I still hope for more class oriented stories. My main is a bounty hunter, but it might as well be a Sith, or a Jedi, the way the story has been going so far. I actually liked a 3rd faction introduced, because I never felt that bounty hunters belong to the Empire, or the Republic, for that matter. But then, they made the story around the Sith emperor, the Force and the Jedi... It's time my character felt like a hunter.

True, but skill and gear are two different things. I agree that content should be harder as you progress, but it should require more skill; timing your interrupts better, learn to use cc, line of sight, kite etc. You shouldn't have to be forced to do content you don't want, just to get gear to do the content you want. Storymode gear should be enough for that.

OP is right. Ever since swtor consider itself a story driven mmo it should offer that storymode option. Let's face it, it's not a true mmo, in the sense that you need to group up in order to see the whole story, like you have to in wow, or everquest, for example. If you want challange and group play, it's also your right, and that option is there; it's called veteran and master modes. Feel free to play them.

The mission on Ilum is heavily bugged. I couldn't finish it today after several tries. At first it got stuck on find Lord Talgriss, the rest of the group managed to finish it. Then after a quest reset, I couln't interact with the generators. These last years have been nothing but a bug fest, and my patience is at a limit. Fix it, or not, I do not care anymore... You've just lost another subscriber...

Don't bother with it. That rotation is no longer optimal.

Hey there! From what you said you want a custom lightsaber. You can get one at the end of Tython/Korriban, or you can simply buy from vendors at the fleet or GTN. You can also find mods for those custom lightsabers there. GTN is our "Auction house", and it can be found on fleet next to the suplies area. Just open the map and it should show. I hope I helped.

Blood hunt is easy as it is. It just requires people to use their God given brains. To avoid being knocked off the platform always stay close to the middle, and the first to get thrown to the edge hits the koltos, as he/she won't be kicked a second time so soon.

Some classes were intended for specific races. It makes little sense to run a SW that's not pureblood/human. Same goes for inquisitor, storywise it doesn't make sense to be a pureblood.

I've even seen dps in need as well, and it didn't pop when I queued. IMHO role in need should only be active when there's a group member missing, and as soon as you queue for the RIN it pops, otherwise makes little sense.

Of course it is. This was nothing but some doomsayers that loosely interpreted an online article full of "I heard from the friend of a friend" and blew it out of proportion. Content is coming up, slow, yes, but coming. Just relax and enjoy the game.

Since the story is unfinished I expect them to at least finish it. It always was up to BW/EA. Anyways I'm with you guys. I want the game to pick up momentum again, and I'd like the devs to be more comunicative about their plans. I just don't think causing panic will help.

I'm not sure the end is nigh, as most people post. Sure, the game is not healthy, and we have a server merge that confirms it, but we have content coming up. They have to finish the traitor story arc, as well as the OP. They'll have to tie all that up with the heralds, so expect some bit of story to do that. Let's not blow things out of porpotion. You may not like the content but it's being made. The story is evolving. I leave my coment with a suggestion to EA/Bioware. You can make an expac and charge for it (unlike KotFE and KotET). People wouldn't mind paying for quality content.

I'd suggest rolling with a melee class. It keeps you on your toes, as you have to constantly move out of bad, wich makes the fight more dynamic and therefore less likely to bore you.

I find him fluffy. My least favourite conpanion is Ashara because, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense for the inquisitor to have a jedi around. She should've either get killed at the end of Taris story, or go dark side.

Hello, I'm looking for an imp side guild that runs ops at late hours. My work schedule only permits me to play between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. GMT and I'm hoping to find people to do ops with, both SM and MM as well as flashpoints and such. My toon's name is Khalid'ibn. Cheers!

I don't argue that's the case for Master mode, but for Veteran it's not needed. 4 lowbies can complete the FP as long as they mind aoe/follow mechanics and know their class. Back on topic, you'll always get people that want to skip them, watch them etc... I don't care either way, I have a very stressful job and I'm not about to stress myself in my game time. My advice is to just say in advance you want to watch the cutsceanes and do the bonus. And if someone is rude about it, the ignore button does miracles.

This only shows that different people have different experiences in flashpoints. I rarely encounter badly geared players or clueless ones in master modes. Usually there's the one from time to time, and the group carries him/her without much fuss. Apart from a slecect few, master modes are easy. Veteran flashpoints though, that's a whole different story. I prefer to come as dps for those, as usually the other players have very low dps.

To the people who want to heal or tank pugs. Tanking or healing vet FP's will only bring frustration and loss of faith in humanity. You guys are better off healing or tanking master modes, where your role is needed. If you feel less confident in your abilities you can always choose an easier one, like Hammer Station, or Athis and progress from there to other ones. I used to heal vets, and I hated it. Since I've started healing master I've re-gained the fun I had healing.

My focus guardian is doing more single target dps than before. I feel the rotarion has become more fluid and shorter. Focus management is very good, as well. So, I really like the changes. I can't talk for everyone, and I mainly do pve, so I have no clue how it is in pvp, but I think the spec was improved in 5.5.

I main a Focus Guardian and I'm often at the top of the dps list, when I do ops (with pugs, and with guildies). The "if I wan't to go dps I must roll a Sentinel" is a myth. I'm often asked in SM ops to FT, wich, with few boss exceptions, I end up just being another dps.

Try asking at the begining if people are willing to watch cutsceanes and do bonus. I don't mind doing it when asked. That said, it is understandable people wanting to skip stuff after the 6th Taral V in a row, just as an example.

My subscription will depend on how toxic the comunity will be in the new server. If I can do my stuff without grief, I'll stay subbed, if not, there are other games out there...

Summer of 2014. Late 2.xx era, if not mistaken, SoR came on christmas that year.

How about ESO? I hear it's pvp is beautiful (such a shame I can't properly run it on my setup). Or you can go to the most solid choice and go for WoW? I know they don't have lightsabers but at least they have good content.

Yeah, I know. It's just that some people thought it would be the best thing ever (the merges), and were cheering it, and now they get to see what's really like. It's not pretty but the game is on it's last legs. I really love star wars and I think there are very good things in the game, especially in vanilla swtor. It's one of the reasons I've always came back. But it's getting unbearable. It's not just the merges, nor just the removal of a physical server, and possibly a playerbase. The classes are getting attroucious balance (take a look at the Classes subforum here to see what I'm talking about), there's barely any new content, and the new content is bland, IMO. TL;DR: the game is dying, we should all start thinking about "moving on".
