  1. I really like this idea! I love the idea of scripting a quest where your male character must romance 10 male NPCs in a gay bar on Mek Sha so yes, or go gay-bar hopping across ten planets, so yes! Let's make this a thing!

     

    Oh, but wait. I just thought: such a quest might get reported because some people might not agree with its content, and then Bioware would be forced to hire quest scenario police to make sure the ESRB rating doesn't go total AO for such player-made quests, and um, yeah when there's so many other places new employees would be better utilized, like content and bug fixes.

     

    I take it all back. Bad idea.

     

    is anyone being FORCED to go gay bar hopping or romance male characters? no?

     

    then your entire argument is an invalid homophobic rant.

  2. CoX had the Architect, which allowed players to create their own mission instances. EQ2 has a quest builder as well.

     

    To be honest, I don't think BW could pull something like this off if they wanted to.

     

    me neither... it would require actual talented coders, which BW doesn't hire. it would take time, which BW doesn't want to pay for.

     

    the player base of swtor needs to get it through their thick skulls... this game is on life support. there will be no new development after this xpac. when the ubisoft star wars mmo launches, this game will die the slow death galaxies did.

     

    your suggestions will go unanswered. the only thing that they would bother paying any attention to is a new revenue stream.

  3. are way over tuned. i'm in 328 gear, getting wrecked every fight, every chapter. this is ridiculous. do not tell me to learn to play. been here since closed beta. way better than you in the first place.

     

    and i'm also sick and tired of your moderators dishing out infractions for being critical of the game and its devolopers.

  4. Hiya players!

     

    With the end of Galactic Season 2 we’ve seen confusion around the Shadow Syndicate reputation track. This Shadow Syndicate was a time limited reputation track released to expand the offerings of Galactic Season 2. When Galactic Season 2 ended the Syndicate Plans used to progress the reputation track were no longer available, though Qi’us Dnar remains available on Nar Shaddaa. We understand that players expected to be able to continue progressing this track even after the season ended and used the new reputation track to help progress Conquest. We’ll be making some adjustments with patch 7.1 to allow progress towards this reputation track to continue.

     

    Syndicate Plan drops

    With patch 7.1, Syndicate Plans will continue to drop from mobs across the Galaxy for players who have not completed the reputation track. Jawa Intel will also remain available from Brrazz on the Fleet to increase the chance to obtain Syndicate Plans. With this change players can continue to progress the Shadow Syndicate reputation and earn the Legacy titles “Shadow Initiate”, “Master of Shadows”, and “The Shadow’s Veil”.

     

    This availability will last until the start of Galactic Season 3. While we do not have the exact date of season 3 to share at this time, we will make sure to give players plenty of notice to ensure they can complete their progress and earn the titles. To be clear, Galactic Seasons 3 is NOT coming in 7.1.

     

    Please note this change will not apply to the Galactic Season 2 Achievement “One With the Shadows”. We do see the feedback regarding how to improve Galactic Seasons achievements and are working towards solutions for this.

     

    As always, we appreciate your efforts and feedback.

    Catch you across the Galaxy!

     

    so, essentially, BW's unwillingness to inform players of things has cost players time and money.

     

    good job. pretty par for the course, watching you guys eff up all over your own game, some more.

     

    at some point you'll have to admit your own incompetence and beg for someone to hire actual game developers, not interns from the acme coding college.

  5. Equip one Character and upgrade that one character to the Highest iLVL you can with the Content you do.

     

    then send that gear around via the Legacy, don't upgrade alts with Currency.

     

    once you have good Gear, Drops will match the iLVL of your Gear in the Content that can match iLVL or be at the limit so it can't be upgraded in the first place -> you don't have to upgrade it again.

     

    you get 200 commendations / Week / character but only 5 times then you cap.

    gear should cost you negligible amounts of Conquest commendations unless you upgrade each character from nothing instead of using Legacy Gear / iLVL matching Drops with the Loot Specialization setting in your portrait.

     

     

    if the reason you want more conquest commendations is not for gear but because you want Tech Fragments, ask for how to get Tech Fragments instead not for conquest comms.

     

    i do not upgrade anything that isn't Rakata. no fp gear. no wz gear. i keep low level stuff to bait drops. its too damn hard to get all the stuff to upgrade, i'm not going to waste my time upgrading crap that will never be higher than 326.

     

    and if BW's idea of compelling gameplay to gear a character is to have a bunch of other characters to feed into one, then i say BW's dev team is uninspired and lazy.

  6. the way you have it set up now, each outfit can only have 1 weapon type slotted into it. so what do we do if we have a sin/sorc that uses 2 different weapons in main hand? suffer the indignity of a default weapon skin, in the current iteration of swtor's art direction, which seems to be steampunk star wars. or have an entire second outfit, identical to the original, only changing weapons... which, considering how much additional outfit slot start to cost, is just kinda mean.

     

    please change it so that we can slot 2 weapon types into a single outfit, to accommodate your additional combat style system.

  7. I can't tell if this is serious or bait.

     

    I'll be sure to let my guildmates know to clean out their pcs when I see 3 of them disconnect simultaneously when we enter a 16 person operation. It's crazy how many people just randomly decided to stop cleaing out the dust all at the same time!

     

    the problem first appeared after 7.0.1 went live and disappeared when 7.0.2b went live..... but its a problem on OUR end lolololol

  8. No crashes here at all. (Then again, I keep my drivers up to date, often run a stress test for video so im getting 120fps at all max settings.)

    No random disconnects. (Then again I know how to use my routers interface, forward and open ports needed for specific things)

     

    My rig:

    Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming-CF AM3 MB

    Ryzen 5 2600x

    32 GB DDR4 1066ghz Ram

    Radeon RX 570 8gb

    1tb SSD (Main)

    500gb SSD (Slave)

    8TB Internal

    8TB External

     

    Again, no crashes, no disconnects, no issues at all. This is not an EA problem, its a you problem. (to everyone complaining its EA). You need to run some tests and diagnostics on your end.

     

    If your not on an SSD run a Defrag and Health check on your drive.

    Get the ports SWTOR uses and open them on your firewall and router (and make sure they point to your PCs internal network IP address.

    Update your drivers.

    Check your bios is configured properly for your components.

    Update your bios if needed.

    Run MemCheck (google it) could be a stick of ram is bad (for game crashes)

     

    I cant say for sure where the issue is at, since I do not have access to your PC, but it could be anything, even a failing component. Like I said, I run at max all settings (except grass and trees, yuk) and have had not issues. This alone proves its not EA's fault. Im sorry to say, this is a you problem.

     

    Also I am disabled and am able to play for hours and hours.

     

    i like how you think i'm an idiot who doesn't properly maintain his system...

  9. well played, BW...

     

    after the patch yesterday i was able to play all day long without a single crash. not to desktop and not to an unpopulated server screen.

     

    i guess i have to hand it to you... from a business perspective, you've managed to fix a problem you never acknowledged was a problem in the first place, avoiding any and all potential liability from your coding ineptitude.

     

    so kudos, BW... kudos.

     

    i still think subscribers should get some tech frags and OP-1 Catalysts for their trouble.

  10. All #SWTOR servers are now unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Estimated downtime: 3 hours.

     

    bang up job on the three things you (maybe) fixed in this patch... are we all going to keep crashing randomly?

     

    /sarcasm

  11. My man, this problem is absolutely on your end.

     

    Regardless, EA/BioWare have no obligation to compensate you for time that you're unable to access the service.

     

    See TOS:

     

     

     

     

     

    See EULA:

     

    you should really read the **** you copy/paste...

     

    " that are due to legal restrictions or other circumstances beyond its control"

     

    and there's no agreement i and a company can make that subverts federal law. if you sell a thing, that thing must do what you say its going to do. this issue is entirely within the bounds of the company's control.

     

    i pay for and play 3 other games requiring a subscription and more that don't. this system can run star citizen on max settings with no skips. my ISP is a beast. the problem IS NOT on my end.

     

    this is 100% BW's issue, and since they have failed to address it, they have failed in their obligation to provide their paying customers with the service said customers are paying for.

  12. Why would BW plan on compensating you personally for having a flawed PC or connection to their servers? Do you do the same with everything you're subscribed to? Found a typo in a magazine you're subscribing to so it's off to customer service and ask for compensation!

     

    Stop being so entitled and grow up, kid. Life's short and you're worrying about nonsense.

     

    because every time the game crashes on a member of an ops group, that represents additional time the entire ops group has to wait for that person to re-log. or a loss of content completion due to time constraints.

     

    i don't think its unreasonable to ask BW to compensate subscribers, who mostly subscribe in order to have access to raid content, to be rewarded with some OP-1 Catalysts and/or tech frags for losing out on raid time due to an issue 100% outside of their control, but known and not fixed by the company who has been more than happy to continue to take our money.

  13. I pay a flat monthly rate, but I don't get extra minutes for the times when my cell phone has no signal.

    I pay monthly for extra storage space on Google, but I don't get compensated for Gmail outages.

    I don't get compensated when the cable service goes out or any comp from the pay-channels that go out with it.

    The YMCA doesn't give refunds when they cancel classes due to bad weather.

     

    Yet you want compensation for the 60 seconds spent reconnecting when you're D/C'd from the game?

     

    you do have legal recourse if you are being sold a service they aren't delivering. if your phone loses signal, that's one thing. if your network is constantly disconnecting your calls, you can switch to a different carrier.

     

    i pay a fee to unlock content that i am unable to fully enjoy due to a technical issue months old. if it isn't me, its someone else trying to participate in paywall locked content, disconnecting. taking money for a service you aren't able to provide is fraud, technically.

  14. make them for legendary players (those who've unlocked legendary status by playing through all the current class stories).

    one companion per story.

     

    Imperial smuggler - Jakarro

    Imperial trooper - Major Anri

    Republic agent - Theron Shan

    Republic bounty hunter - Lana Beniko

     

    give the players some new content and some backstory for some existing characters.

  15. for the last two months i've been paying my subscription, and for the last two months, i have been getting randomly disconnected at a rate of about once every hour and a half to two hours.

     

    i pay you to provide me entertainment. you have a legal responsibility to deliver to me a working product. the law says so.

     

    you are failing your legal responsibility to provide me with what i pay for. and it wouldn't be so bad, except that you've put in place mechanisms to punish players who leave activities early. so until you hire someone that knows what he's doing and keeps the game from crashing every 45 minutes, you can suspend lockouts from leaving activities.

     

    and when you've finally fixed the problem, you still need to compensate the subscribers for the time lost by your inability to adequately manage your servers.

  16. why do i have to farm heroics for op and fp gear?

     

    why do i need about 3 times as many fp coins to upgrade fp gear as op or conquest gear need op or daily coins?

     

    here's how to fix it... give every gear option a path to 330 purples. "o, well people running flashpoints don't need purple 330" is the dumbest design paradigm any game designer has ever come up with in the history of ever. here's a news flash, whichever moron came up with this system... GAMERS LIKE THE BEST GEAR AVAILABLE IN THE GAME! we do not appreciate having our gear selection decided for us because you guys are either too lazy or too stupid to come up with a system as good as 6.0's was.

     

    literally every single person who plays the game liked 6.0's system better than any other system you've implemented, and you went and effed it up for no reason other than you hired some new guys who wanted to make their mark, regardless of how dumb it was.

     

    well, good job. you put your new system in. what did it net you?
