indeed, it's turning into a mud fight now....

ok here is my 5 cents on this subject. I have 40 toons in total, 30 on EU based servers, 10 on US based servers. I'm not a completionist nor am i a pvp player. i on random occasions try out a SF match but thats it. I play with all my toons and they are each based on a certain space barbie style with gear matching and i play the story lines through with choises that reflects them. i have played all classes, all specs and done almost everything the game has to offer over the years, im a founder and collectors edition player. Now with all that said.... For PVE i have alot of "unused" abilities that i simply dont put on my toolbars simply because they have little or no function in PVE, i do however see how some of those abilities can be enacted through PVP since it makes sense to use them there. This is why we have different UI settings and a myriad of ways to go about them. All you need to do is simple save the UI for what purpose you are using it for and thus unused abilities will not show up filling out your toolbars with junk you never use. I am amazed that most of all these complaints are about abilities since every game evolves and this game certainly have over the years. ( they dumbed it down tons allready since launch ) but i dont see abilities being an issue about dumbing the game down really. What i do notice is the lack of new classes and bug fixes that are still in the game, lack of propper content that takes more than a measly 30 min to go through even without skipping cutscenes, game engine fixes that most of the players have been on about for years now, and for me this is the most important part, the ability to swap factions so if you start out as a light side on the rep side, you could join the imps on their side visiting the imp stations on planets and in space etc.( and not as the disfunctional saboteur i really dislike ) These changes are what would really make a HUGE difference in the game for me, not the pruning of abilities nor swapping class specs on the run, cause i dont see me doing that with all my toons, cause why should i ?? i have one of each class spec allready thus making this "update" unwanted for me.... If i wanted the ability to have 1 toon and play all specs with it, they should have implemented this change lightyears ago, not after so much time has passed by and with so many other things needed a caring hand in the game. This is a weak ffxiv class change attempt in my world and it comes way to late... Thats my 5 cents, like it or not. thats what i think about this change....

At first glance, this all seemed nice and thoughtfull, then i started to think about my 35+ toons... what will happen to them ? will all of them be the same as ffxiv have 1 toon for everything ? will all the armor sets and stuff i have for each different toon suddenly not matter anymore ? each toon is build unique with a space barbie style to reflect it etc. so is this to no avail ? im all for change and such, but like many others have stated, EA have a really wonky history when implementing changes to a game. For now time will give me a little better insight since alot of my thoughts are just that... thoughts, but im allready starting to panic abit about this change comming... "i feel a disturbance in the force!"

9999 bottle of beer on the wall 9999 bottles of beer if 1 of the bottles should happen to fall i drink the rest and s..t on the wall!

Topic kinda says it all. server darth malgus, and its happening with all the toons i log on for either instantly or after about 30 seconds.

Your last part kinda summons it up pretty well really... They cut the budget to the game, and then had to cut corners, 8 stories to 1 for all story, bug handling got even worse than it was from launch, content draugt that lasted to dang long and a skeleton crew that "didnt listen" to the players about what they wished for in the game cause they just didnt have the money to pull it off. Heck even the customer service was/is lousy. *looks at EA with evil eyes" So yeah this is what we now have, a HUUUGE mess of a story that has so many things wrong with them, only really suits one class and with no way out of the corner but to do a complette overhaul of the game and back to scratch ( which for me i wouldnt mind at all at this point )

could just make a quest line to swap factions, absolutly no need to swap skills or anything, its just switching from one side to the other. the real issue lies in you couldnt do it before around lvl 60 or just do it when you start up kotfe stuff since all quests are the same from that point on. (story wise it would just be the same really for the class, sorc becomes sage and sage becomes sorc. so its just a matter of a switch in the railroad tracks ( i know its no small feat to pull this off, but for frag sake, this is star wars... this SHOULD be something that is in the game, as well as you killing of your master to become lord etc etc, failing to become jedi gets you exiled or even banished, i mean this is what this whole religion thing evolves about but in this game we cant even walk on to unhollow/hallowed ground even if we did the saboteur quest... )

Just keep wispering idiotic things to him until he ignore you! stuff like, are u hawt ? u think i r sexay!? Dance baby daaaance !!!!! and just keep doing it over and over. I promise you, in the end he will leave you alone, and THEN you start stalking him with aaaaall your other toons !!! in the end, your ignore list will be smooth as a baby's bottom, but his will be full of all your toons and voila, he wont ever be a problem again xD

I have a suggestion about how guildships could work for pve/pvp purposes, but it would require alot of work on bw/ea's side ( if they where willing to do it ) 1: Guildships could be used to "push" a contending guild back in cq placing through spacebattles ( the winning ship would "steal" a certain amounts of cq points, thus giving the oppertunity for more guilds to co-op against the leading guild and thus share the won points between them ) resulting in the leading guild maybe getting knocked a place down on the list. alliances would be made and broken all over the place !!! ( this would be setup through an alarm system where the attacked guild would then get a high alert status having to break off whatever they are doing and be called into action for the battle ahead to take actions against the strikes. ) IT'S A TRAP !! Ofcourse some wrinkles would need to be sorted out with a system like this and remember this is just a rough outlining of my suggestion. 2: For pve we could use guildships for ops and such to fight through a planets defensive system ( spacestations, minefields and fighters and the likes) before venturing onto the planet itself ( this could "hurt" the guildships thus needing resources to repair them again before the next naval space combat started. ( having your guildship destroyed would thus require a considerable amount of resources to repair them again. This would also make use of alot of old crafting mats again and make some of the crafting skills much more usefull not to speak of the guild having to work abit more together for this to work. ) playerships could also enter these battles under the same condition as guildships with mats needed to repair them etc. suddenly "fleets" would be an actual thing and piracy and spacebattles and escaping them etc etc etc. things like this would make the game alot more interesting for every one playing in guilds and make alot of old stuff usefull again plus introducing new stuff into the game. And like i said earlyer, alot of work would have to be done to get things like this to work but imo it would be awsome if it could happen

I recently subbed again and this time after playing as pref; for a while i decided to go with the "dont expect anything at all" glasses on. What i found was that: 1: Dantooine was nothing new, just another daily area but the heroics are harder than usual ( i usualy solo them with squishy toons, but this time it took effort and planning ) and i liked that tbh. the daily area i get as well (not a fan of them tbh, but...), since its a new way to pass time ( "choose to do or dont do" feeder machine until next expac ) 2: There is little evolvement of the storyline what so ever and what there is, as usual, makes little or no sense in the small picture ( hoping it swings into a grandslam this time around but not holding my breath ) 3: whatever side you choose to follow again, does not really reflect in the story except for light side jedi choises it seems. The sabo line is right out silly atm and going evul/sith just seems bland and meeh. 4: i found that exploring is not something that you can do alot of any longer even with a new planet(s) its just small areas with nothing but reskins and a minor funny thing and thats it. What happened to having to find a nest on one planet and having to hatch it on another planet etc etc ? All the neat little details are just gone now and replaced with a daily feeder machine to pass time. ( i know its not expack stuff but come on, 2 new planets and they are done in 15 min with no reason to even explore a little bit.... might as well just make a square room with no decos and mobs comming at you in waves... ) 5: i'll give you guys credit for introducing new stuff faster than you did in the past and also for communicating more with the playerbase, but this will only get you so far when you just keep introducing the same stuff over and over with a different light shining on it. (show us that after anthem launched that you now have what it takes to turn this slowly sinking ship around and make it somewhat grand again ! ) 6: given that you had alot of time to listen to the players and "RNGesus" was moved away from the game ( does a happydance ), you sure talk alot about the future in streams and on the forums, but now is not the time for words... its time you show us with actions cause words just dont cut it any more. Here is to a brighter future and a better game ! Cheers. p.s. i still get booted to empty server lists pretty much every day and nothing i have done have helped to solve this. Ping plotter showed me its sometimes my side and sometimes your side that causing this. ( id say about 70/30 me being on the 30% due to bluetoothing and whatnot from my laptop ) so look into this pls

So i did cq last week with 4 toons, completted it and i only recieved the large yield rewards for 3 of them even though i hit the 15000 mark with all 4 of them. I moved on to write to customer service about this issue but what i got back was conflicting answers from the same guy and the issue is still not resolved. answer from the first post: 5/22/2019 - SWTOR CSR: Hello Esron, My name is S....l from Star Wars*tm*: The old republic*tm* Customer service and i have received your ticket conserning conquest rewards. We have received your ticket regarding conquest rewards as you are missing them being a SWTOR player myself i could totally relate how troublesome it could be. So as per the details, i researched on the account and wasable to locate the details regarding the rewards that they have allready been granted to you and i cant grant them from my end due to technical limitations. Thank you you for your patience and understanding while we investigated your issue, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Should you require further assistance with this or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Best regards, S....l Star wars*tm*: The old republic*tm* customer service Next post was from the same guy telling me that i had NOT achieved said goal for conquest and therefor could not get the reward... so 2 posts about the same issue on the same toon with 2 conflicting answers and still no conquest rewards....

Me and a guildie is trying to swap ref links atm, but no matter what i do i cant copy mine ( have to type it manually ) i cant use his and i cant update the site to see he used mine ( im taking his word on he is using it ) Anyone got any solutions for this cause its buggy as hell atm

I've just had my 6th chrash to an empty server list within 1 hour of play... made tickets about it, got the usual bs reply with "check drivers etc etc etc" and its not drivers, its not my hardware and its not my interwebz... been happening ever since 5.10 got here and im sick of it. This is the only game i have so many issues with and all i get is the usual bs answers from support. happy this is my last day as a sub....

1: Bigger budget and more devs 2: New game engine 3: Less bugs and quick fixes when they pop up 4: Grafik overhaul 5: all of the above before 6.0 *i wish i wish...*

i get what you are saying, i really do. but im not talking about the story in 5.10 or the gear issue, im talking about EVERYTHING in the history of swtor here, how EA has demolished everything good in this game, how they won the golden turd 2 years in a row, how they treated their customers in this game, how scamming is "allowed" ( in its own form of abuses ingame ), how bugs from launch and tickets are still running (i have 5 tickets from launch that has never been adresse plus i have been multicharged on my credit card a couple of times for one account and had to "prove" it was their mistake and not mine) how they screwed people over with missing cc, how they keep introducing bugs after bugs and leaves people hanging still taking their money and offering no or very little in return of compensation for the time spent waiting for them to fix things, how they paid people to give them "good rep" on medias when everthing was going to he.l etc etc. I could really go on forever about all these things, but ill just say that no company in the history of any mmo has done a worse job and no matter how hard we all ( yes i really do want them to do good with the game, i really do) try to tell them they need to fix things to get a propper game working and draw in more customers, they just keep ignore us and present lousy fixes and bad solutions time after time. so yes, im p.o'd about it now, as i've been before, and ill keep doing it until they either 1 fix their stuff or 2 hand over the game to another company that has an actual interrest in getting the game runing smoothly. or in worst case scenario 3 shut it off entirely
