[So, Bioware, how many credits were burned yesterday?]

I saw a screenshot of someone on the subreddit with all five legacy cargo bays and 9/9 rooms on Nar Shaddaa and they still had over 300 million. Whatever was dumped into strongholds and flagships in the grand scheme of things will probably be irrelevant.

 

Stuff may be a little cheaper for a week or two, but that's just a guess.

[Player strongholds? Hahahahahah]

Meh. It's EA. I didn't expect much so I wasn't let down. Other than legacy storage I'm not seeing the value add of strongholds.

[The game is failing, it has only 1 mil players log in every month to play :(]

SWTOR 3.0 the new hope.

If 3.0 is the new hope, what was/is 2.x? The scorched earth that makes us long for 3.0?

[Emperor-Norton's Guide to Watchman]

Bear in mind that this spec is still RNG reliant and contrary to its original inception with 100% cauterize

It's never going to be like that. In the last PTS the entire Watchman community (a.k.a 3 well known people give or take) voiced their disgust in regards to, and quite vehemently at that, increasing the proc chance of Merciless Slash to 100% so EA listened and kept the RNG in.

[Are the collections prices intended or a bug?]

TLDR – Rarities and collection costs are right. Item rarity icons and collections tooltip rarity are not and are targeted to be fixed in 2.8.1.

Nothing to see here but classic EA doing what it does best. Squeezing as much money out their customers as possible. Not that big a change for me I'll just continue to not buy cartel packs or unlocks.

[2 Hours and 10Mil later.......... *Update I Got Rancor!*]

For you sir

 

Can you sell weapons and items back for the same amount of golden certificates you bought them for?

[Opt-out of DOUBLE XP]

Opt not to log in for the week, problem solved!

The simplest answer is always the best . I will never understand why people would not want double xp.

[DPS Operations Leaderboards]

I like this format, but why can we only submit Nightmare mode?

[BioWare, your bug-laden operations are driving players away from the game]

You do realize that there is no Bioware anymore, other than a sign above an EA division?

Finally. Someone that gets it.

[2.8+ DPS Leaderboard]

Zah'ik - Engineering Sniper - 4/36/6 - 3m 42'080 - 4503 dps

Same AMR as hybrid. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/characte...a-7e8c9f7a3004

 

Did not play this spec since months, that's for when you try to provoke me ..

Are those live or 2.8 numbers? Either way that's nuts. 300 dps higher than any log I've ever seen.

[I5 with Sli or I7]

You probably dont know but most sites are intel biased.

It seems someone doesn't actually know the definition of "biased".

unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something..

But to understand that definition we first need to know the definition of "prejudice".

preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

Now since you say all these sites are "Intel biased" they have to have passed judgement without any reason or actual experience, but since that is what they get paid to do is to have experiences and make a reasonable assessment of they we presented with, be it a CPU, GPU, or what have you. So, since they made a judgement based on reason and actual experience it cannot classed as prejudice which therefore means they are NOT biased.

 

See, the amazing things about facts themselves is that they are unbiased, impartial and they don't require your belief in them. If you want to be perpetually ignorant and continue to think AMD makes better CPUs than Intel or that AMD makes better GPUs than Nvidia then please by all means; don't let us stop you. Continue to waste your time, money, and effort on objectively inferior hardware.

[Disabling Double XP: A Working Toggle]

What possible reason could people not want double xp for?

[I5 with Sli or I7]

If you had and AMD chip, with the card your using now it would be 2x faster even for i7.

Oh the ignorance. Intel has been pummeling AMD for years in every aspect except price. You get what you pay for though so, in a way, they are still beating AMD in price.

 

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

 

The first AMD CPU is rank 33. The second AMD CPU is rank 51. The third AMD CPU is rank 73 and that's not even a desktop CPU. It's a server CPU. If you want the third desktop CPU you need to go down another 2 ranks.

 

I've always wondered if AMD is even trying anymore.

[Elaborate Scam or honest mistake?]

IRL it's innocent until proven guilty, but in a online game it's guilty until proven innocent. Report him. EA can do way more than a forum thread ever will.

[Lettuce be real this is the best MMO on the market.]

That's highly subjective.

 

The two things that really hurt SWTOR was:

#1 EA.

#2 Having a studio who's never developed made an MMO to make such a bug name on such a big budget.

[Is SWTOR a 'big-boy' MMO now?]

unless EA decides to pull the plug on behalf of another MMO

If they did I would EA does their next one right and doesn't cheap out with some broken third party engine. But then this is EA, "done right" and "EA" are mutually exclusive.

[Is SWTOR a 'big-boy' MMO now?]

Funny but I think the hate is squarely placed on ESO right now, I genuinely can't remember a release getting such a bad response for a good long time.

Well, when you launch with a retail price, sub fee, cash shop, and you make Mt. Everest jealous with the amount of buggy and broken crap you have is it any wonder?

[Bioware: Most of your players are pvp'ers.... figure it out!]

*Looks at title* Yeah....No. Sorry.

 

However, if you mean most of the whiners are pvp'ers, then yes, you are bang on.

[Drop the credit cap for all free to play]

They shouldn't remove it entirely, but an authorization in the CM would be nice.

[Mac version Update]

I'm not aware of any plan BioWare has to bring SWTOR to Mac. When did they say they were interested in bring the game the Mac platform?

[BioWare are you trying to get your operations players to leave?]

/signed and /unsurpirsed

 

CM makes more money than actual content and it requires so much less work so which one do you think EA will naturally gravitate to?

[Summer of SWTOR Update]

Yay! Another credit sink; and if there wasn't a definitive reason to avoid doing ops through group finder, there is now.

[From WoW killers to.....]

WoW has reached critical mass. No matter what happens to it, it will still bring in billions. The only thing that will kill WoW is Blizzard, but since they love money, don't count it.

 

Same goes for EA. As long as SWTOR makes EA good money it will continue to be granted a stay of execution.

[2.7+ DPS Leaderboard]

Whenever I'm craving some invalidation this thread never disappoints. Maybe I should level up my commando or maybe start a scoundrel considering there is at least a 5 second divide between their slowest parses and everyone else's fastest parse.

[As an MDPS should I just gear my ranged instead?]

Like it was posted before in the thread you can have "too many melee", but no so for ranged. Pretty much until it's possible to have "too many ranged" they'll always defeat melee.

There will always be a demand for Inspiration in Ops groups

FTFY, but even that's not true. Remember when people we just stacking nothing but gunslingers?
