[Solo'ing not viable IA:Sniper]

I hope this isn't too offensive but it's not the sniper class that is the problem it's you. You had it easymode when you had a healer companion for your first companion and now you think the rest of the game should be that easy. It isn't, but it's not impossibly difficult either. I did just fine until I finally got Dr. Lokin(our viable healer companion) in my lat 30's. Now it's Bounty Hunter style easymode for me too. Don't bother gearing up your RV 48 by the way, he doesn't heal for crap.

 

Now for some constructive ideas for you;

A:Learn which abilities do what.

B:Gear Kaliyo up, at leat until you get Dr. Lokin in your late 30's.

C:Undertsand your limitaions, be prepared to rest in between fights.

D:Practice makes perfect as they say, but if you just can't get the hang of it reroll. You don't have to level your sniper.

 

Good luck!

[New update "Jumps to lightspeed"]

I guess I'm the only one that plays SWTOR that hated SWG space combat. I actually prefer what they have done here. Once your ship is all modded out and well equiped it's pretty fun. SWG Jump to Lightspeed was my least favorite update to that game, it was laggy and clunky, and the controls were not smooth and responsive. RIP SWG, but it was your time.

[This game is way too hard, and it's not just me...]

This game is remarkably hard, and it's not just me.

From playing this game since the first day of early access, I have seen many things about this game. Some I liked, some I did not… But something increasingly becoming a problem is the difficulty of this game. I have a guild and we frequently discuss the difficulty, and we all agree on a couple things…

 

 

Some quests are just arbitrarily hard. The sith warrior quest when you're put on the tracking station is a joke… They storm in and all kill you. (4-5 exceptional units). Instantly kill my companion and kill me in 3 hits… and were supposed to be able to solo this? This is a joke… Why would you do this? Makes no sense why in the game you would have someone attack each unit individually and die, and respawn until their all dead… That's not fun at all, that's just annoying… If a quest is going to need a group, why not just say that ahead of time and save us the time of dying 6-7 times trying to kill something that obviously requires 2 people? Not everyone is geared up in full orange armor…

 

But in general, Bosses are hard, absurdly hard. Whether it’s a non-heroic but still elite boss for a class quest, or a boss in a heroic instance… They're unbelievably hard, and I honestly think it brings the game down if it's far too hard to manage. The last boss in Hammer Station so far is impossible. I haven't met a single person on my server able to complete it (at normal level). The last boss is ridiculous, and hits you for ridiculous amounts… I don't know about you, but it's not my idea of fun clearing an entire instance to fail on the last boss 12-15 times and find that it's simply not possible.

 

 

I'm not asking for you to easify the entire game and make fights a cakewalk.. but seriously? It'd be nice to give me a non heroic / non-group quest that's at-least doable....

 

I can has your stuff when you go back to easymode Wowzers?

[Ex-SWG players,...do you]

Play this game, then remember how much better swg was? Not complaining, it's a great game, but I can't help but want:

 

Player made cities

More class choices

More realistic

Less WoWistic

More depth

I can name a solid 5 more.

 

don't flame me, it's just an opinion i thought I would share with other ex-swgers

Games great, I'm sure I'll adapt, but just off of first week impressions

 

For me, SWG died when Sony decided to completely change the mechanics. Now I did got back, or try to rather in the few months before the game ended and I found that it was just not the same. SWG has been dead for many years. This game has better graphics, better mechanics, and hey I hooked up with my old SWG buddies so it has the same community. I miss oldschool SWG but this game is great and I'm sticking with it.

[Best launch in MMO history, everyone by 15th!]

Worst launch ever in mmo history. Every other mmo ALL people would be in,

 

Yeah but every other MMO had lag, server crashes, q's. This launch has none of that. This launch is perfect. I'm sorry you didn't get in early but that's your own fault for not pre-ordering or enetering your pre-order code sooner. They said from day one that it would be a staggered early access based on date you entered your code so I bought mine on day one. If you couldn't afford to or something, well sorry for your luck but it's just a game.

[STAP in game Vehicle]

You prolly get the STAP as soon as you start although you can't use it (skill isn't avaliable til lvl 25) so I think you're just saving 8k you would've needed to buy a mount. Still have to pay the 40 k for the skill tho once available at 25.

Nope you get it mailed to you when you are eligible to buy the riding skill, at level 25. Just like you don't get the holo-dancer until you have your ship at lvl 16-18.

[[NAME HOLDING] No limit on character creation ruined game]

So...

 

Who agrees that No limit on character creation was bad?

 

 

There was no limit on the number of toons a person could make on servers or across different servers. Most names have been taken and due to the limit on what we can use as a name this really upsets a lot of people. Now we cant play on our Guild server since our names were taken. Yes many of us were able to check...

 

If there was a limit on character creation this could have been prevented.

 

If all players had equal chance to start at the same time, this would not be a issue.

 

-----------------------------

 

Why was there no limit on character creation?

 

.

?

 

Completely false, I logged in today on two servers and got all 16 names that I wanted. No problems at all. There are not enough people playing yet to have taken every single name that can possibly be conceived of in all the languages of the earth. Troll much?
