  1. You arent alone man. Im going to keep tabs on the game hoping that they manage to turn things around but I gotta say that putting all the bugs aside I do not care for the direction they are taking the game.
  2. The game is not dead but it is clearly on life support. I would not be suprised if they announced the closure of the servers within the next 2 years. I really feel like they are trying to move away from the old MMO expansion mentality and move even further towards a 100% live service experience where all future updates will be chopped up and drip fed to us over an extended period of time. Simultaneously introducing even more ridiculous gear grinds into the game to maximize the amount of time players need to spend in the game. Most likely will also see an increase in questionable monetization practices as they attempt to squeeze as much money out of this game as they can before finally shutting it down. I still have SOME hope that im wrong about this though and that the dev team will step up and do right by the community (An apology from the game director would be an acceptable first step) Personally I will not be coming back to the game until they have fixed 7.0 and im sure that im not alone in that.
  3. Whats the issue? Its going to get fixed.. are you upset because the csr wasnt able to predict the future?
  4. open a support ticket. posting in general discussion isnt going to help you
  5. Sadly it isnt even just a matter of bugs. Im not a fan of the way they implemented alot of these new systems and I dont see them being changed anytime soon. Biggest disappointment for me was actually the way they chose to implement combat styles and loudouts. That could have been so amazing if they just did it the way you would expect it to be done logically. I should be able to queue for all 3 roles for group finder content if I have access to a healer and tank role via combat styles. Not only did they not implement it this way they flat out removed dual role queuing completely so I cant queue as heals and dps or tank dps anymore. Loadouts also cant be changed during any group finder content. I mean outside of group content I literally never change my build so loadouts are basically useless for me. Dont even get me started on the new itemization. Honestly I would have let them off the hook for the absolutely pathetic amount of story content they added if they had just taken a more logical approach. Sadly the game just isnt for me this update.
  6. I agree flying mounts would be cool.. but theres just no way its going to happen. The current dev team can barely get a basic story "expansion" out in working order. Adding flying mounts would require a considerable redesign to the core of the game.
  7. Sadly Geforce now has a very limited number of supported games. Wish more publishers would utilize it but since geforce now is taking advantage of stores like steam instead of forcing users to buy the game again on their own service the odds of this changing anytime soon are slim. It is a nifty service that works surprisingly well if you have a decent connection. Far better than any other streaming platform available on the market now at least in terms of the hardware available to users.
  8. Unless they have changed something im like 90% sure it actually is retroactive.
  9. itemization in general for 7.0 is awful. As with everything else in this update they missed the mark by miles.
  10. https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=1004912 Level scaling in general is pretty much broken right now. Why alot of lower level content feels alot harder than intended. You can basically just ignore Lord ive already explained this to him in another thread and he basically chose to ignore the part where I quoted the devs telling us companions and some character stats are not functioning correctly. This is also likely why the green set feels so unbelievably weak.
  11. Reposting this for the people who have (clearly) not read the level sync update. https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=1004912
  12. Not to kill anyones hopes but its looking like this game may have actually been canceled. At the very least severely delayed. https://cosmicbook.news/star-wars-eclipse-likely-canceled
  13. Im not gonna sit here and defend a game that has very serious issues. In fact I wouldnt even be here if 7.0 were a decent update. They have broken so many systems and just screwed up on basic implementations of the new ones. - Itemization the CORE of endgame has been turned into an absolute grindy joke taking weeks of grinding content that I dont even want to play to hit cap - Removal of mods from endgame completely kills any kind of real build variability - Combat styles which was one of the systems I was REALLY looking forward to doesnt even work for any group finder content. Cant swap loadouts either. Also with the addition of this system I was expecting that I would finally be able to queue for all 3 roles on a single toon. not only did they not make this logical implementation they completely REMOVED the ability to dual queue as heals/dps or tank/dps - Companions are literally broken right now. You are either blind or running the literal easiest solo content available in the game if you havent noticed this. -To top it all off cartel weapons that people spent REAL MONEY on cannot even be used in endgame currently due to the removal of mods and we now have to wait for them to release weapon outfitter which is coming out when? weeks? Months? It should have been included with the expansion to avoid this scenario So yes im a little bit PISSED OFF about it and im going to continue to complain about it until the devs fix it. You can sit there and tell me that im just hating on the game but I have been around since closed beta and I have never seen an expansion this bad. I do not think that I am being unreasonable in telling people that ask me if the game is worth playing that it is not worth playing in its current state. I think it would be disingenuous to tell them otherwise or to simply say find out for yourself. I also dont think its unreasonable to tell people who are NOT enjoying the update to pull their subscriptions. You are welcome to disagree with me but those are also your own BIASED opinions. Im not telling anyone that is currently enjoying the game to stop enjoying it. Im happy people are still having fun with it. Just dont expect me to change my tune until significant patches are released.
  14. Sorry but if someone asks me if swtor is worth playing im not going say that. Its just not fair to even let someone waste their time. If it were a new player that has literally never touched the game I would say for the class story only. Beyond that dont waste your time. I have a feeling if I let any of my friends that used to play this game download it they would likely no longer consider me a friend. But since you seem to feel so strongly about this I have to ask. What is it about 7.0 that is keeping you around? Do you honestly feel like this expansion added anything of value and per the topic do you feel that this patch is actually alt friendly? Do you think that this was an improvement over 6.0?
  15. Yeah ill just lie and be like yeah you know the game is probably fine definitely waste your time downloading it and enjoy spending weeks grinding for an objectively worse game. This guy you know you arent helping the game at all by trying to defend this right? You arent going to change anyones mind. Im happy your still enjoying the game. Thousands of other players are not. Dont believe me? Go read some of the stickied feedback threads. Literally page after page of players airing their concerns. The dev team has a very REAL problem here that needs to be addressed if they want this game to survive. I can assure you that this is going to have tangible effects going forward in terms of real content drops. Why in gods name do you think that anyone would recommend this game to ANYONE let alone friends in its current state :confused:
