Eternity Vault for sure. They were supposed to patch a new version of the game in last night, but as of 0300 it still hadn't happened. Not sure as of now though.
 


Very nice. Anyone know a populated server or how to check on server pop? I don't want to get stuck on an empire team that's outnumbered 5 to 1. Also decent players that will end up doing end game content, wouldn't mind a pvp server as I do like world pvp as I'm leveling.

No patch last night, or at least nothing that required a client patch. Could have been all server side stuff.

I just bought the game and created a bounty hunter on Krayat Dragon (spelling).  I saw the link for the clan on that server, but I tried to follow it and it would not allow me to access it.

I absolutely hate all of his companions except for Nadia Grell, the last one you get.  She is the craziest most DPSing companion I've seen

I've managed to hit 50 and get most of my Champion's set. I'm up to valor rank 53 also. Got a long way to go to 60... It gets exponentially harder to rank up valor once you get past 50.



Loads of fun though.

What does higher valor do, anyway?

I do a remarkable amount of tanking, which is odd because I don't really use my taunt or anything. It's just dps based lol

doing the Nar Shadaa bonus quests now with my lvl 26 guardian. Meh, I just don't feel connected to them. ALSO unlocked my legacy, and didn't know that I'd be able to get a Surname, so i used my standard star wars character name, first and last, as my characters name, without a space between them. (Shami Pemas, condensed to Shamipemas). so I think i'll end up creating another character on the same server just named Shami, so that the Pemas legacy name shows up.

Damn its gotten insane over there. The rage quitting going on is epic





They responded to all the bitching in the first thread





Hello everyone; I wanted to update you on the
issues we’ve been seeing today on the live servers, specifically within
the Open World PvP area on Ilum. We’re aware that on some servers,
either Republic or Empire groups have been capturing the Ilum control
points, entering the enemy’s base and ‘camping’ the medcenters,
preventing the opposite faction from leaving their base to recapture
control points. This is not a fair or balanced gameplay experience and
can also severely affect client performance, so we’re taking steps to
address this.
Our intended design for Ilum Open World PvP is that players are
instantly killed when entering the enemy’s base safe area, just like in
Warzones, and that the defending faction can take taxis to other points
within the zone. As of Game Update 1.1, this is not working as intended.
We have found the issue preventing this from happening under server
load and will be publishing an Emergency Patch to address the issue.
We’re aiming to have this patch published early tomorrow morning
(January 19th, 5 AM US CST).
In addition to these changes, we’ll be reducing the population cap on
Ilum. This should help increase performance by requiring your client to
render fewer characters on-screen at once.
Regarding Valor gains, with the 1.1 update, players now receive a base
reward of 20 Valor per unique enemy player defeated in a short time, and
this base reward is modified by the number of objectives that the
player’s faction owns.  The gains are rate limited per player killed,
encouraging players to attack unique players, not to pursue vendettas.
The Valor gains players can see over time will vary greatly depending on
the activity level in the zone.  This is expected.
To dispel a couple of rumors that have been seen today – there is no
Valor gain from destroying turrets within enemy bases, and none from
killing NPCs.
We encourage players to avoid Ilum until our patch is deployed. As a
temporary measure we will be disabling taxi services which would
normally take players into the Open World PvP area. However, players
will still be able to taxi out of the area.
We will continue to monitor Ilum across all servers and will make
further changes to gameplay if required. We welcome your feedback here
on the Forums, but please ensure your feedback is constructive and
specific. Feedback based on rumor does not help us isolate potential
issues.

That sucks, and I wanted to try out PvP. I don't think it's worth rage-quitting though.



Creating characters on Krayt because Kaiburr is too sparsely populated when I can get on. So far I have a Dark Jedi Guardian and soon I'll make a Light Sith Sorc.



I'd like them to give you more leeway on alignment, it sucks that the first truly evil character you get as a Sith warrior is the 4th one.

When they were patching every day at midnight those what? two weeks back? There was a pure entitlement generation kid crying and whining about how he's entitled to play the game because he paid for it and for his subscription, and that it was bullshit that the Dev's were taking down the servers every night at midnight to patch the game and fix issues.

I saw the same bitching in the WOW forums when that game first released. I'm surprised any company would want to make an MMO anymore. Its extremely expensive and if it does have some bugs the epic bitching and bashing that goes on does nothing but hurt the companys reputation that made it.





Bioware has had a great reputation for quality games but now that they have an MMO with a few bugs the haters will come out in droves to bash them into oblivion.

Well, I'm fairly upset right now.

Back on the 7th, some glitch put a character I had in Chapter 3 back in to Chapter 2. Unfortunately, I can not complete the Chapter 2 quest - the short version is that I can't talk to a necessary character because of subsequent story events.

I filed a ticket and didn't hear back until the 14th where I was asked to make a new ticket with additional information...information that I included in my intitial help request.
Fine. I played their game and filed a new report with improved formatting to make the situation clear.

I just heard back today that there's nothing they can do to help me, but my information was forwarded to "the appropriate departments" and to watch the patch notes and maybe there'll be a fix some day.

Awesome.

Made me think of this (my issue is in the crate):

We'll, I finally decided to join the fray and purchase the game over the weekend.



I've only made it to lvl ~6 on the 4 toons I'm trying out, but I like what I see so far.  A lot of the same grind quests as any other MMO, but that's to be expected.  I really like the unique and immersive storylines for each class.  The Bounty Hunter storyline, in particular, has been pretty fun.



I'll need to explore more with group play, advanced classes, and PvP before I make a decision, but this game may be a keeper.  Hope to see some of you guys online!

to make PVP worthwhile you need to at least be in the mid 20's at the weakest, and thats with a decent class, like BH or Gunslinger

A Powertech/Vanguard or Sorcerer/Sage can be competitve at 16, though 18 is better because then they get their interrupt/counter spell ability.  Sniper/Gunslinger starts getting good at 20 with entrench/hunker down, though as a marksman/sharpshooter spec, the class has energy issues in drawn out fights until 30 when they can get followthrough/trickshot with skill points.

I didn't start having fun in PvP with my Guardian until 36.

Well balmorra was quick. Doing the bonus series now. Gonna try to get a group to do the heroics tonight then take on the bonus sith. With doc, my survivability is ridiculous. Need to do more damage though. At 40, with mostly all of my points in defense (save for 9 in vig), I don't feel that I do enough damage obviously.

Also dropped all my crew skills and picked up the biochem set (analysis and diplo). Need to get back to the fleet to learn more skills and schems.

So I got it to install, played for about a week then I had to leave as my wife was in the hospital and I was in the hospital to get a tumor pulled out of my neck, and when I got back the game was unplayable - total crash of FPS. Use to play smoothly, now I can't play for more than 10 minutes before the FPS falls to nothing, the sound gets all wonky and if I talk to any NPC the game freezes my character in place when the conversation is over and I can move the camera around him and it makes footstep sounds but my toon is actually just stuck where he was in the conversation. Then my lat hits 16000 and I get an error 9000.
