The reality is they don't post the technical details of why that can't get **** done and get users back into the system again and they sure as **** is not going to tell us anything. It is IT middle management fear ******** and a scenario they don't want to break. By doing something they issue can become worse. So with that in mind the people that are effected by it are just simply f*cked whether they like it or not. So maybe after the maintenance things will get back online again so trolling here or twitter isn't going to do you any good. What the pompous asses here will whine about is servers go down all the time and now they don't unless you got. a complete moron running things the reality is they attempted a fix with the login session servers and for them to do anything outside of a maintenance window isn't going to happen anywhere. Yes I am pissed about it to I had game plans tonight before the reset. I was 500 points away from a weekly thing to do and was in process of finishing it when I got booted out. Now this is why I un subbed a few years ago is because the BioWare *** hats can't manage sh*t over there.

I never was big into hoping servers. I usually just built up new characters where I wanted to go. Typically that has worked out. Leveling here and gearing here is not exactly hard. Plus a new perspective on it level similar things in the past. I guess maybe a sentimental value of leveled characters might mean something but the cookie cutter based character design is certainly not unique. Transfers is usually just a waste of time and money. -Tordo

PVP was a second thought to Bioware during design and it definitely shows. Maybe the next star wars mmo will get it right but until then it is what it is. -Tordo

I tried the ticket things and as usual did nothing but piss me off. So glad service is such a priority at Bioware. Can't really be mad it is probably a very remedial job that just requires very little literacy. Wait it sounds like IBM. Biotards, I will keep filing tickets till you get things working. That is awesome.

Yeah like putting in a ticket ever does anything except piss ya off. tordo

So essentially that character story is underwhelming and under developed as is then? -Tordo

My suggestion is don't buy them, they are bugged. Asking CS for help has not produced results for me in the past. They can barely manage unlocking accounts. Something as complex as a purchasing system is I think beyond their expertise. -Tordo

I would rather kick myself in the balls than contact CS. The CS here is more than useless. -Tordo

I bought one of those the ones that costs 7000+ coins. A few them were bugged and only produced 1 item I would say 4 out of the 25. Keep your money don't buy them. -Tordo

It was true getting battle master gear and comm'ing up for it was a huge bag of suck and a tremendous waste of time. Considering that I think looting comms until the purchaser feels comfortable enough to purchase. Also to think of the time wasted at getting war hero gear makes me want to shelfware this game really quick. So yes I do want skies the limit on any comms rewards or anything else. -Tordo

I disagree other MMOs handle this one to date. SWTOR seems to stack the holy **** out of it. So it seems the more it discouraged by the player community the more the developers insist upon it. SO I guess when they replace these ones that will listen we just gotta wait it out. Or if you don't like it move to another game. -Tordo

Bottom line is this new devs since 1.2. Since 1.2 devs couldn't pull it together. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about 1.4. The one thing that is consistent in this game is a knee jerk reaction to profession adjustment. So just wait a couple of days it will change. Yet again. -tordo

*edited* may bad I thought said mods. -Tordo

Hey I wanted the reload pvp thing to be in options I guess that would be really difficult to program that versus leaving it where it was. Ohhh well.....

Bite her on the ***!!!! woot woot

I liked SWG better. SWTOR had potential but it is designed by more idiots then what SOE ever had. Space is on rails, balance changes every release with the professions. Either design it right or figure it the hell out. Commandos *********** cloaking what a joke. -Tordo

I ddin't know commandos could cloak. No wonder no one wants to pay for this *********** game anymore. -Tordo

What I do find interesting is is LA essentially collects the licensing fee for the Star Wars intellectual properties. When SWG was shutting down or when they announced it the discussion free to play was brought up. From what I recall SOE said that wasn't possible due to the licensing cost. Now this one in less than a year since production release and it is going free to play. Since all contracts can be adjusted or altered by both parties that is not really an issue but somewhat strange how that happened. Considering the number of years dumped into this game. -Tordo

IBM 3850s to get past post take almost 7 minutes to past POST. Let alone application and OS restarts. The term hours could actually take effect. Not to mention if there is a database or other connectivity issues. Not to mention SAN controller updates, etc. The first temptation is to just restart a server in the middle of a prod day and a heavy prod day. It never goes the way you think. VMs will typically reboot faster but, depending on IOPs it may not perform better. And it may have been an application restart, not a full server reboot. -Tordo

Yes I have. Thanks for asking. Started in the late 80s as the rise of PCs started. Did installs of non-dedicated Netware during the 2.x days. Compiling my own netx clients very early on. Different client server landscape back then. -Tordo

The study could been performed offsite? And also the mutant zombie apocalypse killing the servers and the developers. You can see the problem this presents. -Tordo

Still funnny, reboot in the middle of a weekend. To most IT professionals what are the chances of those servers coming back online in reasonable time? "Ohhh this one reboot will be just fine" Crash, bang blue screen, kernel panic and ohh crap that patch didn't handle well. ROFL Come on folks this is Bioware's first MMO insert excuse, by additional excuse, blah blah. -Tordo

They may have not know or have not been paying attention that well. I would not take offense to it. I keep most of my game actions to myself so what they know or don't know can be often times a mis-judgement. Since I do keep quite on those matters I cannot expect them to know my designs, desire let alone my where abouts. If they condescending idiots then leave but there always the next guild of condescending idiots to replace them with. You gotta make up your mind on what to do based on your own actions. -Tordo

Nope been complaining and filing tickets since 1.2 and it's awesome design concepts. It is nothing current I assure you. -Tordo

Grouping should not be a complete mystery either. It is a simple button or the UI option could be placed in player options to keep button or not. Still the lack of thinking done here is reaches all new levels of being stupid. Do I need to draw stick figures for anyone including Bioware development to get it? ESC > Preferences > Controls > PVP Reque Check Box [X] or no [ ]. Is implementing UI design really that hard? Or should post it source code form? Name the code and I will do it. Google is really a wonderful thing probably a class or something to write it in I really don't need to model it myself. It makes to where SOE appears like rocket scientist and their implementation of things. -Tordo
