Interdependancy seems to be out in MMOs. Everyone needs to be able to get what he wants on his own. God beware you'd have to INTERACT with people other than sticking a lightsaber into them! Another question is: how to include all crafting classes? Else everyone and his dog will go cybertech if it's the only profession good for high-end stuff everyone wants

I thought our solution to faction imbalances in warzones and the resulting queue times for one side is Huttball... guess why Imps get Huttball 90% of the time against other Imps Cross Server sucks. People can behave like complete a******s as they know they'll never see the people in that match again. No thanks. Server LFG, OK. The idiots will sort themselves out as noone groups with them anymore.

I checked out SWG after the NGE again when they offered a few free days. All planets were completely plastered with houses outside the forbidden zones around the NPC cities. No wilderness whatsoever. Sucked. Your house is your ship in TOR. Shame you can't decorate it

The reason being the destroyer turrets you need to kill before entering that rift between the asteroids. With the 80 missile upgrade it's really easy again.

Sounds like WAR when I played it and that was actually the reason I quit. No one wanted to defend keeps as it was way better to trade. Even when Defenders got rewarded for holding a keep you had to let the other side take something after a while or they'd disperse as THEY got no rewards and thus open PVP ended for at least some hours in that tier. Loose/loose situation. That's what I liked about the SWG PVP... your own guild city with your own PVP base and an incentive to hold it: honor and reputation. But I guess post-WOW people need items to feel rewarded :S

Shame. Just like WOW that had monster queues at launch that disappeared after a week and then the game died horribly. Or something. And taking the forums as a measure of success is anothe indication this must be the OPs first MMO

Death from above is not instant. I got to use my jetpack to rise before smacking you in the head, you know (and that's where I am usually interrupted as it's so glaringly obvious) No idea what the equivalent of aimed shot is.

Do the story missions on Nar Shaddar and skip the rest of the missions. Had to do the same with Tatooine on the Imp side.

Where EVE shines is interaction and player driven content. All 3rd person MMOs I know about are themepark. Doesn't mean they are bad. It's just that the developers have to constantly listen to the hardcore whiners that they need more content two days after every expansion and even less hardcore players often wonder what the heck they should do in between updates as PvP is usually lackluster. Player driven content keeps people busy longer.

Eat more poop - billions of flies can't be wrong!

There were 200 people in the Fleet instance yesterday and it was already lagging badly - guess the engine just can't cope with more. I have met the grand total of one player of the opposing faction so far on a PVP server...

I also miss some features of SWG, which I'll always fondly remember in it's original state (pre-Jedi grind and pre-NGE): The resource and crafting system. I LOVED doing my resource tour twice a week to find new spots for hot resources. Absolutely awesome. As a good crafter you had a name and reputation. People travelled to your vendors to buy the really good stuff. Nowadays crafting is always bland. Anyone can do anything and everything is the same. Boooring. No levels and mixing trees of different classes. I loved my Ranger/Rifleman and my Pistoleer/Droid Engineer. I tried lots of different combos and it was fun. Just going out on hunting trips with the guild. Just random missioning and resource gathering. I put a camp down and we killed Rancors. Good times, good times.

Thanks for beta testing the endgame for us people who are slower When I am 50 it'll hopefully be fixed. Don't blame Bioware for a rushed launch, it's the big wigs at the green table who desperately wanted the christmas money to increase their bonus. Managers seem to only plan short term these days. Edit: big wigs at EA that is.

Reminds me... Does she have AA enforced via the driver control panel maybe? When I tried to ramp up things there on my old HD 5750 things started to lag, too.

I have had this with other games - game ran fine, I updated the graphics driver and suddenly had horrible video lag. Some driver versions somehow don't go well with certain games while others run fine or better with that driver. My best guess would be to try different driver versions. Sometimes sou even have to downgrade until the manufacturer fixes issues with the most recent one. For AMD there's also always the Omega drivers as an alternative.

Hope the Guy who pickend Jedikiller as his legacy name doesn't want to roll a Republic Char

Every single match of Hutt-Ball the past three days has had 8-10 inquisitors on our side and most of them are sorcs. Actually it has been the same on the republic side with the Jedi counterpart in battlegrounds when I played that side the other day. What does that tell us and what is going to happen about it? (I am not big into other classes and class balance, but usually when one class is suddenly so prominent something is awfully out of whack)

My main gripe is Feeling totally helpless as a 33 against those 50s as they seem to just shrug off CC 90% of the time. I jump into the crowd AOE pushing and they just stand there glued to the ledge pounding me into pulp. Are resistances not scaled or something? I pitty the people starting in a few weeks. Can't see anyone subscribing after playing a few warzones against all 50s.

I get flickering foliage, sheets of light in the air, strange shadows in boxes of light, low quality textures in the gear preview window. Sometimes the floor turns black or disappears after hours of play. I'd say it's somewhat borked, yep. It's all just happening occassionally but looks sloppy tbh.

1700 - nerdrage!!!

Will we see alternating maintenance times in the future then so everyone gets his share of having maintenance in the middle of the day? ^^

A business running 24/7 should have people available 24/7. How would you feel if your server went down at 7pm and wouldn't be brought up again until the next morning when the office hours of the poor employees who have lives start? Would be totally OK, right?

Well, I am often told the characters of my friends I grouped with an hour ago don't exist. So I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that

Ist wohl einfach am leichtesten so. Hab auch schon mit einem Marodeur getankt, aber da hat der Heiler Fingerkrämpfe bekommen Ganz ohne Heiler wird schwierig, ohne DD dauert es einfach alles länger. Gehen tut aber viel...

21st. On the bright side I can tank in our LotRO raid today. Guess everyone but me will be happy
