  1. 1) A person of the same class cannot enter the class instance (belonging to someone else) if they have already completed it. 2) Inability to join as spectator for party cut scenes while aboard their ship or while they use a holo-communicator in the open world. 3) The lack of the KOTOR side games (pazzak, swoop, gambling) 4) Inability to change sides (but I recognize why) 5) Space travel. I expected it to be more along the lines of how eve is set up. 6) Consistent extra maintenance. This debate rages on. For those few points my list of reasons why I like it is much much longer. If it wasn't I wouldn't be a subscriber.
  2. Personally I think the reason other FTP games have been successful is for the other than main story content. Its been my experience with this game that more people are only here to see the main story and don't really care a super lot about pvp, raiding and such. I think were going to see an overall loss of subs (my guess is between 30-40% since the last meeting) a rather large temporary increase in players. I think most will play the stories and leave. But making 2 million players? Yeah I can see that early on. Just not as subscribers.
  3. Perhaps this comment is more for the suggestion forum, and if this is already implemented I apologize since I have not yet participated in the rated war zones. But perhaps a team score system like that used in SC2's rated matches would help with this. assigning points based on individual win/loss to create a team score. So if your "team" is miles better than everyone else, your que would be long initially. this could give lower point teams matches to catch up to the high skilled guilds.
  4. from the faq http://www.swtor.com/support/helpcenter/6479
  5. Personally I want to see an obvious advantage of the subbers vs the non subbers. This gives the free players a reason to sub. Granted there is a fine line. But with just enough of an edge to give the free players hope they will be left craving more, then sub.
  6. To me this FTP model looks more along the lines of a good old fashioned demo. About the only thing you get full access to is the storyline of the original 8 classes. So if you think of it this way, it's not anymore P2W that it was to buy the old games after reaching the end of the demo.
  7. This made me laugh so hard. By the time I was 14 I had 4x the gaming experience in general. I started so young I only remember being a kid playing on my trash 80 and my 2600. Sir, my advice is that even though you are entitled to your options when you critique thing do make sure you have sufficient experience. 2 years to the gaming industry as a whole is far from enough. Your age combined with lack of experience only makes people not listen to you. I suggest when a game begins to bore you and you choose to quit, Submit some feed back directly and continue your search for the next thing. The method you chose to use OP was not the best, as I'm sure you see that now. Get some PC gamers, spend some time on G4's website, 1up.com, IGN and such. Get some experience reading reviews. There are constructive ways to suggest things and then there's just complaining, which no one reads seriously.
  8. I tried this a while back. I didn't have any success. But as I said that was some time ago. I would be interested to see if anyone has had success as well.
  9. SC2 / DCUO. Too late to go outside and there's nothing good on tv. But sometimes I just go to bed.
  10. Three times a week is a bit much. Im glad your working on it but at least you moved the time a little.
  11. This, or add new skills that require other weapons so your not out those light saber required skills.
  12. Vanilla AV was truly epic. I remember matches before any cross server stuff. The que to get in was usually an hour (single server too). But this didn't matter as the matches lasted something like 12-16 hours on average. Just as soon as you thought you had the match won the other faction would manage to summon a guardian or something and spank you back to the middle. I remember one lasting something like 40 hours before the boss was killed. Truly an epic battle that lived up to being a war zone.
  13. I just thought that a subscribed thread button would be handy. It could be placed at the top of all the forum pages or next to your username in the upper right corner. With one click you could see a list of all your subscribed threads making them easier to find rather than sift though pages of threads.
  14. Interestingly, I was trying to find where BW endorsed the use of Macro HW and found this Basically, even though they endorse Hardware, it is not allowed to be used with the game.
  15. See it is my understanding that at this time they are not in support of Macro's in game. But at the same time they can't prevent you from using them. But you are right, If it its BW's stance that they want you to use macro devices, then yes its not cheating. Given that the game is not built with macro capability it makes sense to me that the developers did not intend this game be played with helping hands. Simply that it makes better business sense to say "go ahead" instead of telling customers what hardware they can use. As they simply cannot control that. All they can do is infer that its not aligned with the spirit of the game. That's just my 2 cents. If I am wrong and missed where BW actively encouraged HW based Macro's in lieu of software based then I do apologize for being misinformed. If one day BW introduces a macro system then that will be just fine. For now however, it is still my opinion that I like the game just fine driving the manual.
  16. As much as I like being able to tack on a comment when casting I find that I like having the paying field equalized for the most part. Yes there will always be cheaters. And yes, using Macro Enabled Hardware in a game that was not meant for it is cheating. But the truth is, those who are willing to buy the hardware are the hardcore gamer. Those people are going to be skilled enough to tear up the commoner without the hardware. As it sits now, combat feels quite fair to me. Even though i am typically a Macro User I still prefer this game without it. And no, I don't have any special hardware. I could but I like the challenge.
  17. I like this idea too. I could also have some fun fluff stuff if by not only having a friend legacy, but also being able to feud with one as well.
  18. I don't argue that the game engine can use some work, but I am inclined to go with the statement about hardware not playing nice together. That's they I have an EVGA MB and an EVGA Geforce. Given that my computer is weaker than the OP's It to me indicates that Hardware isn't playing nice or that the OP has other software, like that of antivirus (but not limited to) that bogging down the performance of the machine. Best I can remember from when I last checked was 80fps avg 100fps top. using the frame rate meeter in game. I didn't catch your OS. What was it? I too had bogging issues but someone here suggested going to a 64bit win 7. that was the key for me. EVGA p55le MB EVGA gtx460sc 1g i5 760 quad core O/C'd to 4ghz all the time turbo disabled. coolermaster v8 cpu cooler to keep it cool 4 gigs ripjaw ddr3 Segate Barracuda 500gig 16mb cache 7200rpm HD.
  19. Are there any plans for any kind of system that would allow players to tell if their friends are online when playing an opposing faction?
  20. Unfortunately its all far too true how people behave under the veil of anonymity. As stated in Beta, we tried it and we found that we couldn't handle it. I though would like to at least be able to add opposing factions to my friends list just to see if they are online or not. Then I could switch factions to play with my buds instead of both of us thinking the other is offline. With this game in particular, I'd rather not have extra chat programs running at the same time just to see who's online and who isn't.
  21. ^ this... It's a pug. Pugs are a simple crap shoot. I used to call them a "challenge". Even if it was a total loss it was fun trying to see if we could beat the odds sort of speak. So yeah, Ill sign for a no gear check tool. Even used to play that way in the dreaded WoW. As for hard mode, If your gonna pug one, then you get what your handed. Its a game. Don't treat it like the fate of the empire rests on it and it will be more fun. As for instance scaling, Wasn't that one of the advertised features of this game? That the instances would scale difficulty and loot according to the the members of your group? If they actually use this feature, It won't matter if your tank is naked. The possibility of completing the instance will remain although it may be more difficult.
  22. Also in the case of a D/C it would be fair to allow the timer to tick while being offline. I am not sure if this is the case currently or not. But if you D/C your spot should immediately be filled by the next person in que. No waiting to see if you come back.
  23. Problem here is that people will just pull the plug or alt+f4. Friends and I used to do that years ago to no lose points in battlenet. It stinks but a 15 min penalty for whatever reason works the best.
  24. I said it in another post but, perhaps...I've seen it said before that this game engine can be patched without taking the servers down. Maybe they are giving it a shot?
  25. Perhaps they are going to attempt to roll out a live patch as others have suggested this game engine is capable of...
