a regular basis. But if your guild does have room for you on a run as a non-regular, its often "Mid run" after someone else has to pull out, but you're still expected to had watched every Youtube boss fight before you even came, whether you were to be given a chance or not, just to make everyone else's experience fun, even if you're just there as filler for the last 1/3 of the run. There are so many holes in the "Raiders get the best gear because they deserve it" argument that I can't believe that it's still being debated game after game after game.
  12. While I agree with this sentiment, I can't agree with it long term. By that I mean, if someone doesn't play for a year, two years, three years or etc, should a name sit claimed when even the people around them more than likely have forgotten who that character might have been that they played with all that time ago? Especially if they see that name on a low level character a year or so later? I agree that some *time* should be factored into to this for things like students, the deployed, etc. But there shouldn't be a glut of names sitting on forgotten characters that have not been played in years either. Otherwise you get things like "HanSolo358" on RP servers because all the names most players can think of are picked clean for any new players. Not to mention players who had to give up names on combined servers when their name of choice might not even be being played anymore on a server. It's a balancing job, but one I'd like to see worked out similarly to how COH/COV did it.
  13. Only cause I'm bored, but a question: switching between classes like the OP is asking about is "canon", riiigggghhhttt? Episode 2 of the Star War Movie, when Anakin and Dooku fight for the first time, at the 1:35 mark of the youtube clip I included, while Obi-Wan is down, he throws Anakin his saber (because up to that point he was only using a single saber) and Anakin does "ok" with both for a while before he gets owned. And in Episode 3 when he's older he takes Dooku's saber during the fight and then he uses the "2" of them to finish him off, right?? Episode II - 2:36 mark But Anakin is clearly a single bladed Jedi Knight during most other fights, but has used dual blades in fights when he wants too. And he's not the only Star Wars character I believe has done that. Switched back and forth I mean. Ok, Devil's Advocate mode off
  14. I wasn't going to comment, but I have to just say this based on you still defending this. In the analogy you just used you said: {snip} Let me turn it around, though. If the person in the next booth chooses not tip, do you think the the waiter/waitress should throw the customer out on his ear and never allow him back in the restaurant? Do you think the other customers should throw him out on his ear and browbeat him {snip} In the state I'm in we tip because it's the social norm, but I've never "not" tipped unless I got up and left the restaurant because the service was so bad that I didn't finish anything there. I just paid for what I used. Mainly because I know that the staff who works there has their salary adjusted "down" based on the fact the owners "expect" patron's to tip. That's just a fact of the industry. But, what I wanted to get at was this, once when the food was delivered to myself and a co-worker (who was visiting my office from New York) we found that his food wasn't cooked all the way through. So much that personally I couldn't have eaten it. When I suggested he send it back he emphatically said no. When I asked why he said that where he was from, if you routinely failed to tip or sent food back, the staff "would do stuff too anything that you ordered" so he didn't want to take the chance. So he ate around the uncooked parts of the food and still gave a tip. That's also the possibility of bucking the social norm. No they don't "boot you from the restaurant/group" but they may often do a little "rough justice" as well if your not careful and make a practice of doing this. So just like your analogy above, sure you don't "have to tip" and you don't "have to say anything to the someone who feels they don't have to tip the staff" but they better not make it a habit or the "staff" of some places will make it a point to get even either knowingly or "unknowingly". Knowingly is when the staff decides to give you "extremely" bad service because they know you're a dead beat and they are wasting their time on you when they could be earning their commission on someone who appreciates their service. "UN-knowingly" is when they don't even tell you how they got even and you may not "ever" know.
