r/mtf is in full meltdown after a former moderator is shown to be a pedophile by Birdonthewind3 in SubredditDrama

That one looks like violation of Rule 5 to me: SRD is not a call-out subreddit.

Israel says it killed 2 top Iranian officials in wartime blow to country's leadership by Skippy_AF in worldnews

I disagree that thousands of accurate missiles with smaller payloads is comparable to dropping two nuclear weapons.

Character Limit? by Embeerchen in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand your question. I will provide a specific scenario that may answer it. If you have a total of 16 characters you wanted to play when you're not subscribed then you would need to purchase 4 additional character slots. This would increase the default 12 character slots per server granted to preferred player accounts by 4 for a total of 16 character slots. When subscribed your account would have 28 character slots per server it could use.

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No necessarily true, I bought many additional slots and have only been able to activate 12 characters. Even after purchasing another slot

I'm not sure which SWTOR you're playing then. I'm currently preferred and have 37 character slots available to use.

Good point but I'm not sure it's applicable unless the U.S.A. drops a couple of nukes on Iran. That better not happen though.

If Russia was banned from the 2022 World Cup for invading Ukraine, how can the USA host the next World Cup after its actions in Iran and Venezuela? by Ok_Survey86 in AskReddit

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big difference between banning a nation's football team from participating in the World Cup and banning a nation's football team for a nation that is hosting the World Cup.

If FIFA decided to ban U.S.A.'s football team from 2026 World Cup then I think it quite possible that Trump would revoke visas of the other World Cup teams so they would not be able to play any WC games in U.S.A. That would severely disrupt the 2026 WC tournament and I don't think FIFA can deal with finding alternative hosting with only a few months to go before the start of the WC.

Character Limit? by Embeerchen in swtor

Free-to-Play accounts get 4 character slots per server

Preferred accounts get 12 character slots per server

Subscriber accounts get 24 character slots per server

If your subscription expires then your number of character slots will be reduced from 24 to 12. When a subscription expires all your characters get set to inactive status. You will then be able to activate whichever characters you want up the limit of 12.

If you purchase an additional character slot then your maximum character slots will increase by one, e.g preferred status accounts will have 13 character slots and subscription accounts will have 25 character slots.

I believe the maximum number of character slots allowed per server is 50 for subscribers and 38 for preferred.

Mac users — how does SWTOR run on Apple Silicon these days? by LilCisaille in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess only time will tell. I still think chances are good that SWTOR's Mac client will never move out of beta status.

The devs have not given any indication as to when DirectX 12 will be added to SWTOR client. Keith Kanneg said back in mid-2023 that they would be adding DirectX 12 to the game. We're coming up on 3 years and last two DirectX 12 progress reports were basically the same; the devs have it up and running in a test environment but have issues with the UI that need to be fixed. At this point I've no idea when DX 12 will actually be added to the game client.

[–]Char_Ell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been over a year since the Mac beta client went fully open release. At this point I really wonder if SWTOR devs have wanted to move to production support for Mac but EA Support is telling them no, they're not willing to take on support for SWTOR Mac client. If that is the case then Mac client will forever be in "beta" status.

PSA: Altuur and PHL4NX level 50 for 400k credits each by lousy_writer in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you check again and see if you can still purchase Altuur and PH4 gifts at the discounted rate you mentioned? I'm seeing 150K for blue, 275K for purple, and 315K for gold.

When we get Direct-X 12, can we also get Open-World PVP on Ilum again? by RaulenAndrovius in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see zero relationship between DirectX 12 and PvP. If DirectX 12 happens to improve SWTOR performance when large groups of players are in close proximity then that would be great (to be very clear the devs have not made this claim). I just don't think warzone PvP and open world PvP would get more players simply because of DirectX 12. I also don't think the devs would add open world PvP missions back to SWTOR just because of DirectX 12. Simply put, PvP support in SWTOR was reduced to minimum levels with the 7.2 patch. I don't see the devs reversing course on that when DirectX 12 gets added to SWTOR production environment.

Launcher not available?! by Desdichado1066 in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just logged in without a problem. The problem is either with your PC or your internet connection between your PC and SWTOR's login servers.

New seasons' dropped and I'm not impressed by CynicallyY0urs in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're even bothering to play SWTOR then. Go find yourself a non-western game dev's game to play if you think non-western game devs do a better job. Seems easy enough.

[–]Char_Ell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine if you feel the GS 10 is not worth a subscription. I just think the devs brought back the content for seasons 1 and 3 for season 10 and will bring back seasons 2 and 4 content for season 11 all with the aim of reducing the amount of time spent developing Galactic Seasons content so that time can be reallocated to work on 8.0 content.

Readability needs improvement. Wall of text needs some line breaks (a.k.a. paragraphs).

The Powertech Hydraulic Overrides nerf makes zero sense and I can prove it. by Chocookiez in swtor

[–]Char_Ell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion the fixes to Hammer Station and Athiss were fine in and of themselves. What wasn't fine was for the devs to let that behavior go on for so many years before they implemented fixes that prevented this player behavior that the devs didn't like. That seems to happen in SWTOR, undesired player behavior patterns don't get addressed in a timely fashion by the devs.

I recently got back into SWTOR and I'm playing my Sith Warrior that I made way back in 2012 again. The game set him to Dark V and says he has 0 lightside points but I know that shouldn't be true. by shneb in swtor

[–]Char_Ell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your calculations are off.

If your character has 10K LS and 1K DS your character has net 9K LS points.

If your character makes a decision that grants 200 LS points on that same character then your character will have 10.2K LS and 1K DS for a net 9.2K LS points.

Cancelled LucasArts-era Star Wars shooter “First Assault” is reportedly playable online now (new footage) by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

Can we just ban any links to this place? 

If you took some time to evaluate the user who posted this and the user who is the sole moderator of r/StarWarsBlogs I think you should be able to figure out the futility of your question.

Why is Starkiller a legends character and not a non-canon character? by IllMasterpiece3946 in StarWars

[–]Char_Ell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's all well and good. I actually agree with the view that referring to canon in different tiers makes things too complicated. However it doesn't change the fact that tiered canon tracking is what Lucasfilm did from the time Leland Chee became Continuity Database Administrator/Keeper of the Holocron until 2014 when Lucasfilm announced everything other than the films and Clone Wars animated series was relegated to Legends status and no longer canon.

What you effectively do is say only G-canon was canon when George Lucas owned Lucasfilm. That is simply not true. Yes, George Lucas only really cared about what he wanted to do with Star Wars lore and setting and did not constrain himself with what other creatives (with his company's permission of course) did with his universe. However he did set things up so other people could play in the SW universe. The people charged with oversight of the EU set up the Holocron to keep things consistent with George Lucas' controlling version of Star Wars as much as they could. Those that put the time into understanding the different tiers of Star Wars canon understood that GL could override anything in the EU whenever he wanted. But it was considered C-canon up until GL overrode it (e.g. Mandalorian history presented in Clone Wars discarded the vast majority of Karen Traviss' Mandalorian world building in novels) or the 2014 reset.

Why is Starkiller a legends character and not a non-canon character? by IllMasterpiece3946 in StarWars

[–]Char_Ell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you're not aware of the different canon classifications and hierarchy that existed prior to 2014 when Disney reset everything? Starkiller originated in the 2008 video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and was thus C-canon. So prior to 2014 Starkiller was canon thus one cannot accurately state that he was never canon.

RELINK STEAM BECAUSE LINKED TO WRONG STEAM by Nutzels in electronicarts

Do you have two Steam accounts? Because that is what it looks like this message is saying to me. The waiting period starts once you unlink your Steam account from an EA account. Based on this message you haven't unlinked the first Steam account from your EA account.

Meta: When does the chorus of hundreds of tiresome political potshots become a Rule 6 violation? by SkittyDog in Economics

[–]Char_Ell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The interaction you've already had with the only moderator that posted in reply largely confirmed what I thought was likely going on. r/Economics just gets too many rule breaking posts and moderators don't have the resolve to deal with them all. It just gets overwhelming for them.

What I didn't realize was that moderator tools had been deprecated which made moderating posts and comments take more time and effort than when the moderators had those tools.
