Their hard working PvP "team" is really good! Balance has never been better and the sheer amount of PvP content is just mind boggling. PvPers are anxious to start the all new exciting SEASON 7!!!! Nobody knows what 3 classes will be the best any longer...it's all up for grabs now!!!
Their ambitious PvE "team" is hard at work as well - after the month of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, they're going to hopefully have some time to address the working as intended NiM loot issues. The hardcore raiders are eager to see how that goes! February is bound to be a killer month!!!
With both Life Day and the ever popular Rakgoul event in full swing now, players have vast amounts of exciting things to do.
Communication has never been better and players are coming back in droves!
I ROFLED at the "Rakgoul Event in full swing" comment.
You know things are bad when TuX goes negative on BIOFAIL... he is usually defending their decisions when I have been in the forums in the past.

6. Capes No longer Clip through MOST speeders (except Cyan Gree speeder! my favorite one....of course)! A bug that has been around since Open Beta!!
-
Stupid design decisions like this (as well as many others for 4.0) are the reason Jung Ma Fleet had 17 people on it last night at 7pm Central.
Great job devs...you have successfully driven even FTP players away!

You're right, it is just a game...
Last night I purchased Elder Scrolls Online for the first time, I'm going to give it a go for the next week.
I haven't unsubbed, but I do have one eye on the exit door. The past six weeks have been a Greek tragedy of errors. Yes, it is just a game, but I don't have to play it either,
ESO is where Im going back to. At least the Devs there LISTEN to the people, provide regular feedback, and overall its a much better game (and getting better instead of worse).

ROFL.... your post made my day.....ROFL.

It's a joke. The grind should be 3 or 4 times less than what it's now. The amount of time and money one had to spend pre-4.0 to max companion affection was pretty much perfect imho. Right now it's simply ridiculous to get a companion to max rank.
But this is the END GAME content that the devs heard from all the players that they wanted!!!! Isnt it great (end sarcasm)
Everything about this "expansion" was FAIL IMHO... well except for the story which was pretty good the FIRST time. After my 4th toon Im ready to shove Koth's whinny rear out an airlock and force choke Lana for critizing my methods for saving the galaxy.
-
Oh im sure it was posted in some freaking reddit or the devblog (that I never read..don't have time), instead of being the body of the in game mail or an announcement in game.
-
Oh that's just dandy..... and where was this said "warning". With 12 toons to take through stuff I only got through about 4 of them. The rest I didn't touch as I didn't want to clog up my bankspace with them.
Yet another winning move BIOFAIL..... My sub ends this month. SERIOUSLY considering unsubbing at this point. Not just for this reason... but many others.
And NO you cant have my stuff.... I want it to disappear like my companions clothes.
-
Again making the case of why the whole "Alliance" thing needs to be LEGACY bound. Or at least Repub Legacy and Empire Legacy.
I cannot...will not....grind the whole Alliance thing on 12 toons....not gonna happen.
-
Running into the same error here since the 4.0.x patch went live.
Jesus bioware... your patches always break more stuff then they fix.
If I run the launcher 3 or 4 times it eventually connects.
-
The one bug fix that makes me LOL is we FINALLY have speeders that our capes/cloaks don't clip thru!!! Hell that has been around since Closed BETA...
Great job Biofail.... you fixed a bug that's been around since before launch.
I know the loot bug isn't a show stopper and there are bigger fish to fry...but the loot bug just annoys the hell out of me. Glad to see Im not the only one. My guildies have been messin with me and saying they haven't noticed the loot bug and everything is fine ...lol Made me think I was loosing my marbles!
-
Wow...Im all for making high level gear available in the highlighted HM OP. Gives all a chance to gear up to run NiM...
BUT....to not have guaranteed high level drops in NiM.... wow...that's just..... insanely stupid.
So...Eric..... can you pack me a bowl of what the devs are using and pass it around!
<Throws down mic, shakes head, walks off stage>

Other games of this type and just as complex don't seem to have a fractions of the issues this game has patch to patch with new issues introduced week to week ....this is just sloppy work
Hey..come one now.....
At least 95% of speeders no longer have our capes/cloaks clip thru them!!! A bug that was around in BETA TESTING pre 1.0
Glad they finally fixed it. -
This is BY FAR the most annoying bug (that has been around since SOR for cripes sakes). PLEASE fix the loot click spots so they aren't 2x2 pixels wide.
Edit: Maybe its just me, but since SOR came out trying to loot bodies is like a pixel hunting contest. I have to find a VERY small area where I can click to loot.
Anyone else see this?
-
Metrics say otherwise!
People like doing heroics over and over and over daily more then anything else.
NiM ops is so last year! The new cool thing is doing low level heroics! Only the best of the best can do heroics!
224 item rating? Pfft thats weak noob stuff! You want a true bar of skill? The best players all go for 50 affection on all companions on all their characters on all servers!
Obtaining OPS decorations doesnt show skill! The only way to show skill is to buy it off GTN- it takes true skill to purchase things off GTN then to get it from a drop!
^^^ This post wins the Post of the YEAR^^^
Love the sarcasm.... and pretty much is how I feel about this latest expansion and direction the game is going.
-
What is the point of making it so grindy, and of encouraging people to kill steal? How is that fun? How is it profitable? Who sits down and designs this and says, "yeah, that's entertaining"?
Would it kill you to just make a single event that isn't a brutal depressing grind? Would your shareholders up and quit? Would you feel like we violated some game theory principle and the gods would be angry?
"Fun" is gearing out in max PvP gear with 4 of your PvP buddies and wholloping (yes that's a word) on NON PvP geared PvE players! What a challenge we PvP geared folks have watching the PvE carebear players melt in seconds. And it is a great way to demonstrate the size of my e-peen.
Agree 100% with the OP and the quoted poster above....
-
This complete disregard for the core audience of the game, moving multiple mutually exclusive directions all at the same time and general poor design decisions without properly considering and utilizing input from the community at large is VERY much the same bad behavior that those few of us who were around for SWG from beginning to end, observed in the CU and NGE after a few short expansions.
Sony Online Entertainment didn't learn their lesson. They allowed their developers to dictate to the players what the players would like, critical feedback (be it constructive or not) was summarily stamped out by a team of moderators more interested in their next paycheck than any health of the game, and the general dumbing down and oversimplification (or poorly executed simplification in the case of crafting) as well as future promises of betterment (ala Fix crafting, NiM ops and some good stuff in February after months of snubbing the entire player base).
Thunderheart was the Eric Musco of those days, and he appeared less and less on the forums as it became very obvious people making the decisions for the overall game neither played it nor cared about anything beyond the quarterly subscriber numbers. They learned....only at the end how much they neglected their customers and did themselves a disservice.
BW needs to pull its head out, the direction they're moving of casual accessibility at the expense of mid/hard-code raiders/pvp/completionists (the core sub pool with the lowest churn) is not going to be sustainable. The new movie will absolutely bring new casual players to the game. But in a year, those players will move on to EverCrack4 or World of Pedobear and the devs will be "left with" the small quantity of raiders/pvp/completionists that only continue to pay as their subs are on autopay.

^^^this^^^ Well said.

Agree with the OP on all points and I will add:
1) The dumbing down of stats is just stupid. You have now made everything so vanilla its boring. Actually I can live with this one if (see 2)
2) The vanilla-tization of our companions. They make no difference to us now. No specific crafting skills/gather skills, no means to make them the best they can be (no longer able to use mods, enhancements, armor, hilts...etc).
3) I actually have grown attached to some of my old companions. Now to have them MIA... I get it ...its part of the story. And I actually don't mind this part. BUT to tie getting these companions back to specific playstyles..(ie you MUST PVP or PVE to get back a comp is just BAD for the playerbase).
4) The ever persistent nerfing of abilities. Enough already.... you beat everyone with the nerf bat yet Sorcs/Sages still out heal Commandos by a LONG shot.
5) and my least favorite thing you have done BIOWARE.... this GRIND... I too like the OP don't mind a grind once or twice...but I have 11 Alts.... There is no way on gods green earth I will do this grind with all of them. Heck I couldn't even get through SOR with all of them....
And of course the lack of group content which is killing Guild participation at all levels......
I love SWTOR...been a day 1 subscriber. But since Rise of the Hutts came out you have been steadily become a one trick pony. Rehashing old content and expecting that to keep our attention. Just bad.... guess you on relying on the influx of new players after the movie releases to replace all the subs you are loosing from long time players.
-
Musco, after Palace and Fortress we were promised there would never be such a gap between new Ops again.
So please, just give raiders SOMETHING. Tell us the team is working on them. Please.
It's been a year since Ravagers and Temple, so tell us, what happened?
^^ This ^^ New Ops may keep me subbed. With the dumbing down of SWTOR in this new expansion (companions, stats, customizing companions) coupled with the ruining of the crafting system I am struggling to justify my sub $$$.
-
I leveled and recruited on 2 chars all companions that are available now. Few alts i got to about half way and gave up. I just cant bare it having to do this with all my alts. Alliance reputation system should have been legacy wide and we only choose what companions we want to recruit or decline. Im not even going to grind influence on alts, even my main i dont have majority companions ranked up only few that i use often for crafting or exploring world.
Agree.... this all should have been legacy. Or at least tied to faction (all pub toons tied together, all Imp toons). I have my main's influence up to 20 with all alliance members and maybe 1 companion at 25 and a few in the high teens...and I just cant grind anymore. With 10 more alts I don't think I will ever get them even this high. Heck 2 or 3 haven't even started the Rishi story line.
-
My feedback is that I am incredibly disappointed that BW is spending substantial resources to create a fluff alternate POV chapter rather than use those resources on what players want ie new operations, FPS or warzones. Heck even more main story content would be better than a HK-55 chapter.
^^This^^ so much this.
Also the dumbing down of just about everything in SWTOR has me considering the unsub button. And mandatory PvP requirements are just wrong (I like PvP in other games, just not this one). Day 1 player, close beta tester as well.
Too many new games out there, too many new MMOs (my Elderscrolls account is crying for attention anyway).
Anyway...flame away to show the power of your epeen.
-
That's all find a good.... a new companion every month for being a subscriber.... I guess we now see why BIOFAIL made all our companions Vanilla vs being customizable (in both gear and abilities).
Sorry...I would rather have the old companion system back then have a Death Star full of what I now like to call "Companion skins" being as they are all the same. Lets hope HK55 doesn't just say the same 5 lines over and over and over like the others.
-
So how is it easier now? I have maxed crew skills and companions with 20+ influence level and in over 100 rich/bountiful slicing missions I have yet to get a single adaptive circuitry? So not only did I spend hundreds of thousands of credits running missions and buying scems to max my toon, now they make it dependant on companion influence and took away some of the items I was able to craft. So now I have to continue to spend hundreds of thousands of credits to continue to run missions and spend all my data crystals to buy companion gifts to try and get enough influence to be able to slice well enough to get the resources I need! They also make me run fabrications to make sub components now, that is just an additional time suck. Ya, they made things easier alright!
It seems like Biofail wants to force players to now participate in Conquest (as worthless as it is...ohhh goodie my guild conquers all worlds and I get an Achievement!!! Wow thanks...about as fun as getting underwear for Christmas) so that you can get Jawa Junk to buy your rare (purple) crafting mats like adaptive circuits and such.
-
Yep...welcome to the Vanilla-tization of the game. So much fun and choice. Now your companions are just skins for DPS, Heals, or tank....
Glad they finally fixed it.
Any good guides for Pyromech/Powertech
in Commando / Mercenary
Posted
I have played a Pyro since day 1.... its the class I wanted to play and have stuck by even after BIOFAIL has nerfed them to hell and back.
Has anyone made a Pyro guide yet for 4.0? Or is it so bad no one cares?
Same on my Pub Field Medic..... I have yet to see a decent guide on him.
