I don't know when this started but I just noticed that two of my characters with hair 12 on my male human toons have a slight clip through the top of the head and thus looks wierd and like he may be balding... Hope this can be fixed soon for now I just notice it all the time...

I have notice the GC getting much worse since 2.0 and some of the latest patchs and even though this has been a major issue since the begining the game it is beyond lazy and stupid that this has not been addressed properly and has not been given any form of statement if they are even trying to fix the dam thing... How much dps and healing I lose per second because of this horrible bug is just plain ridiculous and have had one friend leave way back just because of this issue!.. I know the game engine is a piece of crap to work with and the staff is reduced to almost zero but for pete sakes do something about it instead of saying lame excuses like oh just change your setting to 1.0 cast even when that doesn't even work either...

Question: Should I get rid of all my crit for power, reduce my surge for more alacrity, and switch my relics to the newer ones for my Sage Healer? I am a Sage Seer level 55 and have 31% crit from gear and buffs, 945 healing power , 75% surge, and 4% alacrity. My Relics are both Elite War Hero and all my augments are 28 advance resolves. I can achieve 9+k on Deliverance, 3k per tick on Healing Trance when crits, and 1000 per tick on Salvation. My gear is all 69 with my belt and braces being 72. My crit is very consistent and especially for Healing Trance when using rejuvenate. I am curious if I would be even more better if I did zero crit and all power and put 5 alacrity and 5 surge instead of 8 surge and 2 alacrity.

My apologies for not reading your post all the way through. I have been venting a bit so I have not been clearly paying attention as closely as I should be to post and acted out without looking ahead. I just wanted this game to succeed and truly believed it had potential to do so, but bad decisions nd poor choices made by EA/bioware have completely ruined it.

I agree with you on this sad defense people are trying to make for EA/bioware nickel and diming everything in this game. It's like many gamers have stockholm syndrome on here... I have just had it with the game and will not be resubscribing.

If f2p was on the longterm plan from the get go, then they would not have brought it in so poorly as they did and would have better took pages from other free to play hybred models. EA was expecting this to be a WOW kiler or in numbers thus f2p was not even in the equation or as a back up plan till after launch...

Here is the problem with that idea. It is a short term cash gain instead of longterm gain through investing in community and the subscriber base. If they actually used some of the new revenue to fix the broken game thus making it more enjoyable for even the average joe to play they could increase that revenue even more if you put the thought into it. The people that keep a game lasting for a longtime are the veteran players that subscribe and do everything in the game and support it when it is up or down. Without us the game will just be like if it was run by Zynga and we see where they have been going financially. Longterm investments have almost always beat short term cash grabs if the company knew how to actually handle things.

I have held my tongue on issues of the game and only gave some feedback on bugs and ingame problems here and there since beta. I have blindly supported this game since the start even after all my friends let to one MMO or another and I have zero justification or reason to keep playing a game that has no respect for longtime players and or fix the issues that have been here since launch. Don't judge me as if I am acting childishly or have no right in saying that this game has done nothing to fix the many legitimate complaints this game has...

Here is the problem though. The game has been buggy since launch and in many areas has become worse overtime, many patchs actually cause more problems than fix, the achievement system does not even work properly in that it does not at time count any of your completions of past or present, they have had almost 2 years of live game time to fix these problems or better adress them yet have not shown much in any aspect, and the recent updates have mostly been cartel focused with little subscriber/veteran focus ingame content. You can't defend a game that has done little in fixing it's major issues this long in...

Cryptic has some great idea, but is cursed with bad game developers and marketing... That can be applied to almost every failed MMO though...

They had a trailer teasing the cathar, hk 51, and 55 cap all together a year ago... Maybe if they thought things through before announcing stuff or making false promises, people would not have the right to be angry then...

This is a poor defense for features that almost every MMORPG have for free... Also the monthly cartel coins wouldn't be a thing if it was not for the game failing EA/bioware expectations or atleast not to the state of everything being cartel only now... We don't even get much a month even if say you make 700 cartel coins each months for the cost to get anything a subscriber may actually desire since the pack are horribly random or gear is overpriced. They intentionaly take ingame gear out that was once accessible and add more cartel items instead. Most of the recent quality of life content has almost all been cartel only and nothing for subscribers ingame...

I have had it with the false promises and lack of subscriber respect of EA/bioware... More than twenty friends of mine in game have left for the lack of bug fixes, player content, customer support, and the more recent focus on zero subscriber content and bug fixes for more cartel/cash grab junk that should been free for subscribers in some form or earned through events. I have been in game since beta and have stayed through the good and the bad, but I have had enough and will not be resubscribing or coming back after all this disrespect and lack of future game investment instead they focus on short term cash grabs... EA/bioware know this game is dead so they focus on milking it before putting it down instead of actually trying to revive it and focus on longterm success... I will not be constantly lied to and just deal with it being ok to just nickle and dime everything that was promised and should be ingame for free that is also free in almost every other MMORPG. The excuse that we get monthly cartel coins that can go to these things is just a poorly made defense to milk something that was promised to be free for subscribers anytime they wish to use and not have to waste cartel coins on something that was promised to us... Also the lack of fixing the game and that most patchs make the game worse is beyond the worse of see in any mmorpg I have ever played and it is not like you are even trying...

I wish to adress a few major problems in game that have caused a dozen of my friends and guild mates to quit subscribing and playing SWTOR all together. Here is a few of them from Jedi Covenant by player name, Sotty, Rood, John-specko, Der'rick, Vivean, Kalic, K'age, and Catra-wan are some that have left because of the below reasons. 1. As usual is in-game end content, current dailies being to repetitive and a chore to do, and nothing for legacy 30-50 content or any of worth . 2. Major game bugs that cause disconnections, major lag spikes, enemy glitchs that make operations more annoying instead of challenging, and Global Cooldown bug that still persist to this day. 3. Lack of pvp and guild content. 4. The current all focus on Cartel Market and nothing new for months for subscibers in new gear except the new event and reskins of old gear from the Reputation Vendors... 5. The now announced that new races like Cathar will cost Cartel Coins for Subscribers is a slap in the face to what was originally stated long ago that it would be free to subscribers. 6. Making the Cosmetic Customization is wrong for many reason and more so for subscribers. Reason 1: most MMOs you can do with in-game gold/credits. Reason 2: it has been mentioned long ago back in the start of the game when it would come out subscibers would not have to pay extra for it and Cartel Coins is paying extra nomatter what you say. Reason 3: Just because subscibers get a small monthly Cartel Coins bonus does not mean we should be forced then to use it on changing our looks which is free practically everywhere else and even our pets have a semi-version of it for free since game launch... 7. Personally most end gear and the new stuff from test look like horrid bad fan art and all the good looking stuff is going straight to Cartel Market which is completely unfair to subscribers. p.s. If this keeps up with no improvements at the end of my subscription I will be ending my time with this game.
