The reason for such terms to make quick comments whilst in battle, you dont wanna have to type "can the tank please take these npcs off me as im dying", its much easier to say "aggro" or "taunt off me please". you missed off adds - when 1 or more npcs join in on the current fight. cc - crowd control - using abilities that temperarly disable the npc of movement or attacks. pat - patrol - when npcs are walking along a set path which may bring them back along your path as you attack a group of npcs.

Im not 100% sure, but I think the founder titles were for all that pre-ordered the game.

It doesnt help that the LFG tool isnt really lazy-friendly, people dont wanna stand around spamming for groups. What would be cool, if you could queue upto a specific dungeon, and all the names come up for people who are wanting to do it, then you just chat to them and form a group, not planet side, but like a loby for each dungeon. Not everyone is loot orientised, i just need what im gonna use and greed the rest. Im not bothered how much i get because i'll probably make more money selling my own wares. However, theres just people out there who are greedy and want all of it, which isnt a game design fault, its a bad personality trait. Like those sado's who sit infront of the auction house all day buying and reselling goods, man why get mega rich in a game lol why not do it for real and be rich in real life if thats all ya care about

People keep posting this crap, but its the people who are too LAZY and ANTISOCIAL to make the groups themselves. Yesterday on Tattoonie, I did 4 heroics with 3 different groups, baring in mind there was only around 30-50 people around at the time. The fact is even though im a healer and not a tank, i still made all the groups and even went off from tatoonie to the fleet and did the mandolorian radiers flashpoint. So dont tell me you cant find people, I dont even stand around, im doing quests when im making groups, or im putting things on the GTN and queuing items for crafting. So dont blame the tools, blame the person using them!

The space combat is a mini game, its not meant to be a jump to light speed replacement, that games dead and gone. Like the original Kotor, it had a very short cockpit shooting game and the pod races, so mini-games have always been there, so they havent changed the mix at all. There short enough for anyone to complete and not feel pulled away from the main game, they give xp and cash which sometimes you really need quickly, like to level up! And the missions get harder as you level up your main character, one I did yesterday was so an escort mission Taspin i think its called and the ship i was aiding barely made it to the cruser lol even though ive got all grade one mods for my ship! What this game really needs is bug fixes not "but i wanted this for my game" garbage.

Ok you talk about WoW having many areas for people to level up in, but thats just because in wow you just have quests littered around which basically consist of a little bit of story that no one reads that tells you to "go kill 10 rats!". Sure its easier to do that and have many more places to quest than to have an actual story to be following. The reason for the linear system is simple, it means there will always be enough people to find on the planets because they are not spread out on different planets. Its better to have 100 people on Balmorra, than to have 30 on balmorra and 70 on a new planet, the people on Balmorra will find it even harder to find people who havent done heroics. WoW destroyed there own group quests because of all the different places people could quest, dumbing down all quests so they could be easily solo'd by a 5 year old, no challenge at all. I played WoW upto 1 month before this launched, and I leveled from 1-85 as a goblin mage without meeting anyone in questing areas, the cataclysm areas like deepholm and Ulldum had 3-5 people around tops, that to me is more like playing a single player game. So what if you could level in 4-5 different areas, the quests were still boring, I'd choose story anyday!.

Bioware will never ask you for your password - thats one of the loading screens. Also "free gifts" = scam, its a dead giveaway even if the punctiation is bad or good.

wow is a single player game 1. from lvl 1-85 you dont need anyones help. All group quests have been nerfed to soloable. 2. From using LFG cross-server, you probably wont even know 1 person on your server, because A) they are rushed through and b) there mostly not on the same server. 3. Wow now has a LF Guild tool because of the impact that LFG tool has had on forming friendships in the game, some guilds ppl just use for the lvl 25 perks, and barely speak to other members. Basically you wanna find a friendly and active guild in wow, your gonna have to join and leave alot of guilds.

no, its the GTX 550i that runs higher clock speeds that cause the excessive heat, I have 2 140mm exhaust fans ontop, two 120mm intake fans on the side, 120 exhaust on the back, 140mm intake on the front, and i have a dual fan psi blowing air into the graphics card, it has nothing to do with fans, its just bad choice when buying graphics card

If you have a evga card, i suggest getting evga precision for it. its an overclocking tool, but you dont have to overclock your card to benefit from turning up the fan speeds. In the settings section, theres an option you can tick that uses a graph to change your fans speeds, its called "enable software automatic fan control" It changes ur fans idle speed from 30% to 40% giving cooler idle temps, then if your reaching 70 degrees playing tor like i was, it will increase your fan speed to %60 whereas without the software it was only 40%, therefore reducing my max temp from 70 to now around 55-60 degrees.

so what your saying is "im too impatient to wait for a lift so i jump down and die, wah bioware?!" You guys make me chuckle.

Potential buyers should check out the many features and videa content that can be found on this offical site and gaming sites, to make up there own minds if it is there cup-of-tea. This game will not suit all people, and yet the people who it does not suit still feel inclined to leave there biased posts scattered on the forums because they probably didnt do any research into this mmo before they pre-ordered. I mean if your going to buy and subscribe to something, you really should find out what your getting for your money.

Alot of players have gotten used to just bashing 1 button and relying on the healer to do keep everyone alive, but it doesnt work well in swtor. In swtor, you really need to learn what your characters combat and non combat skills do, as some give short imobilizing effects while others give longer, and these can be very important when fighting elites of 4-5. Also interupts dont seem to be used much either, very important as most the concentrated skills do the most damage. Focus fire is important, every elite down means less damage to the group, so taking 30s to each take down 1 npc each, rather than 1 npc every 10s is silly, you'll take tripple the damage as a team in the same time it takes if you just take down 1 guy at a time, and cc makes this even more easy. If people use cc and focus their fire (on tanks target), this game is like 200% easier than people just randomly attacking. It just shows the lack of understanding and experience of playing as a team and the low level of skill the players currently have.

A Few ways to get your immersion back: 1. Change font size and chat window box size, so its more vertical than horizontal, but so you can read the text, but its not in your face. 2. Right click general tab, chat options, change the general font color to something slightly paler than its current cyan brightness, that way it blends in more but make sure its readible. 3. in chat options untick general tab, this will give you 100% better immersion and only takes a few seconds to retick it back on when your looking for a group! (my fave option). Hope that helps
