In every negative thread, 90% of the posts consist of the community flaming the TC. Outside of swtor.com's message boards, many other message boards (GameFAQs, Reddit, etc) perceive this site's community to be horribly one sided, and a laughingstock. Part of the blame when this game is fully abandoned will be in the community's hands, for being so hostile and hateful to those that aren't mindlessly praising the game. The more you mindlessly flame, the more people that leave until you'll have to have server transfers yet again.

I agree with the article. The game feels dead, no reason to leave the Fleet.

This thread is pointless. The legitimate flaws. about the game you're fighting against are in the end, legitimate flaws.

Lotro's design keeps a interested player interested for a very long course of time. Swtor's design keeps a interested player interested for a very short time, once they lose the desire to "re-roll," and have nothing but flashpoints/ops and warzones to do at endgame.

Yeah, the hairstyles are too short. This is Star Wars, not the 21st century corporate America. Let us have our long hair!

No room for constructive criticism. Mods, close this thread please.

Content is needed because of this game's design: It's a theme park MMO, the other is a sandbox. Theme park MMOs need content pumped out constantly, sandboxes really don't.

I am playing Watchman spec, and I just realized, Riposte is off my skillbars and I haven't been using it for a LONG. time. I want to ask if it's worth using as Watchman, but it seems the obvious answer is "yes." So my question is, is it so good that it should be mandatory to be used? Like, will I see a HUGE increase in DPS if I start using it again as a Watchman Sent?

Worst: Belsavis Best: Quesh Belsavis drags on too long, too many non-instanced caves in which you can only get out by wasting time fighting trash or get killed to respawn, or waste your 30 minute CD. Also, I refuse to do Belsavis dailies. Ilum and Black Hole dailies are boring, but at least they can be done a LOT faster and less annoyance. Quesh for best, because the story quest on Quesh is usually interesting for all classes, and it just gets done fast.

Weird. I transferred one character over, and the legacy level is still unchanged. Do I need to transfer ALL my characters for the legacy to override? I was planning on deleting most of them.

Alright, here's the situation: I have characters on The Deadweight server, which can be transferred to The Fatman server. On the Deadweight, I have a level 31 legacy. On the Fatman, I have one character that's level 32 with a level 1 legacy. I don't want to delete the level 32 character, but is there any way to override my level 1 legacy on the Fatman with the level 31 legacy on The Deadweight?

Anyway, TC does have a point. For most of you, PVErs, I understand the Fleet is great for you all, because it makes getting a group for flashpoints/ops easier. But for the PVP community, they'd like to see some incentive to get out of the fleet, and get some action going. That's partially the game's fault for not making any incentives for players to rally up groups and raid the opposite faction's bases on planets, though. But still.

Don't worry TC, I'm sure you'll be able to purchase him for several million credits off Legacy. Or with real money once microtransactions become available!

You don't have to keybind if it's too much trouble, ignore the keybind elitists. Although there are some that are a necessity to be keybind'd, like Throw Huttball. Set it to H.

Congrats on finally getting your MMO experience in an MMO!

Now that we're several months into the game, what's the class+spec do YOU find to be the most fun? I know Sorceror's overrated, but I have fun the most as a Sorceror with the hybrid Madness/Lightning spec.

FLIPmode is correct. Try the GTN on Nar Shaddaa. Send yourself an Empire piece of armor. The name stays, but the graphics change. Can't have Empire-looking armor.

Yeah, this is something that has really annoyed me about Esseles. Black Talon HM is faceroll compared to Esseles HM, yeah.

I didn't mean it in terms of lore. I assumed it was a given that there's Republic vs. Empire in the Old Republic era. I didn't intend for my original post to come off snarky if it did, I'm not trying to be negative, but just trying to gain some insight on what the point is. And before making this thread, I was thinking it just as Valkirus said. That perhaps the 2 faction system has just become a standard.

Faction interaction is little to none. You only interact with them in warzones. You can see them in certain planets questing, you can attack them if flagged, or chat with them locally. What's the point? Besides having the OPTION of choosing another faction with new stories/characters.

Hi, I'm almost in full Columi, and I have all these leftover Tionese crystals to gear up a companion. I want to gear up the companion that would help me, as a Jedi Knight (Sentinel), get dailies done faster. I don't like doing dailies, but they're essential, and want to get them out of the way as fast as possible. I used Doc for leveling up to 50, but is it better to use a DPS companion now, to clear the mobs faster? If so, which companion will yield faster results? Kira, Rusk, or another companion?

Miralukas can't even equip the helmet. Has there been any word on Bioware redesigning how the armor looks? Or are we forced to swapping out mods into something that looks more presentable?

I'm experiencing the same thing as well, TC. I thought it was because of the high population on the fleet, but last night, on warzones and Alderaan, which only had a handful of people and will still getting the delay.

Seriously, Pyrotech Powertechs have it so good. They should be the last ones to complain.
