YES! Thank you BioWare and all of the SWTOR Team! Keep up the great work and new podcast coming!

The reason to why flying mounts might not be added to the game, i'm sure a lot of you guys know when you are in capital city's that the far off distance buildings are nothing more then a backdrop, yes a lot of it are content you can go to but a lot of it is just for looks to give it that feel of vastness. So these types of things would break the game if flying mounts where added.

This was exactly there reason to adding the advanced class icons above players heads. I see no issues with this feature once so ever.

If you must know my histy of MMOs it goes as followed. Tibia, Ultima Online, Ragnarok, EverQuest, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, Rift, SWTOR, Tera With a lot of random games in between. Betas as of this year: WoW: MoP, TERA, D3, FireFall Its natural to insult those who prove you wrong i guess? You are the only one in this thread who believes for what ever reason that these advanced class icons serve an advantage, which i will point out again an advantage that everyone gets, thus making it no real advantage over anyone else.

I guess you fail to see the reason. If this is your first MMO then i would understand why you are a bit confused to why BioWare has put in these Advanced Class Icons. Its only purpose is to help those identify faster without having to mouse over them, this information is in the game right now, the only difference with 1.2 you can see this information above ones head without having to do a mouse over. You say there is a small advantage in having this information displayed above ones head. To whoms advantage is it? When this feature is opened to everyone this cannot be stated as an advantage as everyone has access to this information. For someone to have an advantage they would have to have something that others do not have access to. With the Advanced Class Icons being giving to every single player in SWTOR this cannot be stated as an advantage as everyone has this information.

Let me clear it up then, it all comes down to skills, not going 'HEY! I see a Sorcerer!!!' These icons will not give people uber pvp skills.... There really is no effect on having these icons once so ever. These icons does not tell the other players that they have 'x' skill, and in order to counter 'x' skill, you must use 'y' skill. It takes more knowledge to successfully PvP then just seeing Icons above peoples heads. And my first reply did not state anywhere that these 'AC Icons' gave noobs uber pvp skills. It simply helps people know which AC people are. This information still does not provide an advantage in PvP. There is much more to being good at PvP then just knowing which advanced class people are. Your argument is pointless.

I wish there was a inventory for each of your companions, or maybe one active companion inventory. Much like the game Torchlight you would have a companion and it would have its own inventory. You would then put over items to have them sold, this allowing your companion to not only automatically selling only the low quality items but other items as well such as greens etc.. With the new legacy system this would be a great feature to add, maybe even have each companion have their very own inventory.

"Yes a good pvper can tell by the weapons ( not the gear with the new changes to mods and upgrading) but that still takes a time abit a small amount. " Not even sure what that means.. 'but that still takes a time abit a small amount.' Anyway back on topic. Having these 'class icons' above your head does not give an advantage or an unfair advantage. Knowing who is what class really doesn't change the tide of pvp combat. Give me a better argument to why this would cause issues because 'new' pvpers don't have to learn how to identify Advanced Classes. They now however have to learn the symbols. Look at other MMO's such as WoW, anyone who plays that game for an hour can easily tell who is what class. I like that BioWare is putting in options to help people have a better idea what advanced class people are.

I res'd my WoW account, it has almost been a year ago that i have quit the game. Brought my account back even got a free level 80 and well i played for about 10 mins and logged out. I started WoW about a week after BC came out so i played it for a long time. I loved the game and i still have a lot of respect for the game as its the longest played MMO i have played. But the graphics is what makes me turn away from WoW now. The game itself is solid even tho it spoon feeds every.

LFG and PvP que should be cross server in general not just 'low pop servers' if you add something to the game you cannot add it to some servers and not others. It has to be added to all servers or non at all. Sadly BioWare has stated they will not be supporting cross server Ques. I really hope they change their mind or start to merg servers cause they have way to many. This is what they should do. Server 'A' : 70% Imps / 30% Pubs Server 'B' 70% Pubs / 30% Imps If they merged server like that together they would fix the balance issues on most server that have more imps or pubs. Of course those percentages are just ideal figures and it would never be 50/50 on any server but at least they would be close enough to feel the balance.

I agree, 8 character slots is not enough. Besides what kinda family tree only has eight people in it?

After playing World of Warcraft for almost 6 years and only played SWTOR for less then 4 months I went ahead the other night and re installed World of Warcraft and boys let me tell you i logged out of WoW after about 30 mins... Even got a free level 80... I just couldn't handle the graphics.. Weird thing is i love WoW i just can't find my inner WoWer anymore, after playing SWTOR the graphics are just amazing along with the sound and animations effects are just amazing for an MMO.... I will play SWTOR and D3 on the side. I cannot get back into World of Warcraft. Looking forward to trying out TSW along with TL2 and GW2. However SWTOR will always be on the top of my MMO list while all the other MMOs i will play on the side and not take them as serious.

Very well said, i agree with you on ever point. Looks like its back to the you know what for me, been looking into MoP and i have to say its looking awesome. Like they say once you go _____ you never go back. I'm working on my 4th level 50..... :/

WoW has it, has it destroyed WoW? Should SWTOR Have it? With out a doubt it should as well as cross server Ops LFG along with the FP LFG. I have high hopes that it will be implemented sooner or later. Just that the sooner BioWare puts it in the more players they will end up keeping as well as bring in.

No! I would hate trailers being made with in game footage...... The whole point of a trailer is to see awesome stuff. Yeah i know that the content of the trailers are far from what the game looks like or can do... But i don't care... I only watch these trailers for the special effects and awesomeness not to come on the forums and cry why BioWare WHY! how come me game not look like your trailer huh?

Subs are fine, don't give out false information unless you have a link to a BioWare source. There are always going to be those haters who say 'x' game is going to break 'y' game. The thing is the game is 'Star Wars' the name alone is whats going to keep drawing people in and keeping people playing. Sure SWTOR might night hit 10 million players but who knows. Once all these new MMO features start rolling out and the stability and performance of the game gets better people will probably start coming in like crazy.

This is just a post about what i wish BioWare did when there is major changes to classes. If anyone here plays or has played League of Legends they know that when there are major changes to characters they not only post the patch notes about these changes but also do a little Path Preview Diary that explains why they made the changes. This gives the community a better understanding to why they made the changes and how the new changes will take effect in the game style of the said class. I'm not saying that BioWare should make a video explaining about every change they do, only the major changes like we see in 1.2. League of Legends is a free to play game so i can't see how BioWare couldn't find the time and or resources to make a quick 10 min video on their outlook and reasoning to said changes. This will also show that BioWare not only value us as customers but gamers alike. It will also give us all a better understanding to the design method for SWTOR.

Wait until 1.2 then you can unlock all the 'species' and use any of them for what ever class you want.

Just found this thread with a google search of "Day & Night Cycle in SWTOR" I wish they would have had this feature from the get go /cry

I cannot understand how they allow the whole armor recolor thing to slide, little along these designs to make it into 1.2 PTS or not. Talk about being lazy.... Every MMO takes these shortcuts it angers me so much. If i ran things i would tell my armor design team to come up with more then one type of armor design. Hire more artist or better yet hold a contest where the community can submit their art here and we the community judge which one looks the best and we want to see in game. Each month have a contest for a different class armor set.

I guess you misunderstood the point. SWTOR has released with better and tons more content then what wow did and has to this date. You can debate that all you want but i can think of only a few things SWTOR doesn't have that WoW does which is fishing, swimming, flying mounts, barber shop....hmm thats really all i can think of.... Plus most of these things will be added anyways in the future plus more things that WoW does not have currently. I think SWTOR is a much more quality game then WoW and as someone who played WoW for almost 6 of the 7 years it has been out i'm not just saying it to say it. SWTOR has many things WoW does not. Huge cities, some buildings can be almost the size of a city in WoW alone, your very own spaceship, companions and the ability to have them craft for you, different bag tab for quest items, better graphics, quality story with voice over acting, legacy system, social system, there are probably a lot of things i missed but you get the idea....

None taken, but i'm going to go ahead and take a wild guess that you like most others only read the first few reply's and did not really get involved in the thread. This was not a reply to the OP but to the many comments within this thread.

Let me give you all a little History lesson. World of Warcraft Launched November 23, 2004 Which makes World of Warcraft exactly 7 years, 3 months, 23 days old to this date. 7 years, 3 months, 23 days can be converted to one of these units: 2672 days 230,860,800 seconds 3,847,680 minutes 64,128 hours 381 weeks (rounded down) Star Wars: The Old Republic Launched December 20, 2011 Which makes SWTOR 2 months, 27 days old to this date. 2 months, 27 days can be converted to one of these units: 89 days 7,689,600 seconds 128,160 minutes 2136 hours 12 weeks (rounded down) WoW is exactly 2583 days older then SWTOR. I'm not even going to convert that into any other unit as you can do the math with the numbers above if you so wish to do so. Lets not compare SWTOR to what WoW is right now, rather compare the two on their opening day. I played WoW for almost 6 of the 7 years it has been out. I loved the game but wanted to move to something new. I'm a big time Star Wars fan so this game fills my MMO itch. Sure SWTOR has its flaws but i can say without a doubt SWTOR has more content then WoW did on launch and that is an understatement....

I have played more warzone matches then i care to count. I have yet to get disconnected from the game. With that said anything internet related is rarely BioWares fault. Check with your ISP to see what the problem is. Reset your Modem/Router.
