Why not add a LFG tool and those that don't like it could, you know, exercise their decision not to?

Those sound like client-side since the majority of players aren't experiencing this.

I agree.

Why should their corporate interests over-ride my ability to enjoy the game? Everyone rolls need and class gear is very, very similar, regardless of advanced class. The differences in gear for Operative and Sniper are slightly higher endurance or cunning--but the differences are negligible and either advanced class can already have a spec that uses one or the other more. Truth is that the gear isn't that different for advanced classes--because they're in the same class. Would you rather have players who were never very good at the class leave the game (hurting the finances in your first point) because they don't want to replay the same story for dozens of hours? How is my choice affecting your meaning? Ultimately, if you feel this way, have the courage to not hit the respec option. I will enjoy my increased choices, thank you very much. I should not have to sacrifice my gameplay so that you can feel safer with meaning.

I don't see how locking this provides meaning. Think of it like a convertible: I can switch to the occasion hat suits me but the main class is more or less the same. I don't see the meaning being lost in drive a convertible.

I give them an A- There are a few bugs (i.e. stuck in combat, lipsyncing not triggering, alien voice acting pausing after each line) but only one of those is a game break (but it can be remedied by dying). The long queues are to maintain server stability. I imagine many of those complaining would hate to be 3/4 of the way through an instance only to have it crash due to server overload. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't. That said, the game is immensely enjoyable as an Imperial Agent--now if only I could get a advanced class change.

The answer is obvious: the servers ar ecapped to ensure those who are enjoy a good experience and to preserve server stability. These answers were so obvious that you recognized them in your post. Would you like Bioware spending their time answering the obvious?

Advanced class has ZERO impact on story--as well as ZERO impact on Light/Dark affiliation. I can't think of a single reason why Advanced Class switching can't be added. We're not talking about the difference between Hunter and Paladin. Most advanced classes share a considerable number of skills and base mechanics to gameplay. If you think they're different enough to use such a comparison, you should really look at the powers list for the advanced classes within the same class. Also, since when did Bounty Hunters use cover??

Is there any chance of seeing this added to the game? As far as I know, there are no story differences between advanced classes--so there's no reason to prohibit it.

Hi! You live on a globe--parts of that globe are later in the day. This is how timezones work. Some regions, in order to get the global launch of the game to arrive on time, ship eariler than others. Intermediary countries where these titles pass through might get it earlier. This is done to ensure everyone in Bratislava, Slovakia gets access the same day as you. Don't bring your conspiracy theories and anti-European bigotry into this thread.

I'm going to assume you're not including the Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty in this?

What do you mean 'they'? Your true intentions are revealed. Not all Russian speakers are spammers--stereotyping an entire group of people and then marginalizing legitimate uses is absurd.

No, it won't. There will still be issues with some people getting access before others--even with the dates.

Most MMOs with multi-language support manage to be fine. Since the game lacks Russian Localization, the players will still use English for finding groups but be able to converse amongst each other in Russian.

You're projecting your anger at not being in-game right now. Step away from the computer, relax, and have fun!

The numbers are just speculation but the information concerning sales is correct--and using that knowledge (i.e. the largest sales spikes) is useful for some.

I'm willing to go Billy Mays for this game--if I get in today.

Actually, the team is incredibly experience. Mythic was incorporated into Bioware by EA (who owned both). To say that the team lacks experience or is somehow new is very misleading.

20 of November is fine for you? Wow, that's stamina--waiting till next year and all.

WTB [Early Access] PST

I played a Bounty Hunter during Beta. I found it underwhelming in terms of actual gameplay. Any suggestions on what classes I should play?

8 am cst is: 9 am EST 7 am MST 6 am PST

No bitter complaints on my part. I think most of the complaints stem from people really wanting to play the game. So, try and go easy--everyone is wishing they were in-game right now. With that said, have many of the audio glitches been fixed for those who played? I remember playing my first flashpoint as a Bounty Hunter but the lipsyncing didn't work and neither did the sound.

Let's hear it for the Cascades!

It's too bad there isn't full unicode support in STO afaik. Cyrillic characters would be useful to many parts of the world.
