There needs to be a way to +1 posts. I've done this before as well. Almost made me leave the game completely. They need a better purchasing interface with more obvious buttons and details about each armors purchase.

How is this a troll post?

I just bought a new computer and I plan on replacing the GFX card in it, but ATM it has a Nvidea GT 630. What level should I be able to play on comfortably. In case you were wondering I plan on getting a GTX760

I went sith because the gear is better, the stories are better and everything you see, touch or talk about isn't colored various shades of poop.

This is one of the most frustrating things in the game for me. As a Republic player I really would like my character to look like a Dark Jedi and wear some of the masks/gear that Empire has. The empire has the best looking armor. I'm not asking for any of the main sets like tier gear or pvp epic gear(however, I envy the lvl 40 pvp suit of the warrior), I'm just talking about the random mod-able pieces. I play Republic, my guild is Republic, but the Empire has WAY better gearing options. Hands down, I don't think there are many people who believe differently. This really has a negative impact on my play-style because I like to get into the look of my character as well as the story itself. Honestly I don't care if you make this a Cartel Market option or just change it outright, either would be great, but please make this change. Gear shouldn't change its look when it crosses faction. The gear one wears, tier/pvp epics aside, shouldn't be the identifier of the faction but of the character itself. Revan wore his mask as a Jedi, Duku traveled through the Republic without changing his look, Anakin wore a black leather suit before encountering an at work incident leading to an asthma issue, etc.

Nautolan, Togruta, Voss, Gormak, and Kel Dor. Then I'd be temporarily satisfied.

This would be a really easy way to make some money in the Cartel Market. Just saying

I would still like to see a developer response to this, if they do that sort of thing.

Sith/Dark Jedi that dress like Jedi: Reven, Duku, Ajunta Pall, Atris, Kreia, Starkiller, Yun. Jedi that dress like Sith/Dark Jedi: Reven, Qui-gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Maris Brood, Barriss Offee, Dar'Nala, Galen Marek, Dark Woman, Luke Skywalker, Atris. As for the people who wear masks, those are mostly to cover scars obtained in battle or help them breath. Neither the Empire nor the Republic are light/dark. It comes down to the individual. There are Dark Jedi and Light Sith. The cloths they wear reflect that. In reality your "alignment" doesn't effect your fashion sense, so it's stupid for it to in game.

I think they should have made all the non-force users to be on both sides. It could have been done with minimal changes. Imperial trooper: Join the OG Havoc squad. Imperial Smuggler: Haven't played their class yet but they usually go to the highest bidder. SIS Agents/Imperial defector: already there. Republic Bounty Hunter: Same as smuggler. Highest bidder.

If they put in SGR I really hope there is an opt out option like they have for skipping cut-scenes. Not a big fan of that decision.

I'd really not like to see this thread die. Especially without a response from a Dev or a CSR. This would be amazing for F2P as well. They could make it a Cartel Market option. You pay X amount of coins and you can use both factions gear appearance. Just think of how many people would pay for that.

I really hope this isn't the problem. lol. I'd love to hear something from a developer on this subject.

Can we please get some BH armor that looks more like Ironman/War-Machine than a goofy astronaut please? Very few sets even resemble the Fett's gear.

I really hope this gets changed in the future. I want to make a Reven style dark jedi and this is putting a huge damper on my day.

Lose Vista and get Win7. Another 2 gigs of ram wouldn't hurt, but to be honest I'd just go to ibuypower.com and get my own custom built computer. It's a lot easier IMO. You're motherboard and chipset are a bit outdated so it's hard to suggest many updates for it. A SSD hard drive would make it go a bit faster as well.

I'd rather this not be the case. I'd like a dual spec within the AC but not an AC swapping deal. I would rather people have to level the other side of the class on a separate character. It's not hard and it ensures that they'll at least know how to play the class a little bit.

I know one of my sith masks turned into a jedi headband and the jedi robe I sent to the empire side turned into a sith style shirt. This is seriously the most ridiculous thing they could have put in the game. It's the little things like this that add up to people unsubbing.

SWTOR's inability to create software compatible with the current hardware of the majority of the player-base is the fault of the Hardware. Didn't you get that message? Seriously though, I couldn't agree more.

Why does gear change looks when it crosses factions? This is ridiculous. Get rid of it. Make it so if we send unbound custom gear, it will keep the look it has for the empire side on the republic side and vice versa. There are Dark Jedi as well as Light Sith. We shouldn't be constrained to stupid looks that don't represent our characters. Liberate our gear. Anything that is class specific is fine but all the unrestricted gear shouldn't change looks when it crosses faction. This needless addition really takes away from your game. Especially since it hits RPers, and people who like to get into their characters.

I just resubbed after a while. I believe I've been gone since march. I left for quite a few reasons that I thought this game was lacking in. It seems to have gotten a little better but I'm not exactly sure if I want to make this my primary game yet. critiques: Dark Jedi outfits shouldn't look like jedi in darker colors. The difference between dark and light gear should be more than just shades of the same color or black vs khaki. Vice versa for light side Sith. If you were going to make us "choose" the path of our character it should have changed the story. Honestly I believe that this is more than what it's worth. It consumes too many resources that should be spent in other places. Scrapping it was a good idea, or at least that's what it seems like you've done. Making us the hero is a bit much. In most games we're the fodder which is better in my opinion because it doesn't over "fluff" the player. What's the point in having raid bosses when I've already killed the emperor? There should be more emphasis on what we're doing and less on our grandeur. I'd rather follow the story of a hero than be him then go off to do something that seems a lot lesser in importance. All legacy perks should span the entire legacy. If not then what's the point of even having it. The perks could use quite a bit of tuning as well. The GCD in this game really makes it feel like you're wading through water. It feels slow and unresponsive. I'd like it to be more engaging. Raid bosses need to be more interactive. Give us objectives in fights, not just stay out of fire and or rotate cooldowns. Each one should be unique and fun. The raiding in this game seems very 2006. I don't see why you made a large amount of planets when we only saw like two area's worth. It seemed like we saw no more than two states worth of area on an entire planet. Fewer planets with more exploration would have been better. suggested additions Gut the current space mission model and make a shiny 2012 version of starfox64 in a starwars atmosphere. Add a starfox style pvp areas. Maybe even a cross-over where you start out in ships attacking a main enemy ship, boarding it and then fighting as a character to disable it's shields or something, while the other side defends. Then trade sides. Let us choose the AC And talent tree(preset) of each of our companions. Give us more options on who our companions are or let our companions span legacy. Tie armor types and set bonuses to armoring. Make the bonuses be on the modifications of the armor instead of the armor itself this way we can choose how we want to look without being penalized for it. Expand on all the planets. Instead of just making this game a theme-park, make it a theme-park of sandboxes. Make every planet feel like a planet. Even if the majority of it is just civilians/exploratory or even just enemy npc inhabited nothingness for RPers. This would open up for random mini-quests or an actual in game place where companions go to do their missions. Farming/ gathering areas, etc. This would also help with immersion. Player housing is another option for these areas. Make a garage and more space ships to buy. A hutt based ship dealer would be quite fitting. Let us trade our current ship or buy more to loan them out or just have. Various ship styles, colors etc. This is a good way to have a gigantic money sink. Tens of millions of credits worth maybe more.

Please make the Juggernaut's DoTs from the Vengeance tree be based on weapon/force damage done. This way when you get a critical attack the enemy bleeds for more damage. It wouldn't be a big buff but it would help, it also makes more sense. The bigger the hole you put in another person the more they're going to bleed.

Dear Bioware, lucas arts, EA, SWTOR Devs., Please create a save file with our current keybinds that will allow us to import them on our alts. This way I don't have to reconfigure 20+ keybinds on my UI every time I start a new toon. Thank you! Tom

When you play baseball/soccer/football/etc., what gear do you play for? Do you get the best gear in the NFL/NHL/etc.? Is it epic? How much does it increase your stats? Are you doing this for money? Get on twitch TV and stream your gameplay. :rolleyes:

No, I've seen them crit with Smash for 4.7-6k+ against lvl 50s. Rage still puts out some good aoe.
