i would also like to add a couple of things.

on the bugs section u should include:

- Section X still has a bugged quest, i believe the name is: "March or the Dread Guard"

- "Sundering Strike" animation for the Jedi Knight is bugged

- Illium Map is bugged, the PvP area doesn't gets explored on the World Map, no matter how many times u enter, and walk trought it.

on companions:

- We shoudn't be forced to gift-spam them in order to gain enougth affection to advance on their conversations, something on this regard should be implemented.

- Not only the First companion should have a unique quest, each companion should have their story, and u should be able to help them; participate on it... not just get a fade to black screen when ur companions go on their so called "personal quest"

hope u get what i mean, am a bitt of a mess explaining things....

This comprehensive effort is commendable.

I will make an updated list of what i would like to add(with the links of the original threads explaining and expanding); some of the things i might mention might be already on the original post... i apologise if thats the case

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -MAX PRORITY: BUG FIXES
   

There is so many buggs in the game, many of them has been present since the very Beta, that is almost hard to believe they still around.... Sometimes it feels like if there is 1 dev working on bug fixes, 1 on expanding the stories, and 50 devs working on Cartel Market?

• Sector X still bugged since decades ago.
  
• Illium Map still broken(PvP area not geting explored no matter what)
  
• Not all Codex entries are unlockable(STILL)
  
• Taxis still flash all the time while ur siting on them and are traveying anywhere! quite an inmersion breaker!
  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. - New Tittles:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=572054
   

I think we all will agree on that there are so many posibilities for new unique tittles, that require little work to implement, and would bring so much diversity to the game, and add so much joy to simple tasks such as exploration, that it almost feels as an insult to us loyal subscribers the addition of new tittles into the cartel market shop.... Only focusing on the BROKEN CODEX there are 100s if not more of posibilities:

• Tittle for discovering all species
  
• Tittle for exploring the entire map of all planets
  
• Tittle for discovering all datacrons
  
• Tittle for discoring all codex entries
  
• and so on.. i think u get the idea
  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -Expand the Legacy System:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=516972
   
3. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=578572
   
4. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=548360
   

There is so much to add, fix, change and expand on the legacy, so many posibilities and oportunities; so much to work on...

I personally would re-desing it completly, making it more similar to the skill tree:

• For each level u gain on the legacy, u gain 5 legacy skill points.
  
• 5 skill points for each level X 20 levels = 100 legacy points in total.
  
• Each skill/perk would cost: 2 points the first tier, 3 points second tier, and finally 5 points last tier.
  
• With special avilities such as the Rocket Boost, HK series, "Legacy Datacrons", Repair and Mail Droids, Training Dummies and GTN Console costing from 5 to 20 legacy points, the ammount of points depending on wichone, making u spare for a while in order to gain them.
  
• Apart from those legacy point u would also require some small amount of money to unlock those more exclusive things mentioned above. The price should range from 50k-100K-200k-300k-500k depending on what. But still making it more open/avanible to all, contrary to the 500k, 1M,, 1.5M, 1M, 2.5M and 5M that some things cost right now(pretty damm expensive).
  
• Include many of the Cartel market items(specially Pets, Speeders and Armour Sets) to be legacy bound, in stead of bound on equip, why? cos we buy those items with our real money and use them on a character, but as soon as we start a new character those items have no longer any use.... this making us think twice in the first place if wether or not re-roll a new toon.
  
• Made datacrons into a legacy perk, as it was done with HK series, in my opinion gathering all datacrons is by far more tiresome and takes longer time than the HK missions.
  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -Implement a proper archivement system into the game:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=469844
   

The same way that with the tittles, if use the BROKEN CODEX, much can be done in this regard, this would solve many of the late-game problems of people getting boring and having nothing to do. Something similar to the [VEHICLE] quest but with more variation and not everything being focused on WB and OP Bosses.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -More flexivility regarding to weapon and classes:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=565554
   
3. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=206533
   

The current system is quite restrictive, making us basically chose our class regarding of what weapon we want to use, class choosing should not be based on that. While some things makes sence, like only Troppers being able to carry Heavy Cannons, and Snipers using Sniper Rifles, others make little to no sence, for instance Sentinels not being able to use only 1 lightsabre, Assasins being forced into a double bladed lightsabre, Bounty Hunters not being able to use Rifles. and so on....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -More Options regarding Companions:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=455813
   

The truth is we spend 90% of the game hanging around with them, be it because we like them or need them, the fact remains the same. Because of that, much more needs to be done with them:

• The option to kill them for example should be added back, with the addition of new companions to remplace old ones.
  
• More customizations
  
• Redesigning the affection generator, so that we are not forced to gift-spam them
  
• They should be visible in our taxy while traveling
  
• 2-Seats Speeders should be added so they can ride with us
  
• Secondary Companions should also have personals quest similar the the First Companion, not just fade to black screens after conversations
  
• The option to see what gear other peoples companions are wearing
  
• Companions should be made to feel more alive and less like robots, more dialogs, more animations.
  
• They should be able to interact with Mission items, such as ordering them to open a door, use a terminal, ect so they can fully remplace a human m8
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -More Options regarding character Customization
   

This has been asked for since so long ago, and so many times !!!

Both while on character creation:

• More face types
  
• More hair styles
  
• More Tattoo Options
  
• More Jewerly Options
  

And ingame:

• Barber shops
  
• Body shop(something to act like a gym, so u can change the type of body ur character has)
  
• Don't know if anybody here have ever heard or played APB, and APB Reloaded but hell, anythign similar to that, regarding character customization, would leave anybody spechless and more than satisfayed....
  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -More options and flexivility regarding armours:
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=541885
   

I think something in what most people will agree is that there is not enougth variety of good-looking clothes ingame, the end-game gear looks freaking ridiculous(seriosly cant be more ugly even if u try) There are not enought good looking Adaptible and/or Moddable gear around, so many people end up looking exact the same for most of the game. In stead of the devs spending so much time on adding the coolest Gear into the CM, they should add some ingame too, for those loyal subscribers who have been here for such hard/full of disapoitment year! Things we need:

• I think the biggest example of what we need is the Hood Up and Dawn option, that was been asked for since day 1!
  
• Adition of more good looking pieces of armour to the game, either loot rewards, quest rewards, for completing archivements or exploration. Make them Purple so that FTP have to pay extra to use them if u wish, i don't mind.... but we(subscribers) need fresh stuff in-game, not just at CM ...
  
• Armour Tynt, yes similar to unify color, but allowing us to choose what color!
  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -More Planets(and more content)
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=212256
   

It is said that the galaxy is the limit., well it feels quite limited right now :/ There is so many places we would love to visit and explore, even if they don't have any class-related quest, even if they are not related to the Republic-Empire Conflict in any way, it does not matters, we want to be there! Not every new content and place has to be relevant to the war, and u know it. Places like Yavin 4, Dantooine, Ryloth, Genosis, Naboo, Kashyyyk and so, so many more places that have already been featured on previous games, movies and comics, so much lore to expand around, the planets are almost already created from the art and style point of view, all u have to do is bring them to life into 3D !

Am sure 90% of the people would love to see any of those i mentioned in stead of Makeb.....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. -Proper Space Combat
   
2. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=145844&highlight=space+combat
   

GOD, we been asking for something to be implemented in this regard since the BETA! i do know that to make it happen it will take at least 1-2 Years, since the scale of making a "new 3d open space combat system" would be equal to the making a new game, but at least we deserve to know if its been working on, if its never gona happen or what, i MEAN WE WANT SOME INFO; we are tired of living in the DARK!

End game healers are extremely overpowered in pvp? Really?

You do realize that you don't even need to use your class interrupt to kill a healer in today's PvP environment, right? Two DPS will butcher two healers, if they use CC and interrupts. Heck, even without CC and interrupts, their damage could probably burn through a healer anyways.

The only time a healer becomes truly powerful is when coupled with a guard. Vice versa for tanks.

 

•PvP is unbalanced.

 

Melee tanks are underpowered and need a slight buff.

 

Shield generators should shield more against crits in my opinion. The concept of how shield generators work is a bit unrealistic. Shield chance shouldn't decrease with an attacker's critical rating. Shield generators having a chance to shield an attack makes no sense - it breaks lore; it should always shield, with the only variable being by how much. By making such a change tanks should be able to shield a bit more damage from those "mortal" crits. Also shield generators should be able to block a slight percentage of damage from kinetic damage sources.

 

End-game healers are extremely overpowered in PvP.

 

Maybe a system should be designed to treat heals coming from other players the same way as the CC resolve system does. If I saw corrently, It takes 4 very well geared DPS to take down 2 very well geared healers, otherwise they can stand there forever and just heal.

 

 

 

•The Huttball Warzone ball throw mechanics need a makeover. It is extremely hard to throw the ball from one platform to a higher platform and to some other areas so I propose a new mechanic to address this problem. Make it so that whenever your mouse cursor touches a friendly player and you use the ball toss ability that the ball automatically throws to their exact location only if they are in range.

 

 

 

•The game is too unrealistic in some areas.

 

 

For instance, take the faction fleets such as Carrick station and the Imperial equivalent; why are all 4 hangars on the fleets, named "Jedi Guardian Hangar," "Jedi Consular Hangar," "Smuggler Hangar," "Trooper Hangar?" Did Han Solo go "Hurry! Get back to our hangar; It must be this hangar because It says smuggler hangar!" ? What happens if an important civilian dignitary comes for a visit? Where would he land? I would personally like the hangar names to be code named, for example "Hangar Bay X31," and then subtitled below "(Jedi Knight Hangar.)

 

Another example is the expertise stat. During my SWTOR playtime, I have spent ages marveling at the story content, and have enjoyed myself in it. I have also enjoyed playing a huge amount of warzone matches because I am extremely fond of testing and developing my fighting skills. As a reward I got superb PvP gear which made me feel as if though I had really achieved something.

Unfortunately however, as I had soon found out, every operations and Hard Mode and Nightmare mode Flashpoint group turned me down to play with them because my gear which I had used in Warzones was inadequate. I immediately felt disappointed in the game because I had spent hundreds of hours developing my skills in Warzones and all of a sudden I was in a place where I couldn't participate in playing parts of the game because I simply do not have the correct "type" of gear, and it had become clear to me that skill no longer mattered.

This is one of my roughest proposals, but I propose that a special server be created where the expertise stat is removed from the game, and that different Warzone queues be made for people who have just reached level 50, and that another separate Warzone queue be made for the level 50s who have some of the best gear the game has to offer.

 

 

 

•Can't we have an SWG type space experience?

LAST UPDATED: (GMT 0) 2:09am; 31/12/2012

I am going to comment on the pvp side of things where as that is the main thing I participate in at end game. For melee tanks being underpowered I agree with this wholeheartedly, mainly this is because nowadays everyone is stacking 35% + crit and if you do not have a high crit it is because your main ability autocrits *cough* focus/rage juggs. This makes tanks less tanky and a burden to heal seriously on my jugg tank I have like 2 pocket healers because I put guard on them and keep them alive so in any give warzone ill recieve 300k healing whereas dps will receive around 50-100k. As a result of this dps end up dying more because they really are not a priority to heal unless they push out a consistent 600+ dps then you'll have them prioritized after the tank and healers. Ultimately I love to play tanks/healers and feel tanks need some stat love because in some cases its better to put on dps gear. For the fact that with tank gear you really cannot hurt a fly in competitive pvp.

As for healers being really overpowered in endgame...My suggestion to you would be level a sorcerer and see how OP you feel.

I have 2/3 healers at 50 in full wh/ewh and I only feel overpowered taking damage wise on my merc if i have a pocket guard. With sorc/sage its almost a necessity to either run bubble stun or have a pocket guard. It doesn't take gear to take out a healer nor a multitude of dps. It just takes one sent/mara becoming best buds with the enemy healer to make their life a living hell to the point where the become ineffective as a healer and are only healing themself. Operative/scoundrels though are a pain to kill and require you to cc lock them at 30% and take them out in 3 GCD's.

As for the huttball passing idea...Great idea! Razer is one step ahead of you though You can macro it if you have a naga mouse. Now I understand this a bit unpractical for a lot of gamers out their but I guarantee you it will be quicker than waiting for BW to implement a change. As for the space idea, I love it and really hope/wish this is their pet project for space. Although it may be to late sadly :'(

The only time a healer becomes truly powerful is when coupled with a guard. Vice versa for tanks.

I should have been more specific on the topic. I play top level PvP and as a result I get to deal with the most intricate and elaborate opponents. When a healer specifically a scoundrel and Mercenary becomes guarded on both teams and the dps is equal, then the healers will just stand there and heal forever and that's no fun. Also, the Scoundrels and Mercenaries often make the PvP world extremely frustrating because they can have incredible heals and an incredible ability to avoid CC. That is why I propose that a system similar to the CC system be introduced for healers. But their talent trees should also make some of their abilities deal significantly more damage to compensate.

Hi, can you please give me specific details of the bugs? Such as what exactly happens and when does it happen or does it always happen etc ...

-The weekly Mission on Section X: The prisioners leaders are bugged and cant be rescued. When this happens? always

-Illium map: its divided into 2 parts right?that the PvP area and the Questing area, so far so good, right?.. the problem is that no matter what u do, the pvp area does not gets recognised as explored, so when u open the world map the exagons are covering that area..... When this happens? always

-Sundering strike(jedi knight power): the animation is not what it used to be, it is completly different, i will try to find an old video of how ti used to look before and how it looks now, am not sure however if they decided to change it in any of the last patch or what, since last time i played JK was like 3 month ago, and before that only in the beta.... but of one thing am complettly sure: it deffinetly looks nothing like before. When this happens? always...

btw if u see a few comments above, i actually upgraded and expanded the previous list that u quoted.

When I find time I will do the weekly mission in section x to test the bug for myself just to make sure.

I will add the Ilum bug to the list but it is my understanding that Bioware will fix this soon.

I main a Jedi Knight, and unfortunately did not notice any changes though I may be wrong, if you can send me an old version of the animation then I may be able to add it to the suggestion list to be restored.

Last patch supposedly fixed the Section X bug, or at least it was said so, i haven't tested it out.

Bugs that i have experienced during one month of playing

1. SWTOR program crashes often, without any error message (once per three days). Sometimes, when i quit swtor correctly, it freezes, hangs - the task manager says swtor not responding.

2. Inspect function - very often happens, that i see my own gear or i see inspected player stats, but when i hover over them i see my values (crit rating...)

3. When i join ops in progress, insta-travel doesnt work, when i get to the ops by leagacy fleet ability, it says to reset my active phase (happened to me like 4times)

4. When i join ops or group, when i am in story mode area - i get stuck in mid air, mobs attacking me from melee range, but when i want to attack back it says out of range (happened to me twice)

5. Sound will just go off ( and i dont accidentaly pres ctrl+s), usually happens to me during space missions, but it happened during questing too.

6. Some flahspoints bugs, like force leaping to robot boss at esselss, droping through texture to the bottom of the platform the boss stands on. Cadenimu, jumping on descending elevator, you will fall through it to the bottom - these are like 1 year old bugs.

7. Server issues ,when lag spikes to 40k ms - thats like 40 seconds lag - *** ? I am not talking about WZs, but it mostly occures in WZs.

8. The animation of your ability is triggered, but no CD starts - no effect of the ability.

9. Lags in WZs, when you want to time your defensive CD right. Well its better to press that defensive ability 1-2 seconds earlier, because it doesnt register it on time. You can observe this when you are going to die. You are practically death, but you still appear standing for 1-2 seconds. The same thing with your companions - you need to click at least twice on a gather node to compel your companion to action.

10. Whats the rule of out of combat ? No DOTs on me, no enemy near and still waiting to go out of combat for 20 seconds ? Sometimes it will drop you out of combat, right away after u kill someone or after you run from him.

11. Switching off companions stance, when you dissmiss him or send him on mission. Sometimes mounting on a ride,when companion is active and then engaging in combat short after results in fighting alone, without your companion.

12. Random flaspoints ops bugs like KAON, raghoul boss - cannot be killed, because the barrel debuff wont apply, TFB last boss - tank touched a wall and was insta-killed...

13. In ops in progress, one of team mates left - couldnt join LFG, after two more left, suddenly i could put us in LFG.

14. Increase the volume of sound effect for whispers and finding a ops/flashpoint. What i do now, is to decrease the volume of everything except master and set FX volume to 100 and max. windows sound and volume on reproductors - still not enough. Also i noticed that, when you have swtor in backround

(with background sound on) you can only hear mail received, crew mission complete... - but no flashpoint/ops found.

15. Lightsabers doesnt sheathe properly following with annoying vibrant sound.

16. Sometimes the whole head of my character disappears.

17. Once in ops EV, the boss in lava lake, in mid phase i couldnt move or jump forward, i still could move backwards - it wasnt a connection or lag issue.

18. Companions stupid ai - breaking cc with their aoe, healing themselfs first then you...

.... I dont rememebr all of them. These are some, that comes to my mind right away.

Suggestions for improvemnet

Take the good stuff from other mmo´s - its not copycatting, when you dont have original ideas. Certainly it would make players experience better. Dont having a LFG at the start - *** ? Is that original - oh, yes - but in a bad way.

1. ready check for groups and ops

2. LFG accessible all ops at the start, not only EV and KP story mode. Interserver flashpoints, ops - sometimes its impossible to find ops in timely manner (WZs are fine)

3. You can reverse engineer whole stacks of items, but you cannot give stack of gifts to your companion. Also option to divide stack of 10 into 5x2 or 10x1 easily would be appreciated.

4. At least two sets of skill builds, with own taskbars, with own gear setups.

5. Birthright legacy items should scale with level of the wearer.

6. Make the suggested buyout price for items selling on GTN update from time to time or let it remember the last buyout price you set for that same item.

7. Allow addons, online armory....

8. When you create a new character, keep the interface settings and keybinds setting from previous one.

9. Make or upgrade current cartel item trainer to teach crew skills also.

10. The world pvp has no rewards. has no meaning.

....

Bugs that i have experienced during one month of playing....

Hi, thanks for this info. Many of these bugs are only temporary but many I remember have been here since beta and I will add them to the list. I will also add your suggestions.

To bug number 5, does that mean ALL sound will go off?

To bugs number 7, 8 and 9, that is all due to lag from your side. I live in Australia and the same thing happened to me when I still played on the US servers.

To bug number 13, how many people were in your ops group before anyone left, and how many people were in your ops group before you could join the group finder again?

I think they already announced a ready check for patch 1.7 or 1.8, and I think they also announced an inventory improvement.

LAST UPDATED: (GMT 0) 6:10am; 27/1/2013

Sure, thanks.

To bug number 5, does that mean ALL sound will go off?

Yes, whole sound will go off - usually it goes back after i finish the space mission.

To bugs number 7, 8 and 9, that is all due to lag from your side. I live in Australia and the same thing happened to me when I still played on the US servers.

I dont really think this is lag from my side, It must be from their side - i played many online games, many mmo games and i have stable internet connection with good ping - i very rarely experience latency spikes in online games. But in SWTOR its very often.

I am from Slovakia, i play on europe server Tomb of Freedon Nadd. I have stable ping around 60 ms not 2000 ms, which would explain the 2 second lag in WZs.

To bug number 13, how many people were in your ops group before anyone left, and how many people were in your ops group before you could join the group finder again?

It was a full ops of 8 ppl, we were in KP sm - one left, i told ops leader to put us in LFG - he couldnt, so he promoted me to ops leader and i couldnt put us in LFG also, then another 2 ppl left and then the red text appeared "You can put your ops in LFG" or something similar, i tried it and it suddenly worked (but it was too late, ofcourse)

I think they already announced a ready check for patch 1.7 or 1.8, and I think they also announced an inventory improvement.

Its too late for such small improvement. And why the hell is inspecting other ppl not working properly - if they cant do this right, i wonder, what else they cant do.

Recent patch from 23th - they did some change in Taral V; next day, we were in Taral V hard mode and we couldnt finish it, because the doors behind us and in fornt of us just locked, without possibility to open them - they supposedly fixed that in minor patch from 25th - but it shouldnt happen in a first place.

I really doubt that the same developers behind mass effect trilogy are behind this game also. I was content with other Bioware games, but this is pure nightmare.

Not everything should be made to bind to legacy, only substantially more than current; more specifically, lower types of gear such as Tionise, Colummi, Battlemaster etc ...

 

The thing with chat bubbles is that an option should be given so that anyone can toggle it on and off, that way those who don't want them, don't get them.

 

I moved chat bubbles to Low priority.

I don't think any set gear should be legacy.. That would also include black hole gear and all PVP gear that you use comms to get..

I really fail to see why anything should be legacy?? It just seems to promote laziness to me.. There is a reason the legacy gear so expensive.. You pay for the ability to move mods and things around.. I don't think just anything should be made legacy..

Datacrons needs to stay the way they are.. It is a part of leveling and a part of the game.. Jiust because you did it once doesn't mean all your characters should just get them without effort..

To use one of your own suggesstions.. You mentioned an achievement system?? If you do an achievement on one character, are all of your characters going to get the achievement?? Also collecting all the datacrons could also be an achievement...

You see, that is what you need to consider.. MMO's are about things to do.. Be it with one character or many.. Things that give us over all less to do is generally bad.. Especially if you want an achievement system.. I would love cheevo's in this game.. I am an old WOW player.. I hunted those things.. On all my toons.. Every toon has to do the cheevo to get it.. There shouldn't be anything that just gives something to an alt.. Be it gear or datacrons..

People are hear to play the game.. Not have it played for them.. If they they feel it is a waste of time to get all the datacrons.. Fine.. Don't... But you in no way should get all the bonus to stats unless you do... That is reserved for the people that took the time and effort to get them..

Let us not forget that this is NOT WOW. There should be significant differences, and it will be for the better.

The reason I think gear should be legacy is simply because it can be extremely hard to get OPS/Flashpoint gear if you often struggle to find queues like myself, or when you mainly play PvP or where you mainly play and care only about 1 character. This will solve my problem as I get very rare chances of gaining gear in the first place. I know that I am by far not the only person who has this problem.

This is one reason why I have recommended that companions be completely replaceable with human players - so that gaps in OPS groups can be filled faster so that I can have a shot at getting my gear.. But, until this happens I would prefer an alternate method of getting gear for my alts on a significantly more reliable basis.

I have been everywhere and done almost everything since the game was in beta. I no longer find it fun to get datacrons for my alternate toons, it is extremely time consuming and it holds very small rewards. And as such Id rather log on to play another game than to go through the lengthy effort of getting the same datarons again. That is why I suggested through an unlock that datacrons should become a server wide unlock for your toons. When the game becomes daunting and boring because you have done everything, that is when the game needs to play for you imo.

Achievements can be anything, if there was an achievement system, then I would of made an achievement where you have to personally collect the datacrons on ALL caharacters to get the achievement, not just one.

The major difference between other MMOS and SWTOR is that SWTOR has got a significantly larger single player aspect, and so more has to be done to meet single player expectations.

But see you just talked yourself out if.. You don't need legacy gear to get PVP gear.. If you do then you are just passing it from one character to another which exactly why we don't need legacy gear.. Again, being legacy isn't going to help you find a group.. So again, you want to pass it to another character because you don't want to earn it on the toon that needs it.. How does your other character find groups?? I thought finding a group was hard?? How is legacy gear going to fix this?? Like I said.. You just don't want to do the work on the your other character so you are demanding an easy way out.. Easy mode does not belong in an MMO.. Making things to easy is what kills many MMO's..

The 'This isn't WOW.' excuse is as lame as they come.. Many of the things you are asking for are from WOW.. There is simply no good reason to make all gear or set gear legacy... There simply isn't..

Allowing companions to truely take the place of a person enable the complaint you are making at the end.. Let's make it have a much larger single player aspect.. I thought we were trying to fix this and not make it worse.. It seems to me that you want to play an single player game and this game has to much of an MMO aspect for you.. So you are doing all you can to eliminate the need for other players.. Not to mention the need to quest, run pvp and run ops..

If you don't want to get the datacrons.. Fine don't... But that in no way should entitle you to just be given their bonus.. I worked for them.. I earned them.. On all of my characters.. Nobody should get them for free.. You could get on the internet and just hunt down the ones that actually help yout character.. That makes the job much easier and much faster..

The games becomes daunting?? Really?? Why?? Why on earth are you playing an MMO then?? I also have been playing this game since closed beta.. Notice the my sig.. The game is very much modeled and based on WOW.. So the comparison is very valid..

This is an MMO.. Not a single player game.. Anything that cuts out the group aspect of this game probably shouldn't be implemented as it go against the very point of this game.. Being an MMO..

Whoa whoa whoa now. Are you saying that a game set in a fictional universe a long time ago in a galaxy far far away is too UNrealistic?

 

You're absolutely right. What I want is to be reminded of the doldrums of everyday life while I play an escapist fantasy.

Man, I can't believe someone always says stuff like that. No point in explaining it another time though. Are you actually saying that as a joke?

In regards to the Twilek Lekku...

The Lekku should be pushed up over the chest when a hooded robe is equipped, rather than the Lekku being down the Twilek's way of the hood. It's just a suggestion but I'd never seen it before

Anyways I like your ideas.

Bioware, I urge you to take these into consideration.

I don't mean to be rude, but not only are you not making sense, while contradicting yourself, but you also appear to be unreasonably biased towards principles specific to WoW. For this reason I would ask that refrain from continuing this conversation because it will go nowhere.
