  1. Yeah indeed IF the Product Does the Turn to Better then always can Return with a smile. Ofc with Swtor it's worse cause of huge In Game Currency Cap Restrictions with F2P & Pref accounts & Such Numb-Brain Restrictions like can't use Enough Hotbars if not giving $ for EA. Clearly worst F2P model ever made on Gaming Industry when it comes to being in MMO market & now Swtor has been Half Mmo for a while Can see that $ has risen deep into EW Devs minds after partially Badly made KOTET CGI Trailer maybe brought new sheeps in to give cash for In Game Store. Also after succes with Selling Hk-51 pieces as Sub Reward.. Feel bad for ppl who felt for that. As for 5.0 Eaware Brings some so called Endgame Elements Behind Paywall. Removing Fp, Ops & other Passes & even removing the Pvp stat & already made it impossible to transfer Pvp Comms between Legacy Members. Few reasons why many ppl are leaving after 5.0 lands. I don't mind the fact that 5.0 brings the RNG Loot system as in Swtor Char Equipping has been way too fast so at least with that it gets more normal paced heh. IF Gaming Spirits would Help a lot & Swtor turned actually Good Mmo where Developers give Love for True Mmo'ers.. After Reduce the Focus on Cartel Market then oh momma more True Mmo'ers be Smiling & Come back. Though ofc Outdated & Glitchy Game-Engine without forgetting at times Horrid Gfx "Copy Paste Scenery etc." Many not Returning or even Coming at all cause of that. As many know that Far easier to upgrade an Engine you designed & Built in House. Swtor's Eaware Crew didn't Technically do that, They took an Alpha Stage Engine & added what they Needed to it.. About Armor Looks & Devs Creativity lvl: --------------------------------------------------------------- Seriously Brings down the feelz.. For how Ugly the armor mostly is. One of the things I love about WoW that keeps me coming back is getting cool gear to outfit my character. I had none of that feeling in SWTOR, because most of the gear was either bland or absolutely hideous. There were a few cool end-game sets, but most of the items I got were recolors of items I'd been getting for 20+ levels. This I consider to be a mistake as you are limited by the capabilities of the base engine. SWTOR is part of the reason I won't buy EA products anymore. At launch everything about it felt "and was" rushed (more so than your average MMO). It made you feel like EA was just trying to cash in on the Star Wars Franchise as Quick as Possible & worry about the Fixes later The so called End-Game was & Still Mostly Is a Joke, none of the Fights Were / Are overly challenging, even on Hard mode. Esp. now with Overpowered Healing Comps & Uprisings have the same thing.. Same for ppl who Fool themselves with doing Singleplayer Mode Chapters on Harder Diffiiculty while Healing Mode Companion is active. Most Prop. means that +10 Skytroopers & ofc doesn't Change Anything when Have Overpowered Healing Comp with u.. Rehashed content a lot for 5.0 & calling that Expansion.. Same still applies on late 2016 that there's no actual End-Game & not Much Replay value. One silly Facts is that Eaware brings Difficulty modes for Brainstorm time Singleplayer Mode Chapters. Chapters that have very little replay value & esp. cause of only facing Hordes of Skytroopers & then If lucky u get to Fight against Slightly Tougher Miniboss at End. Ofc none of that Difficulty Lvl means anything cause of Overpowered Healer Companion can be used & no Doubt many Lazymode Fans use them. Then they Talk about how i Finished Chapter with Higher Difficulty New Diff. Idea taken from other Mmo "y it's normal that features r rolled among Mmo's" & implemented with bad way as of using with Silly Singleplayer Mode Chapters.. Storytelling part been Good most of the times, but sometimes at normal lvl. Brainstorm moment when think of why Eaware used over 100m$ for Voice Over Payments & then made such Crap Move with using Core a.k.a Game-Engine. Game-Engine is connected to everything & company does such Huge Mistake with so big Franchise Mmo.. Maybe Their Masters known as Half Blind EA were reason for that as they did Rush up the Release. Shame that SWTOR went to Free to Play Model & it did so in Record Time That's pretty much it. EW Swtor founding Devs wouldn't have changed the business model so quickly if SWTOR had somehow lived up to expectations. SWTOR may well have been the most expensive video-game / Mmo "Now been Half Mmo For a long time :/" ever made & EA clearly had great Ambitions for it. They Failed to meet these Ambitions. The whole emphasis on Story & Narrative was probably the Biggest Design mistake in SWTOR as it left other, more important Aspects of the game, without much Needed Attention Same has applied for years & still kinda Does. I mean Everything but the Story was barely "good enough" in SWTOR & the crappy Engine with the long Load-Times, Glitches with Environment & others, & Sluggish Combat didn't help either About Bad Decision to Create Fleet Hub & that way Reduce ppl staying outside in Galaxy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eaware spent too much Money trying to be create Swtor to be like WoW & wasted a grand opportunity to really exploit the setting & put everything behind their Narrative. Coruscant & Dromund Kaas should be Lively Hubs given the amount of work that was put in to given them that awesome Sense of Scale, but EaWare designed the Fleets to keep everyone off-planet, because... I don't know why. It's a lot of little things like that. Oh & not so much of work for Dromund Kaas when it comes to Buildings design as most of them are made of same layout so it's basically Lazy Copy Paste creation. Same buildings design "u know if look close enough" in Tatooine & Dromund Kaas. Same kind of Background Design was used in Alderaan.. Copy Paste :/ True sad background from Early Swtor Days: -------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a LOT of Bad Crap going on at EA/Mythic/Bioware "Had turned to Eaware" at the time of Swtor's development. Read up on EA Louse: http://www.gamerevolution.com/manifesto/ea-artist-soon-to-be-laid-off-burns-ea-management-2803 His story has been confirmed by several Bioware and Mythic people, and he accurately predicted the SWTOR cluster****. That's why this game doesn't know who it is for. That's why WAR crashed. That's why DAoC is being auctioned off to an oil snake salesman. EA has the worst MMO reputation out there. MMOs thrive on SOCIALIZING & seeing a world & other players. Swtor don't have much of that. Unfortunately Swtor isn't for people who like MMOs, as its a terrible MMO & esp. now been for a long time since 4.0 patch when it was turned to Semi MMO. Also it's not for Singleplayer RPG fans, because its a lackluster singleplayer game & shameful job by devs to Create Singleplayer Mode Chapters & then dare to ask for Monthly Sub to access them. Star Wars Galaxies was the MMO for Star Wars Fans <3 Good that there's SWG EMU out there for the True SW Mmo fans. It's Sad to see to how EW is cashing in with Swtor's In Game Store "Dress Up Store" with help of one of Biggest Fantasy Franchises on the Planet :/ Remember the "awesome" decision trees in some Mission like: ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC: "I need you to kill 10 Jawas." Me: "Jawas are cute." NPC: "Maybe so, but they must die." NPC: "You can find them near the destroyed sandcrawler." or, NPC: "I need you to kill 10 Jawas." Me: "I hate those guys!" NPC: "Glad you see it my way." NPC: "You can find them near the destroyed sandcrawler." ^^ Hehehe Simplicity Design on it's truest form Kind Regards: Gamer Who dislikes if Devs Simplify the Content no matter the Area if it's Instanced or Not. Also Veteran Subber who also supported with buying CC's for few times still in 2015. Sub automatic renewal turned Off in December 2016 cause of shameful approach for "expansion" Pst. Singleplayer Mode Chapters still are not Content. Like one Developer said in Semi Expansion known as Kotet Livestream.
  2. Wasn't much of a Livestream about Upcoming Kotet Expansion or well "Expansion" as most of it is rehashed "Content" Then Multiplayer "Uprisings" part is still Basically instanced Fp area with a new name & still silly as there can use Overpowered Companion with Heal mode. Other person in Stream went through Singleplayer Mode Kotfe & used Lana as Healer. which is treating her badly as she's meant to do Hurt Bogies & not waste time with healing. Shame to see Adult gamers who do such thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Uprisings are meant to be faster-paced and action-packed combat adventures where you must fight through multiple enemies at a time as you work your way towards more challenging foes. In Uprisings, you will jump into the action quickly, taking on some of the most dangerous foes in the galaxy. Those enemies have spawned these Uprisings, questioning the very power of your Alliance." ^^ All what said above by Devs is "We are reskinning the Czerka Flashpoints to feature some Remnant Imperial/Republic Figurehead from our random name generator and call it progress" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Said by Community Manager: "KOTFE’s Story feels a bit Stretched out and the choices didn’t seem to matter so for KOTET They are really focusing on this." Thoughts: And they just say said not long ago ? KOTET will be no different, Obviously. They said before Kotfe launch "Your Choices Matter" over, over & over while promoting KOTFE, and Recently they admit that it didn't. Can that be twisted into false advertisement? Shame for many of those who like that Full Singleplayer Mode adventure & actually Pay Real dime more than to some big game like W3 when Months Sub stacks up. Just for Singleplayer Content Chapters. Also ofc for those who want more chances to takedown another Generic Companion so won't be added to rest of 15+ Comps to Crew Skills Window. All are made of same Mold now & no unique ones out there like was before Companions were turned Overpowered Terminators no matter the Role. Shame that 5.0 brings what it does & Already know many who Left the Building & Not coming back to this Rehashed "Content" "Expansion" Many got enough of this Star Wars Dress Up Adventure that's gone more & more into Rehashed & Semi Singleplayer Mode for a long time now. No love for Mmo Community for 2'ish years. Rishi Arena did come y in spring this year, but that was year late as Sor Expansion came year before that. Kind Regards: Mmo'er since 2004 & Sub since launch in #swtor & even bought Cartel Coins few times in 2015. Can say that given my share of support for Star Wars: The Old Republic Stopped buying Coins after noticed that proper Mmo features didn't come & even Galactic Starfighter didn't get updates after Development was stopped in Autumn 2014 Chat system is Outdated just as the Game-Engine still in late 2016 Dropping Sub before this Month's automatic Renewal. Wish all nice gaming in whatever game that is
  3. True that.. It's Eaware style ;D Pi** on Supporters eye & espesially Pvp addicts who had 200k Cap like yours 150k.. Imagine the Hair Ripping moment what many others got when noticed. One week warning time would've helped, but still crap ofc cause of that 2m CAP. What a Joke.. :/ I know dozen ppl who won't Keep Sub after December cause of 5.0 changes & Stay out even if the mysterious January Announcement is about having new Ops. Or couple by the end of February.. EW Dev Crew ruining gameplay with Ops & other Passes removal & putting Silly Command behind paywall. Oh well many casuals feed the Cartel Market so they're happy & EW keeps Putting up more old Pieces there with new Paint & Name. They sell like Fresh Donuts to Homer Simpson heh :/ As we know Announcement doesn't mean that comes in couple weeks & it won't save this product for going down cause of 5.0 changes Wish u nice gaming in whatever game that is Kind Regards: Mmo'er since 2004 & Sub since launch in #swtor & even bought Cartel Coins few times in 2015. Can say that given my share of support for Star Wars: The Old Republic Stopped buying after noticed that proper Mmo Features didn't come & even Galactic Starfighter didn't get updates after Development was stopped in Autumn 2014 Chat system is outdated just as the Game-Engine Dropping Sub before November's automatic Renewal. Wish u nice gaming in whatever game that is
  4. EW's idea of a Halloween event is Buying things from the Cartel Market Hihihi Trololz :/ Wooppie doo Exact same Halloween items for the 3rd year in a row.. Wiuh I know they're lazy on many areas, but adding some new Halloween Themed stuff to CM would've probably Boosted Sales as most Veterans already have what they want of these Items.. For example They could've taken that awesome Sith Inquisitor Robe that many wants, put a Black/Orange Dye on it & sell it for 1k-1.5k CC'S & make a ton of Sales Despite the Rip-Off Price. Assuming with new content out in 2015 I could look forward to some Creative new Evil looking SH items. Now in 2016 Event Big Time Disappointed with Total Lack of Anything new Already have all these things from 2013.. Lame work by design team. They can add anything they want to CM, but an actual Halloween Event with Being able to get event items by doing event Tasks in the Galaxy would be nice & Unique move by Developers If Swtor Developers would be Creative when it comes to these Human Made Yearly Events then At the very least they could've given something like Rak'ghoul Event Trip During the Halloween Week.. Zombies are somewhat in the spirit of That Holiday... Real-Life based Events not work outside Cartel Market because People Would start to Enjoy the Game More. As can see That's Not an option fo Eaware :/ Y Eaware now as No Origin members remain in Company & Merged with EA :/ They want us who are not Casuals & Blind Cartel Market Feeders to Disappear. Sad Fact is that casuals & ppl who Blindly Feed the Cartel Market & keep asking for Simplified Gameplay "incoming 3x Diff. lvls to do Old Content means nothing" are the Supporting Backbone for this Currently Half Mmo :/ Keeping it Up. Kind Regards: Mmo'er since 2004 & Sub since launch in #swtor & even bought Cartel Coins few times in 2015. Can say that given my share of support for Star Wars: The Old Republic Stopped buying after noticed that proper Mmo features didn't come & even Galactic Starfighter didn't get updates after Development was stopped in Autumn 2014 Chat system is outdated just as the Game-Engine. Dropping Sub before November's automatic Renewal. Wish everyone nice gaming in whatever game that is
  5. Hihi.. Maybe Bugged Up again just like Conquest'st launch ends up sometimes :/ Then it starts only on Next week cause Eaware Devs / Tech Team don't know the Meaning of HotFix Patch If fixed day or 2x days after then just to add Remaining time for Conquest & Ppl Happy. Nooo They've always left it on shelf for a week & launched like nothing happened on next Weekly Reset :/ Hopefully new Event starts soon even it's all the same for me as i dislike it how Events were Simplified a while back. As now they all come once a month.. Trololz :/ #Rip #Swtor thanks to 4.7.3 & 5.0 patch changes :/ Devs pushing out Pvp'ers, F2P'ers, Pref & almost ppl from every cathegory Kind Regards: Sub since launch & even bought Cartel Coins few times in 2015. Can say that given my share of support for Star Wars: The Old Republic Stopped buying after noticed that proper Mmo features didn't come & even Galactic Starfighter didn't get updates after Developmed was stopped in Autumn 2014 Chat system is outdated just as the Game-Engine.

  6. Yaiks Using Ensign Temple the fine well trained lady in Heal Wounds mode.. She's not happy with that Hopefully u get back to using her as Dmg. She's meant to Dmg the enemies of Sith Empire. Hopefully this Finally gets Fix soon even IF it happens only when using her as Heal Mode. I know how bad it feels cause Sith Warrior says "Accept my Apology" when ask ally / allies to follow. It's been Broken since launch so for 4.9 years :/ Kind Regards: Adult Mmo Gamer & been in Mmo Career since 2004. Appreciate Mmo's & Games in general where u Need to work for your Character's Proggression. Not given things with no effort on Silver Platter.
  7. Yes same happened for me few times in past 4.8 years. Sometimes these Missions do this & not so fun when it happens. Also Conquest Objective not registered even if 110% certain that did like should've. I hope will be fixed at some day. Kind Regards: Kind Regards: Been in Mmo Career since 2004. Appreciate Mmo's & Games in general where u Need to work for your Character's Proggression. Not given things with no effort on Silver Platter. Ofc on these days it's not the case with Swtor which is Sad. Cause of Watered Down Content since 3.0 :/
  8. Annoying bug here, when typing /chat the Chat Bar Deactivates "randomly stops" then UI windows Connected to Keys start popping up instead :/ Some how i even got to /whisper a random person & text was random :/ Char Ofc also Jumps cause of press Spacebar when Typing. Jumps when Chat Bar Deactivated.. Maybe some Sync problem with UI / user. This started to happen already in 2015 :/ It's Frustrating espesially for People who use the feature that can open multiple Windows to screen. It's Enabled via UI Editor. It's a must thing to have enabled as it makes things way more Comfy on UI This Chat Bar Deactivation more painful when happens even if typing short word & comes in middle of Operation's Boss Encounter or Pvp clash. Also Chat Window Doesn't have "Lock Chat Window" option @end of 2016 :/ Also Other BUG is that many have reported is Created Chat Tabs sometimes Detaching from the Chat Window. It happens randomly when Click on some Tab that want to activate. Created Tab Detaching / Vanishing been around almost since launch which was 4.8y ago & i've made a video about it. http://plays.tv/s/KmcG5NkFBQvU Old ex Mic loses voice sometimes & Displaying the Bug Starts @48scs. This is one important QOL = Quality of Life feature that should "should've been" be Fixed. Also can't Browse Targets that Whispered with since previous Login. Tabulator Key is used for that on Many Mmo's since early 2000. Please Fix this Chat Bar Deactivation & New Chat Tabs Detaching from Chat Window :/ Somerimes they also Disappear & Relog puts visible again & then need to Drag & Drop to Right Slot. Using Tabulator to Change targets "People" that whispered with since previous Login is waited in late 2016. Kind regards: Subber since launch & y still Here after Huge Gameplay Simplification in past 2'ish years Will see if end automatic renewal in January if MMO Community doesn't get Proper New Mmo Content. Also bought CC's sometimes even had Sub active so can say that given my share to support. Stopped that in 2015 after noticed that Singleplayer mode Expansion Kotfe coming. Singleplayer mode Cptrs are not content. .
  9. It was pretty much simple to Finish so i don't agree with this. It's 110% ok to have all Hm Fp's included for this Achi objective. Plenty of time given to complete & doesn't even require heavy dose of sitting in front of Pc & seeing beard grow. Or not if haven't reached that age yet, but anyways meaning that this is simple to get done for so called new Event that is half baked. In 5 mins starts the usual time of Eaware throwing Swtor's EU Supporters Down the Ditch. Server Downtime with Patching to start @15:00 in EU's furthest Timezone. Losing Peak Hrs of Adventure time. No respect for them.. :/ Enjoy gaming all wherever that is Kind Regards: 4y + Subber & soon finally dropping it if this bad Eu & Espesially Eu +2 Treatment with server downtime timing not going to change. Bigger reason for it is lack Proper Grp / Mmo Content for a loong time. Haven't got Mmo Content for 1.9 years now so hopefully get some by the end of the year. Star Fotresses / Eternal Championship could've been made accessible only Team.. Bad job there. Many other things to dive into that could've been made other way.. Hopefully things change to better and simplifying Gameplay with each major patch & sometimes in between. Kind Regards: Mmo Gamer since 2004 & Gamer who loves non simplififed Gameplay time. Also likes when Server Downtime isn't favoring some Continent 100% & pushing it over other supporters Peak Hours Time.
  10. Conquest runs from Tuesday early afternoon to Monday early afternoon. Eaware doesn't make HotFix Patch within couple days & then just change the time remaining to what it is in Conquest Tab They always let CQ be broken for whole week Heh.. Hih.. Basic Slow Reaction & Non Mmo way of handling Major Bug that's linked to Days Long Event Conquest being big part of the client for many & this is 3rd or 4th time for Conquest to be Bugged Very Disappointing that Swtor's Eaware Crew don't know the Meaning of Hotfix Patch for this big Bug & Esp. when didn't know for some Gameplay breaking Bug's in 2015. This year we got Rishi Arena which came year late heh as Sor Dlc came wayy before. Then still in late summer 2016 don't have Cross-Server Que for Ground & Space Pvp'ing or Megaserver in NA & in EU Also Arena's & Warzone's to be in Separate Que Like they normally are in Mmo's. Not about this subject, but hey when thinking of how some things r handled then bad memories flooding in heh. Again when Conquest Not launching properly / at all Tech Crew Abandons the Hotfix plan or don't know that word Been normal in Mmo's almost since UO came out in early 2k. Hopefully on some day Swtor's Tech Crew / Devs understand the meaning of Hotfix patch & not abandoning Event for whole week when it's launch is Bugged. Sub since launch & if No actual Group & Mmo Content come this year then finally to Cancel that & Not supporting even via in game store. Gameplay simplification began heavily @3.0 & even more @4.0 "shivers from 4.0's simplification" & now Swtor was Turned to Simplified Single Player adventure with some random Mp features Hopefully Decisive encounter with Arcann baddy won't be badly designed in animation wise like Sentinel wielding only 1x Lightsaber or Gunslinger blasting only with 1x Blaster Pistol like happened @1st encounter in Asylum. Kind Regards: SW Fan for over Couple Decades.
  11. Again this No Contribution Bug... With 110% Certainty finished Ops via Lazymode Grp Finder Tool & No Contribution given.. It was Done between 14:30 - 16:00 Eu Gmt +2 Today 4.5.2016. This happened several times Before in past 1x year. It's Not fun esp. when u get team there & More than 1x person gets the Bug Even more Sad when u do the Operation trip & don't have any other reason to be there. Well ofc cash by doing the weekly Mission & possibly more if Force supports your Dices & Rolls Decoration to you so can sell if don't Need. Shame that Don't have Picture when started "including Conquest Tab @Mission Journal" & after start wtih Conquest Objectives Tab Open. Or didn't record the trip & link it. Of course didn't think of this Bug to happen again. Please Fix this & not Hotfix Patch thank u Many Veterans have left cause of some basic much wanted socialising features missing on 2016 & So much Handhelding & Simplifying on Gameplay Also cause of lack of Mmo content. Strange how Rishi Arena didn't come even few months after Shadow of Revan launch. As it doesn't take year or even months to create Arena. Espesially Arena that has already used layout "Rishi planet" so it's mind boggling for Long time Mmo'er. U can Fix Conquest Bug & do better Kind regards: Subber since launch & y still after huge gameplay simplification in past 1,5'ish years. At least for now even this Mmo being turned to singleplayer mode too much with Kotfe.
  12. Can Confirm this Bug / Glitch :/ This started to happen way before 4.4 patch was implemented. Started around Early April & y it's pretty annoying espesially for those ppl who use the feature that can open multiple Windows at same time. It's a must thing to have enabled as it makes things way more Comfy on UI Chat Window Doesn't have "Lock Chat Window" option & it's almost mid 2016 :/ Also old Glitch that many have reported is Created Chat Tabs sometimes Detaching from the Chat Window. It happens randomly when Clicking on some Tab that want to select / activate. Created Tab detaching / vanishing been around since launch 4.3y ago & i've made a video about it. http://plays.tv/s/KmcG5NkFBQvU Mic loses voice sometimes & displaying starts @48scs. This is one important QOL = Quality of Life feature that should "should've been" be Fixed. Also can't Browse Targets that Whispered with since previous Login. Tabulator Key is used for that on Many Mmo's since early 2000. Please Fix this Chat Box Deactivation & New Chat Tabs detaching. Somerimes they also disappear & relog puts them to visible again. Using Tabulator to Change targets "ppl" that whispered with since previous Login is very welcome in 2016. Kind regards: Subber since launch & y still after huge gameplay simplification in past 2'ish years. At least for now even this Mmo being turned to singleplayer mode too much with Kotfe.
  13. I Hope the Same. Been a long time Subber & Mmo'er about a Decade. Sure lately Swtor been turned more & more into Singleplayer Box Genre. Though as long as There's some sort of Ops'ing available "Without silly Bolster" i'll be staying and Subbed. Ofc Bolster is very Sad thing to have for many Veteran & even for some Non Vet Mmo'ers who prefer Ops'ing. Good that for now at least there still are Diff.modes that don't have it Espesially good for Ppl who prefer to work for the progress & not Simplified Content. Ofc it's Rare to see content like that in these days when content is being dumbed down on many Area's. Hopefully Swtor's Ew Dev's & Tech Ppl get things working soon. Many Ops Bossy Encounters have strange new Bugs that make them often unbeatable cause of messed up Mechanics. Also Bugs on Crew Skills and elsewhere after 4.1 Patch came. The one with 10+hrs Patching / Maintenance. Wish You nice gaming and fine year 2016 & same for Swtor's Ew team. - Long time Subber who Likes to Work for Char's Progression no matter the Area -
  14. Yes noticed this Glitch / Bug on yesterday evening when we went to do Storymode a.k.a Softmode Ops Trip there. Pretty crazy Brontes encounter for Softmode for knowing how Softmode Ops encounters are dumped down to Deepest Pit of Simplification after 4.0 patch arrived. Both Tentacles on phase where 4x Fingers on each side are Slamming the center area & the slam area zone Icons appear before Hitting the Ground. Blast Radius is Wide so even staying behind the Tentacle doesn't prevent u from being knocked & interrupting your Channeling. If this would be new feature made by EW Devs then i wonder what kind of crazy new changes are made for other Softmode Operations. Ofc i wouldn't care if changes to make them close to what Storymode Opses used to be before dumping them down how they r now after Kotfe arrived. Wonder why all other DF Bossies before Brontes were kept at Mind Boggling Cakewalk takedowns for Softmode.. Then Brontes having very whacky Phse before last one where she comes out to Play. Also the Droid Bossy before Brontes still shoots one Death Lazer to weird angle and not Forward and that looks pretty fun Thanks Devs and please Look Into Brontes Bug Phase before last one where 8x Fingers on field & 2x Tentacles smacking the Center Area. Not Tauntable like used to be & so on. Only ppl who would design it to be like this would be ones who would've smoked some Weed before designing new Final Bossy Encounter(s). - Mmo Veteran who appreciates Work for Character Lvl Progression & General Progression. Dislikes old bugs & general simplification -
  15. Yeah some have had this for a few time in 4x years. That Crashes when hovering over map icon or text in Mission Tracker. Weird stuff and hopefully be given permanent fix soon. Take care enjoy. - Subber since launch & regrets 1,5'ish years of cause of it Huge simplification made for the product in that time. Very close of dropping it in past 1x year to 4.0 cause of EW turning product more & more to Singleplayer. So soon could rename Swtor to Kotor 3 maybe. -
  16. Originally Server was estimated to be b online @7pm Eu Gmt +2 & if some probs come then prob. online status gets close to 8pm. So no matter what it would be then chunk of Peak Hrs adventure time taken away from Eu Supporters & espesially from Supporters in Eu Gmt +2 :/ Non Equal NA & Eu Fans / Supporters treatment by Swtor's "Mmo" and y " " cause it's been turned more & more to Singleplayer client has been mind boggling for this 4x years. :/ Y their only HQ is Na @Austin Texas, but timings for these things could be made better / normal for Eu supporters. Like some companies have done for a long time & some examples are Cryptic & Blizzard. I know that many blind Swtor's EW crew defenders might come to rush to defend them on this, but i really don't care as know how things have been for 4x years & how they could be better as seen it elsewhere. Done by small & bigger companies. Many ppl & Animals too learn from their mistakes & in general become better in handling things that are repeated several times "Keeping Server & Engine Balanced & working on this case". Hasn't been so with Swtor's EW Crew & one example was last week's Broken Conquest Launch as IT didn't get Hotfix Patch. Tech Crew took one week for it & now when new Conquest "hopefully last week's CQ Targets would be put back" is about to start with new patch that has new short singleplayer Chapter things are messed up Time is NOW 0:58 EU GMT+2 & The Red Eclipse server being offline since 3pm. Peak Hrs of Adventure time taken away from all timezones in EU & NA ppl / supporters are still fine. They will be Fine even if takes 30mins more upto 1:30am Eu GMT+2. Latest Twitter update is that might come online within 1hr or so. Clearly 1st time for this to happen in 4x years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation for Subs from today's 9.2.2016 Disappointing Patching & Maintenance Work: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Naturally IF Swtor would be Sub only model then can imagine maybe Devs to give some sort of Compensation now that EU Gmt+2 & even Gmt ppl can't login this late. Like Bethesday, Trionworlds & some other Mmo companies have done in past years. When server downtime has been running wild. Propably No Such thing coming since Swtor's SUB is 110% Optional as Client is B2P or F2P model don't know & don't care to check out as of been subber for a long time. Y do regret past 1,5'ish years of being one cause of so much dumping down on many area's & heavily @4.0 launch :/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplification of Gameplay & Lack of actual Content. EW still doesn't understand that Story isn't New Content. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now new Augments came with this 4.1tgb Patch & increased 224 item lvl Drops from Operation Encounters so simplification is now real also in other Ops area's & not just in Storymode a.k.a Softmode.. :/ Soon handful of MMO Veterans have finished ALL Opses upto Nim mode before new Ops comes. Yes Few handfuls of em Vets who still are in Swtor cause no actual new Content for a long time & Swtor been turned more & more into Singleplayer mode since 4.0 came & even before that. Star Fotresses can be done alone & big thanks to Comps being made all the same now after turned to Terminators no matter the Role & each can do all 3x roles. Uniqueness taken away & EW talks about aiming for story & Characters y ok & comps were turned to same mash of droids coming from mass production.. :/ No more Unique Companions like Treek & Dr. Lokin after those changes were made for 4.0 the Biggest Simplification Patch in Swtor's history & one of top 3 in Mmo's. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Proper Patching & Maintenance Hrs for NA & EU Continents / Supporters: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patching & Maintenance timing to EU Supporters for Noon or Earlier Not hard to do like Blizzard & Cryptic Studios almost as good as they do. EU Supporters & Gmt+2 ppl suffer much more from these Badly designed hrs. Now As long as C. Market launches new Items List on Tuesday's then all good.. Seemed to go like that since Transition to F2P model If broken then Hotfix known right away for Sure. Not for CQ last week :/ Hotfix Patching been policy for many Mmo Companies for many years. Tech Crew had about 6x days to Fix CQ launch Bug that has appeared few times before & to put same CQ targets for this week & now Patching & arrival of new Short Singleplayer Cptr bugged. Learn Hotfix pls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bad things came as it's Dumping down "again" & Things that should have in Old Republic or to come soon: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Auggies coming on this patch is BAD move and esp. as many "me included" who have Been waiting for Actual New Content "Story addition isn't real new Content" & we don't have new Operation. Or even 2x more Arena Maps that would be simple & much faster to create than how Devs given them so far. They easy to create from some of the current Planet maps if not creating new environment for them. After have those Arena's then Arena's to own Separate Que like is in some Mmo's what have Arena's & Bigger Pvp Maps. Cross Server should also be here and it would bring & would've brought much wanted Life into Old Republic. Not seeing same faces all the time and to have more activity cause of it. Yes Devs choosing poor old Hero Engine as Game-Engine a.k.a Core of the product was a bad idea & shame that EA rushed the release. So EW couldn't optimise it better, but best thing would've been to select one from some available ones. Hero Engine can't handle Cross-Server & that's a huge loss for Old Republic Mmo Vets & want that We should have new Operation coming soon, but not :/ Then good for other one like few months later or in early / mid summer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No i won't start replies war with ppl who blindly come to defend EW & comment without finding out about things 1st. Wish Safe & Enjoyable 2016 for everyone & Fine gaming on whatever product that will be - Long time Subber who Logically wants some sort of Compensation from today's terrible Maintenance & Patching server Downtime -
  17. Yes had the same thing happen @end of 2015. Wrote about it and no Action yet by the Tech Crew or support :/ They keep on bringing short chapters for a while now at least & abandoning actual new content & Multiplayer focused. As adult gamer always hoping that no more Dumping Down the Char lvl progression or General Progression. Seen too much of it since 3.0 and some even before that & Heavily @4.0 arrival :/ Lets ask the Force to change things better or at least not going worse 2x New Arena's & Own Que option for Arena's after that & new Operation would be good to have Creating Arena maps & adding announcer for them not really that long process As EW been giving them & there are many fine area's that would be good to have Arena. Cross-Server Que for Ground & Space Pvp & at least for Heroic FP's would be Optimal Addition to have now as it's 2016 & not 2005 Seeing same server ppl all the time turns out old after a while. Many ppl have also left cause of missing this one.. It's amazing that still after 4x years we don't have this feature.. :/ Now it's 2016 & it should be around. Even Hm Fp's r pretty much pointless now as they are comparable to Storymode a.k.a Softmode Operations after they were Dumbed Down to Worm's lvl @4.0 arrival. Tokens come worhtless now very fast cause less places to use them. No need to use them for Companions & Companions were all turned to same generic pile of mash & being Supercharged Terminators no matter the role. No more Unique Companions like used to be before simplification Patch 4.0 came :/ Wish nice gaming and prosperous 2016 for you and all Old Republic ppl out there and for staff as well ofc. - Long time Subber who dislikes Simplfiication & loves to see work for progression -
  18. Devs just pushed the problem aside as many expected "shame that worst thoughts came true" & still After all this time working with Mmo they don't have idea of Hotfix Patching. Also didn't learn from previous Conquest launch bugs & fix things to prevent from happening again. Wasn't fun for mamy that FIX was canceled as was expected to happen & Tech Crew just waits for next week when New Kotfe Chapter a.k.a "Single Player mode adventuring :/" arrives. Cartel Market's new items arrival worked well so Devs r happy Devs care more about short Kotfe Chapters than Actual New Multiplayer content now in winter & spring 2016 at least if not even longer :/ Now that things are going like this the product name could be changed to Kotor 3 a.k.a Swtor with few remaining Multiplayer elements. After all the simplification changes & focus on short SP Chapters :/ Once already when this Bug happened Fix didn't come @all on the week it was broken. Please do things differently from now on & mean that how things should be handled Hotfix Patch & taking care of OLD Bugs like 2nd Weapon not showing on Cutscenes "on diff. Gpu's & updated drivers" & Char even holding weapon on the side where weapon is on waist x) :/ So it's about Old Hero Engine & Coding that makes that Bug Happen & not the many diff. Gpu's & updated Drivers. Have received reply from support that directed to many links for fix & to update drivers heh :/ Seen many reporting that bug & ppl having other Gpu models. On December 2x failed Events and now in January many events in a row & no client maintenance for a while. Though When it comes then it often covers huge part of Eu Gmt+2 Supporters optimal adventure time a.k.a Peak Hours :/ This is 3rd or 4th TIME for this to happen if not mistaken. Shame that on this week Hotfix Patch wasn't applied on 1st day when it was reported early noon "or even earlier" Austin Texas timezone. Or day after so then ppl would've had about 5x DAYS to do Conquesting. Shame that EW doesn't follow basic Mmo Acts by applying Hotfix Patch and also taking proper care of the product's Client. Conquest bugs that happened earlier "prevented the Conquest launch" were not studied well enough so then this same bug could be prevented. ------------------------------------------------------- Missing Basic Mmo Features after 4th year: -------------------------------------------------------- Client is still missing some basic Mmo Features.. Y good that cause of few Requests whisp via Guild window came after 4x years, but is bugged If Whisp target has special marks on name. Works via /who window after searched guild, but that shouldn't be the solution, but to fix the problem Still after 4x years can't lock Chat Window & that might prevent the occasional BUG that removes all other Chat Tabs from their slots except default "General" one & they disappear. Usually only Relogging solves that. When logged BACK then need to Drag & Drop the Chat Tabs on the screen Back to their slots above Chat Box. Also we STILL don't have Cycle Whispered Targets after Login. Makes Whisper chatting with multiple ppl at same time much better than what IT has been for 4x years. TAB Key is used mostly for that in Mmo's since they came around over decade ago. Also active CHAT TAB is Reseted back to Default "General Tab" always after Instance Switch :/ So always need to click the Chat Tab again that wanna use when it happens :/ Chat & Socialising Features "Guild window's Small MOTD & Description Box are Outdated as it's 2016 & not 2005. One Tab to either side of Guild Window & there to have space for 500 - 1k letters. It works wonders on some products & would be welcome by many for Swtor. Many ppl didn't even know for a long time that can read more @Description Box when Scroll Rat Wheel on it.."heh" so one reason give Updated Guild Socialising Features now in early 2016. I've often added note that scroll rat wheel on box to read more to Motd, but can write so little for it :/ Not hard to create & know it as Programmer's Padawan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shameful Char lvl & General Progression Simplfiication @ 3.0 & Esp. on 4.0: :/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been a subber since launch and really regret for being one the past 1,5y years cause of huge simplification on many Area's. Esp. @ 4.0 patch arrival and it can be considered to be one of the biggest Nerf Hammering Patch In Mmo history. Y maybe not biggest, but close of being one. Companions lost their Uniqueness & esp. some of them are just the same as all others now. There r no unique "out of the masses" companions anymore & everyone is almost unstoppable Terminator machine. When it comes to Dmg Dealing, Healing Wounds or Tank taking hits. Then @4.0 also came the SIlly watering down of Storymode a.k.a Softmode Operations & was unbelievable move to see for many Mmo veterans & even for many who r Freshy Old Republic adventurers. Also the mind boggling simplification done for Planetary Hc Missions is just pure sillyness.. To put them all in one Terminal @ Fleet.. Yaiks :/ Also given silly Shuttle available for use that takes person to Hc Mission entrance.. Wouh :/ I'm not using those silly Hc Mission shuttles so always tell that 1st when someone asks me to join to do them. As they will use them & won't be having fun with me when i use good old ways to travel I don't mind @all for doing them alone heh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wish good safe spring & year 2016 for the whole staff & every Mmo Fan.
  19. Indeed.. One of the Mind Boggling things and not TO Apply Hotfix like has happened So often In Mmo Genre's history for over Decade now.. :/ Wish you safe & prosperous 2016. -Long time Subber & Mmo Gamer who might unsub after this expected result. Then come b when new content being added. -
  20. Sooo True and many Mmo Companies been doing this for a long time: "You don't have to wait til 4.1 to fix things. This is what hotfix patches are for." <3 Well said and y indeed this "Bioware's response to bugs and events not working seems to be to just leave it broken." Has applied too often with Ew crew when it comes to managing Swtor being steady :/ Been subber since launch and seen the good old days when content wasn't watered down to Child's lvl & now these simplified times. Wish you safe & prosperous 2016 and well said & sad ofc that it's true :/ Now to craft dinner & won't be coming to this thread anymore. Sayonara have fun on whatever Virtual Universe that is I think this week dedicated for Rise of the Tomb Raider adventures since EW did this expected move :/ Long time Subber & Mmo Gamer who might unsub after this expected result.

  21. Well said y well said indeed & Sad to witness this kind of Mmo handling from the company that's been doing this for 4x year now so not rookies anymore. I do sincerely hope that ways are changed to better Wish you safe & prosperous 2016 & same for Ew's Swtor Crew. - Long time Subber & Mmo Gamer who might unsub after this expected result.

  22. Didn't quite say it like that and y esp. with this poor Hero Engine that EW choose to use for Swtor things are more complex to fix than what they would be with some much better ones. That would've been available during the early development phase. Y i was around and following dev news since 2008 when website was created & i registered not long after it was. Joined to 1st beta day & pre ordered Deluxe Edition & subbed to this month since launch. As used to be Padawan of one good programmer do have pretty good vfiew on fixing some. Didn't say about taking down realms for weekend and did mention that to fix before thursday or friday evening and then allow Guilds to compete for the remaining time. Anyways this abandoning the fix was expected and not giving max 2x hrs offline for applying patch to fix it & setup the Conquest Remaining time properly. Appreciate your reply and wish you Safe & Prosperous 2016 - Long time Subber & Mmo Gamer who might unsub after this expected result. Then come b when new content being added. -
  23. Heh just like once before with Conquest launch bug... :/ Should've known that everyone @ Tech Crew is ordered to secure the Bug Free New Chapter Launch & not care for bugs.. This is the sad way what is being used by Swtor development crew :/ Conquest is one main reason for many ppl to stay online and esp. now when content is so watered down on many area's.. Then this is being done that Tech Crew can't even consider of applying Fix within next couple days and just put the time remaining to what's left until reset and let Guilds Compete for that time. :/ Staying offline even more this week & possibly unsub later.. This is not how Mmo companies do things or well one seems to be doing & most definitely shouldn't be doing. From Past experience i know Tech Crews that have fixed events that r longer than one day within next couple days. Hopefully get some actual new content soon this spring. 2x new Pvp Arena's & then to Put Arena's to own Que, Cross-Server Que for Ground & Space Pvp & Proper matchmaking for Galactic Starfighter. To take it's development from shelf after it was put there to gather dust in early Autumn 2014. Wish Safe & Prosperous 2016 for everyone. - Long time subber & Adult Mmo gamer who prefers to see work for progression -
  24. Yeah happened to me not long ago that didn't Receive the Title after Conquered location and y logged in within the time that's required to have that. All that work for nothing :/ Wish you nice gaming and safe Prosperous 2016 - Subber since launch & long time Mmo gamer & prefer to see work for Character progression & not simplified content -
  25. Yes this has been around since launch :/ I hope this would be fixed and same for Friends window that's been bugged since launch 4x years ago. Also after 4x years we finally got the Common Mmo feature which is to whisper via Guild Window, but it won't work if Target person has special letters used for the name.. :/ One way it works is to use /who window & then type the guild's name "or some parts of it won't appear" then whisper there or add to Friends & whisper. Of course that shouldn't remain the way to do it, but Tech Crew to fix the Whisper via Guild Window for ppl who have special letters used in name. Friendly regards: Subber since launch and Adult Pc / Mmo gamer who prefers to see work for Character Progression.
