I was thinking between unlocking Treek or HK-51 on my lvl 1 Consular and I gone with HK. Driod is a beast and available at lvl 1, unlike Treek at lvl 10. Finished Tyton very fast. WIth high presence and all class buffs , I think dps companion is more suited for leveling than heal/tank companion. For new players and their 1st or 2nd toon, Treek would be better.

Ok, so what do you think what is the reason why EA/BW didnt introduce housing so far? Imo, they must have a good reason. I cant tell for sure, but I guess it is not worth financially i.e. not much ppl interested. Also, all those "several hundred people" specifically told you they left the game because of the grind?? Very much doubt you have so much friends. "****** ton of people want more than combat option" - how you know what they want?? I understand YOU want that stuff, but m8, you just cant generalize like that, your opinion just cant be taken serious. SWTOR is MMORPG and grind is another name for it. If you dont like grind, you are playing wrong game.

You know, there must be a reason EA/BW said they wont make new class stories. Did you ever think of that? What reason could that be? They dont listen to their customers? They are stuborn? Or what? Only reason that comes to my mind - players demanding it are small minority and financially BW would make it a loss. And loss is not acceptable for profit making company, only for charity company. Hope you can understand that. Some would say they are lazy - there is no such thing in business world - being lazy means you get fired really fast. To me, it looks like you just want Kotor 3 which this game is not.

Smart words here. As much as I like story, I understand it is just too expensive to make it for content that last few hours. Few facts, in my opinion: 1. Why was ToR most expensive MMO in history? Obviously, its because it has something others dont - story telling with cut scenes and voice acting. They figured all this stuff finnancially cant fit in Mmo, mmo have other priorities, so they focused on generic mmo stuff and CM to cut down production costs to save game from doom 2. People want sequel of kotor 2 - they identify SWTOR as BW game and automatically think this is Kotor 3 which is not ofc, but keep demanding kotor design policy. Problem is people are doing it on ToR forum instead on EA/BW site 3. Class stories ( and player housing for that matter ) are single player stuff and by its nature dont belong to mmo which is one more reason they are not high in priority in BW mind

And after whole year of playing, I find out this now. And having 8 characters lvl 50/55 and none of them human, makes me even worse noob. Maybe cos I was avoiding human race in all games, they dont make me feel playing fantasy game.

So you think many people will roll 10 sith warriors just to see class story ten times? You have youtube for that tbh... And ofc it matters, it just dont make sense to make any content that will last 1-2 hours and pay animators, graphic designers, make voice acting etc. Its just too expensive for the benefit and longetivity and replayability. If you cant understand that, you must be too young or just never worked in business environment. And again, I love stories too. BW/ EA are not charity companies, they make content if it makes them profit, not to please us players cause they like us.

Today I finished class story quests on Balmorra in about 1,5 hour. And same on all other planets. Do you really believe its worth making story for such small time we actuallly spend doing it? And yes, I like the story too, but I understand its just not worth the effort from BW

Had same problem with HK- 51 - one can have full moddable gear at lvl 30 at earliest. Got cybertech, so had to make workaround with crafting blue gear for him until modded piece is available. Not best option, but hoping BW will see this flaw one day.

Dont you think asking for two new ops is a bit too much? They added two ops recently and its nit really cheap or easy to make them

You answered it by yourself. They dont want players to gear up too fast and get bored and unsub. Other games use same method. Removing number of weeklies/dailies would be better solution, people wouldnt have the need to do them all or maybe making elite comm items cost more elite comms.

Why dont you just unsub? I would definately do it if those things bother me

Agreed. Too many resources for small percentage of players who would have fun with housing for few weeks and then forget about it. People just cant forget about SWG and think ToR is somehow SWG part 2.

I heard there is +100 presence buff/perk when player gets human character to lvl 50. Im interested where in game I can see that, on which menu/tab, cant find it. Also, what perks other races bring when get to 50? Or is it just human (which would be unfair)?

Actually, class subsections are full of threads with people with different opinions about matter. No sticky where new and old players could learn about their class, no guides, just opinions, and outdated stuff. No reliable third party sites and exiting ones are aparently terrible, without any evidence why they are not reliable.

You are not very helpful with sarcastic remark. Elaborating or simply pointing to better source would be much more helpful.

I saw that on noxxic i think

Since 25% crit is needed for carnage mara, Im interested is it non-buffed or buffed crit (agent buff)?

Sigh, guess Im too old to understand that need those guilds have. During my WoW carrier, quite a few guildmembers held IRL meetings for some time, people who never saw eachother, some of them were even from different countries. And that were IRL meetings. But, understanding in game guild meetings where house customization is needed is beyond me, I admit.

Yes, in theory it sounds fine, but in practice all non-combative cricism become combative very fast and becomes offensive w/o just cause BW didnt listen every time.

Hm, what do guild members get from being in separate area? Cant they socialize just thru guild chat or voice comms? Isnt doing dailies or pvp or ops or datacrons enough for being together if they want to look at eachothers characters? Or meeting in some cantina - I doubt some player passing thru would disrupt a meeting.

Just no. People who are pissed off are people who moan if SWTOR isnt going the way THEY want it to go. Your only right is to access the servers, nothing else. How they make a game its their business, yours is only to comply or to unsub.

I would like to know whats the point in guild/player housing? Why separate yourself from rest of people? Arent single player games for that? Im sorry, but I really cant comprehend any usefulness from it, it just dont belong to MMO Like its not enough to have our ships loaded with mailboxes, gtn, dummies, rest rooms and not needing to go fleet. Even in games which offer housing, what people do there exactly? Stare at walls filled with trophies? Activating /dance emotes or whatever? Play poker? Never played any game like that, so just curious.

We dont need petition, story telling in swtor is backbone of the game. And everyone would want it. But, if I was in BW place , i would never do it anymore. Why? Simple business decision - single story last few hours and cost too much in terms of time and money. Sad, but thats how it is. Fans usually cant see that huge factor when requesting story.

Maybe you should of choose advanced class on your Trooper by now, you could kill him with no sweat

No need to understand tbh, its just people like different acpects of the game. Matter of taste and no use of discussing taste.
