One of the reasons I unsubbed for sure.

But nobody plays operations .... except my guild .... which 75% quit (including myself) because of being sick of no content. I think 5.1 is a joke as well. MORE RNG FOR THE WIN.

This is a good point. I've pretty much quit until I get my Padawan back, but if they do it poorly, that won't bring me back either.

This all day long. You log on hoping Light Side (maybe DS in your case) is winning so you can get a token when you level a command Rank. If it's not, you already want to quit. Then you say ... meh, might as well play. You ding a levle, get no DS or LS token and as a bonus you get crap in your command crate. Meanwhile you open your companion bar and see the 30 companions you can choose from, and do some quests with different ones, just for fun, knowing the whole time you really want your wife/padawan back, knowing there is no plan to bring her back. Dude, I don't think they could make this more depressing if they tried. LOL. Actually with this dev team if they did try and make it depressing it would turn into a light hearted romp.

So much this.

I just want to post my agreement with the OP.

Unsubbed because of Galactic Command, DvL, and zero plans to bring back my Romance Companion. This stream simply confirms the wisdom of my choice. Honestly? I think they owe us an apology for screwing up 5.0 so bad. And one for their lame half-hearted efforts to fix the problem.

All I know is I cancelled my sub and the proposed changes for 5.1 won't bring me back. The proposed changes are at best a bad compromise and at worst simply a placating gesture. How do these guys not get it?

^ This .... all day long.

I've been through two combat deployments a bunch of server merges the implosion of a massive guild of friends over drama and the core group of us survived. We have done Ops together since the beginning of this game. 5.0 killed this group. Basically only three of us left. Stupid BW. They should have listened to the feedback from the PTS that told them this and CXP was stupid.

My guild died because of it. Over half quit when they saw the CXP loot system.

YOu don't get the tokens from the CXP boxes. You get it when you attain the command level. So if you are playing light and light side is winning (anything from 1-5 light side) you get a light side token when you ding the level. If it is neutral or dark side you get nothing. Vice versa for Dark side.

Glad I'm not alone. Sigh. Such a good game that they have been determined to ruin.

This honestly made me lol.

I find myself not doing endgame content when dark side is prevalent. I don't want to command level and lose the opportunity to get the light side token. I can't be the only person doing this. Also. They changed the math so much that it basically just alternates with no regard to what the player base is doing. This makes the whole thing just pointless. Also also. I know that the command ranks and gearing system is the primary focus right now. But, DvL is freaking stupid and needs to be fixed as well. Finally. I recommend that they give you tokens for whatever alignment you have selected whenever you level regardless of who is winning. That would make it all about the world bosses that spawn when one alignment wins. I think that would maintain the mechanic and would provide a viable reason for keeping it in the game without making it yet another pointlessly frustrating piece of game design.

For the record this still stinks. Can I ask? What was so terribly wrong with the old system? FIne. People not raiding or pvping couldn't get the best gear (not that they needed it if they weren't pvp or raiding). But why not just stack your new system on top of your old. This proposed solution will not make people happy. It is a haphazard compromise that will just make everyone even more frustrated. I think the saddest part about all of this is that basically everyone on PTS told you your new loot system sucked and you didn't listen. You people keep thinking you know what people want when you clearly have no idea.

It appears that only the rocket launcher works on the NPCs. And as those are only available for 30 million on the GTN, I'm pretty sure it's not working as intended.

For me it isn't that the gear is hard to get NOW. It's looking at it long term. This is going to be a nightmare to gear up alts and is going to be endlessly frustrating.

Okay. This is going to sound all arrogant and "Look at me." But I completed all of the chapters in Veteran with 208 (old PvP) gear. I had set bonuses and top of the line augments. It was DPS gear with tank set bonus and tank tree on Shadow. I had to use ALL of my DCDs on cool down, used Heroic Moment on harder fights, and interrupted and rotated stuns on cool down. I would say that you can do this on veteran with adequate gear if you are in a good class/spec scenario (Shadow Tanks are supposed to be OP in this patch) and you use ALL of your abilities All of the time. For some people that would be infuriating. I found it really enjoyable. I did die a LOT though. And I imagine it will be a nightmare on my commando.

Cancelled today as well. Largely because of Galactic Command. It is quite possibly the stupidest thing they have ever done and I've seen a lot of stupid from these guys. I got 12 days left. (Glad I only do monthly sub lol). I doubt I will even log on in that time.

I only used it on one toon. The rest I didn't even bother. I doubt it does anything honestly.

I've essentially been a subscriber since pre-launch. I took time off once for six months, but I came back and loved it. No longer. The Galactic Command system is going to drive me insane, so I figure dump it now and save the pain. Furthermore, I want my dang Padawans back and I am now certain I'm never going to see them again. (don't tell me about how you can get them back through the non-story option. It's not the same to me.) No you can't have my stuff.

It's not the short term. Heck I got a set piece. It's thinking about next week, next month, and next toon. The current gear system discourages alts (a previous strength of the game) discourages doing alternate trees on existing toons (a previous strength of the game) and discourages certainty in gearing. It was hated pre-1.0 It was steadily changed to more predictable from 1.0 to 4.0 in response to customer feedback. They came up with this idea. Everyone hated it. Told them they hated it, and they did it anyway. I think we all waited to see what it would actually be like. Now that we are experiencing it for real it confirms all of our worst fears. It is a bad move and we are voicing our displeasure. Also ... you are the 1%. Most people are just getting mountains of crap.

^ So much this.

Sadly I doubt we will get any.
