Of course historically "Early Access" has been more of an "Open Beta" since there is almost always bugs or enormous lag the first few days (Rishi Meat Tree, :911:)

Hey Nerd of Prey, Waldorf Sixpence, and DrunkenGarbageCan - what servers do you guys play on again? I'm pretty sure Drunken is on Harbinger.

90cc and you can come visit the true goon guild!

Also, for you peasants still mashing your keyboard, the Logitech G600 MMO mouse is $30 on Amazon right now. I don't like it as much as the Razer Naga, but it's still a huge step up from a keyboard and regular mouse combo.

I play on The Ebon Hawk with a small group of friends. I have placeholder alts spread across a few different servers, which I have used to get some free DvL prize boxes lately, in case anything super rare pops out. No real luck so far, but my jedi on Jedi Covenant got TWO black/black dyes out of cantina crates.

Red Eclipse, the European PvE server. I don't think I can even transfer one character across continents.

If everyone on Harbinger moved over to JC with their friends, we could actually have a real guild again and do actual group content.

Let's start a fund to pay for all the people too cheap to just drop the 90cc. Conversely, Medullah could just foot the bill as payback for the Nigerian millions of CC he's made off of referrals... :haw:

If you're planning on staying subbed for at least 2 months anyway Origin has a 2 month pack for $30 that includes 1050 coins. You can use this pack if you used the Origin KOTFE pack. Same price as a normal 60 day sub but an extra 1050 coins.

A better deal if you haven't ever bought it is the KOTFE starter bundle from Amazon which is 90 days of sub time + 2400 cartel coins.

Until the DvL HM's I hadn't teamed for PvE since the first month of KotFE. My PvE guilds have slowly withered away, all I mostly do now is queue regs and play the GTN in between. When 5.0 drops I was planning on trying the East Coast servers to see how the PvP is, the timezone would better fit my schedule but the population on Harbinger is hard to give up.

In the meantime I've put 80 hours into Tyranny in the last two weeks.

I resubbed on the Amazon pack but thanks for the Origin link, I'll check it out.

If you've been inactive a while (I think at least 90 days) you can use a referral code to get 7 free days if you use it before resubbing. Use the referral right before activating the sub and it will stack (also true if you're subbing for the first time). You also get some quality of life unlocks that are handy when your sub lapses again in the future.

Here's my code, or if you know another subscriber you'll be playing with directly you should ask them for theirs.

One reminder - if you've got a crew skill like Armormech or Synthweaving, make sure to buy any schematics for outfits you like. If it's like 4.0, there's a chance they'll take those schematics off the trainers.

Should I blow my wad of common data crystals on companion gifts or just take the credit buyout? I haven't touched KotFE yet on my 65 so would I need to buy the pass to Odessan?

Just came back a few weeks ago and want to not get too screwed by the new patch's changes.

Companion gifts from Odessen are currently selling for 80,000 credits each or more, depending on the server. They cost 30 common crystals each. On Tuesday, you'll get 500 credits per common crystal - so as long as you sell the companion gifts for more than 15,000 credits each, you're far better off selling them. They may even sell for more when 5.0 drops.

Perfect, thanks! I'll buy them and hang onto them to see what happens to the market post-patch.

Try to log into the website and leave the security key part blank it will take you to a second screen asking for the security key but there will also be a Lost My Security Key link. They'll e-mail a one-time password to you and you can remove the key yourself.

In Mypos, only the strong survive.

Does "be a subscriber on 11/27" mean you have to still be set for recurring? My recurring is not on but I still have a week of subscription time left. Really wanted to wait until tomorrow to resub to see if Origin put the combo on sale for Cyber Monday.

I was wondering this myself. I am pretty sure though you just need to be a subscriber, it doesn't have to be a reoccurring sub.

The first chapter of Sith Warrior is better than I remember it, probably because when I first tried it I was attempting to "Light Side Sith Warrior" like everyone crows about.

The bits where you're forced to slaughter a couple dozen nameless people don't stand out when you're not pursuing an ideology beyond self-interest.

I'm still a shade more light than dark though because a lot of those options are the smart choice.

SW plays best if you go predominantly Dark until Tatooine, then switch. Makes the story Foote amazingly well, straight into the end of KotFE.

No, as long as you are subscribed on 11/27 you'll be able to access KOTET on Tuesday. I guess the one exception would be if your sub lapsed on 11/28 and you didn't resub in time.

Is this the case? I used the origin deal to subscribe today but the website seems to indicate you needed to be subbed from 10/25 - 11/27 in order to get early access.

I'm wrong. Just looked it up, and you had to be a subscriber from 10/25-11/27 to get early access. 11/27 sub date is just for Non-Entity's new badass Walker mount.
