I find it very annoying also. I would somewhat understand if the WF's were actually cross server, being that they are not, it makes no sense. To make it worse, I queued with a buddy last night, and we ended up in two different WF's.
My friend is having the same issue. Interestingly enough, you both have push to talk assigned to your mouse. I have mine bound to ctrl, and I've never had any problems.
Now if they could only fix the issues some are having with the a launcher. Getting tired of having to download the 4.80GB English Assets 1 file every time they patch the game.
If you were to do all that, why not just make a new character? Doesn't make much sense to me. They'll have to come up with a betrayal quest like in EQ2. It would be more complicated because of the class quests tho.
I'm subbing for 6 months. I've been having a blast playing. I'm a bit disappointed in a lot of the small things that weren't included at launch, however it's still a fun game. I think with time it could be great. This coming from someone that doesn't care about Star Wars or Bioware (not a fanboy of either).
I'm having a similar problem. After downloading the patch the client starts downloading English Assets 1 (4.80 GB). I've had this happen several times after patches. Sometimes it will download the 4 GB and start all over again. I've tried the fix launcher which does not help at all. Very annoying!!!
I like this game a lot, but issue's like this give me a no confidence in there ability to release polished content in the future.
