Star Wars: The Old Republic Impressions - Combat, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, and Gameplay

E3 2009 is well underway at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and one of the most highly anticipated--and mysterious--games on display has finally revealed itself. Star Wars: The Old Republic is being shown in playable form for the very first time to the press here at E3, and the game looks great. From what we can tell, it'll have all the best elements of BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic single-player game, updated with all the best features from BioWare's more-recent games since then (such as Mass Effect). And, of course, it'll have online multiplayer for you and your 1, 000 closest friends.

The "Invalid Session Resubmit Form" bug has been dealt with. To insure you have no trouble in the future, you should take the following steps.
 

1. Using Firefox AND Internet Explorer, please delete the browsing history and all cookies for BOTH BROWSERS within the browser while you do NOT have the TAG website up.
2. Using Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup in ALL Vista Versions and ALL XP Versions you need to perform a complete disk cleanup, including all temporary files of all types.
3. For all MAC users, please perform the same steps. This only applies to OS10+ users.

This will cause a forced replacement of all TAG related files on your hard drive and of course remove any bunk DNS entries left over from the former server. The problem had to do with reverse DNS and was an issue I was able to resolve at the fire wall level, however to benifit from the change I made you need to perform the steps above.

Thanks!

We are currently aware of the issue the majority of the registered users are having with the 'Invalid Session Error'.  We are currently working to have this issue addressed as soon as possible.

Player Structure

• Items picked up (either manually or with the /pickupAllRoomItemsIntoInventory command) from the top level of a room of a structure or POB ship into the top level inventory will no longer autostack, so that their original unique id is preserved, so that they can be restored with the /restoreDecorationLayout command. If the item is subsequently stacked (either manually through the item's radial menu, or automatically by moving the item around), the item will lose its unique id, and the item subsequently pulled from the stack will be a different item with a different id, and will not be restored with the /restoreDecorationLayout command.
• Reverted Medium House Footprint to correct medium house maximum capacity.

Miscellaneous

• Traders should no longer have issues selecting a vendor gender if both male and female vendor options are available for the vendor species.
• Added the ability to name the rustic armoire. This change is not retroactive.
• Fixed some issues with color customization on some beasts and mounts.
• The Shipwright Helper Monkey Collection now has the correct tooltips associated with it.
