Thanks for finally giving me that final push to un-installing.

Bioware uses it's paying customers for all testing. You must not have been around for long. But I would like to thank Bioware for giving me yet another good reason to finally give up and un-install this mess. Their code has been bug-infested since launch and I think I've given them way way too long to get their act together.

I really wish I could disagree with this. I really do. But Trixie is 100% correct. The engine will NEVER be updated or upgraded. The game simply is what it is, for as long as EA can milk a buck from it. Thankfully EA's days are numbered, so those potential games now under development outside EA's control will be the real future for SW in games. I loved SWtoR, but it's time is coming to an end. May the force serve us all well in the future.

Dude, SWTOR is owned by EA, and they give absolutely zero F's about anything other than collecting the maximum amount of $$$ for the minimum amount of effort. If getting the voice recording would have cost them $.05 more to do it right during the time of the dreaded beer-virus, then it would NOT be getting done. Maybe it will get done before Winter, but I wouldn't bet on it. Yes, it sucks, but they own the exclusive license to Star Wars at the moment, so it just is what it is.

The critics seem to dislike it, and remember they just LOVED TLJ. So I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I suspect it's pretty crowded and disjointed from a film narrative perspective, as JJ attempts to clean up the debris from TLJ. Seriously, the whole thing is a textbook example of how not to do a trilogy. There was obviously no central plan for all 3 movies, other than the names of some of the characters.

The cake is a lie, and so is "Play however you like". MM FP spamming is the only viable way to gear up in 6.0. If you try to stick with PvP, you'll be way behind and frustrated. Same for crafting, which is just garbage at the moment (as predicted by PTR inputs that were all ignored).

I've seen fully end game geared people already on fleet. Apparently, in addition to having no life, all you need to do is get a group and spam 1 of 2 master FPs. Hammer Station for non-stealth and Red Reaper for stealth classes. The stealth road is faster, but those are the current best methods, with stealth being roughly twice as fast to gear via this method. PvP only will also work, but it's slightly slower than Hammer Station spamming. "Play your own way" doesn't seem to have lasted very long. Sorry for those who love BW no matter what, but this is simply a dumpster fire of an expansion. Not worth the wait at all.

As long as by everywhere you mean Red Reaper for stealth classes and Hammer Station for non-Stealth classes. Doing anything else will just make the grind slower and even more boring than spamming a single FP.

LOL exploit early, exploit often. I guess they're betting the Bioware can't afford to ban them all and reduce their playerbase any more than they already have.

Same here mate, already cancelled my sub after less than a week. Mandatory groups + way too little story = no fun and no more money for Bioware until they give us something worth paying for.

At the moment, the servers are the only thing I've found borked, as they're all down on my launcher. Maybe I should have stayed a bit later at the office. LOL

Maybe they should change their slogan to GROUPING NOW MANDATORY, or something else a bit more accurate, lest they drive even more paying customers away. The game really can't afford to bleed many more people.

Welcome to Altoholics Anonymous OP. Don't let it bother you that you don't have a main. Mains are boring, and probably a whole lot of other bad words ending in -ist. Just rotate thru your alt army, playing something new all the time.

I was getting periodic lag on the Esseles (SS server) that continued to Coruscant. Abilities sometimes fire and sometimes they batch up and wait a second or 5. The mobs don't have the same issue it seems, so is this an attempt to try and inject some difficulty into the game? If so, it fails hard as it just makes things annoying, not really any more difficult. Oh well, another 2x week gone by with almost no play time as the game just always seems broken during these weeks. Another resub opportunity wasted for BW. GG dev team

^this x 1000 I checked the rewards for grinding these new dailies, and immediately bounced off the planet. Absolutely zero reason to ever bother with it again.

Another utterly worthless daily area with rewards that are pretty meh. Not even worth bothering with. Sorry BW, I think i'll check back when you actually put some effort into your game.

According to Eric, it won't be fixed until sometime after 5.10.2. So basically, there is no actual timeline for when it might be fixed. Until then, use melee companions or trick the companion AI with the old 'passive on', leap to target, 'passive off' workaround. Lots of buttons to press, but at least it usually works.

Eric, Please stop talking about improving communications. We've heard promises to improve communications since the beta, and it's only gotten worse as EA completes its assimilation of Bioware. So stop promising things will get better and to quote Sheev Palpatine, "DO IT". Or as Yoda would say, "Do or Do not, there is no try". When both the dark and the light side agree on something, its a pretty sure thing.

Please stop using logic, it depresses the fanboys.

I've been around since the beta as well. Did all 3 class stories on 3 different servers, ended up with 40+ characters on Star Forge that I'm trying to trim down. Haven't really played much since 5.0 as the CXP grind pretty much demotivated me (there's just something about a game emphasizing RNG that can't write a decent RNG generator). With the last patch though, I'm done. Sub is up in 2 days and will not be renewed. Since the patch, EVERY SINGLE toon I try to play runs into a new game-breaking bug. Which I'd expect if I was trying to test games written by high school beginning programming students, but not by a so-called AAA game publisher. So long all, may the Force serve you well (or be with you for those who're Jedi inclined).

I tried playing it once. That was more than enough. It's becoming more and more apparent that the dev. team has no idea what the heck they're doing. The time needed to get 3 GSF pops is ridiculous, let alone 3 wins against people who've figured out how GSF works. Not to mention the insanity of trying to get 4 MM flashpoint pops for the last one. Are they randomly generating both the activities and the number of them required? I thought Ben and his love for RNG had moved on.

Maybe the servers have been driven mad by finding Kira and Lord Scourge in a compromising position?

Quinn? yuck, all the cool kids have moved on to Skadge slash fics now.

Nobody drives back to the office. They're at home with snacks and a cold beer, connecting remotely. Unless EA is even cheaper than any of us have ever accused them of being. I haven't had to go back to the office to fix anything in well over 20 years now.

picky, picky. don't be so entitled.
