Hello! I recently decided to rejoin the SWTOR fold since I didn't play KOTFE or KOTEE. I first boosted to 65 and started tutorial mode. I got about half of my abilities back before I realized there was a pretty rich backstory I missed out on. So I bought another Outlander Token, deleted my character because I really liked the name and wanted to reuse it, and then created a new character with the same name at level 60 to start KOTFE. When I started, I disabled Tutorial mode, but I only received the skills of my incomplete level 65 character. I basically have no CC right now and am missing some other very nice to have skills. I also can only play the expansions on Story Mode because Veteran is impossible without these skills. I submitted a ticket in-game 4 days ago and have not heard a response. HELP!

Apparently this is something happening across multiple servers? ETA on downtime? -Bastion server

Hello BioWare/Readers! Long time subscriber here. My suggestion is to show the guilds some love! I think it would be awesome to see Guilds levels and perks, guild housing (maybe a guild star ship with PvP/PvE terminals?), maybe even guild armor/mounts, and definitely guild achievements! Its hard to keep players committed a guild when there are no special benefits differentiating one guild from the next. Hope to see this happen

Stopped reading at taunts have limited use in PvP. That statement is ridiculous.

Absolutely support it. There is a large market of hipster gamers that own a Mac that would certainly give it a shot since its F2P.

Make it cost one or two more Rage/Focus? It will still hit like a truck, but will not be out of control in PvP

Not sure which position you sold then. EA's ticker has always been EA.

You bring up great points, but don't discount Quarterly Earnings reports, and EA's forecasts that were largely based around SWTOR. These are numbers that don't lie. Click on the 6Month Chart - trading down nearly 50% Article: EA beats Sales target, 'Star Wars' takes hit Numbers don't lie. Roll on the Fatman server and take notice how many <50 characters there are, mainly because most of the SWTOR servers are dead and people had to reroll to even play the game. Once servers are merged and populations...exist... again, then I would imagine you would see the bleeding of subscriptions slow down, or maybe even rise a little. But the damage has been done. Cost cutting (aka layoffs) are now taking over to keep this game afloat on the development side. It's good that ToR still has 1million active users - that's higher than most games. Let's just hope this handicapped development team can right the ship, and we can all convince our friends to come back.

FWIW, They've lost a ton in market cap Click on the 6Month chart, see for yourself

I rerolled on Fatman last night. Great decision. Each fleet has 200+ people on it.

A tribute to Mel Brooks's Jews in Space?

Then you apparently are in the minority. If you were on the forums at the end of last week to the beginning of this week, you would know why they made these changes. If you weren't, I'll go ahead and clue you in - everyone hated getting nothing for a loss, and rage quit the round, guaranteeing their team a loss.

Anyone know if this stuff will make it into the patch tomorrow?

Agreed with this guy. Our server was a Heavy population server, with a very big PvP population. Since PvP has steadily gotten worse and worse, the server is dwindling. Guilds went from 50-100 people to 10ish in about one month. It was really noticeable at the beginning of February, but now it just seems empty.

Yeah, video games work like that. People want to enjoy them. They participate when the carrot is hanging in front of them - not when the rod is whipping them. I don't blame people at all for leaving a warzone. You're going to spend 15-20 minutes of your time to get what? 25 commendations? Waste of time.

Is it possible to twink? One way or another, you're going to hit 50. You can't jump off a cliff and stay 49. Why twink anyways? It's painfully easy to get Champion gear, and only slightly more challenging to get Battlemaster gear (RNG blows).

+1 Incredible idea

I agree with this 100%. Tank sin doesn't REALLY need nerfing anyways. They're still killable, and their damage output is only worthwhile if they're hybrid spec with Madness/Balance. Maybe just put Death Field/Force in Balance in a higher tier?

This.

I went something like 0 for 40, and then all of a sudden they started dropping in almost every bag.

Buffing Deception/Infiltration.... :D:D

Out of 50ish bags, probably 9. 7 of those came after the 1.1.5 patch, and I stopped playing this toon for a couple weeks in between 1.1.5 and when I first hit BM

Really interested to hear what people are doing about BM gear as Deception spec. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with!

I would have to agree with this. I'm 2 comms in 34 bags now. That's a 5.88% success rate (note: I said success rate, not probability. I know what probability is, spare the lecture). The only reason I didn't unsubscribe this week was because of the announcement made in the Q&A last Friday that gear progression will be normalized as the bag system is going bye bye.

This. Why leave if you're going to be rewarded, even if you lose?
