The Wookieesnuggler Legacy ... duh

Remember when groups had a dedicated "puller" as you sat back and farmed the same spot for hours upon hours, and for the new guys it was for XP not loot dare I say it? Nothing like the early days of DAOC PvP when you would have hundreds of people seiging a castle! How about a dedicated player to help restore mana? Sitting for ten minutes to get your health back up .. don't miss that one so much! What do I miss the most? I miss that people were dedicated to their class and the game and small changes didn't matter because it was more about the people you played with. You actually felt like you accomplished something in those games.

To be fair coming to the forums and saying your being extorted because you didn't get help with your quest is part of the same culture that refuses to help strangers. You want help from your community and you go to the forums and accuse them of extortion? It is not hard to see a pattern here. You went to the general chat forums and accuse your entire server of exotrion and being in cliques. That is pretty drama queen if you ask me. You didn't even post it on your servers forum where someone might be able to help. It is a cry for attention in front of the entire swtor community on the main forum page because of problems with one quest on one server. I have found that this type of behavior is usually a pattern. That pattern is probably your map to fixing the problem.

How can it kill the PvP queues when it is already down for maintanance?

Because before WoW MMOs took years to level a character. After three years trying to hit max level you are not going to re-roll FOTM characters, or re-roll because of a nerf or because your mount didn't work exactly the way you wanted .. wait there were no mounts you had to walk. Today's WoW evangalists would have walked on WoW within the first week of launch.

This is proof why all MMOs will be filled with hate. If you make the features like WoW half the people complain you just cloned the game and the other half like this guy ^ consider copying WoW features the equivalant of a seatbelt.

There is no way on Earth that they are gonig to put in ranked warzones before they have the server merges and LFG tool figured out. Why .. just think about it for a second? I know you are not happy and don't want to wait so maybe it is just time to find another game. In reality there is just no way it makes sense to do ranked WZs first.

If WoW was released today it would be released to millions of whiny brats that expect the world and would fail. WoW was lucky enough to be the MMO when MMOs hit pop culture. Before WoW a very small fraction of the gamer community played MMOs. Being the MMO that was played when MMOs got huge it will always have a population that no one can touch. I doubt there will ever be another WoW in the MMO world, once WoW goes away I think their customer base will be distributed through the hundreds of MMOs that take it's place. My crystal ball shows hundreds of future MMOs with a few in the low millions and many in the hundred throusands but very few if any single MMOs hitting those numbers again.

I don't have a problem with anything you mentione in huttball. The only problem I have is when there are three or so jump/pushers on the other team and the guys are flying over your head so fast you can't even target them. Three minutes go by and the score is 0 - 6.

When you start THE GAME to get IN GAME click PATCH NOTES. The idea was never to buy the orange gear isntead of the regular WH. It was stated it was after you buy the regular WH and want an elitist color choice on your armor you can buy it to have the different color armor then transfer the mods.

While I understand your frustration with rated WZ I also understand how bad it would have been to put in rated WZ and then start to figure out server transfers and LFG tool being cross-server or server specific.

1-49 PvP does NOT prepare you for level 50 PvP. So I think it makes sense that level 1-49 PvP should not equip you for 50 PvP. 1-49 is the freebie fun for all PvP that takes no equipment, spec or level to be good at. You can top the charts in your teens. At level 50 you need to earn your way to play with the big boys, and while your doing it you learn how to actually PvP at 50. IMO you will learn more about SWTOR PvP playing in recruit gear trying to get your BM than you will the entire time from 1-49. Once you work your way up to your BM/WH gear you will not only have gear to compete but you will understand how the game is played at 50 and can contribute.

I would prefer what we have now than that change. I have always thought the most annoying thing about MMOs is when your top level and a level 10 knocks you off your mount. Having that small shield is a great thing IMO. It is great for places like Illum where you have to basically run up a narrow path filled with bad guys and you can just run right through all of them. I really don't understand the need to go much faster though. There are so many taxis and quick travels on pretty small planets I just don't understand how far you really need to go.

I have not noticed tab targeting to work any worse or better than any other MMO really. I would say that in ALL MMOs tab targetting is not the most precise method of acquiring targets though.

Ok so you liberated your tab button at the expense of your mouse wheel. Seems like half dozen of one and six of the other to me. Personally I prefer using my mouse wheel for attacks. It just feels more fluid to use my mouse for the attacks and the button right next to the WASD for tab targetting when you decide to use it. It really just depends on your playstyle. Some people use the mouse to move and ignore WASD which would put the tab key right next to all their number keybinds which would make sense. A lot of gaming keyboards now have special keys to keybind just to the left of the tab button to make it more useful also.

I bought it so I could drive through a group of 50's. See driving through things instead of trying to go around makes the mount significantly faster in practice.

So you want to get from point Y to point Z the fastest way you can. Driving through the bad guys while they shoot at you and you ignore them is a lot faster. Or you can get the cheap speeder and go around them or get off everytime someone shoots you and fight them, then get back on and say to yourself "man that faster speeder is a rip-off".

It is really simple folks. This is an MMO for people who like Star Wars if you prefer goblins, or pandas, or cat-peopple or knights etc. go play one of those games.

I guess there is only one way to say this. Buy the higher speeders for the shield or just go away.

Sith traditionally never used red sabers they used Crimson. As I thought I understood the lore the Sith used Crimson sabers maybe once out of need but eventually as a way to distinguish themselves from the Jedi. Using the movies as reference is a little odd didn't this game take place thousands of years before that? 3,500 years before the movies a Sith probably did use a Crimson saber typically although I'm not sure there were strict rules about this. Although what I don't understand is how we are on the Empire because I thought the Empire didn't come about for another 3,500 years? Was there an earlier Empire because I thought that is what Palpatine did during the times of the movies, change the Old Republic to the Empire?

There are more than plenty of taxis and quick travel points in this game you don't need a speeder that fast. Everyone knows you only buy the 100% speeder for the shield anyway.

I have a Pyro PT in full BM Eliminator gear. If I wanted to try shield tech would I be better to do it in the gear I have or would I be better to start over in the tank recruit gear?

I was going to disagree but the random capitalization of words is so convincing that I can't argue against it.

Yes because the track record of a less than six month old game is to take longer than 8 months to come out with a patch ... even though we have had major updates already. Logic FTW!

In video game time that means early 2015
