ugh yeah this happens to me too. I tend to alt+tab back and forth until it works.

ouch!

Great idea - this will help shut up the ridiculous threads about taking 4 hours to get somewhere.

I know I am naming that which should not be named... but the Bartender MOD for WoW is about as perfect as an action bar interface as I could imagine in my wettest dreams. http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/bartender4

Oh yes - and in terms of "Epic" mmo fights there is the 18 hour fight against a FFXI boss: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/08/pandemonium-war/

I knew you were talking about FFXI. I loved being the puller. Now that "wow-like" mmos have the tank as the puller, I tend to gravitate to the tanking role.

Yes please, for non-bound items. Bound items seems a bit to powerful and would lead to a lot of messed up loot situations in flashpoints. If you think people rolling on loot for their companions is bad, think about if we could roll on loot for our alts.

I play in full-screen windowed mode. The only problem I have is that sometimes the screenshot button doesn't work. Otherwise its fine.

From trying to make head or tails out of this, I don't see why Bioware *should* care about "Hardcore" gamers. Or at least they should care as much as "Hardcore" gamers care about grammar, spelling, and moving out of mom's basement.

They've succeeded by not including it.

To me, the question is more along the lines of: How much SWTOR advertisements, special offers, etc... will we see bundled with Mass Effect 3? Will SWTOR advertisements even make it into the loading screens of Mass Effect 3? (like how SWTOR ads were in Deus Ex HR loading screens?

You live a very exciting, high stakes life.

I would say companion AOE is a bit different than a targeted heal. And for targeted heal it just needs to prompt you the first time if you want to flag for pvp.

Most PVP is not skill-based. For example, 4 people vs. 1, where the 1 is questing. Where is the "skill" in that? Underneath its just people getting a kick out of being mean to another human being. How is that fun?

Yes please. So far 1 time out of 100 I've opened up the bug report window on purpose using that key. And my bug report was that there was no way to unbind the \ key from the bug report window.

As someone who played X-Wing, Descent Freespace, etc... I'd want space combat to be something more along those lines. If BW wants to keep with the current model, then they should expand it, make it work more like Gummi Ships in Kingdom Hearts I & II, which despite being a PS2 "gamelet" within a larger game, is a much more feature-rich and mature "space combat line shooter" than what's currently in place. Yup - I said it - Gummi Ships.

Get a job?

Wah....

I would love to see this, although I know its basically asking for another game within a game. Space combat is fairly optional to being with. Can you imagine if the space combat was re-built to leverage a ... gasp... FLIGHTSTICK?!?!!?!? There would be great whining perhaps from some sectors... but there would also be a collective "uh oh" as every single person who enjoyed X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, X-wing vs. Tie Fighter, Descent: Freespace, Descent: Freespace 2, Wing Commander I-IV, Privateer, etc... including the executives at Saitek wet their sweatpants with glee!

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Hello, I know its a tall order, but I'd like to see daytime/nightime cycles introduced to the planet areas. Maybe people don't ooh and aah over it right away, but I think it adds a subtle, but very significant impact to how people perceive how "durable" or "interesting" an area is. Please consider it. ~ Arg

Thanks for this awesome thread. I picked me up a E-313 Heavy Repeating Disruptor, quite happy with it. Can't complain about a gun that's got a scope on top of a scope. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6801232287_6a183d33af_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7161/6801167605_826913ca7c_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7023/6801167471_4ea59146c9_b.jpg

All things considered they are fairly comparable to the in-game blaster rifles: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=119938

I was going to post a picture of some nerf guns... but then I started looking at the nerf guns themselves and DAMN those are some pretty cool designs they got there. They license Star Wars IP, couldn't they license or collaborate with Nerf for some of the gun designs? I mean look at these: http://nerfguns.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nerf-cs6.jpg http://www.instructables.com/image/FW8MJP9FLROKL67/homemade-nerf-streamline.jpg http://www.wired.com/geekdad/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/the_nerf_raider_holds_up_to_35_foam_darts_cubicles_mates_watch_out.jpg The big list: http://nerfguns.net/all/
