Fair enough ill give you that point, either way its sloppy handling on their part

Almost makes it worse not ill do my grind and hope and pray it does not bug...until the real fix that is

I agree...there are WAY more lil nit pick things out there. But all of this put together really screws a game up.

The thing is you guys are making mountains of effectively nothing. Even when combined, it's sitll effectively nothing. Let's take RIFT which launched with alot more QOL features than this game did. Sooo tell me why didn't RIFT take off? It's a great game, if swtor wasn't out I'd be all over. SO why hasn't RIFT taken off? It has UI, mods, dungeon finder. In the end QOL features come with time but they make little difference to the overall enjoyment of the product.

It has not taken off because BW is a masterful Dev when it comes to story and immersion, this game has a personality and it really draws you in.

The problem is that one big draw it has no longer sticks around at 50 since all mmo's have an element of grind and I accept that.

But that does not give them a free ticket to deliver a unpolished product....the game feels raw it has all these missing basic elements which are either not working or not in at all.

But the small things just killed my will to play, this game 1-49 was amazing and I brought over 3 of my friends to play it we all loved it.

But here is a short list of what I hope gets fixed because as of now I cant bring myself to play it.

1. Snap back camera for the love of god why cant it be an option, I feel like a horse

2. Auto zoom, why is it that my zoom settings reset every time? Its awesome I can zoom out but why zoom me back in, when I choose my setting that should be my default.

3. WINS NOT COUNTING..I was so excited to see the fix only to see my WZ win not count. Now I consider myself reasonable and im down to getting steam rolled as I get gear its part of the process but when my win does not count it knocks the wind out of me.

4. Bag loot system which is compounded with wins not counting. I just did a hell of grind open my bags and ta-dah! coms....

5. Ilum..nuff said

6. Ability Delay, the fix really did not help anything and looking at how WZ win bug was "fixed" I would bet nothing was really done here either.

7. Load screens and space stations, just let me get to my destination! or make my fleet pass something like 30 mins.

8. GTN, just a mess of a system having to go through a series of filters just to find and post what you need.

9. The game CHUGS, its like a very talented fat boy playing soccer he has the skills but wow is he slow. ( I have a very decent system in fact got this new rig specifically for swtor)

10. Targeting...its slow its not responsive its painful...it just plain sucks

These are the major annoyances I have with this game and I wanted to love it but the more I logged in the less I wanted to play it.

seems most of your issues are rather minor ones. not game breaking ones atleast not for me. Now sure why your rig chuggs if you built it just for this game. There are plenty of people playing on older systems who do not have issues.
Now Minsc is in charge SWORDS FOR EVERYONE!

I know right! People seem to get defensive when we critique the small things. There are just so many small things that other MMO's have and this one doesnt, it makes no sense to me. Given the budget and the team behind this, some things should have been done. Free camera options are a staple of MMO's, how did this get missed?

If they want to be open and honest about whats coming in the future, i personally think they should make a massive list of stuff that is coming. this could be of all the little things that are coming. They have already said they have seperate team working on fixes and working on new content. Let hear about that new content to guys, maybe that will reassure some of us.

To me its the little things which makes a game go from good to great and its those little things that smooth out the process of a general grind.

No way that is exactly the cause of this mess . They should have launched in 2011 march .
The time when cata was all low , people didn't had LFR Finder , and Trion didn't squash the bugs yet .

Sorry then the wonderfull fixes would have effect , but we are now in 2012 , and people going to compare companies and resolutions and fixes .
Yeah they have to work very hard and catching a lot of **** , but they should have worked hard and catching a lot of **** before , or have capped the game at 30 period, and slowly release content each month .

If that's the case then I think its fair to give them time to get their act together for raiding. Blizzard literally had ZERO experience crafting one of these games on release, in fact I literally could not log onto the game. SWTOR is miles ahead and the "curve" will be alot less.
