Maybe if they remade it with the engine from EQNext and Planetside 2 and added in things like EQNext Landmark and such. Might actually work a second time around.

I do understand the CM makes Bioware and EA money. I get that. But I have to agree with the OP here. Too much actually does pull away from the core game. I would love them to work on more flashpoints, operations, and pvp stuff. Heck look at huttball. They have the perfect chance to make it something huge. With ranked tournaments with teams and such. They could go really crazy with it. And even add other competitive stuff like pod racing or pazaak. Also what about the war? Makeb is done. Lets get back to why we are here. Republic versus Sith.

Makeb wasnt bad for my Merc healer or Jugg DPS until I did the Stage 2 Dissonance Wave mission. That one was really a pain. Running all over back and forth through mobs like crazy. And as for flying through on my bike.... Yah I got knocked off at least a half dozen times. And I was grouped with a friend. We finally dumped the mounts and just walked. We are going to face pull and get knocked off every where we go. Might as well cut a swath. The xp was good though so no big whoop. The mission would have been good if it hadnt been the last mission we were doing that night I am sure.

Sir Marty what was your character name that unlocked jedi on SWG? What server were you on? And lastly what PA did you belong too?

The thing I hate about the crystals is they are a big middle finger to artifice crafters. Because there is no equal in their crafting until level 50. There are a few items in the CM that dumps on crafters. But the crystals are the worst IMO.

Sorry to necro but I found this post so interesting. Because I ran a pen and paper RPG game not long ago in which Mace was back. And it freaked out the group heavily. Here is the stories. In my game.... Mace was battling the emperor as we see in the movies. Being electrocuted by Palpatine and having his hand cut off by Anakin caused Mace to go into shock. His primal instincts took over and subconsciously called on the power of the force. This protected his vital organs from the energy. But he appeared to die just before his body was flung through the window. He hit another building, going through the window. Again the force protected him as much as possible. He was found, rescued, and hidden away in the slums while he healed. It took a year to recover. Now for my campaign. 4 players. One of which was force sensitive but didnt know it at the beginning. The group's story was following something I had read several years before. About a group of dark jedi named Vader's Dark Knights. I found it compelling and decided to use them as the main enemies of the campaign. Along with a few bounty hunters like Boba Fett. During the campaign the force sensitive and the group go in search of a hermit on Tatooine. And they find Ben. After an adventure dealing with Tusken Raiders with Ben at their side, the force sensitive is told, by Ben, what and who he is. He is then told to go to the Dagobah system and find Yoda. A nice adventure there dealing with the final "boss" a high level dark jedi. Yoda then tells the young force sensitive that he can not train him. "Another I am waiting for. A different instructor you must seek hmm. To Dathomir you must go. A one handed man you must find yes.". So the group go to Dathomir and there learn of another hermit. One that lives in a very remote area of the planet. The campaign is done at this point. But they go anyway to seek out this one handed hermit. Emerging from a hut is a bald headed dark skinned man with one hand. I ended it right there. Didnt give them a name or anything. And they went nuts. "Dude was that Mace?" "How could it be Mace? He died" Oh the discussion after that was hours trying to figure out how Mace could have survived. I thought of trying to write a book about it, just to see if I could do it. But I aint much of a writer.

You mean like sand is refreshing to people that live in a desert? Or salt water is refreshing to people that live on an island? Or someone stuck eating subway everyday for months finds subway refreshing? reˈfreshing adjective 1. giving new strength and energy; having a cooling and relaxing effect. (a refreshing drink of cold water.) 2. particularly pleasing because different from normal. (It is refreshing to hear a politician speak so honestly.) But it is normal to see these types of posts.... So how can it be refreshing? Get it yet there sport?

No there were in the south of one of the continents. Cant remember where, havent played in years. I just remember them being there since launch and they led no where. Protected by some big mobs if memory serves.

I would accept minimal voice overs. Important things voiced over. Everything else use terminals. While the whole voice over thing was cool at first.... now its kinda worn thin to me. I am getting to the point I space bar through everything.

No your saying its refreshing to see a post like this. I am pointing out this post is not uncommon. You make it sound like no one has ever thought about posting about complainers before. I am saying its been done before. How can something be refreshing if its been done before... alot I might add? I am not saying his post isnt valid. I am saying your post with the whole "Its so refreshing to see someone finally speak out against these complainers." post isnt......Because this isnt a new thing. It happens all the time in game forums across the globe. In TOR it started before the game launched as "Why complain about a game that you havent played yet" Then after release it became "Why complain about a game that was just released." And now it has morphed into "Why complain about a game your playing". This is not new. Check any game forums. Go back to before release, just release, and current. This is one of the "common" post types. So no its not refreshing. Its expected. Not saying its good or bad. Just pointing out its nothing new.

NGE.... Nuff said there.

I think it was meant for something but was later scrapped. I mean besides other players being able to leave your ship. But this is not uncommon. Look at the world of WoW. They have tons of "Unused" things in their world. Like the big gates that led nowhere. There was supposed to be an instance there, if memory serves, but the instance was scrapped.

Its not refreshing. Its been done before. Every game I have played that had forums get this type of post alot. The complaining about complainers post. I have seen this post pop up as far back as Quake MTF. This is just as common as the posts that pop up when a developer make some content, that once cost money, free.

Interesting article. Good as I said "Unless they have them under contract" and according to the article they do have them under contract. Awesome. Still doesnt explain why they wont continue with class story. So Bioware says most of the cost of this game came from creating the game engine that they bought from Fabrik Plc and from adding choice and consequence to the engine? Wait a minute? Choice and consequence? Hmmm.... I guess they mean alot of cost went to making it appear there is choice and consequence when there really isnt any. Because I have played many classes over, choosing different options and yet the same thing happens which means choices have the same consequence so no choice at all. I do love that they admitted to the mistake every MMO developer always makes. How long the content will last. I havent seen a developer yet make a game that took as long as they expected to reach max level. You give players content and they will go through it ravenously.

They cant give a conclusion though. Someone would have to win. They cant go back to an uneasy peace again. That has been done to death already. One side would have to be the clear victors. That is the only ending possible. If they do that then whats next? And we know who would have to win this war. Because the republic survived long after the war. If they say the Sith won, it creates too many plot holes and asks even more questions.How long did they control the galaxy? How did the republic come back? When was that war? Was it a war? Etc.... The whole point of this game is the war between the republic and the Sith. Someone would have to win for it to conclude. And you never end anything in an MMO. MMOs dont have endings. They just continue on.
