This is just what I heard, and the poster below sums it up. I still enjoy the game. I can't comment on the F2P model yet as I haven't tried it. So I need to go by what I hear. To be honest the negative comments are what you will always hear most. I was hoping to get some positive feedback on the F2P and I did. Glad to see it is bringing in some new people and they enjoy it! I look forward to leveling with them and helping them along.

If you didn't like it before, you prolly aren't going to like it now. I think the game had made good, not great strides. Especially all the end game content that got fixed! I hope they have a bigger expansion planned!

In Soviet Russia, SWTOR no speak English. English speak must you to play SWTOR!!! <-- It's kinda like a russian yoda trying to do the In Soviet Russia joke? Fail... But I still support a Russian Language pack so the Russians can play!!! Russians made for some mean Pirates in POTBS!!!

What would they do about a headslot? If it did, you should be stuck on Tatooine and be forced to roam around fighting off sand people and scrapping together goods from old worn out droids. +10 to your haggle skills as well. Though many bounty hunters will come back wanting to kill you for selling them broken down old junk. <-- Totally new game mechanic.. therefore... will never happen.

I'm not unsubbing, I'm not anti-F2P. What is does is give players a really in depth look at the game as a decent try before you buy. I hear many people saying that the game is pay-2-win. Well... yeah. I would expect that. If I am subbing $15 a month I wouldn't want some F2P dancing bear newb to be bouncing around in full War Hero MKII beating me to death. I get the gear restrictions, I get the fine line EA/BioWare had to walk with this. But it kinda killed my hopes for more pops on Pug quests and PvP War Zones. F2P 1-50 was in mind mind supposed to bring back old players and allow people to level toons to 50 and THEN the heavy restrictions would hit at 50. I was dissppointed to see so many restrictions on the new players. The need to purchase UI? The need to buy Sprint? I wanted new players to come into this game and say... Wow, this game is kinda cool! It's fun! All I hear from new players is about how restricted the game is. No new content was added. Same Grind all the time. I realized many of the people returning were already upset with the game before, and even if they had added a carnival of new content these same people would not have been happy. Still I wonder about the take for NEW players in the game have? Someone brought up a good point. You get 3 War zones, all of them are Huttball where you get trounced by Subs, because you have no idea what's going on yet. Then that's it... would you really want to pay for more of that? I want people to be able to try ALL of this game. I want new players to have a good experience. I don't want my friends and new players to be routed and run off by people who have been playing for almost a year. F2P needs to be protected somewhat to have a good enough time to want to play more. Not bashed in the skull with a grav round kicked in the nuts by a Smug and told to go sub. That said, big thank to those in this community who are taking the time to help new players out! You guys are all making the game just a bit more enjoyable for everyone when you do something nice!

They fixed it in this patch! Now I am really going to be confused when I look up and try to figure out who's winning!

+1 to this guy's post and all who agree. I removed my proton torpedos as well because it was horrible trying to use regular missles after adding PT's.

*sigh* I agree with this. While I do think so classes are OP, I hate when they completely NERF the crap out of said class. The game is fun except for PvP which is very one sided. Merely to pop imbalance. Sometime I feel that Republic only has 12 ppl queing for PvP while Imp has 50... so imps end up fighting imps, and republic gets 6 vs 8... I dunno a good way to fix that without screwing something else up. Having played WAR for years, I realize now that you CAN only make things worse...

So... during WZ's I am noticing Imps kinda lag spike away from me as if warping away from my melee damage. I do not notice this on my Smug... Difference being my Shadow is closer to combat and alot more going on in the window. Also, Shadow is level 50 so more imps prolly have cooler abilities. On a side note, I specc'd my shadow from Def. to Off. and I find myself winning 1 out of every 15 wz's now instaed of 1 out of every 30... L2P meter +1 for me!?

Thanks!

I just can't find a good way to play this charater. Being out geared in PvP now I feel like I am ineffective as a tank because I am too squishy, and I do not do enough damage to help the cause in PvP. I'm looking for a good utility build that I can run with to give my team the best chance at winning. Has anyone had success with this class? Please help! I don't think my class is gimped, just not sure what the right build is atm...

You roll imperial, and don't try to PvP on the republic side... I liked Warzones Imp vs. Imp! It was balanced fair, even, and fun! This was also PvP under level 50. So... I'm sure I could find way to complain had I been playing Republic vs Imperial. In all honesty I have found a new enjoyment for this game as long as I do not try to PvP the battlemasters on the imperial side of my server. What BioWare needs to do is create a huge push to join the light side when you start the game! JEDI'S NEED PROPAGANDA AND MARKETING!!! Cause I already turned to the dark side cause they are like China with better technology!

Every game is point, click, shoot... wow is no better no worse... I like this game cause I can have a lightsaber. I like the story mode, and I like the good vs dark choices. RvR, and PvP are seriously borked... I'm just going to try to do what I always do and play the game for what it is not what it is not. PvE, and ignore imps or Reps even exist...

Yeah you guys are right... I'll just roll imperial and join the herd...

And the award for biggest.... goes to..... this guy!

Set aside all the farming and instant valor ups, what was the real goal of this latest patch? It seems to me like they fully intended to try to force people to have to fight on Ilum. This exposed the huge problem every game has of population imbalance. Taking the farming aside, what bothers me the most is that despite EVERY other MMO having this issue, the dev team for this game just felt that this patch was right and went with it. They did not look at past games and what this has done to them. They did not look at the possible outcome of what could happen by feeding the imperial side massive amounts of Valor. What happened in this game yesterday tipped the scales to imperials so great, I don't think I will play the republic side anymore. Having moved from the game WarHammer to this is really blew me away that BioWare would make this kind of mistake with this game. If I was at the top of the ladder in making this game happen and I saw what happened today, head would roll for this. While not completely ruining the game, what you did today was ruin the game completely for the first generation of players. It will take at least two generations of players before PvP becomes competitive again. The method given to me to make it even is to PvP up to level 50 doing nothing but WarZones. This will take months of straight PvP... The other method is to grind out loss after loss on the republic side. I'm sorry but I'd rather roll imperial toons than to go through the torture and frustration of losing 19-20 PvP warzones. While I am a firm believer in organization being the key, we now get an average of 2-8 people quitting a warzone before it even starts at the level 50 range, and of course we do not have the numbers to flood back into the system to fill those empty slots so we fight matches undergeared and down 6-8 for the first 5 minutes. The quick and dirty solution to this game could be simple. Warzones should be Republic vs Republic, and Imperial vs Imperial... Open RvR should be Imperial vs Republic and capped at say 20 vs. 20... since that is about the most you'll see on one side of the republic... I can't believe how bad you guys broke this game with one simple patch... you sirs and maams, just killed the republic and made the Jedi order all but extinct about 3000 years earlier than it was suposed to happen... thanks...
