This has to be one of the most absurd ideas I have ever read on these boards. The whole point of a game is to play it from the beginning to the end. If you don't like 90% of the game, why on earth would you even bother to play it! I mean seriously why not just have an I win button that gives you a level 50 toon decked out in full pvp and raid gear. Welcome to the computer age of self entitlement and the Me! Me! Me! generation.

Don't forget about the tinfoil hat!

Being a crafter and having several level 50's I find it a pain to send out companions from my other characters. I have to swap characters and this tends to be a pain. Would it be possible to create a legacy reward in which we can send out companions of our other characters from a legacy window to go out on missions or to craft? Just an idea. It would save time swapping characters in and out.

May 4rth is a pop culture reference It has nothing to do with Star Wars. It was made very clear that there would be no pop culture references or real world holidays in SWTOR. If you cannot deal with it you might need to grow up just a wee bit!

May 4rth is a pop culture thing not a Star Wars thing. It was made very clear no pop culture references or real world holidays in the game. Because of the above there will be no in game event that celebrates the 4rth. They may start an event on this day but I doubt it!

May 4rth is a pop culture thing not a Star Wars thing. It was made very clear no pop culture references or holidays in the game. People really need to get over it!

People in the NA who play off peak or near the end of their peak whine over earlier maintenance. Most people are sleeping during this time. People in EU feel ripped off it is during their regular work day. Most people in EU are working during this time. So far seems to be a very good chance most people are either sleeping or working. Since this was the original launch territories seems to me that would be an excellent time for any company to do maintenance. As for Oceanic. They never had to launch for your territory they could have said screw it and let you keep the lag to EU or NA servers. For the Aussies can you tell me how many other MMO have Australians servers? Before you all whine to me about play times etc etc etc. The maintenance falls during my normal play time. I find things to do on maintenance day. No idea why you guys can't! Servers need maintenance. Deal with it!

Nothing will happen as there is no pop culture reference in Star Wars. Pretty sure that will include the unofficial Star Wars Day.

To the one I quoted. You are right, amazingly funny how people compare things to what they know. Excellent news flash. Too all in general: Watch the movies. Princess Leia knocked off a trooper with a blaster. Guess we could just look at the movies to see it as a possibility! I am thinking that some one on the design team may have just watched a movie or two and decided to incorporate a thing or two from the movie. It is a game mechanic. Just have to look that far that it was intended to happen so it does. Edit: FYI: I almost never get knocked off on the fastest speeder. My theory is it is based on speeder type, speed traveling and gear.

No I will not unsub for this reason. I am not an impatient child. Things people need to know: NO game will ever meet a hardcore gamers expectations. NO MMO will ever give the same rush as your first MMO experience. If I decide to unsub it will be the day I get bored or stop having fun!!! Imagine that quitting a game when I stop having fun or get bored of it. Oh and I won't be wishing it fails after I go either guess I am not that big of a loser! I hope no game fails because competition is good for current games and games to come!

I think the event was fantastic as it was though a few changes need to be made for future events. I would make the Starting worlds and Fleets 100% safe zones. In this case I would have put in 2 Elite CDC type guys to kill anyone leaving their ship with the infection, shuttle bay or orbital station. Let players stay on the infected planet and infect each other. Any world event should not turn on the pvp flag of a player on a pve server. In this case a plague infected player with pvp on could flag non flagged players when he exploded. This should not be possible. I loved the fact that one of the mobs was in a all vs all pvp zone though. I would have made the serum persistent through death so those who did not want to participate could go about their business with very little disruption. As for how the event started I thought it was fantastic. I loved the fact there was no notice and think all events should be done this way depending upon the event in this case it was done perfectly. I loved the daily increasing quests. Not everyone should be able to get everything all the time that would defeat the point of special events. This even was successful because it was fun and a surprise.

Welcome to the webs version of "mob mentality" To the OP: Do what most of us do when there is unscheduled maintenance. Go to the comic book store so your Mom, Wife, Life Partner or roommate can change your sheets. When you get home and that fresh scent hits your noise when your head hits the pillow and all your rage about SWTOR being down will evaporate! I would like to know what people with real issues would think about such minor complaints.

As I said before there were several interviews with the Dev team where they said the Legacy name would be permanent and would be attached to all characters. The old Forum had the information pre launch as well. If you don't like your legacy name don't display it. You have 3 options in how it is displayed. Last name, Title or off! You made the mistake of assuming period! You assumed that it was not permanent. You should not have assumed anything you should have researched. Again turn it off until you can change it! Though I will assure you they are not going to let you change it for free when the time comes!

You are correct that info was not available till later in game. However there were interviews with developers about legacy name and the importance of them. Not to mention several posts on these forums about it as well. All it would have taken is a simple Google search to get info on legacy name! I guess being silly is never a good thing. FYI there is an in game option to turn it off in game. Problem solved!
