Hello, Frequently it's difficult to get an opportunity to restore health (Jedi Introspection) in the flashpoints because other players start into battle. I'm suggesting to allow health restoration WHILE other players of the group are in combat. The management of the health pool of my character should not depend on the decisions of other players. This is especially, but not exclusively, the case in tacticals where I am tank spec and the other players are DPS but we have not healer. Sure the group needs to coordinate but I believe in this case there should be this exception.

I notice it at certain times. Mid-day Saturday, later on Sundays. A group of players from the same guild all operating together. I cast Challenging Call and boom, focus fired by all 4 within a couple seconds. The first few years I was like, ok, no big deal I'll just re-queue. But the premades are on when I want to play and it really sucks. They also string cool-downs very effectively which you can only do if you're communicating via voice. It's much more difficult to keep from blowing a cooldown when you're not coordinating with another player.

I'm done with this random group versus premade group crap in pvp. If you wanna group, have a battle plan, vent/mumble that's great but you need to play against another premade group not against a random group. I don't care if your wait time is long it's not a fair paring. BIO needs to queue groups against groups, individual against individuals. PvP is the only thing left in the game I find interesting and it's ruined when you get a score of 6 to 0 in huttball because the other group is a premade.

Guardian tanking SUCKS. I get agro pulled off me all the time, cool-downs are blown. What a miserable situation. Yeah, hilt strike blah blah, awe blah blah, force stasis blah blah... I read ALL the intelligent guides on the internet. I tank on my Bounty Hunter with ZERO problem: I can "reach" the mobs so much more easily WHILE maintaining agro on the boss I'm tanking. I have TWO gap closers on the BH and TWO ranged taunts and a ranged damage dealer that actually turns a mob back towards me unlike the crappy saber throw. When one tool is on cool-down the other is available. I'm SO done with the frickin Guardian tank BW can have the CRAPPY thing. And while I'm here Guardian PvP is a mess too... has anyone REALLY played with the clunky rotation on that? Compare it to what's available with a Powertech... Seriously BW what were you thinking. The Jedi should be the premier class all around not the clunker.

PLEASE!!! I'm so tired of switching the audio around every time I want to play SWTOR. Please add in-game audio output device selection so I don't have to keep switching the default audio output device in windows. The other major MMO's do it, why not SWTOR! Great game BTW... love it.

AGREE'D 100% I hate the new sound, it's weak and irritating.

Don't like the new sound of charged burst... too tinny and it kinda hurts my ears. I almost wanna quit my smuggler and go play my jedi until you fix this "nails on the chalkboard" sound....

I like the idea and I really like the split option. I will stay a subscriber in part because I love the game and I want to see it succeed but also I realize it was a huge amount of work to creat this game and only seem fair to pay my part to enjoy it.

Hey BW, Absolutely loving the game. I've played all the major MMO's, including the recent betas and I like this one the best. I am a character player and REALLY enjoy the character driven aspect, the cut scenes are awesome and really make me feel like I'm part of the game's world. Because of the detail of the character's appearance, mouth movement, expressions, voices and the various gestures, I find it difficult to get into other MMO's, they seem cartoonish. I've heard about the bumps you all have had. I think the gaming industry is a tough one. Sure I've had my complaints in the past about this game but that was because I got distracted by the grindiness. It's only a grind if you are grinding to get something that wasn't intended to be had easily.

Bioware needs an option in the groupfinder for players who (1) want to watch cut scenes or (2) are there just for social points, etc. Then make the best effort (not a requirement) to group players on thos added criteria. I like the cutscenes. No they don't make the FP's 90 minutes or more.

I for one am happy they're releasing fixes as fast as they do... The game is GREAT in so many respects and they pushed the envelope a bit so of course there's going to be bugs. I see very little lag and I'm on a slow internet connection.... stop watching (ehem) naughty vids while playing and you'll have less lag... I'm not judging... no wait... I am judging... so there.

Well, there's more than just packed and ghost-town options. Second night of 20+ min wait on Harbinger. When you only have an hour (at most) to play in the evenings (after work, chores, etc) waiting 20 mins takes a big bite out of the reason for playing.

C'mon... seriously? I love that the server is populated and there's people to play alongside; however, too many more nights of this and I'm cancelling!

I'd like to see the rest zones expanded from just the Cantina to also include the areas around/adjacent to the cantina's so we can read/send mail, work at the GTN and the bank while getting rest time. It would help reduce the grindy feel the game has.

Electronic Arts (EA) used to be top dog, then Activision bought Blizzard and with WoW as their new cash-cow they bumped EA out of the top spot. EA wants it's own cash-cow so they instructed BioWare to remake Knights of the Old Republic, gave them a budget and off they went. Adding Lucas Arts into the mix with all the amazing, individually acted cut scenes in this game BioWare's SWTOR project was destined to hurtle out of budgetary control. The first part of this game(Act 1) was amazingly well done. Have you noticed how the cut scenes drop off and the grinding and travel time soar right after Act 1 ends? That's undoubtedly the result of EA's spineless CEO bending to the whim's of the bean-counters. They wanna keep you grinding away to suck as many 15-dollar months out of you as they can. The creatively handicapped bean-counter's and CEO's don't care how many times you have to travel across Hoth but I can assure you the game designers did.... guess who won? They also wanted the game out before Christmas and instead of releasing a finished product, they released, well, SWTOR. Have you also noticed the odd mix of really awesome work and really marginal get-by-with-what-we-can work in this game? Take a look at PvP: it's fine to group level's 10 throught 49 and make DPS/Health adjustments but forgetting to adjust for the talent tree? Seriously? The simple lack of a dual (or more) spec option so you can tank, dps and/or pvp is a glaring mistake no game designer would have made unless he was pressured to do so. Unfortunately for SWTOR, the competition (check out the main advertiser on TORHEAD) is becomming a steam roller headed for the BioWare building. So be kinda nice here folks. Yes this game has disappointing aspects. Vote your disapproval with your subscription but don't rake the developers over the coals in these forums, they answer, like many less-creative American companies, to the bottom line.

Waited patiently for 1.2 to see how it came out... Sorry BW... you didn't cut the mustard. After reading the recent threads in the forums I'm FAR from the only one. Parked my toons, cancelled my sub... unfortunately paid thru June When GW2 comes out SWTOR is going the way of Rift (you can't even pay people to play that one).

3 BG's so far and all the Rep's under lvl 20 with Imp's over level 20? HELLO? As if the talent points don't count? Sheesh... what a mess

This is why I stopped playing this game: it takes forever to get anywhere... I had to go from the Fleet to Hoth then back to Alderaan... ****!!! This is absurd... get to hangar, hangar to ship, ship cenematic, ship in space, find destination, fly to destination, cinematic, exit ship, cinematic, get to spaceport, run to transport, transport to planet, run through spaceport on planet... ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I find myself less and less interested in playing this game. It's evidently a great game so why is this happening? There's just a series of annoyances that add up to a lot of wasted time: First, the load screens are taking WAY too long. I have a higher-end machine and sometimes the loading bar just sits there forever. This really needs to be addressed. LAG LAG LAG in groups. The larger the group the worse the lag. I've set my display quality to LOW even tho I have a decent graphics card (Nvidia 560), my latency is always below 90 and still the game lags. This is a huge problem in PvP and I've heard similar complaints from other players. I mash the same button over and over only to have the action occur 5 seconds later! LOTS of costs but the ability to make credits is clunky and time consuming. Fix the GTN so we can: easily and quickly find the "going rate" for items we want to sell and quickly find the things we want to buy. The GTN is terrible.... take a look at Auctionator in WoW if you want an example of how to do the GTN. Why is the cost to respec the skill tree going so high? My current cost is 50,000+ credits! This is insane punishment. It's my damn game and my damn character and if I want to play around with the skill tree to see what works best I should be able to do so without being penalized (especially when the clunky GTN is so difficult to make credits with). Cap the cost to respec the skill tree at 1000 credits. PvP bailouts... people are bailing from PvP left and right. Now I hear BioWare wants to punish people who are bailing with a timeout. Huh? You want to punish me for trying to have fun? Huh? You think I'm going to PAY you for this? Huh? Don't punish people for bailing, incentivize them to stay. Increase the rewards if you get a loss. Most of the point in PvP is to learn to play and compete and win... it's not so much about the points. If people are leaving PvP games early it's because they are NOT having fun. Which leads me to another topic... there's few rewards for PvP except when I get to 50 I can finally open all the damn purple bags. Server populations are dropping really fast... I rarely get a full PvP group in the mornings on my server. Get the realm change thing going quick... and don't even think of charging people for moving a few bits (characters) around on a few hard drives. Everybody knows this is a gouge. There's WAY too much time wasted travelling. Reduce the quicktravel time to 5 minutes and the feet pass to 30 minutes. That way if I'm tired of questing I can get to the fleet to do a flashpoint. If I can't find a flashpoint I can go back to questing. Do you even realize how much time it takes to get somewhere in this game? It's a HUGE waste. First you gotta get to the spaceport, then you gotta RUN (not fly) to the hanger door, then click the hanger door then run to the ship then click the ship then another cut scene then... ARGH!!!! I'm getting OLD just getting to my damn destination! And fix HOTH... what a mess... travelling all over the place and having to fight the same mobs to get to your destination. And 250,000 credits for 110% flying speed? MORE punishment for trying to avoid the tedium of getting around in the game! Huh? Gotta rethink that one.

If you find yourself in pvp against a premade, bail. Since BW isn't going to fix the premade issue boycotting by bailing will lengthen their queue times and discourage 'em. There's no penalty for bailing Saturday and Sunday after noon seems to be when the premades come out most often. I also notice it during mid-week evenings. Since PvP queues don't seem to cross servers this could have a decently discouraging effect on premades. So what if they win by default... they're going to win anyway! Save yourself the time and aggravation!!! Communicate in PvP chat if you think you're up against a premade and encourage others to bail too.

PvP is Zero fun on Republic side... going back to play WoW which is way more balanced than this joke.

The whole "one big happy level 10 to 49 family" thing just is not working... you can't compensate for a full skill tree when you're competing with classes that have 5 different ways to CC you and you have one way out (with a damn 2-minute cooldown). The CC imbalance is one hot mess. There's only 1 class to play in pvp... sith inquisitor... anything else is a joke.

...unless you're s a sith inquisitor totally out of balance cc is a complete mess I re-upped my WoW subscripton, at least I can play loosing Alliance (Republic) without the LAG times.... Bioware has LOTS of work to do...

Wow I guess I'm not the only one who's thought of parking his Guardian until they fix the hood on/off thing. I enjoy playing my character but the hood takes away all the personality of my toon. I am amazed they missed this as immersive as this game was designed to be.... WOW
