digital versions are for iPhone and android phone. Correct my if I'm wrong, but there is no App for Windows or whatever OS you want it for. Sorry.

EvE seems to be the only truly non-linear game. The elder scrolls series just simulates non linearity with mob-leveling and all that stuff. The outcome of the quests is the same every time no matter which direction you go. Also Elder scrolls sacrifices a LOT of immersion and drama this way. (IMHO) GTA is pretty sandbox as long as you do not care for story. Once you take on the story, you are pretty fixed in what to do. The same as SWTOR. You can choose what to do next but ultimately you have to do story to advance in the game. Minecraft is a sandbox game. No story, no guidelines nothing. Even WoW has NO sandbox features. You can't do anything without questing. WoW begins at lvl 85 currently. Below that there is not much to do. There is no more linearity possible. Yes you can choose where to level next in SOME cases and you have the choice of max. 2 different zones. Wow. So sandbox. I do not really understand what the "linearity" problem is many people have. (I do understand some concerns about your decisions having no or just little effect) Sure it could be WAY better. But there need to be small steps. The story and immersion is a big step to more open gameplay. (again IMHO)

i /sign this. A nice idea i think. I honestly wouldn't want to play an Ithorian, but just making Nautolanians (Kid Fisto) Republic only would be a HUGE thing.

yes please

My concept would be one big structure with open hangars where every type of ship is in. You could just go to your ship or visit the other ship classes in their hangars. Should there be some ship customization later in the games life you could just load everyones personal config on approach. I am no programmer and I don't know anything about the possibilities of this. But it would be a lot more immersive in my opinion.

Could we just refrain from name calling and cynicism here? This is a discussion about game design. Some like it some don't. That is no reason to assume someone who doesn't like the spaceports wants to be lvl 50 in 2 hours. How in all the galaxy would you assume something like this? Are you really that childish? Btw: I would have loved such landing pads. Even on Balmorra, where you have just an outpost as a base, there would have been space for a small landing area. And please don't talk to me about realism. Story wise we are the only hero in the whole galaxy. A quest is still there, even if 1000000 people did it before you. So why do not have a small, secluded and instanced valley or hangar or pad somewhere where your ship is? Even a space station would be alright, if there would be anything to do on it. Having videos played just when starting and landing (without the space-stop) would actually be the way it was in kotor. Would be much more immersive.

I so hoped to land at a New Hope like pad on Tatooine. but what do we get? A copy paste spaceport. I love this game and I will continue to play for a long time. But the spaceport design actually ruins a lot of immersion for me. Every time it is the same Hangar, the same Spaceport. I don't even know why there are 4 different Hangars. Yes, one for each class, but really, they look exactly the same. You can't even see a ship through the green field on Carrick Station. So why the hell 4 Hangars? One Instance would have been enough. And when we talk about the space station we don't mean carrick Station. What we mean are the Docking Stations like on Tython, Ord Mantell, Korriban or Balmorra. They are a ridiculous 1,5 min timesink. Maybe they should show os some difference to the space port, but in fact, they just annoy moist people. Sadly there will not be anything done to this in the near future. Endgame has a way higher priority.

Hell, i get confused by 250 Lines of YAML in Minecraft. I wouldnt want to have to fix something inside millions of lines of Code. They are working in it. Have patience

Additionally there are most certainly different groups inside the Dev-Team who work on different thinks. If they have some intern writing down baby names, so what? They are working on it. And nobody wants to have a quick fix which will break the game at an other point. We need to be patient. If, after a month, there is no progress visible on the major issues, then we can begin to complain.

Its an energy generator for the shield actually. You can see the design nearly everywhere in SWTOR. Sometimes it has just one disc, sometimes more than one. If we go down that road, we could not take ANYTHING in this game seriously. "Bad Guys, driving triangular ships since 20.000 BBY!"

I actually Remember you from some old EGA threads and rants. Either i am completly wrong or you changed for the better Either Way, I totally agree with you in this. The Game will change and will get better soon. I Love it already. Happy New Year Full of swtor, guys.

I reseted my iPhone without having the game code near me (christmas holidays and stuff). It took about half an hour (ok, 3 minutes talking, 27 minutes computer voice) to remove my security key from my account. Now I just have to enable it again once I get home. Maybe I don't understand you clearly or maybe you want the wrong thing from bioware. Maybe you could explain what happened in detail?

As if the devs would need to put in a post at a random position somewhere back in this thread which produces 10 pages per hour in peak times. Why in all the world would Georg have done this? edit: On the other hand, why the hell are there no quotes or responses for at least 10 pages? I stand by my statement that I could not imagine a reason for them to do this, but someone would think that the thread would be wild about the response....

The post is on page 123, saw it myself and it made my very happy and kind of worried at the same time... But at least they are working on it and the people who are calling this thread whining were proven wrong. This was the first thread which featured adult conversation and real talk and discussion about a real problem since the forum wipe. The OP deserves some credit for that i suppose.

Ok, I was factually incorrect and a bit rude I guess. I'm sorry for that. But they really really tell you very often that the it is permanent....

Ac is your class. You NEVER EVER IN ANY MMO can change from Mage to Rogue. Deal with it. Bioware told you 10 times over (I just put a char above ten yesterday) that AC is permanent and CAN'T BE CHANGED. Roll a new char, it takes about 5 or 6 hours. Less if you skip the conversations you already know now.

What we really need more than anything else is more forum avatars! I already got paranoid from some of them. Everytime one of a handful of avatars appears on the left i think *oh not this one again* until i read the name *sigh* THAT IS AN ISSUE!! edit: How most of these avatars are sith.....

Ok, GoT won't be that popular in 30 years (but I believe nothing again will be. People just go on Hypes these days, after 10 years its over. People don't have any stamina for a thirty year fan base) An MMO would be a interesting idea for GoT, but it would be really difficult to do. They did a strategy game and it seems it sucks. Maybe someday there will be a good GoT game, but it won't be an MMO. On another note, please close this thread and kick the Poster in his backside for this.

Check your internet connection. Had the same problem for a short time and it wouldn't patch. Also check the usual stuff like running as administrator. Last resort would be to get the client downloader from this page again and point it to your files. It can fix error or download missing stuff. At least one of this things worked for me. Good luck.

S-W- TOR here too, at least in my mind and with other gamers. To most people I talk about the "new Star Wars MMO" or something like that, because they don't know "the old republic" or swtor or whatever. I have to add that I'm from germany, so this is the shortest pronunciation possible. A "W" is pronounced [veː] in german.

So, did they finally ban shady sketchy and he had do make a new account?

I see your point better now. Thanks for explaining. We have a lot of very fast posts here and some people don't understand what the other means. What you explained is perfectly ok and if you do not experience the problem that is good for you. Simply imagine your Grav Round has hit the target, the HIB button lights up, you push the button and your does not execute the ability, because a (hypothetical, i don't know the it) animation is still in progress. You couldn't use your HIB, the debuff to your target is gone so you can't use the HIB again (or there is a cool down on it). That is the situation many people have to deal with. In some cases there are additionally serious animation bugs. I hope, after you explained it to me, my explanation helps you to understand. edit: cutting of animations would hurt SWTOR badly. Just synchronize the GCD and CDs with the animations, thats all that needs to be done in most cases.

An electromagnetic field is actually the only way to contain plasma. When plasma touches anything not plasma, it either heats it up intensely or the plasma just falls out of its super headed state. The "lore" explanation for a lightsaber is a plasma blade, which is arced by a magnetic field back into the hilt. If the blade touches solid matter, the field and the plasma cause a reaction which "seems" like solid matter. Reflecting a blaster bolt is just accomplished by the magnetic field by the way.

The problem is not there is a realistic animation. I enjoy those very much in fact. The problem is a difference in the animation and the GCD-System preventing you from chaining your abilities properly. This has nothing to do with button mashing. Even if a Inquisitors channeled lightning would take 5 mins to channel, when the cast bar is full, you HAVE to be able to cast your next ability. But there is a hidden cooldown in some cases which prevents you from doing this.

Im explaining it again. There is nothing wrong with having a different system than WoW. But when the GCD ends, you should be able to do your next move. And if that is an instant cast, it is so. Nobody here talked about when the enemy is affected by your ability. This is solely about your move, its animations and the corresponding UI response being somehow out of sync.
