I play on Shadowlands which is one of the few remaining well populated servers. Check it out on a Friday or Saturday night when its peak time. You used to see 2 instances of fleet with 200 on each maybe even a 3rd instance. Now, we are seeing 75 - 100 people on fleet period at peak times. This game is failing because you cannot alienate your core player base and thats what has happened, and continues to happen.

You complete and utter fools. This game has lost a HUGE amount of people since theyve implemented the Zakuul Story and heres a FACT, no matter if you think it is or not.... You'll be playing a 15 dollar a month game ALONE because with 5.0 the game will be a ghost town after about a month. What doesnt Bio-fail and these clueless players understand? They are so quick to say to others, "If you dont like it get out." Its all of us who make this game tick. Who wants to play a MMO where you have to pay every month by themselves? Anyone who doesnt pay the 15 has almost no say in this matter because Bio-fail has completely eliminated your guys chance at getting the gear anyway. Which to me, even though ive never once been f2p since the game began, I feel is really messed up as well. You guys probally have the ops passes that you've bought threw the cartel market and now ops has been reduced to a points grind. I'd want my money back for those passes.

Been here since day one of early access and EAware has gotten my 15 every month for 4 plus years plus thousands from cartel market. I can honestly say with these new changes to end game I am DONE. Sadly our beloved game i predict will be finished not to long after. This is a DISASTER on a level ive never seen before. Here i was thinking ok, finally after the story stuff they said theyll be doing more group content and I was excited and believed them. But now, to find out no more gear will be dropped from the hardest parts of the game which provide a challenge to players and a way to be an elite player by having the most powerful gear is being removed!? In turn for a "alliance crate" type system where you dont have to have one lick of skill and you still get the top gear!!??? *** is this horrible decision!?? Just when Rogue One is coming out too. You'd think they'd put together a good plan! I can see it now just like the Alliance Crates, we will have a HELL of a time finding exactly the items we need from the crates because you will wind up with tons of duplicates. This is so, so, messed up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^bump. Acknowledge and fix!

Only Bio-Fail could hype up something so much and in the end have it be a complete let down. This is truly a sad day in SWTOR history. I havent missed 1 month of being a sub since launch and have never had a issue with the money ive spent till now. 15 bucks a month for Dec, Jan, & Feb to recieve 1 chapter of 30 minute new playable content on Feb 11th? All rewards aside, What a JOKE! I've done just about everything you could do in the game at this point. I know people are gonna laugh at this but seriously if you checked my achivments in game you'd see not only have I done all the content I like to get all the achivements too. My problem is now most of the time besides when my guild raids on friday or saturday, I log in after work, collect my credits from stuff I sold, and stand around fleet or my stronghold till I find something to watch on tv then log off. The reason why is THERE IS NO NEW REPEATABLE MMO CONTENT! KOTFE is deadly boring once you run threw it twice, not to mention the absolute pain grinding heroics for companions is. Bioware needs to wake the hell up, no new ops for more then a year, no new pvp anything for what seems like a decade, no new daily areas to spend time in, and no new events either. Im fed up with this crap, we pay good money for a sub and in the cartel market and all we get are re-skins on mounts and pets and 1000 companions to play with that all do the same thing and all look the same. I want actual content to run threw with my guild or that I can pug. The sad thing is, if Bio-Fail came out today and revealed these sub rewards but also revealed a time table for new ops, dailies, or pvp people would love the rewards. But, everyone is so tired of their garbage they are raising hell on the forums and righfully so. We are paying customers and we are getting shafted. Fix your damn bugs too Bio-fail, I still cant see my offhand in cutscenes!

I have the same issue with missing offhand blaster and lightsaber since 4.0. Bio-fail forget your crap rewards and fix the damn game!

I have two Black Nebulas so yes maybe they are both being shown on one side but cant tell because they are identical. I also have the new sabers from the cartel market the skinny blade ones w/ the offhand being the shoto. I see the same from my sentinel in cutscenes just one side having a weapon.

How does that say to you that Im not aware of the apperence tab?

Added on in gen disc. Adding on here as well. I have the same issue with my Slinger with just one blaster showing in cinematics. Also, the same with my Sentinel. Please fix BIO-Fail!

I hear you guys about the paragraphs lol. Also, i hear you about the gear tabs and i use them. I just feel like if this trend of taking away your abilities to play the game how you like, more specificaly how we've always played could eventually lead to real issues with the core player base leaving. Like I said before about the companion gifts, if you are like me and bought many cartel packs before 4.0 (I wont buy anymore since they've reduced it to 3 items) I have stacks upon stacks of companion gifts. I dont need anymore, plus we get them from the alliance crates as well. I'd rather get gear from drops then more companion gifts. Plus, if your like me and have 8 or more level 60-65's lets be honest we'd probaly kill our selves before we gather all the new companions on each toon, and then gained top influence with them all as well. The new companion system is flawed because of this. Once you have em all on a toon or two why get em all again and again. Also, theres not enough insentive right now to do this, maybe later on? Not being able to customize the companions we get though is the biggest issue in my opinion. I know its gone off topic but thanks for listening and your comments.

I agree this is a big issue for me because my main is a slinger, ive also seen it on my sentinel. I put in a ticket but I havent received a response, typical. Just wanted to add on because I havent seen this bug mentioned yet.

Ive been a sub since day 1 of early access and LOVE the game. But, since 4.0 I don't think I've ever had so many problems with the game. I'm not happy with the "dumbed" down experience and the issues with the huge amount of bugs since 4.0 and also the massive amount of bugs that have been around and accumulated since launch. The point of this post is about the loss of orange gear and the blue lvl mods that were sold on the fleet for low lvls. First, the orange gear that dropped from world mobs and from heroics was always a nice reward for doing harder content while leveling. Since 4.0 that has been taken away. You no longer get orange gear to modify the way you like from Heroics. Also, I'm the type to try to kill every bad *** npc on whichever planet im on while leveling. I used to sometime pick up orange gear from the kills of those champion npcs. Now, we get nothing but these damn companion gifts! This is not how i want to be rewarded for doing more difficult parts of the game! You have taken the fun right out of leveling with this, not to mention the ridiculous rate of leveling now. Also, the vendors on the fleet that sold orange gear and blue level mods for our hard earned comms have since been reduced to 1 low, low, lvl vendor who sells 1 set of orange gear for each class and every vendor only sells green lvl mods. WHY!!!! Why is this the direction you go in? Why not have just left it the way it was pre-4.0? I know why, because your telling us that besides ops and hard mods fps, GEAR DONT MEAN CRAP. You could level from 1-25 wearing the same junk you wore on the starter planets. Take it from me I have done all 8 class stories and still leveled more to do different advanced classes. This has taken away from the leveling experience greatly and takes away the fun of working to make your toon better at lower levels through heroics, world bosses, flashpoints, etc. I wont even get into how I hate that gearing companions has been removed, because I know most won't agree with me on that topic but, if you were still gearing your companions we wouldn't have this companion op/not-op problem. Im just putting this out there to bioware as a dedicated star wars fan and customer. I understand your grab for more players with 4.0 but tread carefully because your have started down the path of making this game so simple that it becomes boring, and when it becomes boring people will leave just like in the begining. I never post on the forums but this issue has bothered me enough that I felt it nessecary to do so. Thank You for your time.

First of all who the hell cares about ridiculous things like changing your hair style and changing your species? Obviously all these whinny people do because in my opinion I could care less about those two options. When I spend 15 mins or so creating my charecter I make sure I spend the time and effort so I dont need to go back and change him all over again. Its these people with this child like mentality where after they reach level 10 with their toon they think, " I dont really like him anymore, I wana start something else. " Well BOO HOO! Why do you need to change? Because you spent 2 mins making your charecter and it looks like ****? Or because you just saw someone elses charecter who spent some time on him and you realize yours looks like crap and you need to change yours? I mean damn man, on the list of quality of life improvments this game needs to implement a dumb barbershop and a species change is not even on my list. Heres some things that I think need to change.... Ship leaving and arriving animations - I wana see my thrusters kick into gear with a streak accross the sky when I take off into space, not the ******** sound we hear now with the only animation being the ship flying accross the sky. Think about how awesome it looks and sounds when the Ebon Hawk took off or the Millenium Falcon boosted his thrusters. Also when arriving on a planet I want to see my ship land in the hanger or the landing pad. When it lands I want to see steam puffs coming from the hydrolic landing gear and be able to hear the steam shooting out. I never hear anyone talk about these things and all you have to do is watch the Star Wars movies or play Kotor even with its old graphics and you see all the Ebon Hawks take off and landing animtaions fully incorperated like the way I described above. More SPECIES! - I know the deal about them not being able to have wookies and such as mains because of the language barrier. But damn! Is bioware really that dumb to say, " Well we will wait and see how the Cathar species does, and if it does well we will consider adding more species" ***!!?? This is STAR WARS! Its what makes the whole franchise so alive and real is the fact that there are thousands of species through out the galaxy. Bioware you really want to make money? Add new species in the Catel Market. Introduce Cathar, Togruta, Nautolen, etc the one people have really been asking for and add more as time goes on. And even if you dont do that add more species to the npc world! Some of these areas on different planets are really dull. Just last night I realized that the pretty much abandoned cantina on Corusant had all these extra rooms. I explored each one looking for any type of lore object and as i explored I saw the same white male black sun smuggler in every room. That was it! In 5 rooms and like 3 to each room was the same npc over and over again. That is just plain lazy bioware. All in all i love the game I participated in game testing and was playin by 12 noon est on the 1st day of early access. I have the 3 month sub plan and have paid for every month. The game was fine to me in the beging as I was a absolute noob to MMO's all together and a absolute Star Wars fan and Kotor fan. But, I realized as time went on, especially with the ghost towns the servers became that major things had to change. I will congratulate Bioware for making the neccessary changes and improving gameplay by a lot. Keep up the great work but just becarefull with the Cartel Market plz, you could go either way with it. I know its been a huge cash cow since its began but when you start to recover all the money that was spent to make the game and you start to make a profit, make sure you take care of your die hard subs and show some love. May the force be with you, Peace.

1) Transdoshan - I know they wuld be bounty hunters and nuthin else but thats fine with me. Maybe they can make a special expansion with the story of the conflict between the wookies and the transdoshans. It would be awesome to explore the worlds of Kashyykk and Transdosha. You would have transdoshans on the empire side obviously and being bounty hunters also, and you would have the wookies bein part of the republic and they could be smuggler class or even bounty hunter like the legendary Chembrelac. 2) Nautaloun - They would be awesome jedi and are already in the game. Plus they would be kool as dark jedi with the sith also. 3) Kaleesh - They would be bad *** dark jedi, they could be bounty hunters, smugglers, and jedi alike. SPECIAL ENTRY!!! ....... AQUALISH- How in the hell did bioware forget to have them in the game as npcs??? Whatl im saying is I dnt want them as a playable species because I'm realistic and realize you need the species to fit into a class and a faction. But, in kotor there were plenty of Aqualish as npcs and bioware seems to have put all npcs from kotor in swtor but the Aqualish. I thought they really made the kotor games feel " star wars-ish " thats why I vote for them as npcs only. One last thing... Bioware please livin up the areas where npcs congregate like cities and towns or whatever. You see a few but not many and the npcs you do see seems like they are always the same species or they are all doin the same stuff. I just think you could do a better job wiyh that go back and look at kotor in places like Tatooine and Manaan those planets felt like they were living.
