New game engine, graphics that actually use my 2080 ti nvidia for what its worth, character customization, an expansion that takes more than a few hours to go through, race specific dialog . . . those are only a few things they need to give us to be taken seriously. This game is an EA cash cow, and I know this because it still exists, and wouldn't, if the drug dealers running EA weren't making money. They care about their greed, nothing else.

Yup. The entire thing is a giant piece of trash. If they're objective was to get me to spend money, they've failed.

Well said Ellie. Completely agree. I used to pvp all the time and then, they made these changes and I quit. It really tells you something, how idiotic the devs are, that they could not see this coming a mile away? anyone who plays the game could. 90% of people in the queue are there to get their daily and weekly done. If that is not longer possible, and it isn't, they'll leave, just like I and many, many others did. TL:DR forcing players to behave a certain way inevitably backfires.

Dear Daniel, Where is our double xp for the month of December, or, are you guys Scrooge this year?

Bummed about that too. I was planning on subbing again, but not if i can't level, seems rather pointless.

Well said, and well written. And no, i don't think they spent even five minutes debating this before deciding to implement it. It's stupid on so many levels. Hardcore raiders and pvpers don't want casuals showing up without a clue. Being a casual, I get that, and will stay away out of politeness. A developer friend of mine said, no developer ever thinks anything that they did sucks. These guys are proving him right . . .

Terrible idea, for all the reasons everyone else has stated. I'll also add, that, not only is that content totally inaccessible for most, it also gives me no reason to run unranked matches. At least if there were a small chance, I might step into warzones again. Did you even think about this at all, before posting? sure feels like you didn't.

well said.

I would love to know too.

yup, which is why is absolutely pointless to play anything other than human in this game. Unlike in a game like Dragon Age Inquisition, where your race completely transforms your experience, swtor offers virtually nothing in the that department. Really tells you just how cheap they are, that they can't spend the money to pay for a few more dialog choices. Really, really, annoying.

agreed, the walker missions are stinkers. There's no way around them, other than to skip, which i do, religiously.

100% agree.

"content that requires other people is now vastly inferior in bringing in conquest when compared to fleet busywork&planetary heroics. This is crazy." Nope, it's awesome. I love how easy it is to get conquest done on my many, many characters. Group content can die in a fire. The less I have to party with the human trash in this game, the better. Turn this game into the RPG it should have been, and shove the "Let's party with 20 people I can't stand" to get anything, out the nearest airlock.

Yea, that's a fair argument to make, assuming they were treating everyone equally. They aren't. At best, as a class, we're middle of the pack damage wise. What are they doing to the top parsing specs? absolutely nothing . . .if you going to balance classes, balance them all, not just the one that makes people upset, is my point. My vengeance jugg, for example, has better damage, better survivability, and much stronger cooldowns, i destroy stuff on her, and they're getting buffed . .lol, like, where's the logic?

well they do, but no I've died piles of times and killed piles of times, been playing since launch lol. Didn't cry once. I'm just lamenting the loss of those sweet player tears. The smell of their fear. It was awesome while it lasted. Bioware is cutting off my sugar supply I'll still blow people up but, i can't humiliate them quite as much. Can't blame a girl for being sad about that. I also love how, say mercs, have been retardly op for years, and nothing is ever done. And the second assassins are dangerous, they nerf us.

and that helps me blow people up in 10 secs, how exactly? here's an idea, stay out of my way in warzones.

and mercs can continue, apparently, avoiding the use of theirs.

agreed. We were already just middle of the pack dps wise. Now, not sure what will happen.

Assassin / Shadow The Death Knell Set Bonus has changed: 4 piece: The cooldown of Recklessness / Force Potency is reduced by 15 seconds. Whenever you activate Recklessness / Force Potency you gain Reckless Critical, making your next Maul / Shadow Strike or Leeching Strike / Serenity Strike critically hit Thanks for screwing us Bioware. Appreciated.

great idea!

Hate the change. Basically no point in playing assassin anymore, and its not like we were top dps to begin with. Huge hit to dps. I should get something in return, i.e. high damage, for wearing tissue paper armor. Thanks for making us a joke. Why do assassins keep getting screwed with their pants on? its really annoying.

Sorry to necro this again, but, I really wanted to say thank you to the OP. What you've done is truly exceptional and appreciated. I was agonizing over using auto-complete for a long time, literally years, because I didn't understand how it worked at all (something, Bioware should rectify, btw), and I didn't want to endanger my many romances with Lana. Thank you so much!

People who want to feel special lol. But seriously, I earned it too, and I agree, I think a CM option and collections would be fantastic.

Exactly how I feel too. By doing what they did, they limit the content available which makes my monthly membership feel far less rewarding. I'm a whale too. They definitely would lose a lot more than 15 dollars a month if I quit.

Yea it is, hundreds of dollars, which obviously it'd be crazy to ask that of anyone. I'm just wondering if they could have reserved slots, for dark vs. light toons, like free slots just for the event. That way everyone could participate. It just sucks that, that event was the only way to get heirloom gear. They could also design a new event around toons that have already been made. I've heard they're looking at options, but don't have any clear idea yet. We will see.
