This is a classic case of corporate "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing."
Announcing this right after the abhorrent patch...just priceless.
There is zero flexibility in when they could offer it. It has to be before the 20th or it serves no purpose.

What is wrong with this? I dont get the negativity?
Another game I play did a similar thing in response to the launch of swtor. They have a reward of exclusive in-game items for people who stay subscribed from Dec-March (or somewhere around there). Everyone knows it's because they are worried about swtor hurting the subscriber base - they do something very similar every time a new MMO launches. I guess they figure a little stability to weather the storm for a couple of months can't hurt.
BW is obviously doing the same thing. They figure anything they can do to delay the expected 1st month drop off of subs will give them a chance to get a stronger start.
The negativity comes from 2 sides. One side notices how pathetic the reward is. The other sees it as entirely too early in the game's life to start falling back on marketing tricks - ie that it's a sign that the game is doing poorly.

I don't PvP and don't like this situation, but we may be stuck with it.
There is absolutely no situation where I will be "stuck with it".
If you see someone doing this, start following them around and wait for them to pull it on someone else, then take them out.Your solution to being forced into PVP is to voluntarily engage in PVP. Sorry, man, but that's stupid.
The proper way to handle the issue is to petition a GM and bug it every time it happens. Then if you get a negative response, immediately petition again. Harass customer support.

Because MMOs are about developing an individual character.
And? Characters are not one dimensional things.
They are not about any excuse and method to pretend you have a social life by jumping into a group.That's not even a sentence in the English language.
Lol. A real excuse to you..who wants dual spec, is not going to happen because you would'nt accept it.I mean, seriously, what language is that supposed to be?

as a healer i can tell you that my wirlwind ir ready to go to re cc a mob by the time the first one drops off. So i just re cc mine. Usually, i select the one we will kill last to cc
That works for all healers except IA (and likely the scoundrel mirror). They can only chain mez robots.
-
If the healer has mobs on him, he's spending more time healing himself that he could spend healing you. The area heals in this game leave a lot to be desired, and the healers take a lot more damage than the tanks.
The end results of those two facts is - if the healer will always do better focusing on one main tank than on himself + 1 tank. There's almost no instance where you would want a healer to be tanking anything. If you can't keep up with 4 guys on the tank, then you're really not going to be able to keep up with 3 on the tank and 1 on the healer.

NO kidding trying to figure out the issue, chalk it up to FAUX outrage.
Huh? You know I was agreeing with OP, right?
There's an issue because PvP shouldn't affect PvE. The fact that it does is easy to observe, but that doesn't make it right.
-
I understand completely what you're saying, it has a certain logic to it. BUT, the problem here is that it is true that it buffs people's capabilities too much in PvP, but that also means that if buffs people's capabilities too much in PvE.
Generally speaking, PvP and PvE balance go hand in hand.
That's just not true at all. PvP favors burst damage/healing while PvE favors sustained ability over long periods of time.
Just look at the comment about the grenades - they are talking specifically about burst.
-
No real response needed. PvP adversely affects the rest of the game. Also in the News, sun rises in the east.

Yup, everything you did on the secondary character is effectively lost.
I forced myself to level one character to legacy level before dedicating much time to secondary characters, but it represents yet another design choice that reduced my enjoyment of the game.
The up side is that you can run repeatables and make up for any loss, but the downside is that legacy XP seems to accumulate faster on lower level characters. Just eyeballing my current advancement, I think you would make more legacy XP by starting a new character at level one and deleting when you're bored than by running FPs on a high level character for the same amount of time.

The funniest thing is, no game, even the worst (FFXIV, AoC, WAR) actually died or went F2P before a couple of years.
Champions Online.

I think you made their case. They do not want any one profession "required" for raiding.
Then they should make all the skills worthwhile instead of making them all worthless.
I don't have biochem, but I do have cyber, and they're nerfing that too. A moderately useful 4 second mez that is inferior in every way to powers I already have.
Yes, they have to set a baseline for how useful trade skills will be and yes they will occasionally need to nerf some powers to keep them in line, but the baseline they have chosen is "pointless and worthless".

Did someone beat you all up and now your sad?
Fight them, evade them, or take a break.
Are you a child? In the adult world, when someone attacks you, you call the police. In this case, the police said "we don't care".

What you mentioned is both exploiting a bug, and griefing. If you do this and get reported I wouldn't be surprised if you get banned. Specially if a person opens a ticket and explains they are on a PvE server and someone is exploiting a bug to grief you. Also.... I think trying to get people to use said exploits on the forums may be breaking a rule or two on its own.
Did you not read the entire OP? CS has official said it's not an exploit. It's simply moronic design.

The fundamental question we should ask when deciding whether to continue to play SWTOR is
Do I as a paying BioWare customer trust BioWare?
Why would that question even be relevant? I trust my mom, but she couldn't design a decent game if her life depended on it. Bad choices are bad choices no matter how much you trust someone.
-
Interesting that you say that; I noticed the trailers for the game heavily use slow-motion scenes, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't think of a single instance in all six movies where slow-motion was used. But maybe that doesn't apply.
That's not slow motion, that's just lag.

PvPing people on a PvE server who have no interest in it, or knowledge they are about to be attacked remind me of the videos found all over the internet now with people jumping into a fight with someone who is distracted, punching them in the back of the head, and taunting the unconscious body as if they are a tough guy.
What is the fun of PvP if it is not fair and equal combat?
Are people afraid of actually fighting people who are aware they are there and want to engage in PvP?
Each PvP win gives you a token. When you die, you can trade in the tokens to get the self esteem you lacked in life. But they don't tell you how many you need, so you have to get as many as possible.
-
what you are experiencing is pretty standard in MMO's if you attack a player flagged pvp you become flagged.
Only "standard" on poorly designed games.
-
I don't understand why people don't like pvp.
Don't need to. My parents expressed adequate affection for me as a child.

Come on for 60 bucks what did u expect? When u run SWTOR, the monitor will morph into the M.Falcon, pull you inside and beside a row of sexy twileks in a Cantina?
Since my main goal is to play through the storyline with my friends, I would have a liked a game that was less linear, so the first hour and a half of each play session wasn't taken up with catching one player up with the rest of the group so we can all do 2 missions together on the next planet before someone has to quit for the night.
I would have liked more robust grouping/friend tools so I could safely log into the game and play instead of tabbing out (with the the 2 minute turn around on that) to steam chat with people since that is consistent and easy to use.
I would give up a dozen light saber battles and 100 cut scenes for a polished UI and more convenient gameplay options.

Are you serious? WoW... you get 5k credits just from 1 Warzone m8.... cmon.... thats 10-15 minutes per warzone :/ ouch
So an extra half hour at work vs 15 minutes doing something that would drain the joy from my life. I'll gladly pay cash to avoid doing PvP.
-
I really don't get why people are so determined on reaching the level cap as soon as possible. Where's the fun in that?
I bought this game for the non-MMO aspects. I am rushing through to the end (not necessarily to 50) so I can get full value from the game without paying $200 for something that would have been worth it for $60.
I could honestly not care less if there is no end game content. I would not play it if it existed.
-
Oh god! you purchased the deluxe!!! I would have killed myself if I paid anymore than 59.99!!!
Honestly, the extra cost to save me the 8k for a speeder is probably a better value than the game as a whole.

It's not goodwill, it's the same marketing strategy used by the Franklin Mint and the makers of all products sold mainly at 4am. Whether that is a good or bad thing depends on your personal taste.
