Waaahaaa I cant get the purples that I only really need to the make the content the purples drop from easier... And no I dont have time to do ops these days so most of my chars are full green and working on blues and unlocking mods on my main. If I had the top level of gear everything outside of ops would be even easier again and its already not particularly hard. What do people need purples at 80 for given that the content is easy enough without it ?

You guys realise that so long as you are the same faction multiple people from different groups can attack the same mob and get separate loot tables?

Love this idea and its always seemed logical to me, however at this point in the game more than 10 years in I doubt it will happen which is a real shame. A bus to taxi all your companions around the fleet would be cool too 😛 Although with the ridiculous number I have now I've unlocked as many as I can find on my main I think I'd need a snake around the outside circle...

Just remember a bit of patience with newbies goes a long way. I did black talon last night with a new guy. Two higher level players just said skip plz then rage quit when the guy didnt understand after the first couple of dialogs. A quick explanation before reinforcements arrived via requeue and all was good for the rest of the run. Its not newbies fault that they a) might way to see the content first time around(Although there is always story mode) b) might not understand the mechanics of how to skip cut scenes c) understand the etiquette for those of us that have done it hundreds or thousands of times.

Did you ever get a resolution to this? I'm having the exact same thing on one toon. He is well past this on the story?

Which is why I said you can have an option to disable dialog. If everyone in the group agrees to dialog fine, group them and go if not the rest of us that have done in numerous times can queue for a group without dialog.

I'd settle for an option for veteran or master mode flashpoints to have speeded up or dialog when you queue. If you want the story go solo it in story mode!

Same here yet again. I run diagnostics on my connection so I know my connection and wifi are fine as regular polling in the background show no issues with various types of other traffic. Yet still a few times a week we get these constant disconnections.

Don't forget putting aside Mind Snap, force wave and force stun will both also interrupt casting. I've done this fight numerous times and don't find it a problem now. I can't remember if both force wave and force stun work on this fight, I seem to recall wave does but stun doesn't.

I got the collectors edition too. I really don't care, I had access to those items exclusively with collectors edition people for 10 years. Its just a bunch of cosmetic stuff anyway that people will be oh cool! Before they find the next great thing on the CM.

I like the idea of a graduated sales tax, the higher the trade the more tax you pay. Although it would only work if you disabled direct player trades and COD.

If your biggest problem in life is your favourite game is down for a few hours extra, then you have a good life!

Or more likely given budget they'd take 8 times as long to release any content

There is no fix to this. Players who have been playing constantly for 10 years have accumulated huge amounts of cash, other players who have real life money to burn can just buy things on the cartel market and sell it on easily. Bioware/EA make money off the cartel market it keeps the game going they will do nothing that will choke off CM sales. I dont have billions of credits but I also want to see the game continue to be developed. A large part of that funding comes from CM sales.

If they are anything like me they are still patching over 24 hrs worth of patching now. I spent less time patching for the last expansion. I considering just having done with it and uninstall instead.

I've unsubbed as well although I've got 5 months remaining due to paying 6 monthly. It sounds like the companion nerf is too hard from the feedback from here and from my guildies. My reason for un-subbing isnt about the companion nerf. Its more the dreadful state of the end game. We had a great story to do with this expansion it was great the first time around. However its got limited re-playability I've done it I know the gist of the story, selecting a few different choices each time doesnt change the content enough to make it fun to replay, the story is still totally linear. Aside from that we've got the same list of flashpoints and operations. Nothing new at all apart from the star fortresses which arent particularly fun. The new tatical balancing mode in flashpoints is very broken and if you end up in a group with lots of lowbies its just endless frustration. There isnt even a new daily hub just heroics which I'm already at the point where I question why the hell I do this grind. If the state of the game had been good then yesterdays complete and abysmal failure of a patch and the fact that I'm still patching now after starting 9 hours ago I wouldn't have unsubbed. But this was just the tipping point for me to see just how dreadfully boring this game has become.

Agreed I'd go a step further however and remove the pvp from pve servers by removing all open world pvp. If you want to pvp go play a WZ or go roll on a pvp server.

Given the insane number of companions in 4.0 not getting M1-4X does not in anyway put you at a disadvantage. Troopers can get him back automatically as an original class companion as well. I dont see a problem with getting people to do 20 warzones. Its not like they're forcing you to goto Smugglers den and get repeatedly ganked for hours at a time just to pickup a part like they did with HK. I'm no PVPer either but I did my 20 warzones and got M1-4X, if you'd just shut up and do what you have too you'll get through it a lot quicker than trying to read this thread:P Finally having also done the trooper storyline it fits perfectly with M1-4Xs story line to have him want you to go and give it to the empire.

Well everything ends. There was a rumour online that swtor would have a few more major expansions and then be replaced by swtor 2. Some other rumours from that post have come to pass. Now that might make sense if Bioware were planning on replacing the game engine. As you're probably aware the engine has many issues that just can't be Fixed. For example large scale pvp. Now if they were planning on an engine change you aren't gonna reimplement The same content. easiest way is to fast forward 200 years all player chars are dead and you have to start from scratch!

I think its awful. I think about this in terms of returning players. Someone hasnt tried for a while and tries that steaming pile. They are just gonna log off again.

Agreed. The story line quests suck, keeping people waiting a week for a cutscene, and then to go back to that godawful place. I can see why they kept it locked for a week suprised they didnt try and string it out for 6 months. What complete and utter garbage. Now I see why we're geting 12x XP.

Guys lets be honest here bioware/EA dont understand the EU market and doesnt really care about it. They are and always have been all about the US. The most logical way of doing this would have been to unlock the content at either midnight or midday on the 4th of May, but you know as well as I do that then there would be massive whines from some(not all) Americans about how unfair it is that the EU got the content first even if they are all are still in bed. You can either put up with constantly being 2nd class in bioware's eyes or you can go play something else. Well you can always whine about it constantly too

They do get run sometimes on my server at least. Granted its not often. Like I said all you need to do is leave the lvl 50 stuff alone and have another option to select lvl 60 Story mode.

With phasing its actually not as bad as you think. Even with discussions about PVP/PVE servers all you do is put anyone flagged into an instance where everyone is flagged. Granted it could be a pain in the *** for heroic quests in zones as flagged people couldnt get into the same instance as non flagged etc.

They can leave the lvl 50 options as is but at least a story mode thats been levelled upto 60 for all ops <60 would be nice.
