You 100% right but they messed up on the original world zone designs and Ilum. Those were suppose to be the big PVP improvements, revolutionary to the genre and than we never saw it. On top of no CHAT BUBBLES, seriously, you would think by now someone would make the needed improvments. On top of that this game doesn't even recognize certain Mouse functions and what the heck happened to all of the awesome game developing companies. The industry has gone to the garbage can in innovation. I truely believe everything has gone to corporate when the industry used to be about making quality games for their customers.

This game was a PVP game from the start and created some of the best new maps for battle grounds in a long, long time. MOBA games are hot right now because they are PVP oriented but you got MMOs like this game and WOW who have lost sight of that listening to PVE players and than wonder why their subscriptions are falling and the genre is dying. The only game worth any time really is Wildstar in my opinion. They give you pretty much anything these games give you. I am frustrated with SWTOR because the restrictions it has implimented on to PVP along with piss poor management of the priority of PVP.

I appreciate the info but you know what, I shouldn't have to find a solution on my own for these types of issues. This should be something that the programmers should be insuring that it works with their product. Been here from the begining, supported the game longer than most, even after the mass exodus of the first two years, came back and nothing has changed. Clearly disappointed in what used to be a great company.

Than I guess I won't be paying for or playing this game and it is simple as that. Canceled today.

The only ones I like are Torian and Mako. I would prefer a three man crew on my team because the smaller the better.

Lets hope so because I have been wanting this just as much as bubble chat.

Because folks don't have the patients to socialize with others or teach folks. On the Flip side. Some folks don't want to learn or look at constructive criticism as insults.

Buy it, because it helps support the game and brings more story.

No companions or old companions does it really matter??? Its not like the majority of your companions are sitting in your star ship, collecting dust. Its not like you can play real life hanky panky with your spouse.

Question is this going to be a completely separate game from the original, meaning our character cannot port back. If that is the case I am game for this and I love the Idea of playing my old character in a new era or world.

I am a returning player as well from Early access and got the PVP titles among others from playing in the beginning.

Maybe a good solution is to allow NPC to attack infected players. The quest says "People who are infected will be immediately shot".

Klingon for me =P

Couldn't agree more with you and been telling all my friends to come back. My only gripe is *********** no Chat Bubbles because I like to RP sometimes or just shoot the **** with someone.

That is because WOD sucks and WOW is losing its momentum. People are starting to see quality in other games and SWTOR has a golden opportunity to take advantage of it.

You know I have been searching all over the net for this DEV explanation of why we can't get Chat bubbles and you know what? There is none "Surprised are you". All I have been able to find is the old Articles from the old Fan/News Web Sites that talked about it or did interviews with the DEV team regarding this issue, and this was after the game has been out for several months not during development. 2012 - 13 http://www.swtor-rp.com/home/m/1639454/article/903242 http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2012/08/01/five-lessons-learned-as-swtor-surrenders/ http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1080144-Will-we-EVER-get-speech-bubbles http://www.cnet.com/news/star-wars-the-old-republic-expansion-to-launch-april-14/ There is more but I am not going to post all of them but what I am pointing out is that this has been a subject that has never been fully explained to the public other than bits and peaces with false promises and it seems the last thing they said was....................You ready for it???........... You ready to hear it?????...............................They said "WE ARE WORKING ON IT". We need an update from the DEV team on this because I am telling you Nay Sayers, this is a key SOCIAL element for MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME. You guys don't understand that simple stuff like this creates advertisements for the game through Youtube.com, Twitch.TV and so on. It also creates a interaction among its players and the community. Oh and if your having performance issue than get a better comp because this game is running smoothly on mine and way better than what I remember during launch.

I think that is a fair option but I am not here to knock the game down a peg because I am really impressed with a lot of added new features that were not here in the beginning but yes, no chat bubbles is frustrating when your trying to role-play or interact with another person. This would rejuvenate some RP guild activity and play. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m170/bellatrixed/tor/chatbubbles1.jpg

Being a head IT guy doesn't make you an expert in programming, you are nothing more than a networker fixing connections to the share server of the company you work for or fixing paper jams so please knock off the stupid IT talk. I did IT in the service for over 10 years as a 25Q/25B and worked on Cisco Routers and phones. The engine is crap, it always has been and it ruined Illum Battles for PvP. And yes being gone to come back and see nothing really has changed much other than more missions and more Cartel Items is sad.

Agree, and not trying to be a Debbie Downer but damn, now it makes me wonder if this expansion hype is nothing more but just hype because if you can't implement such a simple but important content into a Social game than it makes you question the likely hood that this game will ever reach its full potential.

Really, that I did not know and yes I recently just came back (Played from beta to the time it went Free to Play). I can't say that I am not disappointed because that was a big feature a lot of us wanted back in the day when the game first came out. BioWare got a crappy engine for this beautiful game =(

The command /say should be in bubble chat, i still cannot believe this has not been implemented into the game yet. This is nice to have, not only for the community and to free up the chat window but for role-playing purposes as well. Its the small things that count the most in MMOs

No Force user in the Old Republic era compare to the Vader/Luke era, end of story. I like to point out the Force was so unbalanced in favor of the Dark side that the Prophecy came true which resulted in eradicating both Light and Dark side Force users bringing balance to the Living Force. Vader is poorly underestimated by a lot of you, not only on his martial skills but his connection to the Force and his power. Also what you see in the old movies compared too today's movies is not a fair comparison of the iconic character Darth Vader.

Thank you and good to know Dulfy.net is still around =D

Looking forward to this new expansion. Question I want to start over because a lot has changed since last I played. I have a Bounty Hunter with the old Elite War Hero gear so my question is what are the good websites to go to, to get caught up. And I got to say to BioWare that the new CGI expansion Video at the E3 show was truly a delight to watch and see for the first time. Thank you.
