So are you saying that Amazon doesn't have that little thing at the bottom of their product saying something like "People who buy this also buy....." Therefore trying to entice people to go look at those products and buy them?

This is how I would make a 'Hardcore' server. This would only require changes to the Flashpoints and Ops. Make is so that you cannot be rezzed in a FP or Ops. If you die, you are locked out of the FP/Ops for that group. No Battle Rez avaliable either. Noone but the original group can enter the FP/Ops until it is complete or reset. In FPs only. Groups who wipe can re-enter the FP after a 4 hour wait. Groups who finish (even the players who died) can re-enter immediately if they so desire. Players cannot 'reset' HM/NM manually. This would mean that groups who lose 1 or 2 members fighting content would have a harder and harder time beating the next content because they have less people. Add an "Insane" mode to both Flashpoints and Ops. All Non-boss mobs increase in 'lvl' by 1 (from weak->Normal, Nomal->strong, ect). Bosses and Champion mods get 20% increase in Damage on all attacks. Players who survive to the end of the FP/Ops get a Title stating something like "HM False Emporer" or if on NM (NM False Emporer" So that they can show to everyone how 'epeen' they are. Players who died in the instance get nothing. Would this make the epeen hardcore crowd happier?

Question for everyone blaming the Engine. Ever think it might be because BW created a game with cloth physics? I don't know many games that have it in it, but I do know that calculating cloth physics is CPU (or GPU depending) intensive. The more people you have in an area, the more time spent on just rendering their clothes. It wouldn't matter if the Engine was the greatest most optimized Engine in the world. The more calculations for cloth you have the worse it gets. This is just a guess from observations, not a claim that this is fact. On a secondary note, I have noted my FPS drops heavily when I am running Chrome in the background of my system. Shutting down Chrome speeds up my FPS by 10 or more. (A Fun experiment someone could do with lots of friends.) Find a secluded place with your friends. Make sure everyone is wearing Robes/Capes Have everyone move around and note the FPS (preferably it being dropped below 40 or so) Have everyone either switch clothes (to not having robes/capes) or remove them. Have everyone move around again and note FPS (see if it is different)

I would love it at some point to allow Guilds to build their own space station/fleet. These would be there for the quasi-PVP aspect. One group builds the Station/Fleet using their own resources and then it gets 'evaluated' based on how many resources/(and other stuff) to decide which tier of challenge it is. Then Players from opposing factions can run their space mission against it. They could take out the station and the fleet and have fights like that. Of course, to be fair to the Guild who built it, they shouldn't have to rebuild the fleet every time some enemy destroyed it (that would really annoy players). But they might have to do 'minor repairs' to the fleet after so many Ops runs against it. Maybe give the guild who built it 'fleet points' for every ops that ran against it so they can expand or build a new fleet. This of course would require the OPs original idea to be almost fully implemented before it could happen. this would allow players to feel like they are more part of the world because they are creating content for it.

Enemies without def 90% acc means you have a 9/10 hit ratio against enemies with no def 100% acc means you have a 10/10 hit ratio against enemies with no def 110% acc means you have a 10/10 hit ratio against enemies with no def Now we add in enemies def 90% acc means you have a 9/10 hit CHANCE and a 10% def means they will block ~1/9 of those hits 100% acc means you have a 10/10 hit CHANCE and a 10% def means they will block 1/10 of those hits 110% acc means you have a 10/10 hit CHANCE and a 10% def means they will block 0/10 of those hits (becuase 10% extra acc decreases their def value.) I can't be sure on how much acc over 100 does decrease def but I will go with the assumption of a 1/1 ratio until told otherwise or until I bother to test it thoroughly.

Might I recommend collecting every datacron that you can access? not just the 3 colored ones. You can attempt a HM flashpoint with only 2 people and companions to see how well you fair. You can roll an alt on either the same faction or different and try the other story missions. You can collect all the lore objects. You can attempt to collect all the vehicals (even the LS/DS ones) You can attempt to collect all the pets (even the LS/DS ones) You can explore every area and open up all the map locations. Collect the Magenta crystal. Try and find it without using a guide. Hint: Tatoone -> Hoth -> Ilum There are many other things you can do if you just put your mind to it. Not everything in a game that is fun requires a dev to make it for you.

You can get pets in the game. The LS/DS vendors have some as well as random other locations for them. They are all tiny robots (to my knowledge) that follow you around.

Because sometimes people want to be able to walk slowly to get to something. Be it because they have to cross a small ledge or because they want to jump to a spot that requires precision control to get to. Letting a person turn off sprint allows them to do this.

I don't know about you, but I don't remember many people being able to jump as high as most characters in games do. If you are really upset about Newton's laws being broken, I would recommend going to talk to Nintendo about Mario's ability to almost fly every jump. Bioware has done no worse on jumping abilities than any other MMO that allows it. P.S. I believe the elevators are moving more quickly than what RL elevators do also. Meaning comparing an elevator in RL to one in the game doesn't work in the first place. If you really want to have elevators work 'better' they would probably have to be slowed down a decent bit. Causing no end of complaints about slow elevators.

Anything that is attached to the internet CAN be hacked. That saying, it is much more difficult to hack a persons game if they have the security key. Still not impossible, but less likely to happen. Other good habits to protect yourself.... 1) Don't go to questionable sites 2) Keep your virus scanners up to date 3) Never visit a gold farmers site 4) Obviously never give your account info away to anyone 5) Don't use the same email for this game as you might for other MMOs (because if they get your email address from another MMO they can try to break into this one by guessing your password). I am sure I am missing many security tips that could protect you more.

Not all relics are light/dark. Check the GTN and see if there are any for sale that don't have an alignment. Also, Relic drops from OPs and HM FPs (i know I got it somewhere, but don't remember) are not Light/Dark either. At least some of them aren't

Because going around collecting pieces of armor that have +2 over your previous one is a better way to increase your stats. /sarcasm Each person has their own way to do what they enjoy. You are not Required to have it unless you want to run with a group that Does require it. (which is a group decision, not BW forcing it on you). Some people just love getting max of EVERYTHING in a game. Some people are completionists and that is how they enjoy a game.

Its not because you care whether I have any future involvement with you. Its because I care about not having future involvement in a company that has management being proud of illegal activities.

Do you mind telling me which company you work for? I am not going to do anything against you, I just want to know which company I should completely avoid in my future dealings. Maybe just the industry you work in?

By using your logic, Industry Standard requires all games to come out with multiple expansion packs immediately to sell, since "the biggest dog on the block has it" They should also have everything that most of the users from that game complain has ruined it, since it has them. And all new games should have Pandas since they have it too. Your logic would make every game exactly like them and noone would have a reason to change MMOs. People want some kind of innovation (look up the actual meaning of Innovation) in a MMO, not the exact same things as all previous games had.

You could always do it on the other faction. I mean, that would be a new content to level against. A completely different story for all quests and all. Its not like you HAVE to level on the same faction you leveled on already.

So the complaint is that if you have maxed one side of LS/DS that if you do an opposite choice you are punished? So if you are fully evil and drown a bag of kittens every day in game (just saying) and one day you choose to free them instead, you cannot use your full DS powers until you redeem yourself by doing more evil. I am failing to see how this is a problem.

How much room are you looking for anyway? You do know that you can expand your own Cargo hold right? If you need more room than 4 cargo hold bays then you might want to think about cleaning them out more often.

If you feel it is so easy to take on a daily and need a sense of achievement for it, you can always Make it more challenging. Take off a piece of gear and see how easy it is. The next day take off a second until it gets to be challenging. That way you could have the sense of achievement of succeeding while wearing nothing but your weapon (if you are that good). You can make anything an achievement if you are willing to put thought behind making it so. Also, if you find it so easy to do the dailies, run the Heroic 2+/4 dailies without help. That should be 'challenging' enough for people who only do things for a sense of achievement and still net them some money too.

It takes about a half hour or less to do the Ilum dailies on the Republic side (assuming you either skip or have the 2 people required for the Heroic). That nets you 10K per Daily + change from trash drops. That is about 40-50 K (60-80K with the Heroic) for 30 minutes of work. Not hard to get and can be done quickly each day. If you aren't willing to put that much effort into the game to be able to do ops, maybe you should look into why you are playing the game in the first place. As for people who say that they don't want to do dailies because they are fighting the same boring enemies over and over. Why are you running an OP (which has the SAME enemies over and over) if you are bored with doing the same thing over and over?

No LS jedi can use Red sabers in SWTOR

Just because BW has stated that you CAN play with neutral characters doesn't mean they promised you to be as powerful as someone who plays full LS/DS. -You can play a Tank with low End, that doesn't mean BW has to make you as good a take as someone who focused on mitigation and End. -You could even play a guy who doesn't like to carry a weapon. Should BW have to make sure that your unarmed fighting is as good as someone who carries a blaster/lightsaber? No, they shouldn't. Just because you can do something in the game does not mean it is the developers responsibility to make it as powerful as everything else. BW has stated that they are looking into adding Neutral items in. They aren't required to, but they are willing to take the time and effort to cater to your (and other requester s) whims.

OP, you are making unfounded claims without actually doing any investigation (or forum searching) Although the LS/DS points are capped at 10000, you can still get one side to the max even if you choose the opposite choices. Anyone who has reached LS/DS max can probably tell you that if you get 10000LS points and 10 DS points (making a total of 9990 LS) that the next LS point award you get drops your DS points to 0 (making a total of 10000 and making you lvl 5 LS). You can ALWAYS reach max LS/DS points no matter what you chose. Personal Example: I have Diplomacy and am at 10000 LS points. Every time I send my Companions on a mission that is DS, I lose my "The Pure" title as I have dropped from LS 5 to LS 4. Every time after that I get more LS points to offset that, my DS points are 0 and I get the title "The Pure" again. This has been happening for almost a week now for me. OP, Please stop making up claims that are not true and trying to scare people.

I think that it would not only make it more involved, but allow people to feel that the space missions were more fun. I have seen a lot of complaining on the forums about how they are just a Star Fox rip off and 'this is 2012'. This would take a concept they already have implemented and expand it greatly. Of course, the poor designers would have to completely revamp the missions to allow for this kind of play. Otherwise it would be extremely boring to run through a mission where your ally finished off all of the enemies before you aimed at them.

Couldn't he have accepted someone else won the roll and just ran the FP over again? Calling it mature by giving into someone who is being immature is incorrect. To give into a person who is acting like a child to get what they want is not maturity. The OP had the right to chose his conversation the way he wanted it to go. The GL had the right to chose his way. The game chose to let the OP win and therefore the GL should have accepted that. Anything else is the Group Leaders fault for acting like a spoiled child.
