They didnt listen to anybody in beta. They just copied WoW. I have written a lot of why what they are doing isnt good and will kick em in the hiney, pretty much in the lines of what article says, to forget hardcores and self-proclaimed "MMOers" but nothing came out of it. Now they are like fish on land, all squiggling and water is far far away, theres a small chance they will make it but...it isnt likely since they STILL listen to the hardcores. Another thing i said is that this generation of devs is just too old and too deep into "traditional ways" and (from all the evidence) it seems thats hardly to change. Oh, and in case of WoW, BLizzard said that taking ultra hardcores from EQ to help design vanilla endgame was a mistake and that if they started from scratch they wouldnt do it again.

Same here, only unsubbed even longer. Gave them a chance, gave them second chance, and i dont give third chances so when sub runs out - BB SWTOR. Read what you quoted again ,again and again. Maybe eventually sits where it should rofl

I want new content, even if its some crappy event. At least to show they are actually producing something since all we got till now was done long ago.

Wow insults start flying, sorry i pointed point out your selective reading and strawman. And you STILL havent figured it out, do you really miss words like that when you read, i find it fascinating.

Thats because i dont deal with peoples selective reading and strawmans.

Selective reading and strawman is strong with this one. You knw, if you actually read the post and try to make non - exisitng points in it (things that you fabricated as strawman) then it will make sense to you like it does to everyone else. Now you even know what strawman means. Ill leave you to it.

Point is that when you do 50% less damage, have 60% HP, take 30% more damage its hard not to notice. Many people refer that against bads it doesnt matter that much. But wth does that matter? If your only defence is "well you at least dont suck that much against bads". Yeah, well, even if you are skilled gear noob it isnt really anything to look forward to. And, of course, some classes/specs are much more gear dependant than others and in some classes you will suck with recruit gear no matter what (well, with some classes you will suck no matter what ) Thats why they need to intrduce player ratings and matchmaking with ratings, not gear. In any competitve game i participated matchmaking was made based on ratings, and i played against evenly skilled (+geared in this case) opponents. Never ever was the goal of matchmaking to pit me, with high rating, with bunch of people with low rating because its clear NPE for both sides.

Theres goes another PvEer because of whom PvP was fudged since day 1.

Oh my gosh, selective reading IS your specialty. Ans your strawman...is very poor.

So, is selective reading your specialty or just side activity? AND if i was actually interested in that (PART of what you bolded) i WOULD be playing Rift since its much much better. And will always be.

Yah, not to mention RIft had merges/free servers transfers not long after launch, as soon as there was need for it. I must admit, Rift was best example of how launch and post launch stuff has to be dealt with, their anticipation/reaction/timely provided solutions to problems are pure contrast to SWTOR. Now, dont make mistake, i think RIft is not a good game (lackluster story/world, focus on raid for gear or die endgame, Rifts became boring too fast because every one was same...), but the way they actually handled the game during launch/post launch was admirable and shoud be put as example in textbooks. And EA should read those textbooks. And i must admit, when i played RIft in few open betas i took quite a few things for granted (basic functionaliy) but SWTOR has proven its way away fom granted.

The state of that hasnt improved much. Since most of players...play for free

Post exact amount of CONTENT released pls, otherwise youre just trolling.

You will unsub? Woo-hoo, dont let the door hit you on your way out. You have mistaken "hardcore" for "bad" so just insert BADS in your statement and thats it

I doubt it has mission dropboxes like SWTOR.

Nope, people would just quit faster since you would have to decide withing first minute how its going to go or just afk for rest of the WZ. And people would quit Huttball a lot more since theres no node to afk at, or, even worse, help other team score so it goes faster. As it is now you can at least give team a chance for few minutes and then quit if it really sucks. Weve done it several times back when we were playing as a premade, we screwed around a bit too much and then when it mattered we took all 3 turrets and won. It didnt happen often (screwing around of course) but we had our days. And, a funny thing, pretty much nobody ever quitted on us, mostly because we were somewhat known. But yah, not really example you wanted lol ---------------------------------- And yes, option not to backfill, agreed with OP. Fixing the issue itself >>>>>>>>>>than dealing with symptoms. When they fix PvP itself, symptoms will be gone or radically reduced.

How about you whine about issues that actually matter? First things first bro. From big issues to small ones. And maraudeds need fixing from launch, thats a heck of lot of time with issue unattended.

How about they fix most glaring issue first - marauders. Then they can concentrate on less important stuff like bubble stun.

So is whole marauder class since launch. And ironically its been buffed few times in meantine. And? Funny that you dont mention: giving any class i win buttons= NOT FINE Of course, that would mean that youd have to L2P.

And....which part of "SWTOR is NOT F2P" you dont understand rofl Its just glorified free trial.

They should have concentrated a lot more on class stories (and the audience they already had instead of pipe dream of taking on WoW), have much bigger class stories and way less generic crap quests. I have many friends who were loyal customers ( since Baldurs Gate days) of BW and didnt touch SWTOR with a pole because its just WoW clone and even class stories are quite bland (yeah yeah, best in MMO but far far away from best RPGs out there). Sad thing is they are now moving completely to generic MMO crap quests, mission dropboxes and failed raid for gear endgame. And, TBH, other MMOs do it much better, they are dropping their strenght and embracing their weakness, dont really see which genious in EA thought its a good idea. Anyway, BW lost majority of its fanbase since DA2 onwards, SWTOR was just finger in the eye by EA. RIP Bioware, it was a good run and we still have BG

Oh yea, WAR is such successful game that its should be example for all other games

The only thing that needs to be implemented is NOT to be put in the SAME WZ when you requeue after leaving. I left for a REASON rofl

phone the dictionary?

Everyone agrees that PvP is bad and needs to be fixed.
