I sent in Kira first. She gets stunned, then I walk in and smack him a bit. Once he uses that AOE ability GET AWAY (I don't remember if it's interruptible) use med packs and heroic ability. He's really hard to beat because of his damage, but he's not that hard to smack down.

lol, it's funny you say this. I've often done my best to draw away 3 sith from a cap, or a crucial spot because they're all focusing me.

It can be quite hard keeping my distance in battlegrounds. What ends up happening is an OP or some sith jumps at me, they both stunlock me and bash me to death then run back to whomever they were fighting before. I drop like a bag of potatoes despite removing the stun and conc blasting them away.

So...what in God's name should I be doing? Hiding behind boulders and sniping? Being a pocket DPS for a tank/healer? I seriously don't know what to do at this point. As far as I've learned, the best thing to do is to be a major coward, hide, run, and make sure you're in the right position.

I found Redragon M901 PERDITION 16400 DPI High-Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse for PC The buttons look like they're larger. The previous one I had, had quite small 1 - 12 buttons. Very difficult to deal with. Being wired isn't a big deal (I must have a wireless headset, though )

I just came back after a while. I love PVP, but the amount of abilities to use is overwhelming my left hand. I am not comfortable with using shift + # or anything like that. I used to have a mouse that had numbers on the side of it and it worked well, but the buttons were so small. Can anyone recommend a good gaming mouse that has buttons on the side that I can bind to abilities?

Exactly.

That's exactly what this game is missing. The details and immersion.

My god, I remember the whining in WOW when we started a DKP system. People just wanted quick loot and didn't really care about the team. That's where the MMO culture started dying lol.

I don't necessarily think the point is to go back to an EQ type game but rather use the pieces of it that make it fun. I think what makes people like me enjoy a game is that I am on my own, roaming a huge world, and can choose what I want to do. The only choice SWTOR really has is choosing a dark side/light side button at the end of alot of talking.

"Republic, the most expensive MMO of all time, hit shelves in late 2011, it was structured...almost exactly the same as World of Warcraft." Lol what a dumb comment.

Same here. I have children, a house, a wife, and a job, but I would still be able to play for an hour or so a day where I could run around a world and just have fun. Having fun, to me, isn't a scripted and linear gaming experience.

Even EQ2 was cool during it's time. I remember just running up to some guy (in my faction) and using death touch on him to knock him down to steal a mining node. Lol, it's stuff like this that can't be scripted.

Agreed. I couldn't say it any better really. I miss the good old days where the entire game was just wide open and you made your own way through it.

I should really say: I can't harvest and craft myself without using NPCs. Some may not find it fun, but I actually enjoy harvesting and crafting things myself rather than clicking a button for an NPC to do it. It's how BW made the theme park concept work with crafting.

I've been in since the first beta, so I did know that it was theme parkish, but I stuck with it and leveled some characters to 50 and really checked the game out. I thought, perhaps, that I could look past the theme park style and crafting and I would get used to it. I just never did.

I don't care about bugs. Every game, every piece of software on the planet has bugs. I don't care about numbers of subscribers. I don't care about the number of people in fleet. I care that I can't explore worlds and that it's so completely linear. I care that I have to listen to voice overs when it's a quest to kill 10 womp rats. I care that I can't craft and harvest my own things. People talk about sandbox vs. theme park, and I think that's the biggest issue to me. A theme park game, that is heavily instanced, simple doesn't give me the, "down the rabbit hole" feel. I'm just not immersed into it. I would play for maybe 20 minutes and just log off to do something else. If BW can somehow expand the planets and change the crafting system, I might come back. It's not a horrible game, it's just designed wrong in my opinion.

Too bad the PVE experience feels dead.

/facepalm I swear SWTOR has the highest population of total noobs I've ever encountered in any game.

Exactly. I had thought it was single player already.

I have a problem with my companions as well. They all unsubbed and now my ship is empty (sort of like fleet)

Whhhhaaattt? Did you see the thread here that has a team of people playing totally naked in Huttball and completely owning the other team?

lol this game is so dumb

Well, since I uninstalled, I'm not sure how I can do that......otherwise sure, I would give it to you.

Unsubbed and uninstalled to make room for a new game coming out that I won't even bother to name.
