Bioware, You Want to Resuscitate This Game? Then Implement The Following.

NO quitely simply NO ... just because you want to turn this game into every other generic, crappy MMO out there doesn't mean that's what the silent majority wants. Specifically, the GTN is just fine! Honest to god, turning it into an Auction House will do horrible things to the economy and allow for more credit farming and more failure to loot node issues. If you don't like the price on something don't buy it. GTN works beautifully as a marketplace and not an acution house! The search features work just fine and dandy, oh wait you have to have some patience and intelligence to recognize that.

Sorry just because you don't like the game and are pissed off that Bioware didn't implement your allegedly fabulous and mandatory demands from beta, does not mean that the game is deeply flawed,

And dear god, PLEASE NO ADDONS BIOWARE! Honestly, if you need the crutch of addons to play this game or any other I pity you. Go play some other game! Universal PVP is awesome and unique and is definitely a positive feature for me. Don't like it, don't play it.

As for community managers, seriously why should they hire people to cater to those that whine and moan and complain? Just because you are the loudest, squeakiest wheel doesn't entitle you to preferential treatment. I rarely visit the forums because of posts like these and the flames that immediately follow whenever you post anything that supports the game and BW. Honestly, if anything I wish BW would scrub the forums of negative comments and whines so that actual players who enjoy the game could find answers and ask questions without fear of harassment.

As for the decline in sales, what did you expect the holiday season is over and the pre-release hype is concluded? LOL I'm quite sure Bioware is in a much better position to analyze their financial numbers and state of the game than you or some blog site with guess for sales.

Day and night cycle *cough cough*

The rest are great ideas as well.

This guy hit it dead on.

The only option I can elaborate further on off the top of my head is the camera features.

-allow detached (non angle locking) camera.

why?

-tanking a boss that requires movement, and spawning adds that require instant aggro pickup
-kiting
-more examples if needed I'm just too lazy to type them.

Agree with most of the post but this caught special attention. I enjoy playing a healer but won't with the present state of the interface.

Mouse-over targeting and a customizable UI are and absolute minimum for me!

Without out that I'll continue to dps to level cap and stick around until bored. (45 on my sorc now.) It is just painful trying to heal in this present state.

what are you guys talking about? this game is exactly like wow, all the way down to the damn tokens you get for boss kills

Actually I wouldn't mind a more greater serach criteria on the GTN. At the moment it's not an issue searching for things, but given time the GTN will fill up and trying to find that one hat amongst hundreds of shoes, gloves, robes, etc will become a real hassle. We'll have to see if the GTN really takes off first though.

I concur. I stopped playing wow for a reason.

Everyone should know Xugos is a liar and spreads misinformation. He claimed to be a full time tester, but then makes a thread asking if his computer can run the game. Knowing his foolishness he edits his post, but it was too late since someone quoted him. Of course this was all before the forum wipe.

We still have this thread created by him at mmo-champion:

I wasn't aware SWTOR died?

I both agree and disagree with some of your points. Graphical issues are VERY hard to nail down. Do you have any idea how many DXdiag logs these guys are sifting through just to find that needle in the haystack? I'm not saying it's excusable, but I am saying it takes time. Some of these issues in games don't manifest themselves until you have massive numbers playing (for example, the preview weekends, and EGA).

Things like the UI are very important to me personally. SWTOR IS a quality game, but overlay issues with the UI, unmovable raid frames that overlap an unmovable hotbar, no UI scaling, and the strict no addon stance are all unacceptable. The UI was reworked from the ground up because of player dislike, so I fail to see why this huge oversight in development occurred in the first place. Just give us the ability to unlock, and move UI frames (like LotRO) and I'll be happy.

This, however, I very much disagree with. I have few issues with agro management as a Juggernaut tank. While Omen, and even KTM back in the day were great tools, they were hardly necessary for a GOOD tank to do his job. Being a tank is about more than just surviving and holding agro. It's about keeping the group alive. Essentially, you're the yin to a healer's yang. I keep the group healed by taking their damage. Situational awareness, and the ability to judge MOB priority is a lost art among tanks these days, and we have Omen and KTM to thank for it. It's not hard to figure out what your group can handle, and what they cannot. Through proper MOB placement, proper ability/resource use, proper gearing, a high level of awareness, and COMMUNICATION, one can tank just fine.

A threat meter should be a comfort, nothing more.
