You don't need to pay extra, you can get the app on your phone. Those little security devices are just for people who want a separate device. You get the vendor if you get the app on your phone. You're a DUR DUR DUR dude. Those devices have to maintain perfect time in-sync with the one that the server has for that device, that's how it randomly generates those numbers and why you have to put in a serial number off the back. They cost about 4-5 dollars to make and they sell them for that. It isn't a big deal, if you don't have a smart phone buy one if you have a phone don't. I personally have an Iphone and have one too. Maybe you shouldn't be playing games if you're that broke and have 10000000000 kids to feed and 500000 wives to pay off and 54432423423 rents to pay? I'm so tired of hearing people say **** like this, like it's BW's fault you have tons of responsibilities that other people who managed their life differently don't have. It's such a load of ********.

This game is too easy as it is. I'm sure having specific forms of damage could only help to make the game less super easy.

Probably not. They need to fix the almost infinite long list of other problems before they get to more "cosmetic" ones such as these. Odds are it will be years, and even longer if the sub numbers plummet like they appear to be doing.

Sounds like the game is dying to me, if people are already asking for server transfers it doesn't sound good. My server is fine, but I'm IMP.. I hope republic side has at least 100 people in fleet on peak hours I usually see about 200-300 people in fleet during peak time.. 100 isn't bad tho, honestly. The game usually only has like 1500 people per side on a standard-high server.

Since when was it cool to be casual and not cool to be hardcore? Since this game came out I guess....casual city is basically the definition of TOR. Last time I checked the majority of players do play 30+ hours a week, and the games retention relies on end-game. So how about you casual warriors stop bashing the "hardcore" community, there's a lot more than you think and possibly more of us than you. We may be the deciding factor of this game lasting, so **** plz.

Where did you hear this? Did they state that? If that's the case, I'm really *********** bummed. I mean, I am playing this game as an MMO and going to primarily PvP and raid so it isn't a HUGE deal but I do kinda like jaessa for some reason. They should have just added this **** at release. With that said...I'm really thinking about rerolling a male just so I can get the character I want...

This. I play a female warrior sith and want to romance jaenessa but obviously I can't due to the lack of same gender relationships. I'm going to be so bummed if they don't retroactively allow us to romance past companions. I dig jaenessa but it seems like maybe I made a mistake by picking what I think is a cooler looking female character. Serious question, does anyone know if we will retroactively be able to romance current companions when same sex is added or only new ones? I'm going to be so bummed if it isn't retroactive....

Yea, I mean HELLO. I'm pretty sure Mages had some form of heals in WoW beta, there's a reason Mages didn't have heals in retail! And there's a reason priests for the most part only did fairly slow dot damage and could only really do that specced as shadow. H E L L O derp derp de durr I have no idea how they plan to fix these issues.

Bioware messed up when they tried to make everyone happy and give the hybrid QQ babies everything and allow them to heal and do tons of damage in the same spec. I shouted this during beta and was told to shut up. A hybrid class should NEVER do as much damage as a dedicated DPS. EVER. A sorc specced to heal should NEVER do much damage. A sorc specced to DPS should NEVER be able to heal much. They tried to make everyone happy so people can spec any which way throw points everywhere and basically be, bad, and still **** the game. I love the story but it makes me sick to see them dump gameplay left and right for it. The marauder isn't as terrible as everyone makes it seem in this thread but it definitely needs help. I see this problem more indicative as a problem with the entire design of the class system as a whole. I dont know what bioware was even thinking when they decided to make some classes do as much damage as a full dps class and still give them heals. I hate to say it, but, idiots. Hope that opinion doesn't get me in trouble, but yes, it's that big of a mistake. lesson of the story is, you cant make everyone happy and you cant make a hybrid class do two things and do them both as good as a dedicated class. Besides, look at scoundrels... come on.

marauders aren't the worst class in the game, just don't be bad. They need work, but they aren't the worst. They just require a lot of work while playing, all their attacks are instant cast so you're smashing the **** out of keys constantly and actually having to...play the game...and...not..be..bad...

This dude is right. Credits are too easy to come by, and the economy system as a whole is entirely broken. They should have used some kind of money system where things were tiered, aka cents...not whole dollars. That would have given them more control over inflation. Secondly, you level so fast and everything is so cheap as easy, AKA mounts, that it's a joke. There are no ultra large money sinks are if you're broke, you're bad. I've talked to level 25 characters who leveled their crew skills up and sell things on the AH and have millions of credits. It's bad. I have no clue what BW is going to do, I really don't see how they can fix this except for rebalancing the economy and taking credits away from people, but that won't go over well... I mean, unless of course endgame items are going to cost millions and billions of credits... GG

Because he RP's, that's why he cares about this crap.

I've heard the same things. I really want the game to work, despite how hard I am on it. I really want a new MMO and I really want this one to be the one. I hope they add new raids, fix pvp, add new content. fix the bugs. Add hard modes to those raids, and have separate rewards. I hope.... I sometimes wonder if BW hears anything we say on these forums or even cares.

I agree, when I was on my server I was in a hardcore PVP and raid guild. We had pre-mades but we also had a nemesis guild that we had a feud with. It was awesome. We flamed each other on the forums and had it out for each other. I was a high-end mage and could develop relationships with players of both factions. When I saw a certain someone in a warzone I would go after them and greif them hard, and they'd do the same to me. It went a long way to build community and was extremely fun. I think a part of this is having a solid group of friends that pvp and always pvping with them. At least then you can build a community with them. I haven't heard BW was adding cross-server pvp yet but maybe I'm wrong. But I hope they don't for awhile, I want to build some feuds and build some community with the republic side players.

Well I guess we will see how well the game is doing after the first free month is over. Either way, I have to thank you for keeping the discussion civil, you're the first person on the forums who has kept things civil while having this discussion. I think it's because you understand where I'm coming from since you used to be a hardcore player.
