im not loosing sleep over hammer station, and yes they do, they all have story mode, some you have to look for the actual mission start npc and talk to them. they give you the option. again 2022, the only ones i know for a fact dont have it are the ones im not talking about when it comes to my original point becasue those have barely any dialogue and they are usually done quick. and in case you missed it, if youre in GF youre not q'ing with bots, youre with other people and if at the least they ask to skip, you should be curtious and respect their time. and to the guy who said that not everyone had played for ten years, completely missed the point and is a poor excuse in a day and age were you can look for this information before hand with millions of websites and channels waiting to be heard and read. and its not about "how long" you or other people been playing, its about having the bloody respect for other people's time specially when asked nicely. lemme ask you do you go into a game 100% blind without knowing mechanics or tricks, cuz even if you go blind eventually youll have a question and someone will answer it be it youtube or in game. so no, that excuse only works if the game is brand new and there is nothing to accommodate certain niches.

And to that i reply thats what SOLO mode is for. I mean theres no real excuse at this point and if youre gonna be constantly distracted while in group finder youre not respecting other people's time. I considered your point of view but its irrelevant when we have modes that allow for that kind of crap. And the other issue is when asked they either kick you or make you wait out of spite. Sorry but your argument is 1000% invalid.

Listen fellas, its 2022, swtor is in its 7.1 version, there is absolutely no reason, at all, to want to experience the story through the group finder. There is a SOLO mode for that. Lately ive come across a lot of players who go into the group finder and basically experience the story as if others arent playing with them. I get you want to see whats going on, and hey so do it, but i go at it SOLO to do that, because i respect other people's time and dont waste it by selfishly making them wait while i watch the story when they probably dont have the time to be doing that. Ive seen people being kicked for even asking nicely to spacebar and honestly, if yall are gonna be a bunch of donuts about it then thats what SOLO mode was made for. RESPECT other people's time in group finder. Watch the story on your own time, not other players. Also, i know its veteran mode, but thats no reason to agro everything constantly, especially since healers dont really matter, but thats a separate issue all together. TL;DR: you wanna see the story? theres a bloody SOLO MODE for that. respect players time.

anyone else is having this problem? or am i the only one if so how fix? i tried downloading the launcher repair and installation but it doesn't work

I also believe that many of the community also dont care much for this game if all they do is flame and bash on peoples concern for the game. Its a shame that anonymity makes people ******es because its the internet.

OK, so i took the time to read the long af post on both where we were and where we are(im not insulting you, im just acknowledging how much time it must have taken you XD haha) and i must say you hit the mark buddy. As you said there might be a ew things you missed, im not entirely sure tbh, but i think you tackled whats important. In regards to that i feel the BIGGEST issue for me is the performance. I dont talk about it in the forums and you can check my posts, but the reason i dont is because ill get flamed with "stop playing" or "get a better computer/internet connection" but i have a computer that can run console games no problem, SMITE, DCUO, and many other games that the minimum require less than what i have for graphics, cpu, etc. Also i agree with you, the community does play a big role with how this game evolves, and sadly its the minority as well as misread projections(from BW and EA) that make the game not fun. I mostly play solo because im playing the story, but the performance, and many other issues that get to me, make me play less time a day, and sometimes not at all. And all i hear from the community is angry shouts of how they got cheated in the CM or how they dont have LGBT relationships, or how the GTN is unfair in pricing, and many other, as you call them, bubbles. Ive complained about the staggering amounts of stuns that make the game not fun, but that feels like more of a gameplay issue than a "im entitled to cool stuff b/c i pay so i deserve compensation". I also feel that the development team should do a better job in their advertisements. A LOT of fine print there. "Subscribe by X date and receive this" only to discover that there are further conditions to be met, or that its not and immediate thing making us expect things at a certain date only to have to wait because there was a fine print in the promotion hidden away in a blog or forum posts that only a few follow(actually thanks to situations like that ive learned to keep an attentive eye on the forums for **** like that). I strongly believe that if we band together and express things like you did will help the development team realize that they arent doing good with the game. And they do need to be more proactive with their customers. There is a plethora of games out there that are extremely proactive with their customers hence making their games last longer and be better in the long run. Sure some games are MOBA's and rehashed card games(HearthStone). But look at diablo 3, people complain about imbalances and they respond. There is a problem, there they are ready to tackle it. What im saying with this is that it feels like BW doesnt care much about us with this game, EA obviously dont give a flying **** considering their capitalist ways and the fact that they are a money hungry company that feeds off the tears of our wallets. Proactivity from devs, better performance, and acceptable RNG's with CM packs as well as in game drops and many other things that people complain about. I truly think like you that we need to make a move and express it as a community rather than our own little bubbles of entitlement. And yes i am admitting that some of my posts feel like im being entitled, and i probably am, but its mostly out of anger and disappointment from a great game turning into a chore/not fun game.

Sad thing is there are a lot of heroics that have CC happy NPC's so i get your pickiness. And yeah at this point im using Sniper, which does have a knockback, but i mostly have to improvise due to the long cooldown. Doesnt make it any more fun either way, which is my point in all this, its not fun to employ the proper tactic only to be ****ed by your cooldowns and have to suffer the lack there off the NPC's CD on the stuns. And i also thank you for being kind and offering advice without flaming me, another kind soul giving the example, thank you.

hes being a jerk, and i can answer that, yes he is implying that, which again leads me to believe they only read part of my post which is saying that it isnt fun to be bombarded with CC no matter the tactic(which doesnt always work)

thank you for being kind sir, youre a rare specimen in this aggressive thing called the internet.

its not about easy, its about having fun, and its not fun to be stunned every other second(even with your comp getting the aggro due to again randomness of the NPC which sometimes switches gears on you, especially in elite mobs) are you guys even reading everything written, it sounds like you all just read the things that only capture your attention in the sense of immediate response for insulting and telling people to shut up. even back when the game was "harder"(and i say that with equal parts seriousness and sarcasm considering i never found this game hard) the stuns where just as equally annoying, but for some reason wasnt as prominent as it is now, even when the comp can tank. and back then we didnt have the option to switch their roles which should have made it more annoying than it is now.

ive done that SIR, but even then when attention is unintentionally focused on my toon, i still get a barrage of stuns, its not about the tactics i use, its about the ridiculous amounts of it from almost every silver and gold NPC's that seems to have a cocktail of stuns, honestly it takes away the fun, and you dont have to belittle me to put your point across. typical internet im anonymous so i can be mean, seriously, and i do blame BW since its their development team who thought it would be fun to put ridiculous amounts of stun on enemies. I understand basic tactics in this game and any other game, its not rocket science, what im complaining about is the fact that it takes away the fun even with the proper tactic because of random factors. even if your companions takes aggro the enemy npc can still focus you at any time and rinse and repeat the stuns, and if you havent seen that then your tone and insult as well as your advice is moot.

honestly its getting on my nerves, and im pretty sure i am not the only one who believes this. If BW thinks that the ridiculous amounts of stuns makes battle "more challenging", it doesnt, it only makes it frikkin annoying as ****. Everytime i do a heroic or im facing multiple strong enemies i get blasted with a flood of stuns, knockbacks, and what have you, only for 2 seconds later to be bombarded with the same, over and over and over again, while my stun breaks cooldown is too long and barely lets me do anything. Seriously i know there are a lot of posts about this, but jesus why would they even consider this as fun, its too much and their cooldown on their stuns and knockback are freaking stupid low. it just makes the heroic or the mission longer than it has to be and it makes me burn out the game making me not invest too much time in it because of the tediousness of this. I know they wont change it and they wont hear our pleas, which pisses me off even more. this is way beyond ****ed up BW and EA, get your shet straight...

sadly you are right, they do have a lot of good names tied to their corporate ********, but i would have thought that at least BW, even if they belong to EA, would have a development team that cares about their product and their consumers. it is very clear that they just do whatever the ferk they want and then let us be called entitled or whiners in the forums just because we are completely displeased by their lack of intelligence. Sure this is a star wars game, but a lot of it doesnt feel like star wars(namely armor and weapons) the cartel market is a huge mess(yet people keep buying **** from it) and they have a suggestion page which they glance over twice every 4 years and only adhere to the few people who have terrible ideas for the game(which have in turn made it a mess). The people dealing with the in-game bugs are clearly not doing ****, and the new content feels like a MASSIVE cop out. Its disappointing to see such a fun game go down in flames due to a company's ineptitude. I mean look at Mass Effect 3, everyone lost their **** with the ending and they had to rapidly "fix" the problem to which many of the fans also felt like it was a cop out. At this point in time im only playing to get a feel of this world considering im writing MY own story based on my BH. Once i have everything i need to make the story i want, i will honestly not give a single cent in subs or CM(which i already am not, only when i want cosmetic things, and i get those from the GTN[i know it sounds a bit hypocritical, but truth is i havent spent a dime since last month, my sub is payed through to next month and by then ill have all i need for my story]).

in other words we are ****ed either way

get rid of your development team and the people responsible for handling bugs, they clearly suck at their job. also get rid of EA, they are ruining this game with their corporate ******** making everyone ive seen in the forums pissed at your stupid crap. sincerely, someone who gives a damn

i just find it surprising how 75% of armor in this game misses the mark of the "star wars" feel, there are some sweet armors out there that look and feel like star wars, but many of them are your typical MMO fugly armor

that and also add more names in the random generator, even then the names are unavailable even if they have hyphens or apostrophes making us waste 30 min to chose a name

agree, also on board with reducing the amount of stuns/knockbacks etc, they tend to be really annoying especially during attack rotations with ranged characters(namely smuggler and imperial agent as they get pulled off cover and ruins the fun)

am i the only one who feels like this games performance goes from bad to worse with each patch? also considering the staggering amounts of complains on many different subject, do devs even give a flying F about the majority? this game is reaching SWG levels of not caring, and since MMO's are becoming more and more obsolete, what the devs do with this game only dooms it even further... DISCUSS, open to suggestion and opinions, this is not meant for insults or the sort, just asking the questions and seeing how the community feels about it.

as a half puerto rican half irish man, i approve this message XD hahaha

i play TCG's, i understand making rare items(cards) harder to get, but even in magic or yugioh or any other game with a random chance have a better "drop rate" than the cartel market from what ive seen and experienced, sure they want to encourage more money for them, but by lowering the drop rates to a ridiculous low is ****ed up and it almost feels like a money grab with zero reward for the players. i have more chance from 3 booster packs(about $20 plus tax) to get a mythic rare card with awesome abilites than getting the rare awesome items from cartel market packs. i know its a farfetched comparison considering that tcg and mmo not the same, but its for perspective on what people keep complaining about. sure it sounds like they are ************ and whinning, but when you think about it, everyone seems to have the same complaint, and its like my father always said, if one person complains about something, thats just an entitled ***** being loud, but when a community complains about the same thing, thats when you pay attention. of course he was talking about government lol, but i believe it somewhat applies to a certain extent here.

grated youre right and im not against paying for the unlock on the account, but i honestly think its silly for some items, like the equipment tab, if i payed a lot of cc for those already why do i have to fork over 240-400 cc more for a account unlock when i already payd enough to buy the equipment, also some weapons are 500 cc and are gold, then i have to pay just 100 less to unlock in account, seems like a money grab. and it feels unnecessary. maybe lower the cost for an account wide unluck, or add the option to unlock the costume or weapon for 200-400 cc for the account since thats what you pay for unlocking either way once you buy it on one toon. i really dont mind because i have the patience to wait for extra cc and unlock when i can. but if i already spent enough cc for something i think i should be able to access it on my account not just 1 toon, especially since the legacy gets to look at the collection and unlock ****. and im talking about the items you CANT get through normal gameplay(thexans armor and lightsaber for example)

ive been seeing a lot of complaints about the same things all across the forums, especially in general discussion, to which i ask, do devs look at the forums? do they even care about the customers they keep pissing off? and are they even trying to do anything to at least calm down the majority of gamers who talk about the same topics over and over again?

what sucks is how the forums are full to the brim on complaints about the cartel market and yet they dont seem to do anything about it except make it worse... says a lot about how much they really care about their costumers

i think that if you buy a cartel market item it should be unlocked to the account period, it seems silly to have to unlock it on every toon on my account if i already spend the coins
