hey, are you still running sales

i thought i would play more powertech this expansion but having spent all morning doing pvp, pyro at least and i think powertech/vanguard in general are weak as hell compared to other classes. we basically have no surviablity as dps minus a 25% damage reduction and a heal below 30% ability while msot if not all other classes in game have a much better defensive cooldowns. mercs is so powerful, why they didnt think to give us a new defensive cd i have no idea. not sure powertech/vanguard gonna be worth it for pvp at this rate. mercs are in a much better position.

trandoshans can speak basic. there problems in game stem from fact they cant where items on the hands and feet. (not to much of a problem given the togruta solution they did say may open up possibilites from some other asked for rqaces like rodians. the second and biggest problem with trandoshans are romances. would not work or be right to have trandoshan toon romancing someone. dont know how they could do it but they could bypass that issue by finding away to disable romance option for the species. how they could do that i have no idea. im no programmer but there has to be a way

I dont know if this has been suggested before but it would really be good idea if your added a vendor for cartel market packs that allowed you to trade a like for like item. for example you get the vented dualsaber but dont want it and need the vented lightsaber but got dualsaber in a pack. then you could trade it to the vendor for a bind on pickup version. thus preventing you from selling the traded item and getting it for personal use. my other suggestion is remvoe those pesky chance cubes they drop for to many. from 1 hypercrate i got 33 chance cubes. from second 38 and from 3rd 31 that took away some many chances of plat items from my pack. your gambling from the beggining buying a pack, adding an item to take away chances of better items by replacing that chance with another gambling is unfair

early 2015 for bw could mean as early as January or as late as april/may. But it really depends on a couple of things. firstly other than the nyc cantina tour podcast we have not had an official word from eric musco or anyone else about this. so im not entirely sure its even happening until a post from one of them does indeed confirm it or announce it. second thing would also be depending on when they started development on making it a playable species. most of the ground work is done as its in the game already but still have to make it into playable and customizable version

there is a flaw in your logic about companion gifts and lvling up on a budget. to get one companion to 10k affection via rank 1 and 2 gifts your looking at over 350k credits per character and that is excluding getting gifts for treek and hk

One thing I find missing from this consists of what you say about GF ops. Seeing as you now get bolstered in GF ops gear is really not an issue sure over geared people would prefer other over geared people or people at least geared for it but bolster essentially does that for you. what I think the issue really is is people joining GF ops without a clue what there doing not speaking up before and dying coz they don't no mechanics or just simply do not know there class prior to joining the the ops.

im delighted this appears to be next race coming. I always felt they should have been in at launch and will defo be changing some of my toons to tugruta. in a perfect world wookie would be next but that has no chance

agreed. the thing is they didn't even have to go into much detail. the could have just said a full annocuncement on the upcoming expansion has been delayed a couple of weeks but to here is a little info and at least given us the name of expansion. giving us the name wouldn't have hurt the process eric mentions unless there totally clueless and decide to change the name of it 2 days before launch ;p

are ashes still recruiting?

how about adding some new playable races to the game. you added cathar and from what I remember that was going to be the start of new species coming to the game once in awhile. so how about getting round to adding some. others can feel free to add they wants if not listed. races id like to see added. 1. Nautolans. (coolest race ever) 2. Kel-dor 3. kaleesh. 4. Gungans. (just kidding) seriously togruta. there the ones I want to see added. what does everyone else want added

thanks I read it earlier and I was thinking it was some way of. so decided to do the math and make a point ;p

also your maths is well of it is not $240 for 12 transfers. the best value cc you can buy is 5500 for $39.99 that gives you 3 transfers. at 1800 points per transfer if you round that of to 2000 per transfer you would get 2 transfers in that 5500 leaving you 1500 coins remaining deduct the 400 from rounding of that leaves you with 1900 coins allowing for a 3rd transfers with 100 coins left. 4x$40= $160 so in total its $160 to transfer 12 characters

lol $60 for all twelve. that would be like wow allowing you to transfer all your chars for $80. is $240 to steep for 12 chars not in my opinion no. would a different fee be better sure everyone wants things cheaper. wot I would have given to get my £1500 pc to be £700. the fact is nothing in this life is free and more and more each year things become more expensive. be greatful you have a fixed steady price that isn't going to increase further or be happy you don't have to buy the upcoming expansion this time round. seriously I do understand you put a lot into your characters but no1 is forcing you to transfer them ALL at the same time. why not do a couple build up some points with your allocation each month and transfer more over a period of time.

agreed. I find it funny people find so much to complain about with this game but here is further support that the transfer service bioware provide is both fair and reasonable. in the uk it costs £11.99 for 2400, that gives you one character transfer and still some coins left over. in wow a character transfer costs £15-20 even more to include a faction change or race change. now I know the op is going to say well this isn't wow blah blah blah. its still cheaper in swtor to transfer a char than it is in wow. and also.it is not free for them. they had to set up the transfer servers which takes time and man hours to do they have to moniter the transfers to make sure they go through in the order received and make sure things go off without problems and as a previous poster stated they have to have customer service reps available should something go wrong so that they can get to the bottom of the issue and fix it as soon as they can. to suggest this is all covered by a monthly fee is absurd. the monthly fee you pay at least before f2p was the right to use the servers to play the game and to use the service they provide, now with f2p that clearly changes that abit but considering how limited they are f2p players barely play for free to experiances the full game. heres a solution why transfer all in one go. I understand you have put a lot of time and effort into your characters aswell as money but do u really need them ALL at the same time, why not transfers 2-3 to start with gear up any that still need gearing and then in the future transfer a couple more?
