I hear you OP, but in the spirit of community discussion, with a post like this you can expect to receive some counter-points. There is an inherent flaw in your decision to come back to SWTOR. First you state that you left because you hit max level, and given the lack of end-game and pvp, you were frustrated. This implies that the idea of leveling new characters wasn't appealling, but rather, you wanted end-game. Then you went to wow, which is known for quality end-game, but left because you didn't like the leveling. Now you're back to swtor, but you don't like the end-game and have implied that you don't want to level new characters. So I ask you, why? Honestly, the leveing in wow is surely boring to say the least. But that's the price of admission for their high-quality end-game. If you stick it out you would get what you want. After 4 years of WOW, I have been the biggest fanboi of swtor since its release. Now, given the raging community, the complete ease of acquiring gear, the heavily instanced corridor-style world, the seemingly low population and lack of LFG tools, I miss wow. Yesterday I cancelled my swtor sub, and unless there is a meaningful patch before my time runs out in 20 days, I'm going back to wow as I wait for the next big thing. Good luck to you OP, I hope you find what you're looking for.

Wait a minute doc, you're telling me you built a time machine out of a delorean?

The fact that people didn't know KS generates threat really surprises me. Healing generates threat. KS is a heal. As for whether it's working as intended, I'd have to argue that it is, primarily due to the pro tip that I will provide you below, free of charge. Pro Tip: CHAFF FLARE

Total fail. There is no heat dissipation at 0. Less bad, please

For the love of god, Bioware, please read this post and do something about the rapid shot noise.

I didn't see it either. So, how were we nerfed? Gotta be the surge rating thing that they're talking about, but if that's the case, aren't other classes also receiving the same nerf?

This is effing genius. I LOVE this idea.

Agree 100% with this post. Well articulated and SO true.

Bump. IRL I could eat a lot and get fat, or exercise and lose weight. I'd like to change my body type.

For the love of god, you're right, I'm a nooblet. I forgot that had I not chosen to take down the chancellor I could have killed Tormen. But dude, the chancellor tried to kill me, I had to kill him. So okay, I'll modify: I wanted to take down the chancellor AND kill Tormen. I might roll another BH just to kill Tormen.

I made a hottie - body type 2. I wish they had the option of not showing the gear (as they do with the helm)...the gear kinda ruins it. That said, the modded Sith Warrior gear looks pretty sweet -- you win

It really blows my mind that the class quest didn't end by giving the option of killing Darth Tormen. I wanted it SO badly.

Agreed, sprint should persist through death. But wait, is there any place or any time when sprint can't be used? Would it be fair to say that pretty much everyone would want sprint up 100% of the time while playing the game? So why have sprint at all? Why not just increase the base running speed so we don't have to click a stupid button everytime we login or rez. It's retarded imo, unless of course there is a time or place where sprint can't be used, in which case, please educate me.

Agreed.

Nice wall of text, Lars. Admittedly I had neither the time nor the interest to examine the entire wall, but hopefully BW is paying someone to care enough about what you have to say. Someone would need to be paid a lot to endure that, but BW has a decent budget. The one point I was able to extract from your wall of text is that the time of day that BW decides to patch bothers you. Rest assured, Lars, BW knows exactly what time of day and what day of week will impact the smallest number of players. Rest assured that they patch on the day and at the time of day that affects the least number of players. Indeed, the time during which they choose to patch is hardly unique to swtor. Please re-read the prior two sentences to ensure you understand. My advice, Lars, move to a different time zone or convince enough people to play in your timezone.

Love the game. The crafting aspect of this game was over-promised and WAY under-delivered, imo.

I prefer to play at max camera distance so I can see the entire area. Anything less is just fail mode, imo. And yes, my preferences are set to allow MAX camera distance. As you would expect, the camera distance auto-adjusts when running through doorways or going into small rooms, but for some reason it does not properly revert back to max camera distance when possible. Even worse, frequently my camera distance will automatically zoom-in for no apparent reason. Very frequently. The issue is so bad that my zoom-out hotkey needs to be part of my standard rotation in boss fights. Bad. So are other people having this same issue? Am I missing a setting or something? I love the game, I will keep playing, but it would be really nice to see this fixed. Another separate but related issue is that the max zoom-out distance is inconsistent; sometimes the camera just won't zoom-out as far as it will at other times, even in the open world.

Wait, so who damaged whom first? Who drew first blood? Read. Understood. If you don't want to get flagged, don't attack (damage) other players. Nice try. Fail.

I would really like to know who the lvl 50 is so I can congratulate him on a job well done. Pro! I love stories like this, just so damn pro. For the OP...take it like a man (or woman). You drew first blood. If you don't want to get flagged, don't attack members of the opposite faction.

If being rude = kicking you from the group because we can't progress due to your under par dps/healing, then sure, combat logs and meters will result in people being rude. For me, I have 2-3 hours of playtime per day if I sacrifice some sleep, and I'd really rather not waste that time. Give me meters and combat logs so I can progress with people at my level.

"The reason why some servers have a declining population is people like you. I really hope you know that Bioware is increasing the ??????..... " I did my best to fix that for you, but honestly, are you having a stroke or something? See a doctor bro, or an English teacher.

I rolled Crucible Pits too, it's not that bad. Sure the population has declined as people get to max level and play less, but the same can be said for all servers except the chosen few. I'm a healer, tonight I spammed General for like 30 minutes LFG Red Reaper, nothing. I don't think the problem is server pop. I think the problem could be solved if there was a /2 Trade channel that could be accessed from anywhere on the server. It would make it easier to get a group. Honestly it would be nice to LFG Flashpoint while questing, but that would require a shorter CD on the fleet pass, or some other way to quickly get to where you need to be when you get a group. My $.02

Love the game. 2V-R8 is extremely annoying. Please resolve. Xcore -- if you read this, I need you to aggro this topic and post some videos that get the devs' attention.

Implement a spec wherein your character is a giant chicken with horns: 5.0 Great post. Agree with the results. Bump.

The game is great. It is amazing to me that people actually think that the population of people who post on the forums is representative of the overall player base. And with that, Torian is being held hostage and I need to go save him. Rage on.
