Well I still enjoy the game. Sure there are parts I just don't do, but there is still enough for me to play. The parts I don't play other do. I do wish however those that don't enjoy, would just move onto something else. The game is now in it's 9th year, everyone should know the score by now. It's not going to change, except, or don't and move on.

All this was explained preiouly in detail. However thank you for posting as it seems some needed reminding. What was never explaned however, was why some companions suddenly had there outfits/customiation abilities removed. We are not talking about temp characters or even characters you may end up killing/rejecting. Even now some of these are still not cutomizable. Not to mention the ones treated very differantly by BW. A good exsample of this would be Shea and Nico. Both can be gotten as a free gift, you can end upo never offically recruiting either, yet one you can customize the other not. That kind of does need a better explanation.

That was not the point I was making, the point was some disapere once their alerts is triggered, OTHER'S DO NOT! which was what i meant by "not sure why" I was well awhere of the reason to remove them, which is also odd in a way, as anyone who got them from the terminal could still encounter that issue you mention.

While I don't disagree with anything you have written here, most of this is more recent and not really why the "initial player base left" I was not here in the first few years so clearly not in a position to say what the early problems were. Having played recently the Marvel game, I can say that if that is any indecation, all games will have issues, not always the same ones but there are always issues. Which is understandable as we are all differant, have differant wants and very differant expectations.

A little confuzed, Is that not what I said?

Not really expecting much, so if there is a huge suprise cool, if not at least I won't be disapointed. At present time all I hope for is that the game is still around for year 11, 12 and onwards.

Not had time to read it yet, but will do before the release date 27th April. That said I agree with the above, these insights are always nice to see and read.

To exspand on post two, some companions that are avalable from the terminal do disapear once that companion(s) alert becomes acitive, not all (not sure why). So if you find one suddenly is missing, that can be the reason.

Agreed. I have no issue with BW doing other things besides story, but story should stay as the main focus.

I have always had an issue with venders full stop. BW add venders irrelevant on if it's an inclusive vender only open to a set number of players or one open to anyone or items dependant on rep points, it needs to be updated or there was little point in having the vender(s) in the first place. Now take the life day and anniversary venders, each year they have had new items, which is good but that does not change that almost all the others have never had an update. that's not good and in many ways kinda of a two finger salute to the players that either brought something or worked to get rep points. More so if rep points had to be paid for with real money as so many were in the early days. Even more so as in those early days you got them regardless of if you wanted them or not in cartel packs. To me if BW are going to keep adding new venders then BW also need to add to them and make them worth having in game, even if that's only once per year.

Agree it's an issue. I like KotFE/ET but issues like this just mean I now skip it all together same as Reven because of two bosses in the prelude to Revan. So now skipping a huge amount of story. As a story player this is not good. So well done BW.

OK thanks for the update. Now is there any possibility at all of getting the other original comps for other class's? Have it as part of the terminal on Oddessn as that way no alerts and only players who want them will use it. So not forcing them on anyone and no alerts to fill up there list as that seems such a big deal for some . Now yes it's BW's choice and I am asking not demanding but some comp's I would like on all my toon's others not so much but as we are all different on what we like and want. It be nice to give us players the choice, instead of you making it for us.

I preferred comps having there individualities . Even more so as there are so many with possible more to come. I like having more comps so don't take that as a complaint about the how many we have. As for cost well get over it already. There are enough credits given in this game you can afford it. So can everyone else. Now it has to be BW's choice not ours as doing this for comps would cost time and money and if they also do so for comp's after chapter 3 it's a lot of time and money. As said before us players should really not have a say. However comp's were changed because of players like you. So to be fair you are not in a position to complain if others are do the asking, you have done so plenty of times yourself.

To me it's more the inaccuracy of the gift, some say large amount yet give less than moderate amount on some gifts for some comps. Some large give around 180 influence others give around 2000+ at low levels. Personally I wish it would say large amount then actually give the amount of points it is giving to the comp you have active at that point. So if you have Lana (or whoever you comp is) and it says large amount then also say how many points when you put your cursor over it. As large gifts can range from 180 to 2280 for her. So is 180 still large? Well point of view and all that but I don't think so. As for the gifts diminishing value at higher the influence level? Well not sure why BW does this more so as you have so many comps (not a complaint I like having the option of a lot of comps) but that aside it's the actual amount of points the gift gives needs to be clearer before you use it.

I never liked stuns in games such as this which include our own characters having stuns. Even more so when the boss cannot be affected by them but you have no such luck. So OP I agree but I also personally don't think it's going to go away. I also agree with the poster above, I don't remember KotFE/ET been as bad as you say OP, In-fact places like Oricon with each mod having a character with Force Choke, or cannot remember which Corella heroic where each mob had poison Blade. . Still as said personally I don't see them being removed. Even if I would be happy to see them gone.

In this case maybe, but far too many players go well beyond that and the "we" they talk about in there words is "The Majority" Even say so in posts, Oh the Majority want this, The Majority think this, The majority think the same as me! etc etc. etc. So he IMO does have a point. So no I don't think its acceptable. You mention Command crates which I did like, How many threads complained about Command Creates? was it really that many? Consider how many players in total there were when players post in more than one thread. I know I posted in many of them if only to say I liked them, to me it was a good system mainly for the reasons you mention. to me if players start talking about the majority very often the perception is exaggerated beyond what it is. I used to work in market research and this was often the case. Once you get pasted the perception and look at the cold hard facts very often (not always of course) there is a very different outcome. a good example of this is (yes this is made up to make a point) If you get 4 players who make 5 threads each complaining about a single issue with 20 other players posting in each thread multiple times, its very easy to think Oh there's a lot of threads on this topic, when in-fact it's still just 24 players complaining. Is 24 players the majority? No, but the perception is, that it is. This has happened more than once on these forums. So posters here that keep using the word "We" or "The majority" can have a very negative effect. Such as the new gear system. As you pointed out. Now I agree with you on that, but I am just one player. that's all. So if I go on to post in 20 other threads on gear I still represent just one player. BW need to keep that in mind as that applies to every player. As each represent just one player. They don't represent there family, there guild or anyone. So yes it is IMO it is important.

That's not a bad idea, I do wonder if players in need of a guild would use it, or would recruiters just be posting to an empty chat room? still may be worth trying. I report Gold sellers often which don't get squelched, I surely cannot be the only one who does? So there must be a lot of players reporting recruiters if players are being squelched, seems odd. However if sending whispers to players out of the blue and those players report it as harassment HuaRya , that may indeed get you squelch very quickly.

Why yes there is, called suggestion Box, lol http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=349 As for what you are asking, New faces and body shapes probably not but got nothing to lose by suggesting it. New hair styles over time will happen as may many other custom appearances. Including new species, although we have just had one which was disappointing at least for me, just having a new species recently may mean it be a year or so before we get another. . If new customs do come then I hope BW at least take the time to do them right.

BW do a sweep of gold spammers normally around once or twice a year. Until 6.0 there were some but not as many as right now. Then again the sweep of gold spammers is due. To say it's because of the credit sink if just rubbish. There's no more now than from other times in the history of this game, as in just before the last sweep. It would be nice if BW do a sweep of these and while they are doing so also ban any account that has used them. I'm not a big fan of the credit sink but it's also not as bad as some like you are making out. Still it was asked for by some and as a player who does more asking than just about anyone else, well always different if it's someone else doing the asking.

All solo ones need to be taken from the activity list which says solo. just except the quest. Not done them recently but did do the battle of rishi as part of conquest today which is level 58. I just took the quest from the list and it was ok. Don't take quest from fleet if soloing unless you are capable of doing Vet mode.

+1 next...

I was just starting the new flashpoint as the end story and is stuck on the screen before you enter, guess that's why. Are other servers working? If so I can exit game and reload. If not then I just put a film on T.V.

Sorry still to high, just change it to what it was before. 2 + 2 + 2 needed per component you can then drop the amount we get from missions to also be in line with what we were getting pre 6.0 per crew mission. , Also reduce the grade 11 components to 4 for war supplies, 8 components is to high. Plus spread it out amongst all 11 grades not just from 4 onwards for war supplies. Crafting is not meant to be a pain its meant to be useful and a nice addition to gearing not what it has become. The changes you mention, while yes it's better than how it is now.. is still a far cry to what it was.

Nope had not looked there, thanks for the info.

If it's going to happen then it be at the end of the whole 6.0 xpac which is at a guess at least 12 months away could even be longer dependant on how may updates the story has before 7.0 That's if it happens at all and that's is a big if. I guess it be the same for any of the many possible love interests there are. This is only my opinion but that's far more likely as the marriage was right at the end of last story arc. Counting the Ossus as a prelude to 6.0 rather than the end of 5.0. BW could really drag it out I guess and be after 7.0 but personally I don't think so
