Well this event is the content for august, you will need to tune back in around September the 25th for the next content update.
-
850k or so
There is no way its under 300.000, Ill eat my vibrosword if it is.
Well lets look at some info, they have said tor needs around 200k subs to survive and f2p might be an option if subs get near that number.
It could be under 500k lets face it a lot of servers got merged into a very few.
-
350-400k max

Problem with tor is the hero engine cant handle mass pvp...look back to the days of ilum when you had big group fights...it was fun but the engine struggled to handle it.
I loved the pvp in guild wars 2 it needs some balance on some classes yes but i have never ever had so much fun playing wvwvw....
6 members of my guild even ended up buying the pre-purchase and joining me....we had a huge blast.
The dynamic pvp is a must and its such a shame tor didn't have anything like this.
I enjoy playing tor for the last 7 months but apart from that i will be doing my pvp on gw2 next month.
-
Make the weekly like the daily, games played rather then wins....peeps might stick around then even when getting steam rolled.
-
Well, people said the same when Tera and Diablo 3 were released, and we're still not closer to F2P
Level to 15 for free is a step closer.
-
We all know it will happen, the question is when...
With GW2 coming out next month they need to do something to keep the numbers playing....
We may see some information coming over the next 4 weeks but with very little info coming out about 1.4 i think it is clear that they are waiting on the green light to go public.
I don't like the idea of a EA game going to free to play.
Fluff or no fluff I don't like the idea of paying money to access a op/mission with or without a sub.
I know they are here to make money and I can support this, but TOR has to get the f2p right and make sure they look after the current player base that want to carry on supporting the game via a sub.

GW2 pvp is for people that long for the old days when Alterac Valley would last for 2 days. Last beta weekend i spent 2.5 hours attacking a gate that never came down.
Still more fun than getting violated by a mara/jug though. Dont know how long it will last. No monthly fee can always play both
2.5 hours on one door? didn't you use siege engines?
whole idea of getting the door/wall down is to use siege engines and peeps in your team will use the supply that they are spawned in with to help build them (team work).
I spent hours in world v world and omg it was so refreshing, i can see it getting boring after a while but for me and the 100 guild/server members playing it was such a blast.
I wish tor hero engine could handle something like world v world but that is just a dream.

I'm surprised to say that after finally getting a chance to play the hypefest that is GW2, I think I actually appreciate what SWTOR has to offer. With the way people talk about GW2 and some seriously crazy fanboy shenanigans going on, you'd think it was the second coming of Jesus and after playing I honestly thought I'd probably unsub to this game and never pick it up again.
However, after a good five hours playtime, I'm already missing SWTOR. Granted GW2 actually feels like a more modern MMO, their stories for the races are absolutely woeful in comparison to SWTOR. Okay do you want to go into some cave and recover some medicine from some bandits or do you want to infiltrate a notorious crime lord's gang and carefully plant the seeds of doubt in their mind and force them to your side? And don't even get me started on the fact you face some guy three freaking times and each time you worry about what's going to happen.. WHY CANT I KILL HIM???
Still, this aside, I do love the world quests where you can just join in and random events plus the WvW pvp is a LOT of fun and what Illum should have aspired to be.
Regardless, after playing the second coming of Jesus, I've came out of it appreciating SWTOR a lot more and what it actually offers.
Said this many times...i love tor and if tor had World V world or something like it, many people would have stuck with it.

I am not leaving Tor for gw2, , nothing special on the pve front, a couple of nice twists, but overall pve not that much different from what see everyday,
PVP the world vs world will be what sets gw2 apart.
And the biggest thing that gw2 has or has not depends on how you look at that glass, no sub, gw2 is built around MT's and if they stay true to their word nothing but fluff items.
Plus gw has a huge follwing, I played gw1 some but it never took hold of me, I am sure at some point I wil llook at gw2 again, but won't be leaving any game to play it as my only game, just not enough depth for me.
Only downside to the fluff items are the gems which you can buy for money and then exchange the gems for ingame money.
-
Well from what i have seen with the beta in gw2 it just has all the basics you expect to see in any mmo game at release.
Guild banks on release, huge guild perks system, world v world is something tor should have had.
I still think tor is a better story driven game but the scale of guild wars the pvp and the pve content is dynamic enough for it to stand on its own.
Im not a huge fan of the combat system as i think its the only downside to the game.
Like all mmo you still feel a little grind at first it is fun to run around and find new events kicking off all the time but after a while (level 31 for me) it started to feel a little like instead of grinding the same quests i was grinding the same events.
But it is a good game and tor should have had random events ingame, like attack and defend outposts from npc attacks, open zones that could be fought over...when you look at what is in gw2 it does make me feel sad that so much was missed out of tor and these events could have made tor a lot better.

These "QQ" have been happening as early as 1.2 and we still got buffed in 1.3. If Bioware thought Mara has issue they'd nerf it then, but they didn't and they buffed the class instead. So if you really think BW will nerf this class because people on forum refuse to l2p then...well... what more can I say?
Thats not the way it works....the class may have already been balanced in a patch to come and it does take a while for these class balancing to make its way onto the live servers.
Keep your idea that just because they got a buff again its not to make the class ready for a small balance change in a later patch.
From what we have seen in the past this tends to be the way we see the classes change.
-
Ilum needs to be more dynamic...each time you cap you a zone npcs from your faction should spawn and help guard it...give sides with less numbers more npcs/buffs to help them win back zones.
Ilum was and if it came back will be very boring...
-
Erm... Not it won't lol
If anything you should pray that it doesn't get buffed - thats what happened in 1.3 and people has been crying about marauder since 1.2 rofl.
The same thing happened with sorcs
pre 1.2 every patch that came out peeps moaned about them and in the end they got knocked down a few pegs...so it will happen to marauders.Don;t get me wrong i love the class but seeing all this QQ on the forums about it will lead to action being taken about the class.
Just be ready when your bubble gets burst.

Another one of this threads, please STOP IT!
Yeah yeah yeah we all know that we who are sents/maras is OP we understand it.
Why do you think we choosed a advance class that is based on dps, because we like to DPS that's the answer.
I'm so tired about all sage/sorceres thats compløin about getting killed by us.
Well read this and remember it: YOU are NOT made for DPS!
YOU ARE made for HEALING!!! Or TANKING if you are a jugg/guard!!!
ALL advancede classes in this game has DIFFERENT ROLES and USES!!!
WE sents/maras ARE MADE for DPS and YOU ARE MADE for HEALING or TANKING!!!
Stick to your role and use and don't cry about us in the forum!
You choosed your class and advanced class YOURSELF, you got GOOD information when you choosed a class
about it's use and it's advanceed classes uses! YOU made YOUR decission don't blame me for choosing a class and advanced class that is made for DPS!!! It's my job to kill you as FAST as POSSIBLE. And HEALERS shall HEAL their teams so they DON't gtet killede by me! And TANKS shall TANK!
There got it? Hopes this opened your eyes:) Sorry for being angry but this is the 3699 thread I have read about people crying about my advanced class that is made for DPS is killing them. So it had to come out...
Now have a nice day and enjoy SWTOR, and my two beatiful lightsabers that I WILL use to cut you down with:)
MOHAHAHAHA!!!
This post has a few errors.
If you pick a sorc and go down a DPS tree you are not ment to heal.....
Its post like this that make me lose faith with this community.
Marauders will get a nerf or 2 just like we have seen with other classes in the past and then peeps will reroll again to the next class of the month.
But saying a sorc is ment to just heal is kinda stupid...they do go down fast but before 1.2 a class that you think should just heal would have burst you down faster then you can leap.
Give it a time and wait till the next class balance takes place.
I love my marauder and i always look out for sorc so i can burst them down
but enjoy it while it lasts because we all know change will happen. -
Enope.
Your "points theory" completely ignores the synergetics of utilities, talents, exact application mechanics, and the abilities of other classes. Non-specced healer's heals are of questionable worth at 50 - I almost literally outDPS a non-specced character's healing with free attacks. Yes, they can be useful in the right time in the right place, but you overestimate their usage - especially in light of how the resource system works for Mercs\Mandos.
You can't DPS and heal at the same time. You can't even heal consistently and intensively as a non-specced character. You'll go dry very quickly.
This is basically the Vanilla WoW Paladin case. Because they had an invulnerability shield and healing, they rolled over dumb players, but those who knew how to fight them obliterated them like they were clumsy non-elite mobs, and there's little they could do unless they had a significant gear advantage. And the fact they they had "heavy armour, bubble and heals" held back the development of this class for nearly two expansions. Just because dumb players didn't know how to counter them. Know thine enemy, etc.
I agree, with my sorc as a dps spec i tend to go dry after 4 healing casts and then find myself gimped becuase i have no force to dps.
I love everything about my sorc apart from pvp, people say we had it good for a while....well we did but the nerfs where to much to the class...
My sorc is still shelved and it will stay there till they get back some kind of bite..or untill GW2 comes out.
-
Where does it say that on the page?
Because i was recruited and my friend has it on every toon.

Please answer this one ASAP, Bioware. I will refer like a madman if it is account wide.
Account wide

I don't want a free ride, but i want to have fun in PVP which i can't have when i'm constantly stomped by wh geared people.
PVP in the sub 50 bracket is really fun.
pvp rocks sub 50 past that it turns in to a stress fight where under geared players get stomped on by the enemy and there own team mock them for having poor gear lol
you just can't win
-
Thing with sorcs atm is they can get the high numbers at the end of any warzone but they lack any burst to really stand on there own.
pre 1.2 I didn't really feel op i was a glass cannon...right now as a dps sorc i feel like a jack of all trades and a master of nothing.
Love the class story but trying to pvp well as a dps sorc is painfully slow and they really need looking in to what can been done to bring them into line with other dps classes.
Hate seeing myself being hit with 4/5k crits when i know i can only pull 3k back in return and that is with half war hero/battlemaster.
Sad part is as dps sorc you have to just wait and see or re roll.
pre 1.2 every patch that came out peeps moaned about them and in the end they got knocked down a few pegs...so it will happen to marauders.
Do we have to do the event to stay up to date?

The event is fine but it lacks the rewards and the fun factor vs the last event.
If i had a sniper/bounty hunter i might try it but i don't so i don't really see the point of a world event where the rewards don't = time spent.
