  1. Here is the link: https://account.swtor.com/user/subscription/cancel
  2. What were some of the changes made in 7.0 not listed in the changelog? One of the most noticeable was that after character creation we no longer see the flyaway text in space. As stated in the 12.20.21 article Celebrating 10 Years and Looking Forward I'm very interested in what other things have been done, especially the little things like lighting, new or different facial expressions in the opening cutscenes, different designs for trees, etc. may have been done.
  3. I really like the preferred model and often enjoy going back and forth between being subbed and preferred. I have found that end game content is where I really feel the need to subscribe again. For those that enjoy the journey to level 50 preferred has a lot to offer.
  4. I have never had anything against bonus xp, but I have never wanted to be forced to participate in the event with everyone else. Thank you for letting us opt out of the experience with a crystal on the fleet. I would have been happy to pay for the option to opt out with cartel coins, but you were kind enough to give it to us for free. It is hard to describe how wonderful it is to be able to level at a more normal pace rather than zip along at 12xp. forced xp events was the only thing about the game I did not like, but it was a big issue for me and a lot of other players. Again, thank you for the option to opt out. I am currently looking into ways to opt out as soon as possible after I create a new character.
  5. I just wanted to say that I really like this latest expansion. I certainly enjoyed Rise of the Hutt Cartel, but this one is even better. I feel compelled to complete the class missions for each class so that I can so that I can see from each class perspective. The planets are beautiful and doing the solo flashpoints are quite a bit of fun too. The leveling feels just right and I don't feel under or overpowered. I can't seem to get over the new skill trees. I liked them before, but this feels so intuitive and more interesting and useful. I like everything else too, but those are my favorite things about the Shadow of Revan expansion I'm really looking forward to the new things coming to swtor in the coming year as discussed in the Producer’s Road Map 2015, especially the new Togruta species! Anyway, thanks for all your hard work on this game Bioware!
  6. Nice comment, but please leave out the spoilers for those that have not played the sith warrior yet.
  7. If you want double xp all the time then please start your own thread or join one of the others that have already been started with that exact same request. This thread is about opting out of double xp. The code to do so is simple and even if it were not the code is already in place to implement it in any of a number of ways such as with boosts, buffs, a toggle option in the settings, and others I am sure are out there. I did read your post several times and it still has the same attitude and makes the assumption that I want to end double xp for everyone or anyone. I suggest you go back and read what you wrote. For a lot of people double xp is not good and for various reasons. For me it is like having a new account and suddenly there is this event where everyone's character has had their level doubled. What could be wrong with that? Suddenly my level 25 gunslinger is 50 and I can raid and do a little end game content and I can still do all of my class storylines. What could possibly be bad about that? I'm even given some gear to go along with my level 50 character. Hooray! Except that having a level 50 or 55 character is not why I wanted to play swtor. I wanted to live and experience the majestic journey from 1 to 55 and then do it all over again with another class or gender or species or class. End game content is sorta fun, but not like the journey and now I can't do that. Well, I can, but why would I want to warp through it? It is like taking my book away and giving me the cliff's notes version instead. Isn't that book so much better? No? Well, not to worry, you can have your boring ol' book back next week, but this week everyone has to read the cliff's notes version of whatever they are reading. That is just one way that double xp is bad for me. Other people have other reasons for not wanting to be a part of double xp. I am not asking to get rid of it. I'm just saying that while everyone else reads their cliff's notes version I want to keep my boring ol' book because as hard as this is to understand, I like my full length book. Even after having read it 10 times I still like to read it. Why? Because I am still getting something out of it.
  8. I'm pretty sure he meant rereleasing embargoed items in the way the OP was suggesting. As far as the great acquisitions special it was a special and unusual thing. Will it happen again? maybe, but there are no official or expected plans to do so. "Always" and "never" in english seldom mean "always" and "never." There are usually exceptions.
  9. Thank you for making a positive thread like this one where we can encourage the fans and show the devs what we are most thankful about with swtor. I love the whole swtor universe, but I'd have to say that for me it is the voice over class stories in the game that I like best. That is what makes the game feel so immersive to me. I love the other voiced missions, both planet based and other, but the class missions are/is tops for me.
  10. Nice thread idea! Here's my top 3: Old Republic era + Sci-fi setting. (I think I can safely count this as one.) Story mode Voice Over I love fantasy, but I love that swtor is a sci-fi mmo that is story driven.
  11. It sounds nice, but I'd have to agree with the following two quotes: That and the mentoring system sounds like it has a much greater potential for problems than any of the other options I have heard mentioned thus far here and in other threads.
  12. Really? You know better. I mean your whole rant might have some validity (but not much) if anyone here was actually against double xp, but no one is! If there is someone who does not support double xp and is against it I have never seen their post. The title of the thread says it all. I just want to opt out of double xp when it is going on. Feel free to enjoy your 2xp or 10xp. I don't care. I would like to not be forced to participate in it while it is going on. That's it! For myself who prefers to play at a more leisurely pace and who role plays as this game is geared towards such players, double xp makes the game unplayable while it is going on unless I choose to play a max level character at max legacy level. Can you say the same about playing during regular xp days? Some players actually say the game is unplayable at less than double xp, and only play during double xp events, but I have a hard time taking them seriously. You are asking me to compromise when you are not willing to compromise at all? What I am asking for does not affect the xp gains you get at all or the frequency of the event. You do not have to put yourself in my shoes to understand. Just recognize that for a number of us we do not like whizzing through everything and getting massive amounts of xp for doing almost nothing. Some of us play differently and what I am asking for is really quite small. The idea that speed levelers have gotten 176 days of speed leveling taken away from you is just silly. You never had 365 days of 2xp to begin with! Please go back and reread a few of the older posts.
  13. As an American I totally agree with this statement. Statements like this from fellow Americans make the rest of us look uneducated and arrogant.
  14. Actually, upon further testing the only difference is that the double xp bar is missing. You still get 2xp and no rested xp. It was pretty exciting for a bit though. Thanks for the effort.
  15. You are my hero!! It works beautifully!! I can play my below 55 characters again!! It is hard to describe how good that tip you gave is Thanks again :)
  16. Thank you for your honesty and for not being belligerent to my position. I want to clarify on the animosity you may be seeing. Whenever someone proposes the idea of being allowed to opt out of the double xp event they are attacked continually and accused of trying to ruin everyone else's fun. I am told that I am taking away precious development resources from more important aspects of the game like flashpoints and other content and that my opinion does not matter because I am in the minority. I am told that I want to use my "decreased" xp gains to cheat and that I don't want anyone else to have double xp. All of that is untrue and is an unfair representation of our/my position. I do know of a couple of people that do not think double xp is a good idea at all, but even then I do not see those players demanding an end to double xp events. For me double xp is like taping a piece of paper over my monitor so that only half of the screen is viewable. It makes the game unplayable unless I want to play a max level toon with living legend status. I know that is not easy for someone that loves double xp to understand since we both have different philosophies about how to play, but we can respect each other's position. It really is refreshing that you are not attacking me and making wild claims about my position. Those continual accusations and attacks on my request by others can get frustrating as I try to be respectful and explain my position and why this matter is important to me. I am happy about the event and am glad a lot of people are enjoying it, but for me the event poses a rather large problem. I am not going to cancel my account because of it. If the event did become permanent then I really would leave the game permanently and I would be rather sad to leave.
  17. I hope you do not mean that we actually hate double xp. I support it and as far as I can see it is great for swtor. As you can see from the title of this thread all I want is to not be forced to take part in it. I just don't want to get double xp (I don't even like getting rested xp). I just don't see why I have to go to a party just because you want to go.
  18. I really really don't like double xp. I can't seem to emphasize that enough. It is the ONLY thing about swtor I am against. Although I will say that double xp events does give me a renewed appreciation for the normal xp we get when double xp is not going on. Anyway, as I was playing my Living Legend level 55 characters so as not to gain any extra unearned xp and waiting patiently for it to end I was thinking that a way to help would be for swtor to make double xp events a scheduled thing during certain holidays so that it doesn't come as such an unexpected unpleasant surprise to those that do not like double xp. This would also be a benefit to those that do enjoy double xp events since they will be able to better plan for it.
  19. I really like the space missions. I'm not really into galactic starfighter, but it is just a personal preference thing so I don't do it. I am really enjoying space missions and hope they don't get rid of it at least. It is an exciting challenge and a nice diversion from the normal planetary missions.
  20. This is a good news post for those that love double xp and celebrate it. Supporters and detractors of double xp events shouldn't rain on their parade. Let's be courteous keep comments about opting out of double xp in the Opt-out of DOUBLE XP thread.
  21. I'm not sure what it should be called, but an xp buff that allows you to gain xp at a reduced rate. -20% sounds about right. -25% and no rested xp is what f2p and preferred status players get and is ideal for me, but it seems silly that I should have to unsubscribe in order to get that.
  22. I'm beginning to think it is not worth discussing with him the merits of my not wanting double xp. The reasons for it and the solutions have been mentioned frequently and well elsewhere, but he can't seem to understand them and so they therefore do not exist.
  23. It leaves you in the self appointed position of judging whether our request to not participate in double xp deserves to be mentioned on the forums. If you don't like it feel free to say so, but there is no need to continually berate those that politely ask for this option.
  24. Some people really enjoy arguing and debate as opposed to trying to generate ideas and solutions. It is sort of like forum pvp. I understand and respect the mental exercise of that, but I do not believe this thread is the place for that nor is the suggestion box. I do not enjoy debate/arguing/ or pvp either.
  25. Since you can't comprehend how double xp is a burden to those that don't like it then the problem does not exist. Therefore we are the enemy of swtor and must be stopped. I do not believe you care to understand why or how double xp is a burden to those that do not like it. What is worse is that you refuse to acknowledge it. What is worse still is that you attack it because you do not understand it. As far as double xp buffs becoming a pay to win scenario that is indeed possible. I think the rules around it could be tweaked so that it does not become that way. I'm certainly willing to pay extra money to have decreased xp.
