The game release with Illum as a open world warzone thingy. It failed. They attempted to fix it. It still sux. They attempted a second try to fix the problems. It disn't work they abandoned the concept after that and that was IIRC less than 6 months after release

Just don't give me a lockout when I Leave that worthless format named Arena.

Well Tux Im going to disagree with you on that response, One of the few times I have, I think there are alot more LS sith than one realizes theres now way the PUB's can keep that light side meter full nearly 24/7

NO I wouldn't

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Yes WZ's in ToR remind me of Vanilla WoW before cross server, Primetime 6PMish CST to 11PMish CST pop pop pop pop then might as well go to bed

The one I like is from Vette, When approaching the Hose Rift compound on Alderean, "And no I'm not going to count the steps"

I used to level character strictly through PvP I have three that don't even have their ship. When arena came out I stopped doing level cap PvP. One, I hate that format especially. Two, in ToR as it has always been FOTM spec wins. Doesn't matter which class that is. Until 8v8 comes back as a ranked I won't be doing any level capped PvP. And if I draw an arena during leveling I leave before match starts thats how much I hate the arena format

This just about covers my feelings as weel

Players been asking this question for more than 2 years. Don't see it happening and until it does no ranked FOTM vs FOTM WZ for me

Group content inherently is gated content, locking items and features behind a raid or dungeon is a BS design. Everyone who pays a sub or is a player should have the ability to get anything they want playing the way they want, if not the game has gated content, bad design decision imho

Ya Tux these changes remind me playing the tank class in Tera when that game released, pretty much you couldn't die to normal mobs while leveling but you took 5 minutes to kill something your level, no one wanted to be a lancer

Well if Disney or JJ has a say so it will sux just like the Ryan Johnson movie, that is all.

The original post by BWA said those two companions would be "UNIQUE" take that anyway u want but unique to me means I am getting something not everyone will get

Well the wording in the original release of the two companions was "UNIQUE" Now you can take that anyway you want but they are no longer after April 3rd or 5th or whenever "UNIQUE"

Have to admit BW, "That's pretty F------ Up" So when do I get my second Nico and second Mother of Mandolarians everywhere?

Likewise, I bought 100 US dollars worth packs when the Senya light sabers where the new packs. I expected to get 1 maybe two of them. I got zero lightsabers, haven't purchase any packs on the CM since that day, yeah I got the appearance stuff cause i could buy what I wanted and few armors I could get solo, most of my CM stuff since has come from the Market, Still a few armors I want, don't decorate, don't use 3000 mounts don't use 400 crystals just give me armors and I'm a happy camper

One of the biggest reasons they changed it to what it is and I dont really like it either, was to stop the hybrid stuff and their claim was it would be much easier to balance the classes, nothing like someone else said "rose Clored Glasses" There was a time when one could switch stances and not loose all your mana or force and the assassin build 18 in tank the rest in madness was the chief beneficiary and you would engage switch to DPS stance then guard a node and switch to tank or switch back and forth during the fight. There was even a time when Marauders could heal the people in their group with that Dot heal thing. And seeing a marauder as third best healer wasn't rare in a WZ. But Devs tend to nerf bat everything for the greater good they say, instead of incremental changes, and thats not just BW its almost every dev team that makes and maintains games. Heck they used to put the changes on the PTS before a big patch, one of those token things, for a title, you get when you create a new toon was for playing a pretest of a patch on PTS I agree with most everything the posters have said fromn the get kicked if you didnt have the cookie cutter build when we had skill trees to the current system being boring as F- - -

So I can finally get my Senya Light sabers you are telling me, if not then just MEH

sorry I didnt see anything in the cartel market that just jumped oput and slapped me in the face. The new Lightsaber is cool looking as well as the new sith armor but meh aint buying either

Honestly what do you people expect: let us review Pre release and during the time they advertised, made the cool videos and all that, stuff like adjusting the Hero engine to accommodate the game they were trying to make. The following was all you heard in the advertising: "SWTOR THE FIRST AND ONLY STORY DRIVEN MMO" I mean go back and google the advertising if you don't remember. They never ever never mentioned cool things like : PVP or raids. The game was doomed before it was ever released, in the concept of being an mmo So they built this great big story (class system) MMO with nothing else in it. anyone play Illum much before they did away with the PvP there? There was iirc one raid at release. They (BW) didnt have a clue, and they have been playing catch up since one month into release And the worst part is, as per almost every closed beta of anything in the gaming industry, closed beta testers highlighted all the problem, and yeah EA probably made BW push the game out early. Even if EA hadnt bought BW, the game would have still been the same basic story driven RPG made into a big mmo with no or few MMO parts. BW wasnt building a generic MMO they built what they wanted. We'd still have the same crappy engine and the same class story base game

Bringing back the comms or giving lowbies the same currency as 70's might do something, but expertise was a crutch once they changed it from 50 defense and 50 attack to whatever is was when they removed it

Honestly I love the low level PvP just seems better balanced may not be but seems that way to me so if it doesnt for you then thats your opinion and you are more than welcome to it. When the game first released, in a galaxy far far away, doing pvp at any level got you some kind of token or something or maybe Im just remembering that incorrectly. However, there was a blue set on introductory PvP gear one could purchase in your capitol city. On DK these vendors where in the same place that the class trainers were. This gear was removed somewhere during the second to third patch after release because I guess BW didnt really want us buying it at low levels before 50. Especially since GC I havent done any low level pvp as their is no incentive to do it, no rewards cept cash and XP I get nothing than I can use on any alt or main and personally 70's pvp is FOTM and will probably be forever more. Give me the same rewards as 70's and I'll play 10-thru anything all day everyday.

Excuse me! The republic side stories were written and travel along a linear path of "Yes I'm so cool I got to were shades" and were surely written for six year old Jedi fan boys/girls. And playing as a grey or dark sided Republic toon is just about the worst writing of anything BW has ever done, it could be considered right up there with mass Effect Andromeda writing. If the truth be known the people who worked on the Republic side stories where probably the same team that wrote and managed Mass Effect Andomeda and we see how that game ended

Personally i cant stand any of the republic side story. To me theres no one that would be that naive. THe smuggler story would be a complete waste of time without Risha, Meanwhile, Corso, along with that lizard guy and aric whatever his name as the first companions you get absolutely are terrible, The Jedi Knight story redeeming factor is T7 without t7 throw the story out the airlock. Imperial side you at least get the chance to be a semi-nice person and not kill everyone who irritates you. You can do the opposite of that as a republic player but it wasn't, in my humble opinion, written very well. As I have over 30 Inquistor toons, both advanced classes I might say the SI story was my favorite. My choices: Inquisitor Agent Warrior Bounty Hunter Why play anything else? OH and Ive been here since early release and dont not have the legacy or legendary or whatever title one gets for completing all class stories. I despise the pub side
