Please tell me the next chapter won't have to fight too many mobs every few meters we take. Seriously, the mob fighting in the recent chapter made it long, boring and tedious.

Will there be some sort of matchmaking with the cross faction warzone?

 

Can we expect other warzones to implement cross faction to help with queue times and team/faction balance?

 

Also, huttball is suppose to be "random" teams, so surely that would justify cross faction for that particular warzone?

 

Furthermore, when we can we expect some class balance?

I like these. Can we hope for increase companion decoration limit? As far as I know, we are still limited to 25 by stronghold, which is a bit ridiculous considering the whole "alliance" thing that gave us like 10 thousand companion to place around. Thanks.

All great, Eric, but what about new real endgame content? MY guild is fading as people move to WoW or other games to Raid. They haven't come back for the new chapter. Is anyone at BW working on a new OP or the move of your senior OPs designer to another studio a sign that BW isn't going to bother with OPs anymore?

Thanks for the livestream -

 

Some class QOL changes

Class QoL - when are you going to fix class issues. e.g. TK sages/Lightning Sorcs currently have a bad 6 set bonus because supercrit isn't working for Turbulence ability and others or restore there stuff like knockdown on FQ/LS - why didn't you put.

 

been posting some feedback on chapter X, but it's probably completely lost, do you have a seaprate topic we can write our thoughts on it so you can see?

 

I enjoyed, one of the things i loved most of it is that we are seeing new areas and more new assets rather than re-use of existing areas, and older assets, this really makes it a treat, and all the other action voice acting, script is top notch, but that has always been so.

 

Wondering why we are having a lot of Agent old companions in main roles? other compelling ones are around surely, and what about some more brand new main ones too - even though we don't want to overcrowd the main rosta - but, new ones non-old class companion ones like the male Voss from the Consular story or a Yoda Orteg - would really excite me and we think it would be awesome - especially since we don't have a damage tk, damage balance, or healing based consular sage companion - no sage based companion exists, and both these characters

would be excellent there.

 

Finally, you mentioned in the liivestream something about signing up on the website to get some cartel points, you said you'd give details in the topic, can you share?

Nice stream, thank you.

You perhaps show too much, but that's probably me.

I still think the 2 day early access is useless and silly

 

My question:

I had a question about the 5 strongholds limit. what does it mean for the conquest bonus? 120 % max, or still 100% but 5*20%?

 

ps: Oh, and name your quest categories properly, please.

I'm now soloing H2s whenever i want (back in the day i had to bring a friend for them, hence the 2), and now we'll be a group of 2 for a solo+? nah...

solo... solo

H2... group of 2 recommended.

clearer ^^

Uhhhh... excitement about the new items isnt the phrase your looking for.. I think only MeNaCe and the guy who got the rancor from the chance cube are the only two people playing the game excited...

 

Anger, dissapointment, and/or rage at getting a bunch of old junk -instead- of the new items would fit a lot better...

 

Chapter XI: Disavowed

  • Launches March 10th
  • Join forces with Major Aric Jorgan of Havoc Squad

 

Um... maybe Im forgetting my Trooper playthrough, but isnt Jorgan pretty anti-empire?

 

I can just see it now... "The Sith Lord And The Grumpy Cat, watch as the fur flies!"

    SUPER YAY!

    Um, what about people with duplicate Legacy Names as others? O.o

Thanks everyone!

The new warzone if I wanted to do it I can't que up with my boyfriend?

That's not the way I understood what they were saying. I think Eric was just saying that you can't have an empire player group with a republic one, because we never have been able to do that. But you could have a group of 4 imps on the same team as a group of 4 pubs, or many other combinations.

 

I'm actually rather pleased with all of this. Good stuff!

 

The only things that I would really like would be:

-Start of pvp S7

-New operations

The above is truly awesome! Great to hear! Bravo!

 

PvP may finally pull out of Maintenance Mode after all. I almost can't believe it.

 

And Cross-Faction queue implementation is fantastic! Thank you for listening to the PvP Community. Well done! I just hope it actually works. lol

 

Thanks again!

Pfft hyperbole. Are you actually playing the game? There are many, many happy players with the packs in game ... strangely enough most haven't collected everything before ( omg what?! really?! ).

 

But hey I guess if you're right then the pack purchases must have utterly stalled now ... strange though because the amount on the GTN keeps growing ... go figure. ;)

 

Funnily enough you're also the only player in this thread ( other than my response ) to even mention the packs - it's a REALLY BIG ISSUE AMIRITE!? ;)

Mixed? Really? Im not sure if you've read the forums, but I would say for every 10 negative reviews there is maybe 1 positive one? Really hoping some changes come in for this pack and those moving forward. Please see my suggestions here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=870986

 

Such unprofessionalism...
