Is there a way to edit the in-game config out of game? I can't get the drat game to run. Launcher comes up fine, I'm fully patched. When I hit PLAY it changes my screen resolution to something real tiny, and SWTOR is kinda off to the left of the screen. On the start bar, when I hover over SWTOR, the preview shows a long vertical slit, like the resolution is set at something crazy weird. Any ideas here?

Edit: The game appears to be loading in the tiniest window I've ever seen. It's just a small vertical slit on the upper left of my screen. I can clearly see the blue background and the upper and lower gold stripe of the loading screen. This is weird.

Try hitting Alt+enter when this happens. I had some weird resolution issues this week and that fixed it.

Is there any way to make the jedi knight not do that idiotic little wrist flourish whenever you use your basic spender? It's so bad. I can't play the class.

Once you get high enough level you will never use your basic again. Just get to that point.

God bless you. I've been trying to play KOTOR 2 to get my Star Wars fix, but it's so drat buggy and unbalanced I've stopped having fun. Hopefully SWTOR can get me my lightsabers and lasers fix.

Is there like a tiny chance to get Memory Cores off tech slice parts missions or something? I'm only getting Power Tubes but to make my new crystals I need memory cores and I can't find any information anywhere on how to get them.

Hard Mode Operations goons: the next one will happen tonight at 7:00 Eastern time. I'm thinking of making Wednesday/Sunday at 7:00 the standard times. If anyone reading this is interested in HM Ops and would have trouble making those times, do chime in since they're very much open to change.

The plan for tonight is to take another shot at Scum and Villany with Karagga's Palace as a backup if S&V turns out to be banging our heads against a brick wall.

Purple quality crafting mats result from crits on rich or bountiful quality missions. Non crits of those quality missions and any moderate or abundant missions will only return blue quality items.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to make? As far as I know the only purple slicing mats with any relevance are Adaptive circuitry, for making augments.

Is there a give up time limit on these things? I'd love to start trying hard modes, but my strict 10pm get off the computer time might get in the way if the nights are work nights only.

We are at the point where I'm removing people who haven't logged in in *10* days right now, which is getting a bit ridiculous. If you have alts that you are done with, please remove them from the guild. I don't want to limit people to having only a few alts, but if you're not actively playing remove them.

I'll log on tonight from around 6:30-7:00 EST on Groundskeeper for anyone who wants to park an alt in Fleet Maintenance.

Finally got through SoR and... part of the Hutt Cartel storyline and started KotFE.

Getting a "I know you're still alive, find me, I love you" letter from Corso Riggs makes me feel pretty bad about repeatedly cheating on him with Theron Shan.
But I just felt like we'd run out of things to talk about, y'know?

I got the "You have no life" achievement last night and got the alliance commanders up to Rank 20. I'm PRETTY SURE the letters they sent are the same as when I hit 10 but I forgot.

In case anyone wants to read them I put up images of them. Spoilers, obviously. Doctor Oggurobb made me giggle

I remember at some point there was special dialog for going into the negative on affection with a companion since I was trying to see if I went into the negatives enough with Corso, would he leave my smuggler's crew. Was that dropped when they revamped companions or did they rework that?

As a corollary to this, when I looked at the guild info earlier, it said we have 248 accounts contributing to our guild bonus XP and whatnot. That means 248 distinct accounts that are either subscribed or preferred and have logged in within the past 30 days. The guild limit is 500 characters.

We obviously need to get an overflow guild set up. Medullah's Fleet Maintenance was floated as a plan in order to avoid any more effort or organization, but he's not really planning to run it as a serious guild. I thought things would drop off much faster, but it looks like people might be staying around for a while.

Having said that, I don't want to start another guild myself. If someone else puts something together, post in here and let us know. I'll move a couple of my own characters over and putz around sometime. We just don't have the space anymore for everyone to have 3 or 4 characters while we're still inviting new people. I think we'll be OK with voluntary moves, but if people keep joining, TNG may have to enforce a character limit per person.

That was dropped during beta.

I'll probably move half my characters into Fleet Maintenance and I really don't mind if we want to take it seriously. The only issue is really conquest - without a flagship we get no bonus so those characters wouldn't do conquest. However, that might not be a bad thing in that I'd be less motivated to play a poo poo ton of alts. Though I do have enough saved up, maybe I'll just buy my own flagship...

Ultimately what I'd like to see is TNG be a guild that is actually focusing on some end game activities like conquest, regular hard mode raiding, and even PvP. I don't think that's unrealistic right now with the number of people that are playing.

We could probably just use a custom chat channel too for cross guild communication in place of guild chat for just normal day to day BS. By typing /cjoin TNG for example, your character will automatically join the TNG chat channel.

Though as was said earlier, with the new games coming out I think we'll probably slow down for a bit.

And I for one am burning out on TOR for the time being. I already have one of every class at 60 or 65, since KotFE is about six hours long, and the current KotFE endgame is PvP, grinding crates, and old flashpoints and raids. Not much replay value to the KotFE story, either. I'm thinking I may take a couple of months off from the game.

Probably Hero Engine. Same reason the game can't handle stacks of more than 99 crafting items.

Some database pointer is a small integer.

If that ever happens again and alt-enter doesn't work, you can also try editing the client_settings.ini and setting both height/width and native height/width to the correct resolution.

This is a good idea regardless of whatever happens. It'd be nice for cross-communication between empire and republic as well.

Say, establish a /cjoin ThatsNoGoon channel for both/all goon guilds and plaster it over all gchats and the OP?
