    Is this outfit something that's somewhat easily obtainable? I was always annoyed at Jedi Shadows having to fight in dresses and weird hats, I want something a bit more practical-looking.

    The chest is a dyed version of the Jori Daragon armor:

    That armor set came in the Wingman’s Starfighter and Dogfighter’s Starfighter Packs, which I'm pretty sure are no longer available in the Cartel Market. I'd have to look in the GTN to see what they sell for.

    Haha, someone else discovered the Elsa outfit!

    (I've been rocking this outfit on my main for awhile now, which unfortunately is NOT named Elsa):

    Personally, I'm a fan of the Speedsuit(Especially with the Vectron speeder). But yeah, it's not very Jedi-y. Suits the Smuggler and Agent a lot more.

    Managed to get all 6 pieces for under 100k each(someone had the pants up for around 20k). But now it's unlocked in my collection so I can grab it on any character or for any companion.

    I wish I'd grabbed the speedsuit back when it was affordable. But I had the concealed bodysuit and figured "ehhh...close enough".

    It's not really close enough!

    It would be nice if Assassins/Shadows had at least an option of pants for reward choices.

    The outfit designer sidesteps that issue nicely. It's a wonderful addition to the game.

    In unrelated news:

    I wish this game had better anti-aliasing options. Even on the highest setting its all jaggies all the time. Unless there's some external setting I can use to fix it.

    I wouldn't use the in-game anti-aliasing options. For most games the engines do a much poorer job than if you use the settings in your video card's options.

    Jesus this Jedi Knight campaign is boring as hell. Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter and Trooper had way more to offer, at least character wise. The JK couldn't sound more earnest and saccharine. Seriously, she sounds exactly like some of the toys my two year old loves to play with. Even when I'm being evil.

    I'm considering abandoning the JK and Consular and just rolling the Agent for my last play through, and only picking the game up for the next update. Does chapter two get any better or am I wasting my time?

    Sounds like you'll enjoy the agent storyline and female character, especially if you're being evil.

    It never really gets any better. If you can't take it, I'd say skip both the Knight and the Consular.

    Agent is a lot of fun, and so is Smuggler if you haven't had a chance to play it.

    I'm having mixed feelings about the Sith Warrior (I hit level 30 today). You can be evil, but unlike the Inquisitor or Bounty Hunter, it actually feels bad sometimes! I'm not laughing my head off at how evil I can be, which takes the fun out of it.

    Still more interesting than the Consular of course.

    I've played everything but Agent, JK and Consular. So far every class has had redeeming points. JK has exactly none. I might finish it because it ties into what the Emperor is doing. It's just really sad when a companion has more personality than the PC. I actually found myself wishing I was playing as Kira instead because she actually seems interesting.

    It's hard to believe that Bioware wrote this storyline.

    Hutta Bounty Hunter spoilers:
    On Hutta, after you behead the accountant for Nemro the Hutt and present the accountant's head to his horror-stricken wife, you run into Nails.

    It is here you can do the "one." "two." "three." thing. A nice callback to KOTOR as a bounty hunter.

    You could have faked it, you know. The accountant will crash Fathra's accounts and give you some spare cash from them before he does. The wife still runs and Nemro dumb enough to think it's because of a decapitated head.

    The voice actor for the male JK is worse. And somehow they got that comatose performance out of the same guy who voices Solid Snake.

    I got a full gear set for my Smuggler, but I don't know how to equip it without replacing my working gear.

    Could anyone tell me if you can equip a set for looks, or do they expect you to equip it while just walking around your ship with it on for kicks?

    On the character tab "c", you'll see a row of numbers running down the right side. Each of those is an appearance design slot. You get some number for free (1?) and the rest you need to either pay cartel coins for (120 per) or purchase on GTN (like all unlocks, look for the "account" version).
    1. Click the appearance design slot. It'll probably be empty and just show what you have equipped right now.
    2. Equip each of the items you want to show when you activate that slot. For your purposes, put on everything.
    3. There's a commit button somewhere on there. Make sure you have enough money, then press commit. While you're committing, it gives you the option to apply the appearance immediately.
    4. Tada! you now look different than the gear you equip for stats. Any empty slots in the appearance designer will use whatever you have equipped, so if you want to avoid that, you'll want to get your hands on some Covert Energy Armor of the appropriate slot.

    After all these years, I finally got HK-51 about a week or so ago. Hearsay has it that he has the highest DPS of all the companions, but... hearsay is often wrong, so I googled a bit and found this:

    http://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/2cg0ff/when_overgearedduo_which_companion_hk/

    So reddit says that HK is decent, but that the melee DPS companions are all better. I decided to see if that's right. I have a fresh 60 Operative who pretty much only has quest drop gear. I've been running the Oricron daily with her and HK-51. Soloing the elites is doable, but it's usually a close call. So last night, I took Vector instead of HK. And... there was an obvious difference. I had a much easier time killing the two elites with Vector out than with HK. I have both of them in Devoted Allies gear.

    So... if you want to power through dailies a bit faster, bring out your melee DPS companions (and put them in their DoT stance). They seem to have both the highest single target DPS and the most AoE DPS, too.

    Is this for a heal-spec or for DPS? In general it feels like I can move faster when I'm running around as DPS with a healer companion, but that may simply be due to the lack of downtime. I haven't made a concerted effort to time and test it.

    I like that as straightlaced as she is, she'll help you get away with murdering that one Imperial guy during the Taris trooper quests.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Thanks Owenashi for the assist!

    So I was just thinking. I hope when the new xpac comes out my agent gets to keep her ship. Because that is the best ship hands down. I also assume we'll keep our strongholds because otherwise there would be some outrageously mad people out there.

    This was for DPS agent (backstab spec, not sniper). I haven't timed downtime because even on Yavin and Ziost, I don't really seem to have much at all and on Oricon, I barely take damage except from the various heroic elites (the big bot on CZ-198, the two elites on Oricon).

    My shadow tank takes a bit more damage. But again, except for the heroic elites, I can't think of the last time her health went below 75%. Every four or five fights, I'll stop and meditate.

    I think that if you have 192 gear (the blue quality drops from the Ziost story quests) and a DPS companion in the Devoted Allies gear (the Yavin weekly reward companion sets), then you should be able to steamroll most daily content with a DPS companion out. At least, that's what it feels like to me. I have four classes done + the Human presence bonus, so your mileage may vary if you're under 500 Presence. But for the current set of dailies, running a tank or heal companion seems like it's overly cautious. The Devoted Allies sets makes your companions pretty lethal.

    For those wanting to use Irfanview and other screenshot utilities (as opposed to, say, Fraps), you'll need to set the following:
    GRAPHICS->Full Screen Exclusive mode->Full screen (windowed)

    That will let you capture more than a black screen.

    Sith are unable to mentally separate power from the person who holds it. They don't understand that if you kill half a dozen great generals, they will all be succeeded. Maybe their successors will be better at it, maybe they'll be worse. It's not like Sith society, where people are on top because they're strong enough to be there, and their successors aren't strong enough to force them out yet, so the Empire thinks that killing the War Trust will cripple the Republic when the war starts.

    And they're wrong. They're so very, very wrong.

    Executing the war leaders is a pretty common and time-honored way of crippling your opponent before a major conflict. It can create disarray in the ranks.

    This KNIGHTS OF THE FALLEN VAMPIRE stuff sounds pretty good. Sounds like they are getting a big big big enfusion of money now that that movies are set to kick off and they are essentially rebooting SWTOR, hopefully fixing many of the basic game's flaws in the process.
