Bioware didnt hire anyone. EA own both Bioware and Mythic and merged Mythic into the Bioware label. The only reason why WAR kind of failed, is because it lacked polish and EA pushed it out way too early.

I just havent seen any since the patch. Before, there were a few on both teams. Its just rather odd.

Totally agree. Personally, I feel that Bioware have been just plain lazy with pvp. Targeting is a joke, and you missed out about ability lag. This also happens against NPC. Huttball has the potential to offer a LOT more. I would like to see the ability for players to place bets on matches as well. Where are the rankings, pvp stats? Come on Bioware stop playing with yourselves and work on pvp. Bioware are trying to wrap people up in cotton wool when it comes to pvp, and this is something you just cant do. After all, its called Star WARS for a reason.

Although I dont care about them missing, the last 10 Huttball games on my server, there hasnt been a single Consular. Voidstar and Civil War, are different stories - with up to SEVEN on one team!!! Bug? Or has something changed that I dont know about?

I went pure 'Madness' and can damage hard. However, the down side is that when confronted by Consulars, they just rip me apart with their Kinetic throws. I dont have enough spells to interrupt them so I can die quickly. Kills, can rank up there but right now I am lvl 44 and looking at moving from Madness to Deception. Its a case of finding what works for your build and ensuring that you have the correct gear to make the impact you need.

Drop me a whisper/email in game. Sith Assassin looking to join a good pre made team on our server. Currently lvl 26 and moving up. Look me up - Mauluk on Euro server Nightmare Lands

For a game released in 2003, it offered a lot of vision, a huge sandbox and allowed players to do what THEY wanted, instead of having everything handed out to them. The problem with many of todays MMOs(SWTOR included) is endgame content. Most players will rush to the end, and it becomes a cycle of being unable to release content fast enough to retain the player base - something WoW is suffering from. Crafting, Character creation - Galaxies slaps SWTOR in the face here. Whenever I look around a server here, classes look identical, same companions, same almost everything. The last patch even saw them have ground to space artillery cannons you could use, player housing, player bounties, open pvp, ability to raid any planet you wanted - SWTOR never set out to be SWG 2 but SWG had alot to offer a player back in the day, before NGE destroyed it and it should be respected for its sheer vision and scope. And Bioware should be mindful that a simple design 'mistake' can cost you tens of thousands of players like when the NGE arrived on Nov 15th 2005. Long live Eclipse and Euro Infinity!!

Mine wont arrive until Dec28th from Amazon US but will probably grab the DD from Origin to tied me over. Expensive month December but I dont give Xmas presents to anyone but myself ho ho ho

To be truthful, I will make this quick as I am suffering with man flu! so cant use 'search' - if you ever had man flu, you will understand just how bad it is. Anyway - I wanted to make a thank you thread to everyone at Bioware for a) allowing us 2 extra days of early access b) working through the night to prepare for it c) ensuring that everything is running as smoothly as possible. This is probably the most critical time for the game and its great to know we have a dedicated team of men, women and droids all working hard to give us an outstanding experience. THANK YOU BIOWARE! /signed DMUK
