  1. Prior to the patch I believe I was able to deconstruct assembly components and get an augment slot component and a few raw materials of the same level. Now it seems they are just returning a few raw materials. In short, I can't produce any augment slot components. Am I doing something wrong?
  2. That is another dismissive, and quite silly argument...and exactly why WoW ended up killing Everyquest, and why Brad was from the game that he originated. "Stop playing the game" It is not a solution, but just more arrogant dismissing and counter productive to their mission statement. In short, foolish of any company to argue. Do I tell my particular customer base to "go somewhere else" during a sales event, or do I mold my marketing campaign around all potential customers? This entire discussion is a circular logic minefield and totally unnecessary. The solution is to stop letting the NPCs pelt people over an over again, and allow people to turn off the particle effects, or eliminate them altogether. They are not necessary, a simple confirmation not of floating text or in chat will validate. No one sticks around to watch the snowflakes after they pummel someone. Like every other event, they shoot and run to the next target to get through it.
  3. You are making all too much sense here. But seriously. Outstanding post.
  4. Your argument is a hasty generalization fallacy, and you are speaking both sides of the argument, with a sort of arrogance that declares you "the winner" with not a lick of knowledge as to how the programing works. I've worked in the field. If they can program a complicated event, they can program a simple solution. Easiest? Turn off the particle effects. Done and done.
  5. That is exactly what he is arguing. His game play is as important to him as yours is to you. The sort of mentality being displayed here is exactly why WoW killed Everyquest. They appealed to the entire player base, not just those seeking one "style" of play. Your play should not disturb his play is the argument on the board, and it is a valid one. Preventing the annoyance for him, does not affect your gameplay at all, but the other way around does affect his.
  6. Seems that the problem with game boards is that there are people who think this is part of the game and seek to "win" rather than participate in logical discourse...as evidenced by some of the illogical, or ad hominem style replies here. The solution here is not a tough one, and has already been suggested. Remove the particle effects, have the NPCs cease pelting people, take rational discussions such as yours to heart and strive to provide as much enjoyment with as little annoyance to the entire player base as is possible.
  7. Your first paragraph is not an argument but a personal attack. What you are trying to do here is to insult me directly as a means of dismissing the argument on the board. You have invoked a number of sophomoric logical fallacies from, tu quoque fallacy all the way to Ad Hominem. Going to have to drop that hook into someone else's lily pond, chief. Not going there. Your second paragraph is even worse, reductio ad absurdum, or extrapolating to the extreme in order to dismiss another's argument rather than challenge it. Again, get back to me when you are willing to discuss the issue, rationally, as a means of satisfying the desires of all players, not just those who you approve of, or events that you approve of, and without the snitty little insults. The solution here is not rocket science, and the suggestions from other players, who do not desire to be forced to play "your way" is valid and should be considered for the next event.
  8. 1. No one forced me to "log into the game". I'm paying for that. Argument makes no sense, except as to dismiss. Argue the point on the board. 2. So I should avoid an aspect of the game because you "feel" that I should, rather than the developers creating an event that does not annoy other players, who are, btw, paying for a service. That's just another dismissal argument 3. The internet muscles, tough guy talk was yours. I just reproved it. I believe yours was removed also. 4. The "sensitive" argument is yet another dismissal tactic, and an insult, but you have still not addressed the issue on the board...and btw, I'm A US Marine Sgt, with two tours, so the "tough guy" talk is laughable. Get back to me when you are ready to discuss the argument on the board rather than insult, bully, or try to intimidate other posters with your dismissal tactics...and the issue on the board is how to create an event for some players that does not irritate, or infringe upon other players. Pretty simple to understand, even easier to solve.
  9. A rational thought. How did you get in here? The particle effects are exactly the annoying issue.
  10. The reality here is that when given an ability to either disrupt another's game-play, or annoy another, the kiddies will do so, and with gusto. One would think that, after 12 years, the developers would have learned that. In fact, and no offense, I'm not sure which is more annoying, snowflakes dancing around my screen or your suggested solution.
  11. Silly argument. Those other events are what we call, Voluntary. We go there by choice, for the intent to participate. When I am at the GTN trying to concentrate on what I'm doing, I am not voluntarily choosing to participate in this silly event.
  12. It's already dead according to the internet experts. It died right after it launched. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. It died again with the first expansion. I saw that too. Died a third time when it added FTP, or was that something that saved it? Not sure, it's died so many times. The point is that it's still here, and it's still doing well. When it will end is anyone's guess, but for now, for the next year or so, its here. Enjoy the ride.
  13. Hard mode is not hard. It is what we used to call normal. All one has to do is to pay attention to, and learn the mechanics (which are the essence of a raid). The problem is that most pugs want to just go in and steam-roll for gear; that most pugs will have players that do not know the fights. EV and KP are the most noted raids that pretty much everyone knows, and they are super easy. Nothing wrong with the way puggers want to go about it. For them there is story mode. For raiders there is hard, and nightmare. Everyone has a level of raid that they can participate in. The problem is, as has been stated, that there are no new raids.
  14. Nice. Thanks for the reply. ;p
  15. A fool and his game are soon parted? ;p
  16. They did not take anything away, the game simply moved past you. I'm in the same situation having just returned after some 6 months or so. That is how MMO's work.Everyone else that is now ranked paid for the expansion. There would be a greater unfairness if you were to get what everyone else paid for, for free. Not sure what anyone else can add that has not already been said. The game has not taken anything my friend. You are being unreasonable on this matter.
  17. Old player returning. Question on outfit collections. If I have a character that originated a collection, and delete him, do I lose that outfit from my collections? I have a sith assassin that collected the Conservator's set and I want to delete him. Are collected sets permanent or will I lose it? I'm assuming they are an account thing, but don't want to take the chance without knowing. Thanks in advance.
  18. I have to tell ya, any character is easy to run if you keep them geared in at least blues (companion also). I have three raid level and a mess of alts. I find all of them to be rather easy to run, even the tanks and healers (my first was my tank). Only time i die is to stupid. I like the sorc and Consular myself, enjoy the Operative also (very fast because of stealth), and love running FPs. Use your planetary coms (they are generic now so can be used to buy mods from any planet at any level) and you will make enough to keep your companion in blues and do some of your own. Make a cyber tech and use the alt to farm up mats and feed your CT (mine are scavenging, underwold, and whatever else you may want.) Put on orange gear at level 10 and mod it every 4 levels of so. My strategy is to boost all xp gains through legacy, use the major xp boosts, do daily space, FP, PVP and you will have enough xp to avoid all the side quests and just enjoy the story. .....but honestly, play what you will enjoy end game because they are all pretty easy to level.
  19. Yep. Pretty much the same. I have completed 3 myself, the holy trinity (tank, healer, dps), through end game while in my guild. Took a break for a few months, now working through new stories and will do end game with them if I stick around. By then I'm thinking, and hoping, for a level cap increase and new OPs for my older characters to run.
  20. LOL. Alts. OP. alts. I'm not a fanatical player. I've been here since launch. I've completed three of the eight and geared them up, done end game etc....and am now working to do the other 6 stories....and I do spend most of my time playing that Old MMORPG, RL....but alts are fun, the stories are good and with all the xp boost out there you only have to do the daily FP, Space Missions, and PVP in order to skip all side quests and just concentrate on the story. datacrons, gearing etc. (which makes it way more fun for me)
  21. This is what I'm thinking for any futures. Leave one minor high level up there with like 100 lures. Log on, run the loop in Clabburn, go back to playing....or even leave him at one nest and just log, try, log off as there is no hurry from this point on. Best way I think.
  22. Yes. Saw that. There are other purchase options also, including the CM....but really two things here. First is that I really wanted to do a fun quest for this, and do so on most of my chars. Yanno, so each would earn the mount while going through hoth, or even doing so that like my gunslinger could have one earlier? Second is the cost. At 1.5 mil per, I'd be up around 20 million to supply my mains and alts. Way too much for just one single mount of many, (including animal mounts). Got it done though. MY GS has his mount, but honestly not something I'd want to slog through again. Maybe leave my mains in position for the day and get another just in case (if i have some time), maybe buy one later on, but not something I'd want to do as a game quest, or set up logistically again. Was just too tedious to do on all chars, and not really what I'd call "game fun".....like perhaps when I did my speeder quests through raids and world boss kills etc. That was enjoyable and done "as you go". Thanks for the help and information though. Saved me a lot of time. Very much appreciated. ;p
  23. Right? That's the thing. Its not a quest, its a boring camp (or grind). A quest would have been great, even jumping planets to track down the illusive widget from the mysterious guy who's daughter's, mother's, father had ventured to Hoth to learn the secret ways a taming the tauntaun would be at lest fun.....but sitting on spawn points or running from one to another hopping the RNG Gods are on your side is anything but fun. Finding "work-arounds" by using multiple chars, or anything else is not very immersive either. In fact, as I'm doing here, it takes you right out of the game. I think I'll do the first one just because I'm into it and have already invested the time, but I doubt I'll ever do it again. Even the logging from char to char is tedious. LOL But thanks to all for the advice and info (and humor). Appreciate it.
  24. Only one instance, no drops to buy, or I wold be doing that. Not looking to pay over a million creds on the GTN for a novelty mount thats rather ugly and not the one I want. LOL. I heard about the quest so I thought I'd try it and have some fun getting one but its been anything but fun. In fact, pretty boring and tedious (going on 5 hours, multiple chars, about a 1 in 15 success rate thus far, with extreme re-spawn times). Honestly, If not for being here doing work anyway and logging on to the game every hour I'd not be doing it and just not have the mount. Unfortunate as if it were thought out a bit better I could see it being a fun quest.
