I think that BioWare created a very special game, and not sure how anybody can complain about re-playability. You have 8 different stories here. In every other game there are only few quests that are specific to classes and they are mostly a great bore. Go ahead and level 8 characters in EQ2 for example... pure grind... When first time me and my friend started questing together and I noticed that there are different dialogs just because there were two of us and that NPCs actually were noticing that, I was amazed. It is so absolutely unique and great it makes me want to do the same quests alone and in company just so I can see these differences. Like the quest you get from the Intelligence in entrance to Kaas City (Spy quest) and he says wow there are more of you here LOL. He was so surprised /grin. I love the game, I love my companions and their unique characters... I hope BioWare will continue to add more story and more Voice Over and cut scenes as this is what makes this game so attractive. From what I see devs are doing, they actually listen to players. I am here for as long run...

Staying for a long run. Leveled Jedi Sage to 50 and still have 15 alts to get to 50 /grin Alternating alts as I can't stomach playing Sith side alts more then 3 hours at a time without having nightmares /grin I am going to have all classes maxed one day LOL Ok, I know I am altoholic... shrug

Yeah... happens a lot:) Maybe cuz he is so huge... we should have an option to reduce size of companions... other games have it (EQ2) Mini-Khem Val /grin

Quote from other thread "Actually, if you are doing any kind of challenging content, those seconds do matter! Also, if you play a melee class that requires you to actually pay attention to the environment instead of just staring at cooldown buttons, the problem is 10 times worse." So true!!!!!!

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=193383&page=52 52 pages of feedback on the issue

Yeah unless the ability is blue like all Jedi Knight's. Good luck. Horrible change.

I play Jedi Sentinel right now and I am the big fan of SWTOR. Yesterday because of CDs I gave up and quit game after 15 minutes... today I am not sure if I will even log in. I will probably wait until the issue is resolved or start another toon. Too tired of staring all the time at my hotbar, while before patch I was barely even watching it, as it was obvious when my abilities are up. Way to go BW. Maybe for some people it is not a big deal, but for me it's huge. Change it back ASAP!!!!!! Don't fix what does not need fixing.

The change to abilities on hotbar was a horrible mistake. It is so annoying to hit ability that looks like should work... but it's not working. It's one of the most annoying things if you use fast rotations. The only way to work around it is to wait few seconds after ability looks ok... and then hit it Before a change I could just baraly watch hotbar, because it was easy to see when to hit what, now I have watch just my hotbar and ignore the game around... this is almost a game breaker for me at this point. I logged out after 15 minutes, because it was more like a chore then entertainment. So bad idea!!!!!!!

Or change the way how the cooldown looks to a clock-like. I think Rift has it this way, not sure. Still not sure if it would resolve the problem on long cooldown. Sure thing is that it is very annoying. Many many times today I was hitting abilities thinking they should work, just to find out that nope, it is still cooldown. Costed me one death on tough fight, because instead of watching what mob is doing was watching the cooldowns... Definitely change it back or make it optional, but to be honest, who would pick something which is not working....

Soooooo Agreeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Digression I was a Founder in LOTRO. True is, that reward keeps me playing it from time to time if I want a change. But it was $199 lifetime membership. It paid off after a year and a half, and though LOTRO is F2P, the VIP status is still nice /grin We need better incentives that the medal /grin

Yes, I agree with OP

Gonna do it right now!!!!!!!

When I logged on at first I thought no big deal. Until I tried to use ability and nothing happened. Very annoying. Please BioWare give us back the hotbar the way it was. And never fix things that are not broken LOL

Just got to 50 and started new alt. Plenty people running on Coruscant and I was there in #170 instance (or whatever it is called). Most of players without Legacy title, which would mean in my opinion that these are new players, who just started. I don't think that this game will die anytime soon

You have to interrupt him when he casts, otherwise he is going to one shot you.

My Jedi Sage is level 48 right now and even though forums say it's the most boring story I enjoy it. ") This game is different. First time ever playing MMO I rush to 50 not because I want to be 50 and do endgame stuff, but I am so imaptient to start a new class so I can enjoy the story again and again and again. And then when I have them all to 50 /grin... I am sure there will be enough to do for a long time to go. Crafting, getting companion affection, getting uber gear... I guess every game is like life... if you are happy inside you can find joy in everything you do, if you are not... and you look for somebody or something to make you happy... then you are going to be disappointed no matter what Anyway... I love this game and though I know it lacks some stuff and has issues I am willing to give devs time to fix it and improve it so I can enjoy it even more. I played EQ2 from 2004, LOTRO, RIFT, AoC, Vanguard, Aion... aside of EQ2 which was a great game, none of other games could hold my interest even though I am big fan of LOTRO. This game has amazing story... and though some people don't care much about it... it makes me immersed in the world. No other game could do it so far...

Here's my 50c. How many of you guys would prefer that this game is still in production because of the bugs and unpolished endgame, and instead of playing it right now - reading forums for another year LOL. Give them a time... fast fixes can break more things than they fix... I am sure that tons of people in Bioware are working hard to get this game better so we all can enjoy it for years to come.

Level 44 right now but I have 7 alts ranging from 10 to 15... Maybe I would be 50 if I would not read forums LOL

LOL... just an idea... Inverse the effect if you are really evil... nice grass in distance and sparse around you /grin

I agree. Getting pretty dizzy LOL especially if on speeder. This definitely need to be fixed...

EQ2 does not have official server forums as well. They got rid of the server forums lately. Well, there is EQ2Flames forum which has all server forums and is used by most of EQ2 players http://www.eq2flames.com/ I am sure that somebody will create SWTORFlames Forum /grin It's just a matter of time.

Skysinger Fan of Rhapsody:) Equivalent od Skywalker... sort of LOL... My blade sings to the sky most of the time....

Yes, signed for 6 months and will continue... I am in for a long term... I always loved BioWare games and I absolutely love Storyline. This is my Dream Game. I love crafting here... LOL I played EQ2 from 2004 until now. I loved it, but the Storyline could not keep my interest. When I stopped to raid, it was just a grind. The last expansion was a joke imo, so I cancelled my 2 accounts... technically as it's now free to play... Though I have to admit that I am missing many options in SWTOR that I was used to. But, I know that as MMO progresses it adds things to make it more functional, so lack of some functions is not a big deal. All this will come in time. So I am going to get my Jedi Sage to 50 and then level my alts as I am altoholic LOL. They already waiting in row all level 10 or so... (all seven of them /grin) My Skysinger Family is here for GOOD!!!!!!!!!
