I also miss the days when a group would wipe, laugh, try a new strategy, wipe, try again, wipe, new strategy, wipe, then FINALLY get it. What a victory. That's how brotherhoods are formed. Nowadays if you wipe once for whatever the reason people drop group without so much as a "ty anyway" ... it's pretty pathetic.

I agree, I feel really claustrophobic on every small ship, space station or small sliver of a planet I visit. I wish there were only a handful of planets that we traveled all over. Lol this post is pretty darned cute. I also wanted to say that I don't agree there is nothing to do at 50. We have PvP, flashpoints and space missions. I think the problem is that they aren't very much fun. In fact, they are buggy, imbalanced and just generally crappy.

Strangely enough, I don't think comparing old wow to new wow is the best way to gauge the effects of a LFD tool. Instead if you look back into older less popular games with smaller servers, you can see what an amazing impact the community aspect has on your gaming experience. I mean really, you can take a ridiculously crap game, but if you trudging through it with the friends you made along the way, it's epic.

Wow 17 pages and a 5 star rating. Thanks for the support guys! Also, it's funny how many Corso's and other heavy armor trooper types you see running around in those moddable jedi headbands (or similar) so that you can at least partially see the face!

Lol well you have to be the sugar mamma and shower him with gifts. Underworld trading helps. I actually tried to do it with my husband who was 42 or 43 at the time and we still got our a... bottoms handed to us lol. I've done that before. I don't see it any different as guys who play female toons anyways. I've also played male toons in a lot of old school games because I found you got treated better, whether if it was a trade heavy game people wouldn't try to scam you as often (l2 for example) or in a raid heavy game people automatically assume you are a stronger, better player. Kinda pathetic huh? I only play female toons anymore though.

I haven't heard much from Corso in a while even though I'm almost 10k affection with him. I'm currently level 40 but still too low for the companion quest "Gunfire in Gorinth Cnayon" that was back on Balmorra I believe. I wonder when he'll stop giving me the silent treatment.

You get more bees with honey, eh? I was trying to be polite.

I made a thread about that. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=84890

It's very simple to implement, don't worry about that.

I am not a quitter, in fact I am a happy subscriber of this game (for the most part). HOWEVER, I think it's unfair that everyone who leaves is labeled as a wow-tard or some other silly insult. This game has very specific parameters and it's okay for some people to not like it. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them it just means the game was never intended to be marketed to them, or rather, to their kind. This applies also to those who enjoy the game. They aren't retarded, deranged fanboys, they just happen to like it. And there is nothing wrong with that. I hope I'm making myself clear but these days everyone seems to think that those who disagree with them only do so because they are broken on some level. What happened to the days when mankind recognized that we are vast and different with vastly different wants and needs?

Lol...

It's interesting... NC Soft were having the same problem when testing GW2 but they already fixed it. It's in their blog. Check it out! Read More!

What's with all the panda hate? Do SWTOR fans really think we don't have equally as stupid looking creatures in our galaxy?

I don't really agree with this. There is definitely a lot of jerks around here but they aren't only "fanboys" ... in fact the majority of them aren't.

Love the colour! It would not require a lot of work because it is just expanding on a feature that already exists in the game. And really hiding a headslot probably only involves setting a flag that changes 1 variable. I know. He could have contracted some terrible skin disease that turned him green and purple and we wouldn't even know it.

Lol, poor Corso have to work for such a mean man.

I'm a little on the fence with this issue. I think some people have made compelling arguments on both sides of it. Generally back in my oldschool gaming days I played healers and I always found ways to level them. And yes, I'm talking about grind games too. In these sorts of games people play healers because they like playing healers, not because their guild needs one more for their second string raid lineup. In that way our class defined us and we were special. In games like wow we are not even a dime a dozen - we are everyone! However... because people are use to this type of play in new games like swtor, players are expected by their groups to respec over and over at a massive personal cost to themself. What a money sink! Because of that, I feel like they might as well just add dual spec because people are playing as if it was in the game anyway, just at a major cost to the respective healers and tanks. I think ultimately what I wish is for an attitude change in the general player base but I know that isn't going to happen so I won't hold my breath. EDIT Oops and I wanted to mention... I'm looking forward to GW2's innovative approach to the group system. They have completely done away with the holy trinity of group mechanics and have given enough utility to each individual class that anyone can party anyone for any of the content. I wouldn't mind seeing this become the new standard in the MMO world.

I always had excellent DPS (and heals) in WoW and I have to admit, I LIKED people seeing my big numbers. However, I still believe dps meters are massive killjoys that ruin games. They are like a cancer that has infected the gaming community...

Maybe he means GW2?

Any old school gamer knows this isn't true.

Although I'm really enjoying this game for the most part I'm not so blinding by that that I cannot admit this game is serverly flawed on so many levels. Realistically, which game isn't? However, I have yet to encounter any "impossible" quests and I tend to skip conent and skip to things slightly higher then me so thats saying a lot...

Personally as a completely objective viewpoint with no emotions in it at all.. I can tell you that I thought I would hate this game but I didn't. I liked it. A lot even. Not so much I would call it a great game but enough that I enjoy playing it.... for now. Since my very first WoW burnout (we're talking BC days) I've been waiting for a new MMO to save me. It's like waiting for Jesus to come back... everything falls short, everythng is such crap. I thought TERA might be a breath of fresh air in the gaming world but that smile got wiped off my face as quick as any other. Really GW2 is our last hope. Until Titan I suppose. Bliz really is a bunch of pimps aren't they?

Whats wrong with do gooders?

Who cares, when GW2 comes out we can all go there. Swtor is a perfectly acceptable diversion in the meantime!

I agree with the OP. Everyone can make all sorts of fancy reasons why they think dual spec is natural and normal but any old school gamer who had to stick to their guns knows the epic value in playing the cards you are dealt, no matter how terrible they are. Although of course 92429742 people will reply to this claiming to be d&d pen and paper junkies who bla bla bla, etc, etc. Well maybe now they won't since I called them on it but you never know, the interwebz is full of crazies.
