It's the greatest comedy about horrible awkwardness I've ever seen. It hurts to watch sometimes.

Makeb is kind of boring, but these isotope-5 droids are so cute. They're like droid llamas. I wish I could have one as a mount.prefect posted:You should watch "Peep Show".

I may give it a try, but what usually happens with this sort of comedy is that I cringe so badly that I can't help but skip ahead, or pause, or mute. It reaches a point where I'm barely watching it.

Why is it that every time there's a patch I have to wait half an hour for reorganizing files?

So are dead bodies not despawning on all planets, or just on hoth? The whole planet is a laggy mess and there are piles of dead things all over the place. E: And companion healing seems really buggy in these areas. Kaliyo was making healing animations but nothing was happening. Though I could deal damage and heal myself just fine apart from the ability lag. I'm also not taking gear damage for dying. Bait and Swatch fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Nov 21, 2015 |

So they didn't add another way to get the Akk dog companion now that the Underworld Alliance crate is gone from the market right? Because I'll never be able to afford the prices on the GTN for one.

I got started on the Agent storyline because I have a case of class indecisiveness and everyone here says it is the best overall class story. One thing I thought was neat was that your Handler tells you to lose your accent, and when interacting with the gang, they actually DO drop their accent (The female agent, anyway). It is a dumb little detail but I thought it was neat.

Yeah, that happens a few more times during the story when it'd be appropriate too. They put a lot of thought into the voice direction.

The best part is that if you play a male Agent he actually does different voices based on which cover identity you're assuming. Sadly, the female Agent only does the one non-accented voice, but then again if you're not playing a Male Agent you're missing out on all the James Bond fantasy, PLUS telling Darth Zhorrid she's ugly and you wouldn't even gently caress her with someone else's dick when she tries to toy with you by being flirty.

I've been having a tech issue, and the official EA forums or whatever those are haven't been much help. I'm running the nvidia 358.91 drivers in my 970, and I'll periodically see my kernel drivers crash and recover. (Screen goes black for a few seconds, then the game pops right back up at a loading screen and loads in). Its usually over quick, but its still annoying as hell. What's really weird is that this game in particular is the only game that causes that issue. Fallout 4, Overwatch, Vermintide, those were all perfectly fine. Anyone encounter a similar issue and fix it?

There's an easy way to reconcile it all - the Force doesn't have sides at all, it merely is. What people do with it, that's all that matters, and none of these people within their little sects, just like those in real life, can agree except on the broadest terms. 1,000 Sith declare freedom, and have 1,000 ideas about what that freedom means.

Oh my loving God, I thought I would do the Qyzen quest since the time to get Lokin has passed and I thought it wouldn't be glomped up, so I killed a bunch and thought, "Oh, this is nice, no one's camping this poo poo anymore -- wait, why am I not getting any bear asses?" The Qyzen quest reset and I had to talk to him again to make the bear asses appear. gently caress this quest, gently caress this poo poo, gently caress Bioware

I agree with it because I like the idea it's a natural Force, why would it have any concept of 'Good' or 'Evil'?

I see the Force as presenting something of a feedback loop to its devotees, you get out of it what you put into it. If it's an energy field created by all living things, then to me it makes some thematic sense that if you reach out to it in anger and fear, then it's going to feel and react to that. If you approach the Force with calm and contemplation, it's going to respond in kind. Trying to act like the Force has a will of its own feels to me like conspiracy theory nonsense in real life: trying to ascribe agency and human motivation to an inhuman and uncaring universe.

Ooh are we sperging about theories of the Force? I always liked Zahn's theory that the proper use of the Force is for guidance and any attempt to use it for power clouds your ability to use it properly.

I agree with it because I like the idea it's a natural Force, why would it have any concept of 'Good' or 'Evil'? The movies are pretty clear about the Force. The Dark Side is about using it in a misguided attempt to hold on to material things forever, life and power, when the irony is that a true Jedi has an infinite supply of both of those things by letting go. True immortality only comes from accepting your death, and that you are part of something greater. As Yoda says, luminous beings we are, not this crude matter. The Force is presented as some kind of synthesis of the ideas of Brahman and Nirvana. Of course, Force Ghosts were originally supposed to be rather a big deal and reflective of a transcendent state that few could achieve and well the EU has kind of run that into the ground with Force Ghosts/Ancient Sith Lord Ghosts for everyone.

What's a good average for healing as a merc in PvP? I'm usually between 400k and 600k. Will I ever be able to compete with Sorc/sage healing as a merc? They always seem to outdamage me while also doubling my heal total.

It doesn't take into account over healing, which sorcs get a ton of thanks to their AOE heal. Don't judge healing by numbers, judge it by how well you kept your team alive.

There's no reason at all to spend credits on that stuff from the auction house, as far as I'm concerned. As I see it there are two main ways to keep your gear up to date while leveling: 1) Spend your basic comms on mods/etc at the "level XX modification vendor" on the fleet/planets. They're 2 apiece and as long as you pick comms as rewards from your class quests whenever possible, the game designs it so that you'll have enough to keep your gear up to date through your entire leveling experience. 2) Do heroics and use the blue gear that drops to keep yourself up to date.
