The only thing that is broken for me currently is the Regen toys; they do not give back class resources (force, heat etc.) at an increased speed.

I can't find the video now, but James Ohlen, one of the originals of the SWTOR development team, said in an interview that their original idea was a more action based combat system with active blocks, etc., but the management wanted Bioware to capture the WoW audience (kill WoW), so Ohlen and co. had to scrap their ideas and copy the boring hotbar combat style of World of Warcraft. The biggest problem this decision created for Bioware was that by the time SWTOR came out, Blizzard had already changed its combat system to a more modern, faster system. So SWTOR was already behind at release, and as a founder, I didn't get to experience QoL like Group Finder and transmog until much later in SWTOR's lifetime. This really killed SWTOR's potential as a competitor to WoW. Of course, I do not know if SWTOR would have been a rival to World of Warcraft if SWTOR had kept the original ideas for combat, but I am pretty sure that in trying to copy World of Warcraft, the only thing that set it apart was the IP, story, and voice acting, and that was not enough to fight the titan. As always: failure of management, of the people making the decisions.

Hi, I missed out when the set came back to CM. If someone has the armor box please send me a PM or reply in this thread. Cheers,

[Apprentice Pummeler/Bulwark MK-2] is the set that looks like Master Orgus Din armor and is also similar to the [Culling Blade] set. Prior to 7.1 this set was rewarded through starter quests on Tython for Jedi Knights in two versions: MK1 (hoodless) MK2 (Hood down and some changes on boots and belt). With 7.1 for some reason Bioware decided (or maybe just didn't notice) to remove this set out of the reward table. I've already tried to do an item recovery through a ticket on a character that has the whole MK2 set except the boots and belt, but because the character was created and items deleted more than 3 months ago, CS can't restore the missing [Apprentice Pummeler/Bulwark MK-2] items to me. Is there any chance Bioware that you can add the set/s to the adaptive vendor on the fleet? Please.

Question: I am a legendary player since years back and levelled a new character to 75 without doing story past starter planet. Do you mean that although I am legendary and have done every class story several times, my new character won't be able to pick a second combat style before I have conpleted CH3 on that character??

Personally.. No thank you to delay! Release the patch/story and fix what doesn't work correctly throughout the months. Bioware's SWTOR division is not big enough and have enough funding for me to demand everything be buttersmooth. I do not have issues with bugs as long as the company work towards continuing support and fixing as much as they possible can after launch, but I'm not naive enough to believe that you can just handwave away issues with too little funding, Manpower and Covid. They have already delayed the combat stances for almost two months which is way too long IMO (my most wanted feature).

Thank you for testing the feature for us! This is what I meant with that Bioware have been terrible at explaining and informing the players about how exactly the combat styles will work in 7.0. Information should hve been clear and readidly availible for us because why make a change like this if you do not aim to get new players into the game? There's a big lack of selling features by Bioware and this will probably go under the radar. They don't need to use s huge AD campaign. Use social media... Just use something...

Hi and thank you for clarifying! I am a legendary player since years back so then I shouldn't have any issues with taking a break until 7.0 is released and play the character as I intended. Regarding Bioware creating hype; I feel that putting out a video now that better explains their intention about combat styles for example would be a good idea for people that are unsure about what the change means (and there seem to be a lot of us that are unsure). I feel that Bioware have overall communicated very badly about 7.0. Some of that I do perfectly understand have to do with Covid, but overall, not explaining to people exactly and in a well communicated manner when exactly 7.0 will release (hopefully feb 15 but who knows?) and what we should look forward too feels pretty strange to me . They are supposed to sell the update to their consumers but they are not selling anything ATM. That's strange to me... do they not want our money?

I think this was a mistake TBH. So, I have a new rolled Trooper sitting at lvl 56 that I have dressed up in a Republic uniform. The idea was "suprise, suprise" to RP the character as a Republic officer and therefor the second combat style is going to be Scoundrel/Ruffian, since I think single blaster makes more sense for an officer. I already tried with another character on PTS and I completely missed that you have to complete Chapter 3 of your class story BEFORE you can add the second combat style. It's absolutely not gamebreaking OFC but ruins the RP; playing through the story as I intended the character to work. Sure, I could reroll but I am not in the mood to regrind fleet commendations, spend 100's of millions credits on dyes etc etc. The other thing that kinda worries me; we are almost in february.... is Bioware not a bit too quiet regarding the launch date and hype surrounding it?

I got my credits now!

Still waiting for this issue to be fixed....

Ok Can i have your stuff?
