NO, no , no, no , no! Crafting is broken economy is broken, GTN interface is crap pain to find a group, no lfd tool community is crap gear progression broken run speeds are slow and too much running bosses are broken all over game engine is crap no macros no addons NO COMBAT LOG! PVP broken massive exploits continuing patches dont fix problems

I started noticing that rank 5 crew missions are mixed in the last tier of crew missions for underworld trading. i briefly scanned over the lower tiers, and none of the lower brackets are showing a mixed rank of missions. So why does the 49-50 underworld trading bracket have rank 5 missions? Should it not be all rank 6?

thats great news and thanks for taking the time to keep us informed. I know change is slow in a game this size so im glad to see that the ball is rolling to bring crafting up to par. live long and prosper SWTOR!

This doesnt surprise me after learning about how BW divided the games development between various teams located in different continents, and seeing how the dev lead compared the development of the game between these different teams to "its like trying to teach elephants ballet". The company seems to be run like washington where money rules all, efficiency is out the door, sensibility is scarce, and the little guys dont mean much.

/signed not to mention i cant dual box due to what looks like a limitation of the launcher.

They need to try making a few servers with different rule sets which would include experimenting with things some of the public suggest. I.E. LFD tool, Interplanetary quick travel, Macros, Add-ons. At this point what could be the harm is experimenting?

I originally liked aric and his decent dps, but as a healer i began using 4X around lvl 25 when mobs started doing too much damage to aric. Usually i pull with mortar volley because it doesnt trigger the compainion to start fighting. which gives me a chance to use the other ranged aimed shot (forget its name) to do more aoe dmg and trigger 4X to start attacking. At that point the mobs are all almost dead. while waiting on those earlier AOEs to cooldown, i will walk into the middle of another group of mobs and 4X follows right in behind me which gets him in melee range of the mobs so tow cable at that point is pointless. But yea, 4X isnt that great when not in melee range.

either your skipping too many quests or too many mobs. more often than not people are over leveling.

i would suspect its the skipping mobs part. you would be surprised at how much XP and merchant fodder your missing out on.

if i understand your post correctly, i had a similar issue on that ship. I had killed the boss and was fighting my way back to the exit and the activated bridge thingy disappeared when i was running across it so i fell into a glitched area underneath the bridge. /stuck didnt work. there is no QT point on the ship either. luckily i was able to fleetpass to the fleet and fly back to the justice ship to get my update which was to exit the ship....

i agree, alacrity is not effective enough.

lolol too funny.

Whats the IP for the game server? How are you determining that it is or isnt going thru akami? tracert? wireshark?

I think the mentoring system EQ2 style is the best i have seen yet. It allows higher level players to mentor the lower level player which lowers the higher level player to match the lower players level, all the while keeping the high level abilities but scales them down. This makes it more enjoyable for the higher level player as they have alot of abilities to use, but its not over powered. Either way its a no brainer for me that this should have been implemented early on.

My graphics card runs hot in certain spots of the game. There is something coded in the game making my card overwork itself. It happens regardless of my AA setting. It happens even when im in my ship. It does not happen all the time and i have confirmed its related to a specific spots in the game. I know as soon as i get close i can hear my grpahics card fan revving up. I watch speedfan like a hawk. Stop blaming the users. Its evident at this point that the game is causing alot of these problems.

Hmm i guess this is a large reason why things are messed up? I didnt know about this inbalance until now, but it all kinda makes sense now. Lower repub pop, plus a easy way to get pvp rank (turrets), plus pvp gear being best end gear = epic failure. I understand the game is "playable"......but seriously, its no fun when things are this messed up.

whats the max legacy level anyone know?

screw that, we need speeder access in all areas of the game! even in my ship seriously tho, why are we walking thru 5 zones to get from one planet to another

They need to take a look at EQ2's advanced graphic options. It had a TON of settings you could adjust to tune the app to better fit your systems performance. in SWTOR I quite often see the texture resolution swap around alot from low to high when i move my camera. This is the same thing that happened in EQ2 but i was able to adjust it higher in EQ2........SWTOR has no option for this setting.

BOTH scenarios suck balls. The current state of the game doesnt facilitate any real community. And a LFG tool will make everyone feel less accountable for their immature actions. Neither of which matter if you have a good guild

10 mins? i thought i died alot!! lol. ur doing something wrong if your getting to the 10 min respawn timer...

yes and no. I will continue to sub as i like the game, though i have not reached 50 yet....so that may change. My wife on the other hand just isnt into it, so i cancelled her sub last night.

i think this every time i have to run thru 5 "zones" just to arrive somewhere new. cmon guys this isnt borewars... as for the fleet pass and quick travel. quick travel is pretty good, i can spend 20-30 mins doing a quest then quick travel back to turn in. The fleetpass is too long in my experience. Often times i find myself using the fleetpass to quickly get to a different planet and then needing to get back to the fleet station, so i would like to see that cooldown similar to the quicktravel 30 mins. And why doesnt the fleet pass take you right to your ships hanger? Honestly i think fleet pass should be a ship pass which takes you directly to your ship whick would be docked at the fleet station.

well, hopefully they rolled those toons back. maybe its a good thing that the game is mainly a solo play so it wont matter much when the games economy is out of whack.

what are you smoking?
