This is not a bug? Queue times are dependent on the player base...this is a 10+ year old game so naturally this game has only a few thousand players, and the starfighter mode is generally not well liked hence long queue times.

Hello?

I know every class is viable and has a place but I just want your opinion of what class you think is 'the best' like if you had to play one class for the rest of your playtime in the game which would it be?

well i'll try it but still lol Edit: Well that worked........still though this is problem

I don't see any terminal but no when you have your 60 token you just go into the character create menu and you start out in the new fallen empire expansion when you click play

Bioware really screwed the pooch.....bought a 60 token and redeemed it and guess what level I am..... 1 Proof is in the pudding take a look at this OP level 1 sage....which shouldn't be possible considering you pick your advanced class at 10 so my character is now this hybrid in a twilight zone it cant decide if wants to be level 60 or level 1 https://gyazo.com/738c6423f92465d6ef8a15d6d47be2ef I want my damn cartel coins back or my character boosted to level 60 !

Why was this not included in the first place? why must I make a suggestion for this? First and foremost let me start by saying I am happy about the outfit designer update but honestly it wasn't needed since adaptive armors pretty much allow players to customize their characters to whatever look they want. However for weapons it should be a no brainier the reason is soooooooo stupidly simple that it surprises me that none of the developer's tiny brains came up with it. That reason is "I love the sound of this blaster......but hate the look of it." and vice versa For example I personally LOVE the look of this http://tor-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Betrayers-Starforged-Lightsaber-Front.png But it sounds LAME! as if Micky Mouse dressed in a suit went all lawyer on them and threatened to sue their asses if they used any sounds that resemble a lightsaber. (which by the way not joking but is bioware having problems getting the copyrights for lightsaber sounds or something? since this has been a problem with ALL lightsabers coming out in cartel packs, where they look great but sound like crap) While on the other hand I LOVE the sounds of this http://tor-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Battlemasters-Striker-Thumb-145x145.png But this lightsaber and any with a crystal coming out of its @ss, does not resemble a lightsaber to me So my solution when you equip a weapon it maintains it's original sound effects, then have it to where you can skin the weapon with another weapons appearance but not it's sound effects. But of course i'm not a game designer and I don't have a cartoon mouse breathing down my neck

I agree Ebon hawk is nice I have a few characters on there for solely RP....but I don't think it is most populated

well lol having most of my main characters on POT5 even I knew that it is the least populated it seems like...hence the forum topic to move me off POT5 and onto a server with healthy population

I just now decided to come back and play more swtor....but I am seeing that the RP servers ebon hawk and Begeren Colony are heavy? O_O So I am confused because I heard that the RP servers are gimped so to speak, and the population doesn't actually represent logged on players, but rather a total percentage of how many characters made on that server that are logged in? I am so confused by that and wish population was just straight forward with how many live players are on that server. So can anyone help me I would much prefer to be on the most populated server with pvp leaning more towards republic players, thinking back to my old server Prophecy of the five we would get into warzone queues starting with 6 republic players just made the game so unenjoyable for me because it is not even fair. So if there is a a server that is heavily populated and pvp dominated by republic players to decrease my queue times let me know

One of the few things that swtor has going for it that other MMO's don't have is character customization especially with adaptive armor. However it is disappointing to see forum avatars based off the game lie...in reference http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/avatars/avatar159.gif http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/avatars/avatar46.gif http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/avatars/avatar28.gif http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/avatars/avatar16.gif http://cdn-www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/avatars/avatar26.gif all of these images are of forum avatars wearing a hood yet have hair still visible. These forum avatars have essentially been an advertisement of the game since pre-launch yet in game we go bald when we put our hoods on.

mmmhmm its been a problem since launch though I disagree on republic winning 55-60% of the time

I play on a few servers (Pot5 Ebon Hawk Begeren Colony) I play both republic and empire but my republic characters are in need of some love....queues for warzones on my republic toons both 55 and under 55 just get wrecked by empire on all 3 of the servers I play on. There is many problems I can think to why that is we don't have healers we have battle sages usually when I enter a warzone republic doesn't even start with all the players which really sucks for the arenas because empire gets a free win for the first round because its 2v4. Also queue times are long for FP on republic side but they are also long on empire too. So is there ANY server that I can transfer or reroll on that isn't just dominated by red lightsabers and the republic actually having a fighting chance? or should I just submit to the darkside?

I swear George Bush and his "no child left behind" law really screwed up our kids that they cant read, Thank you RowanThursday for reading and understanding the post....I wish other people ESPECIALLY ON FORUMS! would learn to read

Well a very slight reward that again players give out to other players for nothing, I would agree with the arguments made against my idea if it was more special and significant but its not, its just a buff that every player throws out there like a cheap dollar stripper. Now my argument would change if players started being more skimpy with buffs then it would suddenly become a luxury to have all 4 buffs...but this won't happen....your gunna cripple your team in PvE or PvP by not buffing them? If the reward for completing chapter two was a mount...or a title....or a weapon, or an armor set, that was unique and given only when you completed chapter two of a given class I would understand your guy's point entirely.....but this isn't the case as I said above these buffs are given away like halloween candy they hold no significance to the class now (they did before they allowed legacy unlock multiple class buffs)

bump I guess not much more to say I already signed and support this idea 10000000%

This is going to be simple and to the point, since the launch of CM we have all of these amazing armor sets.... But a lot of companions can't even wear visible armor In examples -Rusk:Can not wear visible helmets -Treek: lacking the ability to wear visible armor -Hk51: lacking the ability to wear visible armor -T7:lacking the ability to wear visible armor sets -Qyzen: No visible boots allowed no visible helmet allowed -Khem Val: Lacking the ability to wear visible armor -SCORPIO: lacking the ability to wear visible armor -Broonmark: lacking the ability to wear visible armor - Blizz: lacking the ability to wear visible armor -Bowdaar: lacking the ability to wear visible armor -M1-4X: lacking the ability to wear visible armor And I guess we can also mention the ship droids So for the next companion I suggest that who ever he or she is that they have the ability to be dressed visibly from head to toe

I'm this color

rather than just respond to what we are saying in the most negative attitude possible why don't you come up with good counter argument as to WHY it shouldn't be this way, rather than feed off our legitimate reasonable reasons why we think this would work out for a lot of players. You have yet to conjure your own post, without a quote, of saying Hi this won't work out because blah blah blah No one has...everyone has just been nope don't do it, the reason why I think you guys disagree is most of you who have responded did the work to unlock this and you won't feel like special little children if it will be purchasable.... News flash its a VIDEO game, a dieing game at that, you never were special! Even if you unlocked all 8 class buffs. Even if by some mental lapse you feel special, then I feel sorry for you because your special feelings will be crushed in 6-10 years from now when bioware pulls the plug, and that's being generous

No I obviously didn't smart one If you read my post you would have noticed I never once believed you were serious. Why don't you actually take some time and read what I replied, rather than say "you thought I was serious!??!?!?!"

That's taking it to the extreme please reevaluate what I am asking for, asking for the ability to get buffs, a 5% increase on skill, which are given FREE ALL THE TIME from players, never once did I need to fork over credits to get buffed! If you pop into a warzone at the beginning you usually get ALL buffs! Not only that but even on the fleet random people will target you and buff you without even needing to ask. So in short I should queue for warzones get buffed then leave? causing the players in the warzone to be short one player? Well ok If thats what you want so I can get all the buffs then so be it. See I can be a smart alec too. The buffs should have been universal or no buffs anyways since there are a grand spanking total of 4 its nothing compared to the entertainer from star wars galaxies. Your being ridiculous over a request to have the ability to purchase 4....4! 5% increase buffs? and you are comparing that to being able to buy max PvP gear and ability to Craft 31 hilts and armors? get over yourself You are comparing playing the game for days at end (it takes longer to get max PvP gear and Social X then to get to chapter 2 on a character) comparing that to having a purchasable convenience I wouldn't even call it a purchasable advantage because BUFFS ARE FREE ... a purchasable advantage is like the level 10 41+ stat color crystals (which this is a bigger advantage than purchasable buffs) buy one color crystal for 50k credits unlock it permanently account wide for 60 cartel coins boom 41 crit endurance power or expertise, and not just for you but can essentially print as many of those out and stick it in Kira's lightsaber, Tharan's Blaster pistol, HK51's butt.....way more of an advantage then 5% increase to a stat.

This post is awesome!!! I second it, cause not only does it go into further detail of how laziness is a big business in the real world, but also brings up the good point about players who may not be able to play for long to grind this legacy reward. I am guilty of it, I use rocket boosts on all my characters, all my characters go into collections whipping out level 10 +41 endurance crystals and pulling out treek. Asking for buyable buffs is not so unreasonable considering the huge advantages of collection level 10 color crystals...or even collection armor, being able to get a full set of orange when the first orange helmet you are supposed to get at level 19 I believe? Or what about Legacy perk speeder piloting? being able to ride through Coruscant makes it a lot faster and coming from a guy who played since launch when SPRINT wasn't available til level 14! and speeder license level 25! you don't see me butt hurt about it even though these new players don't get to experience the torture of walking through Taris like I did, and that's because if it was my first play through I would buy this perk too. The reason being is because why walk when you can ride? Whether its Real Life or on a video game the general equation is walking sucks, driving a car is awesome Not to mention you could probably PM any player with the class buff you need to buff you for free for an hour...or just go into a warzone and not die, so why is it such a huge request to ask bioware to allow me the ability to be fully buffed without needing to go into a warzone to get all 4 buffs Thanks for backing me up I would respond to PaxSithari, but your post was already the perfect response to PaxSithari

I understand that but that furthers my point that there could be even more classes that don't appeal to players, all the imps that I've met throughout my play through since launch say "screw republic I ain't playing on republic blah blah" I see no harm in it, players who earned it got something for free.....players who didn't earn it have to pay for it I may be lazy but how about I revise this to say unlock buffs for account wide rather than legacy? for me that would be perfect since I play on multiple servers and have multiple characters varying levels and varying legacy perks/levels....In one server I have 3 buffs unlocked another 2 buffs unlocked....it isn't really fair considering I have already did the required work to unlock this...I mean another request I guess would be to have legacy be account bound instead of server bound. Furthermore this should already be possible since races can be unlocked with cartel coins or by completing the game with a desired race...its essentially the same concept, though I bet you guys were probably the same way when this came out "just reroll on the race you want don't buy it, you are lazy if you buy it." regardless of what your opinions are, bioware does what it needs to for business and the people who make up the games population generally are in North America and we are pretty damn lazy...let bioware make a buck or two off that laziness that is what most any job is all about Look at these examples of these type of jobs that profit off peoples laziness Mcdonalds for instance "make crappy unhealthy food cause i'm too lazy to cook." Dog sitting service "Watch my yappity little dog cause i'm too lazy to take care of it." Starbucks "Make horrible coffee at a ridiculous price, cause i'm too lazy to brew a pot at home" Car Wash "Wash my car cause im to lazy to do it and im going through a mid life crisis and think women will like me rolling up in my freshly washed corolla"

This is ridiculous not every class appeals to everyone, and not everyone has a desire to play a new character up to chapter 2 to unlock the legacy buffs especially those of us who are on barren servers Lazy people in warzones who don't buff is really quite annoying, its been a problem since launch and I have to resort to going in ops chat and saying BUFF! and even then they still don't buff. in example I have knight buff and consular buff unlocked...I die and im waiting at the gate, a smuggler dies and stands at the gate waiting....I buff them immediately like I do with anyone, giving them 2 buffs and they just stand there without buffing me or themselves for that matter D: Whether its 60, 120, 300, or even 600 Cartel Coins per buff, I think its a good idea! I'm sure plenty of people will unlock all the buffs just to get it over with! That way they don't need to rely on strangers to buff them.

That isn't the point, we shouldn't need to bribe to get queue pops that is putting a band-aid on the bigger issue.
