  1. That's exactly what I'm doing. My sub will expire in January as I am no longer renewing my subscriptions on either of my two accounts; don't think I will like the changes once they go live (hated the PTS), but I will at least be given the chance to try them out. I just want some type of classic server or some type of era specific servers.
  2. Canceled my sub on both of my accounts as well, one of which has been subbed nonstop since the game launched (even for about of year where I was not even playing, just occasionally logging in once every 2-3 months). It really is a shame that Bioware is chasing a hypothetical market that they will likely never be able to capitalize on and giving the middle finger to everyone currently playing the game. Even if they do initially gain new players, as has happened in the past, these new players will simply vanish after a few months and we will have a net loss of players. I just wish more people would actually take some action about these changes. Sure, you can voice your opinions in a forum all you want, but that accomplishes virtually nothing when the dev team flat out ignores it. More people need to unsubscribe so that maybe, just maybe, it hurts them enough to hopefully make them realize that they made a big mistake. And if the game dies because they do not want to fix this mistake, then the game dies; it will already be dead to me come 7.0. I may come back to this game at some point, but I highly doubt it. I lack the faith in Bioware's ability to make any good changes to this game once 7.0 goes live.
  3. A hood toggle option would be nice. In an ideal world, they'd create new models for hooded and hoodless versions of armor, but even if it would just simply remove the hood entirely, I'd be happy. Looking into it more, the mask in question did actually work with hoods in the past and they apparently removed it: http://i.imgur.com/IDcvBua.jpg.
  4. I just came back to the game a few weeks ago after a year long hiatus and decided to run through the storylines again. When I got to the inquisitor storyline and received the helmet mentioned above, I noticed it removed my hood. It's been a while since I've last played through the inquisitor story and used the helmet, but I seem to remember it working with a hood like in this picture: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/jedipedia/images/0/00/Kallig_-_lebend.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130212122242&path-prefix=de. Is this a bug or am I just remembering something that was never in the game to begin with? Assuming it's not a bug and it was in the game but later removed for whatever reason, could we have this option back?
  5. Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but does anyone else feel as if EA/Bioware should either make character transfers cheaper or free? Even if it was a deal with subscribers getting a discount, that would make me happy. I never liked the server, Satele Shan, and have always found it to be toxic. I know that this isn't something that could be removed from MMOs unless EA/Bioware started to police the game, but I feel that it's on a completely different level in this game. To top it all off, you have these people trying to debate politics with everyone (particularly liberals [also not trying to attack anyone who is liberal] who also try to spam the report button on people) and it just gets annoying. I also find that the community is not as large as Star Forge or Darth Malgus. If I had just one or two characters to transfer, I wouldn't mind the cc cost so much. However, I have over 30 characters on this server. Some could be deleted, but there are still about 15-20 characters that need to be moved. For 1500 cc per character though, I could never do that. Even if I did have that kind of money, it would take 2 months to move at least 20 characters, or if I were to move all 30, 3 months. It's ridiculous in my opinion. How about you?
  6. Okay, so assuming it has the QoL improvements included, maybe not make it true 1.0 something like 1.2 or 2.0, I don't think it is necessarily that bad of an idea. If you don't like it, it's as simple as not playing it. I just think this would be a look back for veterans who have played the game since launch. To address some of what phalzen said: 1) Strongholds - In my opinion, a waste of credits. It really is just another place to keep a mail box, cargo bay, etc. Other than that, there really is not much to it. 2) GSF - I was actually excited for GSF when it came out. I wasn't really impressed though. I haven't tried the queue lately, but last year (shortly before onslaught launched), I would rarely get a match. I don't think it is an entire loss. 3) Reputation - If you go between 1.0 and 2.0, reputation will be an option. 4) Legacy Gear - Something I don't necessarily see as a necessity, but if you're that serious about, BtL gear was added sometime in May 2012, so still between 1.0 and 2.0 5) Events - Not necessarily every event. I remember the rakghoul event was first added in 1.10. I believe the Gree event was also added sometime around 1.5 or 1.7. Sure, there are other events that would not be available, but again, this is meant to emulate 2011-2012 SWTOR, not 2020 SWTOR. 6) Newer ops were added in after launch between 1.0 and 2.0. 7) Flashpoints and PvP - Half of the fps doesn't seem right, but I can check again. With PvP, of course you're losing a lot of maps. This isn't supposed to be modern PvP though (which is quite **** iirc, which seems to be the sentiments of many people I've spoken to; feel free to disagree) , this is supposed to be 1.0 to 2.0 PvP. It all comes down to preference in the end. As I said above, if this were a thing, then you shouldn't play it. That goes for everything: Don't like it, don't play it. If it's just an extra server or something, you don't have to play it. I could go on and list reasons for why I think this should be a thing, but it's not worth it. Not only do you two have your minds made up, but EA/Bioware doesn't listen to their fan base. One other option out there though is to make era-specific servers. Keep the modern ones, but add new ones (or even bring some of the old ones back) that have the game set at different update periods.
  7. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think EA/Bioware should do what WoW did with classic servers. I've never played that game, but the idea sounds like what I would want. If there was a way to keep your current characters on their current servers, and then if you would like to, create new characters on the classic servers. It'd be the best of both worlds.
  8. I do agree that it is nice that I don't have to gear up my companions now and that I can take my favorite companions rather than someone meant for a specific role, I just really miss the old system. It just feels strange after four years of playing with Khem Val as a tank, that he now heals me. It destroys the immersion in my opinion. I see what you mean about getting an assault cannon with cunning when you are a trooper, which iirc used fortitude. While it makes it easier, I felt like it really made finding and/or crafting gear almost pointless. When I first started, I remembered having some toons crafting gear for others while on others, I would go out and try to get a certain piece of gear. In a way, I felt like it destroyed crafting and part of the in-game economy. Of course, there are other things doing this too, but I feel like when actually going out and crafting the gear yourself or going to do heroics and getting modifiable gear (gear that I actually miss because they usually looked good and were great due to the customization), for example, become nearly pointless, then it starts to affect everything. Again though, just my opinion.
  9. This is something that has been bugging me for some time now. I've been playing since the game first came out, and in the first few years, I enjoyed the game. I was on basically everyday, had an active guild, everything. As more and more changes started to come, I slowly started to pull away from the game. I also noticed many others doing the same. My once very active guild went from hundreds being on everyday to someone else logging on maybe once or twice a month. I recently just logged back on after about four years. The game is unrecognizable. I remember back in 2015 when Knight of the Fallen Empire was just being released. That brought me back into the game for a short while and I played through it, but just never really enjoyed it. That's not what I don't really like though. What I don't like are all the changes they made in this patch, such as level sync, choosing your companion's combat roles, turning cunning, fortitude, willpower, and strength into one mastery stat, all armor basically becoming adaptive armor now, etc. I hated them all. I also hated the new crafting system and skill tree. I used to have a crafting empire, but now, it doesn't seem to be worth it. And don't even get me started on the new character selection screen music. This is not the game I came to enjoy. Does anyone else feel the same? That they should revert to the old mechanics?
