  1. buy two for 60 seconds seriously, this game *&cks sometimes
  2. So the current run away leader by a huge margin is more class story, pretty much the one thing they have repeatedly said they will not do and tried to say that the faction based story we saw on Makeb will be the ay forward. I know this poll is people on the forum, so its not a representative population but thats a very large win for class story. So EA/BW's stance on this if they do choose to comment has got to be explained more. I think lots of people would be happy to pay for more story, but perhaps the forums poulation is completely out of line with the in game population? So EA/BW shoudl maybe consider actually asking some of these questions of its current players in game. I've enjoyed most aspects of this game but its a disapointment in every area, the story does stand out as the best part but its a linear meaningless rendition with no real chance to influence who you are, that said I enjoyed each class story Ive played. I honestly feel like the game is very much in minimal maintance mode but with enough spin, fluff and baodging together of things to make it look better than it is. Its two years in and there shoudl be talk of a major expansion, not a 5 level hike with a planet worth 3 levels or a PvP space game (not bad, but I think when people say space they want PvE and PvP), a major expansion that takes everything forward. I get tired of the bust-a-move FP/OPs for gear to do the next level of the same thing, every MMO has some form of gear treadmil and they are usualy a good thing, but not the only thing. The new FP coming which adpats and has more randomised elements may proce to be a real saviour, hoping so If I were EA and Disney I would be working on how to rebuild this game and reuse its assets to portray the new Star Wars time line of the new movies next year, casting the current in game universe into the trash (where half the art work belongs) and hoping that as a combination of expansion and almost re-launch the game would get another chance and really grow rather than edge along the gradual decline against newer MMO properties. Not goong to happen I know.
  3. the simple version is actually PRO : someone wants it CON : someone else doesn't it's all personal opinion, anyone thinking its right or wrong is just silly at this point.
  4. good to hear but what is your source? I've seen nothing official, though I could quite easily have missed it
  5. do we know if its true 3d flight yet? I hear 'free flight' mentioned a lot, which I take a the opposite of 'on rails' but this game and engine are ground based (so far), does GS support roll, pitch, yaw or is it going to be some pseudo 3d?
  6. good god, how does EA keep snatching epic failure from the jaws of victory? these need to be given to the ops leader as he enters the op for free, it would have made more sense to add them to the marking mechanic but that ship sailed. What fish headed moron thought putting a useful game play enhancing feature into a gambling pack AND making it consumable was a good idea? this is a quick fix and a quick win for EA if they fix it of course
  7. can not understand how something this easy to fix still has not been fixed. I'd also like a matching flashy (did I get that right, the other class/quest reward pistol) in short, having classes that dual wield and NOT providing matching mainhand and offhand weapons is symptomatic of sloppy thoughtless development, however, its something that is trivial to fix. I would simply suggest adding a second gun to everyone who has one and is a dual wielding spec.
  8. These have been there for a long time, probably from launch or soon after. I suspect the reasons you didn't notice are 1) not much reason to look up 2) you might have blanked it as the pathetic immersion breaking thing it is to see the same ship pointlessly flying in a badly flown circle non stop! They really need to put a little effort into these things, its like seeing the same dozen NPC's on their knee's with a gun toting thug threatening to execute them, they never fight back they never get executed, you cant intervene. The game worlds are way way too static, the odd walking NPC or mind numbing 10 second repeating animation is all we get
  9. NO! they would be great to add into craft able sets but not for CM items, why on earth do you think its a good idea to add back in old items to the CM, its bad enough its the only source of new ones. Items that were once in game should only ever be put back as craft-able shells
  10. What false assumption would you have to make? There is a debate about AC class change, logically it can have two results; it happens, it does not (stays as it is now). My questions are simple enough and relevant to the debate. You choose to insult anyone with a differing opinion to your own, you choose to ignore relevant questions. I personally don't give a flying **** about your opinion other that to accept it is as valued as mine is by EA/BW. You do seem to think that by not engaging with the actual thread you are in some way strengthening your argument to not change the current system by adding an AC class change. You now seem to be posting only to tell me you are done, when clearly you are not. I can see there isn't a great deal of point continuing this, so I'll stop (and Im going to the pub for a drink) but in a straight vote everyone is equal, this isn't a democracy though so a vote may never be called. The status quo will prevail until change is brought about, until such time as EA/BW engage with this topic there probably isn't much more to say other than to allow everyone to express their opinion. the last word is yours, the next beer is mine, enjoy your evening
  11. I am sorry, where? You seem to be conflating your own opinion and its statement with logically deduced fact, but perhaps I have missed some nugget of wisdom somewhere in your debate. I'm having a lovely day thanks, how is yours going
  12. I haven't ignored anything yet, though I reserve the right to do so as you are. Are you going to answer the questions to just keep trotting out the same argument of 'I am right and you are wrong because I say so'? I'm curious as I was wondering why people would resort to insults against your such well reasoned debate.
  13. opinion offered as fact again, sorry. various games have offered class based changes in one form or another, but that isn't the point, if the future of a game was dictated by the past of a different game we would all be playing pong. Financially, sorry, neither of us is qualified to claim to be able to answer that, your hypothesis is that allowing an AC class change would result in less income (in a F2P game) due to lost, err what exactly? because people currently roll another toon of the same base class to level the other advanced class. I did this myself so I know people do, but I reject the notion that there is likely to be any significant loss of revenue as a result. Given the F2P and cash shop model now adopted its not unreasonable to think an AC class change would cost money, resulting in additional revenue. It may also result in people playing longer, spending more, rather than giving up on an AC they are not enjoying any more. Opinion, but valid, fact, certainly not! Are you going to answer the questions or are you running for public office?
  14. so anything the game said or says is to be taken as fixed in stone and cant change? I think you may find the real world of MMO games is not like this, never has been like this and never will be. Things change, either as a process of evolution (for want of a better word), maintenance or fixing things that are broken, additions of new things or the redesign and reimplementation of old things using a new mechanism. This game has changed through all of these and probably more a huge amount since it launched As you seem so keen to 'answer the question' answer two for the rest of us if you would. 1. How does another player changing their AC impact you in anyway at all? (let's ignore the fact that another player may just be upset about it for some, as yet undetermined medical reason) 2. What will you do if it is implemented?
