- Dodgy animations, especially when strafing - Dynamic events aren't new or original (WAR), plus they reset and don't actually affect the game/landscape. - Structured/Instanced PvP is pretty shocking, especially in 1v1 as it usually ends in a stalemate until someone else joins the fight. - The downed mechanic adds nothing good to the game, its a hindrance, especially in PvP. Zooming in when you are downed makes it even worse. - There is a pretty noticeable ability delay, and no I don't think its lag. - Voice acting is horrible - Having cut scenes in front of a static background is lazy work and doesn't make you feel immersed in the game. - Getting rid of the "holy trinity" was a mistake IMO. - The classes are too similar to each other. Ranged doesn't have to be ranged, melee doesn't have to be melee, in the end there is nothing distinctive about each class (apart from maybe the engineer) - The lack of abilities is shocking. - the lack of shift modifiers. - The dodge mechanic, clunky especially under the default double tapping the move keys (lol) for PvP players you end up doing movements you do not wish to do. - The "boss" scale bugs a lot. - Socially the game is awful, no say or yell, just local which barely anyone uses. that's what I can think of from the top of my head. Edit- Oh and to top it off, arena net will slowly kill the game off by introducing a TON of expansions in a fairly short amount of time that will segregate their playerbase, like what happened in GW1.

What model is GW2 using again? also...

I've played the GW2 BWE. I must say it was extremely underwhelming and has been over hyped so so much. I actually renewed my SWTOR sub today and have been enjoyed every minute of being back. A lot of people in GW2 are having buyers remorse, some people admit it, where as some people are so stubborn in their belief that GW2 will be such a good game (because they invested so much time in research, waiting etc) that they refuse to acknowledge its downfalls. If anyone wants me to break the games short comings I will be happy to do so.

No, but coming from FPS games, I would never unbind the S key.

I am gagging for some duels, but its next to impossible to get people off the fleet and somewhere else to duel. make it happen BW, I need something to pass the time!

borrowed this from me

Maybe we should mark everyone that is not a healer, and then attack the people who aren't marked? This is a ridiculous thread.

Typical Straw man arguments. It's a name of a genre of game. Who cares? Queue solo. Problem solved.

Didn't bother reading the rest of your posts, but the bolded underlined bit has been addressed in patch 1.1.5. They are increase the valor gain significantly. can walk away with atleast 2K valor per WZ soon. edit- medals are also being addressed in the next patch. you stop getting valor after 4 medals, but you get 500 valor per medal.

lol Please don't comment about things you don't understand. the "tank" specced shadows/assassins you are taking about aren't actually tanks. We get our damage through wearing DPS gear. If other tanks wore DPS gear in PvP you would see similar results. Obviously when shadow "tanks" do this, our defensive rating drops. p.s. we also wear cloth.

400~ life per tick is hardly something to get excited about. Sure it helps but it's not OP, and neither is the damage when you can easily interrupt/stun/LoS

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=317352 Read this thread, some good theories in there.

that's pretty much my role atm haha. if its one guy, 9/10 times I kill him, if its 2 or 3 I can delay them capping for a good 2/3 minutes.

hes not allowed to attack you if you're trying to cap the turret right? thats cheating!

If only every class had a low CD cleanse ability that was spamable.

power generator or shield? been currently rocking the shield gen but I've been told its not worth it. Thoughts?

I've had maur/sents/shadows vanish on me while project was mid animation and has actually left the rocks suspended in mid air. I was thinking that if I had shock the hit would of registered and possibly would of died before vanishing.

It's a terrible system. Yes you can interrupt one healing spell, but they can go right ahead and use a different one. Interrupts should lock out the entire spell type.

Don't forget about time difference, peak times are important in this game atm. edit just saw your reread your first point, in that case go for it.

Oh its this guy again.

I will reference this thread in the customer support forum: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=317352 You briefly mentioned in the last Q&A about improving performance, however certain individuals have done a lot of work in analysing and trying to find work arounds with performance issues. The main culprit for these freezes and performance drops seems to be centred around the swtor_main_art_fx_1.tor file. When loaded onto diskcachearena it vastly improves performance, however why should we got to such lengths to make our performance better? Why should we rely on the hardware to power through poor optimisation? I believe everyone gets performance drops, even the high end machines, but fortunately for people with top end computers, the drops are bearable as their machine can bulldoze through it. TLDR - Can we expect to see better engine optimisations, so that RAM is used more effectively?

I've lost a Civil war 5-0 as a repub. we were winning with two turrents and we would of won if we still had 1 turret up. However the turret did an extra tick and we lost. Seriously. Haven't seen it with the new patch though, havent played that much since tuesday.

Resolve would be ok if snares didn't completely ignored it.

people leave and they get replaced. /thread
