Logging into test server today and discovering that Sith Corruption now properly shows at character select...and of course all of the fabulous UI changes though that seemed a bit complicated at first glance.

Nope, every single time I have to slog through them I am thinking...who was the idiot who thought this was a good idea?

Yeah well its not going to happen because they have based the entire legacy system around this...its a little late now to start changing all of that...

I just hope after this 1.2 patch that Bioware concentrates on things that are in game already but need to be fixed. 1) Random audio conversations still suck, there has been some improvement however they still completely suck. You enter an area and a random conversation is triggered. The conversation starts with the first sentence, then it stops and then after I jump on a speeder and I am speeding away to my next destination I begin to hear the remainder of that conversation as though I am standing beside the NPC's listening to them. 2) When changing mods why does my character window and inventory window constantly close when ever I add a new mod? Then I have to reopen that window and the inventory, do another mod, rinse and repeat for every single change I need to make...why cant windows stay open unless I close them? 3) Why can't I pan the camera around so that I can see the face of my character? The only way I can take a screen shot of my characters face is during a cut scene..why? 4) The quest to end chapter one, Defender of the Empire, for the Sith Inquisitor has been bugged with targeting issues on the boss since before beta ended and it is still like that...why? 5) The area of maps that is explorable should be easier to see then it currently is and the maps in general are a real pain to use because of the 3D world with 2D maps. Can the maps be fixed at all?

I am on Bergern Colony and most of the time on that server it says "standard' or "light". I go back to my summer job on Monday anyway so after that I likely won't be on that much, so next fall when I get laid off I will be back for round two!

The thing is if you had a level 50 toon you wanted to transfer they would be around legacy level 15 or so probably higher. So if you wiped their legacy and started them at zero they would be way behind in a ton of important perks.... Server transfers are going to be a nightmare..pretty much garanteed.

The sorcerer ones are horrible, other then that they are not to bad, maybe the sage helm looks a little strange. They really need to think more basic and not so fancy, it almost seems like they think this is some "kids" game. Did they notice how old the crowd was at the summit thing?

About the only way I would like to see free to play for me would be if suddenly I got a call from Bioware and they wanted to employ me to play the game for them and make reports or something like that...so seeing as that is about as likely to happen as me winning the next lottery then you can see how I feel about free to play...

At this early stage in SWTOR's development for the developers to change requirements on an item that is purely a non essential item, this is a bit of a concern. Why? Because if this is the way they treat every new item they bring to the game, ie give it a 3 month window before it becomes vendor trash, then why grind for anything new? Just wait until its vendor trash because the wait will only be about 2 or 3 months......boring!

There are a lot of problems like this in the game. Like my Sorcerer's companion Khem Val, when he has his sword on his back it clips through his shoulder blade making it appear as though he "sheathed it" into his back. The Smuggler companion the wookie Bowdaar has a similar problem and I am sure there are more. However they are working on things like this because when the game first launched when these companions had their weapons sheathed they were not even visible and when they were pulled from the sheath position they just suddenly appeared in their hands. Same thing for the Operatives knives and the Scoundrels shotgun, you don't see them until they are pulled for combat. So hopefully they are working on things like this because nothing ruins immersion more then seeing obvious programing mistakes that just smack you right in the face every time you see them.

When fighting in PvE as an Operative I have had a problem where if Kaliyo and I are in melee with a target I am constantly pulling agro from her. This post totally explained to me why that was happening. It is because as an operative you are almost constantly on the move so very often when I hit I am probably standing closer to the target then Kaliyo is and that makes it easier for me to pull agro. Thanks for this post, very helpful indeed.

I really do wish Bioware had taken the time to develop the game engine for this game, however they did not. So now all we can hope for, if you like playing the game, is that the game engine gets better either through the developer of Hero or Bioware themselves. And it is quite possible that Bioware is working on developing the Hero engine further for use with SWTOR, I would not rule that out at all unless they actually said they are not doing that.

The part that bothers me about the bonus on some missions is that it is not really set up to take into account the player who stealths all the way into the boss, using sneak to get by the tight spots, and then kill the boss and the bonus mission disappears. Usually if you try that it is pretty rare that you go all the way in without at least one kill, in fact I like to kill the first group I see so I can find out if there is any kill bonus quest. So your kill count has started and just cause you killed the boss you don't get to complete it...kind of anti stealth quest design if you ask me...

The thing is the message I got while playing said, "pleas check the forums for more information" and I can't find anything official about it anywhere, in fact this thread is the only thing I have found about it at all....

They did talk about this at the summit and they said it is still in the plans I think....
