  1. Seems they pruned the threads
  2. Thanks for the server forums Bioware Much much much better
  3. FINALLY we have a server forum! holy crap that took forever
  4. Level 50 Warzone of The Shadowlands is bugged, no one on the server at level 50 can PvP right now cause the mission is stuck at 100% / 0% and will not end Please fix this right now
  5. Wonderful to hear. Infact I've been fairly butthurt about having to transfer from my original server only to find that my last name that I've used since I started playing Star Wars Galaxies in 2004 was no longer available for me to use. This partially made me want to stop playing the game and I'm glad it's being addressed and fixed.
  6. Rather old thread but it seems it's been confirmed that this will finally be happening following the server transfers. I'm more then thankful for Bioware's consideration on this and will go a long ways to show that they do indeed care about their customers.
  7. More chat channel tabs is not the way to solve this. Local chat bubbles are a must, and furthermore a industry standard. The UI will see some customization options in the near future, but what we need with that are chat bubbles. It only makes sense. If you don't like chat bubbles, fine....turn them off. But they should be "on" by default. People who don't like chat bubbles are like left handed people, everything in the world is right handed by default.
  8. I never really cared for lava crystal in SWG. Never fit the story imo.
  9. I vote for this, would save me $14.99 a month for hosting.
  10. It was like that because Bioware adjusted server caps ealy on so that they would read Heavy/Full. The population caps were extremely low to promote more growth and attract more players. Eventually the server caps were eased off and increase. Now we're left with what we have now. This statement pretty much sums it up.... "IT'S A TRAP"
  11. ASUS G74SX BBK-8 Best bang for the buck and only $1,199 at Best Buy
  12. LOL "Pre Pub-9" There were a lot of factors to that. Stats mattered back then. Ranged/Melee defense and KD defense were huge. Dual spec/dabblers were huge Gear meant something. Post pub 10 with the FRS made it worth while to obtain the high res. robes. It was indeed a lot of fun but it was also a much slower placed combat system and is not really in the same league as SWTOR combat. Also, SWG CU Master Powers Cloaking was boss.
  13. I support this idea, though I think it'd be wise if the bind function prevented the player from leaving guild. ex: Player equips item bind on guild. Item is bound. Player tries to leave guild and is prompted that leaving guild is not possible until item is removed from inventory (either destroyed or placed in guild bank). A log would also be nice. Guild bank log could feature a tab for equipment Binds. ex: player1 has bound itemX date/time.
  14. This was due to the early access stagger process Bioware conducted. If they would have left things open and free for customers to fill in the gaps then we would more then likely not have seen this issue. They tried to keep things level on all servers and not let them flood, this however left the later (tail end charlie) group with the short end of the stick. First batch of servers have mostly stayed quite busy, where as the later servers have fell to little to no population, as most had migrated from the server soon after launch. I agree on this matter, a merge is needed. We don't need 150 servers. I doubt he's exaggerating, it's a well known fact that there's empty servers. Just go look at some of the server forums here that have little to no posts.
  15. Coming from SWG it's been rough getting used to a MMO with no chat bubbles. In most cases I generally ignore chat because it's too cluttered and near impossible to easily see who's talking to you in the area, without changing your chat colors of course. I preach about industry standards quite often, this is one in which I'd say is a must in any MMO.
  16. I got mine today Curious if it's a game card related issue

  18. Wrong, See, software sales in this industry include additional bits and bobs for the overall package you are purchasing. A customer pays "X" for "Y" giving them access to "Z". That's the product. The forums is part of the product. You can debate service all you want, in the end it's a product. Bioware moderating the forums is a service. Providing technical support is a service. Forum access and use is a product. Customers are using the software (product) and forums (product). Bioware's daily functions to accomidate, support, administrate and moderate are services rendered. How do I know this, again, I work in the industry. That is where you are saddly mistaken. I deal with folks like you daily during working hours. Nothing new here. Funny, I seem to recall saying you're doing the same thing but rather skimming the post to pick apart key points for the sole purpose of debate. The only drama and exaggeration is that in which you seem to be trying to stir up. You structure your posts and choose your words to paint a picture that down plays the situation. Additionally, there's no "out dated" responses here, as you noted. All responses and feedback from customers is valid, as we still do not have server forums. If we had individual server forums then everything would be solved and, of course, all comments would thus be out dated.
  19. Why should we, the customers, have to demonstrate anything considering this is due to Bioware's failure to provide a working solution? They created the problem, the burden is with them. If I exaggerated problems then I wouldn't have a job at the company I work for, simple as that. I don't just preach out of my *** here, I say this stuff with experience in this very industry. But it does work. I, like you and everyone else here, are CUSTOMERS. As customers we have demands. It's up to the business to supply those demands. A business can either satisfy the consumer needs and generate more revenue or they can ignore the demand and sink. I'm not providing feedback, I am organizing what's called Course of Action (COA). By constructing posts like these you are indeed going against the idea. You don't have to agree but you are quite frankly adding more ammo to Bioware's arsonal to fire back at us all. There's no "well I'm in between", you're with a side or you're not. Support or don't. Again, see above. Why should we have to demonstrate anything? We didn't ask to demonstrate, we asked for a very specific feature. Asking doesn't mean we need to demonstrate. Laying out a COA doesn't mean we need to demonstrate. Bioware already demonstrated to the customers that their solutions didn't work. But you're saying it's up to us to demonstrate? No. You're still missing the point here. There's a method to the madness with lobbying. The more voices and complaints the more chance for success the movement has. People who sit on the fence and try to play both sides do nothing to help the cause. December 13th we started with nothing. December 19th, they acknowledged the complaints. December 20th, they stated their stance on the matter. January 13th they recended their decision. January 20th they implimented Change 1. Now you tell me, how is any of this exaggerating? There is action and reaction. Customers spoke, action. Bioware made the change, reaction. What we have now is unsat. More action to follow and thus a reaction will come with. That, I'm afraid, is just not currently possible in vBulletin. Extreme development efforts would have to be put forth to create that feature in vBulletin as a addon/plugin. It would prove to be more cost effective for Bioware to give the customers what they simply ask for. This is not some off the wall feature we are talking about here, let's keep that in mind. We are talking about a INDUSTRY STANDARD. Server forums exist in every major MMO in the industry.
  20. For those who don't know, I recommend you check out MilitaryGamers.com Great bunch of folks
  21. Your entire post here is nearly a direct copy paste from previous thread regarding vBulletin features missing. Look, I've told you multiple times, read the thread. All the facts are there. Stop skimming and commenting on a few key points. There's much more then a "few" people providing constructive feedback on the issue. This has been beaten to death since December 13th in 3-4 different threads. Furthermore, customers are not using these GROUP forums because 1) we didn't ask for them and 2) we don't want to use them I'm not as young as I once was. I've been there done that and now receive disability checks. I prefer things to be as easy on my eyes as possible. Trying to pick and scroll through pages of threads with server prefixes is not easy on the eyes. You can continue to play Mr. Negative all you want on the issue but in the end the majority disagrees and you are still in the 10%. And because you more then likely skimmed past it, I'll repost it for you to read here: If you're in favor of individual server forums then suppor the cause, don't go against it. No one is exaggerating the issue, the facts are clear and posted here. All Bioware's comments are posted here. A large collection of customer responses are also posted here. Those are the facts, and they are undisputed. And you won't find many, because customers didn't ask for THAT. Would you tell someone thanks for handing you a sheet of paper when you asked for an eraser? Or would you say thanks to someone who sold you a 4x4 quad cab that you don't need when you asked for a 2 door coupe hybrid? Yeah, I'd say thanks....... thanks for wasting your time and my time. I'm also quite sure the web developers are thrilled about having to make Change 4 to Change 3 of Revision 12 to Change 2b for the forum layout because management has no clue what their doing. I know my fun meter would be pegged. Also, I'll give you a example to review and let brew for a few: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/forums/show.m?forum_id=3 http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=329 Which of those 2 do you think is easier to read? Heck, forget the F-G area, just look at: http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=340 That's like trying to read Russian. It's a complete mess. Not to mention that there's zero regional seperation now. You've got East/West Coast and Euro all lumped together in areas. I think the only ones who really can benifit from server group forums is the DE and FR servers because there's so few of them.
