Your major SwToR buzz kills - and can they be fixed?

we all got em, the things that really grind our playing to a halt, or just cause us to alt-f4 or even /uninstall in frustration - some we can do nothing about, like that guy that's just being a jerk with his bad attitude and unpleasantness, but others, hmm, kinda need devs working on.

These are the sort of issues that are fixable, that really really get to you, no one is judging you for what really gets to you, because one thing may seem small to one player or one group of people but a huge issue amongst several others, suffice it to say, if it bothers you, you're not the only one it bothers, but can it be addressed?

Here is my major buzz kill:
1. Boring and long loading screens. - yes that's two, it's not just taht loading is long, it's boring, cos it's a picture, - and the thought of doing scneic missions taht take you all over the galaxy just loses its appeal, and it's nothing to do with the content or scenery of the lanet which i generally like, logging on for quick raids/flashpoints also gets un appealing, not ot mention, using many alts to make full use of my crew skills to equip new toons, if every time i have to spend literally hours lloading.. it's killing my game time, i once spent an hour just logging in and out of 7 toons to refresh crew skills and check GTN - an hour.

but the worse is when i just lose motivation for doing things like GSI / HK missions, world pvp zones and daily strings on e 1 toon that require moving from planet to planet. What addles me is the time i spend staring at a picture, i've seen that loading screen picture more than anything else.

2. zoming/portaling/turbolifting in.. when the screen goes blank, you get the picture come up. although the zone is perfectely loaded cos you saw it flash in, that picture comes up, and i mean it, it's once stayed there for nearly 5 mins, this was just using the turbo lift from class ships area to main level area on fleet. Worse is if i'm in an Op that requires portals, - you know 2bosses in DP for example - and then you're waiting for a picture to load beofr eyou can get toyour objective, my guild doesn't like taking me to progression content - and it has nothing to do with my skill.

3. Operations pugs that do not complete, leaving you stranded. gosh, what a waste of 1hr or 45 mins or however, can't something be done? once saved, a save point can be both a blessing and a curse, however ou're out of most groups that want a fresh run, and tbh, i wouldn't mind doing bosses i already killed if it meant going with a better group or trying my chances with a new one to complete. can they not organise the lockout system and make it such that you're locked out of loot if you've already killed a boss and been eligible for loot rol,e it means youc an go with any party at any stage, but if you do a boss that you had killed earlier in the same week, you are just not eligible for loot.

Can anything be done about it?
1. GIve ma cut-scene instead of picture - pls, just show the journey, it would make travelling from planet to planet for GSI missions, pvp, HK parts, dailies a pleasure rather than the bore, because i love how this game does convo scenes especially the new fly ins that have new planetary models and fleet models with ships or debris - that looks cool -- to see my toon enter a shuttle or transport, take off and see the aerial view of the planet as i fly into the sky, then seen fly out into the planet's orbit, jump to light speed, even throw in a view of the crew on the ship. during hyperspace transit. exit hyperspace at location, show ship flying into orbital station dock or down into planet, see aerial view of planet as it descends to space station or landing pad - would be TOTALLY AWESOME

it is a string of videos, you'd have to do one for each ship type used: i.e. do the scene - it is the same scene used for every one, but replace the ship models with the appropriate class or shuttle, and then do a fly in crew for each class ship and each shuttle class, and use them you dhave to have an aprpoach movie for each planet, one that shows ship going and ship coming, and also a docking movie..allthe orbital stations are thes ame that's easy, planets that have landings especialy daily aereas woud lhave to have one uniquely done for them. but it's worth it.

2. Find a way for legacy to solve the alt switching problems - give us an app that we cn manage a crew skills from and transfer items between our characters, you could even write a secondary program you can use on your phone/tablet or no you browser while the game is up, so you can be playing on one toon, and you can monitor /send items on another, this gives you something to do when all that loading is happening too, that saves time.

3. Can you not have way of wrning players at a quick glance if they're suitably geared for the operation? what you don't want to do is form aparty, then only be able to check up people when they're inside the ops, you need to know fast on inviteing whether the person is suitably geared by being able to inspect them and check achievments no matter where they are, so maybe removign the distance restriction on inspect and achievement monmitoring might help?

Usage of time is a critical issue, you wanna spend more time having fun and less time alt hopping for things like crew skills, it's not that having crew skills is bad, it's kinda nice having a system, i just don't want the system taking up so much time, and ways that can be helped is if i could manage my alt army more effectively.

anyway ,, that's mine, what's yours?

Not enough time to play.

Can it be fixed? Probably, but not until I can afford to retire...

Not enough character slots per server. Fortunately, it can be fixed.

The question is WHEN.

I love TOR my biggest issue (besides that a lot of the "updates" should have been in at launch) is that things just come too slowly.

If they would just bring me content faster id be very pleased as it is I get bored of the game quite quickly as im not the sort of person who considers grinding out the oricon story mission on my 7th alt "content" lol

But it is "content", not subject to interpretation. Whether it is worth pursuing over and over again, with different characters is a separate matter entirely.

once its been so long your running it for the 7th time it isnt fresh content.

It's content all the same, regardless of the fact it was released a decade ago or just yesterday.

Not being able to opt of out arenas when queing for regs.

I have no issues... well, none that aren't personal problems anyway. Chief among them is I don't have as much time to play as I would like.

OP, I believe your issues are personal problems too. 1 and 2 are basicly the same, maybe a better computer would help. I never see excessivly long load times and my computer is no powerhouse. I've even played on my nieces netbook and it runs tolerably well also without minutes long load screens. 3, other people, nothing anyone can do about that... maybe try to grow a thicker skin.

my major buzz kill: single story content for each faction
why?- Well simply because once i have done it with 1 pub and 1 imp i have no interest to do it again i left wow and other mmos like that behind because of it.

Can it be fixed?
Yes, they can either use all the cartell money they are getting to make more class story or at least add 1 or 2 unique missions to each class in these makeb like exp that way theirs a reason to go through it with every class.
