You're talking about skills that were implemented after 2 years mostly. before that, unless you were a rogue, you didn't really have control. All it takes is polish, so many skills and talents in WoW were removed or replaced during the course of 7 years and new ones implemented, in the beginning it wasn't smooth at all. I remember a Warrior doing... ehm... autoattack, HS and BT, maybe WW and that was all they had in order to dps. Compare that to the SW... it will get better, it'S a new game, you gotta give it time and you gotta remember that there are new players who are not used to very complex game settings and need to adapt first, same is true for raids, first tier is and will always be easy, gotta wait for 2nd tier of raids in order to see the real difficulty the designers have in mind.

You are not forced to do any of that crap, why can't people get that? Really good players (and I've said this once already in this thread) never cared nor will they ever care what you spec or whatever is as long as you can bring the required dps or whatever. Yeah, 90% of all people are idiots who just follow the one idiot that screams the loudest thus allowing stuff like this to happen, it's not the game, it's the community. Things like GS (or rather gearcheck) were tried to be forced into Rift when I still played it, same with the "item xy locked"... both didn't succeed because the idiots that wanted to do it were pushed away and told off by the community. Basically it comes down to the saying: Weapons don't kill people, people kill peope.. with weapons or without.... addons (dmg meters) don't destroy the community, idiots destroy it... with or without addons. But now let's take a look at you Mr. Community himself and your awesome arguments. You want to force every player to further have no option/possibility to tell in a log how his/her raidmembers are performing or if the rnd grp they find themselfs in actually has enough DPS to beat HK 47 or whatever or what it was that killed the tank because he doesn't know. You want to force everyone who does not view the world just like you to suffer because you don't want your game to be altered and forced into something, seemingly, but I'm already forced to accept people that don't do **** and are just dragged through content and that is completely fine with you? Nice double morals you get there, is that what community is about? "Let me do what I want where I want without having to think about anyone else"... that'S community to you? Nice buddy...

I didn't get what you wanted to say but... have you unlocked legacy already? I believe you had to finish chapter 1 in order to pick a legacy name that is shared by all your characters. For creating alts I'd wait until it's implemented before starting alts, nobody knows what it will contain, but I already have a feeling I'll be seriously pissed off wth my 3 lv 50s..

no, they won't rush things, no matther how much you cry about it. While the programming has it's flaws it's still playable, some things people post here all the time what they experience doesn't happen to 95% of the gamers or so.. like FPS issues, they whine about it, you give them a solution, they complain that bw should just make swtor run supersmooth with their 1gb ram on Windows Vista... awesome. Same for all people complaining about lag.. I played on one of highest pop. servers in germany and I've never experienced any lag.. might be your internetprovider? no, of course its Bw's fault... I am not saying BW did an outstanding job (it is solid for an mmo though) but people always run crying to the forums, ***** about some **** that's not even BW fault, but their badly configured systems, crappy internetconnection or just low skill @ playing (especially when talking about pvp). For the other things... playing 10 hours a day or something like that for two months... yeah, you end up a bit frustrated easier, try spending 10 hours a day closely with another person, see how you like them after 2 months...

I use 1-6 qertfgcvx + all that with shift and middle mouse button + extra mousebutton (only 1 currently, other ones broken and I'm to cheap to buy a new mouse). 1 - Assault 2 - Vicious Slash 3 - Force Charge 4 - Batterin Assault 5 - Smash 6 - obfuscate v - Retaliate r - Force Scream f- Annihilate t - Cloak of Pain g - Medpac c - Rupture x - Adrenal ^ - Predation all with shift Q - Disrupt (would normally have that on mousebutton but I got srsly used to it by now) 1 - force camo 2 - Unleash 3 - Saber Ward 4- Vicious Throw 5 - Intim. roar v - Frenzy c - Sweeping Slash t - Disable Droid r - Berserk f - Ravage g - Crippling Slash b - undying rage x - huttball throw...^^ for mouse middle - Bloodthirst shift-middle - Channel hatred MB 1 - Deadly Saber Shift-MB 1 - Force Choke wheel up - relic wheel down - relic 2 (of course only if I actually have on use relics). I didn't bind savage kick or ... eh.. yeah whatever that other thing was or any long term buff/speeder/20 min cd skill. Shift E is comp attack in case you wondered, Alt-E is comp passive. Besides that, I still use Q and E to move that's why I only use them with shift, tried to change it once but I just ended up randomly spaming the bound abilities when I wanted to move... some habbits you just can't get rid off but they are awesome keybinds if you're not that weirdly used to moving with them like me.

Personally I think (being male myself) that male characters just look incredibly dumb in most games, in swtor I find that to be true for every race except Zabraks that can look quite decent or Stih (but I don't like the race in general). I tried making a male but I just can't get a combinationb that doesn't look like a complete douche, Twilight character with all that weird hari choices you have or braindead muscle. Basically..if I fail to make a male character that resembles me (in any game, not just swtor) I just play a female because I always was able to create a virtual image of a woman I like the look of which is so much easier to me. I don't think I've ever succeeded creating a male character in any game except Mass Effect series and my Undead Rogue twink in WoW that I really liked the look of compared to what I could've done with the female creation options. Now, besides the looks SWTOR has tons of VA, so that was also a huge factor because I like to listen when my character says something and I need the voice to be one I like. Once again, I find female VA a lot better than male ones (Empire mostly, republic.. don't know, don't care, though Trooper of course is awesome being Femshep ) for any class, except maybe BH where males get a really cool voice... but it doesn't fit to the character I'd like to see. So I basically just really care how my character looks because in the end I plan to play it for a very long time (and yeah it can take me up to 1 hour creating a char) and males in this game just look incredibly dull compared to females, especially when adding voices (I really hate male SI for example).

the 1,5 mil speeders are just "cars" instead of speederbikes, you can buy lv 50 speederbikes with 110% speed on Voss and the fleet (maybe somewhere else, too), they cost about 80k or something. For the GTN.. if it gets you profit, fine, I never used it, to much timesink for to little outcome for me. The Slicing and TH missions are a waste of credits, trust me on this one or really look closely to what they net you over a long time compared to what you spend on them (same for your UWT things and the GTN). For the lv 50 dailies, try using a healing comp maybe? I really never was nowhere near dying while doing them and I pull like an imbecile with a squishy Marauder. Still, every daily quest gives you around 7k creds, on Belsavis the H4 "Lights Out" gets you 13k and requires you to die 1 or 2 times (or none at all if stealth class) + a rare lockbox (or comp weapons that are customizable which is pretty awesome) so.. just do those, that gives you 100k a day, shouldn't take you more than one hour. If you are really having trouble finishing the quests o to your class forum and ask for help or read the guides that are up there because it SHOULD be a breeze for a lv 50 player with any gear.

That was a serious question on my part.. why is he so popular? he didn't do anything awesome. Same with Fett (name freaks me out, too, speaking german "Fett" literally translates to "fat") or really any other character besides Vader.. none of them were really interesting. Now I'm surely not a big SW fan to begin with but all the characters that appeared were pretty simple and kinda boring.

Aim and Cunning do nothing for you, so you can stick to str, end, presence.. you should note however that willpower increases force crit etc which does a little bit for a few of your abilities.

Did you think the Death Star wasn't build to compensate for something?

looks like it, no data to back it up but it appears that tauren ninja stealth is not as good as other stealthers, they get detected way more easily since patch 1.1456792b. Also, their horns seem to be shorter.

Wasn't the only thing Maul ever did... ehm... puh... well... he was red!... and.. had a doublebladed LS... aaaand... yeah... so, why is he actually that popular?

You can join mine.. if you're speaking german and play on Force Harvester GER server... jk... how are people supposed to help you if they don't even know where you're playing? Also, a guild is not a bunch of guys always willing to help you.. except this guys maybe. go and play with Almar http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=305699

You can improve... well, you can guess you've improved but you never have the data to back it up. You can't do math without numbers, feeling * (stylefactor * biggest numbers comes first)= dps is not that awesome to work with.

- Don't die so freakishly often that you spend what seems to be like 500k a day for repairs (srsly though, how much to do you spend a day, I only have to repair like twice a week because of raids [yeah I don't die that often there either]). - whatever are you doing with the GTN? I find no fast and easy way to make profit there. - Slicing... explain that to me? Running the missions? waste of time, even if you get something out of it the missions take 30 mins or so each and return minimal outcome when you look at the cost, sometimes you just lose creds. Slicing onl works when you drive around and gather stuff, corellia is pretty good for this if you want to do it, I only ever did it while leveling and then just kept it for the stuff I find while doing dailies. - Treasure Hunting is useless. It gives you nothing to make creds, items/gifts are useless or rather.. they don't return you the cost of the mission in the first place, so you just lose creds. Like i said... just do the belsavis and Ilum dailies and don't waste money. Sometimes I think the only reason I got so many creds without ever working for it is because I don't spend it like an idiot for some purple pixels on the GTN or whatever and don't waste my creds @ crafting and RE blue stuff to get useless purples I won't ever need. I would probably have around 15 millions now if I didn't decide to roll two other 50s... but even they got me around 1,5 million creds just with leveling them.

the most important thing when doing a H4 (and to a lesser extent a H2 of course) is crowd control and interrupts. You can do any H4 quest without healer and/or tank with just 4 dps or even 3 dps and a healing comp if you CC right, interrupt spells, move out of stuff and play smart. You can and will get your *** kicked by trash and whatnot if people in your grp just don't cc ooc or in combat with stuns etc or break cc early or don't focus dmg.

How can you have problems with creds in this game? Every of the three chars I leveled to 50 ended up with at least 1 million creds before i got speeder training 3, the bike and all the skills. Just spending 1 hour on the belsavis/ilum dailies easily gets you about 100k creds. I'm currently sitting at 7 million creds or so on my account and I've done nothing expect manual gathering with slicing post nerf + dailies to get my main raidready. you gotta be doing something srsly wrong.

Right, because there are so many options for a PVE spec.... not. Nobody was ever forced into anything, that's all just stupid nonsense told by people over and over again who never srsly were competing for at least the world top 100 in WoW because you had idiot raidleaders and idiot players who cared about Gearscore or some fotm lolspec, no real "pro" raider cared for any of this ****. Just because millions of idiots followed the first idiot to come up with "lulz let's put numbaz on gearz so I knowz who suckz" doesn't make it right. People nowadays srsly lack the skill to use their own damn brain to figure something out and relay too much on stupid kids screaming the loudest to form an opinion or in this case, a spec or gear setup. Ridiculous wannabepros...

Or you're actually able to handle a little more complex rotation and you're able to time your cooldowns right, why do you want to dump it down? And I don't get your hotkey problem either, 1-5 qertfgcv are all very easy to hit, same if you bind them all with shift for another skill and then you also have your mousebuttons, that's more than enough to pull it off easily with a little practise that actually comes while leveling.

My main is a Marauder and I simply don't see it. Every ability I have has a use, some less frequent than others of course (due to cooldown or being of a defensive nature that you want to use at the right time instead of keeping it on cooldown) but they all serve a purpose. I currently also have just 1 extrabutton on my mouse because the other ones broken and I still manage to keybind everything easily including medpac + adrenal. I don't want to have any ability removed so I can spam the standart lv 1 stike + a ragedumper for 10 seconds before I can do something else, that's just freakin boring. Of course there will always be abilities that you have no use for for some classes, like my Sniper won't use Overload Shot and Corrosive Dart being Marksman spec, so simply put them somewhere on the right or left bar and don't bother or throw them out completely. There are many different abilities that you can use when facing different situations and I don't want the game to be dumped down because some people are just too lazy or simply too bad to get it right, I srsly don't want my warrior to become a classic WoW Warrior with 3 buttons to spam so everyone can just faceroll like an idiot and still think he actually did something good, it' lame and boring.

no, there is not.

They are just more quests on the same planet and they do not give you the same items as the H2 or H4 quests. Just a few addiotional quests with an added story to a planet, nothing more. I've done every one of them, I don't know how I could've reached 50 without them just by questing.

well, they could remove the two skills every class seems to have that requires a weak - strong target to be stunned, snared or whatever. It doesn't work in endgame PVE most of the time (at least not when it matters) and doesn't work in PVP. Completely useless, don't even have them on the bar anymore. As for other skills... I like it, many skills to build into a rotation or priority list is fun, I really don't want to end up like a classic mage spaming 1 button and sometimes hit 1 or 2 others. It's neither challenging nor does it give me any feeling of acomplishment when I can pull it off... because a 3 year old could do it. So, rather than minimize the available skills I'd like to see improvmenets to the UI in order to have an easier time seeing when what is ready or how long dots are up, especially on bosses dots become very problematic to track, but UI improvements are long overdue... and they should srsly just let addons handle that stuff so everyone can set it up exactly the way they want.. and if you're hapy with what you got, don't get an addon, simple.

as a LS Sih it's a huge balancing act if nothing else. You try the change the empire from within while still having to represent the empires interests in order to save the empire from being overwhelmed, thus getting you/many other killed eventually and also eventually let the Sith rise again, same as they were before with no peace in sight unless one side completely kills off the other one. So you basically end up, more often than not, doing the wrong (bad) things, but for the right reasons. Compared to a Jedi... you act more on compassion than justice without emotional connection, in the end many things they do (or rather, they DON'T do) may be considered evil from a LS Sith perspective.

The ending with my imperial agent
