Posted 1/27/2012 8:14:30 AMThat is a rather pointless accusation that proves absolutely nothing. Bioware has been working with the engine now for over four years; your correlation is baseless.

Posted 1/21/2012 11:05:38 PMWhat do you guys think is the most fun companion to hang around with? I did play a "bad" Marauder and Jaelle is my hate liquid, meaning, she makes it even more fun to be bad cause she is turning from a "good" girl to a real badass character. Did you experience anything similar?

Posted 1/20/2012 12:56:47 PMI dont have a mara/sent but i was reading a another forum thread and a guy was complaing about the same issues you guys were talking about in your podcast (not being able to stay in range). Here is his (Choocha) post in response to that same topic. Hope this helps....
"Watchman Spec with full pvp gear = death to almost anyone. Unless you're stupid and trying to take on 3-4 people at once by yourself.
Can't get close? Force Leap, it's 12 second CD or something pathetic if you spec it and also has no minimum range = free focus.
Get stunned, Resolute.
Get stunned again? 4 second immortality from force camo,
Someone running from you? Valorous call + Trancendance and just smash their head in with mercilous strike
Someone too far ahead of you? Blade storm / crippling throw.
Still to far ahead of you? Force Stasis will help you eat time until force leap repops...
Need someone to die real fast? give this a try... as you're heading to your target, pop a pvp relic, rebuke, saber ward, overload saber and valorous call. Force Leap, Zen, Cauterize, Zealous Strike, Strike, Merciless Strike. From here the dots will eat through them and heal you and you need to decide what to do next. If they're dumb enough to stay in range spam slash to reset cauterize or if they run you still have Blade Storm/Crippling Throw and Dispatch.
Lots of buttons but takes about 4 seconds of in combat time if you hotkey everything. Obviously you can only bomb trinkets and rebuke/saber ward every 1-3 minutes but while you're waiting on those to reset you still have survivability in force camo, resolute, etc.
If you can think on your feet you can deal with almost any class with ease 1 on 1.
Between Force Sweep, awe and 2 point specced kick you can drop a healer solo without him getting many, if any heals off.
I'm full Champion gear and my Merciless Slash alone crits for 3.7-4.7k. Also with, 100% guarenteed crit dots eat through health fast enough that the person usually panics and screws up.
You picked a class that requires about 20-25 skills used together to be successful... If you're force leaping into crowds and expecting to stab everyone to death because you're a jedi with 2 sabers and that's how it should be... well that's your problem."

Posted 1/19/2012 4:47:32 PMThere is actually a known bug with the 2nd boss on in the weekly for Eternity Vault where you don't get you sometimes don't get credit for your weekly. Most of the time when my raiding group does it we have a few people who get credit and a few people who don't.

Posted 1/19/2012 3:39:36 PMI'll preface this by saying I'm still 44 but I really like the Bounty Hunter Story personally.

Posted 1/19/2012 4:43:35 PMSo far the only story I don't really really like is the Consular. The male voice acting is so flat and lifeless in that one.

Posted 1/20/2012 1:15:51 AMI love how tastes differ.lol I actually love my male Inquisitor, and enjoy my Consular (though not as much as my SI - I swear they get the most hilariously deadpan lines in the entire game).

Posted 1/19/2012 5:47:15 PMI have to agree. The female is also pretty lackluster. Overall it is my lowest ranked class for the voice acting, though the male Inquisitor isn't terribly stellar either (but that is made up by 'Isabella' for the female).

Posted 1/19/2012 4:27:02 PMI am enjoying it, myself. My BH is only 19, but ever since I started him he has been drawing more of my time away from my main than I ever intended.

Posted 1/20/2012 12:23:12 PMTom Spackman, not Steve Blum. Check the credits. As Kraxis said, Blum voices lots of other minor characters though, including Inquisitor companion Andronikos Revel and Huttball's Baron Deathmark.

Posted 1/19/2012 9:45:02 PMActually it isn't Steve Blum. It is some other guy with a quite similar voice, it took me by surprise when I found out, but when they are 'next' to each other you can hear the difference. Blum voices quite a few minor characters.
