  1. I can log in under my account (subbed) but my son can't log into his F2P account. Some error at the top of screen saying patcher service is temprorarily unavailable. Anyone else have this or know why?
  2. Short answer is no. Medium answer is no, they had a chance at the release and screwed up. Longer answer is no, they had a chance at release and screwed it up. Additionally, too much time and money was spent on voice acting that everyone spacebars through when they could have been working on gameplay mechanics, faction balancing, and other countless other factors. They screwed up when they named it "The Old Republic". It should be called "The Old Sith Empire", because no one freaking plays republic (which is moot because the game is dying a slow death for both factions anyway).
  3. Because they want to keep a close ratio to active players to active threads on the forum.
  4. Just wondering out loud really. With Diablo 3 coming out, how many subs do you think will drop before the next monthly billing cycle (5-7 days for most people I believe). I've got my money on fewer than 1 million active (paying) players after the next billing cycle. I would go more, but I think there's still 2 months left for people that signed on for a 6 month sub at release that will keep it over 1 million till at lest July.
  5. Hey OP...learn how to spell "ridiculous" and people might actually take anything you have to say seriously. You probably made a good point or 2, but I couldn't get past the subject of the post. If you can't spell a word, don't use it.
  6. Nothing. I'm not even logging in for the free month they thew at us to try to get us to come back after the 1.2 patch. I sure as hell wouldn't pay for 3. I'll probably get Diablo 3 and play that for a while, then move on to something else. TOR had it's chance at greatness and failed miserably from wasting resources on voice-acting during production and from not doing ANYTHING to address glaring problems in the first month of release. EA blew it with this one. It always sucks to see something with potential get flushed down the can because the people in charge screw it up, then make it worse by not listening to the customers.
  7. They moved it to the suggestion box so it could die, because most forum readers only check the general forums and maybe their class forum and PvP forum (if they're into PvP). The suggestion box is like the Room of Requirements "Room of Hidden Things", where things get hidden to be forgotten and die.
  8. Preach on sister! If they had listened to the vast majority of people that have now unsubbed because they DIDN'T listen to us, they'd have a lot more active subscribers, and therefore more cash flow coming into their coffers. All the reasons you mentioned, and most of all, doing something about the EXTREME faction balance problems. They should have called this game Star Wars: The Old Sith Empire. But as you said, we've unsubbed and our opinion means squat. I'm not even sure if they did fix the major problems (and gave me a free month) I'd come back.
  9. I unsubbed a month ago and I can still post. I "do" wish I could get a refund on the $60 I paid for the software since they're giving it away for free now. For all you people still playing and liking it, good for you. That doesn't change the fact that the game that could have been a legendary MMO indeed falls mind-numbingly short for a great many people that looked forward to this travesty of a game for years. Edit: First post since a week or 2 before I unsubbed. Only reason for posting is because I'm bored sitting at home and dreading the surgery I have coming on Wednesday, so I came to see if anything had really changed in the past month. It hasn't.
  10. I can see where he's coming from, no need to be like that. If you use consumables frequently (e.g. biochem + pvp's) and hotkey both your trinkets, that eats up 5+ slots...then hotkeying your speeder is another one. I could use at least 1 more bar easily, but I get by.
  11. Hell no. (I would have just said "no", but posts have to be at least 5 characters now).
  12. Cancelling my sub too. Runs out around the 20th. Cancelled it once before for a week then came back. This time I haven't logged in for over a week, so I doubt that'll happen again.
  13. A "squad leader" type class that specializes as a support class instead of a tank, healer, dps. Maybe let their main thing be to have a pet out in groups and 2 out in solo situations. That's just a big problem with a lot of MMO's now. It's all tank, dps, healer...there's no support classes. A tank, healer, dps, and a support class should be an ideal group. Maybe make FPs a bit harder and up group sizes to 5. This isn't going to happen though. The game is too new and no races or classes will be made for a long long time. They still have to get out of the red from development costs and have a profitable product before they spend that kind of cash upgrading it. Maybe they already have, but I doubt it. They probably have at least 400-500 million invested in development, servers, production, etc. I really doubt they've made it up. Couple that with people dropping subs and other anticipated games coming out, I think they'll be lucky to break even on this game. They've had 4 months to fix the game since it was released and hardly anything has been done. As much as I looked forward to this game I'm sad to say it's just not the success many people thought it would be. It's fun the first time though (for some classes anyway), but faction imbalance and low populations kill level 50 content (even more for Republics who have trouble find groups for FPs at 50 due to extremely low Republic populations).
  14. I personally miss the good ole days of MMO when you HAD to group (EQ1). If you didn't group, you didn't progress...or you rerolled as a mage or druid (and spent hours upon hours of levelling instead of having fun). WoW is also responsible for the "solo leveling" experience. Sure, get to max level by yourself...then you have absolutely no idea how to play in a group when you get there. WoW killed the MMO market by getting rid of support classes and making it a 3 playstyle game (tank, healer, dps). I guess I enjoyed the time I spent in WoW. I won't go back to it...but I did enjoy the time I spent there. But now, looking back...I hate them for what they did to all future games to come. There will never be another MMO where you "have" to group to advance...and if there is it just won't be popular enough to have enough subscribers to push new content, bug fixes, etc. Sadly, this bridge is burned and those days are gone forever.
  15. Stop trying to flame. It's pretty obvious that he's a new player and isn't going to have enough credits to buy them. Even if he did, why buy something now that you can't use when it's possible the price will go down before he ever gets to the proper level? Learn some manners and quit being a jerk. Edit: Just noticed you play a Sith/Imperial. In hindsight I'm not surprised by your poor attitude.
