I don't have a real problem not getting much for a loss, my issue is the unintended result of this. I've come into a couple losing games because people left the minute it went bad, why stay when there is no motivation to stick around and no punishment for leaving.

Boo hoo you are actually killable now, get over it. Stick with your team, find yourself a tank to guard you, get your team to protect you. No more running around in the open and surviving 4 people beating on you like mad men.
Healing was OP pre-1.2.
Did you have trouble with healers before this? You're a Sent according to your sig so you really shouldn't have unless you don't know how to interrupt or come in the wz in greens. If you ever had four people who couldn't take down a healer I don't know what to tell you but maybe pvp isn't for you.

The Jedi Consular's ending doesn't change at all no matter what you choose, in fact the story basically acts like you are a lightside Jedi even if you choose all dark option.
(Now obviously if you go darkside some little things will change but over all compared to the other classes not really anything big so I suggest going lightside it makes more sense with the consular.)
It changes somewhat but overall Jedi is kind of constrained if you go full darkside in reality you should be a Sith at that point. The game can't just have you switch over to the Empire though so they do what they can. Keeping in mind the lack of spoilers I'll just say on my Consular my ds/ls choice was mentioned at the end and it determined some of the choices I could make but it didn't allow me to do anything drastic like overthrow the Jedi Council or something.

yeah interupts should be able to interupt every and any heal ability a healer can use!
*fist pump* yeah! BALANCED!
Thank you. I can't speak for the other healing classes but as a Sage (heal specced) fighting a DPS that knows what to do is a always a losing proposition. The Sith Warriors in particular seem to be able to lock me down and dps me pretty quickly,

LvL 31 Sniper getting one shotted everytime I play. There needs to be balancing and if not fixed by 1/20/2012 I will be cancelling my subscription. There is no reason for this. I know I wont be missed and you can't have my stuff but maybe if BW starts to loose money they will listen. Tick Tock the 20th will be here soon.
Cool story bro.

WoW > SWTOR in terms of difficulty. ^_^
The fact that you put WoW and difficult in the same sentence without the word not just tells me you're still using safety scissors.

Warlocks had their own class quest: Imp > Voidwalker > Succubus > Felhutner > 60% mount quest > 100% mount quest
Every class at level 60 had their:
Dungeon set 1 > tier 0.5 quest (http://www.wowhead.com/itemset=187#comments post 2)
Druids had their bear > seal > travel > cat > dire bear quest line.
Shaman had their earth > fire > water > wind totem quest line.
Rogues had their poison quest line.
Warriors had their quest line for gear to benefit stances. ... etc.
I'm aware the they existed they weren't a coherent story and you know it. They've even "innovated" them out of the game now. At least on lock you can just buy most of what you had to quest for.
-
There is no shame in fighting for something you believe in.
WoW marches on, victorious.
Then why are it's numbers falling. And I'm not saying it's because of TOR (it isn't).
-
WoW innovated pinpoint smooth gameplay. The same combat system that exists today in WoW (read: the smoothest combat system ever designed) is the same one that existed in 2004.
You either didn't play WoW when it came out of your coming down with amnesia.
-
1) Been done in multiple single player games.
2) Benediction? Multiple other level 60 class quests; Shaman, Paladin, Warlock, Hunter
3) Group quests have existed for a long time.
4) Pets
5) Space Combat = Bombing/Vehicle missions in WoW
6) Adds nothing to gameplay. Aestethics.
7) Glowsticks exist in WoW.
I'm not claiming TOR was a be innovator but comparing the level 60 class quests to the class quests in TOR doesn't fly. It's like saying a pointy stick is the same thing as a AK-47 you can't compare them and you know it. I did the level 60 quests on 3 different characters and I couldn't tell you what any of them were about story-wise they were just ways to have you kill time and WoW didn't pretend any different.
Also saying that something is only aesthetic is a cop out, most of a game is aesthetics that why people play them.

You know what, STOP RIGHT THERE. I need you to stop. I'm not one to attack someone personally and you can report me if you want. You are being stupid about WoW's lore. The greatest story ever told in MMORPG history is warcraft. Go read the book on thrall's story. I don't like to read but the game made me actually want to read. I read his story and it was amazing. What illidan did and how the world fell apart. Man you are nuts.
Let me stop you right there, I also don't like to attack people personally but if you think WoW's lore is the greatest story ever told in an MMO there is something wrong with you. It's not even decent and I say this as somebody who has played the series since the original Warcraft Orcs vs Humans. The "lore" is a mess of retcons and flimsy excuses to fight somebody so you can get loot. I could forgive a lot but what finally made me say enough is the fact that almost every third boss seems to be somebody who should be on your side but has either gone crazy or is being controlled, it's just lazy writing. Twenty bucks says the next expansion has you fighting Thrall after he too goes crazy.
I loved those old games I actually used to enjoy following the lore and I defended the game as long as I could but it's clear that Blizzard has run out of ideas and is basically shoving out whatever they can think of to keep the game making them money.
I don't want to make this a personal thing so let me just close by saying if you enjoy WoW's story I'm glad somebody does. I don't have any anger towards the game and I enjoyed my time playing but I'm done with it.

i thought the same thing, but thought, hes probably like me, checking the forums on the way to bed
anyway, if youve worked in retail, you know there are a few people who are nice, have lots of time and comment on your service, how nice you were, whatever, but most people have no time for such things
and then there are those people who you helped just the same, but complain to your manager when you dont carry an item or call corporate because their wait time was higher or what not
point is, some people cant be pleased, will complain and theres no ifs ands or buts about it and theres nothing anyone can do except smile at them, agree with them, tell them your sorry and then make fun of them after theyre gone. the one thing everyone should learn, and the sooner the better, opinions are opinions, go form your own
p.s. if your leaving, can i haz ur stuff?
If you read the post I said I'm enjoying the game and essentially I agreed with you, some people are born whiners who you can't please, I just thought the OP's way of presenting the argument was poorly thought out.
-
I agree with you kinetic , at least think of this way in 3 months ppl who rlly like the game are gonna stay and be happy and troll will go away and play some other stupid games.
Prepare to be unpleasantly surprised then. The trolls won't go away especially on the forums. Wow forums are still full of whiners, if you went by the forums you'd think wow should have failed years ago from all the people who were leaving for good. Trolls are actually a good sign nobody bothers trolling a game that nobody cares about.
-
You do realize the irony of making a post defending the game then claiming you don't feel the need to be a part of the debate because you're too busy enjoying the game? I understand the point you were driving at, mainly that it's the complainers we hear from and that people who are content are usually silent.
For the record I'm enjoying the game myself apart from some serious lag spikes and the wait to get on.
-
What's your goal with this complaint, that they give you something better like Godmode?
Did you even read the post? Can you read? The complaint was entirely about vanity items and them not working as advertised. The OP never asked for something that would give an advantage over another player.
I'm so glad everyone complained about Healing like they did in Rift as well.
in PvP

Sorcs have one insta heal and it's a heal over time. The aoe has a long enough cast time that if you were at all competent you'd interrupt and even if you didn't you should be able to comfortably outdps it. Bottom line if you're can't easily bring down a healer right now it's a gear or skill issue.
