I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Okay I feel like I am missing something obvious but what does this game want for me to validate an email? It's having me do this before I get a character to 20 but it doesn't work on the email I actually use, for the game and otherwise. It wants a different email which I sent to a dummy email where it says 'We have received your request to update your email address for the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ website.". What the heck am I missing.

Hmmm, I'm fiddling around with my Harbinger alt's costume, and I'm wondering - does anyone know if there is anything similar to the Frenzied Zealot glove? Particularly the clawed fingers? I'm going for more of a 'light armor' look, and the Frenzied Zealot itself is a little too 'heavy armour', and as we all know, Pretty Space Barbie Princess is serious business. Can't cross the streams! For reference:

I had a 4 day weekend so I renewed my account and got my dude to 65, did all the new content, etc. Couple of dumb questions:

-What's the best thing to do with un-needed purple gear? I had old raid gear that I've upgraded. I'm guessing sell?

-When are the usual times for goon raids? I need me some better gear!

Keep the gear if you like the look of it, since you can use it in outfit designer. Otherwise vendor it.

No such thing as usual times for goon raids, we don't regularly raid. Sometimes we'll get a spontaneous one going if enough people are on and interested but it's usually only 2-3 people who want to raid.

I should probably have read the manual because I had no idea that outfit designer was a thing. Awesome. Thanks!

So would anyone like to try to do more regular raids? Maybe we can try to get something going here.

I want to say that servers are usually predicted to be back up around noon EST, but they're often up by eleven. Sometimes, of course, they're not up until later.

O brain new world, that has such ganglia in't!
So might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway: is there a "canon" direction for the various class quests? Like does the light side/dark side choice or anything else make enough difference that one is more "correct" for a given class for the overall plot/expansions?

The expansions will typically only give a brief one sentence nod towards choices you've made in the past every now and then if that, so I wouldn't worry too much. Shadow of Revan has one whole unique quest per class that continues from whatever choices you made, though.

For example, as a BH, Imperials and Sith will say slightly different things to you depending on your choice at the end of Chapter 3, but the story itself remains the same.

No level requirements on crafted crystals (they're all +41 now, too) is a nice change.

Check your email after a few hours. It took a silly amount of time to get through to me for some reason. Check spam filters etc.

For the last year or two it's required you to have two confirmed email addresses. This is to combat credit sellers, and is working phenomenally as I never see spam in general or get mail from Shedd.

He said he sent it to a "dummy" email address... If you didn't use a real email address there's a good chance you won't get that email.

huuuuuuuuhhh..... well, I have a confirmed account and only used one email address, and I'm getting at least 2-3 spam messages a day with offers of credits for cash. I report every single one yet I keep getting the same offers from the same people. Last time I logged in I had 6 active tickets, 4 of them dealing with the same person, and the oldest dated either the 12th or 15th. I didn't think much of it as that's kind of par for the course with most MMOs I've been on but holy poo poo if it was worse than this it must have been bad.

Do you have the Prelude to Shadow of Revan? Go to your ship and see if there is a mission terminal.

I'm assuming of course you're a subscriber so you actually HAVE Shadow of Revan.

If you still have the group quest active in your log, you won't be able to start it solo. Maybe that's your problem? If you clear it from your quest log and talk to the NPC at the entrance on the fleet, you should be able to select [start solo mode]

Yeah, we're being a bit inside joke-y here. Credit sellers are still all over the place and will continue to be as long as idiots continue to buy from them. Also, Medullah once made a joke in guild chat using the name of a credit selling site and got his account suspended for a week.
