This guy hit it on the head, which is why I've already canceled mine. It's good until middle of March, but I already find it more enjoyable to log out and do something else, so I can't imagine anything they add in 1.2 will make me say 'Wow, this is amazing and worth my money.' I'd suggest the same to the OP.

How does it feel to lose 600 to 0 in Alderaan?

When can we expect Same Gender Romance Arcs (Options) (SGRAs) to be implemented? And when they are implemented, in what form? Will [Flirt] options be available for random NPCs as we quest, similar to how the game currently treats hetero-options, or will it only be an SGRA for our companion(s)? Will currently companions be made SGRA-able or is the intent to only make future, new companions an option for SGRAs? What is currently being done at BW-Austin in preparation for SGRA implementation?

I said it after my first weekend in beta. I said it after my second and third weekend in beta. And now, after release, it's only been re-affirmed. BioWare wanted to make a Single Player game. Somewhere in development, early on, they were told to turn it into an MMO. What they ended up with was an MMO with a forced multiplayer option tacked on. They really SHOULD have stuck with KotOR 3-6 (saying KotOR 3-11 is a joke, given all the shared content between classes). Single player games is what BioWare does well.

This is 110% true. I am still here for two reasons: A.) I got a 60 Day Time Card for Christmas that doesn't end until March 19th and B.) I still like glowbats. However, once A.) comes to an end, B.) will be insufficient to keep me here. As a story, SW:TOR is okay (not good, but okay). As a game, an MMO in particular? Rubbish. I DID expect more after 6 years in development.

I think this is your real option. Honestly, it's stupid. They should do a temporary server xfer to AUS servers for anyone who wants it, US/EU included. Put a big disclaimer letting them know ping will be garbage and they can't transfer back. But if you've been playing with this group for a while, their time works for you, telling you to "reroll," losing your characters, items, datacrons, legacy, etc., is a half-baked solution.

Looks like outsourced "help" to me. You probably got some guy in India who doesn't know anything about the game besides writing up a bug ticket.

Our first couple attempts people were trying to DPS him. After the aggro dumps, I told them to stop except when he was vulnerable, and they did, but the aggro dump continued to happen. I've tried taunting before and after a mind trap and still would have Soa dropping aggro and running to someone else before I could position him for a pillar drop. This is annoying as hell. I'd honestly rather the occasional reset because the tank is mind trapped over this, but the fact they can't just make it so he doesn't mind trap his top aggro is mind boggling.

Fixed it for you.

Welcome to Star Wars: Battle of the Bugs, where you don't beat bosses, you beat bugs. I'd rather overtuned content which is ridiculously hard than banging my head up against a wall to all the bugs present. BioWare really needs to hire a team to test this stuff, because I would call ******** on anyone saying they do currently test their content.

I agree that current characters should have same-gender romance options enabled. It actually blows my mind that they didn't program it in such a way as to make it easy (use a %gender instead of fixed male/female in terms of descriptive terms and just sub in the correct value pending character gender). I do agree that it would be nice to have an option to enable/disable romance (not just SGRA; all or none, get over it). While an option at character select is a great option, you'd have some situations such as the parents in Page 1 where they would like to turn off romance options for their children, and so some kind of social or parental toggle would likely provide an all-encompassing solution, especially if characters have already been created. This is a big issue for me. On top of the clunky and lacking gameplay at most times, lack of SGRA is preventing me from playing an alt. I already had my alt planned as a female Sage, so lack of SGRA means I miss out on part of the game that I would like to experience (not interest in the male options, sorry). If by March 19th (when my 60 day Time Card ends) BioWare hasn't at least provided details regarding SGRA and when they plan to introduce it and in what form, it will be time for me to move on. End-game is lacking, whole-heartedly, so without an alt I can't see any reason to continue playing (even now, but I am going to give them some time first to remedy the situation).

Disappointing.

I said it after their first "fix" and I'll say it again; go back to the original style. It was fine. You've only broken it twice, both times making it worse.

I lol'd. QFT.

I think it is bugged. At least at level 50, I do not get credit for this when I enter the room. Quite frustrating. Additionally, I cannot get credit for any Lore Objects I try to use in the world once I hit level 50.
