  1. Here is my problem with it , I don't think there should be compensation , however I just attempted to load the game again and the only way I can get it too load properly is the ALT TAB work around . Why is it taking so long to fix this ? It was reported in testing 3 weeks ago and you offer a game for $15 a month that can only be played if I ALT TAB as soon as it loads ? What decision making allowed this to go live ? It not only effects the new mini game but also the game in general just to play it . When will it be fixed ? Its just so unprofessional . SMH
  2. It was bumped to the first page the guy above me posted on it today I didn't look at the first page . I was kinda wondering why it was even here .
  3. Why is this even an issue you can get almost a full set of 69s just from doing the quest line on Oricon . You can get 72s with Elite comms which are a dime a dozen , 78s with ultimate comms . A random piece of gear in a flashpoint isn't worth getting all up in arms about .
  4. After reading that they intend to fix the situation I decided to resub , BUT some thoughts I had on this issue . Honestly repair costs ARE not the issue , only part of it . Having played WoW for years , SWG , Rift , GW1/2 , EQ and many other mmo's there are things they get right that our devs just don't The problem is CHOICE . I have been playing on the PTR and while in lvl 55 hm flashpoints I see the same old stuff . Mob drops 55 credits , 61 credits . This game pigeon holes you into a few choices for making credits . You can run the same montonous dailies , play the GTN , or get lucky with an item in a cartel pack and make money off of it . I feel that the game developers don't understand the fundamental problem with the whole situation . You take WoW for example . Your flashpoints , your raids , and your dailies all drop a reasonably equal ammount of credits , the same goes for farming of your crafting mats . What WoW did right to encourage you to do your dailies was put that trinket in there that you wanted , or a vanity pet / item that you wanted to do them to get . What this does is encourage there players to experience ALL the content , not just dailies . Star Wars forces you to run dailies to fund the rest of the game . YET , they hide behind every loading window a message to group up with players to do x,y,z tasks . If you want your player base to spend more time doing flashpoints , raids , pvp , etc . then make the credit rewards the same or equal to dailies . Space Missions is another example make an across the board change to where no matter what your doing in game you have the same opportunity to earn credits . Its not rocket science , the more your players spend time doing things they enjoy in game , the longer they stay subbed and the more they pay you money every month to continue to do so . When you look at the current repair situation instead of encouraging your discouraging players to use the group finder for daily hms / story ops , or to have your newer player base included in pugged opps. Make a level across the board credit acquisition to all activities instead of just putting all your eggs in one basket ( Boring Dailies ) . It reduces que times , keeps players paying and playing longer so they can make credits "there" way . Not everyone likes dailies . Not everyone likes ops . Not everyone likes flashpoints . Not everyone likes space missions . Put the incentive out there by leveling how many credits we recieve across the board and people will use more aspects of your game . How is such a simple thing so hard to grasp when so many other mmos got it right . The problem isn't the money or the cost of repairs , the problem is CHOICE and risk vs reward .
  5. There is two things you don't mess with in this world . 1) A man's woman 2) A man's wallet I see constantly since EA was voted the worst business in America there executives constantly trying to spin it and wondering why they got that designation . Yet time and time again they do things over and over to piss off there paying customers . I stopped buying EA sports games 10 years ago and I used to buy them all , I stopped buying any title that was published by EA 6 years ago . They dissolved one of my favorite video game companies Origin ( Maker of the Wing Commander Series ) and used its name for there piss poor steam look alike . Then they bought out one of my favorite video game companies of all time Bioware and there games have been subpar ever since . I made an exception because I loved mmos , and I loved Knights of the Old Republic . I have been here since the first wave of Early Access , a collectors edition adopter . I have had alot of fun with this game but this change is unacceptable . When I have to work for EA running dailies to enjoy the fun aspect of there game ( raiding ) is when its time to hang it up . You already get my $15 a month your not gonna get all my time working for you doing montonous things . When the best thing you have to offer your playerbase is new dailies , you have FAILED as a game designer . This was the last straw .
  6. Yes because they moved people that didn't need to be moved because they refused too off of a dead server , makes perfect sense . Doesn't matter this is the last nail in the coffin for this game
  7. Yes , to do it to Destination servers is unacceptable and furthermore to do it without warning
  8. If your being moved the mover should have to change there name . You don't do this to people that have been on said server , you damn sure don't do it without communicating to people only to log in and see the name you have had since the first day of early access has to be changed .
  9. Making people on destination servers change names they have had since launch , NO this game will not live .
  10. So over this game , ONLY EA treats paying customers this way . I haven't bought an EA sports game in 10 years . After this I will NEVER buy a EA product again .
  11. So let me get this straight , I bought a collectors edition for $150 , I took the day off work , I was in the first wave of early acess to get the names I WANTED . I have been on Corellian Run since the first seconds it opened and I have to rename 4 of my charachters , charachters I care about ? This is complete and utter nonsense . Are you trying to make people quit this game ? Seriously ? This fiasco will be the biggest disaster in the history of mmos I have put up with alot from this disaster of an mmo been here since 2009 , done the same boring content for months . Watched all my friends quit , watched 3 guilds die and still kept playing . This may be the straw that broke the camels back . I want a response or Im going to unsub .
  12. So we make an abillity we have to use on the tank Kolto Missle , stun enemies for 3 seconds . With all the kiting involved I hope there is a boss immunity to this . Where is our Kolto Missle and whatever the agent AOE equivelant is hits 8 targets instead of 4 like the sorcs does ?
  13. The problem with Free to Play is its EA , voted the worst , most hated video game company in America . There was once an April Fools Joke in EGM that they were adding the air for the footballs as a DLC in Madden . NO one trusts EA , and no one believes they will handle free to play the right way . They will completely destroy this game to get an extra $ 5 , $10 , $20 , $30 , $40 , $50 a month out of you and laugh all the way to the bank . This is a company that releases games then the same day charges $20 for a DLC , that SHOULD have been included with the game . Sorry , but I just can't trust EA with a cash shop .
  14. Your ignoring the point , 50k a day is peanuts in the grand scheme of things it won't even buy you a MK6 kit on this server . You can make 200 k a day doing dailies easy . Would you rather make your 200k grinding the same mission you have been doing for 6 months , or doing something you enjoy while associating with other people ?
  15. Exactly what Im advocating is more ways to make credits , more options ( like other games ) allows you to make the money while doing something you enjoy and keeps you subscribing longer . If your constantly doing somehting you don't enjoy , you won't keep doing it for long . Whats wrong with more avenues than just dailies to make money ? You want to decrease LFG ques and have more people use it , make it financially worth the players time .
  16. The amount of time to get that was miniscule , and you only needed it on one charachter , then you could buy it for the rest of your charachters . Not to mention you could buy 2 mammoth mounts for getting revered and you didnt even have to do the dailies you could trade in the tokens( relics of ulduar ) from flashpoints or farm them off the mobs in the area , or buy them off auction house . Or trade in a triumph badge for 120 rep from running dungeons . However here you have to do dailies ALL the time to keep up your credit flow .
  17. What BIS item was on a vendor ? there was nothing there that could compete with Heroic Raid loot , most of the stuff on the cata firelands vendor couldn't compete with normal raid loot ..
  18. Are there any plans to increase the credit revenue for flashpoints , operations , pvp , and space missions so that players have another avenue to aquire credits besides running dailies ?
  19. This is my number one problem with the game in its current state . There is only one avenue to make money , DAILIES . I hate dailies , and after 6 months I don't want to go to Illum , Belsavis , and Corellia to do the same mission I was doing 6 months ago every day just to have money to support my charachters . IMO the best thing they can do is increase the credit drops in operations , flashpoints , pvp , and space missions or bring the cash you make from dailies more in line with the other 4 . If you want to keep subscribers give players options to make money , not just dailies . You don't even make enough credits from flashpoints or ops to pay for your repair bill . If you can make your money while doing things you enjoy , its win for Bioware and all there players . Forcing players to do something they don't want to do ( dailies ) just to have enough cash for mods , augments , repair bills is terrible game design . Thats one thing I liked about Wow , they had plenty of dailies , pvp dailies , pve dailies . But they didn't FORCE players to do them . Instead they added there cool vanity items to dailies , or a trinket , or a mount , to where you ran the dailies because you wanted to , not for the gold . There is just no choice in this game and I do believe thats whats driving away a large part of subscribers .

  21. Your paying for Star Wars the " Dailies" adventure
  22. Is this the Space Combat talk you are referring to ? http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1333873/swtor_lead_dev_most_excited_by_incoming_space_features.html
  23. Not what I had in mind when I hear " MASSIVE " E3 Announcement , just like every other E3 for the last 3 years they under deliver .
  24. Yes they do and its proabably my number one complaint with the game . #1 Audio You have a huge massive soundtrack but yet you only hear music when you enter your ship , enter specific areas of a planet . Star Wars set the bar for invoking feelings through music , u never heard Luke , or Leia , or ObiWan's sound of just there feet walking in the movies . It was always accompanied by music , the music for a planet gave it a vibe a feeling . This game is void of that for boasting such a huge soundtrack . 75% of my time in game is spent listening to my speeder hum , or the sound of my feet walking through a world . The most immersion breaking feature is the lifelessness of the planets . You walk into a city and its like playing the manequin adventures , you see people moving there arms carrying on conversations but you don't hear these conversations . Its like a whole game of mimes . Granted you do catch the occasional tidbits , my favorite being the one on Tattooine where the guy says he saw a jawa without his robe on . But more often than not you see people talking but you dont hear them talking . The bars feel lifeless there is no sound of patrons having conversations or drinks . The cities don't feel like cities , I can't even imagine any major city in the US walking through it and only hearing the sound of my feet . This game just never made me feel like I was living in Star Wars , I give the Audio an F . 2) Game design The worlds are so linear they discourage all forms of exploration , the way the keep you on there set path of going from point A to point B is to put 500 mobs in your way if you veer off the guided path . It slows you down so much it discourages all forms of exploration . Belsavis and Taris are proabably the worst . There are so many mobs roaming around in this game you even get attacked just from traveling the road because some idiot designer thought it would be a good idea to place them right in your way . Sometimes its good to just explore IE WoW , Rift , SWG . This game discourages you from doing that , its like they ran out of content around Belsavis and had to have a way to intentionally slow the game down with endless walking/speeder riding . Want to go from point A to point B you can forget that because if you don't go up , around and travel twice as far to get to your destination it takes you more time to fight through there endless spawns of mobs in the world . Sadly if they took half the mobs out of each planet it would feel less linear , never thought I would say that . You don't feel like your visiting a planet , or that your living there , you feel like your surviving a planet . Part of Star Wars was the many different variations of the planets . From the oceans of Manaan , to the trees of Kashyykk , to the tombs of Korriban . Each city in this game feels like generic blowed up city A , generic blowed up city B , generic blowed up city C . 2 Exceptions , Tattooine , Tython .
