Put my name in the hat for wanting an Achievements system.

Sir, if it weren't considered trolling - I'd post the video from Billy Madison with the guy saying that we are all now dumber because of what you said. They have announced that they are working on long term plans to revamp Space Combat. You admit to knowing this. They have also announced that in the short term, they will continue to release new Space Missions on the rail. You don't have to like the new space missions on the rail - but a lot of players, including myself, actually like the rail space combat. MMORPGs have to meet the needs and interests of a varying group of people. I personally cannot stand huttball. I hate huttball like the devil. But I'm not going to ask BioWare to remove it, or get mad at them because they spent precious time developing it. A lot of people like Huttball, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yes, they will continue to develop space on rails, a feature that I really enjoy. However, I agree that Space Combat is not what it can be. I agree that it requires a huge over haul. They promised us this - and they are working on it. They just can't release any details about it because of the politics of MMO gaming. They are going to wait to release space combat news when they need to strategically reclaim players - and there is nothing wrong with that.

After reading through the thread, there is some blatant trolling going on here. It stinks of the Blizzard Viral Marketing team. First, the OP doesn't make any direct quotes, and assumes a lot by intentionally mis-interpreting the Q&A session. Then, someone with the name PandaMonk (obvious WoW reference is obvious) intentionally shortens an already short quote to mislead forum readers regarding the topic. This thread is useless, and misleading. These trolls are doing nothing but pissing people off with a lie. It is very clear to me that competitors and players of the competitors are scared of what SWTOR is trying to accomplish. That's a good thing . . .

If you're going to tell the story - tell the whole story. They are working on something for the long term that is different than what we currently have. Lets hope its worth the wait. Here is the full quote:

Wow - I'm not sure if I could stick around for that. They have talked about Super Servers, but really I'm not too sure how that is going to work in the short term. Seems they are going to do transfers in 1.3 - then eventually do Super Servers.

They have all been linked/sourced in this thread. Heck, the post before yours was mine quoting from one of the articles.

Then you're not looking in the right places . . . several articles to include Market Watch has talked about it.

This - Looks like we are getting information concerning an Expansion of some type.

Should I facepalm now or later? My computer runs the 110% speeders in Republic Fleet @ 60 FPS (w/ Vertical Sync on). I know that there are some graphic glitches out there, and I am a victim of the CTD/System Lock graphic glitch. The engine is more than capable of running the game appropriately. There are just some kinks that need to get worked out. Personally, I'd like to see Space Combat go a more Sand Boxy, less Rail system direction. I'd like exploration to play an important part of Space - and would like to see Space become a game all to itself.

I have a 560 ti, and I loved it . . . until SW:TOR did something horrible to it. My wife's ATI works beautifully, but my 560 ti system locks the entire computer while playing SW:TOR. Normally, I would suggest the 560 ti - but in this case; I'd have to go with the ATI for stability.

All of the gear - and yes, I mean all of it - needs a complete and total art direction change. Looking half decent at levels 1 - 10 is acceptable. Beyond there, you have to progressively look more awesome. In terms of the art direction chosen, I'm not even sure where to begin on whats wrong with a lot of the pieces of gear. It seems as though the developers literally said, "How do we make people look as horrible, and as ugly as possible?" Terrible . . . just terrible.

You want that nasty Yellow and Black Color Crystal? I hope that is last on their list of priorities.

He probably hasn't gone to Port Raga - or something. There is a side class quest on a space station. I think it is in Hutt Space - but I could be mistaken.

Trust me, I think Nobuo Uematsu is a far better composure than John Williams. One day, there will be a composer even better. However - the question was "Is there anything in SWTOR like this yet?" To me the answer seemed quite obvious - as if it weren't for John Williams, you wouldn't have the song that he linked. John Williams is a major inspiration to a number of different composers who went and inspired others. Trust me, we wouldn't have John Williams if it weren't for his inspirations. Musical evolution is rooted in previous works. The way SW:TOR captures John Williams' music and applied to the game is quite well done, and is very pleasing.

My answer to that question is rather simple - There are many times where the music captures my attention and fully immerses me into the game world. I've caught the hair on the back of neck rise on occasion. The problem with the music in the game is the general lack of it! There are way too many silent moments in the game, which can be incredibly detrimental to the cinematic nature of the game.

His music compared to some of the cinematic music used today is very similar. Understand that Robert W. Smith is not a cinematic music composer, but he most certainly experimented and dabbled in musical "science" (if you will) which is now commonly used in cinematic media. You won't hear much Robert W. Smith floating around modern media - and it is far from polished. But its definitely something worth mentioning as an inspiration for current composers and writers of music. Take this for example. There is a reason why his music is so frequently used in High Schools and Colleges.

<----- Six Month Subscriber - Soon. I just moved and had to pay a lot of extra cash to make it work; so I had to set my subscription down to 1 month recurring. I expect to correct this discrepancy next month.

I just need to /facepalm here. Star Wars in general set the standard for cinematic music for Games and Movies alike. Trying to ask is SW:TOR has comparably good music to WoW is like a slap in the face. If it wasn't for Star Wars and John Williams, the inspiration for a lot of modern day music just isn't there. Other heroes of music to be mentioned include Nobuo Uematsu, and Robert W. Smith. Seriously - this isn't an argument worth making or discussing.

I am editing my post because I now realize that English isn't his native language. Therefore, I digress.

To be completely honest - I've done a search function. There is about 1 or 2 threads about this - so I guess that means that I stand corrected. However, these issues are very insignificant, and are only affecting those who were to impatient to sit through a 15 minute queue at launch time. Also, this seems to be more of a faction imbalance issue - not a Server Population issue. There is a difference.

Hey look! Someone who paid a subscription fee so he can keep playing a game he hates, and keep posting on a forum full of people he loathes! How weird!

This game isn't going anywhere - also, note how there is 0 talk of Server Mergers. No on is even asking for them, nor will they within any notable time frame. That game is being bought up by more and more people each day - and there will be several waves of new players. We haven't even begun to see the beginning of the sustained population of players that will be participating in this game over a general length of time. I assure you - this game will be fully operational (and populated) several years from now, maintaining the same subscription based model it has today.

I want to unsubscribe from this thread. Weird - what kind of narcissistic, corn dog eating, basement troll spends his day trying to encourage other people to unsubscribe from a game he clearly doesn't care for? Oh yeah - a paid Blizzard Viral Marketer.

That's funny - my guild has over 100 members, and about 30 of us are level 50. None of them have had any problems running Heroics, Flash points (Hard Mode), and Operations. All of the 50s in my guild would love to see some new content - and are eagerly awaiting the release of this content. So please - go ahead and call us all liars. We'd like a good laugh.

I agree with this whole heart-idly! Baltimore Convention Center is an amazing place to hold a major event! The D.C. Capitol and Baltimore never get the love they deserve! Easy to fly to, easy to commute to - plenty of accommodations! Please hold an event here for your East Coast Fans!
