I think those were datamined and not released.

it flows in waves. Right now I guess the French caught on and are starting to exploit this.

I like to think of the Red Haze of text in the middle of my screen has Hard Mode The ability to disable red error text is very annoying for melee classes.

I'm assuming in 4 man flashpoints queuing? This is where you say "I'm not getting the heals, I'm out." Then you leave. You can queue up again and hopefully get a different group, if it is the same group just cancel and queue up again. I have a tank. If the healer is not healing me and the group won't kick them, I leave. There have been times where I pulled out my Treek and ran with her as a healer because the "healer" wasn't doing their job.

I haven't run into this in SWTOR, but yes, that would be ninja jackhole looting

you can not ninja loot in this game. Everyone has the ability to roll Need, Greed, or Pass. You can be jerk about looting, but you were fully in your rights (and not being a jerk) rolling on that item... because it was a tank off hand.

I bet a Legacy Bank for resources would fix this issue. Not only that but the server would only have to keep track of one pool of resources for each legacy instead of one pool for each character. I probably have multiple of the same resource on 2-3 different toons due to there being no legacy resource bank.

It maybe that cheap now, prices tend to fall the longer a set exists.

ESO looks and plays like trash. The reason the RPG is so great is because players are customizing it to their liking using mods. The mods I use in Skyrim make the game look damn close to next gen graphically. Those great elements which make Skyrim such an appealing game to the masses are non existant for ESO. ESO looks worse than SWTOR and the game play is rough. Now, the new MMOs coming out in the next year... those may have an impact on SWTOR, but certainly not ESO.

That would only give players more choices on which one set of gear they want all their characters that use for that particular stat. That would not positively impact multiple aspects of the game for various character levels and create a desire to spend more money in the Cartel Market compared to an appearance tab. In the end I would still only have one set of legacy gear per stat. I would not spend more money in the cash shop which means I am no longer supporting the game like I used to. If there was an appearance tab, then I would not only spend more money in the cash shop, i would spend A LOT more money since I can have multiple outfits across all character levels instead of just the one I currently have.

Every game has "good bye" and "I hate this game" posts. Developers do not (or should not) base their game choices on what people say in the forums. They should base their decisions based metrics and how their sales are doing.

and one new race that is just a reskin of the current ones and all races sharing the same body model, just texture reswapping. And yes, new planets sounds like a huge deal, but each planet is really just 1 zone in a game. Put it in context. In the last 2 plus years they have released 3 new game zones, 2 new PvP matches and GS.

The Dramatic Extroverts set is not an original design, the whole outfit consists of parts from other sets that has been slightly modified. The cost to unlock sets account wide is more based on how much time it took to design the set. Designs like the Sensuous Dress and Jori Daragon's set have the higher cost to unlock account wide because everything on that set is original (and still new).

I can not blame you. Bioware limited their own game development by trying to make their unique feature voice acting. Because of this feature, all new content has a much higher cost over most MMOs that are releasing new content at 2-3 times the speed. Even compared to games released with in the last 10 years, SWTOR does not make any significant improvements on the MMO genre and I find they still lack a lot of basic MMO features like appearance tabs, resizing of all windows (GTN, character pannel, etc), eliminating pop up text in the middle of the screen etc. And with next gen MMOs releasing in the next 6 months, I'm not holding my breath for SWTOR. Good luck in your new game. You an always visit if you feel the need since it is FTP.

That would probably be the easiest change but would not encourage me to spend more money in the CM except on the rare occasion something nicer than what I currently have shows up, which happens rarely and that would only affect my low level character. And if it is only one outfit then I would probably just buy that on the GTN and save my money. By making all gear legacy bound (assuming it is only reputation gear and CM gear) then they are only expanding my choices for that 1 outfit I use end game. There is still no reason to gather multiple looks for my characters or adapt their appearance to the environment. This game has the most cumbersome outfit customization system I have ever seen in an MMO. It is cost prohibitive to change your characters look on the fly, bloated, and time consuming. There is nothing fun or easy about changing a characters appearance. Once players hit a certain point in the game where they have 2-3 toons that can share one set of raid gear, there is no reason to use anything but one set of Legacy Bound gear and let other roll need on the rest of the gear drops.
