Signed Sorry to say, as much as I'm loving my subcription and my (so far) 5 characters right now, this announcement means I know the date I'm cancelling... ...the day after my 8th & final class story ends. "There is no Endgame, there is Class Story"

Seems to me we should rename this thread "No-one likes the Loot System for Groups"? I have to say, as a relative newcomer to MMO type games but a veteran of many other dungeon crawl loot-em-ups I first learnt the term "loot ninja" the hard way: in SWTOR by being accused of it myself! At the time it was a genuine mistake, i was still learning the rules of what kit I needed, let alone what "need" or "greed" was. I have to say, getting kicked from a group when I was so new to a game was a tough way to learn and that kind of reaction put me off grouping for MONTHS and nearly off the game altogether. All you guys getting an annoyed about "ninjas" need to remember we all gotta learn somewhere. I've had some better experiences since, and tbh I take the Easy Come Easy Go approach to all in this game now; there'll always be something better along in a minute. If I get no loot, so be it. Happens in single player too sometimes. My solutions: 1) Drop the buttons, the system allocates loot and gives the best to those who contribute most to a kill - thou for a Healer some credit for actually healing too! Nothing for players to grief about now... 2) New Player / Tutorial Group Content: we haven't all spent 15 years doing MMOs. Got to learn somewhere. In SWTOR its bad enough in Heroics. The idea of a Level 50 Operation scares me to death, even after having got one character to that level. I get the impression non-experts = not welcome?

Totally agree. This game is far too PVP focused like its the ultimate destination for all characters, but I find the whole concept tedious. At the very least I wish it was banished to PVP servers only instead of being all over PVE servers too, can't get away from it.

As with any item you can craft, if you reverse engineer it you get a 20% chance of finding the schematic for the improved version. RE regular items to find Prototype, RE enough Prototypes you'll get the Advanced schematic.

I've started a few classes and hope to do them all but have got furthest with Imperial Agent. I was interested in playing a non Sith servant of the empire, the story doesn't have the usual sense of being above the law you get as a force user or a freelance smuggler or bounty hunter. Instead you feel you're trying to keep ahead of ruthless masters who might kill you for any failure. The story grows from there, there are classic betrayals and double crosses like any good spy story. The way I play it, light side, my agent is slowly beginning to doubt she's on the right side at all, so I'm making more and more rogue decisions and this feels like its led to events in the story entirely of my own making. Classic Bioware.
