Change is nice. But in this day and age, change with an option not change should be available. I hate the new music for many reasons already stated.

HAHA! I suppose I should have added all the little caveats. Yes, I definitely do that, but there are some boss fights where there are mines on the ground with an AoE bubble, and they stay there the entire fight as well as AoEs the boss is doing. I definitely do the micro-managing, but many fights it becomes all I'm doing, especially when I have to maneuver myself so that when I passive the comp, he doesn't run through the friggin mine.. Which means the boss isn't dying.

Please PLEASE make my companions smart enough not to stand in boss's AoE effects. Please? NPCs seem to run when I put down an AoE ground marker, yet my companions, who are supposed to be greater than NPCs, don't. This makes soloing veteran and master mode content unnecessarily difficult. Thanks.

I'll pop in my 2 credits worth as well. Been playing off and on since beta, loved every minute of it. Yes, I still wish the space game was more akin to Jump To Lightspeed (ok, just like it - not just akin) but no one tops BioWare's storytelling. Every class story is unique and fun and entertaining, and although I do wish there were more expansions dedicated to the non-force users, I'm sure they're still on the way! Right?

Actually it has and you fail at reading comprehension.

Actually, it's been working for about 90% of those posting here and in BioWare's post where this was suggested. I mean, if you'd rather try the long download/repair first, be my guest.

Reeeeaally don't have to do all that...

You don't have to. Just set the compatibility mode to XP SP3. Done.

This has been suggested in this thread several times and also by the mod. FYI

Shouldn't you perhaps list the compatibility mode workaround first as it's the least impactful workaround?

I get a little bit of choppiness, too, but only while launching the game, so I don't consider that broken. Having to sit here for 2 hours is broken. Also, others are having to do the 2 hour download/repair every single time they want to play. In my book, compatibility mode is still much better even with choppiness. Just my 2 credits on that

Why are so many people putting up with the time of redownload or repair? Many have set the compatibility to WinXP SP3 and had no further issues. Is this not working for some?

Happened to me today. I just changed compatibility mode to Win XP SP3 and it worked fine. No need to go through the long download again.

Pazaak? Sabacc? C'mon, you guys have been telling us since beta that it was coming. Can we have it now? Pretty please? Take it off that Wall of Crazy and make it happen! That being said, keep up the great work!

Throwing my name in the hat here to ask, please, can we just have our own ship that WE ALREADY OWN to put on the landing pad on Tatooine??? (And other strongholds) Doing the math, I'll have to spend better than 500k credits just to be able to put the ship I ALREADY OWN on my landing pad. This is ridiculous. If I wanted some other ship, then I'll be happy to craft all that and spend all that to do so. But I should be able to have my own ship there. Silly in the extreme, BioWare...

It has been stated by the devs that ship interior customization is coming. Just a matter of when. I don't mind my XS Freighter being my home. Customize it then invite friends over. That'd be great!

Sorry, I was speaking of numerous polls and player and dev comments that were made since 2011 that you probably aren't privy to. Refer to my comment and quotes above.

I'm pretty sure "deserve" has nothing to do with this. It's just a mechanic that's missing, that's all. It's just a game, man.

This is the difference I'm talking about. You gave the perfect example of what I'm NOT talking about. In other games, if you want the Jawa Party Balloon (for the sake of example), all you have to do is subscribe for a certain period. In other words, it never goes away. My sub lapsed for two months, and I also missed the Jawa Party Balloon. I'll never be able to get it. Again, this is NOT what I'm talking about. If it worked like in other games, once I re-established my sub and got those two months, voila, Jawa Party Balloon.

Back in June of 2011, this same debate had been going for a while. At that time, a dev stated that AC-switching would "probably" come into game. That was said in 2011, by Georg Zoeller after having discussed it with Damion, and in an interview with TOR-TALK: In that discussion thread where this quote appeared, many different viewpoints were shared. I made an observation, addressing many of the points raised, but focusing on the crux: If the plan clear back in 2011 was that they would "probably allow it", how much longer do you think it will take based on Damion's quote? I wouldn't hold your breath.

This is defined by the developer. Why is this hard? For example, in EQ2, a veteran subscriber is someone who has collectively subscribed over a certain period of time. EQ2 also has F2P. Do F2P accounts qualify? No. Do they complain about it? No. Again, several MMOs do the same thing. Why is it a problem here? I have yet to see a well thought-out reason stipulating why nearly every MMO with this same business model is wrong in doing this, and why no one but here is complaining about it.

Well, aside from playing semantics, it's a mechanic that is widely received and accepted in nearly every other MMO. And to answer the question about awards received, yes very nice. Something that readily recognizable as a specific timeframe of veteran play is what would be nice. There are other things like this already ingame.

It's viable. Everyone loves their EQ2 Veteran Rewards, and no one balks about it. Other games have veteran subscriber rewards with no one caring. Why are we fighting it here?

Wow, this old debate still? Did we forget all the devs stating how ACs are complete, full-on classes by design? Did we forget how Damion has said this about ACs before and the player base and most other devs still don't want it? We must have also forgotten how doing this will crap all over purist-type class player, while the hybrid type has what he wants already. Anyhoo, I doubt it happens. But we'll see.

TBH, I'm glad TCW is gone. It's too bad we can't go back and undo the bad retcons, ridiculous additions, and basically just say that TCW isn't actually canon...
