I've been reading up on the delay issue and it just reminded me so much of XI's PVP (and HNM) problems. I don't understand how a company in the era of post-WoW can honestly think they can have a .5-6 second delay between someone hitting an ability and the ability firing off? We've seen it a few times now, and it just breaks a game at a competitive level. I hope they get it fixed, and quickly.

Is there neutral red colored crystals for Sith? Was thinking about making my Assassin go light but don't really like using blue/green.

no, red is always alignment based. Purple doesn't look bad on a sith but good luck finding one of those.

Yeah so I picked up tor yesterday and I'm loving it. I kinda regret picking a low pop server, but at least I don't have to wait on spawns and stuff. Jedi knight seems fun, but everyone on the official forums say that they suck compared to other classes. I really wanted to play something with some burst damage. Meh.

It also just so happens that most of my friends aren't willing to reroll off their high pop servers to come play with me so if any new people want to play on a pve server I'm on Nathema.

Eternity Vault Operation! Raiding the Eternity Vault isn't exactly hard for experienced raiders, but we had a good time either way.

Spoiler: show

Hard mode next! Having a blast with the game.

I have to say I really enjoy 4 man groups and 8/16 man operation sizes. It feels right, not too big, not too small.

Grats on 50.. The crafting in this game is so easy to level.. Guess it'll be all about rare recipe drops from operations..

The way the AH system work is peculiar. You get one mail telling you the item was bought, then you get it an hour+ later? What

Sounds like WoW, except they don't send you mail saying your item has been bought. But it does take an hour to get your money. Unless you mean buying from it and it takes 1 hour to get the item, if so that's a bit weird.

Shit like this bothers me because i swear they put it in just because WoW did it and people would complain if it were any different. money delivery time, mail delivery time from other players serves absolutely no purpose in SWTOR. Its super fantasy sci-fi, we have holo-communicators yet it still takes an hour for an email to get to people. And WTF at the mailboxes in general, again its sci-fi, I can check email on my phone right now but in an era with space ships and holo-communicators I need to the box to look at a letter.

I find it hysterical that world PVP on Ilum, on a PVP server mind you, consists of both factions meeting up and trading kills for daily/weekly quests. BW really dropped the ball on PVP in general in this game.

What really puzzles me about this is that most of the team that did WAR are doing SWTOR, and WAR was all about the pvp. And I see a lot of mistakes they're making in SWTOR that they didn't do in WAR. The delay for one, not having level brackets for pvp, not releasing info for addons right away, etc. None of those were issues in WAR so not sure why they did things differently.

It might be that way right now just because there are so few level 50s, but unless they add some incentive to defend I don't know if there will be. Tis a shame too because I was really really looking forward to Ilum. Could always get some community made events going though. There are unofficial server threads on the official forums where people have organized PvP events on planets and stuff which have gone off nicely. Sucks that you'd have to resort go about getting your world PVP in that way but its better than nothing.

The delay was there in WAR and it was pretty significant. First time in TOR beta i noticed it and said here we go again. Nothing ruins PVP more than skills not going off when you hit them.
