I can't abandon quests either. This button should NEVER be grayed out. EVER.

"The only interesting aspect of this game is the story line and voice over. This would be a benefit except it evidently costs over 100 million and 4 years to make each time while only taking about a month to go through." That sums it up nicely

OP - very well said. Sadly, they missed an opportunity based on my first impression. Had they simply looked at current successful MMOs and take the what players like from them, like UI/combat/LFG/Instance-PVE play, and added their own twist (Story / SW brand etc..) we all might be looking to invest time and money into this long term I'm not bailing but ATM LVL 50 is laughable, FPs are buggy - real buggy, PVP is not worth my time. I love the story lines, but not much more ATM. I hate to say it too, I wanted to play this for a long time.

I need this too............

I was wondering why my hood was non showing... had I known this I would have rolled a diff race... Bioware please give back our hood, it looks really really crappy w/o it

Whats "AA support" ?

Yes, my GF plays and hates the options she has not to mention the G rated end romance scans. The "PG rated" Bio Ware Mass Affect type thing she and I were anticipating.

OP - All valid points Lets hope they address a few of these. I too am seeing less and less people already in the zones I am in, sad... went from 100+ consistently to <50 the past several days at most times. In the end losing SUBs may get changes done but in thsi industry first impressions are hard to overcome.

Nice post, what are the odds they can fix 80% of this list with out having to re code the entire game. Alot of this stuff should have been baked into the original code. I mean, if they looked at other MMOs many of the missing things are basic 101 online game stuff, UI, LFG system etc... 50% of the complaint posts would be gone if they put into this game teh basics I think. I like the game, I wont go back to WOW or Rift but taking a few things form those games and put them in this one and we might have a winner. I love Rifts UI they got that right day 1 it seems SWTOR is years behind them on that front.

This is what I find the case also. It be nice to be able to use a different one sometimes but even the tanks get owned so fast and don't really help - unless they are weaker lower levels bu then whats the use I can mow them down with out any help :-/

Has anyone used a companion consistently other than Mako? I have tried all of them and given them (made) comparable gear. I find non of them are worth using while questing other than Mako, if Mako is not out I’m spam healing a mediocre DPS or spam healing a crapy tank until my companion is dead then I’m soloing stuff. It takes longer and much more stressful. Maybe it changes at lvl 50 (im lvl 48 now) but not sure why they would add other companions who are not really much use other than crafting? Thanks

I do like this game so far, despite a lot of challenges that have been mentioned in these forums. The one part of the game I like(ed) but nowI feel is broken is the companion interaction. I have a lvl 47 and also started a few alts (18/15) to experience the story line and companion interaction. The disappointment for me is this interaction with my companion is nonexistent then BAM 6-8 conversations then 10 levels of nothing… I really wish they would have let the companion interaction be more frequent and not only on the ship for 8 conversations then null for 10 levels, its sort of lost its effectiveness for me in its current state. I am hoping they fix this, and I plan to give the game a fair chance but this along with many other challenges that have been mentioned need to be addressed.
