Make classic story chapters replayeable too, as you did with new story. They deserve it.

+ Renewable time stamp for ops achievments. so it should be like: First completion: 1 jan 1970 Latest completion: 2 jan 1970 Total runs: 666 + spotlight-like decos, cuz some places on guildships (especially imp) are really dark, but can't be lighten up with standard lamps + make color crystals meaningful again (make stat bonus more viable) and bring back old-style relics with additional effects like kinetic or elemental damage on hit, so on.

still there is a hope - if its "hidden" somehow, BW can retrieve it.. i guess.. may be..

well, seems that legacy cargo merge is not so successfull as it should be - i've lost my TRE' stockpile of mats and things completely

to @crew: you guys do this: say "update is delayed for 24h", take some rest, take a shower, go sleep. And when you wake, things will go smooth, 100%. Trying to bring it back while you are exhausted and nervous is best way to **** things up completely.

Who and why selected name of failed traitor, hated in both Empire and Republic (i mean, from characters POV, not from players - some of players may admire Malgus), as the name of united server? I mean, he is iconic character, ofc, he has his own holostatue, he is presented in intro cinematics, but WE KILLING HIM IN FLASHPOINT. Because he decided that he is better - and failed in many ways. Its like calling your warship "George Bush" (yes, for father, not for son, but still). This choice is really... strange. And unpleasant. And questionable. As for me, i'd prefer something fraction-neutral and story-neutral, like name of planet or epoch or event or something ELSE. "Yavin" or "Soa's eternal dream, ended so unfortunately for him" or "Bantha poodoo" or may be "Gray secant" (that would be just awesome!), something like that

fixing of old bugs is perfect idea, and i have another one perfect idea: how about special mechanics for collections unlocking - when i have emote on one char and i unlocking it for account on another, it would be very nice to AUTOMATICALLY unlock them on all char that i have. Its very simple, tiny, unimportant, but nice improvement

I mean that those new epic super-duper options are not tuneable and they do more harm than benefit. And my irony was exactly about that. Those "Innovations"...

i was lil bit sarcastic

I think, Bioware did only half of what must be done. There is a plenty of room for improvement and innovations. Honestly, green color for both rep and imp AOEs is good thing, but what we really need is NO AOE marker. Its too easy to get confused when you see AOE marker, it gives you an idea that this can be good to stay in. So if we wont see any AOE markers it wont give any idea to stand in this. Next, about map markers. I think that we need ONLY map marker, terrain is not needed and should be removed from view. And one brilliant idea for free: make all nameplates with same color and impossible to turn off. We must see names of all our friends and enemies all the time, but different colors creating only a mess, but not helping. All those changes should be hardcoded and not tuneable. This is only way to success. SRSLY, who gave you an idea to make enemy AOE same color as friendlies? Why those awesome map markers are so big and why they can NOT be turned off? tactical navigation with minimap is nearly impossible now because we dont see anything but these awesome markers. NOT NICE.

I'm losing my friends, guildmates and I see how people are leaving this game because all those changes. Already lost more than ten people I knew - they cancelled their subscription or just left for good. And you know why. You removed "commendations" (renamed to "crystals", lol, what a brillint intellectual work behind this renaming), now you brought back another type of them. You removed tokens, now you brought back another type of them - we had hope that this will not be necesary to grind after all those changes, but in fact grind became even worse. Srsly. We came here for interesting content - opses, flashpoints may be, warzones, stories, new planets - and instead of it you gave us.. what? Uppisings? Srsly? You want to force end-game-pros to endlessly run in circles in this "replayeable content" in *hope* that one day we *may* get some gear to *try* really interesting hard mode content? And as result of all those changes - people are leaving. Good players, experienced gamers, they facing this *****, getting very angry or dissapointed and leaving. Leaving Leaving Leaving PEOPLE ARE LEAVING BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO FORCE THEM TO STAY BUT YOU MADE THEM TO SAY GOODBYE

StarWars Galaxies.. hmm.. never heard about rise and fall. SWTOR killed SWG, so SWTOR will be (no doubt) killed by something else

Guys, you want them to bring back old gearing system? Seriosly? they are completely unable to fix old bugs (like one with achievment on Dread Council in EV) and you want them to do something more intellectual? Not gona work. BW dev team can't understand what do you want, why you are unhappy with all those blinking bells and whistles. Are you unhappy with this amazing Galactic Command Flair? BUT WHY?!!! People worked hard to implement it, you ungrateful bastards!!!111

A. There is no such thing as luck. B. You can always negotiate for token. C. You can do this ops on other toon, win token and transfer via legacy D. ??????? 5.0 E. PROFIT!!

Rephrase: "make game that even idiots can play and only idiots will play that game"

probably, this is one of the devs. Ofc he is happy with game, he got his Gearing Cheat.

facepalm.jpg I don't really care about your mental problems, honestly. So I can't "like" or "not like". Its your problems, not mine. But i do care about my fav game and the way it goes.

I see. You are not playing idiot, you ARE... If this game is not for me - for who it then? If not WE (not me, but WE - players) deciding the way it should go, then who does? Why instead of extending my abilities and getting more tactical and strategic advantages I should limit and cut down myself? Again - we were forced to build as many chars as we want and now we are forced to pick only one. This is very strange way to make people happy. Patience for what? "This is only beta"-thing? But isnt Beta-Testing phase meant to fix things broken by design? And upcoming changes are surely broken by design, they are already terribly bad.

Don't play idiot, I'm not talking about new CM packs and boring solo-mode story on rails. And i'm not talking about abilities removal, we DID NOT asked for it. Just because managers made stupid move doesn't mean we ALL asked for it. We did not asked "please, do something with gearing system - we don't want all those tokens from ops bosses, all we want is endless grind. And something with alts - make them impossable to maintain". Just point me on that person who asked for this. Can you? I have few tank, DD and healing chars - to fill missing spots in my team and to help people to reach ops goals. All well-geared and finely tuned. Now i will be forced to abandon most of my chars (if not all of them) and concentrate only on one. Because in any other case my life will simply end before I'll gear them all. So in DvL we are welcomed to make some new chars and in 5.0 we are forced to abandon them. Brilliantly sick idea. IMPORTANT NOTE: if devs planning to make "gearing cheat" legitimate thing, i'm up for it. May be as it was for personal ship upgrades long ago - you can buy CM pack with all-purple highest tier upgrades... not anymore, but if this thing will return as "top-tier gear for hardcore raiders, 10000СС/char", many people will prefer it in that way. Think about it, Bugoware. Read this forum again - you will see how many people are deeply upset with announced changes. Guess why.

and im pretty sure that we asked for new content. So where is it?

if any of BW/EA managers can read this (i dont think they read, but in case of miracle...), so pay attention, please: DO NOT RELEASE 5.0 WIPE IT FORGET IT FIRE THOSE WHO GAVE YOU *brillian* IDEA OF ENDLESS GRINDING TO MAKE PEOPLE BUSY IF YOU REALLY WANT THIS GAME TO STAY ON, DO NEW DAMN CONTENT!!! We want new stories, new flashpoints, new warzones, new opses. THIS and only THIS will make people happy, only THIS will force them to stay on subscription. Let system be same, all we want is... guess what? NEW DAMN CONTENT!!! We asking for it for more than 2 years already. Not because we hate you, but because we do love SWTOR and we waiting for ... right, you guessed it NEW DAMN CONTENT!!! You may not fix bugs (at least, we can get used to some of them), you may even delete something obsoleted or change crafting system again, but im begging you, please, PLEASE, do NEW DAMN CONTENT!!! ... especially if you planning to kill that game. Release new content and THEN you can switch it off for good.

new expansion should be called "The Knights of Eternal Grind"

exactly the point! Bioware dont want 'legacy players' to stay, they are forcing people to leave. Just because legacy people will leave anyway if no new content will appear here. And it will NOT. But new players will be happy to do progression runs in EV SM and celebrate victory over 1st boss there.

Im very glad to see how oldtimers are enraged by this new, totally awesome, system. We all know that those so called "veterans" can do nothing else that just whine and whine about "we want new content", "we dont want repainted gear" sa. So when they all quit and cancel subscribtion, we will have game clear of old people who still remember how it was.. and zillions of grinding noobs who dont know how it can be. Brilliant plan. And i do plan to unsubscribe too, after i finish kotet. Everything dies. SWTOR too. Hell with it.

"Below the Belt: New ability which replaces Dirty Kick. Allows you to stun a target from 10m away." why.. WHY... WHY!! Why you replacing instead of adding? Precious funny animation of Dirty Kick! I so love it and you removing it now? Why it can't be like that - "if target is in melee range, its Dirty Kick, and its Below the Belt when target is away" ?? damn you
