So I saw this change and had to put my 2 cents in as well. I really wasn't looking forward to another grind, since I don't have a schedule that can accommodate most of the things I enjoy in the game. I had actually enjoyed the recent chapters and was happy that they focused in one area. As soon as I ended the chapters I stared down the cxp grind and said I would wait. That pretty much ended here.. 1 it isn't legacy wide and with the amount of toons I have enjoyed throughout the years I just can't see myself trying to make each toon level up to a point where they rewards are worth it. Also I don't see the game lasting to a point where the rewards are constant. 2) 300 levels is an inane amount of levels 100 like originally talked about ok fine sure the legacy grind was there (the rewards still haven't changed in a long time) but I thought with more than one character 100 levels with going through operations randomly flashpoints to gain points sure I can get there. This change though will increase the amount of time it takes to get 1 level and since people are saying the time from level 5 cxp on is harder and increases then I just don't see it as a reason to get geared up. I hated this idea earlier when it was announced, I got over it, but yeah now... I just went past hate to hell no not gonna try this hard to get passable gear. This isn't what you all said in your streams. Nothing alluding to the fact that we would have to hire someone to play the game 8 hours a day to grind cxp to maximum level. Thank you Bioware/EA for making a bone headed decision that makes my desire to change games so easy to choose from. Ciao incredibili pietra cervelli

Isn't this the problem that people are still worried about and you noted in the stream.... if you are as unlucky as some of us are with RNG... me included and get 25 belts for example and you have 4 other pieces of gear that you haven't gotten upgrades for in lets say 2 weeks then I have a mod I can move but back to the other 4 pieces my armoring's are slacking vs the rest of my gear. Which when I want to experience say a higher level of the game and I am affecting the rest of the group because I am not able to keep up with what they are at because they have been lucky with the RNG gods as we all call it. Is this system not unfair to force others to be lost in the vacuum of RNG purgatory when they want to group with you? I understand for some users the time line might be quicker but for people that are not playing 5 hours a night and 10 hours a day on the weekend when bored. It still makes it harder for those people to get geared up under this system being RNG.... it has been said before and it will be said before. The last time SWTOR was using an RNG system for gear drops it really didn't work out well. Your RNG system only really works out if you get way more crates vs just a few. Per your comments... play one hour probably get a crate... lets be honest sometimes your game has massive bugs in it.... get 6 crates for the week... RNG gives 6 belts.... wooot I have 6 mods I can use... no armorings and no enhancements to be used elsewhere.... yay! Just hoping to get something that is fair for all it has been said before the RNG gear system that was used before failed miserably.

I have been doing gf and taking 30+ minutes to que per instance even as tank is getting ridiculous. Thought I would see if anyone would be interested in getting it done together. BTW Shadowlands server.

Hard Modes needed still Assault on Tython Battle of Ium Battle of Rishi Blood Hunt... yeah I know but have to try Hammer Station Korriban Incursion Legacy of Rakata Lost Island Maelstrom Prison Missing Details Data - yeah I know but have to try Taral V The Esseles The False Emperor The Red Reaper If I can also get help with Gate Commander Draxus and Operator IX that would be wonderful as well. I can tank, or dps warrior/jedi 65

I think I remember seeing the email but it was a busy time at work so I deleted it due to the fact that it looked like a pitch to play the portion of the game I was already playing. I didn't make it to the bottom and deleted it and its been perma deleted too. Too old to go back and get it back from yahoo's recovery system. Please let me know what to do now.

By the way.... A Helm is a subscriber reward? It better glow and and shoot lasers with actual significant damage at our target if its being worn... I honestly don't see anyone running around for long with this on.

Still? how bout roll back the patch that stopped players from logging in? What is soooo very necessary in 4.1a that you can't just roll back this client breaking patch? So since Mucky Musco said you all like to hear what the player base is concerned about and what we would like fixed. I personally would like an emphasis in programmers moving away from the cartel market for 3 months. Be assigned to the fix the game team and come out with patches that are "tested" by player base so little things like screwing up a log in is not an issue. Fix major bugs first then work on down. QOL updates in the game are null and void if the game is not playable wouldn't you think? By the way all your problems started when you introduced bitraider soo long ago. It's been an absolute crapper for you all every time something like this comes up. Best solution.... get rid of bitraider. Player base hates it and you all can't seem to code around it right.

Noticed this and wondered if this was getting fixed in the patch... noticed it wasn't... Also it felt like the npc's could be behind a wall/big block/random thing that I can't see through and still be shooting at you.

Le Sigh... I wish you all luck here Just a suggestion for the folks writing the code and testing the game out ... maybe get some testing computers that are outside the actual mainframe network so you can see what everyone is experiencing. I don't see the current set up as conducive if you don't have the player base not test it out for you.

Next question, since you all clearly know me very well. According to me (and probably only me), who is the best character in SWTOR? In honor of this character's amazingness, first 7 to answer correctly get codes. Also, I will code spam for the copy/paste race in my next post. BE READY. -eric Skadge... cause you're a mean one mr grinch

As of this post I haven't seen an answer to the second part. So for ONE lucky winner, of a possible 250 Mounts unlocked, how many do I currently have? First person in the thread with the correct answer gets bonus awesomeness. -eric 222

Called customer service line... estimated wait time is 1 hour... so hey gonna make a note here and just say ... fantastic support... My only question I guess is ... who was makin babies in the login server room today?

Threw my information to the list already there. Enjoy

It is kind of telling that for 24 hours there has been nothing coming from the dev tracker. I am glad you are this unresponsive. It means a few things 1) You are figuring that you realize that this mistake is going to cost you players, credibility, and most importantly cash flow. Because if people are unsubscribing and not willing to put money into fake money i.e. cartel coins for a game they will never play again cash flow stops. In your apology letter you are giving us back at least 50% of what you took away and also giving us something shiny to look at. Leaving the companions alone and gameplay decently enjoyable and less of a pain in the .... for the duration of your time away making sure nobody steals too much thunder from the movie coming out in a month. 2) You are writing up a post that will clarify that you have made what you all determine is the best decision for the game you want to put out. And are willing to accept the fact that you will lose a significant part of your player base because it is the game YOU have said is the best of the best of the best. 3) You are going to flip flop around for the next 3 months and make statements like "Can you define the meaning of the word is .... is" doing the same thing as point 2 just also making sure your next employers see what kind of politically correct dribble you can dish out to a hostile community. 4) All of you have been fired except the people that keep the servers up and running while replacements to restore the communities faith in the product being given for people to try and enjoy.

So I did a log in and amazed after seeing the note of long time lines for patching went by smooth. Hate me know its ok .... but I did go and try a SF basic solo run... cause well my last repair bill was ... wow. What I did notice is that my comp out as a healer had a very noticeable delay in skills being utilized. Kind of like there was something written to say to the comp. Ok heal... now look at the shiny blah blah... oh hey back to a heal... see the shiny.... is that a healing button over there... shinnyyyy ..... On golds with a pack of other things around I would drop down to 10% without adding some sort of electro dart/crabonize ability into the mix. When I did do one of those two abilities... bam comp just seemed to stop doing anything. I sort of understand the method of madness that goes into making something last longer (see word search grinding reputation - WoW). Since well the holidays are coming and most of you already left for the year to go enjoy a beach somewhere or have been fired by EA since its a new expansion launch so why keep any of the code writers to last a whole series. But I just don't see the logic in this much of a companion nerf to make a very minutia of the community who is more vocal than the people who just want to enjoy the game outright. It was fun while it lasted but I am thinking this is a straw on a camels back. If there is no changes to revert back to comps being as fluid and effective as before 4.0.2 came out. I doubt I will be around to finish the story line. I don't need a second job, I want something I can enjoy.
