Not a big fan of cartel market, but i agree with you on that. Companions are valid addition to cartel market as long as they are available via other means. EA gets their money from people that buy it with money and people that play the game for reasonable time can get it with in-game currency. Win win. p.s Why Ewok though...

Why is this a problem? Not feeling special - this is really silly. People want bowcasters, this is another event - be glad that there are events with nice gear and not only cartel market. Oh, and this is from someone with all 4 event bowcasters.

I liked JC story ,completed it long ago. Just started doing BH - got it to lvl 22 and the story does not speak to me one bit. But it is personal,you might like BH more.

I totally agree. Dynamic events would make the SWTOR world alive. There is no need to make all those events voiced and spend huge effort and game with 4 fps,2 ops ,bunch of dailies , Gree event v3 and dailies horror will get boring fast. I used to log each day for hour or 2 at least,now it is just for guild raids.

Nope, you have shown me why tiny irrelevant part of the overall score for several recent EA games is low. There were literally thousands of negative posts, you just went for strawman and selected few that seemingly prove you point. BTW, your "not to mention" part actually strengthens my point. Negative feedback was left by people that did not like the game - which makes perfect sense. This is why getting info about the product from user score (if pool of voters was large enough) makes perfect sense.

Really ? http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/mass-effect-3-citadel/user-reviews Where is the rabid hate machine? Maybe it is simply when things are done right ,people (gasp) react positively and when they are done wrong they tend to do the opposite....

Accessing and navigating Metacritic site is not hard however i see that in this case help is needed. Skyrim - user score 8.2 http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/user-reviews Bioshock : infinite - 8.7 http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/bioshock-infinite/user-reviews TWD - 8.5 http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/the-walking-dead-a-telltale-games-series/user-reviews I really can go on and bring you dozens of similar scores but this is SWTOR site and i am afraid to be force-choked by mods.

I really don't want to derail the thread further but there are plenty of extremely popular games that have overwhelmingly positive Metacritic user score.

Listening to actual user feedback is LOL? Are you among EA top management because this certainly looks like their business model. Thousands of consumers downvoted the game - look at PC ratio. Going strawman and pulling few (supposedly) random posts does not change it. Compare Skyrim user votes to ME3 ones.

I do not think that EA is certain to make bad Star Wars video games. Miracles do happen . But your link is hilarious. Look at how users rated last EA games on the very same Metacritic . As a consumer i see no reason to be happy that certain publisher gets high score only from professional reviewers but is butchered by feedback generated by actual users of its products. You think that this is positive thing??

55 HM flashpoints are fine. The problems are: there are only 4 of them. there is nothing like LI for 55 lvl people with good gear.

Yes it was worth it but they have to add 2 (or at least 1) new -as in NEW - flashpoints for 55s in near months. There is more grinding needed now and only 4 revamped fps.

I played only Reps so far, and out of those i consider Consular story the best. Smuggler storyline is the funniest but not that interesting.

You have no idea how many people are affected by that. Stop throwing empty numbers in the air.

It is broken for substantial amount of people. If YOU could not log for several days into the game you pay every month for, i am sure that your responses would have been different. And i also think that Bioware response to this issue is inadequate. On topic - those with crashing game during loading screen - change launcher icon to run in Windows XP pack 2 (or 3) mode. It worked for me.

I have Vista and have to run SWTOR with XP pack 2 (don't have pack 3 option) compatibility box checked too. Otherwise it crashes on start. Just to eliminate possible causes - do you use windowed mode and/or SWTOR unleashed?

Happened to me too,i solved it eventually by running it in windows XP 2 compatibility mode.

If you''ll ask suspicious me, after recalculations and end of 50% discount, repair prices will still be much higher then pre-1.7 and not that much lower then post 1.7. Frontal assault failed, so now we are being flanked. People will subconsciously accept that they repair cheaper only due to discount that will eventually end ,thus when it will indeed end, repair prices almost identical to ones we have right now will not cause such an outcry .

Really like the game ,but due to bugs/lack of post-50 content/extremely sloooow release of new content in general would give it only 8.

Knowing what planet we are talking about would help.
