Ana: Congrats, man!

Fuse: DOUBLE CONGRATS! Although...I have to say, ultrasounds always kinda creep me out.

Items

Bug Fixes
PvP lockboxes can no longer be sold for credits.
Fixed incorrect item rewards from PvP leveling lockboxes.

Missions and NPCs

Missions

A New Master: Defeating Teeno no longer causes him to surrender on top of Phyne, making him difficult to interact with.
General Faraire: All of Khourlet's Elite Guards are now accessible by the player.

Bug Fixes
Fixed a mission-related issue that could cause poor performance and client crashes on Taris for some players.

NPCs

Bug Fixes
Corrected several instances of non-interactive NPCs appearing and disappearing from the player's view.

PvP

Warzones

General
Rewards for winning Warzones have been increased.
Warzone completion rewards have been decreased.

Bug Fixes

Made adjustments to prevent attacking players from reaching the doors in the reactor core before bridges are extended.

UI

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that could prevent players from accepting pending mission rewards.

Corrected an issue that could cause some auction expirations to behave incorrectly.
The splash screen no longer displays longer than the "accept changes" dialogue when changing resolutions on some computers.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

Special characters no longer display incorrectly in the French credits.
Remaining baby names have been added to the credits.
Corrected a link that displayed in French and German versions when the servers are unavailable.

Bolded some of the bits that I think are the changes that effect us most. Slicing is no longer Money: the Skill, apparently. And now the stakes in warzones are that much higher.

And oh, the pending bug should finally be solved. Hopefully.

Myself and the fiancee!

Off Topic / I'm engaged!

I'm terrible at telling stories, so to make a needlessly long tale short and painless:

Popped the question to my beloved today, and to my eternal bewilderment, she said yes. Now she's stuck with me! And I don't even have a life insurance policy.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas as well!

Me as well, unfortunately. Work has picked up and I won't be on as often as I have been.

Non-VR Games / WPVP - is that how it happened?

« on: December 20, 2011, 05:57:52 pm »

I wouldn't rush to assume they're making it up, notice how that guy doesn't mention our name, or even that the Republic forces were a guild at all. Maybe they really did help some Sith out trying to take down a world boss, and they got jumped by some random pubs who got stomped.

Off Topic / Re: Watch Eeth, Erathaol and Fuse get spanked in Huttball!

« on: December 17, 2011, 06:02:35 pm »

Huttball is my least favorite battleground. I just don't like the chaos...or the idea of my guy becoming an object of amusement for the Hutts.

General / Re: Origin Pre-Order Codes have been sent!

« on: December 17, 2011, 01:10:55 pm »

Doesn't your game time start ticking right when you enter the code? Making it better to enter it after the grace period ends on the 22nd?

Quote from: "Arawn"
Quote from: "ArchNemesis"
Unless someone reserved it already, Arawn was taken when I tried to reserve your name =(

Unless Tbone (whom I asked to save it, just the night before) saved it, I'm gonna nerd rage.

Sorry. If you check earlier in this thread, I said my char slots were already going to be full. I caught your message in the morning, but you were already logged off, so I couldn't talk to you about it. I told everyone in channel that you needed your name saved. A couple of them said they tried, but it was taken very quickly. I think the other Arawn was in at server launch. Really bad luck.

I literally ran into the other Arawn about 15 minutes after server launch. I actually told Ana to invite him to guild before we found out about the situation. I offered him credits to give up the name, but he said he had been using it as long as he had been gaming. :-/ We did reserve Arrawn and Arawnx for you.

I wouldn't worry about that, honestly. For RP we've got the faction itself, anything else is just gravy.

My schedule is in flux at the moment, but even if I end up with a standard 9-5er, I'd want to be in on this.

There are worse fates than math jokes.

I mean, did you hear about the guy who got into that horrible accident? They had to amputate the entire left side of his body. I hear he's all right now.
