  1. Serious? Really? Wouldn't you rather have your sort boxes on your guild tab to STOP disappearing , or any other of the SLEW of issues with the core game? Or are you behind the new 'Moods' also .......
  2. Why I'm staying so far? Hope... period.....I'm hoping that Bioware discovers how to make an MMO..... What's got me on the EDGE of unsubbing? Bioware's complete and total failure on many issues..... Armor Sets (BH and Camp) look like crap, and we get same 'ol same 'ol again, in this years hottest fashion colors: Year Old French's Mustard Yellow, and Menstrual Red........ Core minor bugs still in game since Beta Itemization... BW has no clue Free to Play (not against F2P, I'm against how soon we're at this juncture ....) Party Jawa to keep us subbed = weaksauce Attitude of the Execs in recent interviews.... showing total lack of any real clue .... I can go on, but I won't ....I've ZERO enthusiasm left, and am about out of hope. If a few more guild members unsub, no point in me, or my GF staying around either. We're already looking for our next MMO.....GW2 doesn't interest me. I can't believe that a Star Wars IP based game can be so screwed up, but here we are..... I loaded in a few shooters to keep entertained, and just got into Closed Beta for an up and coming shooter, which is 110% totally amazing, and IMO the best shooter I have ever played, and I played them all..... So, Hope, and my few remaining guild members are why I'm here, and am about out of both.....GJ Bioware....
  3. The CS people post what they're told to post.. essentially they are drones....the query for feedback is just to appear 'politically correct' and nothing more....so they can look like they feel the community matters. CS people will reply to threads like 'We want fluffy bunnies on Balmorra' but nothing that even comes close to serious interaction about heated points. In the RARE case they DO pop in to a 'hot' thread, it's to say that they welcome our feedback.....and they will never again post in that thread.... They will post a tickle here, a compliment there, so at the end of the week, there are lots of yellow posts in the Dev Tracker...... How any of these CS people go home and think they did a good day's Customer Service is beyond me. They must all need jobs very badly....
  4. All of my enthusiasm for this game is gone......no other way to describe it....my Destination Server has lost approx. 40% of it's average nightly population from when our guild (individually of course) transferred from our Origin server, which was dead with 30 people on fleet at any prime time .. I'm sitting here on my main, geared in just about BiS across the board, though all my BH mods are in my Rakata set, as the BH/Campaign gear is hideous....so what do they do? CLONE the 'new armor sets', and re-skin them....so, I'd be looking like a condiment plate in my new gear......Mustard and Ketchup.... with some relish perhaps .... I've lost 2-4 guildies (can't tell if AWOL, or just gone) .....which dented our raid group most evenings, as every Tom, Dick and Harry wants his/her very own guild, so, we have guilds like Two and a Half Men running around doing nothing, leaving recruiting at a standstill .... I cannot do another Daily quest.. for some reason, these burned me out fast..... LFG still semi-broken..I can go on...... These people simply do NOT have a clue about MMO gaming, in MY opinion.....and I'm getting angrier the more I write, so, I'm gonna wrap it up ....
  5. Some people are easily entertained I guess...... I mean REALLY, how many of you run around zoomed in where you can actually SEE the expression....??? That screenshot in a prior post is a good example....look at how CLOSE that is zoomed in order to see the girls mouth open......... No thanks.
  6. ^ This...... They simply do not listen: period. Same for the new armor (gag) sets......reskins, of already horrible looking gear....... Won't waste my time.
  7. Joveth.. my man........ Here's the issue... really... You guys (yep, said it ) have made numerous mistakes with this game since launch, the entirety of which is too numerous for this topic .......the topic being: You must stop penalizing the loyal playerbase for said mistakes: PERIOD ! Enough is enough. You guys (yep, said it again) are consistently doing a 180 degree turn on a great many things now, and frankly, it's ticking me off to no end, as it is many other FOUNDERS...... It's Bioware's game that's in decline, not the gamers. Take notice of this, Joveth, my man......THIS project can come to an abrupt end.. we'll just move on .....
  8. It's not just about levels.......it's also about YOUR gear, and the gear on your companion......are they up to your level? If you have green or blue gear, are the rated levels in your level range? Usually with 2-3 levels of YOUR level is acceptable..... If you have orange, slotted gear.. .are your armorings, mods and enhancements up to date? Do you upgrade these approx every 2 planets? Same for weapons.... Do you have relics? You'd be surprised how many people over level 20 have ZERO relics, or Implants, or Earpiece.... Your main companion should be maintained almost as meticulously as you are...... even poor players with underwhelming gear can whiz by a tough encounter, albeit with a dead companion..... the fact that you are dying tells me your companion has been mostly ignored.......
  9. IIRC the legacy piece from Coruscant looks like that.. may not be gray tho......
  10. No offense dude, but, you got carried, plain and simple .....
  11. These issues, EXACTLY, and completely..... I could not have made a better list.....I too am on Canderous Ordo. I've been making tickets since this issue began showing up, which to be frank, came with the World Event patch. As replies to my multitude of tickets, forum threads, all I got for several weeks was it's YOUR stuff, do this that and the other, send us dxDiag..... yadda... regardless of the possibility after so many tickets, and threads, that maybe, just MAYBE, it's on BW's end ....... Your QA needs to STOP testing from your own internal LAN......you should test and do QA from a 3rd party ISP, to simulate what... I dunno, your CUSTOMERS are complaining about? Doing QA from inside is useless.......50% of all issues won't be seen with 10ms or less connection speeds....
  12. Put a thread in the CS forums also.... needs attention soon, hopefully someone will notice ...... Bump this one too C.O. peeps ..... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=522140
  13. I'm on Canderous Ordo... I made a thread with our server name in it here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=522139 Hopefully we get rebooted soon .....
  14. I do IT for a living, so it's not my internet, or anything related to MY stuff ..... Since the event started, getting random lag....... Switch toons.. get stuck at loading screen Attempt to zone onto / off of my ship, get stuck at loading screen. This seems to be happening on the hour, a cyclic thing. In between, the above mentioned issues actually work fine.... it's as if BW is doing some kind of Batch every hour....... Whatever the issue is, please fix it asap........
  15. Here's what we have all of our new level 50's do in our guild....... Get the 2 new quests at the fleet... one takes you to Belsavis, the other to Ilum. These are fairly small quest chains that open up more daily quests than you have without them. Start said daily quests, I usually recommend starting on Belsavis. TRY to get into groups for the heroics. The heroics reward Purple Armorings, Mods, and Enhancements. Save up the daily comms, use them for Rakata Earpieces and/or Implants, OR a Campaign Relic. Use spare comms for armorings. mods, and enhancements. Do Black Hole dailies also. You get Daily comms, plus Black Hole comms. As for Flashpoints: If you haven't seen Lost Island or Kaon Under Siege in normal mode, both are worth seeing in normal mode first. Avoid groups for Lost Island at all costs, as it's tier 2, and 85% of the people who queue in to that place have no clue, it IS hard for the undergeared. Focus on Tier 1 FP's........ Go to any Tier 1 Hard Mode, they're all about the same with the exception of the 2 mentioned above..... Kaon isn't hard, it is Tier 1, but still worth a blow-through in normal mode..... You'll get Purple non-tier gear, which are good upgrades, and the end boss drops a Columi piece.....You can use a website to list what piece drops off which bosses......I use Dulfy.net That's about it... well, not really, but should give you a good kick in the azz.....
  16. Here we go again....... Ran a HM FP using the LFG tool. Again, got all quests for all FP's, cleaned up the quest log, zoned in, ran and completed the FP, got the Columi reward, no BH comms..... made a ticket... this was 3 days ago. ALL options in the LFG tool were checked.... I'm not going to keep doing these FP's if Bioware can't keep up with the restoration of the comms.......
  17. I don't get this, ideas like these..... these two guys sold out: period. They saw the $$ and here we are...... I wouldn't touch anything they do with a 10 foot pole ......
  18. I just ran a LFG HM FP... we got the travel now, we did, ran Esselles, finished.. . First issue: we got ALL quests for ALL Flashpoints.. which caused a minor mess.... After finishing the FP, we did NOT get our 5 BH comms.. we DID get the Columi reward, but not the BH comms... After zoning out, all FP quests repopped, with a travel now option popping multiple times...... This happened to all 4 of our group, and we did all 4 submit tickets.....
  19. You may want to check out this thread ..... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=515052
  20. OMG please back away from the computer... quickly...... Before you do, though, have a read : http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/bioware-mmo-project/1225612p1.html Then understand... or not....
  21. It DIDN'T have to F2P ... did it .... At the onset of this game, it was a known it was going to be a monthly sub. Early conjecture allowed us to believe it was going to be competitive with WoW's sub, so, most of us in Beta figured $15.00/month..... More here: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/bioware-mmo-project/1225612p1.html So, anyone who shelled out $60 or more for the game, and is now whining for F2P, well, just go get lost, for lack of more terse directions...... The game didn't need to go F2P, at any time, until Bioware sold out to EA...... If the game had developers who knew MMO's, we'd not be here. The LEAD guy obviously has no clue, and can't even make his own forum posts. If the game had delivered the features that were ripped out during Beta, had the game not been rushed out prematurely for the money grab, we'd not be here. Had ranked warzones been delivered on time, we'd not be here. Had PVP balance been more tweaked from the onset, instead of massive imbalances brought about by their 'internal testing' (I wonder what body area this 'internal testing' occurred ) and Beta testers that no one listened to. And, I'll wager their 'Internal Testing' happens on their local LAN connection, rather than from an outside connection.......to simulate ... well, outside connections, where the PAYING players would connect from? Anyone wanna guess how many bugs do NOT get caught due to testing over a LAN connection to the server? Had the Customer Service been at least adequate, we'd not be here. Had the designer of the latest fashions been fired on the spot, and his craptastic armor designs scrapped immediately, we'd not be here. Had the dev team worked on fixing bugs in end game content sooner, we'd not be here. Master loot bugs, Soa's floor pieces missing, I can go on....... Had augments not made crafting obsolete, we'd not be here. Had the LFG tool been available MUCH earlier, if not at launch, not been riddled with bugs, especially with finding replacement players, we'd not be here. Had the graphics been optimized initially, instead of still being sub par, we'd not be here. Who launches a game with no AA? I can't even whisper a guild member from my guild tab.... I mean... REALLY? I have to type out a guildies name, or keep ALL guildies on my friends list ...??? REALLY ???? No, we're here because for no other reason, other than complete and total FAIL at MMO comprehension and production. This game has/had so much potential, it makes me sick. I will tell you one thing: I will not touch a game produced by BW, EA, or any former lead from this dev team, regardless of what company they're working for next year. The current lead hasn't touched code since 16 bit ......I'm sure the role of salesman is satisfactory.........this includes those who are bailing before F2P in order to appear 'clean' of this fiasco......... I'm at this time still paying my sub, as I'm GM of a fairly progressive guild. I will watch and wait, and see... But all of this crappola was unnecessary. Calling it an MMO now is insulting to the Genre. The doctors should hang their head in shame, and BW/EA should NEVER be entrusted with another valuable IP ever again. 'Well, F2P is becoming the industry standard......' Heh... WoW was the big boy on the block. Other players in the field wanted a piece of the action. Games were made, but didn't compare.... the F2P model was pursued more rigorously, in order to attempt another piece of the pie.... . Free appeals to people, no doubt about it. So, what we end up with, is WoW as P2P, mostly the rest using F2P in order to get YOU wanting that new fluffy pair of pink bedroom slippers that you'll wear while standing around town. So, now we have 'industry experts' decrying how F2P is the future of gaming .. having the gall to mention Social Media Apps in the same sentence....... WoW vs. Swtor vs. Farmville? REALLY ...??? It's the CURRENT trend, as long as the industry attempts to rip whatever they can from WoW, rather than create their own unique game. And they try to do so at any cost......... In a year, maybe two, the saturation of F2P crap games will allow a new window for P2P.......where a company, and their DEV team, set out to make something full featured, optimized, unique, and where the DEV team actually is in charge, rather than SIM playing CEO's who have no real clue about the gaming industry........and MMO's in particular........
  22. No, since Beta ... They have bigger, more important 'leaks' to fix now .....
  23. Here's more on this ..... http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/bioware-mmo-project/1225612p1.html
