Would also recommend again transferring a bunch of basic comms from a 60 who has zero use for them to your new character. I sent my smuggler 400 comms along with 400k and he's gonna never have to worry about gear

I'm finding it simpler to just buy 8 armorings on my 60 and mail them to my lowbie. You can do this in advance and just let them sit in your mailbox until you're ready to equip them.

Who should I stick on my friend list for an invite?

Been leveling a smuggler and a consular now that my sorcerer is 60. Smuggler is too much fun when played as a walking hormone that flirts with everything. Had an awesome mission just last night where I was flirting with a sith, then a jedi, then a hologram and then killed them all and banged the sith. Also "honeybunch..."

I'm playing as Noiro'sometimes. Just search for Goon Squad. I'll be home in about 45 minutes and I think I can invite on pub side. I'll be on until I black out since it's Friday.

No QT, taxi spots unlocked, and stronghold cheating makes this game mad fast when you're space barring.

I was on a particularly boring conference call about 3 hours ago and decided to start a Sentinel. She's 35 now.

Edit - Also, can confirm you can only buy mods/enhancements at levels lower than they are. Gear you have to be at level. =/

There's no point in getting a disc. If you're looking to play as a sub, you might as well download the game first, and maybe putz around for the first couple of levels as F2P, and if you want to become a subscriber, go buy the Amazon pack. That will get you all caught up on X-packs, two months of subscription time and 2400 Cartel Coins. (Go buy rocket boots with those Cartel coins.)

If you want to maximize the use of a referral link, become a sub first, or at least preferred, wait until your subscription lapses, then click on a referral link. That way you also get a free week as a sub. It's a better deal than clicking on a referral link as F2P.

this one? http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-PC/dp/B001CWXAP2

I confirmed this tonight. You can buy mods but not the actual gear. The best way to do this is use a high level with tons of comms and buy all the mods/enhancements/armorings and send them to your low level. To mail it requires a lot of stupid clicking, but putting them in your legacy bank works well if you have room.

Buy droid parts on CZ-198 (80-100k + 50 basic comms), put them in legacy vault. Take out of legacy vault with new toon, return to any vendor, get 80-100k back + 50 basic comms.

The latest expansion pack SoR goes for $20, 2400 Cartel Coins are worth another $20, and 2 months worth of subscription is worth another $30, so the $40 Amazon bundle is usually seen as a pretty good deal.

Hey folks,

I feel the need to make this post after some things happened yesterday. Yesterday, John made some posts communicating our views, and looking for feedback, around the state of Sentinels and Marauders. We knew going in that some of what we were going to say might not be what players wanted to hear, but the Combat team felt it was very important that you understood how we view things from our side. We may disagree on some things, but if all opinions are on the table we can have a better and more informed dialog about it.

However, following the posts John made yesterday, a few players formed a witch-hunt against John. These players tracked him down on some of his personal accounts and in some extreme cases, even those of his family members with the sole purpose of harassing, insulting, and threatening him based on those forum posts.

If Bioware really wanted to punish those players they could pretty easily biomass their accounts, assuming they're subscribers. Match names from the social media accounts to CC info from Billing to accounts, then hellban and biomass.

Sounds nice in theory, but with no way to be 100% sure you were banning the right people it would be a PR nightmare. Even if they were sure the offending people, though scumbags, did nothing in the actual game. Unless the harassment was on the Swtor forums and then I guess that's covered.

Or buy crafting schematics from the Basic Schematic vendor in the crafting area of fleet for 60 Basic comms. No credits needed and fewer loading screens.

Yeah it's been a fire sale of Cartel armors and such I've had hoarded from sniping them off the GTN. I've moved 5 bank tabs of stuff in the last week or so. Usually I have to trickle stuff back to keep from depressing the market but everything has been pretty much been selling within hours of me listing it.

Pet me.
I love the Costume design thing. All i did was use the Rise of the Hutt Cartel armor sets mailed to you from the start for all my mod needs, and as a trooper I've been saving the galaxy with the standard level 15 armor, just made it to Makeb. Also I knew there was a reason to save nearly an entire tab of stylish poo poo for my bounty hunter.

It's actually weird they wouldn't do this to your companions, considering the best and easiest gear to give them will always be 192 gear.
