  1. I kinda figured it would happen but its okay. I'd rather have the servers go live and everything works correctly then servers go live and have to be taken down suddenly. They are adding a large chunk of content this time with stuff having to be converted into new things. Sometimes the auto conversion doesn't work right.
  2. Hey folks,

     

    Keep in mind that we try to avoid talking about exploits and action taken against players. However, I know there is a bit of concern about this exploit and its implications on the game so here is where things stand.

     

    We have already begun taking action against players, but the brunt of those actions are still to come. As you might imagine, gathering all of the data to understand who exploited and what they did with the money, takes quite a bit of time. Know that over time we will be applying account actions, along with removing a large quantity of credits and other ill-gotten gains.

     

    Part of what takes so long is that some players know they are doing something they shouldn't and so they try to hide it. Moving credits around, using alt accounts, etc. It is important to us that we take appropriate action against each individual, and we are extra harsh against those who try to hide what they have done. Similarly, some players who participated have already self-reported either to Keith and myself, or to Customer Support. We absolutely take that into account when looking at what action we will take.

     

    And again my usual thanks to the absolute vast majority of our players who helped in reporting the issue quickly and avoided using it.

     

    TLDR - Some action has already happened with the brunt of it still to follow.

    So the usual huff and puff no action. got it.

  3. It's funny how they thought our forum accounts were the same as any of our characters name in game..... not the brightest bunch of folks over in legacy. I guess that was obvious when they required 236 gear with full augments for a storymode operation.

     

    Yep i can confirm the silly overgearing requirments of the operations. Not so much the story mode but the guild master wants people to be in full 242 with augs to do hardmode ops. lol HM ops DROP 242 gear FFS. lol That was red flag number one for me. 99% of the people in the guild dont do group activities and just do their own thing so they are of no help. Red flag number two. Then last night I found out a few peoples real true colors as I teamed up to do pvp and what was supposed to be a fun casual thing turned into, "*** ARE YOU DOING YOU PIECE OF BANTHA FODDER... OMG!!!", and another person in the group jumped to the conclusion that I rage quit when i was kicked from the pvp game while using the bathroom between deaths. How the hell do you just jump to that conclusion first thing. Thats a bad guildmate attitude right there. Yeah if you join dont do pvp with these people......EVER.

     

    They are changing officers now because some of them are just, lol dont give a damn, anymore.

     

    All that being said there are a few people in the guild that were really cool. They are why i stayed as long as i did.

     

    STEAR CLEAR OF THIS GUILD UNLESS YOU WANT DRAMA.

  4. Eric, is your goal to NOT have PvP as a viable means for gearing? These values are ridiculously low given the extreme prices you're asking people to pay and the upgrade path you're making people jump through to get items. This is absurd.

     

    No pvp is not intended as a primary gearing method but a way to get that one or two pieces you are missing. Its a supplementary system. GC crates are still your primary method of getting high tier gear.

  5. Its like OP doesnt know what he is talking about......cause he doesnt.

     

    242 is not a regular gear tier. Your not supposed to be in all 242 LEGENDARY gear. Your supposed to have a few at best. 240 is the current max gear tier that you can actually get a full set of until 5.2 adds another tier.

     

    Before you run off to WoW just know they have the same system in place with special legendary gear that you can only ever wear two of at a time.

     

    SWTOR haters tears as sooo delicious. I love it.

  6. Thanks for the replies!

     

    The thing is that we quit temporary. Maybe the game gets better. And I don't want to kick players I like but I know that they don't want to lead a guild. ^^ There are 300 characters in it, it would took long to rebuild if things get better.

     

     

    Things dont get better with EA games.

  7. As with all tanking, it's better to take less damage, than be able to take more. I know it sounds confusing, but take a minute and think about it ;)

     

    You arent totally right. There is a bell curve for this. You need enough health to survive the spike damage but enough mitigation that you aren't taking all the damage every attack. You dont want to be on either extreme end. The answer lies in the middle ground somewhere.

  8. later....and still have only seen 3 gold items from them a 236 wrist a 242 main hand and a 236 relic

     

    by this rate ill have a full set of 242 gear by time im command rank 21287463210643509174659431754319857

     

    the additions to pvp and ops are okishhhh but jeesh by time i get a full min maxed set 8.0 will be out and it will be all for nothing lol

     

    Thanks for trying something new, its a cool idea but still needs tonnes of improvements

    Thats literally the point. To keep you playing. lol Your not supposed to chase the legendary pieces. They are the carrot and the end of a stick that you can never reach. The smart man gets full 240 and plays another toon.

  9. The whaaaaaaaaa is strong with this one. EAWare dont care about you and what you want. The RNG will stay cause all other mmo's have rng loot. Too bad so sad, EAWare!

     

    I dont see what the fuss is about. I'm rank 35 in GC and my toon is already half 230's with 5 set bonus pieces. Just play as normal and you will have your gear.

     

    Whiners gonna whine......its what they do!

    To Ben Irving, better yet.. to Eric's direct reporting manager: Are you really going to continue to run the customer facing roles with a one or two person sporadic interface?

     

    Yes, yes they are. Why? Cause EA runs the show. EA wants maximum profit not to have a real and dedicated community manager. Why? Cause that cuts into profits.
