Hi, I just want to express my general feeling on how bioware managed the new commendations system. In the PTS forum several of us expressed and explained why it would be a VERY BAD IDEA to keep the weekly commendation limits as they were : - low of susbscriver will lose lots of commendations - the limit per week was way too low Now guess what.. after 3 week on patch 2, the patch 2.0.1 increase all limits : Planetary Commendations now have a maximum cap of 100 (up from 50). Classic Commendations now have a maximum cap of 1000 (up from 400). Classic Commendations no longer have a weekly cap. Basic Commendations now have a maximum cap of 1000 (up from 600). How many subscriber like me has lost "classic" commendations because you simply put hundreds of them into the bin ??? I have 8 characters , all 50s, all were at the max on Classic Commendations and I could not even buy a full gear because 800 was not enough after 2.0 was released. 8 characters = hundreds of classic Commendations that I could have used if you would have use your brain and listen to the community !!!! And don't tell me that I'm wrong, this patch just prove that I'm 200% right, I was one of the old subs who wrote that putting hundreds of "well earned" commendations into the bin will be a very bad idea + week limit would only be a invitation to play another game. It' s not about what I would have done with them, it's all about principles !!! For all people who have lost dozens and dozen commendations : SHAME OF YOU Bioware, you really managed this commendations conversion and limit the baddest possible way !!!!!!!

prompt answer ??? Well, 8 days.. that's not what I call a prompt answer. They had a prompt answer regarding the problemthat they tried to fixe with 2 patches on the 3 days following the 1.7 release. Even if they finally agree on the problem and made a nice commercial gesture, you cannot say it was a prompt answer. If you mixed all different thread which were about the "repair cost" problem , there were something like 180 / 200 pages, 1500 people who posted their opinions and 100 000 viewers... If EA had taken the same decision at 10% of all those figures it would have beenana prompt answer and reaction..but after 8 days sorry it's not.

I would like to thanks all people who whatever the reason supported all of us who claimed that the repair cost was way too high. All efforts in posting and explaining why we were upset, all the details we had to write to all guys who were just giving us great advises like "just die less or go grind more dailies"... Thanks to all guys who decided to cancel their subs (like me) as we understand and believe that MONEY is something which can also make them hear us. Have fun and take care all

Well.. they're looking at it.. ok but from where.. it seems they're way to far from the problem too do anything with it. Com'on, 1 week since they applied 1.7, we've reported the problem from day 1 !!!! How many hours did it take them to decide to apply all changes on the repair costs ?? only a few I'm sure. So instead of doing a "fall back" on those changes and rework on the formula and make tests before reapplying any changes.. they just leave the problem as it is.. people keep complaining, cancelling subs and they're looking at the problem... The worse part is that they want us to believe that ! They do no intent to change anything and are only saving time, hoping that people will stop posting here. You don't need a week of work to understand a problem which only took us few hours to see !!! It's the only company who leave a problem in a game while they're trying to understand what they did wrong ! Amateur is that word people would use to describe such behavior. I'm a true believer that everything in life has a price.. they'll certainly already see the bill with the "cancel subs". And if you think twice about the way they handle the problem and the lack of communication, I think it's just a suicide knowing that Neverwinter Online and The elder Scrolls Online are just at the corner... Anyway it's their game so they can do anything with it.. but ta the same time it's my time and my money and I can do whatever I want with them as well

@PoliteAssasin Yeah yeah mate, you got it right !! damn we just revealed the truth, wee doomed ! This guy, coming from nowhere, just came as a savior and saved us all guys !!! Several thread about the same "repair cost issue", hundreds of people reporting the same problem base don their own experience, hundreds of pages, dozens of subs cancelled... but we are all wrong, there is not problem at all. We can no all resubs and have fun again Thanks man !!! we all own you one !!! Now please take you mouse and go grind all daylies and leave us alone. If 2 or 3 guys report a problem and you don't experience it..ok they may be wrong. But if dozens and dozens report the same problem and you still don't experience it... well feel lucky and don't come here to claim that they're all wrong.

@ HugoBendtsen Don't worry mate, just do as many have done already :cancel your subs and we'll see how bioware will react. I don't have any confidence on Bioware anymore, they may work on the issue but despite several thread (hundreds of posts and dozens of thousand of view) since they applied 1.7 , Bioware applied 2 patches and never made any fall back regarding the repair cost. Others have already the same problem with all consequences on the community : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=597827&page=101

Just as an example , check the direct consequence of the last patch 1.7 and the "fixe repair cost" crap they implemented : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=599676 This issue has been already discussed in the long thread I posted.. but this thread is a new one..just another proof that they're wrong !

Man I feel for you.. several of us highlighted the fact that the actual repair cost will hurt the community beyond what they've expected. Why ? Simply because, except the fan boys or "no life" who think that it's ok to do every day daylies to cover repair cost : - nobody think it's fun to do repeatedly the same dailies every time you want to make FP or OPS, thus only to cover any wipe repair cost - it's a game = fun. once you need to do something boring for hours in order to do something fun..then something is wrong - less people will do FP or OPS in order to avoid wipes with unknown people (group finder) - more repair cost = people will save money = GTN people will make less money Several others reason.. read the Thred which has already 100 pages... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=597827&page=101 Just do as several has done.. Cancel your subs. Money is the only thing EA understand, believe me !

To all those who think that people with 63 pieces should have a higher repair cost : sorry but you're WRONG ! Why ? As simple as that : Daylies in section X, Black Hole or Ilum don't give you more money if you're in 61 or 63's compare to tionese or rakata. So why on earth do you think that it's fair to have bigger repair bills just because you have 63's ? it'll lead to the same problem that we're against... you 'll have to grind more than others just to cover your repair cost. Just make the thing simple : put a fix repair cost based on your level and that's it. More seriously... the only way to have it fair is if Bioware make all 61 and 63 pieces durability higher than any lower level pieces : so the higher your armor pieces the higher your durability.. and repair bill. But right now they don't make any difference, or if they do it's broken, on whatever armor pieces you have and all repair bills are way too high.

Windows 7 32bit and yeah SWTOR is crashing every 2/3 hours, most of the time during a loading process... Started just after 1.4. I crashed even faster if I switch to all my alt to check mails etc... once I stay on one in particular..usually on the first loading process FP, OPS, ship etc. the client crash. this game has way TOO MUCH USELESS LOADING process !! You cannot go to any planet without 3 or 4 loading prcoess.

Nice work !!! Now I'm curious to see what Bioware will do... they can still take the option to repair all the PVP and orange gear so they'll be at the same level as Tionese, Rakata, black holes etc. repair cost

So true !!! They applied 2 patches since the release of 1.7 and none of them changed anything. People highlighted the issue on the same night they released 1.7, 2 big thread was talking about the same problem.;they closed one Friday night when he reached +600 post and 25k views.. and the forum moderator asked to resume the debate here. People complaining and explaining in details why they're upset, several of us cancelled their subs as we understand that Bioware and EA will only understand 1 language : MONEY. How many time they had hundreds of post and thousand on views (and God knows how many subs cancellation) on a problem which is due to their last patch ? A professional way to handle it would have been to include a "emergency fall back patch" on whatever parameters they changed which created the repair cost problem. Once done, check what's went wrong on the formula or whatever and later on apply it again after having double check that everything is fine again. Instead we had a message Saturday saying that they're investigating the problem and... well... have a good week end guys.. we're off after a good and nice week at the office. Don't care if what's we applied impact your fun since Tuesday and for the entire week end. Be sure that we're looking at the problem during the week end ... what a joke.. Sorry to say it but you're just AMATEUR !

@Rata, Devs are only "actively investigating" the matter.. they have not agreed on any new bug nor that repair cost is too high. I for one only explained that whatever their conclusion, if the repair cost stay too high, they'll simply lose my subs fee. We all understood that you're a great guys, nice little fanboy and while we're all lazy. So don't stay here and go grind more money or go duo LI HM or whatever... com'on move now, don't stay here with lazy people.

I never DC due to my ISP.. of if I do it doesn't represent more than 5% of all my DC. 95% of the time it's due to the game !!! During a loading process the game would crash to the desktop...or sometime when I'm simply moving my alt. Few time the client, without any reasons, will log me off to the server selection screen. So YES 95% of the time it's due to the client so Bioware fault. It started after 1.4 if I remember well.. never had that before. And before you ask question, yes all my drivers are up to date !

yeah I saw that... they have not done anything regarding the repair cost. Anyway I was not expecting anything else from them... Neverwinter Online will be around in few weeks.. and then The Elder Scroll Online. I was ready to keep playing swtor..but the last patch and the repair cost problem definitely hit my patient and commitment on this game.
