It's the same in EVERY MMO.... just sayin'.

Female officers in the Empire are referred to as "Sir". Mr. Remus was obviously confused.

To answer this question - I haven't done a single space mission since my second toon hit 50. Why? Simple answer: The space missions feel irrelevant once you first hit 50. What good does a pimped-out ship do if I can't use it in PVP or group PVE? Also - it's not like a nearby player can inspect me and see that my ship has full Artifact Grade 5 gear.

First off - I've been a constant sub since launch, very pleased with the game as of right now, but not the direction it's been heading as of late. It seems the only way I derive enjoyment from the game nowadays is to actually play it and not read what's being said about it. Secondly, and lastly, one of my main gripes with the community team right now is the lack of activity on the Dev Tracker.. This is one of the main places I check throughout the day for updated info - not Twitter, not Facebook, and certainly not a third-party fansite. I understand that sometimes there is not much to announce other than maintenance outages or server disruptions - That's OK. I'm fine with that. What I am NOT fine with is the lack of actual interaction with the subscribers. It doesn't have to be anything game-related, but I'd feel a lot better if the community team took the time to interact on the forums with the people who help pay the bills.

I hope you don't mind if I answer your question with a question of my own.. Does Quinn provide a level of healing that has a noticeable impact on minimizing your downtime between mobs? For example, with my 50 Marauder, Quinn (In a mix of Columi, Tionese, and Recruit Combat Medic gear) does a pretty good job at keeping me alive when taking on Elites and weaker. In group settings, his Carbonite spray comes in handy with keeping a mob corralled until I can get to it. I can bounce from group to group with almost no downtime at all. When it comes to the Immortal Juggernaut that I am leveling (24 as of right now) Quinn shines even brighter, and compliments my tank perfectly. I don't die.. period. I can solo Champions and pull multiple groups of mobs simultaneously. So more or less, once you get Quinn to the point where he keeps you alive like that, pat yourself on the back... and roll on that IA/Smuggler gear that no one appears to want.

I think Jango Fett is mad that Mace Windu beats him all the time.

I think I may have found a fix to my issue... I had my strafe buttons bound to Shift+A and Shift+D, for left and right, respectively.. After reading this thread, I played a game of Huttball and experienced the same issue, strafing left uncontrollably. I attempted the fix of pressing Shift+A to register a "Key-Up" event, and my marauder righted himself. It hit me.. I use Shift as a modifier for many of my keybindings.. when I combine that with the fact that I am almost constantly moving as a melee DPS, it's all too likely and predictable that I would find myself in that situation, given the info here. I went into my bindings at the next available opportunity and unbound Strafe Left and Strafe Right completely. It's still too early to tell definitively if it's fixed, but it looks promising.

I've had this bug since before launch as well, mostly on my marauder during PVP, but I've seen it on other characters since.. Only fix I know is to unbind autorun (or bind it, doesnt matter) and get back in the game. Reported it several times and was ultimately told to run the repair tool (did that) and reset all my keybindings, which is NOT an option. They can have my sub before I do that. I've never seen this in WoW btw.

You get mad when they don't patch an issue, but then get mad when they take the servers down to fix said issue... Confused poster is confused...

This... you're my new favorite person. Also, it's 10 minutes to 9AM on the East Coast... go have some breakfast guys, and chill out.

Bump - this happens to my Marauder all the time. In-Game CS has been most unhelpful trying to get this fixed.

I really think this is a low priority issue, so I don't mind giving up a head or two if it means we get ahead on the development schedule of other pressing matters. (hey, I tried) Personally, the only companion that I've seen affected by this issue has been Gault on my mercenary. It really doesn't matter to me, because I use Torian and only pull Gault out when I have a gift for him.

I've been saying this for quite sometime, and wholeheartedly agree. I'm relatively new to the MMO genre (2 years playing WoW) and my guild is even newer than that, the average player in my guild had no previous MMO experience to begin with. We collectively recognize that there are some things that need to be done on the front end soon such as server transfers and the like, but we're enjoying the game as it is right now. It's browsing these forums that make my day turn just a bit on the crap side. BTW Lunga... Tou-effing-che. LOL

The fact that the quoted rage-filled post was the first thing I read after Joveth posted makes it seem very likely to me. I can't claim to know what the dev's motivation for posting what they do, when they do, as I am neither an employee of Bioware or psychic. But really, would YOU want to come here and try to deal with that? Kudos to the devs for it. In my opinion, and SWTOR isn't the only place I've seen it, but the sense of entitlement that seems to have gripped gamers (including myself at times, I'm no exception) nowadays is both astounding and sickening. Game's been out for what, 5 months? And people are treating it like Bioware's had years to fix things with no luck. Look at it from a programmer's point of view... this game is massive, and I can imagine a de-compile dump containing hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lines of code. But we're all wanting different features "now now now", and if we don't get it "now now now", it turns into "F U BIO I UNSUBBED". And if you do happen to get it "now now now", and it's not EXACTLY the way that a small subset of your playerbase wanted it, it turns into "F U BIO I UNSUBBED". Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

And this is EXACTLY why dev's don't often post here... Honestly, if you hate the game that bad, why don't you A: unsub if you've already done so, B: edit your hosts file so that your computer is INCAPABLE of navigating to SWTOR.com, and C: go play something else?

I get this bug in combat quite a bit on my marauder... doesnt matter where, whether it be warzones, flashpoints, or dueling, it's a huge pain, and it needs to be fixed. My marauder is unplayable while the bug is active.

How does this minor graphical error get 5 pages, while a movement bug thread (which to me is a bigger deal, as it actually affects *cough* GAMEPLAY) has three replies? Priorities people...

I agree, and think you ripped a hole in the time-space continuum and peeked right in my mind last night. I had this idea while messing about with the new UI features.

Doesn't look like all the rage over ranked warzones are affecting my server too much... we're seeing record numbers of people on the fleet tonight. Somewhere between 150 and 210, we havent seen these numbers since launch.. (Irrelevant post over... please recommence flaming)

You get creative, figure out what you need and what you don't need. On my 50 merc healer for example, I'm not going to be using Rocket Punch a lot, so I remove it from my action bars. If i ever need it again, I open my ability panel and bring it back on.

You think they WANTED to pull RWZs? Come on... use your head... And it's not like it's "gone" forever... if it came out next week, I'm imagining that everyone unsubbing would feel pretty stupid. "Do you want it right, or do you want it right now?" /agree with previous poster... worst community overall ever, by far... the 360 kiddies have nothin on you guys. /applaud

No character copy tool on the PTS - WAHH Unsubbed No Ranked Warzones - WAHH Unsubbed No Arenas - WAHH Unsubbed Not how it "should" be - WAHH Unsubbed ...you are aware that BioWare is working from scratch here... right? Blizzard set a very high standard with WoW. They've had SEVEN YEARS to perfect their craft... and they still don't get it completely right half the time. It's understandable that people are crying over this patch - You came from a well-established MMO that has existed for 21 times the length of time that SWTOR has existed. You've been spoiled. That's ok. Blizzard is not BioWare, BioWare is NOT Blizzard. I'm pretty sure that at no time did BioWare devs have access to WoW's source code, nor were they assisted directly by Blizzard devs at any point in the game's development or anytime thereafter. They're the competition, why would they? Everything they've done, they've done on their own, and I think they've done a decent job so far. Not a perfect job, because no one is perfect. There are aspects that can and should be fixed. But they've done a decent job overall. Everyone that's unsubbing - Why don't YOU make your own MMO? Developing and coding a project of this scale is a monumental task. I'd like to see what you can come up with... on your own. By the way, I feel it fair to mention... all those that are looking forward to Guild Wars 2... the publisher, NCSoft, also made a little MMO called Aion, recently gone F2P. Let me know how GW2 works out for you, mmkay? /rantmode = 0

Bit spoiled, aren't we? And every single post like this, too. Pandaria <- That way. I won't miss you.

Thats what I thought... I'm assuming Op heal set for Quinn, Sniper set for Vette, Jugg set for Broonmark, and so on.. TY for confirming what I thought might be true

Bit of insight as to where this post is coming from, first and foremost... I have a Valor 26 50 Marauder who PVPs from time to time (read: casual), whenever the mood strikes. I just now exchanged my Energized legs for a Centurion piece, thus completing a full PVP set comprised of a mix of Cent and Champ gear. My question is: What use do I have for Cent commendations now? My gut tells me that I should be buying IA gear for my main companion (Quinn), but I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Is there a way to trade up? Or does it seem viable to gear companions next?
