Greetings , I haven't posted on here in quite some time ...the forum just got to "salty/entitled " IMO but I just finished the eternal qualifications and thought I would make a few comments. My Eternal Completion achievement Overall even though I am Legacy Level 50 and have completed the requirements many times the majority of it was still very enjoyable despite the fact that some "vets" think this was a "slap in the face" and threw temper tantrums on various social media outlets because the qualifications were not retroactive. For the record I am not planing on going any further due to the fact i do not find the Legendary qualifications fun. However unlike some players in no way do I think I am entitled to any of the awards since I am "choosing " not participate and proceed any further. That choice is really the logical counter argument to the " retroactive comment" - these people are basically saying Which not only a facepalm worth statement but also just proves that a % of gamers seem to get an even get an even greater of "entitlement" the longer they play. My point is It doesn't matter if you were the first person to ever log into the server ....if you dont like the event don't participate but you're not entitled to anyting and throwing temper tantrums about it at least imo just makes you look bad in many ways. Not every event has to be geared towards "vets" TL/ DR Veteran player enjoyed most of the event and thinks people who choose not to participate as the event is planned out don't deserve anything, "mostly enjoyed " I was "forced" to pvp to get to valor 5 ( thanks for the valor boosts btw at least that made it quicker) There were some Non droid assist fps that were somewhat annoying to collect but those were just small bumps along the road and I could handle them. I stopped at eternal simply because the last section has a lot of what are simply "niche" related activities ( raids, hard mode etc) that are not part of the "general gameplay " experience. That for various reasons i do not find fun. I really have enjoyed the path you have been on and want to thank you for .. - focusing on story and putting in monthly content (Still miss kira btw) ( need more romance quests that continue after the last one in the class stories) - making things easier ( the droid is amazing ) - Less annoying "mechanics" annoying " bosses where you have to have to run around with something while you're trying to fight it. --i say less because some of the fights in the EC are really annoying and need to be toned down IMO. I really only have one piece of feedback that could turn this "mostly enjoyed " into a fully enjoyed... Please in future promotions could you please not tie in the niche related activities ( hard mode ,pvp , raids ) or forced or "bribed" grouping in to the general public qualifications . or if you are at the very least as an alternative could you please at least give an alternate route that does not have these qualifications but gives the same result / prize SWTOR is a great Story based MMO and I love the way you're slowly making the game more story oriented and soloable with less forced grouping and hope that you continue this trend. also please remember that "difficulty , challenge and "mechanics" " does not necessarily make things more fun .. remember you put it a "story / normal" mode into your games for a reason. Thanks I hope this bit of positivity lessens the amount of salt some players have been feeding you and may the force be with you always.

op IMO your post does not justify data mining/ or posting/ responding to data mining i in any way . LOL QFT... i rarely post on here anymore ... but i just had to give this comment a +1 The op just proves so much salt and players thinking they are on the board the directors and entitled to full disclosure for being a "customer" ...i even see posts that seem to imply bioware needs to "ask permission" before making changes. **facepalm** Most of the time its just the niche crowd that makes the most noise ( raiders pvp min/maxers ) and is not accurate sampling of the general player base as a whole. Really sometimes i dont think some people realize really just how minuscule the people who post on the forum or social media is compared to the actual active player base. Devs in general make decisions based on metrics of all kinds they gather from day to day use of their programs ...not what is posted on forums

Its not just the op in this thead its all over the forums right now people of that opinion cant help it ...its the only way they can even have the illusion of appearing as a mountain ......instead of a speed bump.

I know you were serious that the point calling someone a great "pr" person is no differnt than calling someone a "fanboi" at least imo btw just in case you though i was referring to the comment ....the rating was for your post not your comment

op short answer ...Yes and worth paying for. Very good observation and point you bring up there are many " Bioware/ea have dooooomed swtor threads" My theory is the vast majority of "group is life" " No group stuff leads only to dooooom " is they suffer from delusions of grandeur about popularity and and importance. They truly believe that they are a majority and foundation the game sits on and if they leave the game cant survive or put another way ....they believe the world is flat no matter how many times you tell them its round.

[sarcasm] wow such an unexpected and mature response completely original..[/sarcasm] sarfux has a point that is exactly what you are doing...sooo much salt...... My review -1/10 (and i am being generous)

LOL ^^^ awesome OP I completely disagree with you....and I will just leave this here as why

^^^ this I don't really care about the crates I am getting a ton of them anyways its actually its fun... The H2SF on the other hand are the definition of tedious and very unfun.. I m not even not even bothering with them right now . matey someday once i am totally over geared for it with max influence....maybe.....

IGN review of KOTFE ^^^^^^^^ ummm your a little late .....happy reading...ohh and for your convinebnce

Thanks Eric You have already announced everything I am looking forward to PVE wise and I think this is a great move for swtor 's future.. I am still puzzled by why you went with the ...robot... as your subscriber perk.... but if your metrics say that he is the most popular as it did with the story and companion content and that is what the majority wanted I will just accept that I part of a minority in this case ...really does not change anything for me just another thing i wont ever use .... like that nico companion..... Mabey next time you could have a sexy new human female romance companion since you have robot and a male now. ( or a temp comp you worked with returning one come back ...Jaxo...... for example I would love that...) I really love the new focus on story and solo pve as you said story has always been the true core of SWTOR and what sets it apart from, other MMORPG in a great way and getting new monthly repeatable story content updates is going to be amazing, **Hint .....miss kira....hope her chapter comes sooner than later LOL **

1. Im legacy level 50 and i been here for a long time . You just made another useless generalization. 2. I love how you don't include all the expansions up to now as "new" ...till after ...as a sub note.... 3 so i say 10 so you say 10-15 just to beat me ? Again ..sooooo.....I have completed all solo able content starting from the 1st chapter (all planets all expansions etc) multiple times..... and i am still having fun. 4. The rest of your comment is just baseless generalization as well. Honestly the rest of your statement will just lead into another broken record conversation. Also you are still using "people" in a general term in a failed attempt to make your point more valid. Try speaking for yourself for a change. None of that is a great draw to me or what keeps me here. Final point being : If Bioware metrics showed all that as "true" as you stated above they would be making differnt content.

1-2 hours of repeatable story content It't seem that fact is the banner flag for some people to hold above their heads like some sort of rallying cry. LOL wow where did you get the raw stats to say that ? Please if there is a website out that has a chart you looked at to determine that link it. I love how people have been pulling "facts" like this out of the air lately. that generalization that just as bad as the " raiders are more monthly loyal subs" and "raiders play more that story people. "story is not content that is repeatable" comments i don't raid or pvp and I sub and i have been averaging approximately 10 hours give or take per week and that is without monthly story updates.

well said I like the direction they are heading and hope they continue to improve store and companion interaction and relationships.

This ^^ I mostly disagree with this review , Love the story and their renewed focus on it,, love the fact that it can be soloed at story level difficulty..among other things ... personally i give it a 7.5/10

compare you play though with this maybe you missed somthing full mako romance video

SerraShar makes a good point. You not only contradict yourself but you also come off sounding like an elitist who thinks doing "hard things" makes them "better" than others. If you enjoy doing "hard mode" that does not mean you "deserve" extra loot over someone doing the same content in "Normal mode or easy mode" for the sole reason of "becase its harder" its something you enjoy doing and you CHOOSE to do it at that level. Fun is subjective- that is a fact In an ideal scenario no matter how you chose to play the game or at what difficulty you enjoyed everyone gets the same loot. That is truly "players choice" and a win win situation.

^ agreed. I have said several time that i bellive some like the op and people who share their opinion are suffering from delusions of grandeur.

II will agree with this as we... I have gone though 1 - the entire solo content base multiple times ...why becase its fun

[sarcasm] Block anyone who disagrees with you . Very mature choice [/sarcasm] This is one of the ways people get delusions of grandeur ...they block everyone that disagrees with them then pooof the world is a differnt place......from what they can see....... and they agree with all the posts. **facepalm**

Q 1&3: The post I have made in this topic have been about peoples attitudes specifically 1 the doomsayers 2 People who think RPG MMO's exist to serve raiders , they are the primary content users, most loyal long term customers, biggest player base and no game can survive without them things of that nature. 3 Statements that are presented as facts but really are not like the post you responded to, I have not actually posted about the loot but if you really want me to make a judgement call and take a side In general i personally don't believe that loot should be distributed based on difficulty. Fun is subjective- that is a fact IMO: just becase some people like difficult content does not mean they "deserve" better loot In an ideal scenario no matter how you chose to play the game or what you enjoyed everyone got the same loot. based solely on that stand point if the people are raging that ..... "NIM should get guaranteed loot becase NIM" ...then the answer would have to be Yes I would have to disagree with that. Based on above that i will have to agree with the Bioware post. ( prediction : more bio fanboi reply's incoming i suspect) Q 2 yes IMO this is most definitely a case of Over reactive post is over reactive I based this on an earlier comment i made. so much rage in this thread ....but this entire thread can be summed up by that statement and the below question If you enjoy that type of content why do you need an "incentive" to go there? If you truly enjoyed it you would engage in that content regardless of rewards . I have gone though the entire solo part game multiple times regardless of the reward or that the content was old ( as others have complained about) or any other factor there has been a rant thread about. Why ....simply becase i have fun doing so. why is it so different if you doing what you enjoy? ....if you "enjoy" NIM ops you should engage in it regardless of the rewards. simply becase you have fun doing it If it cant stand on its own then obviously it is not popular. For example : Say they gave out the same % chance of BIS gear "story level" soloable heroics and FP as the do on NIM level ops. I would put money on the fact you would get some people complaining about how long the ques are, how no one groups anymore , or how bio is "killing" ops ...when really its the player base that is making the choice.

And the most you could do to counter it was a troll response and personal attack . raging fail troll failed

i don't know how you came to think those were "outrageous" numbers .... did you count each post? are they "unique votes" (1 per unique poster)? You do realize that even if alll 531 were unique how small that is to swtor play base . but that not the case i am not going to spend the time to check but ....... i would bet that the % of unique posters inthis thread is actually very small in other words .... ridiculous proclamation is ridiculous

FTFO - if you thinkthe game is "dooooomed" completely without new ops your having delusions of grandeur on its on the popularity and overall importance to the life of the game.

This ^^ I prefer "story mode" myself I very high presence +high influance fully augmented armor and I use command stims for that extra comp op'ness

So much this ^^^^ include people writing essays on how swtor cant survive without what they call "actual content" It comes from them thinking they are the top of the food chain delusions of grandeur they truly believe no game could possibly survive without them or there content.
