  1. First off: I agree with OP. 5.0 and the announced changes to 5.1 have been, at best, a disaster. Second: I get the feeling that BW/EA is steering towards a game with no ops. The reason i feel this way? What do i REALLY get for being a subscriber? In a nutshell access to ops. What have i NOT seen in more than 2 years? New operations. In essences: There is no point in subscribing. With the latest stream the "dream team" harped on and on about new uprisings and gearing changes. I'll grant that the gearing changes are a step in the right direction, but uprisings? SERIOUSLY? They are not even full blown flashpoints. They are a way for BW/EA to say "see? we DO give you new content". Which just brings me back to my previous point: Why should i subscribe to play that, when i can get those for free? They even made an effort to NOT address the MANY chat members who were at the end SCREAMING for news about new operations. My gut feeling. There will be none. And then they wonder why so many of us unsubscribe........Go figure. BTW my sub runs out as of 23 feb, and the stream last night gave me nothing to make me consider re subscribing. (no you cannot have my stuff!)
  2. I am one of these joyless people that actually find the snowball event annoying as ¤&/#. Just for fun and in the spirit of the grinch, why not add a "grinch shield" that protects you from being snowballed, and possibly even one shots the thrower? + a hidden achievement for it. Point? Let people learn to review their target before they "attack"
  3. You will NEVER be able to get rid of credit spammer in chat, but that mail box....EASY. Just set an option to ONLY receive mail from accepted players (friends, guildies, you choose), and game related. All other are auto rejected.
  4. Hi BW. I just finished watching the live stream, and to my horror it felt like more of a PR stunt than an interaction with viewers. I distinctly remember seeing people almost SCREAM questions about operations, and you never reacted at ALL. BW. The core issues as we in our guild see it is: 1. Will there EVER be new operations? 2. Why the random gearing system to make people grind for gear so they can rehash all ready complected ops? 3. Some of the rewards you are giving us a downright worthless. I refer to the jawa stuff, for which there are no relevant vendors. (and no!!! grade 9 stuff does NOT count!!!!) 4. The feedback from community, about the command point system, has been even from announcement, "that is a bad idea!" Why forge ahead, or is it because as the title says: "You are NOT listening" The next part is my opinion alone. Some may agree, but its not a guild thing. You had a system 1 year after launch that actually worked. Release a new ops from time to time, to coincide with new story. Specific drops that everybody could plan for and that way get geared, and move on. Even though people "whined" when ever there was a new level cap, it was just the normal "here we go again" comments. People did it any way. 4 years down the road and you have a system that has seen no new ops for more than a year, even though we have had new story content. I am sorry to say this, but New flashpoint, and uprisings just don't cut it for raiders. 8 man operations were SWTORs hallmark, and it feels like you are killing it off. I know that the chances you you actually replying to this is slim, to non existing, but if we (yes i am referring to a multi member guild!), are to stay and grind on, we would appreciate a response. Yours truly A 5 year SWTOR veteran.
  5. I agree here. Otherwise its a pointless reward to give a lvl 70 character that has no need for anything BUT level 10 crafting stuff.
  6. Hi Bioware. You can probably see by my account, that I have been here ever since pre launch. All through the many changes that have happened, from the good old days with tionese, columi, and rakata gear, and further on, i have been grinding along to improve my gear for raiding. That is, for me, the reason for playing this game. I know that MANY of my guild mates do the same. I personally don't mind grinding as long as i know what the result will be at the end. I will labor through hours of events, wiping on bosses, and so on, as long as i know: "this one drops the boots, that is what i need". Your latest change/update (call what you want) has totally ruined the game for me and many of those i play with. Simple reason. The random drop system is fundamentally flawed. I'll give you an example: on my main i have by now reached command rank 12. apart from a few (2) usable items that i could take enhancements from i got NOTHING. On an alt that dinged level 70, and a few seconds later had the first command rank drop, i got the 230 bracers. I would liken the chance of me reaching 242 gear full set piece bonus and all inside 2017, as pretty much non existing. I have almost a better chance of winning the state lottery! You have GOT to get rid of the random stuff drop, and come up with something better, even if it is reverting back to boss loot. This random stuff......BAD idea!!!!
  7. I have to laugh now. On RE server there are people posting link to a petition to BW about making the DvsL event retro active. In other words, so people don't have to do them on anew toon. and would automatically get the achievements/rewards. I am asking. What would then be the point? I would instantly be Legendary when i logged on after the patch. Wheres the fun in that? As far as i'm concerned: If you don't want to do it, then don't, no rewards for you then.
  8. Hi Bioware. I have to say i am somewhat concerned as a subscriber. Not a single patch you have put out since the launch of the game has been without bugs of various degrees of severity. The latest patch builds on errors from 4.1. Back when the story to pick up Eckard lokin got broken, you had to reset the missions, and we were forced to once again harvest the materials needed to complete the mission. Annoying, time consuming, and expensive. All because you couldn't fix a bug. Fine Patch 4.2b broke the Agent story on chapter x. We couldn't complete the mission. Now with 4.2 you have solved it...How? By resetting the whole quest so i have to start over that entire story. REALLY annoying. 4.2 has also introduced a number of bugs that, while not game breaking, forces you to reset the story and start over in order to complete it, and then find out that Niko Okar is not usable as a companion any more. Seriously guys... Do you even test the patches before you release them? I have been a steadfast subscriber ever since launch (pre-release even!), and it seems to me that the bugs are getting worse and worse, and i have to wonder......Why pay to be a beta tester for you guys? Now that i have vented some, i would like an answer to the following. 1. Will you do better testing of patches before release? 2. Will those of us who have lost items ingame (The Eckard quest) be refunded in game with the mats? 3. Will you please advance Agents back to the end of the story where we were stuck so we at least can complete the story with out having to repeat the whole thing one more time?
  9. Armourmech. No schematics at all. They are ALL gone.
  10. Please!!! "Players can no longer toggle off the “Dusted with Snowflakes” buff that is received when hit with a Snowball. " This is going to annoy the #¤"! out of people. 1 or 2 people out of season runs around tossing these snow balls. Lets us at least have the option to remove it out of lifeday season. During i get it......But not NOW!!
  11. Hi. Anybody else experience massive lag tonight on RE server. average ping was around 300 MS for me.
  12. Yup. The launcher doesn't even patch anything. Might want to look into the BW. I have restarted the launcher AND then computer BTW, so that's not it.
  13. To republic command, SIS. Here is the follow up report as requested. I forward it unaltered, as I feel you should be aware that it is not only General Garza that is expressing her frustration over the use of Havoc squad as a search team. I to feel that Havoc squad is to valuable an asset to NOT be on the front lines, but I will agree that the wording of the report could be somewhat toned down. May the Force be With you. Master Widriksen Forwarded from havoc squad: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requested scouting report of territory of Alderaan. Rev2. Before rendering our findings I would it to go on record that we (The entire Havoc Squad) find it an ENORMOUS waste of us as a resource to go looking for “missing patients”. Such a task, in our opinion, sort under local law enforcement, however skilled and organized they may be. That patients can up and disappear from a hospital speaks volumes to the lack of security for one, and care and attention by the staff and personnel of said hospital. Our preliminary findings as follows: 1. No trace of the patients in or around the hospital. We STRONGLY recommend installation of security cameras that actually work!!! 2. A search of the immediate surroundings resulted only in recovery of one patient from the mental ward that somehow managed to slip out of the ward during the confusion of the missing patients. (Do these people even understand the concept of “security”???) 3. A wider search is currently under way, but I seriously doubt that the patients can have made it far if I am to believe the report of their injuries. 4. I am leaving HK-51 and M1-4X to guard the area around the hospital just in case something like this should happen again, but I AM pulling them back the second we are done with the search, and I WILL NOT be held accountable for an damage, or fatalities they may cause if the local security keeps up their interference. M1-4X isn’t known for his patience towards meddlers, and should he engage HK-51 is likely to come to his support….with dire consequences. We expect to conclude our business here on Alderaan within the next 24 standard hours. PLEASE assign us back to actual combat mission as this assignment bears all the marks of a police mission, and we are SOLDIERS. Respectfully yours Anïmal Commanding officer, Havoc Squad.
  14. I forward this report to you with a copy going to the SIS. I hope you will find this informative. May the force be with you Master Widriksen ------------------------------------------- Requested scouting report of territory of Alderaan. Rev1. As Per your request, Havoc squad has performed a detailed scouting mission of the planet Alderaan to ascertain the validity of the reports a “strange Animal Attacks”. These are our findings. 1. We have done an extensive survey of the landscape to see if any major changes have occurred, signifying new burrows, caves, or nesting sites. None was found. 2. We have searched for newly slain wildlife, and found some, but none that bears marks of anything but the already established predatory wildlife. 3. Extensive search using all of our available sensors on M1-4X, HK-51, and the keen senses of Treek. Nothing conclusive was found to indicate any changes, but Treek did note that some of the wildlife, predatory as prey, seemed more alert than usual, and she did mention that “something was not as usual.”. Given Treeks short time with us, and the fact that she’s from a different planet, and a different culture, I cannot say for certain that this is something important, or if it is just the observation of a newly introduced species to a different environment. 4. The influx of GSI personnel and materiel is noticeable, but we have yet to ascertain the true nature of this increase of their presence. May be worth an extra recon at the earliest possible moment. My recommendations at this time will be to maintain observations on the planet, and if possible increase the number of republic aligned troops to perform these observations, as we did note a tendency for the local personnel to be somewhat biased as to the nature of these “attacks”. Everything from “Mutant Killics”, “Bio enhanced Nerfs”, to the downright ridicules: “deformed humanoid predators”. None of which we saw ANY evidence of. I would also recommend that in dealing with future reports, that the persons in question be tested for any kind of drugs or use of mind altering substances. FOR THE REPUBLIC Anïmal Commanding officer, Havoc Squad.
  15. We have just completed both of the ops's and the mission just reset back to its original. I pained attention to the progression of the mission requirements and they progressed correctly up until we killed the last boss in the palace ops. Then it just went back to start. (Complete Operation: The Dread Fortress) Please fix. Edit: And this is after the patch: 2.4a
  16. This is actually kind of funny. Ever since the game came out, its become a guessing game when a patch was coming, as to What will they break this time, to the point where we no longer refer to patches as Patches, but as Bug updates. Now you have out done yourselves at broken the game even before the patch comes out. What WILL you think of next?
  17. I have just completed the mission twice, doing a clean sweep of it, and it still won't grant me the achievement.
  18. Will you PLEASE remove, move, or in another way alter the trigger for the area quest on Voss, Gormak lands. It annoys me to no end to have to go and remove that quest every time you go do nightmare pilgrim, dread seed quest, or for any other reason have to pass through that area.
  19. Repulic Taris: Tularan Marsh. above the bomb disarmorment area. Map coordinates:1234, 187 Just above the first big hole in the deck.
  20. 3 Ord mantel. Enter the volcano. When you get to get big center area, look up on the opposite side.
  21. BW....PLEASE!!. What is WRONG in there? Its getting very annoying that we cant trust you t give us the right information. First you postpone your maintenance and now you move it up without updating the website? It's kinda hard to plan ops when you do stuff like that. My suggestion to you guys: Stop running around like headless chickens, Plan ahead, make your patches and please please PLEASE test them before releasing them onto us. I for one am getting the distinct feeling that everything you do is based on panic reactions. I would MUCH rather have longer between new material, and have it work flawlessly, than have 1 patch and two panic fixes with in a few days of each other.
  22. Yeah...We were 2 min from sdtarting the Nighmare Pilgrim when the entire raid group DC'd. PLEASE bioware. DO THE MAITENACE!!! its NEEDED!!
  23. Yeah...Massive, and regular lag spikes. Please look into it Bioware.
  24. Ok. So you dropped the ball here. Not by releasing content that would have been faulty and bugged, but by choosing NOT to inform us about the progress of the patch, and then springing the news at the last possible moment. That's not up to debate, but a FACT. You can see that clearly in the way people are reacting. So what can be done to prevent that in the future? A couple of my guildies and me we discussing this, and we came up with this: How about you make a public check list for you next patches? When you release a statement to us that "This is what we plan for patch 1.x", you the keep us up to date with the progress. Good AND bad (or lets call it "not as expected") It could be something like this: (all made up contents!!!) Patch 1.dreamstuff PvP Ranked WZ cross server: Ready for implementation Ninja Ewok companion: Still in development. PvE Dantooine planet: Quest lines: Ready for implementation. Worldboss: Issues with loot drop. Likely to be moved to later release. Daily missions: Still in development, but on track. Space missions PvP free flight warzone: Ready for implementation. Something along the line with that, so that we as a community will be able to see what is coming and ready, and what MIGHT be causing issues. It will make it easier for us to understand and accept when you have to cancel a promised, and MUCH anticipated content, rather than having you drop a bomb on us literally at the last moment.
