Well...this isn't eve online where the engine is constantly updated But yeah...stop dreaming...best you can hope is tweaks here and there to current engine...but not whole new one

Loosen up restriction on credit cap...any other mmo limit how much money you have to use?

So instance 1 and 2 can talk in general chat together? I was told otherwise, maybe i misunderstood

First of all i hate fleet, i hate that fact were forced there. But being as how that wont change anytime soon, here is my other proposal. Now with the server mergers....yes thats what they are....servers are getting jam packed with people. Great! No complains there! But....now we go back to what BW is good at....alienating us again. The fleet on Prophecy 5 is hitting 300 people....showing no lag, no low fps...awesome. But theres another instance of the fleet at 130 people. BW....please use what resources you got and allow your fleets to be able to hold many more people per instance.....in fact have no instance. If anything allow each instance to be able to talk to each other. Hate the fact that were being split apart within our own server, beef that hardware up and allow it to hold much more, 500 at least if thats about where the peak is gonna be at which it looks like it might, its already about 450 total and im sure theres more coming

No way, this game needs alot more updates. Im happily in GW2 now, in its beta, and it offers sooooo many more basic features that an mmo should have, and its beta...oh and its free. SWTOR needs: A real world PvP system - not just battleground arenas, and incentives to do it Optional sandbox elements to break the boring mod of arena/fp/ops grind Make the casinos functional Make mini-games Pod Racing More customizations to ship/character/companions A functional Light/Neutral/Dark system that is actually worth something Endgame gear that actually looks good enough that people WANT to get it Space overhaul Get us off fleets! - Were sick of those damn stations, get us off and dont force us in those places! ALOT more guild features/incentives/rewards/goals/tools/achievements Make worldbosses worthwhile to kill, like actually good loot, that you actually drool and want to get! Make achievement awards unique, instead reskinning the same speeders we already have.....boooooring. Make endgame loot alot better, and dont be lazy and have different tiers share the EXACT same set bonuses! And of course fix dead servers - well see how it goes after tuesday Get those features in and you might start getting people back

Thank god your not working for Bioware

Guild Wars 2 will have this at launch And it goes both ways too, down-level and up-level, to any zone, at any time you want....so you NEVER are forced to not play with your friends no matter their current level.

Dont forget Earth and Beyond, and Warhammer. But ya i purchased 6 month sub, got the CE, got 5 RL friends to come along. But 2 of my friends unsubbed before 1.2. Then another after 1.2. And now just me and 2 others and were pretty much done. I unsubbed last week, my sub runs out mid-august. I will not be subbing again. I have no confidence in the devs or EA in getting this game out of its rust in any meaningful time frame. It lacks so many things its just not going to cut it anymore. Were all now focused on Guild Wars 2. It already seems its packing A L O T more basic MMO features and vastly, beyond vastly PvP system, and many features that drive home building a solid community, as well as a much more robust crafting system and endgame incentives to keep playing. And yes they have server transfers at launch...oh and its free to play and they managed to put in 60 feature films worth of voice work too. Shame on you BW...so sad. Goodluck to BW and all who stick around. I wish it didnt come to this, i didnt think that SWTOR would become a placeholder for something that might be much better, but it has come to this.

Ah i missed that one...it shutdown within 2 months i believe! lol EA

If i had to estimate the amount of content they release per update and the timeframe i will estimate they would need something around 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 update and about 1.5 year delay to have any chance of being successful. And by successful i mean, having a remote chance of chasing WoW....as they clearly stated they aimed for. I think those updates assuming they would have the smarts to think of, would have most of the fundamental basics of what an MMO in 2012 should of had and maybe a few more surprises. But oh well they made their move and are paying for it.

Here are the simple facts, and the reason we are in the shape we are in: BIOWARE - Complete noobs in the MMO arena. (They have completely shown this in their fundamental design of this game) EA - NEVER has had ANY successfully MMO in history, and has been 100% failure in that department. (go google and find one that did well....go ahead) 1. Motorcity Online - Shutdown 2. Earth and Beyond - Shutdown 3. Sims Online - Shutdown 4. Warhammer - Abysmal failure - On life support 5. SWTOR - Dieing We got 2 companies that have no idea what they are doing. So go ahead and keep waiting, and waiting.... And i keep hearing....oh well X game didnt have this at launch, or Y game was like that at launch.....here is the difference....THEY ACTUALLY HAD STUFF TO DO to keep us entertained in the meantime. TOR has nothing, its dead, its pointless, its boring. The endgame in TOR is so utterly pathetic it hurts the mind. Were stripped of nearly any form of customization....and were all forced down paths. The sooner companies realize that WOW will never be topped by a WOW clone, the sooner these companies will begin creating games that are fun, engaging, and designed where we WANT to keep playing. Pure Themepark games are crap...there time is coming to an end. Were tired of being told what to do, let us make our damn story, let us do what we want to do, let us breath, let us be free.

So 1.3 update will be a smaller update and be out much quicker tnen 1.2 took. Bioware you really good at giving people more excuses to just quit. So were looking at probably July now. That means guys with 6 month subs...that ends in August only have 1.3 too look forward too, yeah not resubbing

Awesome lets bring the other 3 people on the server to fight!!!

When half a year a goes by and the game is still as bad as this is, and communication is abysmal, and they got layoffs....sorry, no thanks, but they arent getting any more time from us. These guys did a horrible job with the IP, unless they can pull a miracle out of their *** ASAP....this ship will hit the bottom of the sea.

This is the type of stuff thats irrating your playerbase. You have dug yourself in such a hole now with how they game is, the servers, the silent communication, the never ending waiting to this damn 1.3 update...........and we get: New STAR WARS: The Old Republic Novel Cover Revealed! Who....gives....a.....crap My goodness BW, you really know how to further distance us

Too bad your the minority at this point

Because BW and EA are complete idiots when it comes to MMOs. It might be harsh to say, some of you may not like it, but it is a genuine FACT. EA has NEVER had a successful MMO...EVER. Go ahead, google, and come back to me with any MMO they have been successful with. BW are complete greenhorn noobs in the MMO arena....because well...this is their first MMO so naturally they will be idiots....though they wouldnt have to be if they done more homework and actually learned what it takes in 2012 to make a successful MMO. Bottomline....we dont have very smart people behind this project.

What do we usually hear from BW? We have some exciting stuff coming? Great content in the works You will be very pleased to see whats on the way Imagine a movie trailer.... You go to a movie and the preview screen pops up.........oh you say, whats this going to be about... The screen turns black....the music kicks in......here we go! Words begin flying at you from a black background... The greatest adventure ever is about to embark! It will be great It will blow your mind Brace yourself ...Coming....S O O N! This all happens with a black background and just letters flying you, nothing else. Uh what was that? Shrugs....its going to blow our mind i guess....eh whatever....lets check out the next trailer....

Were not rooting it to fail...we just hate the fact that they are making it fail because we wanted it to succeed. If it does end up truly failing, i think it will put a stamp on the industry to wake the hell up and pay attention to the community and what we really want...which is....freedom, choices, options.....not hands tied behind our back and guiding us to one path in the life of our playing experience....let us loose! Stop limiting us to what we can do, just give us the damn tools and let us make our own story, our own journey. WoW is WoW, other companies need to just suck it up and realize that WoW is untouchable and should stop trying to mimick them. Just make a god damn good game and people will come....that is all.

Sorry too hear bro, you have valid arguements. Dont blame anyone leaving this game at the moment, its in a abysmal state right now. Hopefully they wake up and start bringing things in, and much faster, and communicate more.

They have also killed Motor City Online...another mmo. And killed its own Sims Online.

Here is my dream scenerio: New top leaders walk-in the office Monday morning.... New Leaders: W T F have you guys been doing for 6 months?!?! Staff: Uh, well this rocket boo....(abrubtly cutoff) New Leaders: Get the hell out of this office! The hell is the matter with you people!?!? Is this your first taste of what an MMO is?!? Staff: We have voices that really immerse our players into a re....(cutoff again) New Leaders: One more word out of you and youll be finding yourself a new job! ...How are the mergers coming along?! Staff: Mergers? We dont believe that is the right course at this time, but in the future, we intend too...(not only cutoff, but grabbed from his shirt and dragged to a PC screen...opens up the server select page, and points his finger) New Leaders: Look at that you moron.....what do you see?!? Staff: I see....i see.....one heavy server, 5 standard, and like 150+ light servers? New Leaders: Yes you are correct! Your fired! Do we have any other idiots in here?! Do you people have any clue what MMO gamers expect today? Staff: We have never done an MMO... New Leader: Exactly! I want all of you to stop what you are doing right now.....yes you too...stop it! Stop wasting your time with this crap! Your only goal right now is to get Server Mergers going, with Transfer Servers. Your going to get Warzone rankings up and running, your going to get cross server LFG tool out, your going to add Chat Bubbles, your going to add an optional server wide chat channel so people can continue talking to others anywhere, your going to stop wasting your time on Legacy because you people could not of made it any more boring, and your going to add more things for our dedicated level 50 players to do, and stop forcing them to keep making alts because your too damn lazy to make anything endgame worthwhile. Oh and dont be scared to start adding some sandbox elements into the game. Staff: Uh....sandbox? What will they do with sand..?.... New Leaders: And your going to get this all done on the next update! And we better not see it drag on for months! Staff: Sigh... New Leaders: Also.....start talking to your playerbase on forums ALOT more! What are you vampires!?! Talk people! You have a brain and a mouth....T A L K!!!! Oh and if im still flying Starfox by the end of this year, and still be forced to stay in the Fleet.....you will not want to anticipate what will come upon you.

After this negative bombshell, still the dev tracker is dead....way to loose even more players....idiots.

Wow....just when you thought it coudnt get any worse, we wake up to this news. SWTOR is in trouble, you can fabricate what you want, this game is sinking....fast. Im feeling like the days of Earth and Beyond......EA you are doing it again, omg, you are so horrible in mmos.

First of all - NO CAP LEVEL RAISE! - This is just lazy designing. Lateral Expansion all the way. You can always improve a character and further progress of them by ADDING things to it such as: Alternative Acheivements beyond combat level 50 Beefier endgame gear New story/quests that further enhances your character with gear, and skills, and of course, deeper into the story. Also: Customization of our ship, LOTS of it! New Species! Real Open World PvP incentives to fight. Add risk and rewards so that you would want to fight any opposing player, anywhere you see them, not just "designated" places (boring) Mentoring System Expand the space system Remove the need for EVERYTHING to be on the Fleet! Make Dark/Neutral/Light standings actually mean something - give us rewards and risks to picking one! More abilities to customize our companions! Like their skills for one things. More planets Alot more gear choices, and endgame gear choices. Stop with the one set and only one set we have to pick. Give us more options...more, more, more. Make worldbosses worthwile to try and hunt down - Their loot table is abysmal, there is no incentive to want to kill one (hint: Make their loot better then or equal but different then OPs gear drops) - Make them harder for balance reasons if they get better gear....but make them sough after! Ok thats enough for one expansion....
