  1. I'm not prepared to dismiss the time required to download the game as being "only" a couple of hours- on my older PC when I did a full download in 2013, the full download (no Bitraider back then) took almost 24 hours including all the time spent installing the chunks onto a not-fast HDD. On the other hand, it's time well spent, as you'll never have this nonsense again on that machine.

     

    Yeah, I've uninstalled and reinstalled this game several times, I usually only pop on for summer and Christmas breaks.

    It normally takes around 11 hours, though my surface pro 3 downloaded in in about 1.5 hours. However I can honestly say I haven't experienced majority of the issues people post about.

  2. There's always that moment of doubt when buying this sort of thing from Some Dude On Ebay

     

    Yep, I always doubt the CE when I see it selling online for less the 70 US Dollars.

     

    I vote in favour of having (at a reduced $money price(1)) the digital parts of the CE be available as a package. I'm not saying to give it away for free, mind you, and renewed availability of *new* full CE boxes wouldn't be a bad thing either.(2)

     

    I to am in favour of this, though I would prefer a New CE box. With new voice acting content in the works EA/Bioware would have a great opportunity to create a New CE box.

  3. ^+1, Signed and Supported. Guilds, especially larger ones, really need more than just 1 stronghold. So many strongholds and can only pick 1 very tightly limits meeting up in different guild areas and what we can do. Alderaan SH displays all the decorations and trophies my guild has (not to mention we like the setting way better), YET we've compromised and took that trade-off over the Yavin SH where we can guild PvP in. It chops our guild's immersion and what we can do. RP guilds would greatly benefit from the diversity of meetup/ interaction points. Overall, be able to add multiple Guild SH's is a huge plus.

     

    So, you listed some pretty legit reasons. I want the extra stronghold so I don't have to delete the one on Dromund Kass I spent years decorating...

  4. Please search the forum before posting suggestions, as there's a good chance someone has already posted what you're going to suggest.

     

    I acknowledge it's frustrating to see people post threads that cover a topic that someone has already started addressing. However I felt that my suggestion differed enough do start it's own thread. I"m not interested in returning all removed content, and I'm only asking for a small portion of content from the category removed. My thread also highlighted a possible reason the content was removed, how that could be addressed, and why i felt it was a good idea to return it.

     

    It's better to concentrate efforts into a single thread that stays on the first page than to dilute them across several that get buried and forgotten in a matter of days.

     

    I don't expect people to search pages of forum before posting a thread, This coming from a guy who made a thread titled What's the Laziest Thing You've Done in Swtor. I do expect them to support exsiting threads when they are brought to their attention.

     

     

    Thank you for the links! I supported the ones I agreed with.

  5. Hey y'all. I'm trying to buy some Universal Prefabs but could't find them on the GTN. I need 5 of them. I'm willing to pay 3 Million credits for a stack of 5 or 500,000 per individual. You'll get a bigger pay out if you have 5 to trade. FYI i'm on the Imp side.
  6. There is no good reason to remove any of the cinematic content in this game.

     

    I can understand removing NPCs, but they should definitely keep a cinematic archive that players can access. Though NPC cinematic activation is still something I strongly prefer. Especial if the cinematic scenes are from playable missions.

  7. I've seen a few threads that request NPCs to be returned. I am creating this tread because I want NPCs back, but don't believe it’s realistic or valuable to return all of them. I believe the most realistic and valuable NPCs to return are those on the starting planets. Here is a few reasons why

     

    1.) Instant "new" Content. Players, customers cough cough, that started on 4.0 never got to experience the cinematic awesomeness that is “Man with the Steel Voice." The sequences of dialog, music, and choices made this easily my favorite mission to play. I know people liked this mission and sure new player will too. (To whom it may concern, if you have another favorite starter planet npc, that is no longer present, please share.)

     

    2.) Aesthetic Appeal. The first few pages/paragraphs of any written work are arguably the most important. Often called the hook, they greatly impact how much time and money are spent on any given work. For Swtor the starting planets are your first few pages/paragraphs. Especial since they are the only planets you can play on when Swtor is downloading. You'll want those planets to be your best or close to it. As a returning player who played on Hutta when it was downloading, I was greatly disappointed to find out that cut-scenes from "Man with the Steel Voice" were missing. The only reason I continued playing was because the BBA Event was going on.

     

    3.) Role Play Appeal. A Hero/Villain’s origin story is often the most fascinating or sought after pieces of information. The Heroic Missions added choices, cinematics , and dialog that were not class specific. This added personality, freedom and depth to my bounty hunter characters as they started their journey. I'll be honest, after the first planet heroics became less important to me. I haven't completed every heroic, but I have played every starting planet’s heroics. The choices I made in those determined what type of person I wanted my alts to be, and every time I played they weren't the same ha ha ha!

     

    I'm not sure why the NPCs were removed or how hard it would be to put them back. A fellow player Phazonfreak hypothesized that it had to do with changes to the Heroic System and the New Activity Finder. If this was the case I have a suggestion that I feel would be beneficial and realistic. Though some players might not be happy with it. (If they can comment on this post they shouldn't be that mad...) If you were to make the Activity Finder a sub only perk this would give you a reason to put the NPC back as well as generating another reason for people to sub. If the activity finder were a sub only perk free to play players would have to go to the NPCs to start and complete each quest, this would mean the NPCs would have to be there...

  8. Is it char wide, or per account? Wow I can’t believe after the early years of trolling I didn’t eat squelches. I guess my banter isn’t as bad as I thought. So, if we report toxic chat, if someone does it enough and we report them will they get squelched?

     

    Ha ha ha! I to am surprised I have not been squelched:p

  9. That is no longer the case. After the initial change was made to Completed Bounty Contracts one of the BBA vendors on the Fleet would allow you to exchange the old CBCs to a version that could be passed to alts, then converted back to CBCs. After CBCs were made a legacy currency that option was removed. Now, if you have old CBCs the only way to convert them to the new legacy wide version is to mail them to an alt on your legacy. When that alt retrieves them from the mail they will show on your currency tab.

     

    Thank you some much for the clarification! I had the wrong impression. I thought the currency tap that the bounty contracts were added to was unique to each character rather then shared. Though I'm still pissed that I can't sell contracts and rep, things are better then I initially thought.
