they were making a battlefield type starwars game with space ships, atats, hover tanks etc, looked like a blast. but sadly....they cancelled it.

theres a player, made a website. dulfy.net i think maybe something close. excellent tips tricks and video fly throughs. i too have all level 7 space items, and have a ***** of a time doing the high end missions, you really cant make any mistakes early on, need to do the emp and other bonus skills in a certain order etc.... i tried to run far cradle strike, maybe 20 times before i looked at a fly through. after the fly through maybe a half dozen more tries and i completed it. itll happen in time with repetition'

i cant check right this moment, but i do think datacrons are part of the new achievements listings if you look in our achievements section of your legacy window.

let me explain it in simple terms. BIOWARE took skills away. bioware then refunded our skill tree points. bioware also added skills. to both the tree and the skill trainer. players HAVE to pay to re buy skills from skill trainer. and some times there are many levels of skills to buy that we already had paid for. thats the problem he is saying. bioware should have paid it forward and let us get those skills for free. they took the stuff away they should have fixed it up before. i agree fully with the player. and its not like the skill tree and skill trainers are the only issue people are having with a supposed expansion thats been in the works for over a year. hat has been on a public test server for eons..... oh well. go bioware no matter what you do your still part of the worst company in america.

no he is not, they cheated and exploited the mission turn in feature to become instant level 55. they powerleveled toons before bioware nerfed that during the dbl exp weekends on ilum. and saved ALL the missions to turn in today. poof. wonderful game, such balance. take skills WE PAID FOR WORKED FOR and did not refund the creds, but now give us many many skills to re buy. they really upped the charge to travel around the galaxyand added tons of other credit sinks. no people were level 55 without leaving the fleet. and never going to this new planet. ridiculous that this mini dlc took so long to make, must have spent all the money and time and assets on the planet. oh well my sub expires in 12 days and my bank is processing the fraudulent business practices refund so all is well in my world.

welcome to the wonderful world of grind...or as most of us call it...a MMORPG. main story with side tasks to extend time between main quests or provide exp. idea behind a rpg is for it to take a bit of time. and with that comes repeat fetch and or kill quests. at least we get to role play a bit and have actual convo choices. and that being said i dont see waiting weeks for 1.3 to even hit the test server is something im willing to pay 15 bucks for. nope cant bring myself to do it, and then even when 1.2.5 hits im not going to pay to play more legacy alt unlocks............ yeah i am not on the fence ill check back after summer see if 1.3.5 is ready for the test server in september.

no they said that server transfers were a better implemented first step. as cross server lfg means you play with randoms , not people youll run across in a single server, forming connections, and community. "but mah servarz ded!!.11" yes which is why server transfers is coming, it will make more sense once it comes out, but its like this, you move the people onto servers to promote the mmo part of the game better. close off dead servers after. then once you got 250 people on a server at any given time 24/7 a same server lfg tool is the way to go. 50 people on server A ans B and C and D and E and a cross server tool.......dosent help the server of 50 to go anywhere or do other things in groups or have a very good economy. but servers with 500 players has a much better economy, and a more robust community. server mergers? no, that dosent solve the issues either. it just puts two servers together, which dosent mean much when server F has 24 people and server G has 42. larger server caps and same server LFG is the best logical way to coalesce the population while retaining community and economy. the PROBLEM is that bioware isnt moving fast enough for a few people (me included) and with 1.3 not even hitting the test server "for a few weeks yet..." not even close to showing a urgency or a care that a lot of people are simply not interested anymore. i agree with a lot of people more content in a timely manner this is not. for a non new content patch heavy on quality of life features and a non communicative developer, yes they are you can babble on about your pod casts and dev q&a all you want they all say the same double speak no hard data or timelines. not even a month or part of a month. so eventually sometime down the road, when bioware gets closer to the 500k population mark it desires so they can stream line the maintenance and still be profitable then they will move faster to retain that base half million subs. thats the bottom line until they approach that 500k mark which is what they need to remain in the black..... expect the same ho hum, "soon, sometime in the future, when we get to that point on the whiteboard, its a possibility, thats a great idea we will look at it, we cannot give a set time as we are still testing it, blah blah blah yada yada yada, insert double talk waffle comment here" its sad, it sucks, and i dont enjoy it or think tis what we the paying players deserve, but thats business, as long as they are rolling in cash, they dont have to move fast, a hundred subs here drop? no sweat, a thousand people this week? pshhh drop in the 1.2 million bucket. big picture folks, get the noses out of the forums and realize, bioware loves its creation, bioware wants to do everything we ask, but tech and time and code restraints or what most people call reality means we gotta wait until its ready. one thing we dont have to do though is pay to beta test this game anymore or pay to wait for weeks and weeks so we can finally move to a larger server. im not going to renew. no reason. maybe next year...wait summer and fall AAA releases...yeah bioware missed the launch window for this next patch. it is all going to come too late for me and a lot of people, but it wont matter as they can lose 250k players tomorrow and still not come close to the 500k they need to stay in the black.

the title mis leads this isnt new news at all. i mean maybe to the OP its news but to others with a link to the industry already heard all this a while ago. i guess people just dont pay close enough attention anymore. not a long enough attention span i guess.

its a cartoony clone wars-ish sid escroller for phones and tablets, maybe xbawkz live. enjoy your new star wars game roflmfao. spike dropped vid on new teaser commercial for e3. yea! side scroller phone game yipee!

hurry up bioware this single special snowflake wants something NAO!!! you better get D.E. down here with this individuals chocolate milk before they turn blue from holding their breath!!! quickly bioware jump and react to this single person who claims everyone thinks like he/she does. are you listening bioware you might lose this free month players free sub, if you dont act RIGHT NOW to this one players demands and desires for a video game!!!!! hurry quickly bioware close this topic

thats one of the best questions ive seen about 1.3. and it compelled me to log on and say so. i too would assume armor scales with companions.... though bioware did say the armor can be used in pvp..... companions are not pvp..... yeah not going to assume now, i know how it will go. ill buy social armor for everyone...then it wont scale with 1.3.... sigh. good question, why dont you go find the Q&A section and re post it there....thats the best way to get a solid answer.

the game really needs less of the people this guy talks about. industry analyst weekly podcast vocal minority and quiet majority. lol. also the game does need wookies, cant go wrong with more wookies.

You know i'm done here. i have lost the ability to be a upstanding member of this community. everytime i come to these forums, i find myself drawn into those topics that are designed to flamebait people into the argument. and i fall for it, i just hate those kind of people. maybe its the constant repetitive same topics over and over. posted by people who come here to rage and complain, but cant be bothered to even check if the issue was already resolved. or the people who dont even play the game, but post long diatribes about they read xx on the forums, or saw xx on some random guild website so it is now supported fact. complete and utterly mentally draining to even read half of this stuff. i would dread logging into work as a mod here......seriously i feel for them. im not unsubbing. im not insulting anyone im simply sharing how i feel and how reading forum posts here makes me feel. its the whine to be perfectly honest. too many people just whine about the littlest of things. the community asked for more servers because "it takes too long to q" so bioware gave us more servers. couple months later even though people were against adding servers because after the initial game opening month people would drop off. most mmorpgs players know this by heart and have experienced it several times over. now its servers are low pop merge nao! again they are going to do it in bioware time. i for one will happily wait for the chance to move servers. but the number of posts and repeat topics about it well.... too many. too many people who reply in those topics that cant search google for the answer.....early summer. so to close, i simply cant waste time on these boards anymore. i cant find anything nice to say anymore. patience with this community has ranout. not the good players or normal posters faults it is me and my inability to put up with ludicrous people who have not the first clue about this industry or how things work in a community, or how to post your system specs in spoiler so it dosent run on and on. so i ran across this vid today...thought it was relevant to the topic and it talks about swtor and bioware. and so ill leave it as my parting shot. this guy is 100% on top of the industry, and he dosent pull punches. >>>> top industry analyst weekly vidcast i watched this and low and behold i become what i despise, when i reply. and that folks means its time for me to move along. good bye so long and thanks for all the fish.

given nothing? ROFLMFAO, you must not read anything bioware posts then. since before patch 1.2 common knowledge available to anyone, early summer, limited transfers to start. how is that nothing? if you are sitting on this topic hoping for info roflmfao you should have expanded your web site reading maybe listened to a pod cast or two. lol. wow really bioware has given the community nothing right? wow im stunned you actually posted that as fact. buhbye too bad you left ;( youll miss out on all the goodies coming down the path. oh well less lag for others i guess.

no merges who told you merges wheres the link to the post where bioware says server merges in 3 months? oh you mean limited server transfers coming in early summer....i see what you did there. and yes im sure the game is dead with over 1 million active subs. sorry snowflake i think you are posting out of angst. relax its a freekin video game.

so go work for bioware and get it done its so easy. no one is concealing a date, what kind of tin hat troll stuff is this? early summer limited tranfers to start followed by a paid system after. whats so hard about that fro everyone? not good enough? you want date and time so then it can be pushed back and all you all can cry about bioware failed to make the promise to me. BS, no developer gives exact times and dates unless its a firm thing. thats common practice in ALL inline video games no need to reinvent the wheel and give out dates that may be pushed back......making the company look worse....

early summer limited transfers to start followed by a paid system. how is that called nothing? and for that matter the early summer date has been announced since BEFORE 1.2 went live... you should try to search more or even google search. as your statement of "bioware says nothing" is entire;y misguided and false.

if you would bother to search or read the devs leavings you would know this topic is beat to death and the best word is early summer limited transfers. thats it. inb4droid

game is great, the story line quests and the star wars theme are spot on. sure there are a bunch of little things, and there are going to be a bunch of doomsayers and people trying to make fun of you. but you obviously can afford to play what you want when you want. youll get your moneys worth if you enjoy the class stories. that alone was worth the price of admission. as for the download.....so many things to do and so many questions and answers before forming a conclusion..... cant help ya there. i havent tried the republic side of the game, so take this all from empire side. crafting, humor, engaging story and challenges on all planets. a lot of similar map structure, but you can only go so far with a game like this. please take this tip to heart : PICK A HEAVY POPULATED SERVER ! ! ! let me repeat: PICK A HEAVY POPULATED SERVER !!!!!!!! seriously save yourself the grief of a low pop hard to group server. if you enjoy player vs player, there are WarZones and a neat twist on future space soccer you might find yourself in a lot. progressive raiding, crafting economy, speeder bikes and pets. and then on top of the run around game theres a space combat part thats pretty fun, and a challenge once you get leveled a bit to get all the bonuses. the leveling is fast, youll enjoy yourself unless you get some bugs..... if youre like most players you understand huge game with too many sub systems = a lot of software bugs. most important of all. have fun. jedi or sith, bounty hunter or smuggler. youll have fun if you enjoy mmorpgs, and if kotor was good for you this will satisfy. 3 game tips.... control + U twice clears your user interface, its really customizable and has like 4352 little elements....i jest but youll see, so control + U twice works for a lot of UI issues. 2 if youve played games like this, if you pick a pvp oriented server....you will get ganked doing some quests as they do share mission waypoints between factions on some worlds and last but most important....do not pick a low populated server look for heavy, youll have more fun. at least a moderate server stay away from light ones of low pop. check the server forum here glance thru for active server with tons of posts...... have a good time

really? you obviously missed all of the stuff on the news page hunh? dev tracker? pod casts? twitter? but ok deafening silence from bioware right? they dont communicate? what do you want a personal breakdown from the ceo in your in box? please. im totally up on whats coming and whats going on and when things are going to happen, i find out , i look it up, i actually read or listen to it, and then i come to the forums and see all these topics full of false info and assumptions. its too bad all the kool kats went off and created off site forums and discuss there, but to be expected, as these forums are overrun with the "*cry* bioware fails, bioware didnt add this like I wanted, bioware nerfed my OP toon so nao game is broke i dont wanna play balanced i wanna OP.... heres a enlightening thought folks....... this is how a mmorpg works, everyone. and this is the face of todays game forums, full of qq and rage, while the real players, make off site places to have talks about the game we play. come to these forums for fun and lulz. goto the main site for current data and links to everything relevant.

[*] trolls who make thigns up to try to get others on the bandwagon. [*] people who complain about what ever the first topic on the forums is. [*]people who think personal opinion is the final word in the game industry. [*] people who expect a fps game instead of a mmorpg. [*] imagined copy pasta complaints from other topics posted as facts to support a straw made argument. things ^^^ like these are whats wrong with games in general today.

so you enjoy staying behind on a dead server and complaining everyone else left.... got it. oh and it is your job to make sure the server you pick has decent pop not biowares. they just need to provide the server its up to you and the other players to make it a go. bioware dosnet need to hurry anything. there are plenty of other players who go on our ways playing and paying A LOT more than the small minority of stubborn players who refuse to do anything proactive to solve a issue as simple as re roll. lol, please bioware take as much time as you need to make sure LIMITED server transfers go smooth, or else disable the forums when you do release a rushed system. oh and remember folks its YOU the players who ASKED for nay DEMANDED "moar servarz nao or i unsub!!111" because you players cant stand to q for more than 3 minutes. THATS the reason you have LOW POP servers, all the burnout free month with purchase trolls spammed until they opened more servers than quit. MONTHS ago. the game population has stayed the same for the last 2 months. just people moved to more populated servers leaving the ones behind who WONT REROLL...... so please. take all the time you need bioware, your paying player base is happy to wait for a while longer.

nope im fine with what we got so far. now if you said when i craft a armor should i be able to add say a color gem to the schem and then choose the armor color myself>? or at least the base main color and then when unifying, my gear would look spot on? then id say yes please, but im totally satisfied with unify to chest. and to be honest here, while im sure you mean well and wish for more customization in the game... at this point there are a lot of things that bioware should prioritize. cosmetics isnt a priority. and shouldnt be. in the future though i would like to see a more fleshed out customizing system. or maybe even color choice for chest when you first equip, or a npc that you talk to and then you step into a chamber and poof, new color. i know on my BH ship there is a couple of static elements that could become a paint booth

well see ya , i say this coz you aint getting mergers. in early summer we get limited transfers, followed by a paid system. or maybe some incentive transfers to re populate servers. your opinion on the game is not even close to true factual commenting. over 1 million OTHER players seem to have a larger voice than you few doomsayers. im sure bioware wont miss your 15$ in the ocean of million plus other people paying 15$. no mergers, if people would simply stay informed we wouldnt get posts like this one. no mergers bro, never once did bioware mention mergers. thats you all who keep making repeat topics and crying about low pop. it was crying about q's that caused this low pop situation. bioware adds servers due to customer requests, shortly thereafter all those burnouts quit playing and pops dropped, as people moved around and people populated other servers. now its crying for a function that has not been brought to light....mergers. well sorry , limited transfers, thats what we are getting, stop with the lies, stop with the mergers and free for all transfers these things are not whats going to happen. btw i see some people who have been posting complaints for MONTHS about the low pop problem...MONTHS, you would think instead of wasting time crying about it people would re roll and level a new toon like hundreds or thousands of others. then when transfers come live move your toons to the new server....... but wait thats too logical and then people could not get the daily fix of qq and posting bs......they would have no reason to cry about the population. the sooner they release transfers the sooner you all can find something new to complain about...

thank you for your opinion, i could go on and make several points and offer several examples in counterpoint.... but i refuse to exchange witty remarks with people who have not the first clue about building a video game. you sound like an FPS console player taking the first steps into the PC gaming world. welcome sit down and absorb...shhhhhhh close the mouth open the ears youll learn more. please enjoy your bliss whilst the remainder of us go play a video game on a computer sitting in the real world with other real people..... not some fantasy romance novel with you as the star. theres role play servers for that. . <<<< ill just leave this here for example. oh heck why not another gem sigh.......
