  1. If you can afford it (and you don't mind what your character looks like) you can always grab cheap pieces of adaptive gear off the GTN. Take only commendations as your quest rewards and of course fill your adaptive gear up with mods every oh, 10 to 12 levels depending on how well you can hold out. It might take a few story quests to ramp up and have enough commendations but it won't take too long . Eventually you'll have more comms than you know what to do with. The republic fleet supplies area will have all the mods and such (as well as certain planets, but only the level appropriate ones for that area) This should easily keep you in good gear throughout your leveling process.
  2. Excellent post and i couldn't agree more. It's one of the reasons I kinda fell out of the raiding crowd, too many tightly wound people. I'd like to enter an encounter and actually learn it, and enjoy it, but with the majority of raiding guilds, there is no room for this. It's a shame that such content is set up in such a way where a group of small friends has no chance without being in a larger circle/guild. Cause then we wipe, we laugh we learn we move forward. That element is lost when dealing with the gaming public for the most part (not all) but most.
  3. I never cared for lfg tools myself, preferring to group up with people I know. Not going to say everyone who used it was a complete tool, but far too many were in the games I played. I however won't rally against it being implemented if other people find a use in it. I can still continue to do what I do, so I see no reason for it not to be implemented.
  4. This here. If your team is fine with chain pulling then hey, I'm all for it, knock yourself out. However when grouping with random people, it's easier to assume that they can't handle chain pulling. I don't like to use such a broad brush stroke, but it's true in most cases. It's easier to ask if it's ok to chain pull first I suppose, some people may not like it, others may. For me it just depends, on laid back days when I'm swigging beer and eating snacks during a run, I like the little pauses now and then.
  5. So because you find the game alright, it must mean that no one else is entitled to their own opinion? It also means that the people who are still struggling with bugs and other issues have no right to be upset about them? it also means that anyone not agreeing with you is a QQer? All good points to know. I'd like to subscribe to your limited world good sir.
  6. Server merges, like many have said. There are also several bugs that I am still dealing with now that have been in since launch. Some are minor (like ashara's lightsabers always being drawn) and some are quite problematic. Sudden and inexplicable frame rate loss. New species would be nice, really don't like nearly every race pretty much being a different colored human. Also wouldn't mind not seeing some of the people on this forum who call others entitled because they want a product they pay for to actually work right. That or they call them whiners or QQers.
  7. That immersion worked fine for star wars galaxies in it's heyday. It was a much more open ended game. Here in swtor, you're just being led by the hand from point a to b, experiencing someone else's story (whatever class you are playing) At least for me, I can't help but think I am just playing a game.
  8. 4/10 The class quests are fun which is where most of the score comes from. The problem is that gameplay is highly repetitive. there is little to no variety in the quests (kill 10 of these, bonus mission kill 30 of these, etc etc) Planets feel like nothing but empty space with no reason to entice players to come back once they are gone, last night I was the ONLY person on hoth at peak time on my alt, this was bergeren colony. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs I have submitted several reports over the last few months, none of which have been resolved. They include, companion affection bugs, namely ashara. No decision you make, positive or negative evokes a response from her, not to mention her lightsabers are always drawn, even when they are hanging from her belt. Next up, mysterious alignment bug. Even when making lightside choices, i get dark points as well, for no reason whatsoever. I do not have diplomacy or anything of that nature, this is another issue that has gone unresolved. More recently, the newest patch has done something to the sounds of the game, speeders will suddenly be muffled among other things. There are several other issues as well I will admit while not gamebreaking, certainly don't make for a pleasant experience when they are piled one on top of the other, and have existed for months. All in all, swtor really needs some work, I honestly hope it gets better, I just can't rate it any higher and put it in league with better mmos in it's current state, maybe given another year or more things will be different, but right now it's just barely an average title with nothing special about it really other than it being star wars.
  9. I think it means people with an inflated sense of superiority.
  10. Think a fair amount of people went with option 2 which caused this issue to begin with. Kinda sucks that everyone has to pound onto one server just to get a decent experience with the game. how long before that becomes it's own problem when everyone is told to go to say, fatman?
  11. They only did what the players asked for. Folks screamed murder cause they had to wait a few minutes in a queue at the start of the game, now as a chunk of the population has either stopped playing or moved on completely, you have a bunch of near empty servers. If anyone blame the fickle community heh.
  12. SWTOR is just mediocre, and that's me being as objective as objective can get. I don't blindly hate it, after playing it, I just wasn't impressed. it does nothing new besides add voice to the quests. In fact it plays it safer than a lot of other games in the mmo field. When I dig for a positive point about this game, it's mostly just "it has has voiceovers, and light sabers" From raiding to pvp, it's all very bare minimum and not memorable at all. I mean if you've pvped or raided in the past, can you honestly say swtor is the best you've had in that regard? Even from a social or rp standpoint, there just isn't much to work with here.
  13. perhaps, though it is the game's fault for presenting content no one wants to do hardly on their way to 50. Make the group content a little more relevant. Whether you're alone or with 3 other people, stale content, is stale content.
  14. While the op may be overreacting, it's silly to think that mmo entities never consider how to get extra cash out of their product. Especially when considering things like MTs
  15. This is my issue with the game. Some of the class stories are really good. it seems though that the excellent voice acting is wasted on the repetitive quests which surround the main story. They mostly boil down to kill this enemy 30 times, or collect 10 of this item. No matter how well acted these parts are, they just can't make this type of gameplay exciting. Some variety in the quest types would be a welcome change at least for me.
  16. Think you missed the point of what the op was saying. warcraft for example had funny segments where your future self would aid you with quests. Don't see how it'd be unreasonable for certain parts of the game where your legacy characters came in to aid you at certain times. Oh and your signature is just... I think a bad game would prevent someone from having fun.
  17. Shoulda been real though. Would have been a step up in the content department.
  18. Precisely. In msot mmos I've played, you'd get the most constructive feedback from forums. People who run numbers, or do extensive testing on their own time. I'm not saying all things said on the forum are useful (far from it). You have a better chance to get useful feedback from someone who objectively sees the game's faults. Not someone complaining about boots as you mentioned.
  19. It's a pc game, some people can run fine with no issues while others experience almost crippling problems. There could be any number of reasons for it. In SWTOR's case, it's mostly cause it's a PoS,
  20. Could be because that's the way they want it, and your ideal is not their ideal. Funny that, everyone having different tastes. There is no right way or wrong way to make a character, and yours is no more unique and special than anyone else's. Game has limited features to customize as you pointed out. There are bound to be some that fit people's vision for their character more than others. It's not like anyone can go around to different people's character creation screen and take careful notes so they can avoid doing the same thing. What you are describing is probably pure coincidence.
  21. This just in... people play games for various reasons.
  22. I read this post and actually expected a teary eyed video going "LEAVE BIOWARE ALONE!!!!"
  23. If it's not why you play, there is no reason to. if you just like to level, you may as well forget it until an expansion is released, which is generally when the level cap is raised and new abilities/talents are added.
  24. I think the op is confusing difficulty with time consumption. Leveling is a bit quick in this game, which has nothing really to do with difficulty. I dunno any current mmo that is difficult as far as leveling. Time consuming yes, but not difficult. It sounds like the OP wants a grind, this has never been a substitute for actual gameplay in my eyes.
  25. I stopped playing my account because swtor is simply lacking as a game. I really couldn't care much about gw 2 or any other mmo. This one was sort of my last hope for an mmo that would hold my interest.
