The Bio reusables should eventually become obsolete, as players level away from their benefit (like the lower level Biochem stuff....you left that stuff behind long ago). It will eventually be phased out through obsolecence.....but I didn't read how long they think that will take.

These are the same people who miss the open world PvP so they can gank noobs just coming out of the starter zone.

I have no problem having a Server versus Server Scenario, even if it means inluding both fations on one server with a ranked structure. It would appear that this scenario, which has been used before in other games, and will be in a soon-to-be-released competing title, has proven successful many times. If it is enjoyable it is viable, even though it diesn't fit the Pubs vs. Imps storyline. Huttball allows same faction, as it is considered a sport and not a storyline WZ, but even the upcoming WZ Novare Coast will allow for same faction PvP. I like the concept of a server wide battle even if it does through the story line out the window, just to keep PvP in play.

Regarding the silly stat combos being removed, I have seen this discussed, but I cannot remember where I saw it. There have been similar issues is almost every other game crafting structure, and eventually it does get cleaned up. UO had this issue, WoW had/has it (still has some goofy stuff there, like the ranged items with tank stats, or shields with ranged stats). It is a common problem, and you certainly don't want to spend time REing these things for an even fancier piece of useless junk or unsellable/unusable schematic. Just don't know when it will get fixed, because these issues do not seem to be gamebreakers.

59! That's awesome! I know I am one of the older folks here at 49, but you make me feel young again! I stood in line many times during the Summer of 1977 watching this cool new film....probably went to see it 20 times, and stood in line for hours every time, usually with my best friend Scott. Great summer! It seems like it was long, long ago in a .... ...Never mind.

It can be tough to keep the timeline straight.....this era is 3463-3641 BBY. So, many of the planets we know now well have not even been discovered, much less populated. But there are several I have seen mentioned in other articles. Here's an interesting read on the same topic from IGN... http://torwars.com/2012/02/09/ign-five-planets-the-old-republic-needs/

"No, but they should at least put some effort into it instead of this ridiculously lazy "let's just unlock some races and abilities that are already in game for other factions/classes". Quoted from above.... It is a family tree unlock. Like having Darth Rediculous being related to Billy Bob. Darth, if you remember, is little Betty Sue Sith's second cousin. So he can now unlock the "Dem cows is perty" racial.

No, this will not break anything. IT is for PvE only per the demo. Like having a pet nerf.

Corellia will also have new dailies. And that'd be an awesome place for some World PvP, or at least a place very much like Corellia. The whole urban combat thing would be very fun...

Denova has been confirmed as a new planet. Now, not sure what it will entail. At least, there is a new operation and WZ....both themed much like Balmorra.....anti-air guns, bombers, big ground battles. Still, no idea if those are animations, or we will be driving/flying vehicles....haven't heard enough details yet. It does sound cool tho. Link to the YouTube video below:

Hmmm. Maybe it would be a good idea to join a warzone to win. Would anyone still go into a WZ if there were no rewards? I think they would. The quitters are....well, quitters. They quit in real life too. It is a mentality. Can't worry about that. If they put in a decent abandonment mechanic, we will have the chance to use it. If you don't want to enter a WZ, don't enter it. But if you do, play to win.

Keep going. You have barely started, run 20-30 more missions and the next tier opens up.

"silly noob i love people who talk crap about merc's when troopers are just as easy and mindless to play, have you ever heard of grav rounds? guess you dont know **** about the game, yet you all cry about sorc's... so pathetic this game needs arena so all these entitled pubs have to take a look an actual look at how they play" This person is an Imp and never had a challenge in Ilum cause Pubs were outnumbered 5-1 or worse. These chir'ren are funny...sad, but funny.

BW should not be afraid to rip off the concept of WvW PvP. It looks like it will be pretty awesome, and they could sure use a new "planet" area to fight over with 3 or more servers in one huge, huge open PvP area. I think an enormous area with cities like Corellia at the "keep" areas in GW2's The Mists would be a super fun way to convert that idea into use in the Star Wars world. I am paying a sub fee to have fun. If the end game is a total fail, I will not be having fun, and will eventually go where the fun is. Grb a great idea and use it!

Patch 1.2 is the make or break patch. If BW can't fix many of the incidious problems with the basic game design, they will lose a large percentage of their customer base, and quickly.

It is not irrelevant troll. IT is a common problem, and people have had different experiences whether it is working correctly or not. Be more courteous, no need for criticizing a legit post.

You are an Imp... What do you expect the way the matches are created?

As noted, DoTs should, but apparently do not break stealth in the way the designers had in mind. It is not working properly. MAny stealthers readily admit this, but will not post it because it gives them a huge advantage in PvP. Can't blame them really, but it is another fix pending.

At least your healing sucked.

It probably won't be abused. That would be a true ******e move. Not that there aren't some of those out there, but far fewer than everyone thinks. Most of us will play with those that get into the WZ no matter the "gear score" or gear type. Let's face it....not every 50 has decent gear. It takes some time to get there. As a precaution, go in with some of your friends or guildies to help balance things out.

Slicing seems fine. It looks like everyone was super spoiled by how it was set up previously. Now you can use slicing at lower levels to open credit boxes and Supercomputers that are laying all over the world. You can also send your companions on missions. True, you have a small percentage chance to get a rare plan or aug along with a dribble of credits, and the high end missions are very expensive to run. It bakances out if you get an occasional item in the mission to sell. If you take slicing and don't like it, drop it by clicking on the little "X" on the missions screen and start a new prof.

I think a lot of the whiners are people that have not: 1) ever signed a 30 year mortgage note 2) bought their own car with their own credit, and signed a note for 60 months (terribad idea, btw) 3) gone to school to get a four year degree bacaure it takes four years! (That's 3.9 years too long!) 4) hiked the Appalachian Trail because it is 2000+ miles long (What? That's too long!) Everone that wants their result NOW! Sorry guys. Most things that are worth having do take a little longer. BW wants to have a great game out there and are working on it. Buy that house, go to school, take a hike...(you might save the hike 'til after you graduate though). And play SWTOR. I'm sticking around to see how things turn out...

Shameless bump to see who else might be interested..... Come on over and start up a new toon on The Ebon Hawk RP! Will soon start 50 raiding and grouping as a guild to get 50 dailies done (even though Ilum is a mess, there are lots of other ways to get gear).

Hi BioWare! I usually come straight to the forums, but clicked on several other links on your homepage (the dropdowns under "Game Info" and "News & Updates". Most all of the links there really need to be updated. The "Community Events" dropdown as well needs attention. It currently shows only the Launch events around the world and does not mention the Guild Conference coming soon at all. The "Developer Blogs" don't show ANY of the ongoing blogposts and the last post is from 23 December, 2011. There have recently been some other developer blog posts, but are nowhere to be seen. Show your homepage links some love to let us know you are still keeping everything updated.

There is a Cathar refugee female questgiver that stole some medicine at Fort Garrick on Ord Mantell for both the Smuggler and Trooper storylines. I do not recall more on Ord Mantell though. Taris does have at least one I can remember, but do not remember where on planet that one is. Miralukas are (imho) ever-present because of their overt force-sensativity.
