Are you sure you're using the actual door, and not the escape pod door? I've never tried using an escape pod, so I don't know exactly what happens, but the door for the Smuggler ship is down an extra set of steps to the left from the escape pod door. If that's not the issue, I have no idea what you mean. I can get in and out of my ship fine (Smuggler), except when crashing to desktop every 10 minutes.

You seem to be thinking of Star TREK. Star Wars has a much more varied collection of alien species. Bioware simply did not choose to use any of them for playable species because story-wise it's more difficult for the typical player to relate to their character if it's not mostly humanoid.

It's wonderful that the server you play on has so many people. However, a great many other servers are not as booming as yours. A great many people had the misfortune to pick a server that later dwindled into a ghost town. If you cannot comprehend and empathize with that, then perhaps your contribution to the thread is not helpful.

I refuse to create a Jedi Knight character until they fix the hood issue and the big booty issue. Which sucks, because I really want to make a JK.

This is a good idea. It would certainly help save me from wasting time getting interested in the dialogue, only to see [HEROIC 4] show up on the quest tracker, followed immediately by me abandoning the quest, since there's virtually no chance I'll find a group, even leveling as a healer. Honestly though, I'm curious as to how soon they just go ahead and nerf all the [HEROIC 4] missions into [HEROIC 2+] missions, or even nerf all [HEROIC] missions into normals. I hate to bring up that other game, but it had a lot of group oriented leveling quests that were nerfed into normals because everyone just ignored them.

Because tranquilizer can only be used while in stealth and out of combat. And as stated, it's not the CC itself that causes the mob to aggro, it's the debuff that gets applied due to the Sawbones talent. What needs to happen is the debuff should not be applied unless the mob is engaged in combat, either by direct attacks or being part of linked group. Or the debuff just does not aggro. If you tranq something and walk a large distance away, the mob will almost immediately go into evade mode and reset. At the very least, that should occur if everyone is out of combat. It's just absurd that a mob that has been incapacitated by a tranquilizer for 60 seconds can somehow know exactly where the person that tagged him is, even when stealthed.

I admire your enthusiasm for wanting to come up with ideas to add some dynamic events into the game. However, if you're not already aware, you and those like you with this mindset are exactly what a great many gamers find so distasteful about PvP. It's great that you obviously love PvP, I'm happy for you. What's not great is your compulsion to insult or otherwise talk down to anyone who does not share your feelings on PvP. If PvPers ever want to be taken seriously, especially in an MMO setting, the condescending attitude for PvE players needs to stop. To be a bit more on topic, the biggest problem with an event like you have in mind is the overwhelming faction imbalances. There's not much strategy and teamwork to put together when a /who search of your entire faction turns up less results than size of the attacking gankers.

So you are enraged because Bioware gave a compliment to one group of customers, but that compliment didn't cover you, and so you just assumed that meant they are insulting you instead. If your little sister was going to prom, and someone mentioned how beautiful she looked all dressed up, would you be mad that somehow they were implying you were ugly? I would hope not, because the comment was meant for her, regarding a specific circumstance. It's not about you.

It's not a punishment, nor is Bioware calling you a "crappy customer". I didn't see anywhere in the announcement stating that they were specifically not giving free game time to people without 50's because they are "crappy customers". It is, however, a treat for all the level 50 players who were expecting rated warzones in the patch, only to have that pulled at the last second. It's also a bone for the 50's standing around moaning about nothing to do. Considering that, how else would you expect them to word the announcement? "Hey all you whiners and suckers who were just waiting for rated warzones, here's a month"? No, customer service 101 is you compliment whatever part of the customer base you are referring to, especially when you're compensating them for something unpleasant. Just because they didn't give YOU a compliment, doesn't mean they are insulting you by default. Stop getting bent out of shape because you chose to read too much into how they worded something. EDIT - No, I do not have a level 50. The free game time doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I assume this veiled rage post is about the unexpected maintenance. If that's the case, then clearly you haven't played that other game, or you'd remember down times, crashes, glitches, and other problems 10 times worse every single major patch. It's one day of fixing things. I'm sure you can find something else to do for one day.

It's 1 day. ONE day. If you are so enraged because you cannot play a video game for one day, I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

If you canceled a date with a girl just so you could go raiding, you have a serious problem, and deserve every second of this downtime.

Did you guys even bother to read WHY they were brought down again? Chill.

They could simply add an option to deposit credits into the bank, and have a restriction on bound items like a guild bank would have. Much easier than constantly sending pointless mail from one character to the other.

Here's the thing. Sure, we didn't know what new class/race combos were coming in each expansion of wow ahead of time. But that's because they were reserved for expansions - years away. If I know that no new class/race combos would even be possible for a few years until a new expansion hits, sure I'd probably just make an alt with whatever options are currently available and deal with it later. But THIS game is just over a week old, and a feature claiming to encourage alt rolling with the possibility of different class/race options is possibly weeks away. Now, if I know those different options are coming much sooner than years from now, I'm now going to hold off on creating new characters until I have details. Do you understand the difference now? As a side note, I'm also hoping for information about what impact deleting characters may have. Does all the legacy experience gained by a character get removed if the character is deleted? Is there going to be an issue if the original character that unlocked legacy is deleted?
