When I log on I get excited. Really everything comes back to that there is always something that I want to do whether it is a class story, pvp, crafting, companions or go world exploring there is always a sense of something to be doing.
1: Always something to be doing
2: I have met good people who play this game and have fun talking to them
3: I like the look of the game.
4: Love the cut scenes and the story they all give you a sense of being important and bad ***.
5: And like I said I get excited about playing
I did take 2 months off just because I was getting a little chunky and needed to work out for awhile and you know what I missed it.

Let me stop you right there ... I've been begging my wife for a threesome for 15 years. I have no delusion that should I get a threesome it is going to cost me a helluva lot more than a few CC.
:p:p:p:pYou win
-
I would be but I am only 5 levels away from 50 then am going work on a gunslinger. Good luck tho

What do they say about a fool and his money?
Andryah is EAwares perfect customer.
I do buy cartel coins when I want something kind of like the rest of my life. But foolish me I still can afford to pay my mortage and feed my family

This may be true for you, and for some... but not for eveyone.
No, the reality is that all modern MMOs, and even MMO expansion packs, get spike pop in populations, followed by serious (though almost predicable) significant decline in populations under a subscription model in the 6-9 months after launch. It has been true of every post-WoW release (even true for WoWs expansion releases). The player population has become much more nomadic... consuming and moving on, rather then waiting around for the consumed resources to refresh. Some see it as fickleness in the player base, and maybe it is. I see it as a genuine move by the player base from farmers/harvesters that set roots down in an MMO to nomadic hunter/gatherers who move across the vast planes of MMO marketplace.
I really like this post I may take some of it for my sig. Thanks
-
You have just explained the decline in player base. How can you expect to run a successful long term MMO when there is nothing to keep the more serious gamer around?
Whats the point of having all the different difficulty modes if there is not reward for doing them? If it is truly just for casuals have more instances and make them all story mode.
This game did not start as game just for the casual gamer. There was a gear grind at the beginning. The end game gear was not craft able and if I saw someone with a black and red crystal I knew they had accomplished HM content. Even when EC came out our guild flew around fleet in a flying v formation with our shiny new black speeders after we had downed Kephess. It was an accomplishment we had to work together to complete. There was something to be earned as a team.
In 2.0 end game gear will not be craftable so take heart. PvE top end gear will have to be raided for.

Why would I use my manners when speaking to people who frequently post about how little they care for the complaints others have and who only ever speak in favour of EAware like obedient dogs? Besides, I'm not one to hide behind false politeness. I voice my perspective, I don't wrap it up and make it look pretty- too close to deceit in my opinion.
So you feel that you can be rude to someone who disagrees with you. Okay is that what you expect in return? Or do you expect them to still be polite to you? And is this only when you are behind a computer or in real life as well?
In my life I have meet many people who call it like it is but they usually take offense when people return the favor. I am not saying you are one of those hence the questions, it is just very rare in my life to come across someone who says that when discussing a topic with others they have no need for manners I would believe in life that would lead to some sticky situations.
-
Sure I'll do that. When the forum members stop supporting charging the players more and more money for things that should be in-game already. Manners have a place, this is not that place.
So when is it appropriate to use your manners if not when having conversation with another human being that has not hurt you in any way? I mean you get that Andrah is not BW right? You also understand that those that disagree with you are not the ones that had any input in this decision right? So why are not using your manners?
-
Holy cow bells you actually got a post and with a time frame. Good luck all hope you get something good out of it got my fingers crossed for ya
-
I would almost guarantee that que separation will happen and sooner rather than later. Take step back and look at it not from whether you want it to happen or not but just from a purely speculative perceptive. We have thread after thread after thread all about this subject with hundreds of posts. When questions are asked at the broadcast events that question always makes it in. The simple fact is that no business especially a game company is going to ignore it. At this point it is just a matter of when not if it will happen.
As for those that go but they will lose all the hard core pvpers well this is a casual game for good or bad they always promote it that way and they seem to think that they need to cater to that group you can even see this in the changes they make to the classes. My guess is that in 2.0 they will sneak it in.
-
Ok then. Please, tell me what upcoming content us subs are getting for free then?...
Gree Event also the Raghoul event that is coming again. How much content have we had to pay extra for? We received new war zones, operations and gear all for free last year as far as I can remember only this year have they had the Makeb thing. History shows that for actual game content all you need is a subscription for the fluff stuff yes you will need to pay. So really what is your point? Cause it comes off as if you are saying I don't like it that we have to pay for this and I am going to make up stuff to justify my anger at not getting my way.
-
33% of your monthly subscription price is returned to you in the way of free Cartel Coins every month. Why? already asked and answered by Eric.
Stop spending your free coins on cartel packs and you are good to go for all these little perky features they are adding over time to the CCM.
Quoted for truth.
-
Eric thanks for the clairfication I personally think it is a great feature and have not problems with it being on the market. I don't anticipate using it more than 2 or 3 times but those times that I do use it will be worth every cartel coin spent
Thanks again

If sorcs = pure dps, when they can change specs in the WZ?
Game is broken. Bioware knows this and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Then again you probably don't even know the etymology of that word and what "genius" really meant.
Play a hybrid healer, expect not to be the BEST at a ranged role/melee role, unless it is tank. Sorcs are not unique in this. This is the same for all classes except Jug.
Sorc's however are just too silly to see that and want to throw a pity party.
Bioware and all MMO's do this by design (even the Jug part, because no tanks = no raiding, and healers are a dime a dozen). If you want to ONLY ranged dps? Roll a sniper. Sniper = mage/warlock class in this game. Sorc = priest class. In no game was a priest ever better then a mage as dps, and when they were? Mage class was buffed, priest class was nerfed.
You are more then viable as pve dps/heals. You are NECCESARY as pvp heals in ranked, and more then viable as pug dps. You are never going to get anything more. Deal with it. Reroll or quit. No one cares. We all understand how this crap works. You apparently don't.
You have it the BEST out of all the hybrids with the exception of Jug and a really, really well played Sin. You should be outdamaging both in a pug WZ, unless it is voidstar, and even then? You should be smoking the sin by quite a bit.
Sorcs basically want all the utility of pure dps, have one of the REQUIRED ranked heal specs, all the defensive capabilities of a pure dps, and they want to keep their braindead dps rotation, friendly pull, offhealing, healing self.
Let me say this one more time. You are delusional if you think this will ever happen. I linked video of a MEDIOCRE player who BACKPEDALS, absolutely DESTROYING pugs as lightning. Sorry you aren't even mediocre, really I am. If you think you are going to tear it up as a sniper endgame or a marauder (2.0 carnage is all they will play), when you can't cut it in pug WZ's with a sorc? You have a surprise coming.
Add to all this? Marauder/sents which are a PURE dps spec, and can't respec to anything else? Have only one viable dps tree in ranked. Carnage.
You are a troll. All you do is post threads attacking the sorcerer/sage class in every way that you can I really have no idea why you even bother. You obviously don't currently play the class, you don't like the class, you are derogatory to those of us that do play the class. And yet you spend a good portion of time going onto and even creating your own threads about the class. There are classes that I dislike but there is no class that I hate so much that I would go so far out of my way as you have to constantly deride it and the players that enjoy it and or want to talk about it. I will not be responding to any posts you make in future as expecting a constructive conversation with you after your proven history would be the definition of insanity.

Sadly I have scrapped my sorcerer and have just rolled another class. Love the sorcerer class and the story line was terrific but as dps just has no place in pvp. Yes some people play a dps spec in pvp even in rateds and do okay but no one can tell me that if you replaced them with another good dps class the team would not do better. Those dps sorcerers still doing rated are there because they have been in that spot for awhile you never ever see a rated team asking for dps sorcerer just does happen. The fact is that if you play a dps sorcerer in pvp then you are doing it because you love the class not because it is a good class to play.
With 2.0 and the changes I don't see anything really changing the damage output of Lightning will be better but the turret style will still be in effect so unless you have a team with you it is not going to be really viable. Then you have the nerf to crit and armor so yeah pretty much a wash. For pve content you still can play it though you are not going to be the most wanted you can still get the job done but for pvp I just see them dying out a little more every month.

You talking two different bugs it is like saying the whole hood down thing should be fixed sooner...differnt bugs take different times and some are so embedded in the code they cannot be fixed. Lets say the Ilium is like needing an oil change while the Foundry is like needing a new engine both are problems with your car but the amount of time and energy you need to fix it are wildly different. I do not think BW is just letting it be because they don't care about it down that path lies self delusion.
-
I have a hard time wrapping my admittedly small mind around people who are saying this is the most fun they have had in this game. If that is true you really should find another game. When grinding the same mobs over and over just to get to 50 is the most fun you have had it is definitely time to evaluate how you use your free time and if you want to continue to play this game.
Now as for the point that this was a community building event that allowed a swell of good cheer that radiated sunlight out of your monitor and cured cancer with its holy light. Well I can not imagine that it was all that and if you want to group to level you are actually encouraged to do so even in ops if that is is you bag. You see groups of friends that band together to level new characters all the time nothing is stopping you from making a massive group. Well the fact that no one wants to do it is stopping you.
It is true that this kind of thing is not hurting me in any way shape or form the fact is I can't understand why anyone would want to do it but that is par for the course in life as well so what ever. However the devs have said it is not intended and they are stopping it so to those that are asking how this leveling is different than pvp leveling well one is intended and the other is not.
And the my end point is pretty simple games do not allow these kinds of things no game does. You want the levels then you have to play the game the way they want to to play no go to 50 button.
-
Fair does, but until BW manage to split PvE and PvP trees they'll have to meet somewhere in between, and as of right now PT and VG are ludicrously easy to play in PvP and get massive damage numbers. Even in pre50 they can do about 3-4k damage in like 6 seconds and that's not using anything other than Flame burst ( a cheap non-cd skill might I add)
What your post is saying is that your play experience is more important then his. He has to deal with a spec that is unplayable so that PT's are harder to play in PvP and perform worse. Why is your play experience worth more than his? We can argue nerfs and whether they are necessary but this nerf screws over an entire playing base for this class.
-
CGC makes up about 1/3 of my damage. I don't PVP, I PVE. The 50% damage nerf to CGC is really big/unneeded for PVE Pyros like myself. It's also a nerf to Pyro Mercs.
To those saying a nerf was needed look at how it affects other players?
-
I had this same problem checked my map when through all the rooms everything. Finally found the damn thing much easier on the Inquisitor ship to find.
-
As a customer or Star Wars: The Old republic, I APPROVE OF the implementation of any Cartel Market items that DO NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT MY GAMEPLAY.
-
Okay as the guy said get the War Hero gear but don't get the Rated Gear as it will not be worth it. As for augmenting I recommend getting some decent orange gear augmenting it and moving the War Hero stuff into it in the long run it will save you. As for the cost you need to get the Augmenting 6 kit which sells for like 30 to 40k on my server then you need the augments all depends on which ones you get for the price but between 50 to 100k if I remember correctly.

QQ all day long this is like the 5th thread on the Rep Grind think. The Rep you can earn and buy is for and from the Cartel Packs. It will not affect the Gree event, Voss or any of the other stuff it only affects the the Cartel Market and really why should you be able to earn Rep for the Cartel Market any other way? If you want the shiny speeder you have to consume the content in this case it is Cartel Market stuff.
As for the rest.
1:Yes they said coming soon and a lot of stuff is not out some of it will not be as they have said other projects have come up or the original idea is just unfeasible currently i.e. Space Project.
2: Cartel Items do get a lot of updates which I actually like as you get to see some new looks.
3: Crafting for low levels rarely if ever changes this is just a fact it would be like redoing the voice overs that content is done and over. They would have to recalculate all the crafting all over again that is just not happening. You want new crafting it is at end game.
4: It is probably a ton easier to crank out new outfits as most of these were probably already done and were just waiting to be put out. They are not going to add them to loot for raids as it would make those things unobtainable for a lot of users by having it as pay for it or go to the GTN it makes it available to everyone. You want to get it then get it, seems ultra fair to me.
5: Cartel Market is not pay to win thought I would just give a shout out with very few exceptions there is nothing in the market that will increase your power all of it is cosmetic those few exceptions are not ground breaking.
6: Bugs are very difficult to get rid of and you do see them working on these they may not be the ones you want fixed but they are working on them. You see it in the notes section all the time, don'f freak out you do not know how difficult that bug is to get out and I think in some cases impossible to get out without major overhaul of the system.
7: Server transfers may never happen.....there I said it. They have discussed the problem with them before and there stance just like cross server pvp ques. Time to realize that it may never happen at the least it is not on the horizon so if that is a deal breaker then I am sorry.
8: Dual spec may never happen especially as you can get the Legacy perk of field spec. Given that they have this ability out there my guess is duel spec is dead. And yes I understand it is not the same thing.
9: Romance options have been expanded in a way with Makeb as for the rewriting of existing content that will not happen again it would take a huge effort and an overhaul of the existing content. I just do not see that.
Most of these are pet peeves I get that they annoy you and or you really want them. Some of them will happen others won't but hoping for things without thinking about if they even are feasible or not realizing that things like this change just lead to nerd rage.
Eric thank you again for the post and I appreciate your continued willingness to get flamed and insulted. You sir are a masochist after my own heart

For me I think a lot of people who have more time to play and clear content faster so they get bored for me I have been playing for about a year and below is still stuff I want to do.
1: Get my Bounty Hunter up to 50 with all my companions "pvp mostly so that is a challenge lol"
2: HK-57 I would like to get it sometime.
3: Gree event armor I would like to get that as well.
4: Get all the datacrons on my Bounty Hunter.
5 Defeat all the world bosses
6: Finally get through all the Flash Points in story mode "Again I PvP alot"
7: Would like to go to an event like Pot5 had the other night that looked like fun.
8: PvP more with more wins
So looking at the list I see some stuff that has to do with my Bounty Hunter and other stuff that kinda of has to do with all my characters. I can see that many would think this is a grinding list but really this is all stuff that I am excited about playing through so for me it is not like grinding at all. The Gree event I see as more grind worthy as I don't really like the event I just want the armor.
I think some people just want the reward and grudgingly do the content and others just enjoy the content, for me I enjoy the content when I pvp I don't just do it for the gear I do it because I like to pvp. Same goes with going through the class story I don't really have to I could just pvp my way through but I like to see the story and get the companions.
:p:p:p:p
