So lets go over ways you can now get jawa junk. We know you can get them from deconstructing. We also know we will be getting much more drops each run. This means you will be getting more and more items not needed and used. I think 200: 1 i still extremely high. I could be wrong and maybe 200: 1 is where the math should be but even 100: 1 seems more reasonable because you get about 5-10 jawa per item depending on its item type green/blue/purple. That means you would need to scrap about 10 items to get 1 part you need to craft an item you need. Lets do the math full out 20 deconstructed purples = 200 jawa junk / 200 Assorted Droid Parts / 200 Scavenged Scrap = 1 of each item 20 x 200 = 4,000. This to me is to high I get some people have it stockpiled but those are usually the hardcore players the rest of us do not.

Now I know that they cannot scrap the entire new system unless we want to wait 3 more months for release but the price to craft one piece of gear that is green and by the time you hit max level you will have either out ranked it in item level or you will within a week or two. I suggest they just lower the cost for all materials needed to match what we use now 2x all materials has been the norm for sometime. Also possibly lower jawa scraps to 25-50 for 1 material because the way it is now its just not gonna fly.

I know you talked about it in the streams but are we getting a Master Datacron for subbing on launch of 6.0?

Testing only The Esseles. Now I have never been able to solo any other Flashpoint. I am a pretty casual players and this is the only one I could solo with Comp on Veteran mode. I am now not able to. Now mind you I do not have all my Heroic abilities I get from unlocking all class stories and that could be the difference change idk. I hope this helps in some way.

I find this a great thing but would ask you release the game on October 15th. It is a solid date still early enough for people to stay subbed from now until than. Waiting until the 22nd is not good for Dev or players who are already excited and waiting. I realize they need more time but no matter how much you perfect the game it will have bugs. The major thing is to make sure it doesn't have major bugs or mechanics that will drop your sub rating quickly. I think Mid October will do just that.

Make our Dark vs Light points able to either buy Schematics 230 gear or Mods that can help us upgrade the item we need upgraded. You could also put blue gear you talked about not wanting Purple gear to be easy to get and I understand that so schematics that cost 6-10 light or dark points this should be a simple fix and helps those that are getting bad luck in RNG.

I know you Dev's worked hard and to watch everyone complain really does hurt. I do understand this but you can fix this with small implement patches. 1. make one piece of gear in CXP levels garanteed to be a MOD either Blue quality or Purple or higher at Max level... This saves us money from swapping gear out of one to another and saves us credits. It also make sure we are getting either blue quality or purple quality gear and we can place these items in any gear we need! On top of this if its legacy bound we can swap it over to a character that DOES need that MOD. this is an easy patch that you can put in place and helps all players. Thumbs up 1 if you agree to this. I have thought a lot about the system now and the fact is it does not work. I LOVED the chapters 1-9 all of them were great best expansion content yet when it comes to this or the galactic command Idea! but when it comes to Command Experience the items I have gotten and what I have seen from people I play with / know / guild no one is getting anything higher than greens.... This is a concept that will NOT EVER WORK for an MMO... and if you wanted this to be just an RPG game you should have thought about that at launch because now you are either going to lose all your players and end up closing your servers like infinite crisis this is your choice but fixing the issue now is better than waiting until the majority of the population has moved on.

I agree with fixing REAL PROBLEMS. The problem is most people are complaining about CXP already at level 10.... first off most RPG that use a leveling system after max level (AKA Diablo 3) is based on RNG but this game actually gives you rewards as you level those command levels. You can still get the materials you need and the patterns to make decent gear so I know for a fact gearing will not be hard for those who know how. I am aware BIOWare has not been good at fixing this game because I loved the old talent system and that was one of the main reasons I moved over from WoW to this because when they changed talent trees I wanted the old ones back. Fact is this is a free 2 play game and they must treat it like one. Subs in this game do not have to sub and that is not where they make most the income of the game. This is why they do not focus on fixing issues that subs complain about. I have yet to see actual bug in the game. If people are having bugs its probably a graphics card issue NOT the game because if it works for some and not for others that means its a comparability issue not a game issue which most of the reports of high MS or its laggy or buggy have all been user issues NOT EA/BIOWare.

I have been on here while at work the past few days and I have seen a lot of negativity towards the game and Developers. It is time I voice my opinion..... I have two computers first off both are laptops one MacBook Pro (2008 I believe) That is running Linux and I play SWTOR on. The other is Windows 10 HP laptop. Neither of these are high end anymore but both play the game great! (Keep in mind I work in IT and went to school for software developing so I know quite a bit about getting things to work correctly and smoothly) I have ran into one bug where I exploded and one where I got stuck and all I had to do was type /stuck and it was fixed.... Other than that this expansion has been amazing! (SPOILERS) We get to control a Walker, Sneak past guards as a tiny droid, Operate a HUGE robot after getting to kick its TRASH! You get to dress as a Zakuul Guard and CRASH A PARTY!! Honestly this expansion has more in it than any other one by far. I am only on Chapter 6 and I already am Max level with 1 Command Level and I got a 230 green that was better than what I had and a rifle (yes rifle doesn't really help when I am a Jedi Knight but I sent it by mail to my Imp Agent) & a Companion Gift which is always useful. Tomorrow is release and I will be playing with my Wife. Yes she is a new player but she is excited because she doesn't have to level 65 levels to catch up to me we can begin at the same spot on our Token Characters. Yes this game CXP may not work out but honestly if it doesn't they can easily put in Rep gear or something else but we cannot honestly tell them right now its not working when its only been 2 days..... I will give it until January and hopefully by than they will either be getting ready to fix it or change it if it is not working. I would love to hear others good experiences & or constructive criticism and less negativity.

My Preparations Start new character level it to 1-65 do it again... 5x.... Delete all the character create one more and level it 1-65 ok... ya i'm satisfied with this one because I also don't have time to level another now. Clean inventory (check) Stock up on XP boost for ALL characters (check) Know which character will go first (check) Stock up on Mnt Dew & Food for release (check) Tell the wife its coming out and I wont be bothered that week (check) Have a few people to run with..... (no friends that play SWTOR so this maybe blank until I find a decent guild or friend or two)

Dev said it could be less depending on the content you are doing. Also depending on how you play... First thing in pre-release to do get a character to 70. Evaluate at 70 what kind of CXP I get in FP / Warzones / Heroic Planet Missions / ETC... (Keep in mind elites give you CXP so my best bet is Heroic Planet Missions will give you the most if you are soloing content and even if you are with people. Also you can teleport directly and from each and everyone of them.) Trust me People on reddit will find the quickest way to get a Level and if you can do it within 20 minutes... which I highly believe people will if you have ALTS just do a bit of reading or check yourself.

Thank you for the answers the only one I still question about is Story/Veteran/Master because command crates cannot be the only way to get gear. If so leveling would suck if you have a level 1 and you have to get to 70 before you can start earning CXP to get crates on that character. I would hope and from my understanding they wont change rewards missions give you but rather than getting XP you will get CXP after hitting 70. Regular rewards I would hope to stay the same but this is definitely something I would love to hear more about. I do not believe its account wide for this reason. if you hit max 300 on one character that is light side but your dark side character is only 150 because you haven't done as much dark side work they wouldn't want all your characters to get the light side XP when they are not light side characters.

I just have some questions regarding 5.0 and if anyone can answer them that would be great! If these were all ready answered I apologize I did try and watch all of the streams but fell asleep or got distracted in a few of them so may have missed it. 1. Regarding XP for Command Levels does it increase each level like it does for normal levels or will it be the same amount of XP each level for all 300 Command XP Levels? (This method reminds me a lot of Paragon for Diablo 3 but better because you get rewarded each level whereas Diablo was all RNG) 2. This one I am sure was answered and I missed it but first time playing through can I play on Veteran or must I play through on story first? Will you be rewarded on the missions with better gear if you can? (For example if I play on story I get green gear but if I play on veteran for first time around I get blues and Master possible drops purples) 3. Dark Vs Light Event is really peeking my interest. The only reason I stuck with WoW for so long is they continued to have Wintergrasp or other controlled events that kept each side battling for control. My real question is would you guys consider adding a Dark Vs Light PvP event or do you already have plans for one?! 4. I heard this question asked in the twitch stream but never heard it answered. Will the two new planets have exploration areas outside of the story missions (Like Ziost etc...) or will they be more confined like some planets? I am sure people have more and I know a lot of these can be answered the beginning of next week by myself but if anyone could answer them quicker that would be great thanks!

Wait so its on board graphics? That is my understanding from this... if you have a PCI-E which I am almost sure you do yes. You could get a card close to $100 that would play this game pretty well on high settings or you fork out the money and never worry about raid lag or anything for about $200. Just something you need to decide but on board graphics is terrible. I even gave my parent my old video card because even though they don't play games it makes videos and any type of media that much smoother.

1 - Well I answered the Authorization issue already if anything pay one month for them if playing with you isn't incentive enough. You can than get them the artifact authorization for them or they can spend the cartel they just got on it. 2 - They do get reduced comms but its 10 not 20 comms is all. I know I played that way for a while its not like 10x7 on a daily plus another 20 for the weekly plus planet heroic which you can now pick up on the fleet that give you more comms are not enough to give them an item or two a week. That is assuming they are going for PvE Gear. 3 - Yes vendors were taken away but you can get all orange gear at level 8 on the fleet in the supply area and you can still get blue mods for that gear all the way up. 4 - I love companion system now and you can also pick them all up weapons at the level 8 vendor not like they need something nice its all for cosmetic look now anyway for companions.... 5 - Depending on class yes it maybe harder to level because of skills but seriously the patch just came out.... They will adjust things and make it more balanced. 6 - CRAFTING IS GODLIKE.... I mean they made it so all classes make better gear now and its much easier with things they removed. On top of that if you sub for one month pick up 3 crew skills LOOP HOLE you can still use all 3 after your no longer subbing I have done it.... so trust me stop complaining tell them to SUB ONE MONTH and do everything on that last and they will be fine when they cant pay...

Wait so they can do the daily still? Just no loot in the flashpoint? If so OMG what are we crying about you still get comms and creds and XP!!! lol

Lets take our Delorean back to a time we were all young.... I started playing MMO's when I was 16. Problem was I was in high school with no job and no real income. When I did have the money and asked my parents if I could give them it and if they would activate my sub they said "NO GAMES ARE A WASTE OF YOUR TIME!" So I had to save for two months worth and would go buy sub-card at walmart.... This is for WoW not this game... but the point is the same. Most players that cannot pay are young or in college and literally if its between this and eating in college I would chose to eat. It is hard to be free 2 play in most games but you can find loop holes that CAN help you and knowing this loop holes made my life in gaming SOOOO much easier for when I fell on a month a two of tight budget. First - Sub for at least one month or buy cartel coins..... BUY the ARTIFACT EQUIPMENT cartel item so you can use them account wide..... Second - WHEN YOU SUB that ONE TIME! Add your phone or Authentication Key.... IF YOU STOP SUBBING YOU STILL GET 100 CARTEL A MONTH!!! Third - You can do 5 flashpoints a week DON'T DO THEM ALL IN ONE DAY... unless you have no other choice and its the only day you can play but if you do it once a day you can pick up the daily mission from the supply area on the fleet and get more COMMS that way..... Fourth - Creds are easy to come by.... ITS BOUNTY CONTRACT WEEK NOW! Do this on your chars and sell them via GTN or trade! You can make 50k off an item that LEVELS your CHAR and gives you CREDS and you can do it on ANY PLANET.... Final - STOP CRYING I was free 2 play for a while, went to pref and now I bounce back and fourth between pref and sub.... YES SUB is better for OPS but PvE is not the only content... I found playing on a PvP server can make PvP that much better because I can just go hunt people down if I cant do anymore Warzones or Flashpoints or ANYTHING ELSE. OK now have a great day and lets be honest if you read this and don't take advantage of how to be free 2 play you shouldn't play this game and I am happy saying that because you have to work for things either IN GAME or OUT OF GAME to make it worth your time.....

I cannot wait for the expansion first off and I want to thank the SWTOR team for all the hard work and dedication they put into this game because even though I don't agree on everything they have done. When Tactical came out I was kinda like yay! a variation of flashpoints that I can do at any level! More recently I have noticed tactical was not only too easy and just breeze past to get comms but also the opposite.... What I mean by this is I spent 40 minutes in a Manaan Tactical because two people had no idea how to do the flashpoint. We were all under 60 so no way to be geared and carry them through it.... This is honestly what I would like to see and why. Build all tactical flashpoints to have a solo revision with the GSI Support droid. Keep the Mechanics of the fight in the solo version so people can learn the fight. Possibly add more affects or a onscreen warning so players know when they are meant to do something. Make it simple as this, they are unable to que for tactical or HM until they have finished at least the solo version of the flashpoint. This will not only teach new players the basics of the fight but will make flashpoints less frustrating for everyone. Not just old players who think this is cake walk but also new players wont be called out or people wont get frustrated with them. Tactical I feel was a way to make new players or casual players comfortable running flashpoints but its not quite serving the purpose it needs. They need to know how the fights go and why they are doing something they are told to do otherwise making a flashpoint easier servers in my opinion no purpose. Please if you have any idea post them. I hope a few Dev read please and thank you!
