blackdots, I dont think you can speak for anyone else but you received no other compensation other then a phone call ... is that correct then ? Just want to make sure everything is correct and accurate:] and that swtor did not compensate you in any other way.

Had to reply to this thread, first off kiroshei and other members of your affected team I know they called you and apologized but seemingly how blatantly they disregarded your problem and how well and respectful you are with them I want to know what did you get as compensation? I think I know who got the real life sized Malgus :} nah all serious... what did you get as compensation? Your tones on your emails changed 180 degrees and I dont think a phonecall did it.

Well I have been watching this thread for a while but I figured I would let it roll on as long as it could but i do have to reply to this I didnt mention I played ultima online not as pk player but as a anti pk and pvped as protection for a little rp toen called paxlair. I also never went red, and never saw statloss, pvp was fun yes, but the story is what intrigued me. PVP was fun then because what you fought with is what you lost, sure a sword with 10 plus damage could kill a 5 bad pvpers in a group but if you died then they had the sword. So yeah maybe I didnt have the interest with counter playstyles, UO had over 100 actual skills you could learn and you could pick 7 to get 100 in or 1 point in every skill. There was no cookie cutter of the month build because it took too long for someone to be op of the week and by that time the devs nerfed it. I also played eve online for over 2 years never mentioned that because I wont insult that calibur of game with this torrential mess. I was a coowner in a corportion who sold stock to outside corporations all we did was mine and take abandoned space stations to make a profit and then sell ships and mods. I also played DCUO,Global Agenda, BF3, CS, and a ton of other PVP orientated games. Now I wont lie I been playing the hell out of d3 lately and wont resub to this game. I am not blaming people for staying if they enjoy the game. But with a budget they had, the blatant rip offs of other mmos (fine with that but rip off all of it not just the bad parts), The limited pvp worlds, the exploits that caused economic havoc, the cookie cutter of the month ****, Voice acting... Spacebar(enough said),... ILUM (enough said),... Space combat (ROFL)...... Tons of things more man but my minds made up. I appreciate everyones post and hope you can all stay constructive through the time of SWTORs restructuring. But in my mind its too little too late. Good night and sincere gratitude, Hellzfire

To be quite honest if you can walk north hit a wall, walk south hit a wall, east wall, west wall, then in my mind thats instanced or a dungeun with nice roofing. i understand its a theme park based on rides but apparently that is not what people want or desire in a mmorpg. As far as the heroics go then let it be a blood fest when people are waiting in line. Some of the best pvp I have seen in this game revolved around the rhakgoul plague and the dailies, it is a shame that it was so short lived. They should of made it so you could get some crazy gear, skill or something and extended it for a month at least then the pvp would be on a global scale and not some 8vs8 box of continous grindfest.

I was going to let this post run rampant but lets get back on keel it is obvious to everyone that this is a cookie cutter version of wow with lightsabers. We can take a look at it and of course I put a fix in to stay with this topic. 1)set timed key stroke skills 2)Gear is prominent in pvp (Resilence vs Expertise) 3)talent trees with limited number of skill points 4)stuns vs cc 5)All classes a mirror class of vanilla WOW I could go on and on about how similiar this game is to WOW without all the polish that WOW invested over there 9 year reign. I would of expected that this game would of at least after 5 years of development made some breakthroughs in at least one area to make it a better game or a mmorpg staple. Now with this being said lets take a look at what swtor does not have in relation to a game that has been out for close to a decade. 1)every continent is a world in its own (no instancing except for pvp warzones or raids/dungeuns) SWTOR - Everything is a instance sometimes 3 instance jumps just to be on a instanced planet FIX - Make a whole world a instance where I can go north and after a long trip wind up back where I started. 2)Warzones do have ranked warzones and also has a plethora of warzones to play ranging from 4 man to 40 man PVP warzones. SWTOR - 4 warzones 8 men cant have more then 4 people in one group, no ranked warzones FIX - Make alot more warzones, you could take a look at games geared towards pvp look at TF2 or something they have multiple modes of PVP and incorporate that in your game, Ranked warzones I know is a sour thought but at least make it so I can queue with my whole guild not just half of a warzone, If we play premades then so be it thats life but you could put a code in your battles where premades go against other premades or no queue at all. Point being there is many options explore it. And add some warzones with different number of people no need to stay at 8 all the time. Even in ranked you should have a number of warzones requiring different set of people. Ok I am not gonna make this a wall of text since I very rarely read them. Those are some of my opinions and thoughts, I am not endorsing WOW but if your going to cookie cut something, people will expect the product and then more. WOW put in the years and time into evaluating what their subscribers wanted. So its like free research, no cost involved. BW I think has a trick or two up their sleeves I hope. But I didnt buy this game for the mmorpg comparison, I bought it because BW made some high quality, and INVENTIVE games. Some of those games would be considered groundbreaking to a GENRE of games(BIOSHOCK, NEVERWINTER NIGHTS etc.) . Best advice I can give, stop being a cookie cutter since EA bought you , and bring us players the actual game that we would gladly pay for with the RPG elements and the gameplay that once made your company great... \ Posters please keep this constructive we dont want the OP MODS to delete it, You can flame someone but give a constructive thought with the post afterwards. Thanks

My background: I have been playing mmorpgs since back in the UO days pre trammel and have continued through almost every mmorpg... Here is what makes or breaks a game, granted I not a developer but a gamer nothing more nothing less (for wall of text sake I took the foundation and the blockbuster that came of it). UO- shear first mmo, can be a pk, a real estate agent, a pk killer, miner, shop keeper, just anything you wanted to be. No set skill trees you picked yout skills not class and made it what you wanted to be. PVP was based on skill not gear. With full loot you had that skill vs gear aspect because at a moments notice it is now my "new" gear. Trammel carebear friendly ruined that games because they took the whole core of the game out of the equations skill is skill and gear is a a supplement but could be lost at any moment. WOW - Nice beginning gathering gear, questing, grouping to get better gear, pvping with pve gear. Great game vanilla was, then they started putting in raids where you would have to spend 8 hours to get one peice of gear on a roll if you were lucky to roll for it. Great for hardcore gamers then expansion rolls out and in 1 hour a total noob gets better gear off a trash mob. All your time wasted, grinding through the same boss 15 times. I left after burning crusade cause I am not one to chase a carrot . In between add all the EQ, AOC, DCUO, WH, EVE, SWG and insert your MMORPG here. All of these are nothing but a cookie cutter of one these. With respect EQ came before WOW but WOW simplified the equation. SWG I will have to give props for world immersion and the world pvp awesome until .. someone took over. SWG was only supposed to have jedi for 1 out of 1k boxes sold / or getting all holocrons and chosen professions for your char which increased with each jedi unlocked. That was a nice deal and was a pretty much a incentive for people to log in and work on their char everyday in the hopes of unlocking your jedi slot. (now thats a carrot on a stick). Ok wel here is the constructive part of the thread. What do you think is the worst part of this game and what would you fix to save it. For each negative add a fix is all I ask. I will post the first one to get us started and if you can keep it in this format I would appreciate it Negative - Storyline is nice but the overuse of instancing is killing this game, I feel like at the starfleet I am in a visual waiting room whether for pvp or for people to log in to do a instance. Fix - Work on the world being more seamless so like in swg Tatoonie is a wide vase array where one end is seamless to the other, One good seamless planet should suffice for level 50 until you get around to making all planets like this.

I dont post but this entertaining Now I would say on a usual day trying to weave my way in and out of imp sorc and imperial agents, that I could of avoided this... altough i couldnt get out.. make a dash for the shuttle, no luck cause they were right on top of me, use my fleet pass, no luck, cast time, and everything else i had, your right after fifteen minutes i was tired of it and logged off. Look IMPS exploited the **** out of this and I will be damned if I sit back and drop my measly 15 dollars on a game that rewards cheating.. But I could in all honestly, IF the game devs stated they messed up. I believe it is a second big time screw up for GABE but he didnt own up to anything. Why he would be in charge of pvp after a very failed track record then so be it. I cancel until this gets resolved. I personally believe GABE is Darth Vader and Bioware is his Death Star both are gonna get blown up in this market both as game develeopers and manufactuers. My $15 dollars isnt alot but judging by the 158th page i am seeing will impact them. SO STRIKE ON REPUBLIC!!!!!! PS I cancelled Bioshock preorder take that to the bank as well
