Ive sat there, for an hour in white nova boarding party EXPLAINING how to beat the bridge trio in the most simplistic english ever created to three seperate tanks.
It's nothing about being "new" to the game, its how your brain works.
How many players want to play with people acting rude? If you treat them poorly, of course they're not going to take in your message as well as they could of if you were positive.
People who are level 39 already aren't new to MMO's, so I think the real issue is people being used to all the "tank and spank" bosses from WoW. They are not used to having to think. I may take a while yet for people to realize this game requires effort. The challenge is what makes it fun.
My advice for you would be to join a guild of friends or pros because that's the only way to avoid these people; well, other than not doing the dungeon at all.

Yeah, I am tring to find information as to get my Digital Deluxe Edition rewards. I remember reading they would be available at launch, so how do we get them?
-
/signed for awsome and well supported suggestions. Thank you OP.
I felt by using Project on a starship, I would rip the hull out of the ship and get sucked into the vacuum of space

Actually, it's an objective review. I back everything up with in-game data. What part, in particular, did you have an issue with? For example, if I said Gigli is a terrible movie, that would also be an undeniable fact.
While I don't disagree with you about Gigle, your review is an opinion even if you back some things up with facts. Your review comes across as condescending, as does your attitude in your posts. The bottom line is all MMOs have issues and it will take TOR a couple years to catch up.
I'll tell you this, I like this games better than EQ2, Vanguard, Warhammer, FF14, LotR Online, AoC, Tabula Rasa, ect. at launch. It feels really good and while you views are valid, the aren't game-breaking, yet. It all depends how quickly Bioware can improve the game (which seems rather slowly from beta).

So far on my server most people are still in the teens and 20's. I haven't seen any high level ROTFLstomping yet, but that would be awful.
We could give players all their abilities and talents while in PvP only. That isn't the only problem though. Higher levels have expertise gear, which may be the biggest issue.
-
Despite a bit of hyperbole on the OP's part, I have seen others and myself win for healing/dmg/obj combos. I take the time and consider all factors, and I enjoy voting for a mvp.
However, we need an expanded scoreboard, because the current one doesn't tell the whole story. How about damage absorbed and trap damage absorbed? suicides? Maybe even most effective rotation (like a 3 move combo that netted their main % of damage). I would like more info please Bioware.

Hutt ball?
in PvP
Strange, I get a very even mix of all 3 warzones. I would prefer more hutball, as I think it is the most fun pvp warzone. -
CC is totally broken.
Unlimited spam no Dimishing Returns make ranged CC classes totally overpowered.
Discuss:
Well, since all classes have ranged abilities, fall back for a bit, heal, and return to the fight. I never thought "woah stunlocked" like DotA, or something. However, it is very easy for me a consular to get separation from melee classes, IF I have all my tools ready. It's surprising how well a force push, stun, DoTs combo works to give an HP advantage. Still, I like my survivability better than in Vanilla WoW, where as a mage, I could be stunlocked by a rouge and killed before I became unstunned.
My advice for you would be to stay with your team. If you run into a group of reds, expect to get stunned a lot. In PUGs, if they all burn their CC on you, well, you did your job. You have the most damage mitigating abilities. This should allow your team an edge, because CC timing is critical and if theirs overlap, it's wasted. The critical factor to your success, I think, would be to have backup and try to stay near corners/LoS blockers if practical.
I don't think diminishing returns are necessary in TOR's small warzones. I'm not sure which classes would have "unlimited spam" CC, but as a Sage, all of mine are on cooldowns of 30 seconds or more and I assume others are too.
As a side note, for the pvp scoreboard, they need a damage absorbed/CC absorbed tracker, as well as a trap damage absorber/trap damage instigator just for fun.
I like where PvP is at.

well i expected more than just one response like this. I am a bit surprised that the comments are more civilized than recent experiences.
However, if there is a problem with my computer; then why are flash points and questing and space missions working just fine? That doesn't make sense. And if it were an issue with my computer, wouldn't i be seeing major FPS issues? When i'm experiencing isn't an issue with FPS. I'm familiar with how games play at 5 frames. The game itself isn't choppy. The players and player interaction is what is choppy.
There is only one possible reason that i can think of. I play on a west coast server and i live on the east coast. "Wow stupid why would you do that?" i didn't plan on it, but i wanted to play with family/friends which happened to be a west coast server.
But i don't see how that would cause such huge problems. In every other MMO i've played, that has never been an issue. Obviously i'm not the only person experiencing this. I'll keep an eye out for any kind of official word about it. At least hearing "we are aware and are working on it" would make me feel a little better and a bit more confident about my future with this game.
I get some of that and I play on an east coast server playing in central Iowa. I think it's client side.

I think PvP is pretty nicly balanced imo. I have been able to contribute in PvP with healing, but I haven't played on any hardcore PvP servers or against pros yet.
-
This was mentioned in beta, but Bioware doesn't care. That's pretty much it.
-
Or we were MMO players who liked what we saw, knew that we only had to put down $5-$20 to secure our pre-order, and knew we could cancel it at any time.
So we secured our spot in the early access with no risk. That doesn't sound like fluff to me, that sounds like critical thinking. Also, most of us who did pre-order in July had been following the game for 1-3 years. That is more that simply being fanboys. We knew what awaited us.
Yeah who would have guessed a direct correlation from beta access to preoreders. Some of us didn't get in beta until Thanksgiving weekend, so excuse us for being skeptical before that.

I think Stephen Reid went home for the day. I mean if the guy ever read the forums we'd be in by now.
-
At least you're in..
-
Bonus wave por favor.
-
What about the Sand People of Tatooine? Imagine your character talking like the Sand People from a new hope the whole game? lol
Being a droid like HK-47 might be fun too.
-
Gungan would work for this game, body type wise lol. There's also a lot of NPCs in the game that look like playable characters of the future.
Personally, I want hutts as playable characters. On hutta, in Beta, I learned that huts are not born that fat
, they are of humanoid shape, then are allowed to become obese once they achieve prosperity. There is even a humanoid Hutt guarding the first Hutt on Hutta. The more you know... -
You know, there are some people in the world that judge people based on their insides and not their outsides?
I don't care if you are rich, poor, disabled, smart, dumb, pink, blue, or w/e, if you come off as a self entitled brat, I'll call you out on it.
And you probably don't have many friends, since all humans have flaws. Even you.
-
Umm. In the US where most people are based it has not gone on sale RETAIL WISE, that is the 20th. Early game Access does not mean it has launched. Launch means to EVERYBODY not a select few. Now by your logic then the day we get EGA our first month should start counting down. Happy ?
You have to have internet to play this game. Also, everyone can preorder the game on Origin that meets the "has internet" requirement. Therefore, everyone that wants to be in the game, can be. Retail release is irrelevant.
-
Fatties FTW. Especially when it looks out of place. Like with my squishy, red, twi'lek Jedi Consular in Beta.

People aren't on their knees begging much innovation from FPS as they are from MMOs (LOOK AT GW2 CROWD).
Well they should be
. The casual crowd is a different animal.Someday, we will look at EQ or Ultima as Doom and perhaps TOR or another MMO as Battlefield 3 (or whatever milestone you choose).
MMOs are a (slightly?) younger genre than FPS and have yet to have enough time to stray from the norm. Plus, you have to look at the rate at which MMOs come out vs. FPSs. Higher dev costs plus longer cycles equals slower evolution.
Maybe we can say the WoW was the "GoldenEye 007" of the MMO Genre, but have we hit the "Halo" phase or "Call of Duty" phase? I'm not sure.
-
If I wanted God of War I would play that, I preffer traditional MMOs after my experience with Tera.
I have a feeling it might play more like DotA in 3rd person. Who knows? You probably won't be able to die as fast as DotA and it probably won't snowball as hard.
I didn't care for the first guild wars, but I am interested to see how the 2nd turns out.
-
I won't argue any of these points. I do think GW2 will be more about pvp than most people care to enjoy.
also If I have read dev posts saying that LOL is a model they're trying to follow. The way they've limited the amount of skills available for instance. Anyone who plays lol knows you can have very deep combat meta with as little as 6 skills.
I do agree the pve aspect is over done for both games. Gw2 is doing something very similiar with voice acted stories and I think this is a mistake but so be it. One thing i do know is they aren't sinking nearly as much money into that aspect of the game as BW did.
Yeah, it may be bad but i would rather be hopeful for a game that isn't out yet than pretend a game that is out is better than it actually is.
I'm not saying Swtors is bad at all. I think it's quality for the most part. What I am saying though is that hotbar combat needs to move on and evolve.
Swtors while being Mcdonalds is still good if you stop thinking about it. I'm still waiting though for my Filet Mignon.
We've been waiting for years, I think this game is the best yet thought perhaps a New York Strip? lol
-
Good thing you didn't play EQ 1, lol. When you died you had to run to your stiff naked, hope to not die again on the way. And oh by the way, there were no in game maps. It took me a few hours one time to get to my body and with help. Those were the days. 30 mins.? lol.
I had my corpse fall off a cliff once. I'm not sure if I ever got my stuff back. It was my first MMO. I mean I drowned myself in the dwarf town fountain because it got me out of town faster lol.

The question is, how soon? I can't tell you how long league of legends said "season one is coming" and kept pushing it back. The fixes you list should be implemented within the near future, otherwise expect more QQ.
