It is there in the options under preferences, cant remember where as i wasn't looking for it at the time but that was only 30mins ago so it hasn't been removed.

No, that is headgear.
The hood is part of the chest piece. They are still going to add it.. eventually.
I dislike wearing a hood because it makes your character bald. my character has been wearing a hood for 15 levels in different color variations
My Dorky Jedi Knight tries to flirt all the time and get's shut down everytime.
They always respond: "Yeah... that's interesting" or something to that effect. It only worked once on Tython with the Twilek leader of one of the quest hubs.
Skip all story content. Yay!
-_-
What I'm missing the most is dual-spec. My fullblown tank spec just isn't cutting it in PvP and the tank-abilities in PvP are mildly useful at best. In the meantime I'm being destroyer by all these Sith Warriors and Inquisitors who just melt me. Especially when there's two I seem to drop in a heartbeat.
I don't know if automatically scaling everyone's PvP rating was the answer, but I sure wish I had the options of swapping into my PvP build if I wanted to.

Game doesn't officially release until tomorrow if you recall. All this extra time was just bonus... Quit crying please, you're embarrassing yourself.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I can't believe so many people are already lvl50. Gah, I'm only 20. Why am I so slow?!

Unfortunately actually listening to all the dialogue and story probably isn't the most efficient way to level
. I'm only level 20 myself, but I'm enjoying myself immensely so it doesn't really matter I've never really understood the desire to rush to level 50, especially before the game is out. Now you're stuck at level 50 with maybe being generous 10 others at your level with nothing to do but start a new character anyways -.-
You can turn off the indicators in the dialog wheel, but you can't turn off the huge +50 & Red/Blue glow that comes up after you make the choice, as far as I can tell.
Mash that space bar son! I'm level 35 at the moment, imperial agent. Loving the story at the moment.
Btw for all those on EU Republic GAF I'll be joining you on there soon, my computer can't really handle the PVP side of things without getting 15fps so I'll be joining you guys in a couple weeks after I get a nice upgrade.
Anyone else get crazy memory leaks on Taris? After I did a few quests on there everything started to halt up and hitch every time an objective updated or I went on the map screen, absolutely horrible. Got straight off as soon as I did my class quests.
Stuck at 50 and nothing to do but bitch really.

Servers went down just as my Huttball game finished.
Time to make a cup of hot chocolate and start watching Breaking Bad for the first time.

hit space? the story quests are in story instances though it's a weird distinction to me since those quests also boil down to kill this and collect that

I just got to level 24 before the servers went down. I got my speeder money already and then some thanks to slicing. I got over 90k now.
I don't have much hope for Keller's Void queue times with Alea Iacta Est ion there. They already have 2 guilds on the Empire side. They probably hit the cap on the first one or something. And they have a Republic guild on there too.

It's known there's a huge thread on the forums about it. I was bugging out and raging because it got to the point when I opened my map my framerate would just take an absolute shit and I was like no way in hell is it my computer.
Turns out it has to do with the bonus quest and quest tracking. If you turn off quest tracking everything clears up.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Wow, could not disagree more. The voice acting makes every quest seem more interesting. Especially when you're playing with someone else and you don't know how the conversation is going to go.
Makes perfect sense. SW:TOR, to my understand, doesn't have PvP brackets like every other serious MMO. You put the level 15's in there with the level 50's and, despite the boosts the 15's get, they don't get the massive bonuses from gear that the 50's do.
So basically it's free PvP reputation farming. You and your 10 level 50 buddies can curb stomp everything in PvP and farm huge amounts of points until everyone else finally catches up.

It makes perfect sense to do it this way. Early access started on the 13th, it ends a few hours before official launch. Then they actually launch. I don't get all the whining.
5 hours.
Yeah the glowing afterwards is a little much, but whatever
I can't believe so many people are already lvl50. Gah, I'm only 20. Why am I so slow?!
I've got altitis for real. I have 5 characters now
Just finished up Taris before the servers went offline. Have found all the Datacrons so far up to Taris, and I kind of wish they weren't so fucking annoying to figure out. The last one took me like twenty minutes of walking in circles trying to figure out what the fuck they wanted from me.
I guess they don't expect you to finish the planets or something because I'm like one bar from 25 and just leaving Taris. It was recommended for 16-20 and I didn't set foot on the planet until I was three bars into 20 already. Haven't even done the flashpoint after Hammer Station yet (Athiss or whatever it is called).
On the plus side, the Scoundrel is just a fantastic class. Pretty satisfied so far with how the energy-based healing has worked; you've got quite a bit to consider (Pugnacity, Upper Hand, HoT stack and managing the energy gates) but it has a solid pay off when you get the hang of it. All the group content I've healed has gone swimmingly, and I can't wait to get my hands on Medpac Mastery and Emergency Medpac. It'll be so easy I'll fall asleep doing it.
Also, I'm quite enjoying the crew skills. I went with Biochem (with Bioanalysis and Diplomacy on the side) and I'm really pleased with how they designed crafting. You aren't leashed to some stupid world object so you can stare at a repeatedly filling bar, you actually get to work on your crafting while still getting to play the game. Once I get my hands on more companions, I'm going to be running a straight-up meth lab full-time.

Yep, agreed. I've only played it for a few hours but the voice acting + interaction makes the game much more immersion than reading quest texts.

To me, it helped a lot to disable the Alignment symbols in options, so I don't know what is light and what is dark side options. Obviously most answers are clear as night and day and many have 1 as light, 2 as neutral and 3 as dark. But sometimes you get into shifting deeper conversations were you are not always sure, and then it feels good to pick what feels right.
It quickly became a Alignment hunt for me otherwise, so that helped me enjoy it.
When it comes to Bioware games in general, it's not the plots I find interesting but the characters. That's why Mass Effect 2(outside of KOTOR) is perhaps the most intriguing game for me, from all of them, because it had great characters.
I think the Companions are lacking. I think they are great. I want to do so much more with them. They are like secondary player characters, and I think we should have direct influence over their looks. Being able to change everything about them.
I imagine collecting companions for my starship, like I am collecting my crew in Skies of Arcadia. You're creating a small super unit.
Companions don't have a lot to say. I wish you could just chat with them around the world and about stuff. Each companion also seem to only have one plot. But of course.. there are 40 companions. The average BW game has 6-10 party members, and it's funny how as they went from KOTOR > Jade Empire > Mass Effect, you can see how you can interact less and less with the companions. DA was then back to old school.

I'm wearing the generic PVP gear at the moment, excuse the horrible graphics settings I have on. 2GB of ram doesn't work well with this game.
2GB of RAM? Poor thing. That's what I had in 2004.

So between them, The Goons (Something Awful), and GAF, Keller's Void seems to be popular? Is it going to be like the Mal'Ganis of WoW?
You should see how long it takes to load, every time a quest sends me to a different planet I weep inside. Oh well, I'm upgrading to 8GB pretty soon.
Thus far it hasn't had the worst queues.
Don't come back till you've watched all 4 seasons!

I'm not crying. Didn't mean to offend the server maintenence defense force. As I stated before, I think they could have done it at a better time. I made an observation. That's it. I didn't fuck your mother or kick your dog. The only people crying are people like you who seem so enraged that I made an observation. If you don't like what I have to say then stop replying and keep it moving.

On the bright side, as far as upgrades go, ram is incredibly cheap right now.

im in the same boat as you, 2GB. you should see how long it takes to actually quit the game. it's mind boggling.
I think the worst is when i need to change instances to join a party. feels bad man.

What kind of frame rates are you getting in heavily populated areas? I'm playing on high, and I think our specs are about the same. The frame rate seems to jump from 100fps a second down to 30-40 when on High, depending on where I'm looking.
It sure is, but I've had to get another motherboard and processor to go with it as well because my motherboard only supports DDR2.
