So I'm sittin here, goofing off on wow while the patch patches. Suddenly I hear "BZZBBEEEPPPZZPPP!" (that sound the launcher makes when it's ready). I had WoW muted, and didn't realize my sound was up from listening to music. Maybe poo'd a little... not sure... either way... YAY! I'M DONE PATCHING!

Again... if you are spawning in your med center and someone has gathered a group and is camping it... then that sucks, but that's PVP. You can play multiple characters. To say "quite literally be unable to play" is wrong. Rather it's "unable to play in the way I want".

GW2? Which is that?

If you are on a PVP server then it's ok to do that. My roommate got that response from a ticket he opened. I'm not sure about PvE though. Really sorry to see that happen. Toss yourself on the other side of that token... imagine it, everyone working together to squash the other side. On one hand it's annoying, on the other it's a blast. Take your pick. You also may want to wait more than 2 minutes before bumping your own thread

Your statistics are the same... and you're just a troll... so what's that say?

Because it's not always as simple as that. Especially with MMO's. When you play an MMO you have a certain feeling of, for lack of a better word, pride. You have pride that you're part of it, and because of that you want it to succeed. You feel like your 14.99 is the biggest contribution per month, and that they need to listen and work with the community. So when an MMO goes sour for you... you post on the forums. You get a feel to see if you are the only one. Sometimes you will find out, yes, you are alone. Other times you're not. Rarer yet you will get some amazing suggestions that will rekindle that spark you've been craving. That little push to make something epic once more. So yeah... that's why it has to be asked. OMG Totally separate note, TL:DR totally fits here lol.

The forums tend to be an interesting thing for support. On one hand you want to answer as many questions as you can. On the other you want people to read faqs and the sort so you are answering unique questions. I do feel like this customer support forum is a little lacking that others. Though Rift's is nearly as dead, I think really only World of Warcraft has a better response... but I wonder if it's a better response, or just that there's so many people posting.

So instead lower levels just joining the game should get completely owned and steamrolled by 50's "trying to get even with other 50's"? Right..........

Heh just figured out what TL DR meant... *facepalm* So yeah, this is a really new MMO (obviously), and because of that the "yay I hit 50 now what?" is a bit weak. http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=28733 If that has any truth to it then yes you are about to get some content at 50. Right now so far here's what I've found to do: 1. Do the ilium dailies 2. Get my reputation with my companions maxed 3. Get my crafting maxed and my epic schematics done 4. Help my guild members with those hard to solo quests 5. Go back and finish quests I missed to get titles and fun stuff, and bonus missions 6. PVP at 50 and start to get my gear sets 7. Visit in general chat, meet new people, make friends, form groups, run Flashpoints 8. Drop my crafting profession for another now that I've gotten bored with it 9. Find all the holocroms 10. Start exploring other talent specs of my class I HATE my list, mostly because a lot of is is very grindy. I know my expectations are so high that no one can reach them, and I'm very much the... "It's all about me, give it to me now, I want it before I thought of it to keep my entertained" sort of person. Even so, I've managed to find a few ways to enjoy the game at 50. Yes, 8 separate story lines. Very cool. Not everyone enjoys that, I don't. I only ran 4 of them and said "I'm done" with the leveling. I hope you find something to enjoy, the last thing I can recommend is this: Cancel the account, find another game, come back in 3 months. I'm not trying to come off as a jerk by saying that. In Rift, I started with open early release. It was fun, I got to 50 there and went "zomg I'm so bored!!!" quit, came back 4 months later played for a few weeks had a blast, quit came back a few months after that... another blast... quit... etc...etc...etc... Good luck! May the schwartz be with yooouuuuuuuuuuu

Why is it that all the "I hate this game" threads are closed... but any thread with the slightest "I kinda, maybe, sorta, support, like this game" are left open... with pages of trolling and anger to follow?

Try again... you can come up with a more witty response than that. Responses to trolls must make us laugh and giggle. Yours did not. DO EIT!

The only thing that could have made this better is if you were McFly.

It's getting added in the next patch yay! ...........

So either A) you never really played SWG... or B) You completely missed the point of SWG. SWG wasn't like other MMO's. It didn't really have end game content, it really didn't have group content. (If you say killing a krayt dragon was end game, or going into the Mandalorian fortress was group content... then I suppose you're kinda right? But my commando solo'ed both XD) That game was more a platform for insane theory crafter's, and big RP'ers. It did not have a lot of features that other MMO's had because it did not have a lot of the content other MMO's had. You should really strain your mind and try not to over glorify that game. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but it was short lived. The CU update and changes happened rather quick. I hate to say it, but that also sort of contributed to the greatness of the game. Have you tried playing on SWGEMU? It's the emulator that is recreating the game in the way it was before the CU. A lot of folks are realizing that it wasn't really as great as they remembered. The greatness was in their memory. Of course the game is competing... it's the first month. Warhammer Online competed in its first month. Wait a few months lets see what happens. I think SWTOR will surprise us. I do think Dev's listen, they may not respond, but they do listen. EA has always been about the money, when fans complain they really could care less so long as they pay. Once they stop paying though that's another story. So we will see what happens. I have a feeling SWTOR will do fine though.

Can't speak for the Republic buuut for the Imperial Sith Warrior - Strength Sith Inquisitor - Willpower Bounty Hunter - Aim Imperial Agent - Cunning I imagine it's the exact same if you go to the other side.

Rift is a pretty fun game. I felt the first level through was a blast. I couldn't bring myself to level another character though. I also felt that once you hit 50 the content sort of dropped. Then again I'm not a raider sooooo :/ but I felt it was worth a month.

You missed the point... by at least 4 parsecs. Please read a post before you decide to troll it. The point I was making is that there are many games out there that rely heavily on community involvement. Those games all seem to do really well through that involvement. Sadly a few of those games listed are dying out due to a lack of interest in general. A lot of the ones not doing so well decided to wait till much later though before they let their community join. The map was just a tool, an example of how game companies say "hey you the player, get involved. Do something creative." According to MMORPG.com Neverwinter Nights is considered an MMO. Not sure I agree with them... buuut it does have a map editor.

Remember RealID? When it first happened in WoW? They were going to put your real name on the forums? Enough people cancelled their accounts with that specific complaint that they posted on their forums "our bad, we aren't shaking hands with facebook anymore. Please come back" and then everyone did. So yeah... it does send a clear message.

*hands you some cookies and a blanket* Must be really cold and damp under that bridge. World of Warcraft Rift Everquest 1 Everquest 2 FFX1 Mine Craft Terraria Runes of Magic Warhammer Online Age of Conan and a few others I can't think off the top of my head.

Yeah, I'm not saying that it has to be epic and amazing on the first try. I just think that a bit of leash slacking would be nice. People are amazingly creative, and if given a small chance will create wondrous things. Not to mention they will do it for free, and a good 60% of the tool makers go through the sort of extensive bug testing on their tools that would put EA's QA to shame.

The best games in the world have succeeded because of one thing. The community. Blizzard learned this very early on by creating something called "The Map Editor" in it's star hit games known as Starcraft and Warcraft. This editor was so powerful that it spawned some of the most amazing player made campaigns and maps. The maps were so intricate, so in depth, that not only did Blizzard sore in profits from them, but in the end they spawned a completely brand new genre of gaming. (I speak of Defense of the Ancients, which in turn League of Legends and many others were born.) Many games with addons/mod support seem to end up in one bucket or another. One, the mods get too powerful and the game developers end up getting stuck frantically trying to figure out how to slow it down. Or the exact opposite, the game developers use the players (like little slaves honestly) to create what eventually becomes a part of the default UI. I know everyone hates to hear it... but lets look at World of Warcraft. There used to be a mod called CT Mod, and another called Quest Helper (yes they are still around). After many years though you really don't need either of those mods anymore. Blizzard has taken them and painstakingly crafted them with their pretty graphics and bug free environment to make it a part of the game. Mods and customization to the UI is a fantastic way for game developers to keep a finger on the pulse of the community. With clients like Curse they can get heavy statistics on what players want. What they are doing, what they download, and what they don't want. They can do it easily, and without huge effort. Right now the UI suffers from some, in my opinion, game breaking problems. PvP creates a fun little map on the top right, which of course covers the first few buttons. The mini map covers the very bottom button ever so slightly. Certain windows appear and then are unable to be closed, etc, etc, etc. These are all things that us, the players can fix. Not only can we fix it, but we can do it well. We can do it in such a way that it is seamless to the game itself. The most powerful tool a software company has after its game is created is the community itself. Not to mention this is Star Wars we are talking about. The most die hard group of fan boys and girls... the group that is willing to stand out in front of a movie theater to see a movie long past its prime dressed in the most provocative Princess Leah outfits, whether it be rain, sleet, or snow. (And for that all you happy fan girls... we thank you). What I'm trying to say is this, we are complaining that there are problems in the UI. Problems with mods. Statistics we want to know that we can't see... all this we can fix. If we were just given the chance.

Works fine for me.

So last game we had 5 people with 0/0/0 all from the same guild. Wont put names because I think that gets the thread removed. It's the second time in a week I've seen them all do this. Has anyone noticed if reporting players does anything? Have the dev's said anything about how to fix this problem with AFK folks? Getting annoying, yes I'm QQing but... meh... dunno where else to vent. Anyone have a light at the end of this tunnel? Or should we just join them and AFK grind while you're still allowed to and say *** it.

Screen shot or it never happened... ---- OP WoW said that one was ok in the end so long as it did not create delays. In WoW you can build a macro called castsequence that allows you to do exactly what you said. Their stance is that if you can do it in game, then any 3rd party tool is allowed to do it as well. The bottom line is that if it's not in game already then you are probably not ok to use it. So I think you are probably not safe using the program auto hot key right now :/ If you are looking for an official response you may want to contact customer support over the phone or via e-mail. Good luck with that though

Screenshot or it didn't happen.
