Aren't 5 and 6 already in the game?

Is this actually true. Do you have to have a Sub to post? Somehow I doubt much will change.

Yup, because Bethesda releases are known for being super bug free at release! Good luck with that. *seriously all for a game for every boy and girl no matter what it happens to be*

I am being objective. I've tried the game. I'm enjoying it on many levels and will keep playing. If you don't like the look of the game and it's a deal-breaker for you, so be it. You have every right to vote with your dollars. I'm not going to go anywhere based on others' expectations of the game, that doesn't make much sense on a personal level. I can empathize with people that wanted a certain level of detail in the game that they're not finding currently and I can understand them going to find their entertainment elsewhere until this game does live up to their expectations. I can also understand their disappointment because I know that many were looking forward to this storyline and gaming style. Those that feel they're somehow entitled to legal compensation however... goodness that's just sad. Every video game in history has been advertised with it's cut-scenes more-so than any actual gameplay shots. This is nothing new.

I didn't like the headgear either. Don't mind the robes. Another player, thanks OldPhart, gave me an orange gear headband that's great to level up. There are pants out there as well that you can modify if you want to ditch the "dress". I'm still working on finding the ideal chest-piece. So just leveling up green, blue, or purple will give you the stylized Consular look which is evidently not what you enjoy but it's entirely possible to come up with gear that you do like you just have to poke around. Check the light side vendors on each planet as well as the commendation vendors they tend to have various non pre-modded orange gear. It's part of the game, part of the hunt, and supposed to be part of the fun if you choose to look at it that way. Have fun finding a look that you enjoy!

Seriously? It's not how the game is designed currently and he should just be able to play the way he wants. It's not a Dual Spec world... Yet... The QQ has that coming later. Right now you have to have more than one toon, a network of folks to help fill in the roles, look a little harder for PUG's, or deal with the re-spec costs if you want to run heroics in trinity format. This IS the design of the game. If he wants to play this way so bad, let him pay, high re-spec costs are part of the deal. I would love it if I could deck out my Consular in heavy armor but guess what... It's not how the game works. That's not a bug or a flaw it's simply a rule of the game. The Devs have already suggested that Dual-spec is in the works. Have patience and play the game as it's laid out until then.

PayPal here.

I don't understand these threads. If you don't want to play, fine. Why the drama? If you want to point out areas where you think the game can improve that's great. You have some good points... though dripping with hyperbole. Hope you find some gaming you do enjoy! I will say this. NO REQUIRED SWOOP RACES PLEASE! If folks want to race around that's fine but don't *make* me do it in a storyline. Thanks, Jai

You have two more... enable them.

I may be wrong here but you don't get ANY experience for resting. Simply the capacity to earn more XP when playing the game. The longer you rest the longer that bonus lasts. So you're only gaining potential XP, not actual points. When the game first arrived I had a nasty habit of falling asleep while playing therefore negating this bonus entirely. Yellow bar FTW!

As long as they're off by default, OK by me. The screen is already overpopulated with data.

At 25 starting to really pay attention to stealth tactics is critical. You also really need to make sure you're getting the appropriate stuns and interrupts into your rotation. Strategy rather than strength is the motto soloing with a shadow. Now if you could just get Qyzen to understand when you have someone CC'd not to bum rush them! lol!

Well it is intended to be an internal effect to the target. I can see why it would have a diminished out appearance effect wise. I agree it's not flashy or exciting to use but for what it's supposedly doing it makes sense.

Glad you got your Creds back. I can see them being wary of this sort of thing just from organized groups wanting to use CS as a credit or gear farm. 100K for me is a lot of work. I guess it's time to figure out this crew skills thing...

My system performed much better with 8 over 4 in this game. Just because the game doesn't use that much doesn't mean that folks don't realize how much other stuff is actually happening in the background.

Have you tried teaming up with someone for friendlies to get your rotations and movement down yet? That should help. A big key in this game is interrupts, make sure you're using them. Don't worry I have a lot of l2p on my agenda too...

I get tired of Double Strike quite a bit as the animation and sound is less than appealing and it's really the only viable spam attack. Other than that I enjoy having it especially for deflections and spinning strike.

Shadow Infiltrator is definitely squishy. Since my kiting skills are still being developed I've just accepted the fact that I need to use the GTN to gear up a little ahead of drops and that I need to come do the bosses when I'm a level ahead. It's not a huge deal for me as there's enough content and possibility to level outside of the class story but I gotta admit that it can get frustrating. I still have a lot of l2p to happen so I accept the handicap but you just have to adjust to what's needed. Does not Force Cloak work to help you get set on Voss or are they seeing through the stealth too quickly?

The upgrades for the companions are not nearly as nice as some of the specialty gear out there. Additional $.02 Not directed at loudent. If you're with a new group you should discuss it. Otherwise it's not anyone's fault if anyone makes assumptions about how it's done. To kick someone without laying down some guidelines first is circumspect. I ask when I don't know.

Which is interesting because the game was intended to be ME or KOTOR crossed with some MMO aspects. It's fine not to enjoy that type of gaming. What's interesting to me is how many are coming to this game and wanting it to be something other than this. Not saying that you're in this category. It just seems to me many folks ignored what Bioware has done before or knew and are still amazed that they would make a game like this one. It's Mass Effect and KOTOR that brought me to the game and as such I love it. I get it why the Hard Core PvP and Hard Core Raid folks have issues. It'll be very interesting to see what influence changes the game more. Improvements and additions to the game based on the original vision by the developers, or a morph into something a little different due to the pressure of the folks that are more interested in end game of another sort.

Have you checked the Dev Tracker?

I can understand thinking it could be better... but really, ruining the Game? Wow, just wow.

I'm afraid this sums it up. Also keep in mind that the Sith characters can turn dark side effects off in their features so you can't really tell alignment on sight.

Mail wouldn't be delivered unless docked at either a space station or a planet if you want to have continuity in regards to physical item inclusion. Seems more likely than sending a chestplate through the tubes that you purchased at the market at a random mailbox. Certainly I don't see this as even close to being pressing concern but it would be a nice touch.

I would love it if people would simply take the time to actually use the system in place. If it proves no one can do that then I wouldn't mind a separate channel. Last night on Ord Mantell in Ven Zallow I wanted to turn general chat completely off as it was filled with complete buffoonery including name calling, racism, sexism, and lack of any respect in general. Trying to communicate with others about gameplay was just a joke. On an RP server no less.
