  1. I would very much like a Blurrg mount as well. In fact, I almost have every known pet Blurrg and a couple of them set me back some serious coin....but I love them. Please give us Blurrg mounts!!!!
  2. Hey Mokkh... Funny, I do the very same thing with my inheritance certs. Straight to the trash bin. It's all god awful, which is really too bad. So when my mission crits come back with inheritance gear certs., I't's like, crap...more garbage, at least give me another mission and get rid of this useless, ugly crap. Makes no sence, heck, the gear from legacy certs isn't even nice enough to give to my companions. It seems to me, that the way things are designed in quite a few area's of the game, they are purposefully making is so that you simply MUST use CC's IF you want any degree of nice looking gear while leveling. But even in that case, heck, I'm really surprised that they don't design gear that is ACTUALLY really nice to look at. Sure, there are a few nice pieces...but really only a few. I myself could design some gear that would be FAR better looking....??? Anyway, nice to know that I'm not the only one who tosses supposedly valuable stuff in the garbage. Can't even sell them either....even a grand or two might be somewhat better than the way it is now. But on the positive side, I still like playing the game. I don't even bother with my family tree either. There's no real point to it the way it is. There's no incentive, no nothing.
  3. Thanx Golanx for filling me in. Guess my bubble is burst. Being ignorant is sometimes bliss until someone fills you in... Oh well. Anyway....I still think that there could somehow be a way to inject some form of palpaple prestige into Legacy. Imagine if Merc. contracts WERE in the game and ONLY available, say, at Legacy level 40 and beyond. They'd have to be somehow a lot tougher than Kingpin bounties etc. Also, as I said, perhaps some type of Legacy Missions might be fun. To avoid predictability, say, they could be random to a degree, perhaps from a pool of 5 or ten...so you'd kind of never really know which one you'd roll out. That way you'd have a degree of actual excitement, which is usually taken away before hand due to everyone knowing everything in advance all the time....etc. In any case, the only real solution here WOULD be to eliminate ALL possibility to obtain specific things / items / missions outside of attaining a certain high Legacy level. I'll have to give it some more thought. Well...I guess there's no reason for me to look forward to Legacy level 40 anymore. It would have been cool.
  4. Legacy Prestige is what I think would benefit the game, and in the long run, it would ALSO expand the profit stream of EA. I understand both sides here. I myself would also like Legacy to mean something in some way that, well, means something. So far, though I myself do buy some things for CC's, my purchases must adhere to a personal 'code' according to my Legacy itself. For instance, one of my legacy characters was born into wealth, so on occasion, she might loan freely to certain others in my Legacy. So far, one thing that DOES in fact have me looking forward to legacy 40, is the ability to purchase Mercenary contracts and do the missions, which cost 1,000,000. credits, and which, as far I know, can NOT be bought with CC's. To me, 'Legacy' would (or should) equate to the 'gravity' of 'experience'. Like when I see, for instance, a 'General' or a 'Special Forces' soldier, or even a master woodcraftsman, all of whom somehow 'exude' palpable energy, energy from a depth of experience I guess. Therefore, Legacy MISSIONS might be cool. If there were say, a specific Mission at every single legacy, with Major legacy missions, say, every five, and ten, it could be really cool. Also, I know it's kind of reaching, but, if you could potentially access certain rare gear ONLY once and never again, and make it absolutely bind on pickup, well, it just might be a great way to solve this dilemma, and appease EVERY one....including the more 'prestige' oriented players. I usually don't leave replies, but I do read quite a few posts...mostly to learn . Legacy should have some type of real, palpable / actual 'weight' to it. The way it currently ties in with the CC's is totally valid. Without a healthy profit stream, this game could not exist, in which case nobody would even have the opportunity to complain. 'Legacy Prestige'...? Anyone else think it's a good idea..? I don't think ANY one would mind accessing some kind of 'Prestige' . I agree, playing the game IS in fact it's own reward, and yet, accessing 'Prestige' is not being vain or egomaniacal. Prestige is potentially cool.
  5. Happening to me too. I'll try minimizing, thanks. Didn't think of that. AGENT HOTBOX lvl 17
  6. Thanx for the input 'Cleet'.... Really appreciate it. I won't be using windows 8. I don't like it. Also, I won't be buying an off the shelf rig, rather, I'll be building it myself, so I'll be able to create a nice, clean, crap-free hard-drive / set up / install. I 'may' end up using the computer for a few other non 'MMO' games too. I first tried SWTOR the second month of it's release.....and put it aside because my computer at the time didn't seem to agree with it. But as of late....[for about a month now] I've been playing steady on an ASUS gaming laptop....which 'seems' to do OK as long as a few of the settings are turned off and or to 'low' setting, however, I got a chance to see someone playing the game at '1020 x 1080' and knew then and there that THAT is how I wanted to experience this game BEFORE I go any further-----'cause------you only get ONE opportunity to experience each world / and each toon's story ONCE. Only ONCE. So that is pretty much why I want to wait until I can play the game on MAX settings across the board. Also....I've attempted to experiment with 'other' MMO's out there at this time....and NONE of them grant me whatever it is that makes me 'feel' EAGER to play.....as does SWTOR. When STAR WARS originally came out.....I was in my mid teens [1977-78]. It utterly changed my life. In fact, as I recall, I saw 'Empire Strikes Back' at the Drive right near the beach on Cape-Cod in Massachussetts. So even though I'm likely a lot older than most of you....I'm really and truly thankful that SWTOR has come to be. I just wish the graphics were a bit more 'spruced up'. Example....on Tatooine, I really would have liked it if there were 'sand storms' etc....but it's kinda 'flat' and there is really zero in terms of dynamic 'Weather' in the game. 'Weather' can REALLY enhance immersion, which, in turn, can TRULY bind you to the game a lot more. Perhaps in time....???? Thanx again for the input.
  7. Hey Rgrcot---Thanx again for the input. Much appreciated. Thanks for the link too....it's very helpful. I'll do just as you've suggested. It'll work out OK since, thus far, 'slicing' is the only crew skill which I've managed to get going on. You might think it's kinda funny that an guy my age is into this, but in truth, I wish I'd tried this 'MMO' stuff years ago....'cause I really like it alot. I'm considering, now, spending a little money and building my own computer which I use solely for SWTOR, but alas, I'm kind of at a loss as to 'where' to go online for advice...??? Might you have any suggestions...??? The problem I'm having is this : I can't find a source through which to make component choices which WILL do the job MINUS the bias of a salesman attempting to get me to 'spend' 2 or 3 times the amount I truly need to. I simplly want to build a system that WILL allow me to run the game in 'HD'....meaning that I REALLY want to experience the game in the highest resolution possible at this point in time, and, which will grant me a 'lag free' gaming experience. I'm really having difficulty finding someone who can tell me what I need compontent wise to build a system optimized for leveraging 'SWTOR'. For instance, I already know I DO NOT need anything like dual graphic cards, but that I DO need a high end chipset as well as a single high end graphics card, as well as a sturdy motherboard.....but......Who should I go with....???....Intel OR AMD...??? Nvidia OR EVGA...??? I'm by no means rich, but I DO have a few bucks set aside to do this. ANY advice you might be able to share would be very much appreciated. Again, thanks very much for your help / time. I can't wait to get enough legacy points to get myself a jet-pack...! By the way, what server do YOU play on currently...??? Are you a PVP player...???
  8. Many thanks 'Old Ben' and 'Rgncot'. Points well taken. Though I have managed to get going on the slicing nodes, which do in fact show up on my map, I have yet to see anthing show up on the map for Archeology....and....If I go up to those 'crystal' out croppings which I do in fact see as I explore....nothing happens. If I click on them....I get nothing. So I don't know what I am doing wrong. Yes...I do in fact have Archeology currently trained. So I'm not sure what's wrong. Based on your advice 'Rgncot', I'll likely drop the underworld trading and retrain with 'biotech'. Old Ben.....thanks for the info. Yes....it makes sense to me now. I guess I'll just lay back and just level up at least two 'toons' [is that what you call them ?]. I've been calling them 'characters' up to now. Though I'd like very much to get into flashpoints and group missions....I don't seem to be good at finding anyone who I seem to be similar to in terms of experience.....I'm either a lot better than, or much to slow for the people I seem to find thus far. So, that said, even though it' s getting kind of lonely now for me to go about the WHOLE game 'solo'......I guess that's what I likely have to accept for now. Mind you brothers....I'm in my 50's now, and I suppose that may have some degree of impact on 'how' I approach the game play, even so, believe it or not....a ten or 12 hour gameplay time for me seems to be pretty normal now. I wish I had been using my crew skills from the get go, 'cause now my level 33 Sith Marauder is WAAAY behind on crew skill......and......I thus far have a very meager 'social' point accruement. Thanks very much for taking time to address my points. It sounds to me like you just have to figure it all out on your own in terms of 'how' to go about setting up your keys and mouse. Though I'd really like to speak to someone about what works best, I'm not able to find anyone yet who seems capable of speaking about this in a way which makes sense to me. One thing IS for certain : The BEST thing I've done thus far was equip myself with a Razer Orbweaver. I know feel as if I have the potential to attain Powerful control over the vastness of the game's dynamics, whereas, before, I just couldn't seem to control things properly. A keyboard just wasn't cutting it for me. Thanks again brothers.
  9. Thanks again for the input people. Yes, I am aware of being ''needy' / greedy'. In fact, EVERY time I'm logged on....I make it a point to go and actively FIND low level people and offer them help.....and or.....make myself available for help. But it seems to be a kind of one way street a lot of the time....??? My only other area right now which seems to be irritiating is this : I have a relatively easy time now finding nodes to 'slice' in order to get my slicing to 400 [eventually], but I have yet to find ANY way to find 'Archeological' nodes, OR 'Underworld trading nodes'. ???? Does this mean that you may ONLY opt for paying for your crew to do 'missions' on Archeology and Underworld trading....??? If so....I don't see how in heck you can / or will---EVER get to 400 unless through spending ALL your credits on them....plus....it seems thus far, that the there are NEVER any NEW missions available in the crew window.....they always stay the same missions...and whenever I try to repeat them too often...the crew member FAILS. So what I am NOT understanding here.....??? Why is this stuff NOT explained properly in the tuturials....? How the heck are you supposed to actually figure this stuff out....??? If you can, PLEASE help me figure this out....so I can get to work on this area of the game.... I SURE would appreciate someone explaining this area to me. Truly. Thanx again for your input / help.
  10. Hey thanks for the reply...! I currently play on 'HARBINGER' which is 'PVE' out here in Los Angeles. I'd REALLY like to play PVP but I know from the one single OP I did in PVP that I'm just not skilled enough yet to succeed [i died within 20 seconds each time I respawned....Ha ha. I can already tell that once I manage to figure out / evolve my own particular 'style' of 'control / aim / game play......I'll REALLY do well and have fun. Currently, I'm still trying to find the best peripherals for my hand size / play style. Luckily I can 'afford' to burn a little money buying products and testing them out. There's no way in hell I can make use of a mouse with 15--25 buttons, UNLESS they are placed exactly where I would naturally 'use' them.....which....thus far, the ONLY mouse which had managed to do this is the [color=Red]'Thermaltake e-sports level 10' mous[/color]e made in partnership with BMW's adavnced design team. I'm also just now trying out the 'Razer Orbweaver Game Pad', as well as the 'Gaming Glove' which is set to arrive tomorrow. The glove 'seems' like it just might be a viable option for me, but perhaps the Orbweaver will be the right controller. All I know is that a 'keyboard' doesn't 'seem' to do it for me. The buttons are just too damned close together for me to attain proper control. What are your thoughts on these peripherals that I am now set to use....???? Thanks for your input even if kinda brief though it may be. Yes...I finally figured out how to scan for 'nodes'. But I'm still having trouble with play style / control of character. I guess this just takes time....???? It's kinda frustrating not to be able to make the character 'do' what I want him to do WHEN I want him to do it. ANY input / tips you may have for me regarding 'how' to go about establishing / finding a group who thinks alike and actually 'behaves' in a sane manner would be GREATLY appreciated. I'd REALLY like to find / build a group to play with so I can get into flashpoints and missions. Thanks again.
  11. Hello Everyone. Let me first say that this is my first MMO and I'm truly thankful to have finally taken the plunge...especially since it's STAR WARS. I am, however, COMPLETELY and UTTERLY overwhelmed in certain area's and am having GREAT difficulty learning 1. How to use my crew skills, and 2. How to employ crew skills with my 1st character so as to benefit all of my Future characters....? I would actually be willing to PAY someone through paypal to serve as a consultant via emails if ONLY in order to gain a grasp of the various workings of the game. Please excuse my ignorance if I am entering this in the 'wrong' area of the forum. For instance, at level 33 Sith Marauder, I am still not sure how to 'scan' defeated droids or open safes or hack computer terminals for materials...? Also, I have NO clue how to 'sell' a mission on the GTN. Realize in advance that I am in my fifties, a retired competive endurance athlete and artiste who, though old in body, alas, is still very much kick *** in mind and spirit. .............Can anyone point me in the right direction as such to find a one on one way to connect with a master player or group....? My guild seems not to have any patience for actively doing what it takes to help me actually LEARN how to truly play the game for all its worth. I especially want to start using my crew skills to start accruing wealth for future distribution to my future legacy. Believe it or not, I have only done a singl flash point and find that the players are not really behaving in a militaristic fashion but only seem to run around chaotically with ZERO interest in behaving in a true tactical manner.. [ I was actually a battle feild analyst when I was in my early twenties]. Is this the way it is...? Is this the way 'war zones' are....? Pure chaos with zero attention to 'realistic' strategic behavior....? First and foremost, Please, somebody, help me get a grip on how to begin to use and strategize my crew for gathering and crafting for profit. And if anyone knows of anyplace where I can get one on one attention, PLEASE let me know. I learn slow, but one I learn something I usually 'go pro', and right now, I'm a bumbling ignoramous. Thanx in advance. - Sa'Umyazza [lvl 33 Sith Marauder / Carnage]
