It's amazing how much crap I'm getting done around the house with the servers down.

Haha!

Same here. Even worse is I have the vacation time, it's just been too busy around here to use it. :(

I have the time and could use it, but seriously, 4 whole weeks of playing SWTOR and STO. :blush: This game will be around for a long long time, relax and play when you can, it gets better.

Haha! Aric irritated me at the beginning, but he totally grew on me. Even though I have Elara and M1-4X, Aric is still my traveling companion 80% of the time.

For the first time ever, I'm also considering a mouse with extra buttons and a macro-enabled keyboard. Despite all the MMOs in the past, I was always fine with the standard set-up. However, SWTOR has more abilities than I've ever seen in a game! My hot key bars are jampacked and I need to free up some real estate with a few consolidated ability rotations. Thanks for the recs, all!

I'm not a slicer, but I'm kind of worried. All you richie riches were the ones buying my mats!

I'm definitely playing an Imperial Agent eventually. Since I can't be bothered with messing around with character creation anymore (I can spend WAY too much time on it otherwise), I'll just play the "evil" twin of my trooper. Yeah, yeah, I know bounty hunters are the mirror class for troopers, but the agent storyline appeals to me more. I'm planning on playing him as light side as possible, sort of like a double agent, or at the very least a secret Republic sympathizer.

I'd be happy with being able to play a Chiss on the Republic side...
And I'm very happy with my Twi'lek.

Yeah, what DJ said. Apparently the cantina is known for having a rainbow color scheme with a different color for each major subdivision of the complex ;).

and my personal favorite, Death Wind Corridor :whistle:

My husband and I have been teaming since we both got off of our starter worlds. He's a Consular and I'm a Commando. We've both gone Light on every option, yet, somehow, I'm 2000 points ahead of him at level 23.

I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised that, unlike in nearly every other game, going purely "Light" isn't necessarily always "Good." At one point in the Commando's story, he captures an Imperial commander who promises key intelligence information if you let him live and go free. Your contact informs you he is a war criminal who has committed atrocities against civilians. Letting him live (and thus go free) gives you Light side points, but I don't think it's necessarily the "good" choice.

Up to this point, I've been pure "Light," but am starting to think I'm going to allow that reputation to get tarnished if I get saddled with similar choices in the future.

True but that's also when you can give the feeling of knowledge via phone. A short post of "Extending maintenance no ETA" says nothing lol. Don't get me wrong I love this game I just think they need to polish up on their community skills and customer service.

I've played MMOs where they said absolutely nothing when the downtime extended beyond what they originally stated.

"Extending maintenance no ETA" does actually acknowledge our expectation of the servers being back up at the end of the stated end of the maintenance window.

Quote by Aldente

I use a standard keyboard, but I use a Razer Naga mouse. The mouse is not for everyone, but I like the 12-button thumb pad.

I had to take my Naga back. It preventing my computer from booting when it was plugged in. If it was plugged in at any point before Windows had loaded, it would freeze the boot process. Everywhere from preventing the BIOS from coming up at all (if plugged in at the beginning of a restart) to freezing the Windows boot halfway through if I plugged it in before Windows finished loading and had gotten to a login screen.

Razer's tech support wasn't able to suggest anything other than update the drivers (which I'd started with the most recent drivers to begin with). It's a shame because I was starting to get the hang of using at least 9 of the 12 buttons without too much fore thought.

Back to my G9x and relying on the keyboard to trigger my skills.

This is a mod of the XKCD comic Cat Proximity.

I find it extra funny that my trooper is named puppy and his first companion is a Cathar, aka, Kitty!

Sitting here wondering why they have people with no experience dealing with the community lol. No ETA is ever a response you ever want to give in Technical Support or Customer Service it's basically saying we have no clue what were doing but we are working on it.

While I wait though I am working on my blog lol.

Having worked in technical support for 10 years, I can tell you that "we don't know when it will be fixed, but our people are working on it" is SOOOO much better than "it'll be fixed in 2 hours" and then completely missing that mark.

The reason? Either you can work on it for 2 hours and HOPE that it gets fixed correctly or you can work on it until it's done properly and however long it takes is however long it takes.

light vs. dark is not really good vs. evil but detachment vs. attachment... love and pleasure are both "attachments," we enjoy these things when we have them, but it causes us pain to be without... pain leads to the darkside.

We can also attach ourselves to regret... if we do something and things turn out badly, we may regret out decision. Regret causes pain as well.

So... you can totally be a "good" player leaning towards the darkside.

PC Keyboardis the keyboard I mainly use, I also use a rollupable silicon keyboard if I am planning to eat or drink in front of the keyboard.

Instead of a mouse, I use a track ball such as the Logitech M570 since my gaming pc is also the HTPC, I find it easier to use and nicer on the wrists.
