JohraTon Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Pretty good post tbh, load screens are the bane of my life atm The crafting aspect I kinda half agree with and half don't. I like the fact I can craft the Rakata relics at 400 artifice but everyone else can get these through other means. This isn't really fair considering at 400 biochem someone can make the best stim in the game which can't be used by anyone other than those with 400 bio. At the moment for anyone wanting to take part in combat at 50, Biochem is the only way to go which is a little sad. Gear customisation - At the moment I think we're in dire need of an appearance tab. I now have most of my PvP gear and the body armour was the last piece I was hunting for. Prior to that I was using a nice artifact hood down robe which i'd picked up, it looked great imo. I'm also saving a great looking robe in my ships store waiting for this. Now even though I have the harder to obtain armour, I look the same as most other PvP'ers. I was under the impression we were meant to feel like a stand out in the story? Well that's hard to achieve when you look like your a regular standard issued grunt. The milestones at 30, well on the sith side, although you get the Lord tag at the end of act one, as a Warrior we don't receive our Darth tag until we defeat Barras at the end of act 3 so its not quite as bad for us. The worlds on the other hand are fantastic with Belsavis in particular being a standout. That place is just done to perfection and most of my friends who've played through there agree. Overall I love the game and I don't feel the endgame is as lacking as some people think. Yea there could be a bit more involved, but the game hasn't really matured yet. Open PvP on Ilum is a little ruined at the moment with the current system but once a fix is put in place, that should be much more interesting. Kinda being high enough early gives us the opportunity to be at the front of finding stuff in the game which no one else has yet. Recently I'd been hunting around for the Magenta Adegan crystal, which has been great to be part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concobhar Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Very well written post. Just regarding the Smuggler cover bug. I believe this was resolved last Tuesday, since that patch I've no longer had issues with my channelled abilities randomly cancelling. Was very annoying up to that point.

oOFluttershyOo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 In a sea of "this game sucks and I'm quitting because it sucks," this post is truly a beacon. I am posting merely as a bump, as my two cents covers things that have already been said. I am saddened that both the crafting system and the customization system could use a little more work, I do hope that a major patch in the near future will address these issues. While it is a relatively minor addition compared to the crafting and fleshing out end game, I would love to see a cosmetic system much like Everquest 2 or Lord of the Rings online. Also, if voice chat could be added sometime that would be appreciated Anyways, I believe this game is off to a great start. Can't wait to see how it advances over the years, I am sure it will be an enjoyable journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AluminumMonster Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Needs a way better LFG system. I have only done two FP's and am lvl 43. I cant find anyone to do them and it takes too long to find a group. Fix it because i hate leveling. I do enjoy getting a level out of instances and unfortunately have not been able to do that.

Vexous Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You know the sad part about customization? In beta you could remove the armor in epics like every other piece, yet for some reason they took out that feature. With raid epics as they are now you can still remove the mod and enhancement, but not the armor. Really the only reason I can see for this is to force people to wear that god ugly armor they've designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyjc Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 TL;DR For a brand new MMO, the leveling game is quite polished and very enjoyable; however, high level content and systems need some serious love. If you're rushing to 50 to get a taste of endgame, stop and smell the roses instead, because you aren't missing much right now. Reading through your post i have to agree on some points, not gonna bother on the good, since I do in fact agree and like alot of what this game is. Load Screens: Not so bad for me, I dont know they never take that long personally, I can see your point though. Gear customization at 50: Ya I agree on all counts, they sucked hard at their mod gear thing, it's nice for levelling but they just failed way too hard at 50, I'm sorry. They also failed to make AC gear unique, they also failed to make level 50 gear look epic/cool/ wearable from raids, I'm gonna agree here, big fail. Crafting: That all depends what you pick, for example, i was able to make 2 rakate pieces my 2nd day of being 50, which is great. Armormech of course. Biochem is insanely good, way better than most. Crew skill balance needs A LOT of work, but it's not as bad as you make it seem. Flashpoints: Personally two things stand out in FP's at 50, I refer to heroic really, we need a not horrible lfg function, and you should be able to disable convo's at the start, or some ****, sick of waiting through **** we've already seen. Also make them harder, they couldn't be more easy if you tried bioware, honestly. Social ranks: They are utterly useless. Class quests: Agree here, also that, really for most classes, the story passed 30 is lame and boring and repetitive. I refer mainly to trooper. Warzones: They just need to work on making imps and repub mirrors into actual mirrors, not imp or repub version being better. The rest you refer to will be fixed in about 2 weeks. Auto follow: Nothing to say here, it doesn't work, it's actually kinda funny to watch how bad it is Bugs: it's an mmo, get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the only reason I can see for this is to force people to wear that god ugly armor they've designed. That's part of the reason I suppose, it was really because people were cheating the system and using the first few bosses to get fully geared up, taking armoring out of helmets etc, where the obvious fix would be to make them only go into helmets, chest, legs, etc. They choose stupidity instead, so now my trooper looks like a complete tool, but what can you do.

Davorn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sums it up. A lot of these they can fix easily. Some may take more time. But I really hope they allow for mod's that allow us to wear the orange gear we wish to wear. Not all look the same. Love the game so far. Looking forward to playing some alts up.

SuperomegaOP Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Except Biochem. (don't nerf, don't nerf, don't nerf, don't nerf) i dont think they would be that stupid to nerf Biochem... because it would still be the only valid profession for anything end-game instead maybe they should buff and add things to professions that actually can be used at lv 50 O.o Edited January 10, 2012 by SuperomegaOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fail on that btw. So dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerobounds Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Print this outLabel it "To Do"Mail to Bioware. Even if they did half of the things you suggest here it would be a great improvement. Most priority being the cliff that everything falls off of at level 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
