I think Firebrand hit the launch servers to promote her anarchy agenda......

Well that makes me a sad panda Thanks for the update.

Well said, people whine a lot. It doesn't matter how much content they made, folks would burn through it and complain the devs didn't do enough. It's much easier to play content than it is to make it........ To the OP, you seem concerned about "wasting" $15/month. Umm....I bet if you look at other things you spend $15 on you don't get nearly the fun you can out of a month of SWTOR. Movie - 2 hours, G&T made with good Gin, about the same......if $15/month is really that much of a burden perhaps playing video games really shouldn't be a priority. There's more to the game than PVE storyline as well I might point out. Anyhoo........

I thought there was a 12x xp bonus going on if you were a subscriber? I convinced my brother to re-activate his account as he could level his characters faster but when he subbed up and I logged on his character there was no longer a 12x bonus. Did this change or are there some hoops to jump through to enjoy this benefit?

I'm a big fan of Hatred, I like the DoT damage and the passive healing from it. But Deception is also good, really more which style you like. But for me, i'd recommend Hatred.

Did you try contacting support to let them know, a 24 hour interruption of otherwise consistent subscription seems like something they could work around? Ya, that would annoy me as well.

Disagree with the OP, i like the new conversation style and the throwback to KoToR dialogue, there is still plenty of cinematic conversations, just when they need to be. To me this streamlined the quest process which frankly I found quite tedious having to sit through a cinematic even for a relatively minor quest lines.

Couldn't agree more with the OP, seems like a new fun game again that I want to play and not just grind stuff. Like the story, I REALLY like being able to use whatever companion I want in whatever role i want. Soooooo sick of Talos Drellik if I need a healer. Building an army and making connections, things are fun again

Great advice, thank you very much!

So I have a 60 mara, with about 190/192 gear in most slots. I want to start doing pvp, but when I look at the pvp gear to buy with standard warzone comms (which is all I have) the gear is much lower value. Is the trade off for Expertise so great that it is better to pvp with the starting pvp gear over 190/192 PVE gear?

Treek is a highly effective companion, seems to be the best healer out there which my tank loves. What my tank does not love is Treek’s high pitched and high volume battle cries in the annoying language of the Ewoks. OMG the most annoying sound in the entire game after 5 minutes of it. Please adjust this in some manner as I find this companion very hard to work with.

$15/month is a joke, I spend more than that going to the movies to entertain myself and wife for 90 minutes. I get way more than 90 minutes/month out of Swtor. I have a hard time believing that anyone who cannot/will not pay $15/month can/will pay $9/month. The path to subscription is being willing to pay for a service, this game wasn’t free to make. Sorry to be so negative but c’mon folks......

This is a masterful piece of trolling....well done.

Is it crass to support my own suggestion? Maybe but I’m doing it anyways.....

Bump this, good idea
