[Please make an announcement about Open World PvP!]

I agree with your nothing statement. But can't agree with the second part. We will see the same amount of additions in content over the next six months as we did the last six months. Why? Because the resources to create new content were depleted by them having to put those resources toward designing QoL systems. Now, instead of those resources being returned to design content for the general population, they will be assigned to overhauling the platform for F2P and designing interfaces and the store, etc for that. The next six months will see 1 new wz, 1 new flashpoint, 1 new OP, and maybe the level cap increase if we are lucky.

 

that sounds very realistic, but we can hope.

I made another topic about this same thing at the same time how ironic, it will probably be consolidated here or deleted.

[Where is Ilum?]

It has been awhile now and its removal and promised return have slipped under the radar as every other thing seems to hit the fan. So as we head into game update 1.4 and F2P on the horizon, is it still being worked on?

Can we expect to get a compeling OPvP in the near future?

[HK-51 Revealed]

glad you pulled this companion and put in more VO that definately sounded more like the hk we loved in kotor.

[Fear of loseing a name]

pretty upset right now my day 1 early access character is in for a name change. i refuse to play this game until they give me my name back. it was named before the bastion even f(&*^*&^&* existed .

[Helpless]

roll on a pvp server next time, problem solved.

[Transfer to Server of Choice.]

From what i could tell, it sounds like they will be opening new servers that will be free to transfer to.

Which will make it easier to regulate things like names.

I would be a little upset if i had to transfer my day1 early access character to an existing server and couldn't keep the name because someone used it last month.

[It kills me to admit it...]

The forum logic never surprises me in the amount of stupidity associated with it. Going to 1 server because you didn't feel comforatable with the population on your server is genius.. really. Listen to why. Your pulling all the populations from the other servers and dropping the population of the server you were on and causing it to be dead and people to be frustrated because they only want one character and in thus they unsub. In addition to that, these servers I don't think were originally intended to hold 2000+ people.

 

I logged into my server and i was the only person on the fleet. i than rolled on the fatman.

I don't care if someone else is having fun. i pay a monthly fee so that i can have fun.

at peak time i still end up playing the same 8 people when a que actually pops. 2-3 matches later they stop queing after my team beats them repeatedly.

How is it worse than making them wait 3-4 hours to get in a match only to get trounced by my premade.

[Sound issue STILL?!]

just trying to upset the only players they haven't yet, the ones still playing for the story.

[1.3 on PTS?]

You do realize that ranked warzones were pulled BECAUSE of testing feedback on the PTS, right?

 

there was almost no feedback on pts about this system as those that where copied over only tested the pve content then went back to their live servers. most posts (which were not many) said they where qued for most of the focused tests that where slated and got in a match or two at most and then it was not even a full match up.

 

Maybe next time they will take guilds that only pvp instead of just those who cleared NM modes

 

i logged in on my lowby 34 during one , couldn't help test much due to ranked being 50 only.

 

On topic : i doubt 1.3 will go to test , it will be tested internally than go straight to live, much like the patches we get weekly.

[Community Q&A – May 11th, 2012 Blog Discussion]

Will RE a blue item be different than RE a green item in the type or quantity of resources recieved for making the augment kits?

[FREE Character Transfers are Coming!]

I don't think the free transfers will be to get people on heavy servers to transfer. more likely it will be to get low populated servers to move to servers that are standard.

[Is The Fatman Saving SWTOR?]

The sub loss is not bad but it comes at the same time as they opened the 3 asia/pacific servers. so many servers that where decently populated where left weakened by the two events. which than began a mass exodus to more populated servers, making these servers barren. If Cross server WZ's would have been added during this time line it would have counter balanced alot of elder game player, but it was delayed until TBD.

This was poor implemnting of servces and someone should have their knucles racked with a ruler.

So now they will have to create a transfer system, that will encourage those who havent already rerolled/quit to merge themselves on mid range servers.This will take priority over x-server, but only slightly.

With these two systems on the burner i would bet open world pvp (ilum revamp) has been set back even further in the to do list.

There are several servers that reach heavy/full RP-pvp RP Pve PVP( i believe 2 pvp 2 pve and 1 each for rp and rp-pvp), but the fatman is the only one that seems to never go below standard at any hour.

[Once u leave a MMO do u come back?]

LOTRO and DDO I'm done and gone forever. Turbine's "free to play" policy removed content from the game that players purchased in expansions and their efforts to non-stop nickel-and-dime their playerbase to death disgust me.

.

 

Turbine is the reason i cringe when i hear Life Time Sub brought up anywhere involving MMOs

[You trying to make us UNSUB?]

I did the grind, and happily except the changes. Why wouldn't you want those in your wz to be geared?

I wish they would get rid of the pvp gear grind and spend that time and resources on reskins, new maps, and balancing.

[Name one thing that would make you play for another three months]

cross server wz ques. So i can pvp on my server when i want to , instead of during "peak" hours.

Some information on where the world pvp is at.

[Feedback request from James Ohlen - potential future planets]

Dantooine!

[Feedback request from James Ohlen - In-game events]

i liked the limited time items amd unique companion customizations. the story was ok.

i like that your doing them.

i didn't like that the rhakghoul serum was not persistant after death as a pvp'r..

I didn't like that the Armor reward was light armor only. So after the first two pieces i didnt bother going back.

[Official Q&A Thread for April 27th, 2012 Q&A Blog Post]

Can items like mod 25a be RE to learn the schematic?

as a cybertech 400 it seems like we got the short end, we can now sell the 2 speeders we could make, which cost to much to make and with all the other speeders now available through other means, pointless. mods and armoring we can make have 0 end game appeal (current craft ends with 22). we are left with grenades which again cost to much to make to make it worth while to get to market.

[Exclusive? Um...]

I pre-ordered and i have no problem with the inclusion of the orange/black color crystal which is available in the game and not just as part of a live event which will end. Don't know what all the fuss is about honestly.

You all should be happy that its easy to upgrade your crystals as the game moves forward , they could have just as easily not added in an option to upgrade any of them and kept them for low level use like every mmo game before them.

I honestly hope they chuckle at this QQ topic and move on to the next topic.

[Update on Ranked Warzones in Game Update 1.2]

Thie news is upsetting, many people in my guild including myself looked forward to 8 man ques and have been asking for it for a very long time (beta)even when it was 12v12 wz).

None of us where asking for another gear grind.

Hope this new warzone has wings and a halo because as of me logging out last night, many players in my guild unsubbed, you will need a miracle to get them back

 

Good or Bad im here until july when my sub runs out, so i cant threaten with unsubbing.

 

All i can do is worry about how dead my mostly light server is going to be which had a 3 hour que at launch.

[Feedback request from James Ohlen - "Your Star Wars fantasy"]

Really tough choices, i went with at-at because one of my favorite scenes as a kid was when they took one down during the battle on Hoth.

i would be happy with most of the choices.

Not sure what capitol ships would be other than another place to stand around in.

[Look who's ranting about 1.2 and rated wz's]

this would have been funnier if i had not seen this same clip used a hundred times for other things on youtube. its youtube groupie clip, everyones had a turn with it.

[Feedback request from James Ohlen - Open World PvP]

Some of the most epic battles i got to take part in where in t3 of warhammer and t4 had moments where it was awesome as well . but the player abused system in t4 usually left it dull and lifeless as far as opvp.

Aions pvpve was decent as well but to many S**** Va**** made it unbearable.

If you can find a way to keep a balance of faction on servers than i'm all for it.

We have all had a pretty good taste of what unbalanced opvp can feel like in swtor.

Hopefully have areas that are confined as well as open , open world pvp doesn't have to be in the literal sense.

 

Is the hero engine horrible with collision detection ? why isnt there any in a game that suppose to be about immersion. how real is it that i can run right through other players.

[Splitting the GtN markets is a poor idea]

the problem with nar shadaa GTN is its accessibility. this legacy one wont change that because of the buy in it might as well be on nar shadaa. i used the gtn once on my level 50 to trade credits to an alt in the other faction.

with mail being opened so that you can mail to any of your characters i dont see any need for it at all now.

Its to bad they aren't bringing back the pvp mission terminal on your ship instead.

[The Legacy system is the final nail in the coffin of playable wookiees]

Its not that there haven't been its that GL said there will never be any more.
