I liked this very much and I think you bring up a very valid point especially at the end. A lot of peoples bars of expectation were set to ridiculously high levels and keep bashing Bioware for answers to outrageous demands. Thanks for the insight as well, I was unaware of a few of the details in there.

I dont need to work for a company to know their value and how they treat consumers. Thats like saying I should work at McDonalds because their hamburgers are known for not being the best in comparison to some gourmet burger joint. It's not baseless, its opinions created by facts. I have a right to my opinion, as you do yours. I feel EA has held back Bioware and thats my take on it. A better example would be why some people buy Call of Duty games from Treyarch as opposed to Infinity Ward or vice versa.

Valid points and well said. I agree, I admit Star Wars is what brought me here, even though I've loved any game Bioware has ever made.

I'm stating facts that EA has a poor consumer trust, this is fact not opinion. Yes, I have my own opinions of them as well, which I have a right to voice as all the hundreds of other threads seem to do lashing out at everything else but the main source.

Stop looking to troll, I'm looking for constructive feedback on what the post entails not what my thread subject heading is.

To make a long story short, the reason being is that you misread the fact that yes Bioware developed the game, but they have very minimal say on what gets pushed out.

Perhaps you should read my post and not just the subject line before commenting.

Because criticizing a post with an analogy that isn't being offense is immature, right? If that's the case, then I suppose I could say the same for you? I'd like to see some of the picture of Twi'leks who wear full helmets or covered their whole lekku in a hood. I've yet to see one, and honestly how would that fit underneath all of that anyway? To use WoW as an example, Taurens helmets had holes in them for their horns, it looks stupid but thats how they made them able to wear helmets, yet hoods somehow magically conceal their horns.. I dont know the best answer really to 'fix' this per se, but I'd imagine a good majority of players know MOST Twi'leks don't wear anything on their heads.

Unlike other games MMO's are heavily controlled more so by the publisher than by the developers. Yes, the devs have some input but ultimately the publisher is the one who has the final say in what is released, when and what it will entail. EA even stated from pre launch that if SWTOR doesn't meet or exceed their expectations they will essentially abandon the game. Bioware over the years has made great titles, INCLUDING SWTOR. However, I firmly believe EA's deathgrip is holding back many of the key elements of the game that had been promised on launch and not yet delivered. EA is known to be an extremely untrustworthy publisher and has very low consumer trust, however Bioware on the flip side has a very high consumer trust. I feel as where people feel some areas of the game that have shortcomings are not due to the development but due to poor marketing by EA executives. I feel that EA knowing that this is Star Wars, and developed by Bioware put them in a situation where they could essentially throw together anything, release it and sell tens of millions of copies on simply just that alone. This is my personal belief of what I see will be the major issue with the game in the future. What company will publicly say if the game they are supposed to back will be basically abandoned within a year if it doesn't meet their standards for sales and continued subscription numbers? I love this game, and I sure hope that my concern stays merely just my extreme bias for EA labeled products and doesn't play out to eventually ruin what has the potential to be a very long lasting and outstanding MMORPG.

OP sounds like a 6 year old kid demanding something from his parents or he will hate them. Make your post constructive instead of threatening Bioware to change something because you rolled a character that is an alien race with a differently shaped head, of which lore wise DOESNT wear ANYTHING but a small headpiece at times..

This will probably be a long post, perhaps a bit of a blog about my experiences thus far but I wonder if there are others in my boat.. I have yet to really find my main character in this game. I currently have a 42 Merc, which I loved so much but I'm a RP'er and from that standpoint I felt left out in much of my guilds RP due to most guilds on the server my two highest characters are on very unsociable, rather empty even during primetime hours and focus typically on either Sith/Jedi RP. I got burnt out with that character and decided to make a Sith Marauder, of which is now level 38. I found the story of the Sith Warrior very fun so far, and However even with all that, I felt the Marauder to be rather squishy and didn't quite appeal to my playstyle. I've rolled on a few other higher population servers, tried a Jedi Shadow, found the story to be lackluster and wish that if you were to go the path of a grey Jedi as I did that there would be gear suited toward that, being neutral left me hampered at times on gear availability. I also didn't enjoy the fact even if you are dark aligned the story doesn't seem to progress any different, so the darkside choice is more aesthetic choice than anything else. I also tried a Sith Inquisitor but the lightning although awesome to look at visually is overused and gets me bored quickly.. So now I'm back once again, this time I rolled a new Sith Warrior and have gone the path of the Juggernaut.. So far, so good I think, although the sad part is I did roll this character on a higher population RP-PVP server and therefore lost my legacy as a result. Even though the leveling of legacy is fairly easy, and so far there doesn't seem to be a great deal of benefit out of it since the cost of the good things are outrageous I just feel like a lost soul, searching the galaxy trying to find what is right for me.. So, is anyone else in a similar situation where you just are stuck trying to find YOU among your current character choices and which one you know for certain you can say "This is my main and always will be"

I was wondering after you get to level 50 and complete your final class quest, and are also maxed out with your companion affection do they stop wanting to talk with you? Also aside from your 'main' companion who gives you quests off the ship, do any others give any later on?

Ok I'll give that a shot then. Thanks guys for the help. Cheers

Anyone or customer service can you assist?

I just built a new rig yesterday but throughout my gaming tenure I have used Nvidia cards. I decided to go with a crossfire setup of HD 6770's. Playing the game when running Crossfire I get black bar flickering, but if I turn off crossfire its fine. I have the most current Catalyst 12.4 and I downloaded the application profiles as well. For some reason under the application profiles however, I cannot see anything in the dropdown even though it says it installed correctly. Is there anything I need to change in order to see the dropdown? Also what settings for best performance with minimal quality loss should I set the for the settings in the CCC?? PC Specs: i7 2600k 3.4 ghz 16GB DDR3 Ram 2 TB HDD 750W PSU and of course the dual HD6770's
