oh god no no no why ruin a good game like wow did. Since we have a good community, in its infancy, already not sure why you think it will not happen.

well considering there really is no imbalance in pvp except the skill of players and their teams I do not think there is a way fro them to fix it. Mostly from what I have seen is that people from games like wow expect pvp classes to be neutral balanced which is not the case here or in a pvp centric game (yes I know this is a pve centric game). I am rather glad, and find it more challanging, that i have to know now only my class strengths and weakness but all of the classes while at the same time understanding the tactics require to win a wz and operate as a team.

rather see them get rid of mounts in the fleet myself

you just need to file a ticket with cs from ingame and they can check your account to make sure you are showing as A DDE and get your items to ya. You yiouself can look at your account opage to make sure it shows as a DDE if it does not then just call CS and they can fix it on their end. there use to be a sticky about the missing items so you could also do a search and see what they tells you

ok there is a stature in there you have to get onto one of the pedestals that come out of it and have someone pull by standing on the very edge of the ledge

or if you have force charge get someone small enough to get through then charge them.

well haveign been ehre for beta and having played other MMO's i woudl say this game was in a playable state on December 13 when early access started.

well lets see unlike wow you can dual anywhere in this game in wow you had to find a spot without guards not so here which is why you see people dualing alot up on the fleet. WoW did not even how any bg when it launched and when they first added them they only had 3. unlike wow they already have more wz in the works. Unlike wow we have open areas where mass teams of a faction can fight one another. . Here we have mutiple titles which people can proudly display to show what lvl they have gained. The First 3 BG were about the same size as what we have now. WoW did not have areas like Ilum to pvp in and still does not. Why is SWTOR pvp better than wow? BW did not create a forced neutral balance of classes. Thus the pvp is more challanging and requires better tactics and skill. not sure where you think rewards are token from FP there gear it good and usefull and can grow with you if you like the look of a set. a Very novel approach i applaud Since you seem to think that bosses do not drop loot in FP i can only assume you have never done a FP (since FP here = dungeons in wow). LFG here could use some refinement but it is not hard to use at all. you just type in LFG in the search menue and you get everyone there is on your server lfg no matter where they are. Unlike in wow here you have the oportunity to then decide who to group with or to convince someone that was lfg but not the FP you wanted to join with you. WoW Dungeon finder only added rewards to try to correct a player imbalance which has not reared its ugly head here yet SWTOR server have far larger comunity of players on them than wow does on its. Does wow have an overall larger population yes it does although it has been shrinking at an alarming rate the past year. Add into that the fact that over half of WoW's number come from China where SWTOR is not avaiable it would be hard for SWTOR to match wow numbers. Hell SWTOR is not even offered in Aussie land or for that mater most of Europe yet it managed to break all of WoW initial sale and sub records. Since this game launched the week of Christmas I think it would have been odd to have a festival for it let alone would they celebrate it in a galaxy far far away We have fleet pass and quick travel here along with taxis you can get from one end of this galaxy to the other end alot faster than you could travel from one end of the planet wow is on to the other. There are "flying mounts" here in this game they just do not fly over mnts and such. We have LS/DS with rewards which is similuar to the rep rewards in wow with more being added. Unlike wow we have social rewards to reward grouping not just inside dungeosn but anywhere I could go on and on but I am not sure how the OP posts here as he has clearly not played this game.

has the op thought about waiting to use the IGN if his companiosn are about to complete missions or not going into a WZ. Remember your companions are only as smart as you are.

actually they have never ever said dual specing is comming. When in a QA with regards to pvp they were asked if they were going to have dual specing and said they are looking at all options with regards to making pvp fun.

i am a healer and i play a healer guess what I do not respect twice a day. I heal when i do my dailies and quests I heal in pvp i heal in FP and in groups. Works out quite well. the prices are set they way there are because you are not suppose to be switching back and forth. part fo the reason why we have so many companions with different classes is so you can adjust to the situation before you when out soloing and not have to to respec.

call cs i am sure they can sort it out

wow is totally instance every dungeon and raid is instance

there are no plans for addons they have a new UI in the works that you can customize they showed a glimpse of it in the video on things comming to the game.

actually the UK is a special place because the sun never sets on the Empire

that would mean it would be starting anywhere from 11am to about 1 pm for most of the Euro players

test server is usually up when maintenance is goin gon

actually if you look back you will see that the did adjust the weekly time a bit

yes which would mean that when they pushed the patch to the EU servers none of the NA would be able to connect until the patch was pushed to them since it is all the same login server system. Also wow does have a weekly downtime.

It is becasue both the Eu and NA server use the same login system

actually it is not the easiet thing to fix. As has been stated over and over again the entire player base uses on login system. Thus all the servers have to be brought down at the same time since the login server has to be brought down as well. So BW tries to pick a time the should effect the least amount of players. 3 am est seems pretty reasonably a non peak time when you consider that is anywhere from 5 am to 7 am for most of the Euro players.

Guessing you are in Alaska? The down times are designed to effect the least amount of people. If they shifted it even an hour latter it would adversely effect the Euro players to a far greater degree than it does now. Plus how are you lsoign 2 days of play time a week when the maintenance is 4 hours.

blizz only did it when there was excessive server unavailability not for normal maintenance. As of yes we have not had this issue except for a coupel of server being down. I am sure if people on those servers contacted BW they would have if BW did not automatically do so received some sort of a credit. I do understand that some peoples play time does not jive with their peak times that BW looks at when they set up down time. However, I do not see that as beign a biases for compensation .

seems most of your issues are rather minor ones. not game breaking ones atleast not for me. Now sure why your rig chuggs if you built it just for this game. There are plenty of people playing on older systems who do not have issues.

seesm the complaints are more around I could not kill a healer so the game is broken. I play a healer ( lvl 46 inquis) i top the charts in healing in the WZ she goes into and I do die. Why becasue eventually the other team sees that I am the healer and they gang up and take me down even with all my 5 heals i have i can be killed just takes teamwork. What is actually great about the pvp here is they did not try to artificially balance everyone to a neutral state. Yes some classes have trouble fighting other classes but the whole point is team work and knowing your strengths and weakness as well as those opposing you. I know i have crap DPS as a pure heal spec so i do not go around trying to kill anyone. I try to stay out of melee range whenever possible. If a stealther gets near me i stun or cc and move off. What i do do is heal for all I am worth. I save whirlwind for when I think people have blown their cc break. I save my cc break for when i really need it. I will sit in cc and watch the fight and wait for it to run its course if no one needs emergancy healing. I think most of the issues with pvp is that alot of players are comming from a game like WoW which tried to take a casual approach to pvp and balance all the classes to a netural setting. Thus they are just not use to everyone not being equal in everyway.
