Just had a few suggestions: 1. I know i've read that this will be going away, but ditch the sharding sooner rather than later. 2. A day / night cycle and dynamic weather system. 3. An RvR planet with faction bases as well as special daily quest hubs for the controlling faction as well as vendors avail to the controlling factions with unique mounts, pvp gear, Etc... 4. I think I read it somewhere that it would be happening, but allow third party addons for the game. You might be suprised with what the community comes up with. Having a blast playing the game, Thanks for all the hard work.

I think i read somewhere that the EVGA superclocked 570 has faster processor speed than a stock clocked 580. I think i read that on Tomshardware, but not sure if its true. I was eyeballing the superclocked 580 with the 3gb of graphics memory but besides the fact that it's expensive ( 550 ), I think my AMD Phenom quad at 3.4ghz might be a bottle neck for that card, not to mention the PSU, I think i'm only at 750. Thoughts

I'm running an EVGA superclocked GTX 470 right now and I am seeing decent frame rates with this game. Was looking at an EVGA superclocked GTX 570. I notice that they have the same graphics memory ( 1280 ). I'm from a console generation where graphics memory was king, ie Nintendo was 8 bit, SNES was 16 bit, etc.... Bottom line will I see a performance boost with this move and will that move be noticable? Thanks.

I agree. A target of target could be a great tool. Especially for tanks in flashpoints to see when the mob is not targeting them. I hate tanking and concentrating on something only to realize that a stray mob has killed everyone but me, lol

Very well said. I too have issues with FPS and am happy that they will be addressing the problem.

Wanted to start a thread for mature people to consolidate their ideas, in order to help BW make this game as successful as it can be. Let's lay a few groundrules, shall we: What this thread is not for: 1. Posting things like " ZOMG THIS GAME IS HORRIBAD, I WANTZ MY TROLLZ NOW!!!11! 2. Telling other people their ideas are stupid or dumb or " That will never work, L2P NEWB" 3. Class discussion - They have separate forums for that. What this thread is for: 1. Posting ideas about how to make this experience as good as it can be. 2. Intelligent discussion about said ideas. For those of you new to MMO's, and people not mature enough to understand how an MMO works, allow me to enlighten you on a few things. When and MMO first releases, it isn't finished. MMO's take years of refining various systems and building up content. That other game launched ~7 years ago, thus, it has a 7 year head start when it comes to content and community. Speaking of community, do you know where the developer gathers information about how to refine various systems? That's right, the community. So rather than hate on Christmas, spread some love and make constructive suggestions to the developer on how you think the game could be better. They won't always listen to you, but I guarantee that you have a better chance of being heard by being intelligent in you suggestions. BW has spent a very long time developing this game, and i'd go as far to say that any other MMO probably wouldn't come close to the production time that has gone into this game. The fully voiced quest lines for each individual class probably chewed up half of the development time alone. Give them time to make more content, now that the main story archs are for the most part complete, the other stuff will follow. If anyone thought that there was going to be a fully fleshed out endgame 5 days after launch, you obviously have not played and MMO before. All that being said, i'd like to kick off the thread with a couple of my own suggestions: 1. I'm no where near lvl cap, but I see a lot of talk about PvP and the such. I haven't really experienced Illum yet, but I think it would be cool to have a planet solely reserved for RvR play. You can go a lot of different ways with how it would work, but I thought it would be cool. Maybe a town for each side on the ends of the map, with special vendors and such. Maybe some kind of zone control perk for the side that controls the planet etc...the limits here are really only in the minds of the developers, but something along these lines would be a lot of fun. 2. A healer portion of the UI. Yes I used to F1, F2 heal through dungeons back in the day, however, the experience is a lot more fun and enjoyable with some sort of raid frame / party frame click heal interface. 3. Speaking of Addons, allow thrid party addon support. I understand that Lucas has a tight grip on the control of it's IP's, but allowing the community to contribute to the game in their own little way would be nice. You might be suprised with some of the stuff they come up with. We need to help BW build this game into what we would like it to be, it didn't happen over night for that other game and it won't happen for this one either. A constructive community is key in shaping the game into something that is enjoyable for all. The amount of troll posts i'm seeing on these forums is proff that this game has potential and that a lot of people bought the game. If it was just fanboi's of SW, you wouldn't see the whining that i've seen here, it would be all praise. BW has done a great job thus far delivering a well thought out experience. Now they need to keep it rolling with their added content patches focusing more on the giving the community what would like in order to maintain subscriber base. That's how the business of MMO's works, they start you off, but in the end, the community makes the game, not the developer. I hope that this will turn into a productive thread, it will probably be page 10 inside of 5 mins but hey I tried. Enjoy the rest of your Christmas.

Ya, would be nice for Christmas!
