Having just referred a friend, here's the link to the info on it. Note that it says that new accounts are different than people who were previously subscribers. http://www.swtor.com/info/friends For me, I simply used a link someone gave me, logged into my account, confirmed that I did indeed want to use that referral, and everything worked fine. However, I was previously a subscriber.

I get this on a regular basis with multiple companions. Unfortunately, the only quick fix I have found is to dismiss the companion and summon them again. Since armor is only about appearance, it won't lower the companion stats if the game is ignoring their armor. That flashing red symbol is REALLY annoying though.

If what you are trying to do is bind Shift with another key, this works. I have my first hotbar set up for Shift-1, Shift-2, et cetera. If it isn't working for you, some steps you could try based on my experience with other software is: Hold the Shift key a full second before pressing the number of letter. Try the other Shift key on the keyboard. Try a different keyboard, if you have one. Try running any keyboard software you have as Administrator. (If using Windows.)

People have been listing white crafting materials on the marketplace since before SWTOR even existed. For example, I made a small but steady income when I first started playing WoW buying a particular crafting mat from a vendor which was only sold in capitals, then selling it on the auction house to people who didn't want to travel or didn't know where to buy it. Granted, I'd never mark it up to 10x the base price or something, but I also think that shopping around and doing a little research is part of how the market should work, just like shopping does in real life.

I would love to see this, both because I would be able to have weapons specific to my outfits, but also because I've had to give up on really cool looking weapons because their stats sucked.

I agree that a "sort by quality" feature needs to be implemented. Frankly, a variety of sort features would be excellent. I think their lack of implementation shows that whomever designed this section of the UI either doesn't actually work with crafting materials or was overruled by some manager who has never worked with crafting materials. Sort by quantity: Because it helps a lot for deciding what you may want to sell on the market because you have a ton. Sort by name: When you're looking for something, but don't remember the category. Close all categories: Trying to get to particular categories is a chore now. Open all categories: Might as well have a reverse of above. I'd also love to see a favorites list, but that is in part because I have only certain materials I tend to sell on the market and the current setup makes doing this very difficult. I am probably going to have to go back to keeping those materials in my legacy vault as while this new feature wonderfully saves me a ton of space, it makes selling materials on the market awful.

Another post in support. Not only does it make my stronghold look awful, something about the flash is setting off my migraines in a way that combat and other parts of SWTOR do not.

Is there a good list of the actors who voices the various playable characters out there? I'm mainly curious about how many different voices we can possibly have for our characters. Does each class have one male/female voice or is it by race somehow? I've tried flipping between various combinations on the character creation screen and while I can sometimes hear which ones are different, sometimes I cannot tell for sure if there is a difference between some classes or races.

You can open a ticket in game. It won't get rid of the mission, but it may put you on a list for when they get around to fixing this. (I've got seven stuck missions on report right now.) There's also a thread where they've asked that we post about stuck missions. It's up to 16 pages now. The thread is listed below. The format to put your information in was posted by BioWare Customer Service in a post near the top of page two. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=39754

I vote for Cybertech as well. In addition to what's mentioned above, you can also craft upgrades for spaceships if you want to run space missions on your various alts. I've tried most of the crafting skills on various alts, and I find Cybertech so far to be of the most use to me for gear. As for the droids the previous poster mentioned: In addition to the ship droid everyone gets, there's at least one class that has a droid companion (Jedi Knight). I've seen a number of people using their ship droid as a healer, so parts that help that might sell well.

But if you don't get the companion, you miss out on all those chances to insult them in later conversations. When storyline conversations happen on board your ships, all of your companions can be part of the conversation. I despite Gault on my Bounty Hunter. I've threatened to shove him out of an airlock in one conversation and told him I hoped he'd die in another. Oddly, his affection is still above zero because he likes some of my other conversational choices in the storyline. It was negative for a while when I first got him because of the air lock comment.

You can always just use CST as that is the timezone the maintenance periods are listed in. (Austin is in that timezone.) Everyone probably either knows or can figure out quickly what their timezone is compared to CST. (The notices on maintenance show the times in various timezones, so that should help them figure it out.) Or find out what timezone most of your people are in and use that, letting everyone else convert as needed.

That I don't have to keep paying to yank that pre-order bonus crystal out of weapons. There's a vendor on the fleet that will sell you as many as you want for 10 credits each (if you pre-ordered).

You can find your UI settings like font size, chat settings, and minimap zoom at: C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings Where "NAME" is the name you're logged in under. Keybindings are saved server side, so you have to set them manually for every single character. I feel your pain because I too have quite a few characters. Still, at least some of the settings copy over. Two things to help: 1) The .ini file starts with a number. I have characters on two different servers and each server has its own number. When copying data from one character to another, make sure you get the number correct. 2) In order to get the game to see a new .ini file, I always have had to exit to desktop, copy over changes, and then start the game again.

The founder thing kicks in when your initial free 30 day for buying the game run out. So, if you just started it yesterday, you've got 29 more days to go. Anyone who was here for opening day is past that 30 days already, so they're the ones you're seeing with founder titles already.
