if this game wasnt being carried by the star wars IP it would be a laughinstock, especially considering it cost 10 times as much as any other mmo to make

what would you prefer, 8v8 huttball over and over, or 6v8 voidstars or alderaan over and over? I'll take boredom over crippling odds anyday. Or maybe just play another game that isn't broken

yeah except thats not how it works or what causes it if there are 30 republic queueing (a stretch on most servers, where there are maybe 60 level 50's online at prime time), the queue will rather split that 30 in 5 groups of 6 under the assumption more people will join. except there are no more people. so basically bioware screws over the entire republic faction at the same time with a 6 v 8 empire never have this problem due to them having a *** ton more people anyway

really not that bad ... i was valor 50 at 50 so maybe I'm just more pvp centric, but it took me about 2 weeks to get to battlemaster and I had terrible luck with bags too

well didnt take you very long to **** that up

f this buggy *** game

they need to remove the option to pick up boxes for completion so you 2 million sith reroll

12k 150 meter radius aoe

yeah right, things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gTtupyI68M have been going on since release they aren't banning anyone for anything, the most they will do is delete the forum posts so that outsiders will think this game is well moderated

friend of mine got his first piece (implant) after 20 bags

except you can trigger it with 100% success if you follow certain, very easy to do steps. if you have more than 8 people, someone on your team is exploiting. unless theres TWO bugs that cause it to happen

Its my money and i need it now

have you guys tried not going down the tank tree, and go down the force tree instead for the crit sweeps? this is working for me to keep threat on multiple mobs. I've looked at the tank tree, but I just don't see much reward from pumping all those points into it. I think this is kind of a screwy solution to the OP's problem, and the only conclusion you can draw is that the tank tree is badly designed. I think maybe if guard was changed so that it transferred a lot of threat from the guard target that would work too...but I'd still think tanking in force tree is better than tank tree.

imps on our server started using it, and after we got swarmed by 12 imps on voidstar for the nth time, repubs caught on too and now we actually see 11 vs 11 wz's all the time its actually the only way to guarentee a match starts with 8 for republic since they will start it with only 6 otherwise. anyway gg bioware cant even have faction balance in a warzone

would do wonders for the community +1

pretty much, then you finally go in and its 6 vs 8 gg bioware 250 server, 220 of them dead

sweet he gets 3 pieces of the crappiest gear while his friend is already finished the next tier stop defending the system fanboi

they said this was planned a long time ago, but this is the same dev team that didn't think to stop WZ's from starting 6 repub vs 8 imp so I wouldn't hold my breath

in oklahoma do the people not understand what the term 'flavor of the month' means?

tough times I opened 26 bags this week and got 6 things, which I think is more or less the correct % but yeah entire system is dumb

I guess you don't think stores have a markup and what EA gets is actually less than the retail tag. Or that companies have to pay taxes on sales so for 60 bucks they might see only 45.

more like at 2 million sales at 60 a pop, they've covered what they spent to advertise it to acutally turn a profit, they'd need those 2 million to all get 6 month subs. I mean its doable sure, but for MMOs the subs are more than gravy

if my server is 3.3 to 1 I would say that is quite different from the OP, and would give me cause to voice my disagreement based on my personal experience no?

nope I'd never have bought it and come next month I will not be playing the game even though it is star wars

Okay, I heard this EXACT thing during the start of warhammer. EA/Mythic said if they can just hold onto 150k subs, then they'd make a profit. And we know how that worked out. The problem here is that TOR cost hundreds of millions to make in the first place, and 'profit' = your monthly revenue > your monthly costs. It'll take them forever to actually recoup the money they spend developing.
