then dont queue for them? theyre 'master' mode? I dont know what other players would expect if they queue for master mode content, then expect master mode content I suppose. Make a new category? I don't think it would be hard for them to add a new category of difficulty. Plus, the feature is 'Group Finder'. I want to find a group. Why not have content in the group finder? It makes little sense to me. Make some minimum requirements to queue for certain content, e.g completed the easier version, minimum item rating, minimum character level, completed it outside of group finder previously, etc. There are ways this can be solved and also makes Group Finder the go to place to find a group. we should have a 'any role - normal' (this should reflect current veteran mode) - this has no role requirement (usually 4xdps, but can be a mix of healer/tank) we should have a 'role queue - normal' (this should reflect current master mode) - this requires 1xtank 1xheal 2xdps we should have a 'role queue - hard' (this should reflect operations hard mode and master mode) - this requires 1xtank 1xheal 2xdps we should have a 'role queue - master' (this should reflect difficulty found in master mode operations) - this requires 1xtank 1xheal 2xdps

some of the bonus boss stuff is challenging to complete i guess. But so what? let people do the challenging content and if they fail, well so be it.. learn, adapt, improve. i cant be making custom groups to do this content all the time. group finder... is called a group finder for a reason. it also has "mode" support...so...it should just be in there... if people dont want to queue for it, then dont toggle them on. Simple.

add the master mode versions to the group finder.

Please could we have master mode uprisings added to the Group Finder? It's really annoying that theyre not included and nobody wants to do the veteran stuff.... Up the rewards and add it to the group finder so we have even more content to queue for

Many characters, many crew skills.... It's hard to keep track of whom is doing what or which character has which crew skill. I feel like crew skills could have some QoL improvement by enhancing character selection screen and showing crew skills that each character has. It already tells you the class and location, I think re-designing it a bit to show some more information or icons would be really helpful

Hi all, could someone explain to me why the "New" launcher is written in AngularJs? AngularJs is something from 2010 and its not even supported by Google anymore. Why is our game launcher a weird chromium browser based on AngularJs .... I am really confused how this got released to replace the previous launcher. It doesn't make any sense to me.

I could not get the PTS working on Steam. I am currently using Live on Steam. I decided to use the standalone launcher and I can get PTS + Live working on the Standalone launcher. Therefore I believe PTS on Steam seems to be broken for my system. I already sent the LauncherDiag archives to the email with the correct email subject but just in case others come across issues with testing PTS and the Steam version does not work for you, I did have success with the standalone non-steam version.

There really is no reason to stream if its going to be chat talking to a brick wall. It should be interactive, this has happened for the last few streams so really if this is how you want it to be, the content is just better suited to be released and cleaned up and edited to put on YouTube

If you're going to straight out write a comment like this. Could you at least do it professionally and written like an Adult? You wrote a post like an angry kid. Not disagreeing with you, but they wont read your post seriously if you make it like you yourself are a joke.

Satire or not, i can only agree.

They need it. They seem to be high in the sky at the moment. Anything that helps them touch grass might mean they end up taking the right decisions....

People who never had migraines in their entire life have started to get migraines with this new UI. I think that is enough evidence of how bad it is.

I almost guarantee I've spent more money on this game than you have. I have a right to complain about the poor product. You are more than welcome to add negative or positive feedback. Got an issue with me giving feedback and complaining? Go and do one.

This is probably the perfect opportunity to break the cycle like I had. I've played since BETA. 10 years I subbed, even when I didnt play daily. I have actually cancelled this game. It is not worth it. Keep the memories and the account. But enjoy star wars by other star wars games and movies and shows. There is 1000000% a better game out there for you to enjoy and play daily, trust me. This game is extremely low quality for what we paid them and continue to pay them. You can always come back if they actually turn it around. But I would take this time, to really vote with your wallet. Give the game up and see if you can find and enjoy something else for say 3-6 months. You may even find your new best game to play that you want to play daily and have so much fun in it, you will really start to understand how wrong they did us in this game. Be strong and cancel. You can always come back.

Agree 100%! EA took the least amount of opportunity while they were the exclusive owners of the IP for Games. It's kind of disgusting the number of games they made considering how long they owned it. Battlefront was damn good and Respawn did an absolutely amazing job on Fallen Order. Super excited to see what they achieve for Fallen Order 2 AND their brand new First person shooter Star Wars IP too. Finally EA has some redemption with the Star Wars IP license. Obviously now that EA arent the only holders of the license, other studios are already creating amazing new games. I honestly think the only reason we're getting a "UI Refresh..." is because they want to make it seem like theyre putting effort into this game, some kind of strange and terrible business decision in order to not lose customers going to other Star Wars games developed by non EA studios (Aspyre, Ubisoft, Quantic Dreams)

What ever they do, they've certainly learned their lesson on HeroEngine.

Hey team, let's release a minor content patch and pass it off as an expansion. Whilst we do the bare minimum, lets spend our budget on a cinematic to hype up the game that has been lacking a real expansion for years, you know...to make the players really think this is a big expansion. While the hype is super high and everyone is really excited, lets release a digital collectors edition pack for the game which gives them some basic skins, but also does not actually give them any access to the collectors vendors that were in launch of the game. You know, really make them spend out some money before we launch with the hype. Once we launch the game, **** is gonna really hit the fan when they actually find out we released a 10% complete UI overhaul, which is buggy and still not the right colours and when they finally finish the 30minutes of cut scene content, so we're going to need to bunker down and bury our heads in the sand for at least 3 months. Lets hope they "FORGOR 💀" we took them for a ride and re-appear by publishing a new news article from Keith pretending the launch of 7.0 was a success and that we've been taking all the feedback and will be introducing a roadmap over the next 10 years. you know, keep it super generic to give them a sense of hope while reeling in their cash from the cartel market. They'll eventually forget we gave them an expansion of not content, but just air. hehe. We'll be known as the Pirates of Rishi, AKA Bioware Studios. - Leadership Team for SWTOR, probably.

Though I mostly agree with you. The new UI is not "subjectively" worse. It is objectively worse and that's just a fact. The UX is extremely terrible in comparison the previous. The functionality is worse, even if it might be "subjectively" worse. You now need to do more actions in order to see your stats...on the character profile. They are now hidden away in a tiny box that you then need to scroll through to actually see your stats. Previously you just opened up the sheet and you could see them without needing to scroll... The new UI also takes up far too much of the screen now adding the inventory into the mix when previously and in pretty much any MMO the Inventory and Character screens are usually separated, probably for the very reason we're now experiencing. People saying it's taking up too much of the screen and they cant keep it open while doing other things etc. Lastly, the guy isn't moaning about SWTOR on some Save the Elephants Website, he's in the right place doing it and I would encourage people to give the negative feedback, in a constructive way if possible obviously.

This is the way.

It's not the Developers. It's the leadership team. I know you probably mean that too. But the Developers have done what they're told to do. I'm sure there is some freedom of creativity down to artists and developers with specific outcomes that the directors would like, but ultimately the people to blame for this expansion is both the game director and producer.

From what has been going on around the world for the last 2 years, please for the love of god, do not add restrictions to the content we can play. Bloody hell. Would like to be able to pick the flashpoints I enjoy Would like to be able to pick the heroics I enjoy Would like to be able to select any flashpoint Would like to be able to run any content to gear Would like group finder to recognise all the roles I can fulfil Would like to be able to actually swap loadouts in content or when I have an active phase Would like to be able to swap same role loadouts or what is the point? Would like Master mode uprisings to finally be added to group finder??? Would like to be able to run previous content like chapters but they're now insanely imbalanced and broken

Steam shows there is about 12,000 on average playing daily. So even my original estimation was higher. From 12,000 daily maybe 75-80% are subs?

I used to casually login and do achievements and select them based on what I preferred to complete compared to others. Now I cant. I dont find grinding gear fun, I had been logging in to do completionism sorts of tasks for a an hour or so.

I would be less ****ed off if it was fed into new Mass Effect, but that's my own personal agenda and subjective approach to what I find an acceptable amount of cashcow for all intents, if that makes sense. Would be less happy if X profits goes to EA and to get funding for SWTOR and or other Bioware projects, i.e the new Mass Effect = They would have to request the funding and may get even less funding than what SWTOR would give them from profits. Anyway I'm still more interested in: - Subscriber count + Total revenue from subscribers - Cartel Market revenue - Management Team Salary (Story Directory, Producer, Game Director etc) combined. I'm guessing 500k+ yearly - Content / Developer / Artists Team Salary - Paid Actor / Contractor / Voice Actors adhoc Charges? Sum it all up and see how much it really would cost roughly for 7.0 / Maintenance of SWTOR vs What they actually make and where it goes.

You cant even do this. Dude, I understand you have seen all the bad threads and maybe you want to add some positivty. But half of what you said in your post doesnt even work like how you say it. You are fabricating something that the game doesn't actually support.
