Can only add to what is being said here. After yesterdays patch CZ is broken, poor framerates all over. Other places are unaffected. Loading to CZ first time took a Long time, graphics elements were loading half a Minute after I was able to run around. Second time loading into the CZ crashed my comp (running Win 8) with some BSoD message abount "Memory Managment". I was able to do my dailies there, but it was a slide show. Don't know if issue is related but the Core Meldown HM FP, the dome ceiling for Duneclaw and Vrblther was pink (as in no texture), but didn't have lag there.

Keep in mind that guilds are player made "groups", and its up to the guild leader or the officers to decide if they can accomodate people with certain disabilities. The game doesn't make these things mandatory, the people who run guilds however do. The issue here is whether or not a single person has the right to barge into a group of people and demand that the things be done differently now.

Well most of your points start with a very important word "I", and the only thing that I agree on within your post is that the guild requirements should be stated before joining. As for the rest of your points, you can take your "I" and stick it where the shine don't shine, cause my "I" thinks that voice chat is necessary and makes the whole experience more fun.

so what next then tank/heal and dps/heal hybrid? We been steadily loosing roles since the days of EQ. I remember the party there was never complete without someone casting Mez or CC as it is now known. And desirable buffer or debuffer. trinity is the basis for this game, there is simply no getting around that.

Yea and the market got saturated with rare items, that went for dirt cheap afterwards. I agree this game throws around purples much too easily. I also wonder why devs bother to create white quality items (armor and such), when greens are so easy to get and blues are not far behind.

When I hear word sandbox, it is associated with the grind in my mind. But it can also be done well. Sandbox for me = do it your way. While EVE is the best example of that imho, I also really enjoyed Anarchy Online, with its more or less free from skill distribution, and randomly generated missions.

Thats the last thing we need, going back to the roots. Now lets all make a remake of what was done before and dress it in pretier colors.

You had to group in EQ 1 cause you simply couldn't solo yellow cons, or at later lvl even blue cons, I wonder if it would have been the same if you could actually solo (I'm talking about early EQ here). I remember hours spent camping Orc camps, with the group to level up. It was a grind of proportions worse then Aion, not an experience I want to repeat. On the other hand, because the system was so punishing you learned very quickly you role in a group, cause nobody wanted to loose hours worth of exp grinding to the death penalty.

Most of your argument here implies that you expect new MMO to start from the same base line as the others. I'm afraid thats not how it works. Can you imagine someone trying to release a new smart phone today with the base functionality of just a phone and then when ppl start comparing it to the latest gen iPhone and all the nifty extras that it has and then also costs the same come up with an excuse that iPhone was on the market longer? I can understand that there is not as much content as in WoW, cause content is something that gets added over time, provided there is enough of it from the get go to get people interested. But the functionality? Thats just a given imho, all those damage meters, dungeon finders, guild features, gui should be part of the standard package.

You have an ego problem here. You can't seriously expect BW to invite a 4 person guild of buddies that were jumping from game to game with no loyalty or dedication to any of them since 2001. And this remark is not really meant against you personally, furthermore I have no idea how big or how well organized your guild is. I do agree that the selection process could habe been more open, but you do have to realize there is no way in hell they can possibly invite all the guild leders or even a small fraction of thereoff. So it comes down to a few select ones and there is no reason to feel insulted by that.

Sample size is not the issue here its the bias. You are throwing a question out there, and the people who will answer it are more likelly to be the dissatisfied customer wanting their voice heard.

Isn't it 60% chance per shot? And anload fires abouts ten shots, or more with dual pistols.

No they are not. There is a reason ACs still have ~50% different abilities of the other AC in the same class.

And while you are at it please add a server for Vatican too

Cause the thread got moved, it was posted in general

Sounds like a good fix. It looks like they brought PvP gearing inline with PvE gearing. Btw your title is presumptious. I'm lvl 50 and last patch improved my gear gathering casue they boosted rewards for HMs dailies, and I couln't care less about PvP. So please update the thread titel from "all lvl 50 players" to "all - 1 lvl 50 players". cheers

You have no idea what you are talking about, I tank ops bosses no problem and I have no +Accuracy stat beyond some of what is provided by unmoddable equipment.

You mean never having to pay for another medpack/stimm/adrenal and always having access to one of those, while other players have to spend a fortune is not enough of a reward? Think of how large your repair bill is going to get if you start adding consumables to that. Rakata belt and bracers are nice items but they are by no means exclusive

This thread is really funny, and too true, I loled for good ten minutes. Thanks for the effort writing that.

Can it be that your attacks get blocked or dodged?

The rule here is very simple you roll on what you need. As BH tank I will need on any Cademimum piece drop for my class. However, the problem is that my Cad "tanking" armor has no shield rating or absorption, which means I will need for any piece for other class that has those mods, just so that I can strip them out and install in my tanking Cademimu armor so that it is actually useable as a tank. Basically I will need on the drop because I do need it. Other choice that I have is too strip out pre-installed mods and replace them with inferior (lvl wise) mods from dailies, but why would I nerf myself like that? Basically you can thank BW and their idiotic gear design for this.

This is nice bit of advertising that announcement. Will basically shout to an average gamer out there that the game is alive and kicking. Yes some of 1.7 Mil subs will not stay past their sub time, but by that time you may end up with an influx of new ppl comming and the game will grow. Pretty good faceslap to the dommsayers and haters (mind doomsayer and hater != critic)

Yea thats a solution, just pitty tanks can't get their epic gear like other classes do, mostly ready to go, without the additional process of hunting down mods and enchantments. Regarding Accuracy, my ranged accuracy is now at 95% and thats fine, whats important is that my tech accuracy is at about 105%, which covers the majority of powertech's skills. Ranged accuracy I beleive affects only the basic attack, unload and maybe rail shot.

I am a long way of from having any of the epic gear, but out of curiosity I took a look whats available at the vendor. Its seems the super commando variety is geared to wards tanking, but what I find puzzling is that none of the pieces in the set have any +shield stat, some fraction of pieces have +absorption stat. Am I missing the point here, I though for PvE the stats associated with shielding are our bread and butter? The gear that I am putting together doing dailies is aproaching 50%/50% in shield chance and absorption and while Rakata pieces have better AR/Aim/End, the no shild part is really bothering me.

if SWTOR Arena statistics are accurate then there around 2.5k players per server during peak hours, which is sort of ok, but not great either. I don't understand why game like EVE manages to cram 60k people at the same time on the server, and SWTOR with all its sharding and instancing only 3k max.
