[Which alignment did you Shadows choose and why?]

I went dark with shadow, since my Sage went light.

[Bioware, you're making it more and more difficult for me to defend you]

First off, you shouldn't feel the need to defend them. It is what it is. Second, to fix item #6 on your list, I recommend that BW makes the OP play where BW decides it's best, then he can get his wish that they are doing more for balance.

[Where are the Shadow tank shields?]

Funny. I was coming here to find out about this exact thing. Being an Artificer, I looked at the crafting list on the trainers, and could find nothing. So I figured I must have to switch to Strength based shield to upgrade the Endurance.

[Bioware, your game runs too hot. My solution.]

If you look at every MMO release in the past 5 years, this exact thread exists in all of them.

[Bioware, your game runs too hot. My solution.]

It's been said a thousand times at this point, and I am sure you will ignore it this time. It's not the game. It's your hardware. I've been through this myself many years ago. Every game worked fine, but this one shiny new one. I blamed the new game, but it really was a hardware issue as I found out eventually.

[Please don't QQ about the large zones!]

I am up to Alderaan, not finished with it, and the only planet I would categorize as large is Taris. So as far as I am concerned, they can make them much bigger.

[Any gamers old enough to remember wanting to buy Commodore 64]

I owned C64, then upgraded to the C128. Years earlier I wanted the TSR80, but could not aford it. So I had to settle playing with my uncle's. I played my first computer game on it, a simple version of Star Trek in late 70s.

[Datacrons, while a nice idea(Easter eggs)..]

I hate jumping puzzles, so unless it's real easy, I don't bother with them.

[So I married my companion]

Since you are in love and married, the stork can bring the little companion babies now.

[300 million US dollars, Star Wars license, Bioware developing etc what went wrong?]

They have experience making MMO with expansions, Bioware had no experience and it shows in everything you do in this game.

 

Actually, BW took over for mythic on the failed Warhammer, so they did get some experience.

 

Also, how did previous experience work out for SoE? Don't forget that the same publisher of GW2 also released Tabula Rasa and a vehicle mmo.

[300 million US dollars, Star Wars license, Bioware developing etc what went wrong?]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Gra_LQwEM&feature=fvwrel GUILD WARS 2, releasing 2012, no monthly sub and it looks and feels like a NEW GAME according to testers.

 

Also guild wars one had better CS than SWTOR and it was a free game...

 

Those mythical unreleased games always look better, then they get released and nitpicked to death.

[Why are companions so slow to start attacking]

It seems to me that some companions wait till I get hit. When I direct them to attack, it usually happens right away for me. Remember any delay might be due to them firing up some abilities that takes 1-3 seconds to activate. So if you are killing their target fast, then it keeps switching targets and trying to activate that ability.

[Companion Conversation bug? Anyone else get this?]

I have the quest icon constantly over Risha, but she never wants to talk or give a quest. I suppose she is anxiously awaiting to join my companion list before she will talk.

[300 million US dollars, Star Wars license, Bioware developing etc what went wrong?]

If selling over 2 million copies at release is going wrong, I don't wanna be right.

[Is swtor a real mmo?]

No fishing, no MMO.

[the definition of a real MMO.]

Been here, done that.

[What Is So Bad About the UI?]

I want to move some things around like put chat on the lower left, but the companion thing is there. Can you move the companion bar somewhere else? That's about the only thing I do not like about the UI.

[Took Me Until Level 30 to Realize My Toon Was Gimped]

See this is what I don't understand. Shadow Technique vs. Force vs. Combat. When do I use them??? Is there a guide on this?

 

Combat is your tanking stance. IRC, it increases the chance of the shield firing, increases armor, and gives you some health for hits, but isn't worth as much much if you didn't take the tanking options in the defense tree IMO. Force is a generic DPS stance. Shadow, I don't know about because I never looked into it.

[Bioware dev's picked Empire]

I briefly tried a couple empire classes to 12 or so. One thing that stuck out for me was Sith Inq/Jedi Sage ability. Sith Inq was an instant lighting attack, and the sage equivalent had 1 sec or more casting animation. I liked the SI version quite a bit more, but I still stayed Republic.

[The key to a happy and long life in the SWTOR universe]

Never make a holodisc recording. Because soon after you make a holodisc recording, you will die, and thousands of brave adventurers will seek out your recording for fame and fortune.

[Thinkiing of making an female alt. Is it a problem?]

New mmo players will think it's a female playing the char. The veteran mmo player knows that there is a 90% chance that it's a guy.

[Am I the only one actually enjoying this game?]

When the topic is brought up in game, it's very positive. I really can't remember one complaint from the forums in /1 chat while playing. So I think many of the constant whiners here have just lost perspective that it's a game and that it's perfectly fine to stop playing at anytime if the game is no fun.

[WoW strikes at SWTOR]

Now all they need to do is add people that I want to group with.

[hey look...im lacking]

[Surnames need more explanation in-game]

Now I'm stuck with the surname Salami

 

I sorry to laugh, but that's a bit humorous. You are 100% correct that it should mention that it's for all characters. I don't know if it says that or not because I have not done whatever it takes to trigger it.
