  1. I did buy the subscription direectly from SWTOR page, from my account. Did not use Origin or Steam at all. I even originally bought the whole game as physical copy when the game first came out. Seems very strange. EDIT: Its actually more strange now that i have investigated the payment history. It appears i have been member for 3 moths now and i have not touched any of Origin or EA play siotes at all during that time. Now i wonder if its possiblöe that loggin in to Origin software on my computer somehow managed to do this. That app has been showing up recently a lot but i have always just closed it. Well, i guess its what the Boirg would say "Resistance is futile". Better to just cancel it. Not even need it anymore now that i ownb all the Sims expansions
  2. Hey. Just noticed on my bank that i was charged for somethihng i did not order or hads seen in my paypal transaction. Was wondering if similar has happened to someone else too? Pretty weird thing this. Going to contact support tomorrow, but i was also interested in hearing if this has happened to some one else too?
  3. They are? Nevermind then.. Never done Sith side stuff much on daily basis even while been playing lond.. Some glitch mayhaps then on my Tythonm part, but them being dauly has always made sense to me, since they are just small open world things mostly compared to dungepons in other games. Even Heroic and above dungeons on WoW for instance were on daily cooldown while i have mostly seen raids on weekly cooldown, so i never thought its intended to be weekly cooldown on something small like these heroics Anyways, good to know
  4. I recently made a sith warrior and inq... History is, that for my Jedi characters, i have been able to do the Tython daily for as long as i can remember, so i thought that my Sith wpiöd be able to do the same. Both are over level 10, have done some exploration quests but no class missions at all yet. I was able to do those Heroics once for both characters, but now the damn terminal just says im not eligible. Mwanwhile my Jedi whi are in similar situation can do the Tython daily.. So why cant my Sith do those dailies now?
  5. Hmm.. I did not realize the publicity of some strongholds.. In any case, better option would be to just let people report bad names and moderate accordingly. Now, if the character name could be completely hidden or the titles would all be there to use freely as people wish, there would be no big problem at all, just a minor inconveience of not being able to name the house as you wish. But titles need to be earned, which is stupid. I just want to have my home made and have a suitable name for it. I dont want any "Glory" to show up to other players by some word i had to earn somehow.. Just to have something that i should be able to choose freely from. With freely usable comprehensive list of "Titles", there would be something that fis and if name could be hidden, it would not be tagged to some particular toon. Biggest problem for me is, that the name i dont like is in huge letter on top of screen the whole time im in the home. As im visually impaired, my UI is modified such, that it really is rather big, but since that particular element cant be adjusted or hidden on its own, that huge text will always be there mocking me. In ESO, other players CAN see the name of the house. Guild members and friends can freely visit the house if permissions are given and they can also see the name.
  6. What do you mean? What need is there to stop people from naming their houses what they want them to be named? This seems to work just nicely in ESO so it should also work in SWTOR. Who does it offend, if a home is simply named like "Coruscant apartment" or perphaps something like "HAVOC training grounds"? I do not understand. Seems petty to prevent people calling their property whaat they want it to be valled.
  7. Thanks for the reply, but it seems im not getting what i need. All these things might be good for many people, but i just wanted a waay to change the name to somethinhg more comfy that represenrts that home. Just like i can freely rename homes in ESO. I see it is not possible in SWTOR. Sad, that this is not true.
  8. Like the title says, id like to change my Strongholds name because its a home, not a <Name>'s Stronghold Is this possible?
  9. Regarding music, art and culture in general, thats not how the world should work. Everyone regardless of their financial status or place where they live should have a birthright to enjoy culture. How the world works now, this is not possible in many developing cointries and too often even in western welthy countries, where people should have all the means. Not so long ago, this was possible, because people could do fanfiction books without fear of being punished for it because it takes some dime off a multibillion company that owns some artist or name or right to their work. People could also easily just record music from radio or copy a record and give it to friend to enjoy as well. That was how world should work. This free sharing also helped many great names like Queen, Bon Jovi, Eurythmics, U2 and countless more to get bigger and be known all around the world. A record dompany did not always print enough records back at the day, and without people freely copying and sharing, much less would have been sold too. Many of us bought the original afterwards because of the inlay with lyrics and photos and some backstories as well. Spotify does not make money for artists nearly as much and it does not even help spread music as much as this free sharing did. We currently live in a world where culture be it live or record, an art or whatnot is privilige for those who can pay to hear or see the culture. This is wrong. Money belongs to artists themselves, not some multibillion company making abundant amounts of money just for heck of it. When i play music, i play it fort people to enjoy, not to make money for myself. Im not deluted to think i could even make a dime, but some enjoy it when i do a cover or my own and if they want to share it to someone else. go ahead if someone else gets happy because of it. Same with names. Why should a nice name be a privilige of one player and some variants be a compromise for few more privilitged lucky ones. Let everyone enjoy the name they want to use for their character, unique names just take away some of the enjoyment. That said, i draw back my earlier statement of famous names should be banned on development. No they should not, they should be for all to enjoy. Who am i or some other dude to say what names should people enjoy.
  10. A simple misunderstanding yes. I used those names as an example for name and title in movie. I will not make characters with these name or any other name someone would fee is famous, though i cant know them all. I dont use my real in-game names in forums, so i use examples instead. What i meant, was that my legacy name would be Fal'Dora for example, it is a family name or a house name much like Organa or Thul are, with few characters that actually are of that family. If one of them is Jedi named Faado, he would have his legacy surname hidden and would just appear in the world as Master Faado. Just like the Jedi in the movies are just title and name, no title, name and surname. If he would be a captain of a ship instead, he would then have his legacy surname shown, and would appear to world as Captain Faado Fal'Dora. The title is earned in game, so it cant be part of the name in character creation nor can Faado Fal'Dora can be the name in the name field in character creation, as that name would then appear as Faado Fal'Dora Fal'Dora and as Jedi, would appear as Master Faado Fal'Dora, which may sound nice, but there is the surname which is not part of usual Jedi name convention. You follow me? So when i make a character that will be a jedi or Sith, that character can ONLY have first name in the name field of character creation. Those characters will have Legacy surname shown up until their story is in such point, where the surname is no longer aproriate for the character. My characters always start with surname. I also use names with different surname, who are just part of my legacy, but are not of the legacy house. Some of those may be related to in-game characters having their surname instead. Currently i have just one of those and one character who has in-game name with accent to represent that in-game character in my legacy family tree. I do not play that characer though and im fine having that accent there as i cant even see it, but i also think its wtong that while i want that name appear in my legacy tree, no other player can use that name. If names were not unique, anyone could just use that name if they wish. In general, my name always has some meaning and a certain feel that fits the character.. I can come up with hundred names that are not silly, but are with accent or some extra letter and are unnecessarily long as well, but still look nice and sound nice on their own, but they have nio meaning as such and do not fit a character biography or family naming conventions. It might be, that my naming conventions are unnecessarilyt complicated too, but as my character is who i am when i play that character, it is important to have each detail JUST right. If i happen to have some nice name that suits my character, i dont see why someone else cant also use it... What gives me exclusive rights to some nice names? Nothing should, they should be right that everyone has. I would also love to see characters with same names, maybe then to talk with them a bit and maybe ask what led them to pick that same name i liked. It could also be a good conversation starter.
  11. I have not been playing for a while, not since Rise of Hutt cartel, so changes are expected and if my legacy name that i chose at launch is no longer unique, i most propably would not even notice as i dont need to name it anymore.. In any case, famous names and such, those should be banned by developers in the first place. Litle imagination is good for anyone and as far as i am concerned, nobody really needs famous names or titles in the character names, titles should come from playing the game. That said, im sure there are many others who have noted the lack of free names, but as many think its not a big problem, they dont often bother talking about it here. From reading past posts in various forums about similar issues, people have been shunned and silenced by "Use ijmagination" and "I can always get the name i want" and all that. No wonder people dont dare to question the naming conventions of games as response isusually not very good. Problems with names usually occur, when i have a legacy name which is my family name at the same time, so i use a legacy surname which means i am not going to use two part names. Some names dont rhyme well with my legacy name, so i dont want to use them and they are not "Suitable" for the games in way they sound if you know what i mean, if you dont its okay. Usually i wish to also use shorter and simpler names that make sense rather than long complicated names. It just sounds better to have a name like Jimbo instead of Jimbobambobuu Or something like Elćartakena or some such. Naturally naming gets much easier with those characters that do not belong to my legacy family. They can use surnames, so those i almost allways get what i want to get, but even if i only have 4 characters that belong to my legacy family, there is only one name left that is the right name for that character. Server merges stole all my other names from me. Thank you BW for that... Why not use two part names on all? Couple of examples.. I dont believe we have ever seen Master Luke Skywalker or Darth Anakin Skywalker or Master Vindu "Afdd surnames".. Jedi and Sith as i see them, have the title and name, though there may be exeptions i have not noticed or dont remember. Those name generator? It seems theres only one generator for all these days and names it gives are pretyty gibberish and bad in any game, though they might give some ideas. There was one exellent Star wars name generator though, but that has been taken down and is no longer usable. The fantasy name generators that are out there, just give unnecessarily long names which are made from prefix and suffix that often dont even fit eachother very well. Since at least one game can make unique names obsolete, so should others. Unique names should not be necessity these days.
  12. Especially after playing STO, all other games seem badly made regarding names.. Though SWTOR seems to be the game with least available names so far, including World of Warcraft. Especially after server merges. Lost few good names on that, all of them exept one to be honest. In any case, we do have a unique handler for names, if legacy name is still unique that is... Why not use it to free names for people? Getting kjust a right name without a useless "Twist" or apostrophe or other special mark would be better. Names are very important to make the character be exactly who it is. In Star Trek Online, i am alwaays able to take a name i want, no character of mine needs to have a compromised name because the right name is taken... This should be standard in all games. For example if my legacy name is Hubbabubba... My Character is gumbi.. Then a mail for that character could just be sent to Gumbi@hubbabubba. This way the mail would arrive to character without need of unique character names.. If someone want to send a general mail to that legacy for all characters to have access, then the legacy name would only be used. The game code itself might need some more doing to make this posible, but i cant see Hero engine not being able to do this, as this is how i send mail in ESO which is also based on Hero engine, though more modified version instead. The lack of free names is frustrating as is use of apostrophies and í and such, this should not be necessary at all.
  13. Thanks for that link. Looks good Yeah. I was wishing currently on my trooper play to romance with Elara, but no options yet so i let Aric more to my characters life instead.. Maybe i should have waited more. I hope we all get our wishes someday, if they are at least somewhat rational, but romance should have no gender locks and players should have been more control over the stories of their own, including the way their companions seek love. Some other things are also sadly without options... Like i was recently on recruiting Tanno Vik.. I do not like the guy and his way of doing things and agree with Elara as my XO. I would have loved a choice between Fuse and Tanno instead... As long as my character was concerned, Fuse redeemed himself and was more HAVOC material than Tanno was.. At least on my HAVOC team.... Other choices between story characters as companions would have been great with romance added as well.... Like this SIS guy in story i currently play.. I would have loved him as romance option outside companions for combat, but maybe companion in Legacy famioy instead.
  14. Hey. I skimmed through some posts and wiki pages to see which companions are able to do this... Was a bit unclear as posts are controversial with wiki page, which might or might not be updated for a while... One controversy in Wiki page was with my own playthroughs too, so im not sure if that site is even accurate... It stated Khem is able to have romance with both which is like.. Yeah im not opposed if someone wants it, but i have not even seen any flirt options for him... EVER.. Also it seems that according to wiki page, the gender neutral romance options are severely limited, which if rue, is a bit frustrating. Like Vette for example, i was planning to play as female and romance her, but this is not possible regarding the wiki. Meh. But in any case, which companions are able for gender neutral relationships?
  15. Hey.. So i have been playing many hours a day since i came back after last christmaas and found out few minor issues.. Well issues that tend to be forgotten in the long run but felt great for a short moment.. Following has been my ongoing issue with the "New" game after i returned. Last i played, was when rise of the hutt cartel was launched. First off, why i keep playing... Its the story/Stories.. They are the one that keeps the game floating for me and the fact, that i love Star Wars lore and also the fact that this is not "Yet another sword&magick&horses" game... Well it sort of ism but it has technology, spaceships and stuff so the setting is different. But im not sure how that will work out after i finished all storylines for all classes... Then tyhe stories are not that new anymore, even if i make different choices, choose between light/dark and so forth.. i doubt the game, because after i returned i have not been able to make my class to what the character is. I have no hybrids... Aall i have is bunch of passives with no active ability choices like in talent trees plus in addition, i am always playing an optimised version of class meant for one of 3 roles available in the game... None of those optimals i like at all.. There is Consular... What i used to love was between sage and shadow, with enphasis on shadow or sage but having abilities that are no longer available due optimised classes.. I cant have any meaningful range as Vang/uard/powertech.. Im stuck playing a slass that somehow got an idea that its a good idea to shoot people at close range where instead, a melee weapon would actually be useful... Much like its silly in Warcraft now, how you can just use bow at point blank range.. Just couple of examples.. All i have is binch of optimised class builds that people used to be able to google in the old times and do them like that... Just as easily as they can do it now, since they still "Have to" google for right talents or they rather FEEL like they have to be optimised.. In any case, i have litlew control over what my characters abilities are and no options to talent additional support abilities or at least make a character that is something less that optimised... I feel frustrated, that i have to play DPS/TANK/HEALER when i mostly or practically always solo play my story... What i would need is something not designed for some certain situation in a group content... I really miss tyhe way i could make my own characters of the classes that were available instead of just picking developers or some HC niche playstyle version of the class i actually want to play. Classes feel pretty stale is all and that is my problem. No way to customise them to what suit my story or playstyle.
