Social X

Also I have to agree with the suggestion some people mentioned. I am sure some people were annoyed by these social items and I appreciate those who have come in and actually discussed rather than just say they are stupid I am happy they were removed. I think adding a simple box that defaults to on to make social items not effect you in a much better solution. But what do we know, we aren't bioware. We only play they game, we don't know what would be fun for us, only the developers know what we think is fun. I am very happy that bioware is around to tell me what is fun and what isn't fun. I thought the party bomb was great and had lots of fun using it, thank you bioware for letting me know I wasn't actually having fun. Standing around using my doublelaser emote while I wait for a WZ to pop is so much better than a dance party. I had many people ask me what the party bomb was and how to get it and how it was pretty cool. I have had exactly zero people ask me what to do to get the doublelaser emote.

my agent has seriously been in a depressed funk

first her giggle...now THIS?!
the fleet is so...cold... and barren... and... just... cold...
i used to throw up that thing every time we finished a boss in ops, or at the begining or WZs... or when i drunk dialed the fleet.... but now..nothing...

compaion dance is cute..but..dosen't cut it

The easiest solution to the party bomb and the party instigator is super simple.... make it only affect people in your party. See what I did there? play on words. But seriously, cant grief people if it only affects friends or party members

The party bomb and instigator were 1000 times less annoying than the giant land speeders parked on mail boxes, banks, npcs, elevator buttons etc. I would much rather see the instigator and bomb than those annoying vehicles any day. I have 3 of said annoying vehicles that I don't even use.

If you have an ability that allows you to force other characters into behaving in a way that they don't want, why would you think something of that order would last? It doesn't matter what tells you've received, it doesn't matter how you perceive it was taken. The fact remains, you forced people to do things they otherwise might not have done. RP or otherwise, it's an annoyance and should have never been coded.

There's a reason why the train bombs were eventually stomped by another ability, because the effect was boring, a nuisance, and pestered people against their will.

- Because similar items have been in other MMOs and lasted, too.
- Because it is fun, not just for the one with the item.
- Because if it were really considered too annoying, the auto-dance could have simply been removed from it, not the entire thing

That thing was annoying as hell and I'm more than glad that it's gone.

Similar items in other MMOs always resultes in the same discussion, and even if all your friends said they found it fun (wich doesn't even mean that they truely think it's fun, see the next point) and thus are no real reason pro.

Have you asked everyone about the item? And are you sure that everyone said the truth to you? Or maybe some of them simply hold back their true opinion, just to not ruin the fun for you? Social pressure is a "funny" thing, you know. I was often in the situation participating in some activities mainly "for the team". I'm not saying I didn't like it, but not for the activity as such, but because I like to do my part for a happy team.
Well, and as I already said, there must have been a reason for taking it out, and there must have been quite some numbers of ppl not being happy with these things for a company like Bioware to react to that, wich renders the "not just for the one with the item." part of your reason pretty obvious invalid.

I already agreed to that. I'd preferred an option under social, with wich you'd have to activate participating in things like the party bomb and even rally and similar things. This would have been the best solution to that issue imho.

I would make it only work in rest areas, and only work on people you have on friends list.

Interesting. I've seen much QQ on these forums but never anything about that
