Let us play the story lines in any order.. As a returning player.. I went onto new content.. I played the onslaught story line.. But somehow missed out on all the other little stories between The Eternal throne and Onslaught..
Warning messages?? Yup.. And retarded.. I should be able to play them for the first time in any order.. What about boosted characters?? Can they go back??
-
Can someone point me to another MMORPG which lets you replay *anything* that isn't a dungeon or raid or recurring event quest?
(I suppose you can make a case about Guild Wars 1's "Missions", except that I'd mark them as the equivalent to e.g. replaying [sTORY] mode FPs.)
WOW allows you to skip.. And allows you to go back.. Nuff said..
-
Justify.
Why *should* there be?
Because it is fun to go through the stories again.. You can play the eternal throne stories again.. Why not the other stories??
The other issue I have is if you play the stories out of order, you can't go back to the ones you missed..
I should be able to play the game the way I want in the order I want..
Either that or just not give your character the option to skip ahead..
-
Is there a way to replay old stories?? I notice that you can replay Both eternal throne stories using the chapter option?
What about all the rest?? Mekeb, Iokath, ect. ect,
If there is no way then there should be..
Thanks!!

They'll look at their metrics and see that many people do the 20 warzones and interpret it as it being something people want.
It doesn't matter how reluctant, unwilling, disgruntled, resigned, angry, passive people were when they did it. They did it, so they must have enjoyed it, because the metrics say so. And because people obviously enjoyed it so much, there will be more of it in the future.
I can pretty much guarantee you that no rat wants to walk through the maze to get the cheese.. Whatever their metrics are, they shouldn't look upon us as rats in a maze..
They can justify it all they want.. They will lose customers if stuff like this continues..

I am on a PVE server.. Why am I being forced to do PVP for a PVE quest?? Why am I forced to PVP at all??
Does it matter to you Eric that the population of the PVP servers are pretty much non existent?? Does it matter to you that Bioware had the same issue in August, Sept, and Nov. in 2011??
Do not force PVP on your players.. Let them play the game how they want.. You provide the park.. We will decide how we want to play on it.. Got it??

Question 2 is not letting me answer.. It is only letting me select 2 things.. Then when I clock done to submit survey, it is saying that I didn't answer question 2..
So here is my responses to your survey..
Question 1..
Other..
New content and story.. I would prefer a game to play instead of gimmicks to get my subscription..
Question 2..
Least fav was pretty much everything.. The mount is sorta cool, but not needed... Early access was sorta cool but not needed.. Early access turned out to be nothing more than another week of beta testing.. Perhaps next time you should allow 2 weeks.. 1 week where we test the game and another week to actually play it..
Question 3...
Other..
More content.. It isn't about the gimmicks.. It is about the game.. More story.. More things to do.. It would also be nice if you didn't take from your players, and then call it content to get what was taking back.. (Companions).. While I like the new interface for companions.. I do not like the new system for conversations.. Nor do I like the fact that my character no longer talks.. In many ways, I do not view this expansions as good for the game.. I am already off playing other games again and considering unsubscribing.. This expansions appears to be what Cataclysm was to World of Warcraft.. At least it is for me.. We will see how it fairs with others..
And that is it.. Submit..

Doesn't change that you still referred to your opinion as the 'correct' one, and when I do go back and look I'll be sure to see if that match up to what appears in the various people who quoted you to ensure you haven't made any 'edits.'
It is.. There is no justification for making us do PVP to get a companion.. No reason at all.. That would be like making you do PVE to get PVP gear..
You all are just attempting to justify it for your own needs.. We didn't get the companions using PVP, why should we have to start now??
So yes.. My view shared by others is the correct one.. It is the only one.. That doesn't mean we both aren't entitled to our opinion.. But even opinions can be right or wrong..
PVP'ers simply have no justification for their view.. Reasons like cosmetic or otherwise belittling our opinion and devaluing M1-4X is absurd and irrelevant.. It also shows that you have no real reason for your views..
-
That's quite a turnaround from yesterday when you were saying that your opinion was the 'right' one and the rest of us were 'wrong.'
Nope.. I said it then to... See for yourself..
-
I'm sure you think you are not insulting at all for thinking PVP players should not get any unique rewards whatsoever just because you dont like it.
And where did I ever say that?? Please quote??
I never made such a statement.. Reading would be nice..
No.. I am not insulting.. I have held the position that you are entitled to your opinions and we are entitled to ours.. How can anyone possibly be insulted by that??
-
Hmm I've never done any Warzone in SWTOR so:
- Can you queue for the Warzone naked and use dance emote inside?
- How long does a Warzone last?
- Can you queue as full group ? I'm thinking it would be the best solution for PvE players who just want in for the companion. A full team of naked dancing players. Then everybody is happy. Nobody in team to complain, and the opposite team gets easy points. Do it 20 times and done.
I'd join you for this as well.. We can at least try to make it fun..

Good thing your humble opinion has no bearing on the situation. Just because you don't think that PvP belongs in MMO does not mean it has no place in it. Also, not a PvP'er, I'm mainly a story player but I also engage in other activities such as PvP and Operations, and even GSF from time to time. The point of these companions which seems to pass over so many people's heads is to reward people with diverse playstyles. Your playstles isn't as diverse? You don't get all the cookies in the cookie jar. Just because this is a story focused MMO doesn't mean Bioware wants to drop all the other aspects, and they have said as much. These 2 companions exist to encourage people to PvP, there quests were designed for this exact function. However, for you and those like you, they also made the quest completely optional (a concept MajikMyst doesn't seem to grasp) and able for people to not do and not miss anything, other than what amount to a cosmetic item/pet/mount. Yes, companions now fall into this category.
We could say the same about your opinion.. Just saying...
I grasp more than you think.. But I am not the one throwing insults and being rude or calling others out without cause..
-
Those players can skip the quest. It isn't required to continue, they aren't 'forced' to PvP.
You do not have the right to make that call.. 4X was originally got by doing a PVE quest.. It is retarded to take him away and demand we PVP to get him back..
How about your stick to the facts and keep your views about how others should play the game to yourself..
Nobody forces you to post here.. Nobody asked for or wanted your opinion.. What is the difference??
-
I went to go talk to Treek on my ship and I was not expecting this..... click here
Please help her Bioware!
Holy smokes.. LOL
That is beyond help.. You should have got her fixed..
That is a disturbing pic though..
-
I think you missed the patch notes. You'll get them back tomorrow. You didnt get them this week due to a bug.
Gosh darn bugs!!!!
Thanks!! Good to see!!
-
Sorry if you feel I was ignoring the rest of your post but you did say you want your old companions back. So I was letting you known you can pull them out once they fix the terminal. It would have been nice if we could use them from the start but at least we don't have to do a lot of missions to get them back if we already had them. As for the companion weapons yeah that's a bummer but for me not a huge deal.
Yes they should have done more testing and gotten the bugs out. Honestly after playing this long it's anything but a surprise for me, as I came in expecting there to be a lot of bugs it wasn't such a big deal for me. I was pleased I made it through the chapters without getting stuck. I wish the influence was legacy or at least character wide too, so you wouldn't have to grind out each one but sadly its not. Even so I for the most part like the expansion, I see that for you it was a let down by it.
I wasn't meaning you.. Sorry if you thought I was..
It isn't the story.. I am happy with how they did the story.. That part was a kick in the pants..
But ok.. I have my ship back.. I am a commander of this alliance.. At least with some of my other toons, the missing companions will be a spouse.. My consular never married.. Still that being said, I am attached to Nadia, Tharan and Holiday, Zenith, and others.. I am glad I at least got Qyzen..
My ship is empty now.. HK and Treek are there.. Which by the way, why aren't they missing?? I found C2-N2.. Did his comfort quest.. Why isn't he on my ship now?? Do I really have to do this weekly 10 times?? (See Dulfy)
I am just looking at the changes and many of them I don't like.. The story is awesome.. I like many of the new companions.. Senya is pretty awesome.. As is Lana..
But there is nothing about the other companions.. Will we get them back and if so when??
I don't like the new communication system.. I like it when my character tanks.. This new system, there is no character talking or companion.. I miss that..
While I see the benefit of all the companions doing all three roles.. They all have fewer skills for each spec... There also seems to be less individuality between the companions.. They only real difference is faction.. Lana uses dark heals and Senya uses light heals.. But both use the same exact skills..
I guess I am feeling that they could have done the new story like Revan, and just gave us a new op and a couple of flashpoints and it would have been better.. Oh and not take our companions..
-
Well, you can turn them into Data Crystals, although the exchange rate's pretty bad. Lord knows that's what I'm going to do.
I haven't been able to bring myself to queue for warzones yet, but if 4.1 comes round with no indication a non-warzone option is coming, well... sorry to my teammates.
I hear you.. I am 5 into the quest.. No wins, been yelled at 4 times.. This is not fun in the slightest.. PVP'ers in my experience haven't always been the nicest of people..
-
The unique rewards I described are not CM items.
If M1 or Pierce was originally your companion you dont need to pvp to get them back either.
If you want a unique companion reward theres nothing wrong with asking you to work for them in equally unique ways.
I want a companion that was given while doing a class quest.. I shouldn't have to PVP for any companion no matter what class I am..
It is that simple..
-
The argument for having "another way for the sensitive players who dont want to do group content because people can be mean and stuff", is problematic in the sense that people who are ok with and want to do group content of this sort are constantly getting their rewards taken from them by players who are upset they cant obtain a reward they way they like playing..
I think you are confusing sensitive players with the Cartel Market..
Look.. We didn't get our companions by PVP in the first place.. There is no justification to take them away and force anyone to PVP to get them back.. We also didn't have a choice as to who was made available to us to unlock.. I would just assume to have My consular companions, Nadia and company, Senya, and Lana, and be done with it.. I see no need for any others.. Personally.. I am not sure I am liking the number I have now as it is.. I can still only send out 6 companions for crew skills and only have one questing with me.. Theoritcally I only need 7 companions.. What do I need all the other ones for?? I mean I am glad we have choices.. But seriously.. Why should I have to PVP to get a companion??
-
There is a terminal where you can get your old companion back, its bugged should be fixed tomorrow I believe. The gear change I think is a good thing as you don't have to worry if your companion hasn't been geared from the planet you got them on (need with the number of companions we can now get), but I can see why some people doin't like it. As for the PVP companion if you were a sith warrior or trooper you can get them back without doing PVP from what I understand. Like you I wish they had offered a none PVP mean to get them, forcing PVP is not a good for either party. I'm sorry you didn't like the changes, for the most part I'm enjoying it. Wish the companion influence wasn't as a big of a grind but it's something to work for.
Ah the grind.. I am terrified to level any other toons to 65.. I suppose it will be a matter of time before they make the influence legacy..
-
I think you are missing the point..
I want my companions back in 4.0..
Thanks by the way for ignoring the rest of my post..
-
Let's see.. The story was fun.. Playing the first 9 chapters was pretty good.. But so far, that is all that was good..
Where are my old companions?? All of them??
Why aren't any companions on my ship besides HK and Treek?? Even my ship droid is not here and I did both of their quests...
Why must I PVP to get a companion?? I didn't PVP to get them..
Corso can't use a blaster??
Aric Jorgam can't use an Assault cannon??
What are you doing??
Heck, in this new communication thing you all have.. My character and my companion don't talk.. Is this EA's way of attempting to save money??
Maybe next time you all can just sell the expansion.. Although, at this point it would be a little iffy as to whether or not I would buy it..
Also taking away their gear was a bad move.. You essentially have to make them god like for the content.. We have no way to give them better gear if they suck for the content..
There just seems to be a lot of bad choices here..
Not to mention making early release beta test it for you.. There are way to many bugs in this release..
I don't want to get into that.. But still.. This is not what I expected and it doesn't live up to the hype...
Can I just have my old companions back?? Next time you want to make a bunch of changes like this.. Just give us some new ops and flashpoints instead...
Sorry.. Just how I feel about it..
-
Oh no, I'm not taking it that way, especially since you took the time to make sure I understood that you weren't being mean about it. If more people did that, the forums would be a nicer place.
I realize, they're trying to get more people into it, because it seems that there aren't enough pvpers to keep the queues going at a reasonable rate. I thought maybe they'd found a way to link the servers so all the pvpers from all the servers could be drawn from, for their matches. But it seems that's not the case, instead they've put companions behind these pvp requirements, and I feel cheated, because I didn't pvp to get the companions in the first place. I got Pierce and Forex from doing the class stories (just like everyone else), so I feel like I should be able to get them back the same way. They might have redesigned the system for them to now be pvp affiliated, but that does in fact take them from me, cause I had them before, and now I don't.
So, in a sense, I am being forced if I want them back. I've pvp'd here before, and I don't enjoy it. I'm not terribly good at it, and my desire to improve goes right out the window whenever I see someone calling someone a terribad and stuff. It hurts the ego, self confidence. This is why I stay away from group content of any sort, be it raids, or pvp. I'm just not up for the abuse, I'm sensitive.
The main reason, I don't want this to be encouraged, is what happens, if Bioware thinks this is a smashing idea, and decide to put other companions behind this kind of barrier too? Even if they stuck them behind OPs, it would still be the same effect. There must be a better way to help the pvpers get more action, without making pvers/story people like me, have to do that. I'm willing to work for it, but I'd rather work for it by myself.
S'pose we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
/thread!!!
Well stated!!
Case closed..

Is this the same as the Pierce quest Imp-side that I just finished? If so I'd like to amend my previous comments to:
*** are you silly muppets complaining about? You get 1,000 (
) WZ comms just for completing it. BW pls add more of these.A million WZ comms is just as useless to me as 1000.. Not exactly a reason for me to PVP.. Just saying..
) WZ comms just for completing it. BW pls add more of these.
Linear story sucks!!

First of all.. I never denied there was a warning..
The story being linear is irrelevant.. We can play the Eternal throne and Empire stories again.. Case closed on that argument..
My issue is why can't we play all the stories again.. There is just no reason not to..
If you don't like the idea then don't play them again.. But there is simply no reason to not allow us to go back and play chapters we liked over again.. Or play them for the first time after skipping ahead..
There simply no reason to NOT add this functionality.. They already did it once.. So it can be done.. Just add the other content.. No problem..
