Curiosity is getting the better of me, and I'm thinking of taking the game for a spin for a month or so. How much HDD space does the game take? I may need to clean mine up since it's brimming with games from the last Steam sale atm. >_<
Damn the performance seems to have gotten worse. I'm only level 7 jedi knight, doing the flesh raider quest just trying to figure out how to even play an MMO. On top of the already poor performance, I'm getting the black screen flashing that others are describing.
Have they acknowledged frame rate issues at least? I'm running it on a 580, and still get janky gameplay.

Except that in the case of the above, it actually does mean that.It was only happening if people spawned. A screenshot of a quick burst does not mean a continual stream all day.
It takes 40GB fully installed for me. Don't let Billy lie to you.Curiosity is getting the better of me, and I'm thinking of taking the game for a spin for a month or so.

So we got the idea of searching for those Magenta crystals.

But this is better because I made it.That's the same bit they used in the ROFL vid.

No amusing music backdrop, so its boring. Booooo.But this is better because I made it.

Pretty much only solo and catch up while they are offline?
Pretty much. You could wait, and save the Heroic quests to do with your friend, but ultimately unless you're playing together exclusively - someone will get ahead.
Crafting should improve greatly once you can unsocket armorings from high end gear (with the set bonuses intact), because then crit crafted socketable gear with augment slots will be BIS. and that in turn gives Slicing a place in the world again.
I'm positive.Uhh its 20.6 GB for me. Sure you don't have an older client or something installed as well?
I'm positive.
oh god what is this
Haha, our Empire rival guild was complaining about this in vent today. The only Imps who finished their dailies were ones who camped the armaments for literally 8 hours.This post in general sums up my feelings on the Ilum / Daily fiasco:

Sages/Sorcs are by far the best healers in the game right now.Okay, I took the plunge, and now I've got a bit of a wait while the thing downloads and installs. To occupy my time as I wait, what do you guys recommend as a healing class Republic side? I've read up a bit on Seers and that's about it. I pretty much always play a healer in these things. Any recommendations or things to think about if I want to fill that role?
Uninstalled everything. Redownloading now.Did you uninstall the November client even though they said you didn't have to?
I ended up doing it anyways.
Incredible.
Crafting will not improve until 400-points items will be BoP and provide significant advantages over not having them. Much like WoW, except creating the equivalent of Jewelcrafting.
The whole crafting system looks much like most of SWTOR now - good ideas, then SOMEONE figured they need to make it like WoW to attract people. So now you have kind of a monster - some great features in principle (sending companions on missions, etc.), without much goal at lvl 50.
Incredible.
Only way to get the dailies done, I guess.
Performance depends more on your CPU than GPU. That said, I have a Sandy Bridge i7 and the game can slow to a crawl now and then...
I don't see the dark side corruption ( on my face ) in the character selection screen, is it the same for everybody ?
When we've downed both hoth world bosses they dropped nothing, but the belsavis boss seems to always drop the crit and endurance schematics. I haven't seen the power one drop, and we used to farm him.Yeah thats what i've seen, to be specific I think the Hoth world boss drops the schematic for Magenta +33 Critical and the Belsavis boss drops +33 power
Also the Magenta crystals are pretty good disregarding champion gear (you can't even remove the crystals from the raid/pvp sabers either)
At least you can choose which lightsaber to put them in and such rather than being stuck with a specific saber, also of note it costs 22k to remove the crystal from a saber so make sure you put it in the one you want to use!
No. There's hardly any blades for qyzen and they're all un-modifiable.Is there a secret techblade vendor somewhere. I'm level 21 and poor fess is still using his original weapon. I think my buddy can make one but what gives with this.
I'm positive.

All of my orange armors have the same stats without mods (16 Armor, 200 Durability IIRC). I think the mods are the only things that differentiate them.
I'm fine with how WoW does things, but I'm a big fan of tradeskills being purely economic endeavors - why should you need a benefit? pick one that you like and milk it for credits while spending credits on things you need from the other professions.

Magenta Crystals are insanely easy to acquire. If you guys don't know hit me up. Can easily acquire with 3-4 (geared) people.
The Artiface patters on the other hand, are completely RNG-based, much like everything else in James Ohlen's galaxy.
Also speaking of Developers, I really hope someone at BioWare comes to their senses and sacks Gabe Amatangelo. Yet another MMO where has proven to be completely incompetent in designing and maintaining PvP combat.

Where do orange moddable belts come from? Are they crafted or dropped BOEs? I've yet to see one on GTN, and was wondering if I could just get one commissioned to be made?
