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

High Priority (Degree 1):[/U][/B]

- A customizable UI with third party add-on support. All healers (experienced healers) that I know cringe at the lack of a customizable UI. Click-to-heal made healing fun. Bioware MUST implement this.Ensure mouse-over heal support.
- Increase combat-responsiveness. Having a 1.5-3.0 second delay between the key stroke and the ability executing, even with a 50 ms connection, is UNACCEPTABLE. This game's combat feels incredibly dull, and clunky, and this is one of the reasons for it.
- Add a combat log. I will say this again. ADD A COMBAT LOG. IT IS A *MUST!* A combat log is needed for damage/healing/tank mitigation parses. If you are serious about having guilds progress in non-mediocre PvE content, these are essential.
- ADD TARGET OF TARGET into the game (not the alt +t toggle that isn’t really ToT.) Over-haul the UI in general.
- Fix bugs in general, but most importantly the ones pertaining to the mail system (where an item can be lost forever if the bug occurs.)
- Add FOCUS TARGETS.
- SERVER FORUMS. THIS IS A MUST TO ENSURE THAT A STRONG SERVER-COMMUNITY MANIFESTS ITSELF.
- A fix to optimization issues. Great machines are not running this game so great.
- A fix to delay issues that are not related to latency. People have "50 ms" latency and have a 3-4 second delay on select abilities.
- Improve your servers so that you do not have to create two separate instances for a mere 50 people in a SINGLE sub-zone. That is just asinine and removes the social/community atmosphere from the game. I bought an MMORPG, not a single-player Mass Effect RPG.
- Better customer support. Hire MORE people, HAND THEM a company policy book, and GET them helping people out. No excuse for not having enough people when you knew how much traffic there would be on launch day.

Add on support is vital for this game to continue, the lack of a "recount" type of add-on is game breaking because you really cant weed out the good from bad players, and additionally having no group (not just yourself) combat log is ludicrous, without the combat log you cannot tell what just wiped your raid and without a group wide combat log you really can't have any kind of peer review.

"Good" and "Bad" is based entirely on preference. The only way you can truly tell how bad a player is, is if they don't know how to play their class at all. Numbers and percentages have nothing to do with it.

This is why I don't support a "recount" in SWTOR, because then we'll get the elitists who won't run Flashpoints with other players because their DPS wasn't what they wanted.

I'm a WoW player, and I'm utterly disgusted with how dependent the players are on their high numbers. Just play the game and don't worry about that crap, is all I say.

so if two people with the same gear/class are doing vastly different dps like say 2k dps vs 1k dps, then thats ok? it's ok for someone to be doing half the amount of dps and getting carried?

I'm saying that it shouldn't matter.

Isnt it funny how many people want to save TOR from its death? Maybe all those people should first finish school, then go to college and then join a gaming company, I mean it seems like the world needs such talents, doesnt it?


On a more serious note, why change TOR into wow 2.0? Why change an existing game into something totally different in the first place? Whats the point of it? If people want to play a different game, why dont they just play that one?
