That’s just not true, ESO was crap for years after release - it didn’t start picking until Morrowind when they started putting real effort into the new content. KOTFE and KOTET while entertaining, were an exercise in misunderstanding how MMO’s work, they need multiplayer elements it is a non-negotiable requirement. To release 2 entirely single player expansions to a purely multiplayer game was stupid. All it needs is the right content and it will thrive, with the right content more players, more subs, more money, quicker fixes for all the bugs, bigger team etc etc. One thing is guaranteed minimum effort = minimum reward. This game deserves better than it has got in recent years.

The code being screwed here is pure speculation on behalf of the community. Adding a high res texture pack isn’t an engine limitation.

Yeah points for losses absolutely need to be added back for unranked. Maybe I’m crazy and confusing the game with WoW but I’m sure last time I played this you got 1 point for losses and 2 for wins. I played 6 or 7 matches last night and had 1 win, and usually when you lose its a total curb stomp these aren’t close matches.

It would work the same as WoW, turn the settings down. The baseline won’t change, I’m not suggesting rip the whole game apart that is obviously not going to happen. But updates to lighting, shadows, 4K textures etc. All possible and all can be turned on or off.

Agreed, lets keep it this way for a while. Jadus isn’t a believable enemy, he would be far too weak compared to PCs given we can beat Vitiate (which I think is a mistake). And I absolutely don’t support him showing up randomly with an army of ships and troops again out of nowhere, been there done that and again its not believable. Bring him back as someone who dethrones Acina/Vowrawn absolutely that will also fix the sith leader which I think is an improvement. Meanwhile the republic story is focussed around electing a new chancellor and rebuilding the Jedi order.

Agreed lets keep this thread alive. Surely we can hear something, does BioWare even read the forum anymore?

Yeah I doubt this is the case. There are 4K texture packs made by the community for KOTOR 1 + 2. I don’t think texture resolution is restricted by the engine, its restricted by EA’s lazy policy.

Ideally they would go back to the old days. Every expac adds a suite of new FPS and 4 raids release over the course of the year. Instead right now they’ve just thrown the towel in and put all the effort into cosmetic sets. Don’t get me wrong some of those sets are great but when you pay to sub and 95% of the new content is additional cosmetics that cost over and above the sub, it’s just starting to feel like a piss take. More content = more players. Failing all of that, and I have no faith the above will ever happen while EA is in anyway connected to this game. Scale the content for the current level, this should have been done on 6.0 launch day, you obviously knew you wouldn’t be adding much content. Right now its really counter productive because getting a group for Dxun is very very few and far between and almost every time objective meridian pops everyone quits. All that happens is the same ****, people endlessly spamming EV/KP/HS, I completed these raids and this FP on HM/NiM in many many years ago its time for something new BioWare.

No offense but if you have a 15 yr old PC that's your problem... New games aren't constantly released for PS2's and PS3s because people can't afford a PS4. I don't know why you would expect any different from the PC market. The world will move on, move with it or get left behind . Also, a graphics upgrade wouldn't hurt you either. Look at WoW they do graphics updates all the time, doesn't hurt the bottom end.

Wondering if anyone knows of any cool ways to give my toon more of a Je'daii theme? Currently I've got the ancient je'daii set, force imbued sword, follower of the old ways legacy title, and can't really pick a character title, mostly using master of hidden knowledge. Don't know much about the lore of je'daii I assume they had speeders?

Oh I know what the agenda was, make gearing into more a of grind, forcing people to need multiple characters to properly gear one. It's an attempt to make people play and grind more but it is an extremely lazy way of doing it and frankly I am very confidently assuming that the constant turn towards more and more mindless grinding is going end up causing more people to leave than it is to play. The reason I want Eric to answer is I want them to admit they did something purely to make people grind and try to lazily make the game "longer". Of course they wont say that and so wont answer me I'm not surprised, just trying to make a point.

Hi Eric, Would you be able to explain the rationale of this intended change, I'm struggling to imagine how anyone thought this change could benefit the player base?

So this is easy to fix go back to how the game used to be - 1. Give pvpers PvP gear so they don't have to do pve content to play PvP. 2. 236 story ops, 242 HM/SM gftm ops, 248 NiM/HM gftm ops, 258 gftm NiM only. 3. Ditch this stupid galactic command nonsense. All fixed. In th old days not every player ran around in full nightmare mode gear, in fact very few did, there is nothing wrong with that. The only content that requires NiM gear is NiM ops therefore if you aren't doing NiM ops or cannot do NiM ops then you do not need NiM ops gear.

Yep since the announcement, 2008. Pre-ordered the day it became available and took part in a number of closed and open beta tests, some of which were paid .

The real problem is credit sellers, the best fix is for bioware to make every item purchasable on the GTN. They would completely kill the credit selling market if everything you could get from credit sellers you could get from bioware for the same money it would correct itself within a few months.

Cool thanks guys, those b mods are actually going to be the toughest part I think

I don't really have many issues with aggro or survival I would just like to make sure what I'm doing is the most effective way especially when it comes to augs because they are so expensive. By the sounds of it I'm not to far away from what you're suggesting except I think I have the high Def enhance my augs are a mix of shield/absorb 45's.

So I've been trying to find bis stats for a jugg pve tank these days in 5.7 and I have had no luck at all. Wondering if anyone here can shed some light on the issue? I don't want to buy a load of expensive augs for the wrong stats .

They exist two of the most fun FP's but they very rarely show up in GF. All those noobs filtering hammer station because they can't do anything else .

Agreed would be nice to see someone address this.... Problem is the game is dying because they are killing it, lack of investment/development. Back in the Dread Masters arc, were getting entire raids at the same rate we are now getting 1 boss. They should be developing more galaxy wide story arcs that involve raids and etc.

Agree with everything said here, been here since the very beginning of testing and would be very sad to this game go, it has been my go to game for years and my favourite mmo to date. I would really hate to this game get shafted for the sake of what will be a Destiny rip off and another generic shooter that will fail the same way that Destiny did.

They took the biggest hero in the SW universe and utterly wrecked his character. He was changed beyond recognition, he did things totally outside of his character, he was weak, a coward and foolish. That categorically is not Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker is Anakin's full potential realized and the most powerful force user to ever live, not the joke we see in TLJ. To decimate the story of Star Wars in the way they did was just wrong. I'm also still waiting for an explanation of Snoke are we supposed to be believe no one noticed this tremendously powerful user for the past 80 years (who by the way can't see out of his right eye apparently)? Full of plot holes, horrendous decisions and quite possibly is the beginning of the end for star wars.

I play both and can honestly say I notice no difference at all =/.

Would be nice if BW would just put the size of the patch in the patch notes. Every single patch since launch someone asks what the patch size is, like surely it isn't that hard to notice? And it's definitely bigger than 100mb I just downloaded around 1/4 of it for about 220mb so it likely is around 1GB.
