I do option 3 16 hours a day, let me have option 1 and 2 , pls!

Is it me or it shows population cut by half? Or is it hours spent in game? which could just be biased by the holiday season?

The only liquified excrements i have seen is rakghouls' on Taris. They also look like trolls very much.

Because not coming to forums to avoid trolls means a healthy game right?

Ya this was exactly what i meant, sorry if im not being 100% clear as it is 7AM here lol.

You should say less text. Because I still have to read what the pigman just snorted, as I do not speak that language IRL. Voice acting is nice, yes. But I would much rather have mmo features than voice-acting for every single side-quests.

So in wow you cleared DS on your second week of raiding on HM? Better let those guys who have the world first that they actually don't have it. Even DS is harder on normal than the two raids we have on NMM. The only way to defferentiate the hardcore raiders in this game from the casuals is to check who didn't cancel their sub, there are the casuals.

That made me lol quite a bit.

At least my post has the merit of being funny (think it is obvious I am just joking). Most of the people supporting the OP call everyone else out as being: "Ifacerollzcontentzgimmemoarraidz". It seriously is a good thing you can enjoy the same 9/10 missions all over again, and killing rakghouls by thousands, good for you, I am not telling you not to enjoy it, I am telling someone who asked me WHY the stories to me were less than super-duper-great. What makes almost every single player who posted that supported the OP look bad tho, is the fact they can't even understand that I do not plan to pass 5 years enjoying cool stories. Well-thought stories are a PLUS that is nice to have, but I will refer you to my previous posts, go answer to all my "does it compensate" post and you will understand my point of view a little bit better. The fact that you love stories or not IS NOT THE ISSUE. The issue is that ALL it does only half decently (again some stories i think are really bad) is story-telling, it fails in so many other departments, that even if it would blow me away with stories, it would still suck!

This is the first time I agree with Spymaster ... where is the world going? wait, we are in 2012 now, it's going to end. Seriously, You might have found something there, they were maybe trying to please everyone and failed at it? Trying to direct their game in different directions all at once made it a sub-par experience for alot of people? Am I understanding it right? Cause I think you might just be right.

Been 50 for awhile actually. Since there is no point whatsoever at running HM flashpoints or even normal mode operations, I have experienced HM/NMM, way too easy to be even considered slightly challenging. As for grouping, I only group during those raids(3 hours a week) and when i pvp. PVP is not so enjoyable in its current form at level 50, as battlemaster geared players simply faceroll non geared 50, sucks to be a new 50 i guess. Only thing I got left to do is level an alt and enjoy the same half-assed questing experience again or sit on the forums and piss you off, I chose option 2 tonight.

3 words champ! here you go, just for you: http://www.wordcounttool.com/

I said that numerous times already, in other threads. How is it that i receive the Master title on my jedi knight, yet I am completely corrupted by the dark side of the force. A cool story related implementation of faction change would be awesome and unique. It could be require max level of darkside/lightside points and would reset your total to 0 upon changing faction, for example. THAT is a creative way to implement a nice MMO feature into the story. Promoting my jedi to master after slaughtering innocents, conspiring against the republic and commiting acts of treason is a shame!

What? You mean the 2-3 heroic4 that you don't even have to do on each planet? Because last I checked, Heroic2+ are EASILY soloable, as for the flashpoints, it hardly makes it for 5% of the total of the game. Can't beat half the content solo? You are either greatly exagerating or you fail hard. As for the wow endgame you quoted... LOL this endgame is so much of a joke that it is the bugs that makes the fights harder(even then they are a joke), not the bosses themselves(even on NMM, btw).

Yup, you're right....21 players is HUGE!

gratz you are playing on a server where more than 10 people even bother with Ilum now. Keep up the good work Bioware, Ilum needs fix people are still playing it.

Page 44 and still people pretending to know how i and MANY others play the game. This community is full of know-it-alls that skip 43 pages of reading and yet put their comments on the topic, gratz boys you are so cool. EDIT: at least make the effort to read the last page to see how the conversation evolved? just a hint for future reference.

This is especially true when you take a big IP like star wars, where ALOT of players pre-ordered the game. This game took so much time and ressources to develop, yet Bioware failed at delivering what was expected from them. I really wanted to love this game, I tried hard, but everyday made it harder and harder. It is sad as I was really seeing me play this game long term. /shrug life goes on.

Ya but they are still at level 20 smelling the roses apprently, they won't listen to what we have to say and we are all story-hating monsters. RAWWWR /eat another storyfreak.

So to you the story overweights everything this game failed to deliver? So the storylines are so polished, never seen before that it compensates people receiving threats of a ban because they were using the GTN "too much"? It compensates for people having framerate issues on top end rig? It compensates the fact that the grass mysteriously grows 20 feet in front of me as I move? It compensates the fact that new lvl 50s who want to pvp are matched against mostly fully battlemaster geared players due to the ilum flop, thus having absolutly no chance to survive? How fresh, new and interesting your storylines will be in a month, when to do yet another story from a different class you have to redo the same 9/10 missions over again? It compensates for all those alien tongues I have to hear all the time (yes, snort some more pigman)? It compensates for the lack of different skins for gear, heck even NAMES for gear (run esseles a couple times and tell me how you enjoy your esseles robe, esseles boots and esseles belt)? How does your story explain the 5 thousand darkside jedis on the fleet all wearing the same piece of armor and the same red lightsabers? Go ahead, play your game, honnestly more power to you if you enjoy the story so much that it blinds you, cause the only way you could answer yes to ALL of this, is if you are completely blinded by the fireworks Bioware produced and this is not necessarily a bad thing, because I would like to enjoy this game as much as I did for the first month.

First, thank you for responding in a decent post. I am not asking devs to review addons one by one, just don't let modders code what you dont want them to code, it is, in fact, pretty simple. I, for one, played a watchman sentinel. I have some dots to apply to my target. It would be VERY convenient for me to be able to easily know which one of the 4 watchman dots is mine. Is it game breaking? heck no, but very annoying when I have to guess and clip my dots by mistake. As far as pvp goes, a simple addition to the coding of the game automatically disabling all addons upon entering a WZ could be the solution. For people caliming GS killed the raiding, I am sorry, but as I stated before, there is a simple feature in the game already called "inspect", which show all your gear, you can't get away with your greens in a NMM OP, sorry. And for those claiming DPS meters broke "THE game", pretty simple (I assume) for the devs not to let modders have access to other people's numbers if they dont want to. I only use DPS meter to test my builds and support my own theorycrafting.

They are leaving "a certain mmo" because their last expansion was crap, not because of addons. The whole L2P excuse is pathetic, because most addons help you achieve just that. Tell me, who would you like to get in your raid group: Someone doing EVEYTHING he can to improve his performance or the guy refusing to use addons because he doesn;t like em?

It is NOT normal when your ONLY selling point failed at delivering what it was supposed to!!!! It is NOT normal, in 2012, that a MMO does NOT have any kind of UI adjustment, why should I have to wait 4 months to get that? It is NOT normal that there is NO combat log. I would be ALOT more patient if the story was GREAT, but it is NOT. Some of the lightside/darkside choices don't even make sense. No coherence at all, from those 2 examples, it seems like my jedi did everything possible to hurt the republic and was awarded lightside points for it.

But to you, this story is so great that it is able to carry the game all by itself? If you take into consideration all the MMO features tht Bioware left out of the game, the poor choice of a gaming engine, their HORRIBLE customer support, the fact that end-game is all about fighting against bugs more than bosses because they are simply too easy even in nightmare mode, but yet buggy as hell. you think the "great" story compensates? This is all about story, like i said, story and lore is what brings new blood in the game, the end-game is what keeps them playing.

the problem is even tho this is a story-driven MMO, which imo is bad design to start with, the story isn't great enough to carry the weight of a MMO. Story is what attracts players, end-game is what keeps them in. You can try to change that, and it leads to ... well ... this.
