Today is Sunday 04/22/2018 @ 10:10 am E.S.T. for me and I am being continuously disconnected from the server while I'm in PvP combat... I do not understand why or what is causing this? I have re-booted my computer, my network is running at 400 Mbs (good speed) so It must be the servers but what's odd is not everyone is experiencing this issue as I am in game at the moment?

I don't know if your still looking for these cyan crystals - the usual ones are almost always in the GTN - I am personally able to craft all of them with the exception of the war hero. The war hero cyan is a extremely rare schematic that was found from a pvp vendor box. I think there was like a 0.0000000000000.1 % chance of obtaining that or the purple war hero. That being said all of the others I have so just let me know.

Why on earth would you increase the " COST " for sorcs / sages to heal? To encourage a little force management of some sort? What's this B.S. excuse behind not buffing the other healing classes? What is that Bioware you all don't want to work? Oh... ok gottcha Why nerf the heals for the PT? They were fine - Balance with other tanks? Give guardian/ Jugg some way to deal with dot dmg... How about you lazy devs fix it so that tanks can't attack and hit people for 22k dmg in a single hit. You devs are the worst I've ever seen - never have I seen such a lack of business skills and development skills in a million dollar US based game or any game based world wide. You all make one fix break nine other things this is just a disgrace...

I think people would enjoy some sort of fancy weapon tuning that resembles the fire effect from season 3. Another armor set would be nice - and I think people would be ok if the armor set resembled the human torch or some other cool looking animation that would clearly show how tough and skilled they are. An might as well add a mount as well not sure what but I'm sure people could come up with something. IF anything I'd say people should throw some name titles at bioware so you don't end up with something lame like "APEX" lol While you all are at it create some sort of color crystal as well the last few bioware has offered through pvp rewards have been horrible. OH and let's also ask for some legendary dye lol why not right something that's removable and bound to legacy. Ask for it all we should - because we deserve it we work for it in there.

First - Bioware is secretly working on cross server as we speak and I know this because we now have cross server transfers so its only a matter of time ( I mean one to two years or maybe three) that bioware can put the bread crumbs together in order to create a cross server que. I do hope this is done before we all unsub or find something more ideal. Balance and Match making improvements: The design is working as truly intended so far. The issue as always is that we don't have enough people in the ranked que. Now the reason we don't have enough people in the ranked que is because we are very competitive by nature and when we see a player under performing we do our very best to teach them how to improve... LOL No we don't we chase them out with insults and we talk in general chat to further attempts to dissuade them from que'ing ranked again, because we wanna win and not have some guy cost us our precious rating. We really do eliminate our very own and then we are left with a smaller population who really get tired of seeing the same old names and faces and shortly after that the ques slow even further until we complain that we need something more again. Many people have made suggestions for improvement so far what we have is the best so far. Perhaps change how rating is gained might help? Before the big no's swing in... Listen currently if a team of ranked players lose to a better premade or better players on alts or what not you stand to lose 25 to 50 rating. I've mentioned the idea of installing a minor change. Instead of losing 50 rating for that bad game, replace this concept with a 1 rating gain. Crazy yes... gaining 1 rating for losing a game. Its not critical nor would it really hurt anyone - the winning team could gain 300 rating who cares? The lost rating is what upset's us all... If the game made this change more bad players would want to que up for ranked - and more skilled players would become tolerant of the bad players. The reason the good players could tolerate this change is due to the fact that it's not game breaking and the good player doesn't have to win the next ten games to balance out the loss that one bad player cost him. Due to the extreme rating difference between winning and losing - we wouldn't be at risk of seeing bad players take position on the leader boards either. We would see people use their main accounts more to keep their rating as high as possible - but what's really vital here is that bad have a chance to learn to become good through practice. Who knows right ?

Two to three years ago when the population was at it's best 8 vs 8 ranked was a rare site - hence why the 4 vs 4 was installed. 4 vs 4 is designed for maximum player performance in a timed match. Its not perfect of course it's fail ware aka Bioware made/created therefore we must allow room for some error such as sorc's for the win and so fourth. Regs pop more frequently because there is more room for F'up's honestly - 4 good players can usually carry 3 or 4 bad depending... How bad the other team is overall. Sometimes it comes down to who's team is worse in the end or who has the better players. Personally, I'm convinced that we have people in pvp that can't read or write. I'm not teasing or joking - I realize some don't care which is fine - you can see those guys in pvp they are the ones moving around in close net teams scoring 2 mil + per game. I'm talking about the guys we see game to game that have real trouble breaking 100 and 200k dmg. lol I've see ops on the harb use basic attack and still pull 500k in a short lived Alliance proving ground map, but yet we have players in a full dragged out Novare or Voidstar pull unbelievable low numbers with no objective points to follow. So... I believe that reading comprehension is something to appreciate today and cherish. lol 8 vs 8 ranked are of no need - the players in game that know how to read - who practice their rotation would destroy/ wreck them. The game is best left with ranked sticking with 4's lol

Bioware just needs a little time - Please be patient it's only been 5 1/2 hrs so far.... They are working towards a solutions - here is hoping they find a fix before next months billing cycle begins... lol

I have the 308 error as well as the Abort error that pops up. I even called bioware but for now it seems like an internal problem where there is nothing we can do except assist them by posting our logs and waiting for them to fix the problem they created with this patch.

Just curious can you guys carry through other operations? I mean like EC - TFB - S & V - DP - DF - Rav - TOS ? Or are these paid runs restricted to KP and EV HM ? Also if you can and are willing to carry through the other ops ( NIM MODE) is the price still the same or does your fee go up or is this offer limited time only?

An idea for a Season 7 mount - How about some ferocious looking Dragon? We have a lot of other mounts - I sorta thought people might like a dragon of some sort and it can have a fire breathing flourish as well - maybe too much for swtor but was just an idea that popped in my head. Another idea for a cool mount could be a - X - wing / ty fighter. flourish ability firing lasers ? These idea's may have been previously suggested I don't know - They all would entail some form of work and creativity so not sure if that's possible in this game but figured I'd take a leap and offer out a suggestion.

Snipers are good "ONLY" if they are in a group and have their own healer - if you play a sniper right now and go toe to toe with any sorc dps or heals you will lose 10 out of 10 times. If you go toe to toe with a Jug you will lose ten out of ten - the same if you go against and Operative /Scoundrel. The only classes that snipers can solo in pvp without the help / aid of team mates are more disadvantaged classes. ie Sents / Mara - Mercs / Mandos past that your in trouble and the odds are not in your favor and totally against you. That's the facts, people can talk all day about how people should learn to play and all that but even the top rated snipers / gun slingers of pvp will tell you - if you don't have a healer and a strong team behind you go play a sorc or something.

This comment struck me as funny ... LOL ! I mean what a clown - Sent's need a buff - Jugs - sorcs have a heal to full - hell tanks can hit for 16 and 20k and possess more utility than sents - the OP here is correct Sents are free kill garbage bags and mostly a waste of a time to play if you don't have a pocket healer. This said - Bioware has no interest in buffing Sents, nobody cares that the community enjoy's the class - this is not about what the game's community wants - we had a 300 pg forum on buffing sents and even then it took the devs six months to fix them - and get this lol the devs first tried saying that sents were working as intended lmao Bioware enjoy's buffing: Sorcs Jugs PT's They don't have time or care about: Shadow's / Sin - buffed once - nerfed 4 times Operatives/Scoundrels - never buffed this class has only seen nerfs (scamper wasn't a buff) Commando's / Mercs the least favored character in game - never buffed neither and no dcd's or attention no matter Sents / Mara's - once amoung the most powerful classes in the game now garbage ever since Sniper / Slingger- most feared character - can never be buffed - only nerfs allowed on this as well

Nothing can beat sorcs in this game.... !!! Just wait until 4.4 where sorcs gain the ability to prevent 100 % dmg - while flying in between endzones lol

I have a computer from walmart and my comp does that too me if I'm on it for too long - try re-starting your comp but overall your comp is not strong enough to run the game that's what it comes down to - I still play though lol

This sounds like a typical issue - allow me to fill in here as a stand in - pretend dev There is nothing wrong with the VG it's working as intended however feel free to make a bug report although they will never respond or tell you anything there after on the subject matter - and if you file 5000 bug reports - basically just file 74 bug reports on the matter each day and by this time next year - if you pray really hard they may fix the issue. Other than that it's all working as intended

I appreciate your advice, and thank you. I'm just so disappointed and feel that there is so much potential in this game to be something marvalious only if our devs put fourth the effort and work. Oh hell they can hire kids out of college or graphic design and work them to the bone at a lost cost with the super vision of a few decently paid upper / senior staff. This games earning potential is seriously high but they are constantly losing money and subs due to their half baked work. The possibilities are truly endless - if I had the money to buy the game / license I would - shut this down for six months to a year and re- launch it with the success it should have had to begin with.

Where is this game going? Where has all the creativity gone? Everything in this game is old news - re-skinned / colored and thrown out as new. From gear - to weapons / weapon sounds - mounts - maps etc............. I'd like to know what are we paying for in this game? No new ops ? No new gear ? Can't gear new companions? Cartel Market is old game gear merely re-skinned. Low fps - unable to upgrade cargo bays - legacy bays further than 5 windows for over 3 yrs now... Pvp maps are a joke - cross server pvp is merely on a wish list that will never happen here... Class balance ? Another Joke ... I'm mad why are we paying for this... 4.0 comes out following a Movie and our devs can't even fix the gtn for 3 months so new players are hurt by our poorly working dev team... Bioware should just sell this game to a company that cares - I can't believe our devs get paid - its tough to think I pay for this game and the terrible service we have - any other business in the real world would have fired everyone and got a real staff ... I'm just mad - and sick of poor performance.

The post wasn't about the snipers ability / utility in pve or pvp - If you read the post lol you'd see that I said SNIPERS produce garbage DPS and can't kill anything LOL Sorcs can and will face tank you all over the place and spank you silly and if you feel / think differently than jump on your sniper - I'll be the guy laughing at you while you hit ret to med cent. hahaha cause your dead on the floor - and we are discussing level 65 pvp on the harp not lowbee lol

What's up with Snipers in pvp? Bioware should delete the class lol they are such garbage... ! I was healing on my sorc and just face tanked a few today on the Harp and I laugh while they are casting or dotting me cause that class is so bad for dps output. Some might argue well sorcs are Op but I've beat snipers with my operative as well and even with my tank. I just don't understand how the class could be so bad? Bioware should consider buffing them or something cause I just laugh at them cause people play them can't dps or kill much lol

Cross server pvp has been asked for - requested - begged for.... countless times over in live streams - in cantina meetings with the devs and every where else. The sad fact is that this company does not want to invest the time - money - or resources to properly build this game or help it excel to it's maximum potential. The devs say they lack the budget - EA claims the millions of dollars this game makes is not enough for them to risk more so this game can make billions more. Some say there is not enough demand - many will counter that comment by saying there is not enough content, but the bottom line is people are pushing the blame card and at the end of the day this game is not delivering. People want more - we are willing to pay for it - the devs don't have the time - money - patience to work and make a "BUG FREE game that's not half *****ed" So we the community end up being hurt in the end, it's a sad story many of us know. If I were rich I'd make another game - this game had all the right elements to success except that our dev team puts out content that's not ready - bugged - the games engine sucks for fps and completely lacks cross server abilities - in short we need to wait and hope for someone to make this game over the right way where as it's not half assed and bugged out ... =/

LMAO this is bioware we are talking about the only word in their vocabulary is " soon " or the phrase " we are looking into it"

Yeah Bioware sucks .... Login screen / Launcher is not working..... =/

The following items are not search-able on the GTN on the Harbinger server: Advanced Black-Blue Eviscerating Crystal Advanced Black-Purple Hawkeye Crystal Advanced Purple Eviscerating Crystal Advanced Black-Purple Eviscerating Crystal Advanced Green Eviscerating Crystal Advanced Black-Red Eviscerating Crystal Advanced Magenta Eviscerating Crystal FYI - I know that the items above are not search-able on the GTN due to the fact that I put them in the GTN than searched them and according to the GTN on the Harbinger there are none in the GTN despite me putting them in the GTN and viewing them as active sales.

TO ERIC : This solution is terribly thought out sir - this is like "making a mountain out of a mole hill" You are depending on the community here to provide the answers so bio-ware can spend the next six months fixing individual GTN issues, why? There is a much easier way to fix this problem at least from my point of view - Perhaps you can take all the servers down for what ever period of time - cancel all player auctions - and reload the GTN search database to find all the current items in the game. This solution shouldn't take more than six to eight hours - and will save the community and the company a lot of time and money fixing this problem. Or .... we can watch this thread grow as people will go on to report the items that are not currently in the GTN for what ever reason whether it be a bug or just a lack of production / quantity. I personally feel that this solution to fix each individual item it far too time consuming and allows too much room for player error - which will lead to be a waste of time for our devs and will end up resulting in far less content this year for the community.

So I wanted to thank this O.P. for posting this parody on the forum. I thought this was a funny work - although I must admit as I was reading some of the sophisticated comments in this thread I was a bit surprised that others didn't enjoy it as I did. I can only assume that the reason so many people disliked this particular parody was due to the ongoing reading comprehension issue in the U.S. right now. This parody forces the audience to read - and also assumes that the audience has the ability to comprehend what was written in the O.P.'s script. Perhaps if the O.P. had used some sort of fancy animation that could sing-a-long with the script so that the audience here could fully understand its intent and purpose I think many more would have enjoyed it. Please also note that I've also spoken with Dulfy in regards to adding more animations to her SWTOR guides for some of the players here to assist in the player performance. Overall though - Nice work thank you for writing it I thoroughly enjoyed the read
