Based on zero facts, becasue the creator has no access to figures...
Yup moving along.....

I don't want your filthy cookie! Begone!
Seriously, MMOs are for me, I've been playing them for many years. Guilds, however, are not for me. The only type of guild I'd consider joining is a pvp guild, and that's only if it existed to fight premades instead of rolling pugs all day. Guild == MMO.
Well lest you can take a joke so You get credit where its due.
Since the game is played in a community environment I think your gimping you self and you can't expect the entire game which is based around the concept of 'a brave group of adventures strike out to (insert cliche here)" to pander to you.
The story can be done single player and thankful most of the main quest so you can level but running solo in a multiplayer is like complaining you have no one to help you in Skyrim.

Crazy idea but in a location where everyone has to come by at some point doesn't it make sense that's its in an enclosed but cool environment, nothing to flashy to prevent people lagging out and unable to move?
You know a nice central location that won't demand to much if the population gets too high?
Just a though or a guess whats what someone was thinking.
Frankly I don't care much.

Something good that come from WoW to here? I'm impressed... and shocked I feel that way...
Someone shoot me, I seen it all, my time is done.

Wow.
1500 WHOLE pages?
And how many boxes were sold? Something near 2 million?
You do the math and figure out the percentages.
And the fact that it IS a wide selection of hardware configurations having the problem should TELL you that the problems tend to be LOCAL. For example, crossfired 4890's is, in theory, giving me roughly the same performace as a single 5870. People with 5870's complain that they barely run the game. I, on the other hand, never drop below 40 fps.
That SHOULD tell you something.
I'm not saying you're NOT having problems. I'm saying that a big chunk of them are on your end somewhere. And I'm also saying that overclocking DOES NOT give you the same real world performance as hardware designed to run at those speeds, regardless of what the benchmarks say. Which is why I never overclock and just bite the bullet and pay for better hardware.
Also there is the right way to overclock and the wrong way

1. Eu maintenance times.
Given me a time where everyone on the planet sleeps who is not Assie North and south American and EU. Someone is going to be screwed it just happens to be you.
2. Ability lag (Big one)Yeah it sucks, can't argue
3. Ridiculous amount of bugs, its essentially still a beta.So is WoW, tell me when they fix the Mage blink bug that's been in game since day 1 and we will talk about bugs.
4. GTN is bad, needs lots of features added.Again can't argue but half your points are lacking thus far for the record.
5. UI... terrible all around, not even enough buttons to place all ur abilities!?While I can't blame you for this point I feel the need to point out do you think they intend to keep it that way or see what they can add to it as we go?
I still agree with you but is waiting that bad?
6. Lack of a lot of basic features, Macros, UI scale, Combat log, T.o.target, no LFG/D.These things are nice but do not an mmo make. Some MMO's have only half these things and do fine. I Cite EvE. Toys are fun but if a bare bones system works and works well it works.
Doesn't mean I'm not advocating change but this is a taste thing not a failure on the creators part.
7. Graphics/textures, looks like a game from 5+ years ago and still runs like crap.Do you watch cartoons at all? Spongebob is really rocking out hi-def CG these days I hear....
Not like his audience has shrunk considering 'omg graphics'.
On that topic his show is also linair and the plot resets ever week like Operations/Raids....
Conspiracy!
8. Customer service is TERRIBLE, no response, NO GMS, Mods on the forums are far to sensitive, yes they have the right to delete what they want etc but its clearly being taken personally, they are still human afterall.Or maybe there are too many negative threads? WoW's method of dealing with them was to have CM's cleverly disarm stupid people or send Ghostcrawler to troll back.
Frankly I'm completely fine with those in authority here going 'Yeah your stupid' To themselves as they delete the thread.
Comes out the same if you ask me.
9. NO addons, communities make the game according to Bioware, this is a massive part of that imo.Again there are mmo's without them.
10. pvp is terrible in a lot of ways, to many to number.No you have to list them to be valid buddy. You do not get off that easy.
11. There's more really but I'm not gonna spend that much time on it, they know by in large it needs massive improvements, it will take time.If they know you don't need to tell us or them. At this point your being impatient and ranting. I'll grant you every customer needs to do now and again as long as they understand they are ranting to let off steam and not expected to be taken at that face value.
In before go back to WoW etc, matters not what you think, for such a company to expect a sub with a game in this state is a joke, ill come back in a few months and see how its progressed, mite as well play St:O, it knows its crap hence why its now free2play.Just because a game is free to play doesn't make it bad. D&D Online would like a word.
So in short you know a bit but have no grasp on the reality of it.
Call me a white knight if you like but I just don't care. Its called being Pragmatic.... look it up.

The lack of a lfg tool right now is the one that bugs me the most. Actually, the entire philosophy toward player interaction needs work. Making both pve and pvp difficult and time consuming for those who do not wish to join a guild is a horrible (and horribly common) mmo mistake. It won't make us join guilds and it will make us play less often and leave the game sooner.
Then an MMO is not for you.
Paying for the game and winning are two concepts that should NEVER join hands.
You think I'm crazy but in 50 years when you rocking in your rocker you will have no stories to tell of the difficult days.
I kid but if you can see the truth behind such satire you get a cookie.

Trying to build an MMO that rivals other popular MMOs such as World of Warcraft is an audacious and daunting task.
Sorry that sentence made me squee a little on the idea there is intelligent life on this planet.

I was also wondering about the timeline. I didn't get the CE, so I don't know if Master Gnost Dural's (sp?) journal adds to the timeline, but if so I'll have to find a way to get a look.
The timeline is great. More please, BW.
As for it going back farther than the game story, I was hoping it would do that. I wanted a peek into the distant shadows of galactic history.
I think they stopped because they hit a block where if they did another massive spoilers would be had.
Just a guess

Entertainers from SWG.
Okay on the real side of things I would like to see Force adepts but they won't fly Empire side.

Ablity Delays that
MIGHT
be fixed.
You think they aren't?

I realize this may be something that you are not willing to discuss or cannot discuss at this time. However, I still gotta ask.
Is there any plans to expand on the class story in the future or are they now considered complete? I ask because my class story for Imperial Agent was AMAZING. It left me wanting more. I hope that future story expansion will not be just plant story expansions. I want to know what my agent plans to do now.
The Agent story is the only one I have completed but I think it has got to be the best story in the game. If anyone was wondering what class to play next and have not done an agent. DO IT.....you will LOVE IT.
First the voice actors for the classes characters male and female and your crew, important lore characters that have survives or play important relevance are on a 4-5 yr contract.
Second they promised that the tale can and will go onward. Proof? The above statement which has been in like almost all of the resent interviews with Steve Reid.
Links? Nah to lazy go google it yourself

You remember the guild leveling system from WoW? We are led to believe that its not unlike that for your account per server. So you unlock account per server abilities or races or discounts ect.
The exact details of the rewards are mostly speculation but that is the information we have been given thus far.
-
So a while before release Bioware promised that SWTOR would have branching plotlines similiar to their single player games (though tbh Bioware story branches are more like stumps at the tip). I am only half way through the smuggler storyline so far but have not noticed any consequences to my actions apart from getting different mail from questgivers which leads me to believe there are no plot brances with impactful consequences. Is this the case?
If you want massive spoilers then no.
If you don't then the answer is still yes but I can't tell you.

You didn't specify anything..wth are you talking about. I mentioned key features that they were actually talking about in the video. You didn't mention anything..wth does "how the game plays out" even mean? Can you be more vague?
Key features that every SUCCESSFUL MMO has. Yea..Target of Target isn't wanted..get real.
They are both "reviewing" or doing a first impression. One guy is playing and telling the other guy how things work. And if you actually watched the video you would know that they are BOTH very experienced with MMO's, hell the guy on the right even goes through a list of games he played and for how long.
Sorry, but I can't take anyone who thinks this game is fine seriously. You either are being totally biased or you're just inexperienced in today's MMO's. If it was F2P, then I wouldn't even be on these forums, I'd be fine with it..but the fact they want us to dish $15 out a month for what many consider beta 2.0...is just ridiculous.
I was being Vague because I don't want to talk about the UI. Yes it needs help that's not my core point though. Read the entire quote chain before you assume good sir.
I was addressing the linear comments about the game and how the review can't be taken serious because the reviewer wasn't playing the game.
but if giving a list makes points more valid allow me.
WoW 7 years
EvE 3 years
DCU 4 months
Star Trek online 2 years
City of Heroes spotty
fell better?

The quest seems bugged and doesn't give you the location correctly.
Bumping for great justice

Erm... First of all, it is already happening - just go to AC subforum nad read posts to know who got better dps. Second - he would change AC... yup, loosing his whole best DPS... yup. And? Yes, he would get second AC with all pros and cons. What is so dreadful in it?
Aha, so you are saying that people would automaticaly choose highest dps AC. Oh wait... they already know what is the best dps AC!
okay you totally by passed the point so I'll brake it down for you step by step.
Opertive can heal, he may take the dps spec but he can heal. Leveling content isn't so hard that he can't heal it even in a dps spec.
However as Sniper let us argue for the sake of example it has the highest dps. Which as I understand it does but still bare with me. If people desiring to get to max level quick to catch up with friends knew they could respec at max level for a cost they would level the sniper.
This results in less healers in flash points ect are less likely to be done.
The same goes for the other classes.
Why would someone level a Jedi Guardian when they can level much easier and faster as a Sentinel?
Better?

Erm... again (and again, and again and still waiting for the answer from no-noes and still none occured) - how would it hurt the game? Because I see one pretty serious reason why forcing harms me - I've got some RL obligations, and my day still counts only 24h. Because it's exactly same content for releveling same class with different spec. Because grind because there's no different way is BORING. Because I pay for play to be entertained not bored to death. And this whole problem - serious one - is possible to solve with such simple option, yet meeting so incomprehensible opposition.
So at least tell me at last - why not?
Well for the again and again and again I said it prior that no one has addressed let me copy paste it for you.
Because it is unfair and can and will result in abuse.
'Which of the two advanced classes has the best dps tree'
'This one'
'Cool, I'll level as this AC and this tree then when I get to max I'll respec to a tank/healer'
This will result in many players wishing to 'shortcut' the game to do so. people will level less variety of classes during 10-50. this will assure a shortage of tanks and healers for lower level content like flash-points, heroic quests and those practice raid world bosses.
That is why it should NEVER happen.
That's back on page 12 for anyone wanted to catch up.

I agree that purple crystals should be at least a little more common, on *both* sides. They're not all that rare in the EU... and personally, I want one because in every Star Wars game where you can choose or modify your saber color, my blade has been purple.
Also, if you're going strictly from the original ANH good vs evil lightsaber colors, purple would be a balance between the two. Which is perfectly suitable for Jedi who approach the balance angle of the Force.
Funny story Jaina Solo's first light saber was purple and she got it buy making it the same way the Sith make theirs. Granted she made it with the intention of it being purple from the get go but shes an engineer I think she knows what she's doing.

Space Combat on this Game is nothing else but a Joke, its a cheap Mini Game that felt like it was made for my iPhone or iPad 2. There's no Excuse for this kind of Space Combat and before any of you guys jump on my *** let me tell you that Star Wars: Galaxies what shut down because of this Game so at the very least they could of offered us the exact same Space Combat experience.
And star-wars galaxies did nothing to shoot itself in the foot?
Farther more all mmo's die my friend it wasn't going to last forever.
But back on topic with space combat I was under the impression this game was about the people and the ships were extra.

Well to answer id have to say that with any kind of system theres gonna be those that openly abuse said system. Now most go the way of if its not there then it cant be abused but id say your punishing the ones that would use it as a way to correct some mistake or make it so they can keep what they have instead of just getting rid of it. Now with this one time or multi time respec that can happen but as said its gonna happen if possible anyways. Yea with smuggler and agent your gonna have snipers and gunslingers dpsing without the base heals they have had if they were stuck in the advance class they intend on using but your basically punishing the players that would use it for the right reasons to keep the ones that wouldn't having heals throughout instead of when they were done leveling or close.
I don't like being punished or kept from having something because someone else would abuse it. Like taking guns from hunters and ppl that have them for self defense cause others are using them to do harm. Not having something because there's someone that will abuse it isn't really a good choice to me. Your always gonna have those that will do work arounds or use something in a unintended way, that doesn't mean it shouldn't still be offered to those that use it properly
Yes there is, it is better to not have options then to have them and have people then ruin things for everyone else.
Also Advances classes are night and day play style to each other. What it boils down to is people don't want to put in the effort to level an advanced class.
I see no harm in forcing them too.

There's also 4 more forms known in the kotor universe.
This causes me to nerd rage mostly to myself.
Blah also why do the sith warrior and jedi knight get all the forms? I'm quite sure the shadow and the assassin need them. Also there are forms that increase force powers would it have killed BW to toss one to sorcerer's and Sages?
While we are on the topic don't all jedi and sith learn one base defensive form? This would help hugely for the caster classes when they get swarmed to have a fighting chance.
okay I'm done.... /twitch

Why can't I move my UI around?
Why don't I have target of target?
Why isn't there a dungeon finder?
You think these are things that are ok to not be in current MMO's? MMO's have a standard today..Bioware basically said screw the standard..live with what we give you. I'm sorry but if you're ok with an MMO in 2012 that doesn't have the basic's of every other MMO then I feel sorry for the future "standards" of MMO's.
Did I say anything at all about the UI? I was talking about how the game plays out I didn't once mention the UI.
Yes, we don't want a WoW clone like Rift, but we do want vital tools that every MMO already has..they have these tools for a reason.There's a number of MMO's that do not have these things. Some of them have one and not the other but the point stands.
EvE
Champions Online
City of Hero's
Guess what? Those tools are not there for a reason, because they are not needed or wanted.
LOL seriously..That guy probably get's his info from IGN and Xplay..the same people that gave MW3 a 5 out of 5.
REAL reviews are from the nobodies on forums and blogs. And yourself ofc.
Except the reviewer and hence my base point didn't play the game, he watched the game and was fed ideas from the guy playing it.
Proof People are Leaving...

Yes it does its just a more popular game currently so you don`t notice.
