I wish I could get that far. Installing English Assets 399 gets to 85% and quits.

PTS has been online for a few weeks now and you should have felt the rage ripple through the force by now. When can we expect to test the next iteration of this colossal monstrosity? If you guys want to launch this year, the clock is ticking.

You are asking the wrong questions. Here are the right questions:
1. Why are you expending this level of effort instead of adding quality content to the game...you are actually removing content by removing skills and gameplay options. What are you thinking?
2. The current classes have evolved over a decade. They have been balanced over a decade. They are not perfect, but a massive amount of effort and feedback has gone into them. If you are dumbing them down, and are worried about the "feel" of the class remaining intact, because you are asking about it, you are again fundamentally going down the wrong path. Why?
3. To redo all the classes/disciplines and account for all the complexities that have evolved with their interactions in the content (pvp, raids, etc.), there is NO way you can deliver a product of this scope that is adequate. The systems are too complex, with too many dependencies...please show me the massive community demand for this change in direction of the product and this choice for expenditure of dev resources? WHAT DEMAND are you responding to?
4. I have played this game since launch. Played SWG since it launched before that...the comparisons to the NGE are inescapable. That was DISASTROUS and also unwanted. It was born out of a completely misguided effort to change the game because a group of idiots decided they could make the game into something it was not...a wow clone. So what is the REAL motivation here? Dumb it down to console level? Appeal to a customer demographic that doesn't exist at the expense of the current one that does?
5. How far down this rabbit hole are you going to go before you come to your senses? All the way and then try and cram it down your userbases throats? Expending all this effort in the hopes that people still recognize the class? What the hell is the point in that? Leave it alone and you wont have to worry about HOW IT FEELS to people.
Finally:
6. You are extending the level cap to 80. But classes will have fewer skills. You are going to try some shell game of picking between passives we already had, skills we already had, and choices we already had to create this illusion that MORE choice is going to be created FROM FEWER options. That is idiotic...it is obviously idiotic. The idea in an MMO is to learn your class as you level and as you add abilities that build on each other...that is how you justify 80 friggin LEVELS. So as you expand levels you are stripping ACTUAL capability. THIS IS INSANE. What are you thinking?
I think you might benefit from reading this post https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=994963
We're scratching the surface here; we're not testing something they intend to go live with.

Does this feel like a Jedi Guardian? Please explain why or why not.
I am more well versed in Vigi. Overall, I do feel like I'm playing a vigi guardian.
Is there anything that feels missing or out of place in the combat rotation?
Saber throw. I use saber throw as a focus builder and I miss it dearly. Gutting our DCD's is going to severely impact our survivability in PvP.
What are your initial thoughts with the effectiveness of the Jedi Guardian against enemies?
Despite the lack of companion survivability, I haven't had a problem staying alive during encounters in PvE. I do anticipate huge problems staying alive in PvP.
How are you enjoying or not enjoying this class?
I only intend to test Vigi since it's the spec I'm familiar with. I've only leveled tanks and I haven't messed with focus at all. My enjoyment playing the class has not diminished but I do want my saber throw back XD
-
an abillity like saber throw is a iconic abillity for a jedi knight / sith warrior and it shoudnt be and optional choice it shoud be baseline
I play Guardian because of saber throw. Even playing vigi, I saber throw and force leap to build focus.

Will we be able to level from 1 to see how this thing looks from the git?
-
So, I spammed the gear vendor and geared to 306. Thus far, I haven't found any Accuracy enhancements. Broken?
-
Comparing comp character sheets between PTS and Live I don't think it is. If you look at the sheet on PTS, the comp has no stats and live does.
-
Well, yes but I'm specifically looking at this
~Level 70 - Choose one Ability
Saber Reflect
[A] Blade Blitz
Enure
That seems to indicate that even when we get our own choice, we're losing 2 really important tanking abilities.
It looks to me like you choose between A and B and get Enure regardless.
-
A few folks are on PTS, but we don't see the droid anywhere?
The droid to get to fleet is by the speeder to the Gnarls on Tython. Once you're on fleet go to the combat training area where the knight trainer would be and you'll see a whole mess of guardians. That's where the next stop is.

My wife just hit this bug. Looks like it wasn't as squashed as expected.
-
idk about that they updated the server screen in game so it doesn't show if the population is heavy or low or moderate (at least i couldn't figure out how to show it)..
http://www.swtor.com/server-status still shows it.
-
Of all things I doubt this will be top priority.
-
They're not going to. What they have said that they would do (in a twitch stream) is that they're going to turn down the difficulty on NPC mobs so they die faster. You'll get the same XP, you'll just be moving along quicker.
-
name purge? maybe. I could do with them cleaning up the random name generator... If I choose a name that's randomly generated it shouldn't get a message that says its already taken.
-
As one of my guildies put it, at least it's not a $60 expansion.
-
Huh. That's odd, I could have sworn I got if for free when I pre ordered it.
If you got it free you probably wouldnt have needed a pre-order. Anyways.... It's all in the 3rd paragraph here
-
I realized why $20 sounded way too high. When RotHC came out it was offered to subs for $9.99, and that's why it felt like RotHC+SoR = $20. Subs aren't getting the break they got with 2.0.... and I look like an idiot.... So how 'bout them Jawas, eh?
-
I'm assuming it costs twice as much because it has more content. (RotHC had one planet, this one has two)
This has yet to be seen. These two planets could be the size of Manaan or Oricon.
-
Still doesn't change the fact that I've already paid for RotCH. And I'm paying for it again. For what we're getting I wouldn't say that it's worth twice as much as RotHC was at pre-order.
-
That's not the way I interpret what's there. It reads, Early access, 12x XP boost, revan decoration, RotHC for $20.
-
$20 and it includes something I already paid for (RotHC)? Thanks, but no thanks. I wont be pre-ordering (or ordering) until I'm not paying twice for RotHC.
-
I only use Covert armor on one toon and it happens to be a male toon. I thought the covert chest was male only, like how all the slave and dancer sets are female only.
-
This. Even if it's only for guild ships. Dummies on personal starships are nice but you can't get a whole ops grp on your ship wailing on a dummy (personal starship max occupancy is 4)
Onderon level scaling.
