I think they can fix this by letting all subscribers get access to the new content starting on Thursday or Friday. That way the original Early Access earners still feel like they were rewarded and the new subs can still enjoy the content. Having multiple tiers of early access is standard in the industry.

Can we please get an unfettered trenchcoat with a t-shirt?

I completely agree. I just purchased the mask today and was disappointed it lacked voice modulation.

This is it for me. I haven't unsubscribed yet but I feel like I will soon. The game is too linear and lifeless.

Out of 7 characters I only lost 1 name but I was expecting that because it wasn't original. My 6 other characters (including my main) have original names. Take some time to come up with original names and you'll never have to worry about your names being taken in SWTOR or in any other game. I even got to keep my Legacy name

I'm very happy with Prop5 so far. I was originally disappointed that I wouldn't be able to transfer to The Fatman but I am very pleased with how quickly the server filled up! It's like a completely new game. My old server, Davik's Estate, was completely dead.

My server, Davik's Estate, has been dead for months. I can't wait for Davik's Estate to get a free server transfer. I'm hoping we get to transfer to The Fatman!

This is exactly the problem with the current system. It's too linear and the relationships need to remain on a single line. I was hoping to have a Smuggler and Bounty Hunter rivalry separate from my Jedi Knight - Trooper siblings but I just discovered that this is impossible.

I wanted to voice my concerns as well. Ever since the latest patch it seems Doc heals a lot less. He lets my health get far too low or just lets me die. It certainly has made Voss much, much harder.

General suckiness? Really? Someone please close this thread. There are plenty of open threads that provide constructive criticism.

The sharding system needs to adjusted. The game feels completely dead with very few players running around. It feels too much like a single player game.

I also agree. The game feels too empty right now.

I was actually wondering about this as I formulated my post. I think you're right --- the real issue is not using the Soresu form. Using the Soresu form with Vigilance sounds feasible. I'm going to update my original post. Thanks for contributing!

To my fellow DPS Guardians, Please save yourself the frustration and do not spec in the Vigilance tree until you get the healing companion in Act 2 on the planet of Balmorra. Without a healing companion (not counting C2N2 for he is far too weak) it is extremely difficult to DPS without getting killed. After nearly ripping my hair out while questing on Tatooine, I decided to respec Defense and it definitely paid off. Questing was still a challenge but the difficulty was manageable and I was able to get through Act 1 with little to no issues. Just spec Defense from the start and only use Kira (the DPS companion). You will finish Act 1 with no issues if you follow some of the helpful guides people have posted on the forums. To save yourself frustration, follow these steps: 1. Spec in the Defense tree throughout all of Act 1 (although I highly recommend placing a few points in the Vigilance tree to get the Sunder Armor talent for the extra sundering). Use Soresu (Defense) form at all times. 2. Use the DPS companion Kira as soon as you get her and keep her gear up to date (as well as your own). 3. Use ALL of your interrupt skills when fighting bosses!! When the boss is casting, be sure to either Kick, Stasis, Hilt Strike, or Force Push. Keep rotating throughout the fight and you should be OK. 4. Stock up on Medpacks. Without a healer you will need some way to stay alive during a fight --- especially boss fights. Carry at least 6 medpacks within your level. 5. Use Saber Ward to avoid taking damage early in a fight. Use Warding Call when you get to around 50% health and pop a medpack to stay in the fight. 6. Use Call of the Force once you've used your medpack to ensure you do not die to a strong attack. 7. Taunt all enemies and bosses away from Kira! If your DPS companion dies you will almost definitely wipe. You can also use Guard on her to ensure her safety although I did this rarely. 8. Respec to Vigilance in Act 2 once you get towards the end of the Balmorra quest line and receive your healing companion. Once you receive your healing companion things get a lot more fun! Just hang in there and stick it out to Act 2. Spec Defense to make it less frustrating until you get to that point. UPDATE: Nugeneration posted a great recommendation: use Soresu form but spec in the Vigilance tree. I highly recommend you try this first before fully spec'ing Defense. You might find it more enjoyable.
