  1. I hardly post anything on the forums anymore. But I think it’s important that I post now to show support for the APAC community. Broadsword need to start listening to what the community is telling them. Get rid of the credit restrictions & open free transfers for all of APAC this week.
  2. @KeithKanneg you guys need to listen to what TrixxieTriss is saying here.
  3. Exactly. The devs should treat APAC players wanting to return home as if they were being merged back from the US servers. Which means we get to bring everything, like currencies, credits, gear, strongholds & including our guilds & guild ships for free.
  4. That only works if the devs also reduce the newly implemented credits sinks & price increases for repairs at the same exchange rate. If they aren’t willing to do that for APAC server, then they shouldn’t do it to the credits either. Otherwise that isn’t a fair exchange.
  5. I hardly ever post anymore. But I think this topic is important as an APAC player who lives in Australia to provide the devs feedback. Once I can transfer all my characters & items from the US servers, I won’t ever play on them again. Which makes transferring everything I own very important to me. I won’t be a happy camper if I am forced to leave stuff behind on the old servers, including credits. I’ve been a loyal subscriber since swtor launched on the original APAC servers. I only stopped subscribing for a total of 12 months in the 12 years of playing. I’ve spent at least $3000, if not $4000 on this game. And I believe EA, BioWare or Broadsword owe me the courtesy of transferring all my characters over for free because I was forced to transfer to the US & that includes my credits & everything else I’ve collected. Here’s hoping this info is still being read by @JackieKo
  6. Typical Bioware, blame the players and take no responsibility for their mistakes. What I want to know is why don’t they just bring back modded gear and admit this was a debacle.
  7. But at the same time drive away dedicated legacy players with their dumb changes. It’s an Excellent business model they have going. Especially when they get less new players than those they drive away. Seems like a winning formula for success and continued development of the game. At this rate they’ll need to merge servers again in 6 months so the game feels fuller.
  8. You missed the whole premise of the problem here, it’s not the players fault that Bioware have destroyed class balance or DPS output. The player shouldn’t be forced to swap combat styles or specs from what they are used to playing. The fault is purely Biowares for causing this when they were told months ago this would happen. So when you come into a thread and blame the player, you are defending Bioware’s poor design choices. Instead of telling the player it’s their fault or blaming them, try rewording your post as advice, while showing empathy for their situation and blame Bioware for the problem.
  9. I’ve seen 3 seperate gaming articles now and none of them paint 7.0 or the swtor Dev team in a good light. While some are better written than others, there is still a definite trend saying that 7.0 has a lot of problems and Bioware austin really dropped the ball. What I have seen is a big uptick of brand new influencers and streamers on Twitter. People who I’ve never heard about before and some are just starting the game for the first time. It makes me question if Bioware are paying these people to promote positive views in light of all the bad social media and gaming media reviews. The timing of their appearance seems too coincidental with Keith’s posts and these new Twitter influencers. It feels like Bioware are getting desperate and trying to plug a leaking ship. Which means things could be worse than we suspect. I’ve also seen that some swtor / Bioware staff have started to leave for other roles or other companies. Only a few at this point and I only know of ones who have announced new jobs on social media. I don’t know if that means anything or not. It’s just an observation.
  10. I decided to look more into the versions based on the Reddit poll After investigating more, I agree with your idea to start it in 3.x, but I would suggest the 3.3 version based on the patch notes. https://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/7222015/game-update-3.3-grand-togruta-celebration The Reddit post also suggests version 4.7.1 as an alternative and this is more interesting for me because of the Shroud of Memory chapter and the changes to CM or 4.7.3a which was the last patch before 5.0 debacle. Here’s the patch notes https://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/972016/game-update-4.7.1-shroud-memory
  11. It’s cause they spent all their development funds on reinventing the wheel for the thousandth time instead of putting it towards making content. A real mismanagement of this scale started at the top and trickles down.
  12. That maybe true or not. If it is true, that’s a management problem as much as anything. If you have an unmotivated workforce, its about motivating them or getting new people who can be motivated.
  13. If memory serves, he was on the original FF14 dev team and they moved him early in the development cycle once he’d laid out his vision and someone else took over. But the people who took over diverted too much from the plan or didn’t have the same vision and didn’t follow through. Don’t quote me on that, it’s been a few years since I watched the documentary.
  14. That’s not entirely true though because you came back to play 6.0. You’re posting history shows you were here for it.
