No, i have alot of mmo experience. If its so bad, then lets pick the biggest example...Eve online. ONE server. You have chat channels the WHOLE server can communicate with. If its such a BAD idea....how the hell does the community survive!!!! How? Because its actually a community. Its an MMO for a reason - to play and TALK with other people. NO one complains....ooo...to many lines went by. Man up and scroll up then. If you notice spammers....block...fixed.

I can imagine, because ive played many mmos that have done this...and guess what....its ALOT more enjoyable. Having a tie to the whole community on a channel trumps you having to scroll a couple lines because you was busy killing a mob. In other words you would rather have a cricket quiet channel with no one talking......right

They should stop all this nonsense of limits in game. Open up General chat for EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the server to read and chat. That alone will not force us to stay in the fleet our entire lives at end-game. Next allow travel to hit all our raids and FPs that we need....BESIDES the fleet! Let me ask you this, how many of you, before you played this game, said to yourself....man i cant wait to get in game and chill at my favorite location (tatooine, hoth, coruscant...)....how many had a fleet base....a fleet base as your must go to spot and enjoy....ill take a guess....none! So many nice looking planets, bioware, why do you force us of all the places....the fleet!? I would love to imagine a time when tatooine would be thriving, people hanging out at the bar....living out their star wars fantasies.....or in a thriving world city of coruscant....which of course is anything but that. I mean even if you wanted to go to these other places...you CANT. You become alienated from the general chat thats in fleet. Since there is no LFG system, you simply have to stay in fleet.... ALL...THE...TIME. How about making incentives to WANT to pvp someone, on any planet there might be the opposing faction? I for one, didnt imagine, star wars, sith vs republic....the open world possibilities....being watered down to just 3 warzones. Wheres the incentive of real open world pvp...not illum, thats forcing you to one spot. Im talking a full incentive system where you'll WANT to fight anyone of opposing faction, on any planet! Right now there is 0. So basically few simple things to really add some value - 1. Allow general chat to be server wide 2. Allow other methods of travel to reach desired end-game areas, besides fleet. 3. Implement good LFG system that dont demand you sit in one place to form a group. (being worked on) 4. Merge servers to get them more lively....alot more (think they have said something, but about character transfers, not servers) 5. Add more incentives to go outside fleet to do stuff and to chill (probably long term years plus project). 6. Add incentives to PvP people in the open world - as in on any planet you will run into a sith (arenas get boring, and Illum doesnt count, its still a FORCED place you have to go.) Gonna add thought to number 1 after thinking and getting feedback. Instead of replacing general chat, perhaps they add another chat tab, called Galactic. This would coincide with the general chat. The general chat would stay and function as is, but Galactic chat would be server wide. Also the Galactic chat could be level tiered like in EQ2, so levels 1-9 can only talk to each other, 10 - 19, and etc....and at level 50 get their own bracket. And of course you should have the option of removing this tab if you dont like it, while still retaining the general tab. Sounds like a fair compromise. Anyways thats my thoughts

Release the damn thing already, ill say it, im sick of waiting for the messiah patch. Newsflash, it will not be perfect, it will have bugs, wether they release it TODAY or next month! But the longer they take, the more people will quit and never come back....and that is a fact. Anyways, i got 6 month sub so im in it for awhile, but damn man, move that update already....way way way to many crucial things that should of been at launch....release it soon!!!!

Do you guys feel that overall, the gear is just underwhelming in term of stat increases as you go up in tier? When you look at Columi to Rakata and to even the new "Campaign" gear in 1.2 - the stats are so minimal of a difference, it just doesnt make it exciting. There is nothing WOW about any of these pieces. There is nothing really that is in the gear pool, that someone just drools over and says, O M G i have to get that. For example in Everquest 2, when you raid, each new tier brings significant boost to your character. They have a TON of different added bonuses to each gear, then just the "stats". It really makes you feel like, wow, yeah my character is much better, stronger, then he was in the last tier. Plus, there isnt any variety in raid pieces...its all ONE set, thats it. And they all provide ONE set bonus for the entire raid loot! Where is the variety? We have world bosses in planets...great. How about dropping unique gear from those that are not part of the set, but so good that you just have to use them! Im thinking Avatars in EQ2. Anyways in conclusion, i just think the all the FP/OPs piece are very underwhelming, and boring. The ONLY pieces that have any type of excitement are the Relic pieces from Hardmode....and even those are not THAT much of a boost. What you guys think?

Raiding should always net better rewards then non-raiders. Sorry you have to hear that, but that is just how it is and should be. Does it mean you shouldn't be rewarded for doing other non-raiding stuff....of course not. But since we dont have details on nightmare mode operation on 1.2, its hard to say the real end game loot will be handled, because that is where its going to come from, not hardmode. So by giving you another option to get this raid gear that is like the columi of 1.2 means that the real rakata of 1.2 from nightmare stays in nightmare mode and not vendors, then im all for it. Again, im only assuming this stuff for nightmare mode, they could just give us same loot and throw in a speeder and call it different gear.

You dont RE that implant, you get the schematic off operations. I got one myself and learned it. Now i can make that implant. I already made 2 with augment slots each, i think i may replace these with the rakata ones. Cuz augment slot give it a nice edge.

Hahahahaha. Ah man cant stop laughing. Yeah its that bad. Heres hoping Nightmare mode armor drops look better since they said nightmare will drop different loot. (though this wont be in 1.2 anyways). But it is true, at least for a jedi knight perspective.....look wise...i have yet to be excited about any high end gear and say to myself "oh damn that looks sick, i cant wait to wear that!"

I hate to say this, you probably think im impatient but i dont care. If the patch is being applied at this moment, whats the harm of just release the notes NOW. ***runs away***

K thanks for info, ill just read patch notes! Not starting from 0...no way.

Big question, is our characters transfered there now or we have to start from 0.

Just seeing how EVERYTHING and ANYTHING related to any fix, or update or change, is ALL being crammed into ONE super mega - biblical proportions update which is 1.2....the question comes to mind is...... Could they not just break up the damn thing and give us smaller pieces, much faster? Rather then waiting, waiting, waiting....for super mega update? There is no way on earth someone can say, its impossible for that to happen, because it can. But i ask this: Do you prefer super mega updates that come after longer periods of time or Do you prefer smaller updates, that come more often in the end..... You get the same content, but you get fed more regulary in smaller doses. P.S. I prefer smaller more frequent

Not anymore

We did get 1.1.5a on LIVE server already devs! Why would you waste your time NOW patching test server to 1.1.5a? I think someone made a type, and its actually 1.2....thats what i believe.

Just read an article at mmorpg.com, and it was about playing the new flashpoint. Well upon reading i came upon this: "Our press play session began bright and early in the Bioware offices with a good long look at the new Lost Island Flashpoint that will arrive in the SWTOR public test server on March 13th" So take as you will but, hey, they were in the Austin offices, playing along BW employees, they must know SOMETHING. Cant wait! http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/367/feature/6182/Flashpoint-The-Lost-Island-Hands-On.html/page/1

I laugh at people that say...you play a game for its gameplay....OK sure. But now lets turn swtor into doom 1 of graphics.....lets see how many play cause of gameplay. Bottomline...today...a game actually needs both. But anyways I'm super excited were getting better visuals.

In relevance to one update in comparision to what it will add/change to an mmo, i do think it will be one of the biggest. I mean pretty much EVERYTHING that gets talked about, is said to be coming out in 1.2. 1.2 will be HUGE....yes it will. (crafting alone is 4 pages) Anyways im really looking foward to it. I think 1.2 will FINALLY take the game out of its stale BETA state which it is right now and be upgraded to a much more respectable "LAUNCH" mmo. Now i just gotta wait...wait...wait.

Well i get both dps and tank gear for my guardian. So for me i have to make 4 total pieces of rakata. Initially i made 5 pieces, and got 2 of them critical with augment. I was going to go back to bio, but im like, i might as well do it right the first time. 7 more pieces made i still havent made another critical...so getting the last 2 crits on the wrists for dps and defensive pieces is becoming very exhausting. I want to give up, but....uh...i just keep making more as i get more alloys....one of these days ill get another critical. Though im thinking next time ill just have Kira que up 5 pieces overnight and hopefully when i wake up at least 1 will crit!

I just got my boots today off GTN! That completes my set! So excited! Now if only the devs allowed purples to be modded fully..... Oh you guys will hate me, but i had a 2nd chestpiece, but i didnt know if you pull a mod from it, it becomes BOUND! So Ill have a jedi battlelord chestguard, sitting, forever, collecting dust, in my bank..... Naddist Rebels - PvP

Hey guys id thought i share this, because im so freaking excited i actually got it dropped! The piece i needed lol. I just got the Jedi Battlelord Greaves, no more then 5minutes ago. My dropped: STORY SPOILER On the Jedi Knight story - last mission - Called Doomsday "Find the Emperor's Chambers". Its literally the hallway away from the room the emperor is in. It was off the final mob before the emperor. A level 50 Elite mob, one of those red suited guards, you know the special private guards the emperor has. The coordinates are -1873, 188. Hope that helps anyone, im super surpised i actually got a piece to drop for me, wow. Ok back to story, this emperor is tough!

The pvp 50s ones are the worse possible armor. If your hoping for good looks with pvp....forget it. Only when they add ability to completely strip out mods from pvp to orange will we be saved. The pve 50s vendors, the armor is better, it dont look that bad, id wear. Overall, honestly, the best loooking armor...is orange gear. Find a set you like, collect it, and be ready to mod it whenever the devs get around to adding that feature. Somehow i got a feeling they purposely made the best looking gear be orange.

On Naddist Rebels PvP server. I managed to buy the headpiece, forearms, hands, and chest off the market for very cheap! I just need the greaves and feet and im all set! Anyone on this server, please help, thanks! P.S. I saw this guy in greaves, im like dude, how long till you got them. Hes like i bought a pair off market then i got another in corellia off random drop. Im like man u got an extra? Hes like no i sold them on market in minutes! He said if you havent finished corellia bonus missions, i recommend you do them. So im in corellia now...

I'm purposely getting only pvp gear at the moment that don't affect my appearance. That's how awful our end game pvp armor looks. My friend, a sentinal is forced to where that set too...and he did. I tell him lol. He's like what? I'm like bro, you look sooo stupid, I can't believe you wear that....he's like I know:( FIX THE END GAME PVP ARMOR FOR JEDI KNIGHTS!!

I knew I should of went sith... they look soooooooooo much better. Cmon bioware, wake up... No sane person would like at that **** and say it looks good for a Jedi Knight. It is by miles....the Worse looking armor in the entire game...and you give it to us as our end pvp gear! Way to piss off many people. Change that stupid look ASAP... not a request...it's a demand.

I just wanted to say, i played Everquest 2 when it came out in...what 2004? They had a TON of graphic options. And guess what, they not only had Low, Medium, High....but even EXTREME! And guess what...take a guess. NO ONE back then could run EQ2 on Extreme Graphics with full shadows on! NO ONE! Did that stop them from having those incredible detail textures and graphics then? NO! Did that destroy the game and backlash itself because people could not run it?! NO! All it did is gave people something too look forward too....man one day, ill have a pc that can run those graphics...oh man its going to be sooooo sweet! (and for High on TOR, people can run it fine!) Cmon BIOWARE! You are showing laziness and complete fear in your game, loosen up already, you already put in enough limits in character creation...UI...Guild...graphics...etc... BTW....EQ2 textures, a game from 04....looks ALOT better then SWTOR!
