Cuz work is boring, I've been crunching stats with crew skills and companions all morning. Well, almost all morning.

As far as min-maxing goes, I think I've done my characters all wrong...

Especially if you want to exercise romance options...

Of course, that'll all change "this year" when they add in the new romance options.

Gaaaahhhhh.... I'm overthinking this too much!!!

I had the pleasure of running around Balmorra with Circe and her husband Sunday night doing regular missions and it was such a pleasure (and social points to boot). It doesn't always work out having like-leveled people around you, but it's way more fun in a group, IMO.

oh please. you are directly responsible for me not getting anything done around the house this past saturday and ordering in pizza.

I'm inclined to agree. Popping out to run around with folks and lay down a little smack has been fun for me as a break from Dailies and working on my own preparations for what's dropping in 1.2 (which have stepped up a notch now we've got confirmation of what's in there and a rough timeframe).

The evil stuff i'm able to do is just ramping up more and more with each new planet I go to. Alderaan was amazing for that sort of thing, then the end of the Act 1 quest was incredibly even more over the top. Force choking fools and cutting through blast doors and torturing people over to the dark side. You absolutely become Darth Vader in this storyline and I love it.

Bluuuh to bonus quests that fail when you activate a part of the main quest they are attached to, which had no indication whatsoever that doing that thing would have finished the quest. Bluuuh I say.

At least I only missed out on 8,000 experience.

Yay! Done with school now. 2yr degree finally finished.

Homework time now becomes leveling time.

See you folks back in-game soon (for those that weren't around when I logged in just a little bit ago).

Looks pretty good. Not many changes to Sith Warrior things I use, but I like the crafting and general changes.

Interesting article about SWTOR haters:

GameSpy: Massivity: Does Star Wars: The Old Republic Deserve the Wrath of the Haters? - Page 1

Quote:
Perhaps years of World of Warcraft have spoiled us. Perhaps even Rift, with its rapid-fire patches, taught us to expect frequent content regardless of quality. Perhaps some of the critics even have some kind of personal vendetta against BioWare itself, which we've also seen in the response to Mass Effect 3. Whatever the reason, the campaign of negativity against SWTOR seems excessive, and it's made all the stranger because I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain with equal intensity while playing the game itself. I personally find the combat and flashpoints in SWTOR a little more enjoyable than their counterparts in Rift, and I find the lore and settings more interesting than those in Word of Warcraft. Perhaps the solution is simple: Let's not get our hopes up so high, and let's not allow the few nasty parts to ruin an otherwise satisfactory experience.

SWTOR's main enemy is speed at this point, and even the cool features promised in Patch 1.2 won't help BioWare if it doesn't release it and the announce a following patch by April. You may even find me among the haters if BioWare misses that deadline, but I'm willing to give a bit more time since I believe the rest of SWTOR's up to par.

After all, even Darth Vader came around in the end, didn't he?

Official forums are always a giant pile of shit regardless of the company, series, or community. Go there for technical support then get the hell out. Discussion should be saved for places like this.
