They dont care they'll whine and moan regardless. They need something to occupy their time since they aren't actually playing the game lol >.> But I love this actually. Another nice tiny bit of polish to add on to the game. And this is the first game I've personally seen have a customizable "Cooldown" appearance.

I'm not saying critique is bad. In fact it's absolutely necessary for any MMO to thrive. But the way in which most people do it could certainly use some improvement. Most just spew out their displeasure while offering nothing back, nothing in return that could possibly help alleviate problems of any kind and serve only to clog up the forums with pure hatred.

So your saying we cant be happy with it's strengths while still acknowledging it's problems and also acknowledging it will take time to fix them and in the meantime actually ENJOY the game? Instead of simply stewing on the forums like these problems are permanent and can never get fixed in any way while bashing BW constantly and unnecessarily even though they are indeed working to fix things?

No I wasn't calling you a hater actually, that was aimed at the actual ones. I guess I didn't word that well enough. I'm not saying I am bashing every single person that doesn't agree with me. A lot of the people I've seen pointing out problems may be passionate but they at least make Valid arguments and reasons as to why they believe what they do and such and such, like you. I was talking about the people who do NOT provide any kind of constructive criticism. Or anything constructive at all. The people who simply post just to bash the Dev's or the people who dont bash along with them. THOSE are the people I cant stand. The ones who know only the bad parts of life and the only time they will ever praise something is if it is to spite another thing they hate more.

It would seem like they care if they instead posted CONSTRUCTIVE posts instead of just flaming every single thing the Dev's fix/post/do in a wave of insults and crappy grammar. Yea the game has problems, we know that, but the haters are acting like it's the complete and total end of the world. And yes, compared to past MMO's, this one's launch has been exceptionally smooth in comparison. So, yes, they did at least learn SOMETHING from past MMO experiences, which even that is more then the Hater's would give them credit for.

Haters gonna Hate AMIRITE? Thats all they ever gonna do because thats all they can do. Also +9001 I think it's great that they are fixing the bugs. And despite what every single needlessly-hateful person on these forums has to say, they ARE fixing them. They just dont like not having something to hate about. Keep up the good work Bioware and dont listen to the Peanut Gallery. The people who actually matter know your doing what your suppose to be.

I have to admit the most annoying thing I've ever encountered is someone running outside range when I am healing. Granted in places like PVP it's sometimes unavoidable but still, it's nice when they dont . . .

I use Ashara constantly. I know some may argue Andron does better damage and Khem can tank better . . . but I just plain think she's adorable. I like Togruta lol. And watching her force leap into battle with twin sabers blazing always makes me feel great. Especially when she jumps over my character from behind to do it. Makes for an epic Point of View shot lol. EDIT: Besides, she's not too bad. She does decent damage and since I have a tendency to load her up with Endurance stuff she's not too bad as a tank either.

I knew Bioware would handle this properly. I told people that, they didn't listen. Sure some people wont ever accept it as truth even as it's laid out right here, but hey, haters gonna hate. Thats why they are haters. Good going Bioware excellent customer service as usual.

Looks great to me! And Customizable UI is something I dont see often in games in depth like that.

What about that "Instancing" thing? Could make a seperate, PVP-ized version of it specifically for Ilum to work for the population cap (And of course separate caps for each faction per instance). Also, and I dont generally like saying this even if it is true . . . but even if they dont do the rollbacks, even if they just let this go without rolling back who exploited the Valor gains and stuff and exploited what was essentially a bug in the game to spawn camp . . . well PVP Gear or not the PVP will still even itself out eventually once the exploit is fixed. Imp players who farmed and exploited their valor will quit due to boredom or Bawing or just plain butthurt, eventually the Pub's will start fighting back on the slowly-becoming-more-even playing field, slowly at first and gaining momentum perhaps (Because if Star Wars history has told us anything it's that the Republic is resilient if nothing else), they get more gear, more valor, and eventually become even with the "Depleted" Imp's. It happens in all games, PVP gear balances itself out. At first you have the outliers, then then others start catching up and making it the standard. And quite frankly most people dont get the concept that there ARE people this wont affect, like non-PVPers. Sure the PVP-oriented will bash anything PVE related but they are also the ones raging over this and making most of the fuss. So what people need to realize is that eventually things will balance out again, either through the Developer's hand or naturally like any other MMO game.

Well . . . I think you just did my work for me there. I'm not saying Bioware hasn't screwed up to some degree but to think that this is irreparable is more then jumping the gun. They are simple fire-starters that love jumping down other's throats because it makes them think they are worth anything. But the fact of the matter is perhaps they DID fix this in the Test patch at the last minute after everyone had been complaining about it. But the Live Servers are not the same as the Test Servers. You can try and make them exactly the same in every respect but it wont happen, there will always be differences for any game this large between the Test and the Live. Most notably the amount of people and the fact the Test Servers are sometimes coded differently to allow them to be, well, TEST Servers. If you fail to realize that then perhaps even if my mind IS baked, it still works better then yours.

Then please, list that, endow us all with this irony you failed to cite in that post. You go make an MMO of this scale. And make it absolutely perfect with no hitches at all and no problems what-so-ever to speak of, make every single person of the millions that play it happy and make sure they never have any need to complain at all. Go on, since it's so simple and easy, right?

I like how people just automatically jump on this reletively easy-to-fix thing like it's the !@#$ing Armaggeddon. The people farming those poor Pubs (Or the Reverse if the Server is backwards lol) likely KNOW they are exploiting a faulty Patch Mechanic so I dont think we should give a crap about how they'd feel about a rollback after Bioware takes some time to consider it. I mean, it's not like they can just fix this relatively simple little thing if you just give them time right? NOPE the whole world is gonna end, baw baw cry cry etc. /sarcasm Seriously people, Bioware isn't stupid, despite what your baked little minds process them as. Anyone who's worked in technological-based companies knows you cant rush these things or you risk causing bigger problems.

They could perhaps use powerful NPC soldiers to even the balances out for either side, if one side outnumbers the other. As in, for example, if there is 10 Republics and 20 Imp's then give the Pub's 10 additional NPC soldiers. I think I've seen a game or two that used a similar tactic to decent effect . . .
