So instead it would just be who spent more time grinding raiding gear instead? Expertise is around to keep raiding gear from surpassing PvP gear in PvP content. So unless someone is going to offer solutions to this issue, it probably isn't going any where.

The problem with that is unless you actually know the end result of each path, you can not tell which one to pick. For example because I didn't know there was a romance unlock, I didn't fish thru the possible option looking for it. I made the same mistake as other did with the initial flirt option and didn't select it. How was I supposed to know that was I supposed to know that was the know that was the romance unlock. Oh well, I am sure there will add another window later in another chapter so I am not that worried about it anyways.

Well he/she does have a point. The monthly sub rate is for greater access to the game, not just the expansion. They just consider it a benefit. Now to perfectly honest, I wasn't even aware it is limited to subscribers. That does seem a bit odd, did they do this will other major content pushes?

Yeah, I forgot they send a rep to twist your arm into buying them right? Matter of fact I have been a sub since launch and I think I have bought maybe 3 items off the cartel (last time I checked I am sitting upon thousands of coins....). Again, you didn't have to spend a penny for this expansion. You choice to send money upon extras which has no bearing upon the new content at all. So, yep sound great!

Well then they totally failed because this new content costs you a whole NOTHING! You don't have to spend a single penny upon it. So yeah, total money grab right there...

Was your subscript active throughout the entire event period? It had to be active from Aug 10th to Oct 19th, if not then you wouldn't get early access. If you were, then you should contact CS and see if they can help you.

The OP may want to double check his ship for the next couple of days or at least have your new sweat heart start it for you

Odd I started the download last night when I got home from work and when I got back from a quick bike ride it was ready to play when I got back. So at most it took about 45 minutes to download and install. No clue why it it taking so long for some of you guys.

There was nothing misleading about the conditions for any of the rewards nor early access. You just made a mistake understand those conditions and made faulty assumptions based upon your experience in other games.

Well in that case, I am missing it as well as project Thanks for correcting me upon my opposites skills.

Odd, I am missing Project but I have Saber Strike (Shadow version of Thrash)...

I don't see the problem, provided you understand that some groups will probably outright turn you away unless you allow them to take a "peak under the hood".

My main is a Shadow but I have been enjoying level up an Agent, so maybe I will just skip the next 30 levels and use it for that.

Considering I only have one level 60, it will be a pretty easy decision for me to make

I can guarantee there are more than just the "10 people". After all I haven't started a single thread about it and yet, I think it is a freaking horrible idea. I just don't really care because I generally dislike the PvE content anyways.

And now no one will

So I guess I can finally ditch Bio-chem upon all but one alt and pick up a skill that will actually have some practical value now.

People constantly misunderstand the concept of MMO. It doesn't mean that we are always teamed up to defeat content. It means that while I am playing, thousands of other players are also playing right alone side me. Just because it is a MMO doesn't mean we even have to acknowledge one another, it just means we are not alone in the game. Completely ignoring the fact that SWTOR has gone out of it's way to ensure a rich solo content, I fail to see how your point has any merit.

For the same reasons they don't restrict healing to healing specs or DPS to DPS builds. It is an ability in the class toolkit and it is up to the players to use it correctly and the opposing players to counter it.

With such a productive post, I am not sure the game will survive without the OP...

Splitting brackets will probably only server to increase the wait time on matches and if you are leveling purely thru WZs, that would be a bad thing.

You clearly missed my point... I was saying that if Deception is inferior in both aspects of the game then it is needs to be improved, otherwise it is a worthless talent tree. Ideally the two DPS trees would be balanced and you would select the one you enjoy the most or the one that is best suited for the situation. As you said, this might be fixed by nerfing Hatred but then they would also have to nerf about half the builds out there... Honestly, we have almost never had balanced builds and historically one has always been vastly superior to the reset. Now it's the "DOT" spec's time in the sun. Tank, hybrid and deception have all had their day...

Not a raider myself but if deception is inferior in every aspect of the game, then the question becomes not "why should it be improved" but "what is the point"?

Keep in mind that GW 2 took it a step further and made raiding gear only slightly superior to gear earned from non raiding sources. I could craft gear and weapons nearly on par with the best raid had to offer and if I wanted legendary items, you didn't have to raid for them either. So if you want the GW 2 model, then it would only be fair to include BOTH sides of the coin.

Surprised you didn't suggest they close their accounts as well...
