I was trying to figure out why a tiny patch with 2 little things (1.2.0a) was over 100 meg...I think this one is going to take awhile to sort out.

So someone please tell me how to get Crafting Missions now. I made a slicer (Jedi so I can send T7 with the slicing crit bonus) JUST to get crafting missions for my other crafters. Till today I was able to get crafting missions easily with almost 300 slicing skill and my lil T7 having not much affection (less than 2k...my slicer is lvl 14). in like 3 hours of doing tier 1 and 2 lockbox missions (now a huge credit SINK) I got...ONE blue crafting mission.

Along with the cash has anyone kept track of the crafting mission % ? I used to get lots but today after about 50 slicing lockbox missions I haven't gotten a single one.

Jeez just GO already ! I have never seen such a bunch of whining babies in all my life.

I can't really think of a good comeback but...wow thats some ego you have there.

Make an alt as a slicer and get your own crafting missions. It doesnt take that long...took me maybe a week part time to get my slicers skill up to the point where I get alot of crafting missions. Pick a class like jedi knight where the companion (T7-01 in this case) gets a slicing critical bonus. As far as armstech...yes its pretty much only useful for barrels.

Everything from leasing the server farms, developers, artists, managment, customer service, interest on debt (if they borrowed to pay for development), advertising, internet access on a massive scale, electricity, offices, maintenence and probably a hundred things I didn't feel like listing or couldn't think of off the top of my head.

*cough* april fools *cough*

I hope this is sarcasm...if not your best bet is to rotate between maybe 3 or 4 games. No company will ever be able to create content quickly enough for you.

Lots of things tie in with each other and need to be released all at once not in "dribs and drabs".

Thanks now I have "Run like Hell" (Pink Floyd "The Wall") stuck in my head.

Not at all, no reason current "planets" couldn't be expanded or revamped down the road. Future planets could be more open and less linear, I would love to see a planet that was much more "wide open" with mobs and "dungeons" covering a wide level range...like say 30-50.

I don't know why WoW and EQ2 released when they did...they should have waited 7 years 'cause look at all the stuff they added after release...all that should have been in the games from day one.

Played Asherons Call for over 3 years and I sooo miss the big open exploreable world with lots if things to stumble on and investigate. I am enjoying the game but I really dislike the tiny linear planets...they just feel very fake.

No, I really dislike the microtransaction model.

You mean the same community that DEMANDED more servers because of log in queues ?

Just normal MMO over reaction/chicken little stuff "OMG ima rage quit cause of "X""...happens in every game. Three months from now no one will remember.

Sure...as long as I get my lvl 90 Ratonga necromancer from EQ2 !

/signed. We were talking about this exact thing in /guild. Everyone thought it was silly and hurt immersion.

Did you try turning AA off in the game and forcing it from CCC ? That seems to work better for me than the in game AA.

Yes please distinguish somehow between ones you already know and ones you don't.

The folks I play with...mostly old friends from EQ2... are adults, mostly 40s and 50s. Do you REALLY want to hang out with us ? Do we really want to hang out with you ? Would you be happy ? Just sayin'.

I vote no. I have played 2 MMOs that added microtransactions (LOTRO and EQ2) and honestly the gaming companies can't resist the temptation to take it too far. That "cosmetic" item like a speeder thats just a reskin...well maybe it doesnt sell much so then add a bit of speed. So now its the fastest mount (if only by 5%). And once you break the "no advantage from cash shop items" promise its all downhill. That new armor set the art department has just finished ? Hey why not give it a nice set bonus sell it and make the new operations drops just a recolor of some existing set? Once it starts the temptation to go farther and farther is irresistible.

First I dont feel strongly about this either way and I think Bioware's proposed solution is reasonable. I really sympathize with them because no matter what they do they are going to get flamed. Second...this isn't a "poll"...someone conducting a scientific poll goes to great lengths to 1) be unbiased 2) obtain a representitve sample. Your bias is clear and the forums are not representitve of the overall player base. Third are you going to keep doing this with addendums (like telling people what you will and will not accept as arguments) until you get the answer you want ?

My guess would be so all the servers have the same version all the time, imagine someone with chars on different servers that are getting updated at different times. You log in to your server that has been updated and DL the new client side update. What would happen if you then tried to log into a server that hadn't been updated ? Client and server versions don't match...they have enough headaches as it is.
