Your argument is akin to telling everyone they should stay home and not drive at night because a drunk driver might hit and kill them. Yeah, there are jerks in the game but for the most part, dps meters serve everyone a valuable purpose. The game shouldn't be designed because of the rare jerk. Now, if you happen to be bad at your toon, then I can see how you might view EVERYONE in the game as jerk out to get you.

If it's not needed and it probably won't help then how is this a step in the right direction?

So if a raid leader asks the newb in questing blues what his dps is and he says his is higher than everyone else, were supposed to just believe him right? Fail.

I love it when I finish a fight with Theran and he says "Hey Holiday! Did you see that?!" It's rich on so many levels.

Direct X 11 is a must for this game to stay viable

Actually, if you see my post on page 2, you will see that Steam says 31% of users have a DX11 capable system. -
Direct X 11 is a must for this game to stay viable
bchorn replied to Icysunx's topic in General Discussion
Here's some interesting stats from the Steam Hardware survey. 43% of all users have a DX10 capable system (i.e. OS is Vista or greater and DX10 card present) 31% of all users have a DX11 capable system (i.e. OS is Vista or greater and DX11 card present) 26% of all users have a DX9 capable system (i.e. OS is XP or video card is DX9). So adding DX11 support would benefit about a third of the user base and eliminating DX9 support would alienate a quarter of the user base. -
Starting Zones are heavily favoured toward sith.
bchorn replied to KiaThas's topic in General Discussion
I've leveled a Jedi Consular (my main), a Smuggler, and a Sith Inquistor through their respective starting worlds and Tython was by far the longest to level through. I think the Smuggler starting world is in line with Korriban. So instead of saying starting zones favor sith, I would say Jedi world takes much longer than anyone else. -
I've played several MMO's (Wow, LOTRO, AoC, Aion) and this is the first MMO that I will (eventually) level an alt from 1 to max level. I will definitely play until I reach 50 on my alt. However, I don't have much time available for end game so I'm not sure what I will do after that.

I’m amazed at the people who are scoffing at the notion that fully functional LFG tool can actually help people save time. I remember when I dinged 50 in Rift I was able to run dungeons with ease anytime I wanted to. That has not been the case in SWTOR. If it’s hard to get groups for lvl 50 flashpoints, people are going to stop playing the game. Its as simple as that. Yes, I’m sure there are some alpha dogs out there who will spend 15 minutes pinging random people in the fleet and spamming General to get people. But most people will prefer the simplicity of a LFG tool. Also, one advantage a real LFG tool has over all the methods described above (including the crappy LFG tag in the who tool), is that a real LFG tool could group people from different planets.

Announcing The Old Republic Guild Summit
bchorn replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
This why I think the lack of video conferencing makes this summit a bad idea. You are essentially asking people who play this game for fun (even if in a leadership role) to pay 1000’s of dollars for airfare, lodging, food, and time away from work/school. Why would anyone want to spend 1000’s of dollars to help a company improve a service they are paying a monthly fee for? If my cell phone provider told me I could attend a summit to give my thoughts on how they could improve their service I would say heck no…go figure it out yourself or I’ll take my money elsewhere. I really like the idea that Bioware wants to reach out to the community but they have to eliminate the cost factor by offering video conferencing. -
Announcing The Old Republic Guild Summit
bchorn replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
I think it’s imperative that Bioware add a virtual portion to the conference so that guild leaders do not have to travel to Austin for the event. They are going to get a lot more participation if people don’t have to fork over 1000’s of dollars in travel fees just to participate in a user feedback session. They don’t have to open it up to everyone on the internet. They can still limit the virtual participation to pre-selected guild leaders. Just allow the guild leaders to participate virtually via streaming and webcams.
