So you think there is nothing wrong with people huddle at the emergency fleet pass like some kind of sick flash mob in order to "participate"? (by going afk mostly) Sorry, that was a side effect of this they didn't anticipate and shows how events like this can spawn "abuse" that some will find distasteful. As for those who cry out against the event and mention an event in the "game that shall not be named", don't. I was there and that event allowed open PVP by getting infected, allowing greifing of not only every NPC (flight points, auction house and bank) but also ganking of spawn points where people were rolling brand new characters. Permitting the killing of a new lvl 1 character goes behind stupid and this event doesn't even come up to that level. One legitimate gripe I've heard is the impact on PVP for this. I could see having your Hutt Ball carrier explode would be intrusive in the game you are trying to play. My experience is, the only time I've even seen infected people is when I used the emergency fleet pass. I ran out of the crowd (as fast as lag would permit me) and wasn't infected. At no other time have I seen anyone else infected in hours of play and it has in no way hampered my ability to play. Frankly I wonder what the others who say they are impacted have been doing. Instead of fleet pass, just use your ship, sure its a few more minutes but guess what, you miss the crowd of afk'ers. Besides, why do you need to go to the fleet? They tell you to avoid "heavily populated areas don't they? Frankly both sides make me want to quit the game, there is no reason for the whining and there is no reason to bash the whiners. I'm pretty disgusted with this community at the moment.

I saw this thread when it was on its second extension. So I logged in to my lvl 40 character on Hoth - played for two hours. Didn't see anyone infected, no one tried to infect me. Of course there were only 8 people on the planet, I didn't see anyone! So I logged to a lvl 15 character on Corresent, plenty of people running around, doing the auction house and quests. Never got infected, didn't see anyone who was infected or anyone complaining in chat. Just saying, it seems like people who want to avoid the plague could do it pretty easy. My experience has been I'd have to go out of my way and stop questing to get infected.

MMO players include jerks who ruin it for all http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4063007781 MMO players include greedy people who want and want http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4062877237 MMO players include people who cheat to win http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1074378050 So don't blame the people who write the games, the players are the problem and that forces them to make the games the way they are. If a MMO that's been around for 7+ years still has issues with players abusing the system, do you expect a brand new MMO to do better?

Because people will pull things like this http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4038616848

Lets look at a bit more of the earnings statement, anything can cause confusion when taken out of context. Here is what I read in the link ---------------------- --Star Wars: The Old Republic Has More Than 1.7 Million Active Subscribers Electronic Arts Inc. /quotes/zigman/71356/quotes/nls/ea EA +4.61% today announced preliminary financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011. ---------------------- So they state this is the results for the end of the year, December 31st, 2011. At that time they had 1.7 million active subscribers. They would not put in numbers for another time period because that will be for the next earnings statement at the end of the first quarter. If it didn't happen by Dec 31st you have to say things like "projected" or "anticipated" to differentiate the numbers from the facts you are reporting in the earnings statement. They don't say they have 1.7 million as of the time they released their statement, I don't know who tossed in the word "current" but all a company can do is report point in time information. IE as of this date, this is what we have sold and how many are subscribed. That date was December 31st. Given that, 1.7 million out of 2 million means most people had to have a subscription in order to play their 30 days "free" and had not cancled that subscription before Dec 31st. This gives us no information on how many are still subscribed after the 30 days were up or are subscribed today, or even how many are still playing today.

Did you link a new profile to the exe for swtor? Make sure you linked the game exe and not the launcher exe. I did that and have had no issues with my G13 since I set it up.

That bucket of bolts and bad programming called my crew FAT! Tearing out his voice box is the least we should be able to do!

Are you by chance a smuggler? Seems like the smuggler screens cause all kinds of problems with the "cannot see target" and well as other issues As for the stuck companion, usually I have to cross the doorway, dismiss them and resummon them on the other side if they won't cross over. Its like there is a barrier there for the companion.

I was tempted to post it in the smuggler section, in the bug reports and general - but figured I'd get in trouble for spamming Thanks for confirming it is a problem!

Thanks, glad to know I wasn't the only one having issues with that quest instance. I think it shows the lack of beta testing on the high end content to ensure it was bug free and tuned correctly for all players. I was actually lucky enough to get to the escape pod and activate it, so saw the final cinematic. That was fun to see at least. Still, what it took to get to that point was painful to say the least.

What should have been an exciting climax to my smuggler class quest line was instead an exercise in frustration as I attempted to complete it and had issue after issue with "Cannot see target" as I attempted to complete this quest. I submitted an in game ticket for this to ensure it was brought to Biowares attention. There is nothing they can do for me, I was able to complete it, but I hope they can fix it before others have to suffer through this. If any other smugglers have had issues with this quest, please speak up. If you didn't have such issues, I'm happy for you and glad you didn't get the bug fest I ran into.

Common, you looked at my post! At least say Hi!

To address the issue with Faction imbalance in Ilum I suggest the following: Limit equal numbers of each faction into Ilum at any one time Limit the time anyone can spend in Ilum if they are part of the faction with more people waiting to get in Queue up the faction that has more people waiting and offer them the option to play a new game called King Hutt while they wait to get into Ilum or do other quests/pvp while they wait for Ilum to open up. King Hutt: New game that is an all out free-for all. Sort of a cross betweek King of the Hill and a wrestling "King of the Ring" The game starts with 10 players on top of a piller, with no guard rails on it. The goal is to be the last person standing on the pillar at the end. Last person standing gets some random prize for being the King Hutt. Valor points awarded for each "kill" actually killing an opponent or blowing them off the pillar counts as a kill.

I was hoping this was a rant against the Elevator Mob's that result in many deaths and wasting of time and hope the Dev's would be kind and remove them from the game.

Server Forum's is a great idea! One additional request to make it even better Have seperate ones for Republic and Empire
