The problem is people are getting burnt out or highly frustrated because they can't progress their toon, even if it's by a flat 2% increase across the board... people don't like the feeling of being static in an MMO, you can only play in the same gear for so long before you start to detest it. When people are making great strides to progress their character and are denied the ability to do so due to the current systems in place (RNG), it makes one want to throw their hands up in the air in disdain for the product. I don't need to gear out my companions anymore then they already are, rocking full champ/centurion that excuse is just... well... silly.

It's not like your class doesn't have interrupts.

I'm glad you approve of the color scheme...

QFT, this thread delivers.

In hindsight I think they were looking out for the influx of new players coming into the game, which is understandable from a business standpoint. However... unintentionally alienating your game base with a clunky and hardly effective RNG system is not a good marketing strategy.

x15 Champ Tokens when you have full champ is bad game design across the board. When you grind out 2 weeklies and 2 dailies only to get Champ Tokens it's pretty demoralizing and unrewarding, not to mention irritating. Coming from someone who rarely gets upset about stuff, I am totally disheartened by your RNG system, I wonder how the less patient people are taking to it. An overhaul to the system can't come soon enough, I fear if you wait till the end of march to roll out 1.2, I'm going to be logging in even less, and it's going to be even harder to keep my community together. We've invested so much into your game, please understand where I am coming from. You have a great game here, Endgame RNG is a failed system and is not rewarding only irritating and upsetting, who plays games to get irritated and upset? People want rewards for their time and effort, not a RNG chance you might get a reward. I've seen people who are War Hero (70 Valor) that don't even have full BM yet, "That Ain't Right". All we are asking is for a more forgiving and consistent system asap, no one wants tokens for gear they've already maxed out. Now I know why BioWare implemented the RNG system in the first place, it was a design choice as a tool to keep the very first players from maxing out gear in the first 2 months. The reasoning was that with the RNG, you are allowed to shift to a more forgiving system as the game progresses, and with this reasoning you guys believe you can equalize the gear across the board giving new players more time to catch up to the hardcore grinders. I get that, I do, but it's just not an appropriate way to deal with your customers who invest a plethora of time and effort into your great game from the get-go. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Main Reasons this upsets me. Not rewarded properly for your time, I.E. RNG > Chance for a reward but only a 25% chance, which does not equate into a "Fun, fluid, and starwarzy experience". I am tired of the color of Champ gear and I like the aesthetics and color of the BM gear, (Can't obtain it in a reasonable time because of RNG) Opening a bag and getting more of what I already have, (Champ Tokens) Demoralizing to guild and guildies who don't enjoy the RNG system and are highly irritated by it. One Last Suggestion: (Implement this by the end of February) Allow us to convert 60 Champion Tokens into 1 BM Commendation. This would guarantee at least 1 BM token per 4 bags + the RNG.

Fixed the OP's post.

It's far more engaging and well written than anything I've witnessed on the republic side. Nice to be fighting something besides humanoids too.. I think I enjoyed those 5 minutes more than I did the whole way on my 50 Trooper, who's entire class quest is completed. That says something about the effort put into the sith.

figures.

That's not always the case.

We do! We're always outnumbered, but we do get to enjoy "some" PvP during tuesdays when the weekly is up. But the rest of the time it's usually dry, and even then we're shoved in our base.

I would like to know if anyone agrees with what I said.

I'm not knocking the warzones really, as I have quite enjoyed them, but you can only run so many warzones consecutively before they burn you out a bit. Illum is a real mess and total letdown in many different ways... not even sure whomever is in-charge knows what they are doing when it comes to the design philosophy.

I would have /cleansed /capped /win /Trollface.jpg vs your dots.

When i think of starwars dynamic action, or the movies, or the carton series, I do not think of SWTOR pvp, I do not think of Illum.... I do not think it lives up to the expectations of the players, it is not fun. If I had one word and only one word to describe Ilum it would be Irritating. I do not think of the epic scenes where Han is chased by stormtroopers, or Luke is battling on a skiff, I do not in anyway think that Illum PvP lives up to the standards George Lucas set in his original movies. I've had all my PvP dailies and weeklies done at the start of the day/week, and when I go on Illum to chill, and just PvP for fun (All my quests are done), the repubs are always holed up in their base... PvP is red rover red rover send x person right over... people grappling out of the base and getting stunned to death without gaining control of your character, rinse and repeat for the rest of the night. Struggling to aoe a group before you get grappled into the center and die instantly, that's not a good design philosophy. We can't even take the base back we're pushed so far in the door. I can't even get x1 objective points to get bonus valor in warzones (all those dailies/weeklys done to) I just warzone for fun, but I enjoy extra valor but the imps get it all. 20+ valor a kill is LOL... when imps are getting 140+ a kill easy... I'm not sure if this design option was intended or not but it's really bad. I'm 60 valor Battle Master, I'm bored, I don't enjoy the buggy PvE content that much, (Ran Kaon Under Siege Hardmode today.... Um.. 24 social points.. lol. I could get more in a lvl 10 run? Plus most of the HM social points don't even count or don't exist, the gear isn't that great either... DID all my Illum PvE dailies, really boring as a healer, but I did them. Back to Illum, repubs still forced into the door of the base, Imps getting 5x objective points all day, getting 175 guaranteed valor extra per warzone for the imps, that's really fair, If I'm lucky I'll que up with a x1 100 val but usually get nothing because of the huge imbalance. Haven't been able to get an operation going yet, but I will soon. Hmm... Yeah the PvP is really boring, add some dynamic warfare or something, hell I'd even enjoy being able to set up campfires like in SWG.

sorc stuns are herp derp,,,

I sent them a detailed bug report about this a month or so ago so it didn't happen to other players. The first time this happened I had to go all the way back to illum and get the starter quest, took me over 2 hours to figure it out. They said "thank you for your valuable feedback" and did nothing. I wanted to save other people the pain of the bug, but I guess bioware doesn't think it's important. Than you waste another 2 hours in the flashpoint only to have the Interrogator bug out and clone a million troopers. My advice: Don't run their bug ridden pve content till it's fixed.

They can't overhaul the gear system like this, it would be too much effort.

I have a button that I press once and it goes to max camera distance. I too find this more annoying since I've probably spent an hour total just pressing this button to rezoom my camera.

/cough emote is voiced. It's funny when everyone does it before a warzone starts.

Having the countdown timer overlay on the UI is the most amazing thing I could have ever wanted. Since we can't use mods this was a MUST for me.
