There is your problem not the gear system once fully geared on all toons there is no rewarding endgame to a degree.

New gearing sytem is the best mmo gearing imo. Amps may be a credit sink but you can just wait till you get a mod with the amp you want drop from loot for free or only re roll to 50k cost then trash that mod, if you got nothing you want and wait for another to reroll amps at a cheaper price. Maybe, play more then 5 mins.

Don't really want to download the pts just to test an event quest. Was just asking since this content is very intriguing and I really like that its something besides kill these etc. But if its very unenjoyable with a high ping, I will probably do it once and forget.

Will this event be enjoyable for Australians that have to play with 280 ping? Zoist's vehicle mission is very laggy, many times you teleport backwards and miss animations.

Great report. Good to know vote to kick is being looked at. A Seasonal report should be enough, maybe a spontanious post if you ever feel like you need to step in to update the community on some info.

Thank you to the Devs for this amazing gear system! The more I play, I find out more about it and it just blows my mind how well thought out this gearing system is. Just so many little things like having new MH/OH shells not having amps so we can still use our custom weapons. Just shows how much thought has went into this. So much about 6.0 is great, just didn't look good on paper for people but in practice has turned out to be amazing. My journey to 306 has been very fun, I'm glad I didn't just farm HS like most people did and got to play the game how I want.

Sorry to hear this. All online games are like this these days, I'm afraid. Best thing is to find some decent people and stay away from guilds with kids. Sucks that you got used, but you must of known buying someone else sub time and cartel items was a huge mistake. RP servers and guilds are known to be less toxic but I personally haven't ever been in one.

Um you said this..... Before insulting someone maybe write your post better. In what world doesn't this mean you want to op while leveling? First SWTOR and WoW have the exact same game-play, both tab target MMO's. One games game-play isn't easier to play at all you just need to learn a class. "Fast attacks"? What does that even mean? Do you mean a haste stat lowering the GCD and cast times? If so, that's an end game stat and its called ALACRITY in SWTOR which is also an endgame stat. "Speed boosts"? Are you talking about class moves like force speed? If so, most classes in WoW have something like that. Or are you talking about something like rocket boots and the 150% mount speed? Again you say I cant read when your post isn't clear at all and frankly doesn't make sense.

I have no exp with the current high end gear for SWTOR but before Ossus wasn't the only way to get NiM tier gear was to do NiM gods? SWTOR also has a history of only having the highest tier gear behind its hardest content people didn't notice/care until the pvp stat was removed. I agree only doing pvp in WoW is a slow way to gear but depending on your skill you can work yourself up to mythic tier gear through pvp. Mythic+ drops entry lvl mythic gear at its highest gear level as well with its weekly chest dropping mythic raid gear. Also adding a currency and vendor for some targeted BiS gear in a later patch. As someone who did PvP, Mythic+ and raids for gear I didn't find the grind that bad. But had friends that only wanted to pvp finding it slow. The problem the highest tier raid guilds have with the gearing is the titan-forge system, which is the only true way to get BiS. In short, I agree its sucks when high end raids/ops is the only way to get BiS, should be able to play what you want and still get to the finish line one way or another and taking the same time played to get. Just feel WoW does this better now with the addition of Mythic+ then SWTOR has ever done. While I agree with the second part just having that as the only way to get gear isn't good imo, Shouldn't be the main gear system but a supplementary system like it kinda is now with Ossus. Just feel like WoW forces you to play all the content to gear at a decent pace to a fault, while SWTOR forces you to play one type of content. Haha, it is a boring item.The concept compared to weapons. I was just pointing out the fact its a never ending lvling system like Galactic Command. Don't know how much of BFA you played but I grounded out so many neck levels its sad.

How so? WoW has more then double the gear curve length Swtor has in Live. Unsure about 6.0 Didn't the last 2 expansions for WoW also have a level system after max level with legendary weapons and the heart? They just didn't attach gear drops to levels. I sort of agree. I feel like a monthly sub for access is dying. But a monthly sub for bonus stuff is called a Season pass these days for some games.

GSF is the perfect example on why batting around ideas is bad. We got GSF becuase of the community it flopped and Bioware had to keep putting resources into it over the years for the 4 people playing. Well take your fan boi glasses off and read. The ideas weren't about if I think they were popular. Its about if they worked and had people engage with it or not. Next you're going to say "oh you cant tell if GSF was failure impossible to have data on that."

Like Blizzard gives a flying pig about SWTOR at this stage.

More viable in this game then any other just because of the guard mech and the OP wants it gone or nerfed.

As someone who just returned for pvp tanking and that I hate stupid ideas. This has to be one of the most dumb ideas I have ever seen and proves you don't know how to play the game at all. If something has guard hard switch target force a guard switch and keep switching until the tank is confused or tired. If a healer and tank combo goes to attack a node never over commit they cant kill anything for ages and if you over commit the other node will go. I hate people like you who never learnt how the game works after 8 years. Then still suggest over and over to the forums stupid ideas that only if you learnt the game, it wouldn't be a problem.

Your criticism of WoW starts with gearing then you explain nothing about the gearing. Whats the difference between the sub token for in game gold to the cartel market and selling a item on there for credits? I agree leveling is slow. but to complain about not being op while leveling is stupid. You havent even bought BFA? *** is the point of complaining that you cant do 110 endgame stuff when thats the norm. The only reason people still did Legion content in BFA is due to how Blizzard did legionaries with people making twinks with legion gear to carry people in bfa dungeons for gold.

Very hard to make all utilities viable. Even with the new tactical's and stuff, people are just going to use the best ones and the others will be unused. I would warn against suggesting multiple utility builds for the same content since that would be another layer of balance Bioware would have to sift through.

Spoken like someone who has only ever played SWTOR. We have plenty of data from other MMO's on what works and what doesn't. What content people engaged with and what content people didn't. Bioware has data on everything Musco has said this many times. We do have this data since old ops were soloable before and people didn't do that content. Wrong, most MMO's encounter the same problems and we can see how they handled that problem and learn. I will use the problem of having flashpoints/dungeons being irrelevant after a certain point of the gear curve as an example. WoW fixed this by adding Mythic+ system and SWTOR made all old flash-points scaled to 70 and reward end game gear or currency. Since all features and content from vanilla SWTOR is still in the game and still playable and done often. You are only missing the endgame gearing WHICH WAS HORRIBLE. Good to see you trust randoms on the internet. Plus It not just a sound editing problem. Musco has said many times it hard to mess with the vanilla code without *********** it. GSF wouldn't of been better with a pve version LUL. It's not about what I want. Its about knowing the market and history of MMO's and knowing what content people engage with and what content people didn't engage with. My personal feelings have nothing to do with this. If I wanted to suggest my ideas I would have. Like a Mythic+ system for SWTOR from WoW and Dxun could of been a good place for a never ending dungeon that sprawls through the jungle, like in FF14. Hell, the never ending dungeon/flashpoint isn't even something I would personally like, just know people engaged with it in FF14.

Well flying isn't both of those things. You also gotta take into account what problems did other mmo's have once they added it in the game.

It's not. This is your game-play while flying go straight then dive bomb the obj get it done and go in the air again. Rinse and repeat. Imagine all the platforming for datacrons just gone because people can fly. Also the Tat balloon would be useless its a well loved thing even if it takes forever. Boring gameplay, devs time making content goes to waste because you just fly over it. That's the reason other mmo's regret putting flying in the game and now restrict it in ways so you don't get it off the bat and have to walk through the content they created at least for awhile.

Huh? I asked how is WoW simplistic compared to SWTOR, you talking class design, gearing or what?

Brought up WoW for 2 points I didn't write my whole post about it.

Good points. GSF was never going to be what people wanted the SWG crew wanted open world while others wanted flight sim combat. Also, it is a 2 way street though most players don't know what they want and most people blame retail WoW's failure due to Blizzard listening to suggestions on the forums of a vocal minority. Which proves my point. But the difference being that WoW was/is the leader making moves in the dark while SWTOR these days has heaps of MMO's to see data on what content players engaged with and what content people didn't engage with.

If you really want to fly, I can suggest another recent Bioware game you might prefer, since it will never happen in this game.

My thoughts about AI has nothing to do with Classic WoW so no idea why you talked about that for so long. Yeah Classic did good for WoW maybe it will show EA mmos can still be a thing. But in no way does that mean we should get a Classic SWTOR. You can know that group content would more be bang for ya buck, since back in the day the old ops were soloable and what content did people do back then? oh wait the new group content. Also guilds are made to do the group content, no one makes a guild to solo ops. Do you really think an expansion feature saying "do ops solo with AI" will pull some old guilds back into the game compared to a feature saying "new ops and flash-points"? Like what kind of world do you live in? Maybe if people didn't suggest outlandish ideas all the time Bioware would do surveys. If you want an example of an outlandish idea that flopped I point to GSF.

Must be new to the game since you should know flying mounts are technically impossible due to the game engine. Also look what happened in WoW and how they have handled flying over the years. The game turned into a fly straight and dive bomb the objective, missing out on all the content devs worked hard for. Thats why they never let you fly at the start of an expansion these days and make you grind all the new reps and some other hoops to get it. Thanks I forgot about people suggesting flying and how unhelpful it would be to the game.
