If they keep cranking out content people will stick around/come back. I'm loving the challenging denova 8man op. Personally I'd like to see an open world pvp enabled system of a few planets that are capturable for a global bonus (DAoC RvR style).

They should lock your forum access once you unsub (even if you have playtime left) just to stop posts like this.

I haven't noticed any longer load times and I'm running below minimum specs. (intel core 2 duo @ 2.67 ghz, raid 0 7200 rpm hdds, 8gb ram, nvidia 9800 gtx)

I personally HATE instanced PvP; it feels like im playing HALO with extra buttons. (I understand not all agree with me on this point so we can agree to disagree.) My dream would be a seperate system of planets where the 'cold war' is still hot; and empire and republic have open conflicts over the capturable planets where holding enough allows use of a hyperspace lane and access to a planet that allows PvEvP (like darkness falls in DAoC). I would love to see it set up much like DAoC had the frontiers... where controling enemy territory planets added to the defenses at your home bases (you have extra conscripts to pull from captured planets). If you add a global bonus to the entire faction for control of the PvP area then you will incentivise open world PvP with out needing to Mudflate the gear. Maybe 5% bonus damage or something (they would have to make it good but not godly). All that being said I love the game and 1.2 came just in time because i was getting a little bored; keep the content comming guys!

I can agree with some of your points but not your conclusion. I like both PvP and PvE. For PvE: The new operation really satisfied my need for PvE challenge; kudos to the Devs for that! For PvP: I personally HATE instanced PvP; it feels like im playing HALO with extra buttons. (I understand not all agree with me on this point so we can agree to disagree.)

Is it sad that I didn't know what planet you were talking about until I saw the post about dailies being there? lol I called it 'jurassic park planet'. The power was out at the t-rex paddock!

I've played just about every mmo at release. Every time there were posts complaining about paying for beta testing it. Major MMO's always launch with content that didn't make the cut and sometimes it gets added later. Being completely honest with myself, even with all the problems i have with this game in its current state, I have to say it was the smoothest MMO launch and has the fewest bugs in it than any other MMO ever. We can disagree with design decisions and time management choices we would have done differently; but seriously get off your *** and make a MMO if you can do it sooo much better. Edit: PS if they had pushed the game release back to april this year in order to get legacy in for release most would have complained the whole time about how they needed to just hurry up and release it. ( i remeber a poll that had 70% or so people saying they'd pay a sub to beta test it anyways; couldn't find it on search might have been in the old beta forums)

Bounty Hunter, Imperial, Complete class quest line on Hoth. He's a ranged tank.

^^ what he said

I noticed that too! I was looking for that set with green plates and brown robe and never found it.

For some games that may be correct but for more pvp centric games the FOTM dance was very common (DAoC specifically)

I understand. There are things that drive me up the wall too. Some are design desicions I would have made differently, others are purely based on time. While we can debate what area we would focus on if we were in charge; we have to understand that with limited time they can only do so much. Personally, all the unfinished stuff i blame on the 'space content is required' posts we had when they first announced the game. The reason why space feels so slapped together is that it was a 'last second' addition they had not planned on doing at all. It stole dev time from other aspects of the game. Now that the game is released, they have teams working on different aspects and project managers trying to put it all together into patches that don't completely break the game. They are inexperienced with this step of development; even the illustrious WoW had growing pains early on as the dev's learned lessons and smoothed out maintenance times and patches and got good at not breaking the game between patches. TLDR: I get it the game isn't all it can be; but hopefully they will get there after some growing pains, this is their first MMO.

No. If you balance classes based on population you create the FOTM cycle.

Just because another company made a great car and you have the blue prints; doesn't mean you can make a car yourself with the same handling characteristics no matter how hard you try. Regardless of leasons learned bugs fixed you have to understand that once you introduce another engine it all is moot you have to start from scrtach; even doing the same thing requires a completely different approach and programming which you have to learn for yourself. Think of it like a song sung in English; you want to copy it but in a different language; you have to change words around to make it flow with the rythym but find away for it to mean the same thing.
