Essence in question, is Snipers core essence. If i recall right, first From-cover abilities were replaced, so they no longer needed cover. This was still tolerable, but it made following issue possible. Cover Bar was removed. This was unbelievably amazing QoL thing for us who main Snipers. These two together has taken away the whole essence of Snipers. We are turrets and we should become that once again. I understand, that not everyone liked Cover bar (which is strange), but every sniper i have ever talked to, used it and loved the idea of seperating from-cover abilities from other abilities. If Devs don't want to make changes on abilities... fine, but for the love of god, bring back the cover bar!

Over the years, i've had a pleasure and pain to experience this world of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Amazing stories, interesting Flashpoints and occasionally challenging Operations. However, there are couple things that have bothered me ever since i started this game, long long time ago. Quality and Outfits. I simply can't understand, how this game STILL has animation bugs all over the game and they are not fixed, even after YEARS of whining about it. Do you understand, how much that affects the overall quality of the game. A LOT! People literately do NOT continue playing when they see this kind of quality! This would be understandable, if we were living in 1990-2000, but not today. Quality of common things, like activation animations, jumping away from in-game taxi( Character forgot how to be a living thing for a moment), skill animations(Gunslinger and Bounty Hunter guns firing after fights end, characters pointing their guns at the completely opposite direction of a targeted area when using Aoe skills, etc, etc.)... we stare at these all the time and if we need to stare at broken animations year after year, it's going to tip that imaginary cup eventually and we will see that you don't care and we stop playing. As simple as that. I am huge fan of outfits and making my character look exactly how i want. This is why i tend to use a lot of real money for nice looking armors and weapons. I am not sure if you think your customers are stupid or are you just lazy, but quality of some weapons(especially swords with own visual holdsters or guns with holdsters) is horrible! I just recently made a dual wielding character and purchased Ancient Je'dii bundle. I had to use 35€ to get enough cartel coins to purchase that bundle and i was utterly disappointed afterwards. Armor is decent, i did not find anything to whine about it, but weapon is broken. Sometimes when i put it into outfit, it's missing that holdster from my back and same happens when putting another one on me. Here comes the horrible part.. You did not even bother to make counterpart of the equipped weapon, incase they are dual wielded. You simply flip the holdster other way around when equipped on off-hand?!? It doesn't work unless holster and/or weapon is identical on both sides and with this specific weapon (and other holdstered guns) they are not! They are simply flipped around and beauty is gone. Not to mention, it looks ridiculously stupid in most cases. And it sometimes looks like the weapon holdster disappears for no reason, no clue why. I might be posting this years too late and perhaps you are already letting this game die, but if i don't tell you about these things, you wouldn't know my opinions. Perhaps my opinion doesn't matter, i am just a one player. However, if i see and experience this, there must be others. There is always hope.

This. I don't fall into any of those. Number for me, would be 00442030141826*. Star being placeholder for "number appropriate for your provider and country" What is that. In my country, if we call eachother via mobilephone it's just plain 04x or 05x xxx xxxx. If ANYTHING, there's +xxx in front, first zero on 04x/05x is replaced with that +xxx number. So to me, instructions are not that clear. Please, do enlighten me.

So what's up with this? Sometimes, it works like a charm. No funny bussiness and deeds are done. Then, if you step even one step towards account problems, here is where it gets BAAD! So, i am Founder, i've been here since launch, like a lot others. I've quit and come back quite a few times over the years. In my case, ofcourse i lost my first account e-mail address provider and didn't have phone author back then. Now, e-mail is gone, just no way to access that old account. I sent a message regarding the issue and answer was... Call us. <input words and expressions of undeniable rage here> What? I am Sub, been playing since release. I live in a location, where phone number (presented by EA) is utterly weird. I don't even know where to start with that. In which way am i supposed to dial it.. with a star on the end of it... And why? Why an earth should i need to call you. I am very much capable of transfering EVERY SINGLE information you would possibly imagine you would need to verify me. All the character names, e-mail account assosiated with that account. secret questions, password to that said account. But no. I have to call from other side of the damn world and pay the bill... I ALREADY PAY YOU MONTHLY! No. This is not how it is supposed to go. There's a saying "Don't fix something that is not broken", this is broken, fix it !

Leave the Guilds out of this. While you are right, it might help with gearing, you can't possibly assume everyone in this game belongs to guild with nice and helpful people. What i've learned by my past experience, that's quite opposite. To me personally, it has no difference, whether i am in guild or not, outcome remains the same. Going off-topic here, but also, you can't possibly think that people play this game only because it's an MMO. They also play this game because it's a Star Wars series. Stories that are not in the movies, Places to look at. Even if this wasn't MMO people would still play it. And no, MMO does not mean you do stuff with people you get along, It means there are players other than yourself that you can interract with and there are content in that game, that requires more than yourself to complete. Edit: As it is, this suggestion is not a debate or conversation. It is very real suggestion i'll leave for Devs to consider. So i do not expect people to type suggestions for me personally, when i am not suggesting this for my personal case.

That "solution" does not help those who are not in Guild. You are VERY rare case in big community. Most OP runs that invidual player does, is outside of Guild and as solo queue or premade group. Problem is very real, even though there might be exceptions such as guild runs.

This needs to be addressed. Some people might hate this, some people might understand this, but it needs to be suggested. Personal Loot System in OPs. Today, when new player joins the OPs for the very first time, they will encounter people with top-notch gear needing for gear they do nothing with. Why? Because THAT piece you really needed to progress, but they took, is going to their alts. This is unacceptable. Loot that drops, was acquired as a team, not as invidual. There is no sharing in this game. Today, people don't care about others, this community has gone so deep into mud. To counter these actions, we need something. We need invidual loot system. Or alternative option, make OPs loot Bind on Pickup, so it can't be given to anyone else, but to those that were in Operation with you at that time in any means.
