I was expecting something similar to the Skyrim thread when this game launched (cool finds, pics, funny stories), but all I'm seeing is FAQ on MMO mechanics.
I didn't get into the beta and there's no trial, so it's... disappointing.![]()
I started my trooper a couple weeks back, got up to level 10 and went commando (not literally, but... well... um... the CLASS). Started queuing up for warzones cause you level real fast with em under 20.
One of the warzone matches I ended up in was Huttball... it's pretty much like reverse CTF if you didn't already know - run to the middle, grab the 'ball' then run to the enemy's goal to score. The map is an odd assortment of ramps, platforms, pits and hazards.
On either side of the platform the ball spawns on, there's these two air-jet platforms which launch you in a semi-random direction up in the air. It just so happened that I hopped on one of those while going for some better position and got launched. Thing is, when I came down, I fell THROUGH the solid platform I should have landed on and ended up inside the world geometry. I couldn't get out, but I could move around inside it and see through all the walls thanks to the magic of backside face culling (3D term). Better yet, I still had line of sight to my targets, and believe it or not, I could shoot them! But they couldn't see/target/shoot me back! It was like nirvana for my little level 14 commando! I could attack with impunity.
But alas, as it would happen, the ENTIRE enemy team kept taking the ball up the entire OPPOSITE side of the map out of my firing range. After about 5 minutes of not being able to shoot at anything, I got bored and /stuck myself out (which killed me).
Needless to say, I got absolutely NO kills during my little happy time, and we ended up losing the match.![]()

So far I have gotten both a Jedi Knight and BH through Act 1, can't stay focused after that and I find myself logging off to play SMB or something else. Or just going to read, on the 4th book of ASOIAF lately...
i think it was d&d i was playing - from behind, i was looking at the underside of my own face. it was like i was invisible and wearing a "me" mask. is that what that is?
nearly every woman in this game (or any rpg) has a killer body
did she have the bun of steel?
I wonder if I will ever get to meet up with Sergeant Jaxo again. She's a crazy hottie and we got busy once, but I have not heard from her since.

Yeah, and then we can hear about lvl 49s dominating lowbies.
I've pvped a ton and it looks like there's a big gap around lvl 30ish. They should do three brackets: 10-34, 35-49, 50.
There's no crying in Huttball.

The Lady of Pain for the BH progression quests was effin hot! She was makin all sorts of suggestive comments to me too. too bad i rolled a female toon. so far i seem to be missing out on all the action.
maybe i'll have some luck with Gault...
mentioning hearing from npc's again made me remember though that i do like how i get in game mail from npcs i have interacted with or helped or screwed over.i got this one email from a npc who i basically made give me all her money and it screwed her from helping her sick mom. the title of the email was 'I hope you die'. lol!
I hope they allow for mod support soon. A thing that is rather aggravating is in PVP situations, you have to keep your eyes on the bottom bars for ability cooldowns, which means you can't keep your eyes on the enemies and movement during combat, this is worse when you play the game on a 27" monitor. A scrolling combat text mod or patch is really needed.

When questing with your companions and you are faced with choosing an item for your companion or the planetary commendation, do you find yourself choosing the commendation over the item? Does doing so affect your relationship with your companion?
The item for your companion is just a gear upgrade. It does nothing to affect your relationship with a companion. Later you have to choose between the commendation and 1 piece of gear for 1 of your 5 companions. Just pick the gear for the companion you use the most to keep them current in gear. The only things that affect rating with a companion is conversation choices and the companion gifts. For what kind of gifts your companion likes, look at sites like torhead.
