Why are companions so stupid as to stand in the fire? Any chance of fixing their AI to move out of PBAoE/GTAoE? Practically every mob in the game has a plasma probe type thing in their pocket that they love to throw out (Ball that pulses fire damage PBAoE). Orbital Strike type animations, no problem they'll stand in that too.

Hence his question why not go to a generic token based loot system. Get with the times BW or lose more people. I know my guild has had both tokens drop for Jedi Knight and we didn't have any. I'm guessing this change was somewhat recent or is it being fixed... again.

How many have faith that BW won't screw this up? Bueller bueller bueller. Read what they said very carefully and don't interpret or assume they meant X, Y, Z.

I agree with the most of the first page (all that I read)… let the player base make UI changes for you. BW’s history of producing bugfree content ain’t the best. Focus target of target. Snap to grid for windows. Lock specific windows when moving stuff around.

Still don't care for it. It's sanction griefing and trying to force players to play the game the way somebody else wanted. Forcing PvP sucks too. But the biggest suck factor is the performance hit to the fleet.

I don’t enjoy the event. I don’t want to spend 2k credits every night to buy a vaccine. It’s not optional at this point, why do I have to be forced to spend my time/money on something I don’t care about. It’s not a question of how much money I have. Don’t buy a vaccine but get infected. Wait 30 minutes to blow up, no thank you my time is more valuable. Take a fall death (0 repair penalty), sure that could work on the fleet but out on Hoth not so easy. Get the 3 second plague stun while in combat and take a combat death, that does cost repair money. It’s also killing performance on the Fleet stations. We have enough players spamming AoEs and the Social Dance ability on the fleets to not add to it by having green goo and people huddled together like a scene out of I Am Legend and/or I, Robot. It shouldn’t have been allowed to leave Tatooine. You can add those level 60 or level 160 guards that kill all infected players before they enter the space ports and infect unsuspecting players arriving on Tatooine. New players arriving to Tatooine can get a free quest to get a free vaccine by talking to Doc Blahblah. Otherwise the plague is cleansed on death or zoning. Or just a perma vaccine can be emailed to everyone or a toggled Opt out of world/server event ability can be created. I don’t care for the forced PvP to participate as well; I’m on a PvE server with Valor rank 0 for a reason.

I didn't care for the event either. Had fun but nonetheless I would have changed it a bit. It's Tatooine, one of my favorite planets however it's pretty silly to put the Open PvP area right next to the Imp base effectively forcing all Republic to the North, Taxi to the Fort in the Dune Sea or walking through Bantha Drift Tunnel (Why can't I ride through there again). Forced PvP for the Bantha boss. I'm on a PvE server because I'm a soft skinned carebear. I enjoy taking down a world boss and having other ***hats trying to kill my Ops while taking down a boss or getting killed trying to even see if it's up. It was designed for X players (I'll say a normal mode 16 man Ops group) however it only takes 1 or more gankers to kill you if you try and see if it's up. Plague was like the WoW Hakkar Plague (September 2005 for the kids). I didn't care for it then and still don't. It's sanctioned griefing. I can stand at the bank/GTN minding my own business and BOOM infected. Questing on Corellia and have some ***hat follow me around to try and infect me. It would have been better if it were contained to Tatooine. 2000 credit vaccine - Should have been mailed to me. I didn't know the event was happening or that there was a vaccine available. You want the vanity pet and/or title you have to participate. It's hard not to participate when people run around the fleet trying to inflict everyone. What's fun for some isn't fun for others. Spending the time to code this event on the heels of 1.2 made it even less fun knowing that the manpower wasted on this could have fixed 1.2 issues.

I ran grade 5 and 6 slicing missions last night for Grade 5 Mod/Abun/Rich and suffered a 25-50% credit loss. Grade 6 was more break even with a small credit gain. Stealth nerfed or incompetent devs

Makes sense but stupid. You screw over an Advanced Class you give them the courtesy of a free-respec. It's the decent thing to do. I'd say good faith and all that but after the latest fiasco I don't think you can smooth it over.

Maybe this was their way of covering up the Ranked Warzone snafu

I'm afraid to suggest something because of some malformed idea and horrible implementation is going to give us something like Strike and Project where we can't get a true mirror. Fix the stuff that's already broken before breaking new stuff. * I used Unity when duo'ing H4s with Qyzen tanking

How come all I can think of is Animal House. Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You **** up... you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.

Project Runway is 100% fine with me if we can get them away from this junk. My expectation was that the armor would have some thought to it. This is something slapped together by a 5 year old. Can we get more than 2 styles of armor and not just change one color and call it a new set. Really off the shoulder or the morning sun face or the Captain Can Opener set is not that long time ago either IMO. That's why if they want to have preschoolers doing the armor designs and coloring they should just give me my armor with it's mods already pulled out so I can save myself 100k and put it in something I like.

Can we improve companion AI? Every Tom, Dick and Harry MOB in the game has an AoE Fire spitting droid (Thing that hovers over the ground and pulses fire damage/dot at a diameter larger than its cast circle even though it’s an instant cast). My companion just stands in it requiring far more micromanagement than I desire. My companion wants to stand next to me in combat (Mobs too). I’m getting tired of getting dizzy in combat as mobs just get in a circle and rotate counter clockwise a step or two every second or two. It’s like the mob is trying to get behind me, but my companion isn’t smart enough to position himself opposite of me. Stupid tank pet loses agro for a second and comes to stand right next to me and then taunts so I have move to behind the mob (Some IA/Smuggler attacks actually need for the player to be behind the mob). Dumb tank fires Flare Gun (AoE Taunt) before he gets to the mobs or when there is just one mob present. Some sort of ability prioritization would be nice too. Clicking an attack, watch for the interrupt and micromanaging pet abilities and position isn’t very much fun. Most of this will help the casual player as well as the players that do dailies daily.

That's disappointing to know that I can't use the Star Wars page to learn or vote on Star Wars 3D space battle with the smaller ships, like our personal space ships, is more representative of the 6 movies. Capital ship battles were only background filler for suspense or 3D space battle. Pod racing was really only in 1 movie. Technologically speaking with client side functions such as they are (The ability to speed hack) I'd pick anything that doesn't pit me against somebody that can cheat. Also graphically speaking the nebulas/gas clouds in The Impossible Sector mission cause some video lag I can see that being a detriment to 3D Space Battles.
