  1. There is an idea there - but just too open to abuse. Team of 4, "mercy" number of times in a row, weekly completed in 10 minutes. I too do not understand the joy of slaughtering opponents. I've been on both sides of it - if I'm on a team that is obviously stronger I tend to just hang around one of our own nodes, not going to chase people down for cheap thrills. If you're on the end of a slaughtering not a lot you can do really - stealth players can go off and hide I guess I don't do arenas - I just quit those as soon as they pop. I never wanted to do them, they are in 99% of cases one-sided and as BW refuse to use separate queues for them I'm afraid I just quit - I do so quickly though, hopefully it's time enough for a backfill.
  2. So you are having a problem - makes the game not Windows 10 compatible? So long as the research has been done and the evidence collected fairly I cannot possibly see why that isn't a fair statement..... Problem with your setup I'm afraid. Run a Win 10 refresh, that'll fix and bad and corrupted files. Both NVidia and AMD drivers recently have been problematic and you need to turn-down or switch off certain features for them to work correctly with SWTOR - that's what you get when a games company refuses to pay the yearly subscription for the "Supported by......." status from the graphics card companies - issues in drivers are not fixed in a timely manner.
  3. Only reason I'm upset Koth has gone is because I'd spent some serious credits getting him to 50 affection and was using him as my main crafting mule.
  4. "Day of playtime" comes in at about 30p. You really want that 45p back?
  5. LOL. There was a couple of firemen over a two year period who were arrested and then jailed for starting fires so that they could put them out. There have been at least a couple of police who have "staged their own crimes" so that they get the recognition. Do NOT thank Bioware for fixing what they broke!
  6. So once again we have some people with "buyers remorse" who want to blame anybody but themselves, then start threatening to "sue" or get their money back another way. There is no refund for being upset you purchased something - but I'm sure it's everyone's fault but your own.
  7. Yup - add me to this list - Synthweaver. Went to my trainer and collected the new 501 schematics - when you choose to train those they don't actually disappear from the trainers list, although if you click them again you get a message about already knowing. Attempt to craft something - totally blank list of schematics.
  8. Shroud of the Avatar is still one I'm playing (although still in beta). I took part in the Kickstarter, this is Richard Garriott's spiritual successor to UO. I am still here and the fact I'm posting here I'm still subbed - but under no illusion that will last forever and I refuse to get excited about a stack increase. Anyway, few more hours until we get some more cinematics, sorry, content!
  9. As the majority of heroics are instanced - what makes you think they are disrupting lower levels?
  10. If the prospect of getting a stack increase from 99 to 9999 is getting you all excited - genuinely it is time for you to look for a new game to play.
  11. I'm still assuming OP is trolling.
  12. Why would it be an oversight or bug? You weren't around when the Party Jawa was, you haven't got it, you cannot get the achievement. Life - afraid you can never gain 100% of it.
  13. There will never be a "Yoda race" companion and for that you can be 100% sure.
  14. Sorry - but no, this is not Microsoft's fault at all. This is software companies not bothering to code with Windows features in mind. UAC is an important addition to Windows as it protects the OS - you don't tend to run in Linux as Root and you shouldn't be running Windows as administrator. With the correct coding UAC shouldn't be an issue in any way shape or form for any application - but EA are as lazy as many others out there and put the emphasis on you as an end user having to do all the work rather than them. If you want to go back in time even further, it is bad coding from software houses that meant we were stuck with the old Win9x code for so long. Microsoft were ready to move everyone over to a standard platform back in 2000 - but lazy software houses couldn't work out / didn't want to work out how to code around a HAL. The HAL is what kept the NT code so stable as no application was allowed to directly access the hardware. But no, lazy games coders meant that we had to suffer WinME and a further few years until XP eventually became the standard platform.
  15. I'm looking forward to the series of cinematics which will almost certainly make up chapter 10. I'm expecting around 15-20 minutes of gameplay to at least the same again of just watching the game play by itself.
  16. I cannot understand how anyone would want to take more than a couple of characters through the latest expansion. The 3hrs of cinematics for chapters 1-9 make you want to cry. I've taken two through (one from each faction) which I will attempt to build a faction with. I've taken 2 more through - they will never build reputation up. All my other characters level to 65 as far away from the expansion as possible. You aren't going to miss anything by only running a couple of characters through - not as if the story changes at all.
  17. And this game is exactly the same. If you buy a speeder for real money (for the cartel market or via packs) then you can pay to unlock it for all your characters. We should not start allowing unlocks for non-cm items. If items can be bought from vendors or are drops (no matter how rare) then they should not be added to collections.
  18. It amazes me that there are still people in this world that are willing to accept broken and sub-standard products and then go on to criticise others if they make their voice heard. This is a company who are paid to give the community a working product, yet they haven't bothered attempting to fix it nor patch their product for nearly 3 months. People are spending their time attempting to gain achievements that are broken and are rightfully voicing their concern that this is simply not fair. I'm gonna guess you're the kind of person who tips in a restaurant even if the service is poor. That you never actually tell other people about bad service you receive from somewhere, you simply "take it on the chin" and then attempt to find the one good thing they have done instead. This is why companies continue to ship unfinished products and refuse to fix their mistakes - because there are people like you not only willing to accept this, but to compliment them too.
  19. ...and hopefully no such thing will ever exist. There is a part of the playerbase who don't know what "pay to win" means - the ability to buy endgame tokens for cash would be very much "pay to win".
  20. All of my "planet conqueror" titles have transferred except for Hoth. Now I'd like to think that if I were to conquer Hoth again then it would go through - but I doubt it. Because I'm also guessing that it is the "conqueror of......planet" achievement that triggers the entry under Galactic Conqueror. In other words, yet another bug, yet again something broken and yet again unlikely something they will bother to fix when: A. They have an hour or two worth of cinematics, sorry, story expansion, sorry content to roll-out each month which takes up their whole ten members of staff B. If doesn't affect your ability to buy cartel coins or spend them
  21. I fully agree that if people are using any kind of exploit to interfere with a world boss fight then they should be reported and action should be taken. Until action is taken they will keep on doing it. However cannot agree with "tagging a world boss". The world boss doesn't belong to anyone in the same way that no MOB or resource node or chest belongs to anyone until it has been claimed. There is no "saw it - mine" concept in the game and really that should be the way it remains. So you're group is taking it's time getting sorted for the world boss and another group come in and engage it - sorry, you really should have been quicker. So another group come in and engage with only half their team - once again that was an option open to you but you didn't take it. Exploits and cheats need to be reported, but "I saw it first but they attacked it" really couldn't be and shouldn't be added to the game.
  22. If your companion got the "killing blow" you won't get credit. Need to place companion on passive when boss almost killed.
  23. Guys - you do realise there hasn't been a patch for 2+ months right? It won't be fixed until there has been one - and then only if it is deemed important enough to be included. It won't fix without a patch.
  24. LOL Proof if anything that BW can take dumps from a hight on people and then just hand over some fluff and people are running back, willing to forgive everything. No wonder BW put no effort into the game. Hand over some fluff and a scary amount of the community start swooning.
