Thankyou!! somebody notices this problem, its such a pain in the ***. Fluidity > Animation I'm sick of having problems mounting up... Sick of being in a bg, seeing a enemy cast something, and by time i push my keybind to counter it, its already missed and wasted because of the delay. The game engine needs to be fixed.

This is exactly what I want. People who don't want it, are just threatened by it. I think this will be a great idea, and pretty sure they have confirmed it. Would love a combat log also.

I hated Nar'shadda, just does not make sense for a planet to be a tree linear formation of movement.

Not sure which live podcast I heard it on, but Stephen Reid has confirmed it will be ingame after launch. So it most definetly will be ingame.

Just set everything to on.. and when ur about to cast something, pres CTRL 1 first.. I hate my companion for combat also, but it doesnt really matter.

You guys confuse me... go buy ship upgrades... I've never failed any, and ive done them all upto lvl 43 [Current toon].. i do them alot.. doesnt seem hard enough for me..

Thankyou, would be nice if I knew how to get this stickied Previous JC Sage thread was stickied.

Ok, so this is not a blah blah 2000 que complain.. But this is absolutely infuriating.. I have been in 3 2000 person ques because I play for 40 minutes.. Get disconnected then have to wait all over again... Can we please have atleast a 2 minute grace period so that we can come back in? Seriously Bioware.. you need to pick it up. Quality > Quantity Give the players what they want and stop wasting our time and money! What will solve problems? Give us Oceanics a damn server! Americans want it.. Oceanic people want it... just do it.. its not rocket science! Servers that have a 2000 person que.. Extend the server. ok, take ur time.. but its been like this since day one.. what is gonna happen at launch? And finally.. GIVE US A DISCONNECT GRACE PERIOD.. 40 minutes of play time... then have to wait for 2-3 hours... 3 times in a day... and 2 times everyday for the last 3 days! Pick...it...up... What was the stress test for if the game is like this? Done with my rambling.. im sure ill get tons of trolls.. so im not gonna reply, but this is my 2 damn cents that I know bioware will just ignore.. [Edit] I will say however... its a very good game..koodous.. just pick it up

Thankyou, updated. Thankyou all for your posts If you have any more Frequently used and more widely known, I would love to add them to the list.

Would love to some opinions.

Just be patient, they will add servers to Swiftsure so that It can hold more players. It's the most populated server for a reason, and when Bioware get it thru their thick skulls, they will bring Oceanic servers with free transfers, then you won't have a problem.

Hello all, As I am using information from Database websites I would like the communities points, opinions and facts. I'm doing a little theory crafting to see what Crew Skills, if any would give the user a advantage whether it be slight or drastic. From the looks of in-game and database information, it seems for any high-end raiding guild or PvP guild [Exclude cybertech for PvP] looking to Min-Max will require players to have Biochem. This is because of the 60min Buff[Already a Pro] not only does it give more stats then a green or blue's version but also does not consume on use. Secondly, the 15 second pots and Medpacks also do not consume and give the most Stat upgrades. My question to the community is, is this true? Is Biochem this Overpowered to other crew-skills. Do the purple unconsumables beat the blue and green version? Do you think other Crew-skills have there advantage for Min-Maxers? TL;DR Is Biochem the must have Crew-Skill to Min-Maxers? Would also appreciate links and proof -EDIT- Also, if this is the case do you think Bioware should nerf them so it becomes completely equal and possible Underpowered incompared to other Crew-Skills?

The amount of abbreviations are limited at this time, more will be added and updated soon. Also, their just some abbreviation my theorycrafting team uses frequently, as I said, things change.
