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

My computer is a BEAST, And it never takes more than a minute to load anything. The biggest issues I have center around 2 things.

1. There's only ONE wookiee in the entire game who's a companion, And he can't use the bowcaster! REALLY? REALLY? REALLY?

2. The fact that there's no support for joysticks/controllers for GSF!

And both of these can be fixed by adding a wookiee companion who's a ranged weapon specialist, and ADDING JOYSTICK/CONTROLLER SUPPORT TO GSF.

My only qualm is Sentinels not getting Force Push/Pull abilities. Can it be fixed? Possibly, but it could cause balance issues. Either way, I'm pretty happy with the state of the game so far.

The time for lads and re-loggings are dreadful for me as well, but I am playing on an old machine.

1. Endless re-equipping of the character. Many, many, many pieces that need many, many, many changes to them. (Sigh)

2. Heroic 4+ >>>> Heroic 2+ I understand the need to inspire and prod people to group, but still, gotta give a solo not super-player a chance to be a hero.

3. End of fight sounds from companions. Keep making me think a trap sprang up. Not a big deal, but constant irritant.

4. Melee fighting. The targeting is very hard. if a melee character would start walking towards a target automatically that would have been wonderful.

5. Female character content that was either dropped or never developed.
Sirs and Lords are annoying as hell throughout. Needs the genderless Jedi, Sith, Captain or the made-up titles more often.
Zenith and Tharan begging to be a JC's romantic conflict and awesome romances - and not there. In fact, every frigging female companion is a rom-op. And the best males ain't. Bio needs to grow a ...insert your choice of ladypart, mine started with V... .
No flirting options whatsoever for some female PC classes.
By whatever reason a lot of female questgivers/characters coming across as competent and male counterparts as complete idiots (Leen, I look at you; Riggs/Risha, etc).
Same with attractiveness. Game's full of supermodel quality female toons (including the wizened crones), but males are often ugly.
No cool alien choices for male companions (Nautolan, Zabrack, Torguta and Aric being the only ugly Cathar in the Galaxy)....

6. Some variety in class trees. It's kindda hard to figure out an efficient build to be honest. Save for copying off the net, I wish there was some way to explain the mechanics. maybe examine the fallen Elite players so you know why a toon 3 levels lower than you just mopped the floor with ye.

7. Companion kits. Really. Needed. because, there are too many companions for being able to see them on one play-through, and with no ability to save a game and having to equip each to run... 5 is just too too much.

Only 2 buzz kills for me.

1. The robes clipping through the speeder so that on certain mounts it looks like you have a mud-flap. That cosmetic eyes sore makes me rethink putting my Jedi in a long robe. Carrick's set FTW.

2. Those rare occasions when suddenly you can't target and enemy that is right in front of you or... in the worst case, it disappears from view although it is still there doing damage. This has happened with Ops Bosses. Yeah... that kills the mood.

Other than that, no other major buzz kills worth mentioning for me.

This is an MMORPG. Equipping your character is a big part of the game.

So run them when you are past the level. Most Heroic 2's can be run at Level +5 with a companion. Most Heroic 4's can be run at Level +7 to Level +10 (depending on the quest and your AC). If you're asking for them to be viable to solo players at the level they're offered.... No. That would be completely ignoring the point of the quests.

I don't know what you're talking about here. The sound of companions putting away blasters/sabers/techstuff? And since there are no traps like that in this game, I can only assume this is an association with a different game.

Again, I'm not sure what you're talking about here. The hardest part of melee targeting for me is that some targets are so close and so large, that Tab targetting (or other key-based targetting) is the only viable option. Good examples include trying to fight Elite sandpeople when they have a Bantha attacking you.

As for the walking...that would be a huge annoyance. I don't want my character to move unless I tell them.

"Sir" and "Lord" are gender neutral. There is a lore entry that even explains "sir", and "lord" is established lore of the universe: "The term "Sith Lord" generally encompassed members of both sexes..." (Wookieepedia)

What? Theran is a romance option. Are you complaining that there isn't some soap-opera romantic conflict with him and Zenith? None of the classes have that.

That's simply not true...

I am well aware that what may disrupt my playing pleasure might be the other's player heaven. You need not to argue the point from your personal experience, I have already accepted and acknowledged that everyone's different. The title of the thread was cast in non-argumentative terms, as expressing individual preference. That I did. I do not seek to argue. However, I would clarify some of my points, and leave it at that.

I am afraid you misunderstand my comment about H2+. H2+ are doable with a companion, so I would have liked a touch more of those. The H4+ seem to greatly outnumber H2+ on the planets I have visited so far.

Theran is a common misspell of Tharan's name. It is propagated a lot. There is already a conflict of personalities, actually, and well-done conflict. In fact, that's what makes me think that JC for a female was supposed to mirror SW set-up for a male with Tharan and Zenith being competitive RI (as Vette and Jaesa are). They have contrasting set of values and personality, both are uncannily good-looking, the writing and the voicing is strong for both. It feels like Valygar-Haer’Dalis’ production cut all over again. Perhaps because both men are relatively un-marriagable and Bio is all family-friendly even for a Jedi?

My female Sith Warrior did not have a single flirt till she's reached Malavai Quinn's in one of the class conversations and just harassed the guy by no apparent reasons (the dialogue till that point conveyed a lightly masked loathing if anything). I did not feel it was fun or at all interesting, but with no other options... I felt sad and railroaded (here, fem PC obligatory! Instead of 'we had a blast putting it in!). My Jedi Consular had maybe one flirting options until Tharan's chats came up. Then none again (till, I assume, we reach Iresso, then we can harass Iresso). My understanding is that JK's flirting is Doc, Doc, and a bit more Doc (just in case you didn't get enough Doc).

I understand that Sir and Lord is supposed to be gender-neutral, and spare use might be Okay, but it is way overused imo. It is sort of a gender neutral honorific, but not really.

TDM PvP, warzones and hutt ball (suck at that too) are easier to mask my weak play, I flat out suck at it and I wish we would could opt out of doing it or something. I feel like I am a detriment to the team and it's a low feeling holding back some people. At least with warzones and Hutt ball I can be more of a support player. Not really a buzz kill so to speak but makes me more hesitant to PvP.

I'm a average to below average DPS play, not bad at all at heals, but dps I am just average at best. Heroic 2's I can solo at level, provided my gear is up to date and I play smart. Use defensive cooldown, get out of fire, use CCs and interrupt. Last 4 toons to 55 were a Bounty Hunter, Sage, Warrior and Sorcerer, so I don't really think class makes much of a difference. Although was way easier on the ones with offheals.

Heroic 4 - Kind of hit and miss as some heroic 4's can be solo'ed at level with a stealth toon with CC's. However, by 3 to 4 levels above I find they boringly easy on any toon with offheals or a healer companion. Which with the little furball option is any toon now. Just have to make sure your characters gear is up dated and your companions gear is updated and play smart.

My buzz kill would be that they they need to increase the difficulty leveling so that people actually didn't have to solo heroics to test if they were playing their class properly. As far as I'm concern if I can do it 99.9% of the people playing can do it or better. My first toon at launch I died too many times to count. Now outside of operations and falling off stuff, I don't die or even feel the risk of dying unless I go into a heroic solo or attack something a few levels higher.

What I want is a stable build of game upto all classic content. It is highly possible to do so. Because there is no stable build of the game every time we get a maintenance we see something on classic worlds become broken; for example just last thursday i was on hoth with my Agent and i see someone complaining that he can't complete loremarr because half way through cave becomes exhaustion zone- again. and on top of that several quests on classic contents are still bugged and they can only be done through "work around" developed by players. These need to be addressed, the game is nearly 2 and half years old and it will be version 2.7 next tuesday; i think it is high time they create a stable version of classic content.

1. Not being able to select which WZ I am placed in. I get why it is the way it is, I just don't like it.

2. Robes/Capes clipping on certain speeders.

3. Can't queue for 50 Ops when I hit 55.

4. GSF targeting sucks. Yeah, I am terrible but this could have been alot better imo.
