Bioware, I enjoyed the companion system and the first play through from 1-50 story line... You did what you set out to do; Buy/lease an IP (Intellectual Property...Star Wars), create a great 1 player game, and sell MMO subscriptions to generate Monthly Recurring Revenue for EA, with a near unlimited budget. You stated you were surprised about the interest of PVP. It was shocking information, I can imagine. There are over 564 Thousand posts on your PVP forums (second largest to general) Story and Lore has 1/10th amount of posts. Keep releasing story and lore, new hairstyles, armor styles, and legacy content. I know my Guild is just itching for another color of a light saber. Your consumers have requested more PVP content and people to PVP with. You illusioned to the content, and still haven't delivered it. Over 1 Million people have decided not to pay a monthly fee from your total Client sales. My questions is will you come back if, and when, Bioware/EA lives up to their promises? Best of Luck, I'm out! p.s. Anyone know how to "Close" a prepaid (time card) account?

Thanks op for the discussion. I've often wondered why there are not class action lawsuits against Gaming companies that produce MMO's. To my knowledge it is the only product that can be constantly changed, over promised, and under delivered, and still keep consumers. Could you imagine 2 million people pre-buying a brand new Lexus. The car is suppose to have all these great features that are listed by the manufacturer. The car is built, then shipped and has only 3 wheels, no windshield, and no GPS, all of course promised and listed on the box. What kind of lawsuit would Lexus/Toyota face, what kind of repercussions would it have on their brand and buyer loyalty? Worse... 4 months later Lexus says, that was pre-release here I'll give you 4 wheels, and a windshield, but that promised GPS... you'll still have to wait. (Ranked WZs!)

OP, thanks so much for the screen shots and the build link. Would you call this a HOT and DOT build in pvp? I had a few questions for you. How many KB's did you get? How many Solo Kills? How many times did you save someone from dying by doing more healing than they took in dmg in a few GCDs? Are you finding this HOT and DOT build to be a powerful force in PVP, and a game changer for your team and against the opposition? Or is this just a great way to have high numbers? Thanks!

Wow... the replies to your honest question makes me worry about this PVP community, no one asked if you bought your lvl 40 gear yet? If you have not, you want to buy all of your lvl 40 pvp gear for you and your companions... That is the only thing to buy between lvls 20 and 40. Also prebuy all of your weapons for you and your companions. lv 38, 42, 46 etc... Do not waste them on converting or buying bags until you have done all of this. After you have done all of this, Max your Warzone commendations and Mercenary commendations. Merc comms will trade 10:10 in 1.2. Sit on them until 1.2... then buy Battlemaster. Protip... have even more extra commendations? Buy more lvl 46 weapons, and swap out the mods with your lvl 40 PVP gear.

op, a good friend of mine was kind enough to buy me a n52te to replace an old dying N50. I enabled all my tool bars, 2 bottom, 1 left, 1 right I hot labeled the top (of the bottom) hotbar 1-9,0,-,=, same as default the very bottom I used the numeric #'s 1-9 (from the ten key) left bar is Ctrl+1-9 and right is Shift+1-9 So, to your question, I use some simple macros.. probably against the Eula but @#$em for not having one in game. I have 5 fingers on my left hand not 20+ My ring finger presses one button, and the Macro will read 2, (2).... (2) being the numbered keypad 2. 2 is Recklessness and (2) is Force Lightning. This allows me to always use Recklessness when off CD, and cast force lightning immediately afterwards. However, since these guys just started making MMO's last week they don't take into account combat animations with server latency. This sometime causes issues with a macro setup. When in all other games they work just fine. Patch 1.2 has a glimmer of hope in fixing some of this. If you want my template and a screenshot PM me. Kind Regards, Aone, Phoneguy, Phone

Why do you want to get valor 65? Last I checked there is absolutely NO POINT to valor after 1.2 hits.

"I know my rotations and I beat the global cooldown tenfold." Guy's and Gals this is the year 2012. You are paying to play an online video game. If you can't come up with $50 to buy a gaming pad... well then I'm likely paying for your wellfare checks or you're a broke college student. If you're not one of those two... go buy a gaming pad... whichever one fits your hand, so you can stop saying you are "good" and be great! Tab targetting is broke in this game, so are combat animations. You should be "clicking" on your target and using keybinds to attack with and control your target and heal your allies. Do you have all of the combat bars enabled? Two on the bottom, one on the left, one on the right? Filled with abilities, and items? Did you bring the "ops/Raid" frames closer to your character so it's easier to heal the near dead guys? Did you find which abilities trigger the GCD and which do not so you can maximize combat? Can you run jump, and cc, and throw the huttball to someone all before you hit the ground? When people say L2P... they say this because of these things. You can't be the best if you click.

Listen up "Dev's". I want to share an experience with you and provide user quality feedback regarding your open world or RvR pvp, or lack thereof. Your future patch notes looks like it effectively has no plans for open world pvp... good job! So why don't you make the "Find Outlaw's Den" pvp quest you pick up at 40 a repeatable daily NOW!!! Here's my story, I am que'd for wz... almost always am, because I like to PVP. I bust over to Tatooine, press space bar 3 times to skip the "cinema" of my ship flying away from the fleet and jump on my elongated pixels... speeder. I ride that pony all the way to another speeder I jump on that takes me just south west of Outlaw's Den. I remember this from my lvl 50 Repub... who sucks btw (because of delayed combat animations) and is shelved. I run into the BARREN area and get my quest credit.... Great! So far best single player Star Wars game EVER! Wait what's this... a wz pop... cool other people that want to pvp! I take it. We win a Huttball, surprise, surprise. I exit Huttball, I watch the sweet Tatooine load screen for 2-3 minutes (My Rig eat's your Rig's Wheaties for breakfast). Wham, back to the barren dessert of Outlaw's Den... whoa awesome dude, my "30 min get the H3LL out of here" button is off CD. I hit it and BAM.... a red Lightsaber hits me in the back of the head.... It's on Like Donkey Kong (another great single player game btw), so now what, I'm in a heated battle for my life with lightning bolts and sabers flying, my health goes so low I almost die, I CC, I get CC'd, he/she's full resolve, i'm in trouble, my hearts pounding.... my first open world pvp fight... I'm 40 he/she's 47 but I'm having a blast... nearly dead again... WZ pops... phew another Huttball! We win again, I come back (another 2-3 min load screen) and it's the same abandoned dessert again..... you can fix this you know? Or maybe you can't? Heck I'll even ask the sweet community for help, won't be any flamers or trolls responding to this bad boy. So, how does BW write the code to make the lvl 40 pvp quest go to Outlaw's Den repeatable daily? There you go... saved your game for 3 more months... cause trust me it's not 1.2! Peace, Phoneguy, AKA AONE.

bigsafej, If this wasn't Star Wars would you play it? I read your STORY, along with a handful of others that "like" the STORY, cause I like the STORY too. But what did you like about the GAME, what did you like about huttball or PVP in SPECIFIC? I see so much constructive criticism about what could make this STORY a great game. But I don't see much about people liking the STORY about specifically what they like about the GAME. I pay to play a GAME, I read books for a STORY.... It's clear that EA bought a story, bought an engine, and very poorly put them together for 2012 standards. If you can't see that then your soap bottle is out of soap and your pot is on your head too tight.

Listen up champs and OP, this isn't complicated: BW messed up... they know it, every player that has ever played a video game knows it. If this is your first video game ever... well then you might not see it. This has been brought up a BILLION times by constructive and non constructive posts. This is the reason I will not play this trash past my 3 months sub. Look at the first part of this video (10k hits), see when he clicks the instant ability, see the twirl of the lightsaber, see when the dmg is resolved. Get it? Whether you think it matters or not doesn't matter. It is what it is. There is no way BW can fix this without a HUGE overhaul... more like SWTOR2. This is on all classes and nearly all abilities. It effects PVE and PVP combat mechanics and NO game I have ever played is this clunky and disconnected. You can forget competitive pvp or gameplay. The foundation is broken, gl BW, I expected better.

"last night I killed a few guys in WZs before my inititial stun wore off. this is why: -grabbed expertise buff - popped crit+surge relic, and power relic" See, this bothers me, and it's what's wrong with this patch and most of this community. After 1.1 this was disabled, what happens is your crit buff overides the wz expertises buff, or vice versa. SO YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH RUNNING NOW! Then 2 days later BW says... whoa Ops/Scoundrel need some toning down... check this vid out man, this guy kills this guy in like 3 seconds... wow! Let's nerf em all. My question is to you when they nerf me and I come kill you again and again and again, are you going to come cry nerfs or l2p? I have never, ever, ever been beaten my an operative... i'm a smuggler... why? Cause I know how to beat me. 2 months left on sub.

First off, I want to thank BW for undergoing a huge challenge from a business perspective; I can understand the financial implications of taking a franchise and making it a success or failure. From a paying subscribers point of view I hope you find the information below valuable and constructive. I will also be posting this on additional community boards along with sending this to your respective competitors. Top 10 reasons to continue playing SWTOR past 90 days: #10 Pressing a direction after the cast bar is up while mounting your speeder does not boot you off (you also have to wait for the complete animation to mount, and then you can move), this also applies to many combat abilities ie Dirty Kick. #9 Using “Instant” abilities are INSTANT…. (fyi this is not a lag/latency/pc issue), try using Leg Shot. Watching the animation is cool but not when it takes 1 second longer before/after the GCD. You ever play Super Mario Bros? p.s. This is NOT resolved on the PTR #8 LOS (line of sighting) channeled abilities/a ranged attack prevents you from being hit around corners. Channeled abilities and dots do dmg at the first tick of landing, not halfway through. #7 Darth Vader comes to you in a dream and tells you to “continue playing or else” and you wake in a cold sweat with finger prints around your neck and it wasn’t your spouse this time. #6 A Combat Log is available for players that want to see dmg done to them and dmg/healing they do… seriously 200 large and you don’t have it? #5 There is NEVER EVER a push to live a "stealth" change that is not on PTR notes: increasing the cost of pvp equipment below 50, making stealth classes unable to slice starting from stealth (PVP). In some countries I think you lose a hand for this. #4 Open, honest, constant communication with your 1Million plus subscribers. This is the PR’s job and they should say when it’s messed up, when things will be fixed, and what the plans are 24/7. Stop wasting customer’s time and resources. #3 Your wife/gf starts dressing like Princess Leia when you play SWTOR #2 Implemented changes to the game, which are not requested by a single paying customer, cease to exist. Who requested another Flashpoint? And the top reason to continue paying past 90 days…. #1 Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Dominus, or The Secret World is not released yet! Be sure to add to the list, although I’m confident this will fall on deaf ears and another gaming company will get my sub. It’s 2012, at the bottom of a recession, money and time are precious. If a product doesn’t meet your standards stop buying it. Would you buy a car with 3 wheels, when you are promised one with 4, ahh who’m I kidding you don’t even have a license . Kind Regards, Phone

Super good question OP. I'm not sure what you should do but I went here and signed up for Beta: http://www.dominusthegame.com/ Best, Phone

Thanks for making the post there OP. Did you see this Patch Note? Players who are interacting with a Warzone objective and are then affected by an area of stealth effect will have the objective interaction interrupted. This ensures players cannot exploit area of stealth effects to secure Warzone objectives unaffected and unseen by defending players. I believe this caused an unintentional bug for us stealthers in pvp. As I too am no longer able to interact with objects (only in pvp) while starting from stealth (not talking about aoe stealth). Normally you could "slice" a turret while stealthed and it immediately would break stealth and then begin slicing. Now I have to break stealth manually (only way to do this is to recast stealth) and then interact with the object... again only happening in PVP. I feel this detracts from the immersion of gameplay and causes unnecessary clicks on the players part and loss of time. I request that BW look into this further as soon as possible.... my sub is on the line. Kind Regards, Phone

It's like the blind leading the blind here. How about I share some site (lol get it): http://db.darthhater.com/recipes/biochem/#recipes:0-2-3 What you nubs don't get is that when you get to be lvl 50... in about a week, you can buy and reuse any Rakata Biochem. Nuf said? Probably not for you pros... that means a Chem crafter who dumps 300k+ in his/her profession will sell you a shiny one for 5/10k? Sounds op to me.... Still not clear? That means being a Biochem gives no advantage to any other player or any other crafter at lvl 50. Below 50... as many have pointed out, by the time you get a purple recipe you have out-leveled it's use not unlike all other crew skills. My favorite reply was to the claim of it's opness in pvp... lolz! In Warzones because of bolster medpacks give a fraction of hp, and green & blue are available to everyone and have the same or better effect! I rolled Biochem because I like to be self sufficient, not happy with your profession, who made you pick it?
