It's a shame most of old stuff wasn't shot in 16:9, but it's something we must deal with. The only I have with 4:3 is that I don't enjoy the black bars at the sides of the picture. Bugs me for some reason, meh.

I dont think Season 1 is out yet? at least not in the UK. I bought the preview and it looks fantastic. Bit miffed its not in widescreen, TOS Blu Ray wasnt either but the DVDs were. It makes me :(

Anyone explain to me why it is?


TNG was shot for TV starting in the late 80s that still used the ratio of 4:3. Move cameras actually use this same ratio. However, to make a widescreen show, they put a special cap on that blocks the top and bottom of the view to give a 16:9 ratio.

So, if they actually converted this to widescreen, you'd lose a lot of the footage from the top and bottom of every scene.

One other option is those without a ship could be ferried to the event site by those that have ships. I know this might be difficult to coordinate but is possible and I don't mind making any of my ships available for whomever might need a ride. :)

Because some people will suffer with interface lag in the fleet I'd suggest Coruscant for Rep and Dromund Kaas for the Empire.

The Garden of Equality for Republic sounds great!

Thanks for the link Lace, and your question is extremely well worded. Hopefully, they will answer it with something more than the standard "we are looking into this" reply game devs are so fond of using. :blink:

What I would like you guys to do for me is let me know when your peak play times are and what events you'd be interested in.
I'd also like to know what you're playing and what spec you are.


I'm in Europe and can play most weekday evenings one or two hours and a little more during the weekend. I have no fixed times when i'm online, but it's sometime during these timeframes:
monday-friday 19:00 - 22:00 CET
weekend 10:00 - 22:00 CET

I'm open to all kinds of social events. It would be nice to get to know each other a little better, guild chat currently is too quiet too often. I might even give raiding a try if i'm allowed to make mistakes from time to time ;)

My toons are in my signature.

Weekly SW:TOR stuff

February 26 2012
I love that we are getting some customer service in the form of 10 'random' Q&A things from pages and pages of questions answered each week ... but it still strikes me odd that over 100 folks or more ask about same sex and they don't comment on it .. sigh ...

Anyway that aside here is a link to this weeks plethora of folks asking questions .. when you log into sw:tor you can find the previous weeks answers and stuff some of which may answer some questions you already had.

Q&A from game

Rather than submit the age ole question of when are same sex realtionships going to be possible .. I chose to ask another one .. one that I think affects us all in stonewall .. and that is about this silly 500 person arbitrary cap. I think if enough of us whine ..perhaps they will fix it .. I know we are happily divided up etc on the pub side and soon the imp side will have to as well .. BUT WHY SHOULD WE ... really many other games have more than 2k in a guild per 'side'. So anyway here is what I posted this week and I am gonna keep repeating it and maybe yall wanna paraphrase and see if pressure works.


I am sure UI items are in the works, but what I want to address in particular, is the lack of foresight by this game in limiting guilds to 500 toons.

At what point can we see this expanded to basically an infinite level. Any research done will show many guilds in many games having 2k or more persons .... these people in turn have friends and so on and so on and a guild grows.

Your current limiting of a guild to 500 persons is forcing gaming communities to separate their players based on arbitrary things, and causes a disconnect not only in our communities, but makes playing this game disconnnected.

Respectfully, this seriously needs to be addressed if you wish this game to grow. If we can't grow our own communities how can you possibly expect your revenue to grow?

The "Fleet's" on both sides are probably the most practical suggestions so far. I wasn't aware it was so easy for everyone to get there, so even though the background isn't pretty, it will make the competition fair.

I'm hoping to run an event like this every month from now on with different critera, such as "ugliest toon" etc, so we have plenty of time to figure out the best location later. For now, I'm just desperate to get the social events started, lol.
