BW/EA found another way to piss people off or turn people away from even playing the game. Now they have dropped their Toll Free number for a Toll number. So now to be put on hold for hours on end just to have to call back later you will be charged long distant fees. I only know about other MMOs I play, but all of them have free ways to contact customer support out of their game. Just another addition to push away subs and more so the new players in the F2P who prob have more questions about issues then those of us who have played for a while. I just don't get their desissions as of late. It just seems they are making moves so they can slowly push away people to close up shop. yes the game has issues, but it can be saved, I just don't see the company doing the things to save it. They just keep adding questionable things that will just push people away or make so new people wont want to even give it a try. #Sigh

You should still get them every 30 days, its on the 31st day though really as long as your account is active on the 31st day. So buying more then a month at a time I don't think should change that. Other then that, I do know people have had issues where their coins come late, or not at all till they go through the CS jump rope.

This. In our NiMEC clearing guild our top DPS is a merc and a Madness Sorc in most fights. Our Merc usually wins out. the top 5 are all near eachother, but those two almost always battle for the tops.

Honestly more then the pricepoint and all the other talk, it is this I am more worried about. It took them most of the year to balance things, and of course it is not perfect, but now redoing trees and adding more points to thwem will obviously cause some balancing issues. Yes in every MMO when you level again you have this happen, but right now the game is already in damage control and add in an outcry of massive class imbalance and it might be the tipping point to a real colapse of the game. Yeah everyone says the game is dead, but it is still doing OK, and if they can just make a few smart ideas, the game can make a comback. Not some massive 1million subs, but it can stay steady with 500k subs and 500k f2p. So this class balancing above all might be the most important thing in the upcoming MikeB xpac.

Ya this item is common, it is not a huge thing. Take it if you like the color. And if youre in a guild where you cant trust people.... get a new guild

funny, but obviously BS

(edit) nevermind...

Nope, seems right now it is a bit bad. My guild as well has peopel with ones in going on weeks if not a month. And some are simple IMO. But ya no idea when this will get better if ever.

Well to be fare, the F2P pushed everything back a lot, so you need to take out maybe up to 6 months of them trying to decide how they wanted to go forward, and maybe in the next year the game will have more of a vision. You may not like the vision, but they seem to have one now at least, so that is a good thing as long as you like what they do. But it is a viable excuse to why this year was a bit wonky on releases.

It is funny when common people think they know better then a billion dollar company. It is a buisness, they don't make games for everyone to enjoy. They make games to make money. Lowest common demominator wins out.

Thank you again for quoting the DEVs. I think people want it to be more then it is. It is just a small release. You get what you pay for. They put the word xpac on it, and so many think it is gonna be days and days of content.... it is not. the DEVs have told us it is not. Stop lying to yourselves in thinking it is more thne the DEVs have said it will be.

It would have to cost a lot, or at least as much if not more then buying bank access for all your toons with CC right now. They would only offer it for CC right now IMO. But i think I hear people asking for this enough, that it would be a decent money maker for them against the cost of writing the code for it. The guild banks are already able to be used by multiple accounts, so it would seem the tech for this is already somewhat in place.

You take that back! New and more DAILIES is never a good thing! Carry on.

Ya story arcs do hange if you let peopel live or not, or other options like this. It is not groundbreaking but it is more or less what they said. Of course hype is always added by people and then it becomes bigger then what it is, and expectation become more then the game can cover, but you do alter the story slightly and in some ways get a different ending. If is like some games where you save the world or blow it up? Not really. Do some classes still end the same way regardles of who lives or dies in the story? Yup. But hey those people are dead or not dead, so that is different. So yes the stories here are not so amazingly different and groundbreaking as the hype pre release was pushing them, but they are on the high end of quality that some other MMOs do not ofer, or might offer but only with text .

Yes the website can adjust using logic, but at the end of the day we don't know when they make changes in what they concider light, me, high. So this is just a good guess. I am sorry, but I don't hang my hat on good guesses when arguing if a population is going up or down, when the game can just change 300k to high when 300k was med at launch. yes that last sentence was just pulled out of my you know what, but they have made these changes and can make them any time. nobody knows what thse words actually stand for when it comes to the numbers they represent. So using it in an argument for or against the actual numbers is laughable.

Ya i think the OP is in a bad guild or just doesn't like the endgame in MMOs. Good guilds find fun ways to RP in the world given. And raiding guilds.... well raid...... And PVP guilds set up PVP games and Tournies to host and run on servers. Sounds like you just like to play the story and then you are pissed when it ends.... they can't just make it go on forever like say Skyrim. This is an MMO. They play just like SWTOR does with a few differences here and there.

OP, you beat the game. Good for you. Do you also write other game companies when you beat their game and tell them you need more? Jesus, yes if you max out everything and do everything, which is a lot, then you ***** you need more? You do know there are other games in the world. Every MMO will end up having a HUB where people go to. If it wasn't the Fleet, it would be somewhere else. In fact many in the RP side of things don't hang out in the Fleet. It sounds like you would have more fun plaing Rift. Seriously, check it out. it has a lot of what you want. Tellion Bioware they should make another game is like telling Pizzahut to make Burgers and not pizza. They make the game they make. If you want something else, there are other MMOs that have exactly what you are lookign for. You will never have everything you want unless you make a game yourself. Cause ya as much as people can't believe this is NOT YOUR GAME. It is Bioware's game.

NO It should not be compared. For one, SWTOR has a Sub, and GW2 does not. And the gameplay is almost 100% different. Apple and Oranges. Comparing them just because they are both video games does nothing but continue useless conversations. but it is nice to see someone take notice to the whole market. So many just look at the US market and stop. The asian market makes the US market look like a grain of sand in the scheme of things.

I honestly thought there was a lot of healthy conversations. For every post about things people don't like there is one of what people do like. And if you take the time to read the threads, you will see people on both sides giving valid points to why they feel how they feel. Discussion about this is healthy for those who enjoy this kind of expression of self. Really no need to ask for it to end. If anything maybe Bioware reads these or at least gets memos on the skinny of what their community is saying and puts it to good use. If anyone here flat out hated and didn't play the game, they wouldn't take the time to post either way. Forums are just a way to let out ideas, and even though it spills over to the flame and troll, it also forms good ideas.

I will never get the this game is better then this game talk. I feel bad for people who can't play many games and enjoy them for what they are. Loving one game just to hate another game is just silly. Love all games, or don't like games, but don't hate a game just cause you love other games.

We hit level 10 on the starter Planet. Would you spend 10 bucks just for one of the starter planets that we leave in 30 min to an hour? Just a thought.

You do know that GW2 has an issue with server hopping. You might just be on a server people left, but they are all on another server. It is def an issue with the WvWvW, but again people seeing one thing and seeing the whole world that way. Someone shoots up a school and all the sudden we need gun control. It is sad how fast people can come to a conclusion after spending such little time in it. Perception is reality right? Oh how I wish I could live my life in the bubble some people do. Also what is your point? More people play COD then SWTOR... I never got this compare two things for no reason but to show one has more of something even when that is a meaningless conversation to have.

You do know that counts the status of the servers, and it in no way shows the population. SWTOR has changed time and again what light, med, and high means. So it is really a bad way of saying the game has a lot of players. But like I will say again, if you like the game, great, if not, great, but the game has lost a huge chunk of subs, and there is no way of knowing if it gaining any more or losing more. Unless they announce numbers again in a investor's call, nobody knows.

Head-desk honestly if anyone can believe this game has not lost a lot of subs and even going free to play is not in a good place and will just continue to bleed, then I don't know what to say. It is not liek some big secret this game has been slowly losing subs. Every gaming news outlet will tell you the same thing. This is not soem opinion. Now if you like the game, that is fine. Play it, hell I play it, but that does not mean it is having major issues. It is a 200million budget game that went F2P in less then a year. Yes it is having problems. I got some land I wanna sell you people, and a car... don't worry they are both great.

Ok we had a 25 person guild at launch, and there is only 2 left from that. We then joined another guild that all but left the game. So 40 is a close enough number to be honest. I also know of other guilds who were with us in clearing content as server firsts who all quit as well. So that is around 2 other 8 and guilds. Now some of those peopel might have come back, I don't know, but close to 40 is def not out of the range. Most of the serious raiders have quit. I only came back cause I wanted to see the new OPS, but only 1 person I knew then still plays that I know of. I can try to dig up old guild web sites and you can see how many have quit. And those 200+ guilds are what i am saying is thriving. those guilds are not the hardcore raiders/pvper. Yes in your world all is well, but for players in my world, the game is not doing so well. Again it is all reletive.
