  1. Hello Friends. Major Tuff Game Founder reporting. Playing this game since I Beta tested it before public launch, it has come a long way since then. I also played the original Star Wars Galaxies by SOE for 7 years till SOE closed down the Servers. One thing I always wondered about with SWTOR is why 2 players in a group can't use the same 2 seat Speeder or Taxi to go to a location together. In SWG we were able to do that & it was awesome. Yes, my group member would be able to get into my 2 seat Speeder & I would drive to the location, or if it was a taxi, we could both jump in & it would take us both the location chosen. How I wish we could do that in SWTOR. Take this as a suggestion. The current state of the PTS is running great for me, however I'm sure we all know we can't use the Cartel Market to buy anything. We need it to open up inventory & buy what we need or perhaps still have our account collections. I'm a system builder & I've been building my own custom gaming PC's over 40 years. You wanted to know my current configuration. Asus ROG Strix B550 E Gaming Motherboard, Ryzen 7 5800 X @ 4.3 Ghz, 16 Gigs of Crucial Ram @ 3200 Mhz. 2 TB NVME M.2 SSD 5000 MB/s read & 4775 MB/s write speed. GeForce GTX 1080 TI. My new build runs great. In closing, I hope to see all the Characters we created transferred to the 64 Bit Server. I know, all in good time.
  2. You tube Videos have been posted about the End of SWTOR due to the making of Anthem & other reasons. I hope & pray SWTOR never Ends. I hope the Servers for SWTOR stay online for many years to come. As long as SWTOR is making $$$ & has a good player Base, then why pull the plug ? I Beta tested this game & I loved it then & love it even more now. I can create & play the same Character from level 1 all the way to Level 70 more then once just to enjoy the story lines & the laughs over again. I think it would be foolish to do away with SWTOR. I don't care what new Games may be coming out. I love my Light Sabre. I love all the Characters I've created & I've introduced the Game to a couple Friends & they love it. In short, I ask Bioware & EA to think 3X before you ever decide to pull the plug on SWTOR. Thank you.
  3. I purchased the Legacy Portable Storage Droid that can be used in the Field. It will not allow me to store Bound Items I purchased from the Cartel Market. The Storage Bank on my Ship does not give me that problem. I think the portable storage Droid should allow me to store everything, including bound Items I purchased on the Cartel Market. I can store those Items in my Ship Storage, But My Portable Storage Droid will not accept those Items. When I try to store Bound Cartel Market Items in my portable storage Droid, it won't go in, & I see an on Screen msg in red "Item is bound".. I don't have this problem when using the one one my Ship. Please investigate & advise me via Email if possible. Thank you.
  4. Ok.. I guess I'm wrong if Sony didn't do it for SWG. I'm wrong about who implemented Multi rider speeders in SGW. If you know who did, Post it. I'll stand corrected.
  5. I'm a 7 year SWG Vet, & one thing I'd like to see is more Speeders with 2 seats & more then 2 seats like a group Skiff. In SWG we had a lot of 2 seat Speeders that can be used by 2 players that are grouped, meaning one Driver & one passenger riding in it to get to different destinations as per Driver control. This was a lot of fun in SWG. When my Girlfriend & I grouped & did Quests together we had 2 seat speeders to go places while I drive my Speeder & She's the passenger or She drives her Speeder & I'm the passenger. This awesome fun thing to be able to do is missing in TOR. Also We have Taxi's in TOR with 2 seats. If 2 players that are grouped & doing the same Quests, & going to the same Waypoints together Why can't we take a passenger with us like we were able to do in SWG? The ability to do this was so much fun. We could just drive around & see the sights, like on a date. Very Cool & fun thing to do. We would also get chased by the Monsters in the area if we got too close. We would speed away & hide in a cave. How I wish the Developers would consider implementing this fun & useful idea into TOR. Sony did it to SWG, Why can't it be done in TOR ?
  6. Thank you my friends for replying to this post. The more people that add to it, the more hope we may have the Dev's will see it & get serious & give us what we want. I see we're going to get houses to live in, like in SWG. That's a plus, but give us better & more realistic flying in space. Give us the programmable flight stick option. Let us fly the way we should be flying. I feel more of us will enjoy it.
  7. Flying with a mouse is not real flying.. In SWG we had the option to use & map out a Flight stick with reprogrammable buttons for all aircraft control surfaces & weapons. Controls for up & down Elevator, left & right Aileron for banking, center stick twist for left & right Rudder, will need invert options if not correct. I'm a 7 year SWG vet. & the flying was more realistic & so much more awesome in SWG with a Flight stick. I know some people may like flying with a mouse, but giving us the option to use & map out Flight stick controls will allow those of us that want to use it, the real flying feel, & the feeling of flying by the seat of your pants. I'm also a USAF Vietnam Vet.. & I'm asking the Dev's to make this possible with Space combat.. Let us fly with Flight sticks, like I'm in the Cockpit for real.. Do this for us & make the Combat more realistic & more enjoyable,, Please....... Thank you
  8. My feelings on F2P. I agree with some of the posts here. My thoughts are as follows. If your going to have a F2P option or mode, then yes you better have F2P servers for this, so not to allow the lag get any worse then what it is now for Sub payers. Put he F2P players on F2P Servers. We dont need more lag added by non Sub players. If the lag gets any worse then what it is now because you allow the F2P players on Sub payer Servers, well you better think about how many Sub payers will get an attitude & maybe quit this game due to lag. I agree on the Idea to let F2P players get just a taste of this game & NOT have any access to Sub payers content. The Dev's will have to think of ways to tease F2P players just right, in just the right way to make them see what they are missing out on & want to pay for it. One Idea I have is to grant all Sub paying players the best dam Armor & Weapons you can get in the game as a reward for paying for it. This would indeed be a great thing for the Dev's to think about. Yes,, Think about rewarding your Sub paying accounts with awesome rewards like this, content you just cant have in F2P content. Yes,,, tease the non payers into a frenzy enough to want to pay,,, Thats the ticket..... Once non Sub payers find out how well Sub payers get treated with awesome free rewards for paying,,, now your talking... The one thing I must still complain about is the overall expense of Items in the game. Example, 300,000 for a lvl 3 speeder ride from Dark & Light side Venders on the Fleet? Come on Man,,, Stop this,,, Start realizing how hard it may be or is to come up with 300,000 credits to get it... There is a missing fun factor here with the high expense of all the good things in the game,& this expense trend is one of the biggest things that ruined SWG/NGE. I was a 7 year Vet on that game & everything was so expensive it killed your intrest because you could not afford or it took too long to get enough credits just to get a better Jedi Robe... Come on Dev's,,, bring the darn expences down & put more fun factor in this game by allowing all the goods to be much less expensive... You may be worried about credit farming going on. I know this is why you banned accounts in the past cuz you thought some people were doing this. I read the past post's here about what happen, & I realize your concern, but we deserve to have more fun in this game by being able to buy what we want at more reasonable prices. This idea leads to another tease for F2P players.. Let them have the overall expense, & lower the prices on all Items for paying Subs. Ahhh,, Yes,, think it about it...This ought to get more people to want to pay for the rewards we should get for paying for it...Remember to give your Paying Subs free items like I suggest.. The best dam Armor & Weapons you can get in the game.. Let it be done with added Quests for lvl 50's. We,, that are already lvl 50 need more Quests like this to keep the intrest going. Your going to have to do way better then repeatable daily's. Players are getting bored of the repeatable daily's already, this includes me,& with that my intrest to continue playing this game is falling FAST!! You've got to do something soon about keeping the intrest up by adding more lvl 50 quests for free rewards for paying Subs only....All this,& more should be part of the direction you are heading into. I can only hope you read this, & make it so, Mr. Dev... Thank you.
  9. I"d like to see a waypoint for the nearest Starport on all maps. On other maps, I dont see a waypoint indication for the nearest Starport, & I'm lost on how to get back to it, & I'm forced to use my emg fleet pass. In SWG, all we had to do was type in the command /find starport. A waypoint arrow would then appear on screen showing direction & distance. I think the idea of making sure we have the nearest Starpoint waypoint be seen on all maps would really be great.
  10. I was a 7year Vet in SWG, & the Space Dogfighting combat was awesome, because we we able to re-map any flightstick button or movement we had to get the action we needed, & we were able to fly like as if we were truly in the cockpit, using a flightstick of our choice. I'd like to see this realtime dogfighting combat in TOR. Never mind this move your mouse rail type Disney World ride we have now. Include button re-mapping for a flight stick,& let us fly by the seat of our pants, so it feels more realistic. I loved the Space dogfighting in SWG. TOR space combat, doesn't even come close. This is truely a disappointment in TOR, & should be changed. I'm sure that some may like the rail type flight we have now,, so just give us the ability to add & program our flightstcks. I'm sure this will make Dogfighting more awesome for those that prefer more of a real feel to our Dogfighting style.
  11. I have noticed since Beta testing, that you can only turn on one Location Icon at a time on the world map. Example= If you have vendor location icons turned on, & you want to see where the trainer is, when you turn the trainer location icon on, the vendor location icon goes out. I'm wondering why cant we turn on all locaton icons if we wanted to? It would be great if we could see whatever locations we want, be able to turn on 1, 2,3 or more,, or all of them. Here's the best part. I sent in a bug report via in game help. I can understand why I got this responce. "We have investigated your bug report & replying to you, that this is not a bug, this is working as designed". Ok,, my question is why? I feel we should be able to turn on as many location icons we want to see on the world map. I think it would be great. I dont understand why not.
  12. I also think it would be awesome if we could ride our Tauntaun. I mean, what sence does it make to just have it follow you around totally worthless? Looking at you, for what? Watching you & not doing a dam thing. I think it would have been real cute if it turned out to be a tank as a surprize with the abilty to attack! How? Perhaps bite the legs of the enemy like a well trained attack Dog, lol. Not a bad idea, lol. If we cant ride it, if it grows big enough for it to be a mount it remains worthless. I see some have already replied "Riding it in this game will never happen". Well,if we can't, then shame on the mess. We had a few mounts we could ride in SWG & it was fun. I always enjoyed using my Jet pack too. It was awesome for traveling around the Lava planet we all remember as Mustafar. The Jet pack, Lava Sciff, were my favorate items to use to cross Lava. I think the Jet pack was the fasted way to fly over Lava. Always fun I don't understand why the Dev's would not be able to give us mounts to ride if we wish. I always talk about adding more fun factor in this game. Where is it? Hello? Do you hear me Mr. Dev? No,, I'm not trying to be a wise Guy here. You asked us for feedback & I'm taking the time & giving it to you, with hopes that you read everyone's post's & continue to improve this game, unless you just don't care about continuing to loose revenue. The choice is yours Mr.Dev, read it all, make the improvements, or weep as we walk over to much better MMORPG's. TOR does have some Awesome things about it. One thing I must complain about is the lousey space combat. OMG!, you got to be kidding me!, putting our ship control on a rail like ride in Disney World!! ? SWG had the option of letting us program our Flight Sticks & give us real time control & flying ability to make us really feel like we are in the Cockpit & flying by the seat of our pants! That's Dog fighting in my opinion. What happen here? You call this Dog fighting Combat? "Oh, I'm afraid, You have already lost, young Skywalker !" You've got to be kidding me ! SWG has this game beaten to a pulp in these areas. Now, I've heard that the Droid mini game was a joke? It was stated as being part of update 1.2. Now I hear it was a joke? Well now, it looks like the joke is on you Mr. Dev. What's wrong? Cant program it? Then why the hipe? Why the lie? The added Droid mini game that was to be added in update 1.2 was a lie? That's what i hear from other game players & if true, must be, cuz I don't see any option for it, You, Mr.Dev, should be ashamed to give us hipe & false promise like this, it is false advertiseing at it's best! I know, I'll prob get a reply from someone saying, Look Man, you don't like the game, Don't play it! That's not the point. My point is, This game has some serious flaws that really could use some serious impovements in my opinion. I think I'm not only speaking for myself, but others who may just agree with me here. I hope it's true that the Dev's read this suggestion box & take our ideas & feelings into serious consideration, & go with it, if they really intend to keep me & many others interested in continuing to play this game. With all due respects to the Dev's this is what I see & feel.
  13. Before I pick on the negatives, I'd like to thank the Dev's for the really great new content & hard work I can only imagine on the Lagacy story line & programing done. I've read the reports on accounts that were banned for some who went to Ilum at early levels to treasure hunt or whatever. I haven't been there yet in fear of getting banned myself. I feel it was BW's fault for not making sure you could not get to Ilum if you we're less then lvl 40. It should have been locked to any Charactors less then lvl 40. I can understand now why almost everything in this game is so expensive. I think it's to try & eliminate the possibility of credit farming. I purchased a speeder for 55K before 1.2. Little did I know that after update 1.2, that same speeder is now 225K. Wow!! how unreal this is in my opinion to raise the price this high. But I guess BW has got to do this to keep possible credit farming down, if it is happening. I complained about having to wait till lvl 25 in order to get a speeder & lvl 1 rider. But the overall expence to get to rider 2 & 3 is a turn off to me. I had suggested I felt we should have had our speeders at lvl 15, just before or after we got our Ships. Having to walk & even after getting sprint, I was falling asleep at my keyboard in game. I know e got Taxi's to take us places, but even so, there is alot of ground to be covered on foot. This drawback is going to keep me from making new charactors in the future, & this may even make me think about cancelling my sub, due to the boredom of not being able to get around as fast as I would like to. In SWG we got speeders at lvl 1, & there was no speed limit. It's true other speeder models were faster, but all you needed were the credits to buy the parts, & a Crafter to craft it for you. In TOR with the right skills you can make speeders, but you cant sell them. I'm not even sure you can give them away as a gift to players on your side. This is a turn off. I've read in 1.2 notes that our Legacy toons will get speeders at lvl 10. This I must say is a BIG Plus. I just wish this would happen in the future when we make new toons. I think it would be great, not to have to wait till lvl 25. I think all new toons made should get speeders at lvl 10 as long as this is going to happen for Lagacy toons. One thing I really wish BW would have done with this game is give us a game play mode like I see in many games for "Easy/Moderate/Hard" game play. This I think would have really made this game even greater so we could solo this game easier if we wanted to, by allwing us to control the enemy more with a mode option like this. I have played many games with "Easy/Moderate/Hard" mode options & just find them more fun to play for me. I must admit I cant stand a game that is so hard you cant play it alone. I know we can invite friends on our sides in TOR to help out with the mad crazy Quests & Flashpoints, & at least thats a plus. Thank you. My thoughts & feelings here is only feedback on what I think would make this game more enjoyable.
  14. I think the game is somewhat well balanced. Some say it's to easy. That depends in my opinion, if you play it alone or just try to wiz thru it with some friends. If the game was really hard to the point where you always needed more people to get things done, I prob wouldn't play it. I don't like games that are so dam hard you cant get anything done alone, so this is why I feel it's more well balanced. I like the idea that I can get alot of Heroic 2+ quests done alone with just my companion. The Things I dont like about this game are the crazy prices for everything you want & need. This was the same problem with SWG. Everything too dam expensive. Example. 40k for speeder 1 training. 5K for your 1st extra inventory row, then 20K for the next. 55K for some lvl 3 rider speeders ect. 210K for rider 2 training, dont know how much for lvl 3 yet, I'll take a guess, 1million??? the same price for VIP accsess for those that didn't by the collectors edition.. Come on Dev's,, what are you thinking here??? Yes,, one thing this game needs is more fun factor. I won't be surprized if they change the current top lvl 50 to 90 or higher, just like they did in WOW, just to keep us busy & the crying down a bit.. Not being able to get a speeder till lvl 25 & then it's 48K for lvl 1 rider & a lvl 1 speeder. IN SWG you got a speeder 1st day, right away if you knew what NPC to go to, & It was free once you did the quest & found all the parts,, Fun stuff .. This game,,, where's the fun? Showing people how good you are in PVP cuz you got something to prove to the world? You wizzed right thru this game to get to lvl 50 for that & now you cry cuz you got nothing to do? How about make another charactor & do it again.. Guess not,I see how the quest lines go for both sides, & that can become boring after a while. I'll admit I fell asleep 3X while roaming thru the desert 40 days & nights cuz you dont get the speeder till lvl 25. Then it dont go fast enough for ya.. LOL.. Yes,, Not enough fun factor in this game. I've been reading the forums. People want to know what Bio Ware is going to do about the unbalanced sides on some servers now? Guess some people have already cancelled thier sub's huh? Yep,, I'd say Bio Ware better read these posts & make some changes real quick by listening to the fan base. Unless they think they can sit on thier duffs while the fan base continues to dwindle down... Wake up Boys !! The coffee break was over last month.
  15. Space combat? You've got to be kidding.. In SWG at least we were able to use our flight/Joy sticks, & We were able to map out our button commands. With a flight stick I felt like I was more in the cockpit of a Jedi fighter or whatever I was flying. I like flying with a flight stick, never mind the on track limited type control with a simple mouse. This don't even come close to feeling like your sitting in the cockpit & flying by the seat of your pants, nor does it give you the feeling of freedom to dog fight the way we did in SWG. I'm really surprized we can't use a flight stick in this game & have more freedom of movement & better dog fights. I like feeling I'm really in my bird, you know. Give us dog fighting the way it should be, & yes some space PVP, like in SWG where we can get into dog fighting somewhere in deep space with missile locking affects & so on. What we got in this game is horrible. I have more realistic air combat in other games available. I was really looking foward to being able to get on somebodys six & launching a missile & watching the other bird explode in a burst of flames like in SWG. The space combat in this game needs alot of work for it to make me happy. How about you? What you think? There is a link available to send your comments directly to the Dev's. Doing it here will prob get us nowhere. What we need to do is email the Dev's with all thoughts, feelings, ideas, ect. Maybe they will listen or ignore us. Well, if they do ignore us, then they eventually suffer from loss of revenue as servers continue to loose population. This is already happening. What does that tell you? This game is still new, but the Dev's had best listen to paying customers or we're done. I have a feeling we will see a max level change from 50 to 90 or better. Just as they did in WOW. With all the people who are complaining already about having nothing to do at lvl 50. I see it comming if the Dev's are smart & want to add more life to this game. Who knows, we'll see.
