Issue is still there, pressing space to skip the hyperspace sequence worked for me.

The actual game developers of SWTOR are like an elite army cursed with bad generals that make bad decisions ending in a swift and total defeat. Developers were crying when Dallas Dickinson and Richard Vogel were deathstar-ing their content. Who's crying now? I guess the players because in the end we are the biggest losers in all this.

SWTOR already contains a lot of gameplay elements from Mass Effect, to the point where its as much a mass effect online as a star wars online game. If nobody complained or got "offended" until now, adding even more mass effects elements wont change a thing.

I have been playing mmos for 12 years, and i only played wow for two months. A good mmo should not be all about endgame, and should not be a wow clone. A lesson that hopefully will be learned after the Rift and SWTOR failures.

OP, you assume that SWTOR going f2p has something to do with GW2 and with the community pushing for it. I think it just has to do with not enough subs to keep it profitable.

SWG was a sandbox but also a themepark. Actually it contained a lot more themepark elements than SWTOR does. The sad thing is that SWTOR fails even as a themepark, i mean seriously, just compare the Hutt palace in SWTOR with Jaba the HUtt's palace in SWG. Revamp the graphics in SWG and it will blow swtor out of the water even on the themepark front.

I have several crafting alts and i tested this across all of them and a fairly large number of items (412 to be exact). While on some characters i got a rate of 12% from 70ish items, on others i got rates of 36%. When i made the average across all of them it was 21.6% so actually better than the tooltip. I had bouts of needing to RE 12-15 items for a success, and that 2-3 times in a row, but also bouts of success from first or second try. Given a sufficient number of tries, the overall percentage is fairly accurate. Its irritating when you need to RE 15 items several time in a row to get a success, but thats the problem with RNG systems and that doesnt automatically mean the system is broken.

Very well written, i feel the same way. I wonder if the SWTOR writers really didnt know any better or they thought thats what Star Wars fans wanted? Still trying to recover from the shock of seeing a common sense post on these forums.

Very true but you are trying to talk sense into people that dont have any, its a waste of time. Im sure a lot of people are disappointed with what SWTOR is, the state of the servers proves it. I think SWG was a masterpiece, and i only played it after NGE. Its hard not be disappointed by SWTOR when coming from SWG, EQ2 and Vanguard. Sadly the time of good mmos is over, at least for now. Even EQ2 and Vanguard are being WoW-ified at least partially. One can speculate on the reasons for this situation forever, fact is this situation is here to stay at least in the near future. Complaining about it will only bring upon you the wrath of the eternally satisfied sheep. As for SWG 2 we know its not happening, but if i can fantasize, i would like a SWG with improved graphics, wouldnt need SWG2 then.

I noticed today that i failed green crew skill missions, several of them not one. I have two characters with maxed crew skill levels and failing green missions never happened to me before this patch. I wonder if this was intended, and if it was, why it isnt in the patch notes. The next patch they should change the name of crew skills to screw skills, to more accurately reflect their use and functionality.

I have a lvl 400 cybertech and i cant understand what you are talking about. What do you mean by tank mods, there are aim and strength tank companions, aim and strength tank classes, and as cybertech you can make both aim and strength mods, so whats the problem exactly?

My main is at lvl 400 underworld trading. Something very unusual happened today, i saw a mission for "underworld metals" on my list. Never seen that before so im worried my game is bugged. Did this happen to anyone else? Ok, seriously now, im just curious if they are even considering fixing this issue. Zoning to ship, relogging, sending five companions to do the luxury and gifts missions on the list, nothing works. The list is still full of gifts and fabrics with no metals and its exasperating.

I think they do "get it", most of them anyways. Their problem is that they dont want the devs to be spending resources on solo content because they dont solo. Its as simple as that. They are not stupid, just selfish. Lets suppose they "open" the endgame to soloists....how long before the soloists run out of content again? Not so long. The fact the endgame is not accessible for soloists is not the problem. The fact that there is not enough to do in this game is the problem. Its a very poorly designed mmo where there is virtually nothing outside of the main storyline: Housing, collections, alternate advancement, exploration, a large amount of quests, secrets and puzzles, item variety, all these things dont exist in this game. Even crafting doesnt really exist since its not a player activity, its a companion npc downtime.

200 million dollars is "financial restraints"? 200 mil and they didnt even bother to design two different layouts (not that it bothers me very much but just saying) I have one question: can you name anything in this game that would justify the huge budget invested in it? But back to your original question: there are too many things that i think are wrong with this game but right now im thinking why do we have to listen to the exact same mob shouts when they agro? For 50 bleeping levels we fighting the exact same mobs that make the exact same annoying sounds. I guess 200 mil budget restraint didnt allow for more variation. Not enough that the game is a minimalistic theme park, most the planets have recycled and reused landscapes, all spaceports are the same. They didnt mark the entrance to the shuttles on the map. Checking and comparing companion equipment and stats is a major pain. Your question was what is the most boneheaded thing in this game, my question is can you name something that is not boneheaded in this game.

The worst trolls are the fanboys and those are present in f2p and p2p alike.
