So, finally jumped back in to my first love, the Commando. First time since 5.3 and I think I am done. The DPS changes are not the main thing bothering me, it's the energy management. I am simply incapable of it. What is worse, this all stems from PVP complaining which is something I never cared for and would not miss it if it were removed completely from the game!! So, thank you, Bioware. I was an avid supporter of this game and even tried to look at the positive side of the ones I didn't like. However, you have taken a class which was amazingly fun and turned it into a chore. I play game to relax and have fun and you have killed that.

I cannot stand PVP. Haven't ever cared for it.

No, I'm not talking about race or gender..... I'm talking about builds. Really getting tired of having to play the same, cookie cutter, template for every class in order to progress through the end game content. In order to prevent the boss enraging, a group must put out a certain amount of DPS, which is perfectly fine. However, it seems the only way to reach that DPS threshold, is for each class to be played a very specific way. For example, if I'm playing a gunnery commando, I'm going to have to have certain gear and follow a certain rotation and have just the right mods, etc, etc, etc......In the end, every Gunnery Commando out there is running the same build and it only comes down to who doesn't "stand in stupid" or who can mash buttons in the right order the fastest. There is no diversity for play styles, regardless of class. Each class, regardless of whether it is a Guardian Tank or a Scoundrel Healer, will most likely have the SAME rotation and the SAME gear set up, and the SAME combat skills chosen. I would love to see a system implemented that would allow for some customization of play style and character builds. If that is something as simple as increasing a rage timer or as complex as putting in a "passive skill point" system that allows you to tweak your character, it would, at least, be a start. Anyway, time to go back to my Lightning Sorc....you know, the identical one that you have......

Fixed it. Somehow, my driver got screwed up. Had to reinstall video drivers and that seemed to fix it.

OK, I was playing SWTOR earlier with no problems what so ever.... Just tried to log in and got the following message; "This program encountered an internal error and will exit. Error code: C7 Incompatible system. Please verify your system is compatible with this game." What....the....*&^%*&^*&^?!?!?!?!

Strange.....I did a Google search for "charity" and neither Bioware nor Electronic Arts came up!!!....Weird!!!!

I like the idea. At least, in theory. To have "one of a kind" armor sets would require a LOT of resources so I'm not sure how feasible this would actually be. However, the idea DOES have merit. If there was some kind of appearance mod station that would allow for altering all the color of the armor set, this would allow for a "one of a kind" color scheme without requiring too many additional resources. For example, instead of sticking up with dye modules we don't like the color combination of, we could alter the specific color of the specific pieces as we see fit. Of course, it would cost cartel coin to make up for the dye mods, but I would pay to be able to dye specific parts of armor instead of a blanket color from a mod!!!

Clearly all the people still complaining and leaving clearly missed the notice it's changing as of Jan 24. Gonna be a way to get specific gear. I would suggest giving it a chance.

Outside of the normal "new Ops" thing, I've been thinking about this. There are a few things I would love to see added to SWTOR in 2017. I know this is mostly wishful thinking on my part, but aside from "new Ops", "new PvP", and deletion of RnG in gearing, I was wondering what others out there think would be good features added to SWTOR that have never been in the game.... For me, I would love to see the following.... 1. Manaan Stronghold 2. PvE Galactic Starfighter 3. A way to exclude things already in my collections when searching GTN. 4. Ops version of GSF which would include Capitol Ships. 5. Planet side Air to Ground PvP. 6. More specific control over decorating in strongholds. 7. Legacy wide bank for credits. 8. Craftable decorations which would be class specific. 9. Appearance slot for weapons and off hands. 10. Moddable relics, implants, and ear pieces. 11. More slot machines released which would award rep tokens for ALL reputation lines. I will more than likely think of more but that's all that comes to mind right now. :-) What are some things you guys and gals think would be great additions?

I started a toon just for armor and gear storage. I send all of it there and try to complete all the sets. Then, create outfits for my toons and xfer it. Once outfit is in the designer for a given toon, I send it back for storage.

Oops...was totally not thinking.....redacted

Nevermind...

Loving the Uprisings. Nice to have a way to grind GCXP without having to devote an hour or more to an Operation. Even some of the FPs seem to go on forever... As far as 4 DPS having a hard time, I think that is intended. Balanced group should be a tank, a healer and 2 DPS. Don't think it was meant for all of 1 character type to complete...

Since I was not a part of Beta, I have no point of reference. But keep in mind, there is a difference between "listening and taking into consideration" over mindlessly doing what you're told. Just because they may not implement a precise change exactly when the community says they should, doesn't mean it doesn't get implemented over time.

Galactic Command sucks!!! I mean, I would MUCH rather gear out my toon in max level gear in 2 weeks then NOT be rewarded in anyway for playing end game content!! Who doesn't want to endlessly grind on a main toon, spend credits to rip out mods and move to alts so THEY get geared without actually being played?!?! After all, who needs to learn to play a class when I can simply overgear and get carried by guildies that know how to play?!?!? This Galactic Command system requires me to continue playing and gives me something to work for which is garbage!! I would much rather gear up quickly then spend countless hours posting on the forums, chatting in fleet and Reddit that there's nothing to do!! After all, without Galactic Command, I wouldn't have anything to threaten to cancel my subscription over!!!! I've been posting since RotHC that this game is dying and I'm canceling my subscription!!! What about traditions?!?!?!?!!? ***For those readers who didn't catch it, this is sarcasm. If you hate the game changes that much, find constructive ways to voice your criticism. Ranting on a forum and verbally abusing the Devs in any way is not likely to bring a sympathetic ear. Voice your displeasure and criticism in a better way and it might be listened to in the end. After all, when people are insulted, they tend to stop listening. Not saying you can't be outraged or upset. Just saying, treating the Devs like they are beneath you then being surprised about them not listening seems to me like "cause and effect". Besides, ranting and raving on the Forums and berating the Devs comes across more to me like a temper tantrum of a petulant child than anything else. By all means, voice your displeasure at ANY game changes you feel strongly against, just do it like a grown up and they MIGHT actually listen.
