Body type 4 is the only body type worth using

6% more damage on quickshot and 10% increase for tendon blast. Please look forward to it.

What point are you even trying to make? That the current class line up somehow covers the entire spectrum of star wars lore and there is no possibility for class additions? I hope not, as that would be a stupid thing to say

I find it hilarious that the maker of that vid states that he is no match for an equally geared and skilled melee in the comments. Kind of throws your whole rant off.

The issue is with worth, not cost.The expansion should actually add a decent amount of content and upgrades to justify the purchase. If this really is just a content patch that Bioware slapped a price tag on because they could, then it should not be supported simply off principle. No one should give Bioware more money just because they asked for it. Doing so supports bad business practices and basically makes you one of those drone consumers that corporations love so much.

I'll buy it when I'm sure that it's an actual expansion and not just a content patch with a price tag

Your ideas are all terribly boring. Adding another variant of Jedi or some kind of different flavored trooper would be stupid. The only way this would be worth it is if they added something that has no been seen in the game yet. The two things this new class would have to have are: A) A playstyle that hasn't been touched on yet. A pet class, a class that uses structures, a stance dancer, something of that nature. B) A Story that is fresh and new. The most obvious way to do this would to have this class be only for non-human aliens. Playing from the perspective of a wookie/transdoshan/rodian would be interesting.

No, they're treated as human

I agree. How dare these new players not intricate knowledge of the game and group strategy/communication.

You don't get an A for effort when you're trying to sell a product. You get it by, you know, making something appealing.

Judging class damage output or viability through total damage done in warzones is really damn stupid. Especially when you play a class (Merc, Sorc, et cetera) that pads its damage through AOE and dots. For a WoW example, it's like saying that Afflic locks are some kind of battle gods of destruction because they can reach ungodly amounts of damage by mindless tab dotting everything sight.

It doesn't have anything in place of the features. It's a shameless clone of another game with LESS than what the game it's ripping off had. If SWTOR had some original and innovative features of its own, then everything would be just swell. But it doesn't. All it brings to the table is voice acting of widly varying quality and cutscenes that play out like some kind of amateur movie with the awkward hand movements that came with Mass Effect

The entire reason people compare this game to WoW and are asking for the same features as WoW is because this game borrows HEAVILY from WoW. And by borrows, I mean it's basically a clone of WoW except with a star wars skin and Bioware storytelling draped over it. Basically, if you're going to make a shameless clone of and already popular game, you should be at least as good as said game if you want to succeed. TOR is WoW with less content, less polish, less features, and a less talented developer behind it. No one (except the dedicated fans) wants to pay $60+$15 a month to play an inferior version of a game they've already played. No one would be complaining if there was something to make up for the lack of X, Y, and Z. If there was several innovative features exclusive to TOR that would differentiate it from WoW, something that would improve the experience and separate it from its spiritual father, then there wouldn't be all these complaints. ...But there isn't. It's just lacking X, Y, and Z with nothing in place of X, Y, and Z.

SWTOR is just WoW with half the polish, a star wars makeover, and Bioware storytelling (ridiculous, awkward hand movements and cheesy camera angles included). It's pretty clear that Bioware wants the WoW fanbase.

RPGs aren't necessarily single player and there is more to an RPG than cutscenes, a linear story, and choices that don't amount to anything more than slightly altered dialogue. They shouldn't need to be learning these lessons. If EA is going to go with the generic everquest/WoW model, then they should have looked at other games and observed their faults and mistakes. SWTOR should be advancing and innovating, not playing catch-up.

Severity is the difference here. Mining nodes sometimes spawning in weird places is not the same as having your abilities sometimes not activate or having you mount disappear if you move too fast after summoning it.

It's totally true though. If you can't take the time out of busy day to do dailies to get entry level gear, then you're probably a lazy ***. I like how since there is no way to really monitor their contribution to the group, so many dps players simply don't give two ***** about proper gearing or rotations and will just waltz into a group and mash buttons until everything is dead or the group wipes (since Bioware's concept of "difficult content" is to toss add waves and enrage timers everywhere).

WoW, Star wars galaxies, DCUO, Warhammer Online, Rift, AOC, et cetera. I swear, people on these forums are silly. If uninstalling TOR wiped your harddrive, charged a year's worth of subscription to your bank account, and dispatched a EA representative to personally have his way with your mother, there would be people on these forums vehemently defending it.

I like how my but covers up literally half the screen in some conversations. Body type 4 is distracting, in a good way. Body type 3 would be pretty good too if they didn't hunch over like some kind of Gorilla.

I'm not here to discuss how theme parks have killed the genre or how WoW made the entire genre stagnant. Save that for something awful or 4chan or something. I'm simply here to say that the LFG is *** for no other reason than Bioware being *** themselves. People don't not use the LFG because they're afraid to socialize or because they're not aware of it. They don't use it because it is ***.

Oh, excuse me. I was not away that this was the year 2000 or that we even had heavily instanced MMOs like TOR in the year 2000. Because the genre has not evolved at all within these years and the expectations for MMOs has been stagnant the entire time. Clearly it has not, for this is the year 2000.

Looking for Group tool does not equal dungeon finder. Why can't anyone grasp this?

These forums really confuse me. It's like the definition of trolling has changed to: A) Saying something that the person in question doesn't like B) A way to respond without having to actually address what was said It's poor, barebones, and just plain lazy on Bioware's part. The LFG system feels like something they just cobbled together on some dreary sunday afternoon. It's not that people are used to the "lazy" WoW one. It's that people except a modern day LFG Tool to actually be fleshed out and adorned with all of the bells and whistles that one would expect in 2011.

They're taking copying blizzard to a whole other level?

I think I might make a video showcasing me playing other recent MMOs and comparing the performance to TOR. I find it absolutely silly that I can run TERA and the B&S private server at max (both completely dwarfing TOR in everyway and form graphically) with great performance. But TOR is like a wild rollercoaster of frames where I can hit 100+ in certain zones, but drop down to 20ish in others. This whole issue kind of reminds me of the FFXIV beta. Where you have one group screaming "this game is unoptimized as ****!", while you have the opposing group screaming "[insert dev here] didn't do anything wrong. Your collective computers just suck!"
