1.2 was exactly what you initally said it was, a patch. Everything you say that follows about it goes no where. Actually what is needed is a massive content Expansion. Though I am pretty sure thats not going to happen.

When they merge servers, if I am required to change any of my character names, I am ok with it provided I am given 2 extra character slots free.

To GROUP with friends, to meet new ones, to have fun with, you know, other people!?

I use the orange gear too. And while I love the orange gear, I am beginning to think its part of the problem with crafting. But I wasn't strictly speaking of orange gear, I was looking at the other gear. It it serves no purpose BECAUSE you are in orange gear, why include it at all? I am speaking of creating content that has no function because the path of least resistance is littered with reasons not to bother with other routes.

Just a question. Why do you play MMOs?

The problem is complex. It is some of the get to max level mentality. But it is also by the larger margin BioWare/EA's fault. Creating a game with content that people pass thru in seconds at lower levels, minutes at mid levels and hours at high levels means people never see the content or use it up so quickly there is no need to see it all. Case in point, commendations. By time you have obtained enough, you have outleveled the gear/ mods you can get with them. Frankly, the commendations given on a given planet should be for the next planet, but I digress. Next, there is literally nothing to do beyond quest. There are no "shinies" as there are in other games that say to you "oh hey whats that". Such as collection quests that require you to assemble various items. The closest to this is the datacrons, yet there is no quest here that ties them together, such a wasted opportunity. Finally, but not last as there are always things to improve or add; The economy is borked. A minor improvement would be to increase listing time to 2 weeks vs. 2 days. (This is surely a database issue for Bioware, but really it needs to be done.) Gear needs to break, this includes current crafted, raid, pvp, etc. There needs to be a reason for crafting to exist or just get rid of it.

Ok. First pvp needs consequences. For there to be reward there needs to be risk. In this I ask you to consider kill looting with a 10% chance of a damaged piece of gear drop, 30% chance of a mod or 2, 30% chance of quality materials dropping and a 50% of basic materials ,dropping. When you kill someone, they go home naked. No more zerging, unless they have endless sets of gear. Remove expertise, you can keep pvp gear make it cheaper so if someone is crazy enough to use it consistently then good for them. It makes crafters happy, it makes the economy happy, it makes the victors happy (loot). It should make you happy too, as it creates a credit sink. Don't worry about RMT, that is the least concern right now. Now you need a reason. Take the planets you have. Color each sector based on who controls it. Control 60% or so of a planets sectors you control the planet and the buff it provides. Have buffs to chance for crit on slicing on one planet (its specialty), have buffs to heals on another, etc. As long as your faction controls that planet you get the buff. How do you control a sector? This could occur in a variety of ways. And it should occur in a variety. One way could be simply presence. If you have more peeps in a sector than the other you control it. If you do more quests (dailys) in a sector than the other faction you control it. If you touch all the pylons in a sector or control the majority thru a touch in the sector you control it (timer on these so they cant be flipped all the time). Lots of other ways too, but too numerous to list here. You want more? because I am full of ideas. Send me a PM

1. Make crafted gear worth having. 2. Extend number of items you can list. 3. Extend time listed to 2 weeks. 4. Make gear not only damageable, but destroyable. Including raid. pvp, pve gear.

What it boils down to, is that Sorc/Sage are special. What makes Ops/Smugglers special?

Why is this thread being posted in? IT is a dead issue.

Orange sometimes (the higher base level it is), have armor stat without having mods.

No matter what they do, they can't undo what they have done...

BH if you want to have fun in pvp. IA if you want an interesting story.

Its where they will put the cancel subscription button.

Anyone having an issue with the puzzle spontaneously starting?

some abilities generate healing, plus abundant use of heal paks.

Pandering to the community. Smells of desperation. Though, some of those changes, SOME, are good.

Very poor planning on BW's part. Perhaps they should have hired me to set up the economy, crafting, and the itemization, etc. PM me BW if there are any job openings. I will take the job.

... And no. Its not about complaining, its about fixing crap to work and not breaking it in a new way when you fix it.

The new GCD is crap. Fixing it by breaking it visually is not a good solution. Can't tell what is recharging and what is not. Plus everything recharges when i click stealth yet everything should still be available, no? No need to get fancy with it BW, just black out unusable ones, no need for a recharge line running thru each icon. Just make it work, and visually readable.

As long as I have the option to leave with no consequences, I WILL. Why? Its not my fault BioWHERE?!? can't create interesting, fun, balanced and fair pvp in open world and warzones. No roll back on ilum should have told you that. So, if the group is winning Ill try, if its not, cya.

Please! What a bunch of lame excuses for the real reason.

Or you could just instance it like warzones... Sigh.. Its supposed to be open world pvp, there are better balances than caps.

I randomly crash to desktop. Yesterday was fine, now its back to crashing every 20 minutes or so.

Knew it would be bad, real bad. But not this bad. Make me sad.................
