They wanted PVP queues to be short at launch. Despite seeing "a lot" of 50s in your bg, they still aren't the most common level. If they implemented the brackets at the beginning of the game, none of the 50s would be able to start getting their PVP gear because not enough would queue. I'm loving the PVP.

TERA already launched in Korea last year. It's not doing well, and is what made me look into SWTOR in the first place. I also need to stress that the only "innovative" thing is their targeting system, but targeting in the game isn't actually hard. Also due to the need to aim, casting/attacking are very dull. Some of the skills are also lock-on target, so that's negating their only innovative claim. No one even knows what GW2 is unless they go on gaming forums. Perfect what? Maybe as a professional troll, you've developed severe tunnel vision, but let me clarify for you: SWTOR is being advertised everywhere. It will have far more subscriptions than all three of those games in their NA/EU versions combined. Just because you go on gaming forums doesn't mean you understand video game sales as on a macro level.

There is no EXP loss or item loss, it's not harsh.

TERA hasn't announced a beta in North America yet.

How is my suggestion not real? I want an entertainer non-combat class.

Entertainers from SWG.

People troll on the internet because it's the only place they feel they have any control over. Likely they have a job they don't like (or can't find one), feel like their interpersonal relationships are failing or are non-existent, and they have a lot of self-hatred. The main population of MMOs are people who, for whatever reason, prefer a virtual world to a real one. We're all a bit off in some way. Some of us more pathologically than others. This isn't an excuse. I hate trolls. And when I run guilds, I don't tolerate it for a second. I don't invite people with a bad rep, and people who act up get kicked.

Try talking to people ingame instead of whining on the forums.

You're wasting more time you could've been getting legacy experience by complaining here.

You sure are whiny for being a soldier.

The only MMOs using this method are private servers. This is the worst suggestion I've read in days.

Been playing MMOs since around 2005. Played Ragnarok Online for 2 years, Sword of the New World for a year, Atlantica online for 3 months, World of Warcraft for a year, Aion for a week. Was going to say TERA was the next promising MMO, but then I gave this one a shot and I don't think I'll be playing TERA when it comes out now. I'm with #2, I think this game has a lot of great elements, and some lackluster ones. It's Star Wars, it should have some more flavor to it. This is a bit dry. But I have faith that things will improve as the game progresses. It's EA, all the best stuff comes via expansions.

Gotta agree with this. I was expecting a little bit more emphasis on the socializing part than the overt focus on combat. I'm really, really hoping for a non-combat class in one of the expansions.

Yes. Five chars.

Running in WoW is 50x worse. I barely even notice it in this game. So no, it's not keeping me form enjoying the game.

Togruta.

no cash shop.

I really hate the word "toon" also. It sounds so stupid and it grates my nerves every single time anyone says it. They're CHARS. Get it right!

This a design feature. If you don't like it, don't play. It's not going anywhere.

The voice acting is worth it. I don't know why people don't understand that the money to develop this game went into developing it for years to come. Anyone who honestly thinks they haven't been working on future expansions with part of that money is seriously ignorant.

The OP has a point. Other people have done the actual math and it's really more .5 than 5%, but if it truly were 5% this would be a huge issue. I do NOT want this to become WoW where everyone must have jewelcrafting or engineering to get the greatest advantage in a fight. It's boring and it messes with the market. All of the crafting professions should be on equal footing. People who are saying 5% is a nonissue need to not post in this thread. Unless this guy is stomping into your player housing threads calling you all a bunch of dorks, then you have no right to slag on his valid topic.

I would like to see more stuff added to Nar Shaddaa. Casinos and flavorful elements like that. All cantinas in the game should just look more crowded and lively.

In Ragnarok, there would be maps with a 7/1 ratio of passive mobs to aggressive ones. You would level up on the passives and teleport away when an aggressive one came near you. Going from Ragnarok to other MMOs was weird, seeing so many hostile mobs. I think SWTOR has done its part to help balance this out, though. There are plenty of passive mobs in many of SWTOR's questing zones. It's not like RO, but it's different from a lot of other games.

Then don't. Bye.
