[Anybody else use cat bro, Aric Jorgan, as a companion just because... ?]

Nope, I usually use the ones I became invested in somehow either through the story or I just liked their character, As an aside Gus never sees the light of day.

I do wish you could hide some on the list and maybe up the max amount that can be sent on tasks

 

Are you kidding? Gus is the best Smuggling Jedi in the Galaxy!!! Love that guy!

[Changes and New Features in 7.0]

Did Bioware hire some ex SOE developers recently?

 

Also... GIVE ME MY COVER BAR!!!

[Please bring back the GS/Sniper Cover Bar]

amen! i have nearly 25-30 buttons bound. The coverbar helped me put cover only abilities where they belong and only showed when I was in cover. Now I have to either get rid of other skill bound to buttons or try playing without cover only abilities.

[Take Cover Change with action bars?]

You know, at game launch I was against “cover only” abilities. Then I seen how the cover bar helped alleviate that pain. 10yrs later you take it away?

 

I NEED MY COVER BAR!

[Changes and New Features in 7.0]

Where’s my cover bar?!?!?

[Take Cover Change with action bars?]

I NEED MY COVERBAR!!!

 

I already have more keybinds than any mmo I’ve ever played. Now I have to bind more for when I’m in cover?!?!?

[Legacy of the Sith World Premiere Trailer]

maybe it's already been said in this thread... am I wrong, or was that a different voice actor for Malgus? I just couldn't get past it. In this trailer, he just didn't seem menacing enough. It just didn't feel right.

[Thanks for needlessly FUBARing Quickbars 5 and 6]

Noooo! Why? I use all my bars and not everything is a combat ability

[I'm Confused, What is the ACTUAL purpose of Combat Styles??]

I think I might get 3-6 mths more play by doing class stories with different combat styles. But after that, guess it’s back to GW2.

[The anti-alt focus of 7.0 is not doing the game any favors]

Ha. Totes. I sometimes forget to equip my gear when swapping gear between alts and do base heroics with only a weapon equipped

 

Gear litterally doesn't matter in heroics other than speeds things up a bit

 

I love Alts. And I’ll play some more now due to being able to, for example, play smuggler with a cannon. But after the origin story is complete, there isn’t much incentive to play more. Cause if the new stories are as bad as eternal throne, I’ll play once and then not care anymore.

[Makeb "Consulting the Expert" problem - 2015 Edition]

2021 and this bug is still around. Thank you for posting that link. Deleting that file and restarting game fixed my issue.

[7.0 putting out Fear not Hope.]

Is everyone here from Hoth? All the snowflakes are a little much.

[New Content Next Month]

Unfortunately, it looks as if I'll have to get my PvP fix in other games. And just move to F2P here for the occasional PvE fix. I realize content in MMO's comes at a snails pace. It seems to have always been that way. But Bioware is beginning to remind me of SOE in the way they too became quiet and seemingly disregarding the playerbase. Then suddenly they sprung the NGE. And after that died down and the ashes settled... new content was another year or more away. So, to me, it looks like now that Bioware has sprung the F2P on us, 2-4mths when that dies down... new content will be here in 2014. I think 2014 will be the year of Swtor!

[New Content Next Month]

How long are we going to be waiting for the warzone? Is it going to be a couple of weeks after or is it just gonna be like ranked warzones and we will have to wait 2+ months for it?

 

Sounds to me in order to go ahead with your promise of content every 6 weeks your just splitting it up in order to fufill that idea.

 

Basically, next month, over 2 months since last major update, we'll get a small piece (not the huge update they said 1.4 would be. Then a month later, we'll get the 1 new warzone map. Then 6 months down the line, we may get another warzone map. By the year 2014, we should have 5 or 6 working warzones.

[I Got A Message From Eric Musco??]

Sure it wasn't a phishing attempt?

 

(I kid, or do I .... *Craig Ferguson voice*)

 

At least someone attempted to communicate with you from the Community Team.

 

 

Great Ferguson impersonation

 

As for this thread... I've always kept a small guild. So, my input doesn't really matter. Only the bigger guilds are the ones devs worry about.

[Is EA counting on people like this?]

You've ignored the time variable. How often do new packages come out? If those 5 packages are all that is available for 4 months, then the price is the same.

 

Exactly.

 

Do not think of it as $15 vs $50. With the "imaginary" packages that you came up with in your scenario's, played by an average player, all of that content would take months to go through. With the scenario in the original post, think of it as 1 content package for a casual player will take at least a month to do it all, generally speaking. So in that case, the "friend" would have spent $10 for 1 content package to play for a month, whereas subbers paid $15 for one month.

 

Most subbers also sub for more months at a time consecutively. As a F2P online shop content buyer, then you pay $10 for that content and maybe play 2 or 3 months before buying more. It's all a matter of what type of player are you and how much will you play monthly.

[Paying for HK]

Never that. The agent story is so BAD that I still shudder when I think about it. I will never level another agent.

Weird. The common consensus is that the Agent story is the best in the game.

Smuggler is best. Agent = Zzzz

 

 

As for the Companion... what for? After reaching level 50, our companions just sit there waiting to be sent out to gather resources. A new companion would be worthless right now... unless they add the ability for Companion FP's & WZ's.

[No one will buy cash shop armors]

Hope they throw in some KOTOR 1 style robes.

To each their own I guess. I think those are fugly.

[No one will buy cash shop armors]

I'll buy any armor or weapon for a look that I like. I did it in STO, I'll do it here. I've switched the same mods from different pieces multiple times to change looks in game already. You really think buying a new look with $ or Cartel Coins would stop me?

[How many of you are staying when GW2 launches?]

I'd play Swtor over GW2 any day. Blaster > Bow

[Blah blah blah - Will be available... In the cash shop]

If you'd ever played a F2P MMORPG with a cashshop you would.

 

That's not to say it will be an utter nightmare, but even the best F2P/cashshop models differ from prior subscription models in game changing ways.

 

I've played F2P MMORPG's with cashshops. And I did not have an issue with it. So far, I do not have an issue with this one either.

[[story wise] imperial Agent or Smuggler]

Smuggler all the way.

[ugly armors lol]

I was just browsing over screenshots of different moddable crafted armors. Armormech for republic sucks for style compared to empire armormech. synthweaving seems, to me, could go both ways, but leans more towards empire being the better choice for style.

 

And once again, the devs proved that they favored Empire more

[ugly armors lol]

The great majority of all moddable shells, for all types, are not that good. Most of my characters are going with social armor mixed with other pieces instead. And even social armors need more options.

[Character Consolidation ..How many are unsubing becouse there is no news yet?]

I'm good with everything right now. I have a couple of characters on my origin server still. We'll see what happens with them soon enough. As for the F2P coming, I'm all for it. I'll be staying as a subscriber though. And I'll probably even pay for some fluff stuff in the online store. I'm content still.
