  1. You CAN do one thing that works depending on what you want to find. There is a sort function so if you want to find your own post, sort it after Thread Starter and then start scrolling. Beeing in the later half of the alphabet, my posts are around page 1100+.

     

    This only works if you created the thread. It's easier just to bookmark any thread you create. I dunno about you but I don't make 50 new threads a day. Maybe one a week at most.

  2. You know this how, exactly? On my server, I could count the number of 50's I've seen running around on 2 hands with fingers left over, and my own character is lvl 46. Seriously, stop and think before you post.

     

    On my server I've seen at least 30-40 of them just running around. I'm level 48.

  3. completely failed eh?

     

    ui works fine for me, and apart from wanting a third center bar, there is almost nothing i'd have changed.

     

    seriously what is this problem everyone (really only some) seem to have with the UI?

     

    I could list 40 things I'd like to change about the UI. That's the point of UI customization. Not everyone wants their UI the same way.

     

    And, seriously, you have no issue with companions coming back from missions and closing your windows down? That's a fault of the crappy UI.

  4. Well, on the one hand, not having addons is a good thing because you can watch the game, instead of a bunch of numbers and timers. A lot of addons really ruin the immersion.

     

     

    On the other hand, they've completely failed to provide a decent UI, thus proving that they probably should let some legit programmers (addon community) create some addons for us to use.

     

    Yeah cause the giant windows everywhere that they have now really help immersion. My UI will get smaller with mods.

  5. Dont forget that theyve been increasing server caps steadily to remove any queues. But i guess the conspiracy theorists have already tried with that one.

     

    Yeah the queues were going to disappear, regardless. They intentionally set server caps low to drive the playerbase to lower populated servers, not because the servers can't handle more people. Then they slowly lift the caps and the end result is a more balanced load across all servers than if they hadn't put the caps on.

     

    That said, this game will lose many players when the free month is over. It happens with every MMO. A good chunk of people will play the free month and not subscribe.

  6. I also have millions of credits saved up from slicing pre-nerf, before you begin your silly theory of people getting upset that someone has more e-money than them.

     

    Sorry dude, slicing pre-nerf was not that bad. People exaggerate. I was slicing on multiple characters with high companion affection and playing 16 hours a day and I didn't make "millions of credits".

  7. I have a better idea, if these so called exploiters who have this awesome ability to find these bugs, that are apparently overlooked by the programers/devs, maybe if Bioware and company politely asked these talented people to join their team then maybe they could help fix some of these bugs that are not being fixed!!!!

     

    Bottom line is I can only remember 2 MMO's that had credit duping bugs at release. This one and SWG. These type of bugs cannot be allowed to make it onto live servers. There is obviously a flaw with their testing if this bug was allowed to get through. I mean reading how the exploit was performed it was really simple to do. There's no way it should have gone undetected.

  8. are you sure about that?

    "It's important to remember that our Terms of Service team is extremely careful and thorough in their investigation of any potential exploit or unusual activity in-game. Working closely with the development team and using extensive metrics based on player activity, they are able to determine what is normal player activity, what is unusual and what is exploiting. Our goal is always to ensure a fair game experience for all players while also protecting the rights of individuals, and if people are disrupting the play experience for others action will be taken."

     

    Bingo! Now I'm 100% sure that is our situation!

     

    So a random account that no one plays on gets banned while all the people with millions of credits are scot free. Yeah, BioWare would accomplish a lot. They can only ban the account that exploited.

  9. The problem is the exploiters that weren't idiots were using a dummy account to generate millions of credits and spreading those credits to other accounts (guildmates, friends) in many small transfers. You can't ban people for receiving credits in the mail. They didn't exploit anything.

     

    The damage is done, there is literally nothing BioWare can do to fix it.

  10. Pre-order bonus is dumb anyway. I bought the pre-order, but I would have been perfectly fine if they didn't give us anything. I mean why are you better for ordering the game the day before release vs the day of release? You both payed the same amount.

     

    If there is a pre-order bonus it should be exactly what we got, something crappy that is only useful for a few levels at most.

     

    If you wanted a nice perk then you should have forked over additional money for the deluxe edition.

  11. I say roll on whatever you want. You might need money for example the item can bring you. People just feel entitled these days. Used to be Id roll greed but since everyone hits need on everything thats what I do also. I have yet to find anyone who is upset over that they all roll need too.

     

    You don't realize that these people are putting you on their ignore list and talking about what a horrible person you are to their guilds. Needing on everything is not remotely acceptable to just about anyone. They all hit need also because that's the only way to somewhat combat what you're doing, not because that's what they think should be done.

  12. OP came off as whiney but had a good list of things that need fixing.

     

    I'll add some more:

     

    1. You get booted to char select opening mail also, not just joining warzones.

    2. Mobs inside the terrain shooting at you when you can't shoot back.

    3. A lot of abillities don't fire correctly, abillities both with and without cast times. Some abillities with no cast time get interrupted. Some abilities with cast times give you the cast time but they don't fire.

    4. People disappear from guild window. Guy is online and he doesn't appear in guild window even with offline box selected.

    5. Class quests breaking, usually because you can't get the dialogue to start. Then you reset the quest and instead of resetting that part of the quest it takes you to a previous part you've already completed in a completely different area.

    6. Items on commendation vendors are all out of whack, particularly the modification vendor. A vendor will have like commando barrel 21 but only reflex barrel 18, both at the same price. Then there are enhancements that have the same exact stats but different names on the same vendor. I'm amazed this type of thing made it out of beta as it's extremely shoddy.

    7. If I send 4 companions on missions I can't summon a 5th companion to fight with me without reloading my UI.

    8. Myself and another trooper friend of mine can't get our relics to stay on our hotbars. As soon as we zone they disappear, but my jedi friend does not have the same issue.

    9. There are many issues with getting stuck, even out in the open with no objects to make you stuck.

  13. At that rate it would take around 1500 days for you to earn the same amount that some of the cheating players have. Now do you see the problem? They literally have hundreds of millions credits.

     

    I think it would be perfectly fair to ban anyone with over 30 million credits. There's no way anyone has earned that much legitimately at this point.

     

    The hard part is to catch the smart cheaters, the ones that only cheat to a point where you can't tell if they cheated or did it legitimately. People that are sitting on like 15 million credits right now. It's certainly possible they earned that much legitimately, although not likely.

  14. that could have been from slicing it was nerffed a while ago

     

    and OP . your logic is punishing the 99% of the people who didnt cheat becuase a few did.. do you think they can not go through and find out who duped items if that was the problem? dont be silly, they should just ban those people not punish everyone.

     

    No, even if you played 24 hours a day there's no way slicing earned you 1.5 million credits in 3 days, even pre-nerf. I played all day for a week and had like 200k.
