That's the problem. You just want to farm it for social points instead of for the appropriate intention of it. You want content trvialized because you want social points. That's just silly.

It's to prevent level 50's from joining a group that doesn't want level 50's in their flashpoint! Content needs to be appropriate for the right levels. I would be pissed off if i always got some 50 in my group for Black Talon.

Yeah. It will be so epic, that it will require 1 billion credits, and have it's reduced cooldown by a whopping 1 minute! Oh, and that's per charcter.

Except his positives outweigh your negatives. There are more beneficial reasons to have them than not. It's been 6+ months since beta. This issue was brought up then. So there is no more excuse that it cuts into development time. It's all about priority now, and Bioware thinks this isn't a priority, which it should be, because if you put up a poll, i guarantee the majority would choose them over fluff like Legacy.

Maybe Bioware should've been more clear then. They could've just summarized that post up with less words.

Chat bubbles enhance visual clarity in 3d space. It's better for communication during combat and gameplay, instead of having your eyes wander to the chatbox. I'ts not only for RP'ers.

Stay on your 50. Do every possible daily, do warzones, and do dungeons. It's the fastest way to get it. edit: i believe you get less Legacy points on lower level characters, which is a shame really.

People wouldn't want them as badly though if we started at lvl 1 with them. They are only complaining because they have to go through 10 levels again just to see if that class is what they really want. It's just tedious and restricting. It's bad design.

The issue isn't the pace of leveling. It's the repetition of it. We're forced to go through the same planets from 1-10 for each Species. We are restricted from taking a Sith to Hutta, as an example. This is because our class quests are specific to each planet. Very, very bad design. The Advanced Class system is also very bad. EQ2 tried to do this and it backfired. People want to know right away what kind of class they want, without having to waste 3-4 hours to choose an Advanced Class. Scrap the Advanced Class system, and let us choose from character creation. I can't believe Bioware overlooked these two major flaws that never worked in past MMO's. It's really astounding.

@OP nice list, but you just wasted your time. The lead dev at Bioware gets to decide, and so far, his vision isn't saving swtor. Most of what the OP listed should've been thought of before the designers wrote anything down. Any veteran MMO player should have seen why swtor failed, because they have decades of experience of what works, and what doesn't.

The current map is terrible visually. It's like a blueprint instead of an actual map. I can understand why it was designed the way it is. It was to please the Star Wars fans and make it immersive, but this is an MMO, and the map is important for distinguishing where everything is by using detailed information of terrain and layouts. As it is now, everything is just blue, with lines and paths. Please update this and make it more navigable.

The travel system is hurting swtor, because there's too much loading as it is. It discourages people from traveling. Make it worth our time and get rid of the redundant time sinks. It doesn't add immersion. It just wastes time. Time decreased by 1, 2, 3 minutes is a joke. Cumulative total = 6 minutes total in decreased time. Decrease the time by increments of 3, 5, and 7. Cumulative total = 15 minutes total in decreased time. (i would go even further to lower it to 10 min., but 15 min. is a nice balance.) This would decrease it in Half the Time, since QT is 30 min. It's at least better than 6 minutes. As it is now, it's not much of an incentive to even pick this up. Same goes for the Fleet Travel perk, which should be lowered by half. P.S. If you're going to respond, make a sound argument for your case, instead of the usual: "back in my day, we had to run 2 hours up a hill, and 2 hours down a hill, so therefore we are the hardcorez." There is nothing hardcore about visually staring at your screen, wasting time traveling, when you could be in the action of combat, or meeting up with friends and guildies faster, to do events.

I have a core 2 duo 2.13. It's running a lot better for me. Not sure why it's worse for you.

Why did you necro this thread? It's irrelevant now. The new planet is Makeb.

Merging should be the last thing they do. You want to have transfers first. so you can guage how many players transferred where, and how many are returning. Then several weeks later, you merge the remaining lowest pop. servers.

My FPS has increased vastly. I would know, because my PC is old now, and it lags terribly on the live servers, but on PTS, it's so much better, that i don't even want to play on live until 1.3 comes out. That's how good it's improved.

Although i can understand why they wanted the vintage music because of the movies, i feel they should make it more modern, and orchestral.

All characters, pre-1.2, should be given this option. I would've chosen my species more wisely if i had known Legacy was coming out.

There's a workaround to this. Before you transfer, decide which Destination server you want, then just make a character on it and choose the name you want to change. I know it's not ideal, and Bioware should do this, but that's probably the only way to ensure you get it changed.

Please make the UI minimalist. There's too much space being used up around the borders of the Skill Pane, Inventory Pane, Crew Skill Pane, etc. Please design a better map that doesn't look like a blueprint too.

I'm so disappointed. We won't be able to transfer any of our characters to a destination server. I first started on Mask of Nihilus, when game launched. Rerolled to Darth Xedrix, because of queues. Rerolled on Fatman, because Darth Xedrix is dead. Now Bioware is saying that Mask of Nihilus & Darth Xedrix might be in different server groups, which means they might not be able to transfer to one destination server. Very disappointing. They should have just let us transfer all our characters to one destination server.

QUESTION: If i move Character A (from my main server) to a Destination server, can i move Character B, C, D, etc., from Fatman to the same Destination server? What about all other characters that are spread out across different servers?

People did give feedback. In beta. After launch. And even to this day. It's up to Bioware to deliver. The millions of players stopped playing for a reason. It was because the game couldn't keep them interested, and it was mostly because of what's in that list.

Great list. All the fanbois will hate it though, because the reality is that swtor failed. It was a poorly designed game from it's concept.

What are the technical difficulties that Bioware is having? GW2 just came out with added features in less than 2 months, and chat bubbles was one of them. They didn't have nearly the budget that Bioware had either. What are you excuses Bioware?
