For the Benefit of the community! I am not sure why Bioware is very sensitive to the moderation issue in regards to servers. I am sure even in the presence of trolls and flamers the community can still overall benefit from server forums.

Yeah for an MMO the PvP is really really great. Hope Bioware focuses on improving it more in upcoming patches, but for now I am very satisfied.

If you had fun doing it, that's a reward by itself.

Bioware did not include the combat log for the betterment of the community.

Its an amazing feature that Bioware conveniently left out while copying just about everything else from wow.

Or leave for a game where the developer actually listens to its playerbase. Hey, if Bioware doesn't want my $15 I know many people that do (No I dont mean WoW, I am done with that game although dual-spec was an awesome feature there)

Yeah most people do not realize it will actually benefit the community. If a group needs tanks or healers a dual-specced person can just respec to fill the role. How someone does not prefer that to waiting 1 hour for an actual tank or healer to log boggles my mind.

SWG for the crafting,housing and the community interaction. SWTOR for the quests, combat and leveling system. I miss just hanging around in the lively city just as bestine or naboo where people are randomly chilling in cantinas as part of the experience rather then waiting for a group to form. I however didn't like the combat system or the class balance at all, defense stacking and mindfire pikes sucked.

Awesome, so its coming.

Sounds like a terrible excuse to be honest.

I agree in random PUGs some kid talking about dps meters is lame, but its important for established guilds tackling end game content.

Heh I played WoW for many years, I know what I am talking about. Your primary logic of "WoW only added dual-spec cause their Talent System failed/doesn't work" is completely wrong. If You have your WoW account still active, post this in the general discussiont or whatever in WoW forums. You will get laughed at. I agree though it isn't Necessary, just convenient. But what you said is completely wrong. FULL STOP.

So 10000 people running around with the same companion isn't exactly a story breaking element for you, but someone changing a talent tree is? ok.

Nope, you have been, Even if what you say its true, its totally irrelevant, SWTOR uses the SAME STYLE, and in many cases, THE SAME TALENT as WoW, so as long as they keep the same style, dual spec will greatly be beneficial. And yes, you have been wrong about this..a third time now.

I assume many potential subscribers are using a wait and see approach. I think despite a few shortcomings its a good game and as word of mouth spreads and the professional reviews come up, more people will join.

I think your post is very narrow-minded, there are many people in their mid-late 30s with families who love star wars and don't have time to play more then 5 hours a week and who would benefit greatly from a looking for dungeon tool. But you want everyone to join a guild and know the birthdays of everyone they group with....lol.

You forgot server specific sections in the forums.

Umm, no, that is not at all the reason they added it. And SWTOR talent system is similar, separate trees for separate roles, your point?

Keybindings and common awareness are hard traits.

I doubt most of the nerds who play this game will agree with dual spec, even though its a convenient feature, cause its too much like WoW. Same reason they do not want LFD.

Yep, I also feel Bioware with their Talent could have done alot better, they took the safe bet and copied wow mostly. I am still enjoying the game, just wish they took an innovative and risky approach, but from a strategic business viewpoint, I dont blame them.

Then they won't need /1 General either...so lets remove that as well.

Still can't figure out how a SERVER ONLY LFD tool is anti-social.....

Yeah I wonder how Fatman and Swiftsure(sp?) got queues 24 hours a day, did someone brag about that being the PvP server to be or something?

Wow population was in the highest in the months after it was introduced, and no one who left wow( I know about 30 people who quit wow, myself included) cited that as a reason. ROFL, yeah Wow was a failure, its failure dwarfs the success of whatever Bioware or lucasarts has ever done,even now.(Except Baldur's gate 2)
