I've put up with a lot dumped on me by this update/expansion whatever, but this has me ready to cancel. I've died 7 times before thinking oh wait, this is yet another bug. If you can't fix it, then progress me beyond it so I can get on with the story.

Yeah, I guess I am. Hadn't considered my dislikes from that angle. hmmm Cal

*bows* I stand corrected. Cal

I must apologize for the harsh tone, I was simply trying to be honest. Yeah, I can't fault these guys for trying to ensure a viable, profitable future. Some of the decisions this time around, however, have me scratching my head and wondering.. Not sure if I'm continuing the journey or not. Just wanted to put out my opinion. And, to all the detractors: hey, attack my opinions as you will; but not myself. I wrote an opinion. Would appreciate refutation of said opinions rather than personal attacks. Cal

heh. Well, I'll have to take your word for that. I don't play comp games, only MMOGs. I didn't speak much on this in my OP, however, I could say that the direction of the game 'moving away' from a traditional MMOG experience is also alarming to me (I'm aware the Devs have said they will 'not forget that SWTOR is an MMOG) and may be the final fatal signal that I need to move on. Hope not. Cal

My take: Extreme dislikes: Boring, predictable story/plot from start to fake finish. Simply astonished with the lack of imagination and creativity and the apparent inability to write a story outside of a box of tired tropes and clichés. The Evil Twin triumphs for a hagridden journey down into even more yawn-inducing hubris. Oh, Evil Twin has an even more eviler Sister. It's all a plot by Daddy Dearest who, of course like the rest of us, foresaw it all. *yawn* My Main Characters are now MUTE: guess what? I never played KotOR and I never will. So directing 99% of the resources for SWTOR into an expansion hailed as an homage to said game means absolutely nothing to me. Absolutely nothing to me. Did I mention that doing this means absolutely nothing to me? My first impression was this: oh, wow, they ran out of money for the voice acting and now I have to choose from a boring list of responses which my character won't ever speak---said responses being nothing my character would say in any case. Yet ANOTHER currency I am expected to grind for, forever. No. Not doing that again. Changing my skills/abilities yet AGAIN. I have grown very tired of this. I know every MMOG (and I'm using this term very loosely for this game, atm) has to be adaptive to the massive creativity of it's players. A handful of geeky developers (no matter how smart) just can't match the sheer determined efforts of the power MMOGers amongst us. It's a given. But with every expansion comes yet another alteration of my main characters abilities and I, frankly, am tired of putting up with it. Not doing that again. The Alliance System: ummmm, no, just no. I'm not going to go through re-finding/acquiring the companions I've already done. And, of course, since every single one of them can do the same as every other, there's really no need to do it anyway. Oh, not to mention all the grinding and creds I spent on getting their gear to as high as my tolerance for grinding would allow---wasted time and effort. Belittles the achievements I worked hard to get, relegates my subscriber status and nullifies all my feelings of progress. In other words: I spent the past few years wasting my time and money because the people designing this game apparently don't know how to design a game worth playing (evidenced by the fact they keep changing it out from under my feet every expansion). No, just no. Level Sync: yeah, right. Basically: we've run out of money/time/ideas for more content so we're going to make you go back and do the old content again, only this time, you have to play it at lower level----again! Ummm, No. Likes I Found Worthy of Considering, but then Again, Just Not Enough: Getting to actually play a Gay Character if I want. Granted, it wasn't nearly enough and it was biased and arbitrary (oh, I can flirt with Vette, but not Lt. Pierce or Quinn? Really? Why not?) AND I had to wait 2 years for it. But hey, not bad. Not even TSW allowed straight-up (pardon the pun) LGBT characters. This option kept me going for months longer than I would have otherwise. Graphics: some, really really nice; others, meh. Makeb purty much sucked for me as well as Ilum, but otherwise, found the graphics awesome. Voice Acting:: If you've ever played ESO, then you should thank all the Gods you know for the voice acting in this game---from the original story/game, that is. Even the acting in this boring expansion humiliates every other MMOG's efforts out there. It's STAR WARS! Conclusion: on the verge of the clicking the cancel button of doooooom. There's nothing in this story and radical alteration of the game that appeals to me---and I despise the cinematic gameplay (I admit this latter is simply because the story is boring me to tears) and I am very intolerant of episodal 'content'. May the Force Serve you Well, Cal

Heyyas. Unfortunately, when I buy a guild bank from the Cartel, it is auto-bound to me, preventing me from donating it to the guild. Can someone advise how to do this/buy this correctly? thanks. Cal

Hey all, I can't find a way to place a guild bank into the guild stronghold. Personal is easy. How do I buy one and then make sure it goes only into the Guild Stronghold? Cal

The screenshots I've seen so far don't match that concept art---or, perhaps it was ingame footage. Whatever. The game version of that art looks childish/cartoonish. Impressive concept art, but mediocre rendering in 3D. It made me think of a more up-to-date WoW scene, to be honest, though I've never played that game (just seen quite a bit of screenies from it). The name 'isotope 5' is incomplete. Isotope 5 of what, exactly? But, no matter. That makes no difference to me whatsoever. Overall, I'm just 'meh' about this expansion. But that's just me. Others seem to like it well enough. Cal

None. This seems the appropriate place to bring this up: speeder design flaws. Notice no seats or back-rests on the speeders your character is obliged to 'stand up' on? This means, technically, that you'd be thrown off as soon as you hit the throttle. Newton's Third Law is activated every time we speed around on these ridiculously designed mounts. Now, I'm a Sci-Fi/Fantasy enthusiast from way back, meaning I don't have to have my entertainment in this genre precisely mimic reality. However, as noted by Tolkien, the closest the make-believe world resembles the real world, the more engaging/enthralling it becomes (paraphrased). The more it violates reality, the less interesting/engaging it becomes. The motor-cycle type speeders are clunky, graceless and appear slower (though I know they aren't). The Throne-types are just sheer lore-violating CM ploys designed to rake in cash---nothing more. Therefore, my answer to this ridiculous question is: none. Cal

Besides, he's too thin, complains too much and has a mustache. I don't like my guys to have mustaches. Five o'clock shadows, yeah, that's sexy...but lose the mustache. Cal

I just keep shaking my head; what a shame. Awful is the best I can come up with. Why do they insist on sticking grotesque floating pauldrons on JK armor? It looks like an artist who cannot understand plate no matter how hard he/she tries. If I bother getting it, I'll just rip out the mods. Cal

At this point, I couldn't give a rats hiney whether this was a bug fix or a mistake made in the code. I don't like it. I will not play this game until these costs are reduced. If I find I am waiting overly long for a solution, then I'll cancel as fast as I re-subbed. My guild consists of CoH refugees and we're small in number, having been lured back to this game from elseMMOG (TSW, et al). Therefore, we cannot afford these outrageous credit and time sinks. Fix it and by that I mean set REASONABLE repair costs. If you guys feel that the costs were too low, fine...up them to a logical level. What you have allowed to go forward is unreasonable and illogical. As an aside, I have to echo what many others are saying: really? with all the bugs you need to fix, you choose THIS one? Bad move. Fix it or face another cancelled account. Cal

Plain Black Robes. No funky, thrown together anime bits floating on my avatar. No more exaggerated, fantasy-style armor. Just a plain black robe over normal SW clothes. That's all I want. The Tionese and Columi crap has me wincing and shuddering whenever I see it. I rip out the mods and stick them into the least bizarro stuff I can find. Whoever designed all these frightening armors perhaps needs to work on a non-SW MMOG because they obviously don't get the theme of this genre. Cal

They gave at least 10 warnings/notices. Nearly nonstop. Cal
