Most of the bitching is about premades using voicecomms. They have an even greater advantage in GSF since the relative health of an individual ship isn't all that impressive so a group of 4 with 1 person calling targets will dominate pretty hardcore. I love the new bombers in Domination maps...

Yes

Yeah, the rage over the IAP is misplaced since it's somethingeveryfree game does and even some paid games. I'm certainly not seeing any gates in terms of not being able to progress in the game unless you spend money, which is really the only thing I care about.

I sacrificed my graphical quality so my wife could use the better of our two cards but I ordered a new one for myself today. Not nearly as good as the GTX 560Ti she's now using but should allow me to do more than Low settings.

Amazing what people have done so far in just the last few days. I don't think SOE is going to be fully prepared for how popular this game is going to be if the word of mouth continues to escalate.

The Hero engine is heavily slanted towards CPU usage. I run a Phenom X6 with a Geforce GTX 560 Ti and I get "video lag" at every graphical setting and depending on where I am I can run from 15 to 60 FPS. Meanwhile, same card in my wife's system with a Gen 2 Intel i5 and it's like butter with a...

Finish Oricon, do some legwork for Augment kits and Augments (most everyone except tanks go for Main Stat/Power), run a few dailies to get basic comms for the gear and try to do the FP daily. By the time you get done with Makeb you should at least be Hero and able to get the Reputation weapon...

Like I said, given the state of the game they could have easily taken the low road. Yes, even though people paid money. They're pretty upfront about what Alpha stands for and it gives them an "out" that they have not taken. A lot of people wondered at SOE's level of commitment and lambasted them...

I'm impressed at their level of commitment so far. Especially since they could have easily said, "It's alpha, things will be broken, we'll get to it when we get to it." Instead these guys are working their asses off to give us a stable environment. If they follow the same level of commitment...

Not sucking will take two approaches. The first is obviously practice. The second is time since each ship is like its own character and must "level up" through the expenditure of requisition points. Both require numerous matches. Something on the order of 200k+ requisition is required to max out...

Not a problem. Anyone else on Ebon Hawk, my offer for a guild tag is open ended. I'm in game most days.

Right, they have to think long term here. There's no point in trying to continue with things being broken if everyone can be better served by them taking everything down and restarting again in a couple of days. Of course, it's speculation that this is what's coming but I think we've been around...

My personal opinion is "no". The release game will be F2P and worlds better than what we have now.

If anyone playing Ebon Hawk Imp side is looking for a guild simply for the sake of having a guild (and the ~5% exp boost), I'll be online tomorrow from about 5:00 pm EST until like 6:30 or so. I took over ownership of the guild I've been in since basically release. Long since "dead" in terms of...

Was waiting on an update to what was in store for 2014. Star Wars: The Old Republic | News Articles TLDR: 2.6 tomorrow with full release of GSF. 2.7 in April with two new FPs focused on Imperial/Republic attacks on Tython/Korriban and NM mode DF. 2.8 in June with NM mode DP and more GSF...

Don't see how anyone could be called a shill. Just about everyone has had positive things to say as of late, even with the problems inherent to the "launch". As many have stated that they didn't like Georgeson at first but his openness and ability to engage the community have made them converts...

Smed did say a new server was going to be implemented today.

I never could fault the game for its visuals. I wish they'd get off their ass and get a team on making day/night cycles and actual weather for the planets but on the whole they hit the mark pretty damn close on every planet I visited. Alderaan is especially beautiful but each planet does a good...

Pretty much this.

Dark Side Trooper, however, is kind of awesome since you know nothing is going to happen to your character and the story will progress but you get to be a dick to everyone anyway.

Queues number is wrong, queues working though

My position keeps increasing...

Trailblazer hooooo! (had some money left over from xmas, decided to take the plunge) Ingame name is Moontayle.

Pretty sure the lead dev confirmed they are dealing with DoS attacks which is why things will be running along smoothly for a bit and then suddenly just shit out.

I actually think this is Garret. Linehan runs the same offense and gave JG his first coaching job down in Miami. Word is that the Kiffin hire was Jerry all the way, so this is Garrett flexing what muscle he has to make the best of a bad situation. That said, you are correct. The Cowboys never...

Not quite this bad unless the 5 beating on the Op have no gear and hit like wet noodles, but it's pretty damn close. The well played Ops I've run into will not go down easy. The combination of instant cast HOTs and an instant heal that is a free cast when you've got at least one Tactical...

Wow. Over/Under on his resignation?

Obama at least seems to have a clear idea about where he would like to see America. The message has been consistent since he started running back in 2007. He's never wavered from his desire to seek better education, bolster the middle class, end the wars, get off foreign energy dependence, and...

Best part was calling out the GOP on their repeatedly failed attempts at repealing the ACA.

Felt too much like a sitcom bottle episode. Still the best animated show on television though.

Still quite a few growing pains but the population seems to be good for the time being. When I'm able to play I'm able to get groups fairly quickly and judging by the constant keep changing it seems RvR is pretty healthy too.

Couldn't pass this one up.

Two inexplicable things from 2013: Demoting J. J. Wilcox, who was better than Heath in every way, and abandoning the run game versus Green Bay.

Sunset ahoy!

Site was down last time I checked, meaning no new account creation, but last night it was at cap which has been extended to 1300. I got on this morning using the Dawn of Light launcher (site being down meant the Origins launcher was borked) and was finally able to make a decent amount of...

Oh, I'm sorry, am I not allowed to rationalize the poor play of the defense this year? I'll be sure to keep that in mind for when you guys rationalize poor play for your teams.

And unless you're a high end raider or just like vanity items, 350k can go far. I fluctuate between 1.5m and 3m and as I approach the latter I usually end up buying a bunch of Cartel stuff off the GTN. I know some people like with like 300m but all they do is play the GTN. Money is sort of...

Yeah, going from a Dline of Ware, Hatcher, Ratliff, and Spencer to Ware, random guy, Hatcher, and random guy really hurt them. Ware and Hatcher didn't play every game either. Sean Lee was hurt, Bruce Carter decided he forgot how to be an effective linebacker and they had something of a revolving...

Farmer's Almanac forecast the weather to be extremely shitty around the Super Bowl. I don't usually put too much stock into such things but they seemed to hit the proverbial nail on the head here.

My wife did PRK and for about a month it was kind of dicey as the eyes healed. However, at the one month appointment she was cleared with 20/20 vision and from everything I hear about PRK it's only going to get better. That first week was rough. Our bedroom is pretty dark since I work nights and...
