  1. Cancelled subscriptions here for the following reasons: -My SO has had consistent graphics issues with this game since launch with no end in sight. -Gameplay is not challenging at all. I had 5k CR at level 5 and it grew exponentially from there. I finished my first act at level 30 which shouldn't have been possible given the supposed difficulty of the quest. Engage me and make me work for something so I feel a sense of accomplishment. -Auction house limits are WAY too strict. If I want to list 200, 1000, 2000 auctions a day, I should be able to do so without any interference from Bioware as long as I stay within the ToS. Playing the AH is my favorite in-game pastime so this was a HUGE downer for me. -No macros/addon/combat log support. Seriously? You expect me, as a raid or guild leader, to bring 8 or 16 people into an Op without any way to judge who deserves to be there and who does not? I realize these things are now 'on the way' but it took you over a month to let us know that. This game should have NEVER launched without a combat log. Period. -FFS don't babysit me. I pay my $15/month like everyone else and if *I* decide that I want to be 'elitist' by limiting my groups to capable people, or play the AH, I should be able to do so (again, as long as I stay within the ToS). The beauty of MMOs is that they are living, breathing entities with living, breathing groups, economies and personalities. Stop interfering. -Your patches break more than they fix. And don't even get me started on the Action Bar fiasco. -Your Customer Service is ATROCIOUS. I can't emphasize this enough and this issue alone is enough to make me cancel as I refuse to support a game that doesn't support it's customers. -The disconnect and lack of communication between the SWTOR Community Team and the player base is even worse than the Customer Service. Your player base has been screaming for answers for over a month now and it seems that the Community Team will continue to stick their heads in the sand and hope we all go away. Well, apparently WE ARE. -In your eagerness to avoid comparisons to WoW, you've forgotten that Blizzard has standardized some MMO expectations that you should NOT have avoided. It seems that your developers have done things simply for the sake of being different from WoW. Instead of an LFD feature that ports us to flashpoints automatically, you give us...what? SIX !@#$%^& loading screens to get through in order to get to a FP? Are you serious? This game held so much promise. I suspect that if the Community Team had come out of their ivory tower from the very beginning and engaged the community, you wouldn't have the mass exodus that you are now facing. The majority of us knew we were headed into a barebones MMO that was just getting started...what we didn't count on was the complete lack of concern and communication from people who are EMPLOYED for the sole purpose of engaging the community and soliciting feedback. You say you're listening, Bioware, but you severely underestimate the power of communication and owning up to the deficiencies in your launch of the biggest game title in 10 years.
  2. I would count fishing as fun. It CAN be tedious but I spent many a happy hour fishing for the Sewer Rat, mount and achievements
  3. Oh good! After I posted I realized that I had never actually tried it before and wasn't sure it would work lol.
  4. WoW is two games in one really. You've got the leveling/dungeon grind but then you've got the level cap game, where you'll spend the majority of your time. If you're in a good guild on a good realm, you will never lack for things to do. Personal/Guild Achievements, PVP/Arenas, Raiding, crafting, AH gambling...pretty much a lot of stuff. Some people fall into the dungeon/raid grind but if you're interests are wider than that, you'll find plenty to keep you busy. As for the fishing that you're interested in, yes it's an excellent pasttime for a player who likes unstructured wandering and exploring (not to mention the achievements that go along with it). WoW is NOT a utopia though. Depending on what your interests are and how fast you burn through them, you could end up bored while waiting for a new content patch or expansion. If you're not careful, you could end up on a terrible realm and stuck in a guild that doesn't really match your goals or personality. But like ANY multiplayer game...YOU are the master of your destiny...not the game company. It's what YOU make of it.
  5. "I subscribed to SW: TOR and the only thing that works is this lousy t-shirt"
  6. You likely have zero problems because you aren't vigilant in your gameplay by making sure you take advantage of procs and cooldowns. Those of us that ARE vigilant find the UI changes to be hindering our gameplay.
  7. I'm going to agree wholeheartedly with this. Let the hivemind have access to the API so they can relieve some of the gamebreaking issues that you guys are creating.
  8. Aesthetics (and supposed seizures lol) aside, the new change disguises procs and cooldowns so much that you literally can't take your eyes off the UI. You shouldn't be asking us what we think of the new 'pretty lights'...the implementation is interfering with GAMEPLAY.
  9. Do you have any plans to acknowledge and fix your Customer Service issues?
  10. Yup that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks, Daemian!
  11. I'm looking for a site that has a feature similar to the Blue Tracker found on MMOC. Is there one?
  12. Please, for the love of all that's holy...NO. Cities and Fleets are dead already due to the way phasing works here. Don't make the mistake of making ships 'one stop shopping'.
  13. I think many of you here are misunderstanding the purpose of this summit (or perhaps *I* am). Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the purpose of this guild summit to provide an open dialogue between guild leaders and developers regarding issues that affect GUILDS and not overall gameplay? If that's the case, those of you who choose to remain guildless won't have much to contribute to this particular conversation.
  14. The jump mechanics took a bit of getting used to for me as well. I had to learn to jump BEFORE moving forward. Another piece of advice that I'll add along with stuff others have posted is to also take all of your equipment off when going for datacrons. Certain pieces of gear seem to interact negatively with environmental collision detection (my robes prevented me from getting a datacron in Coruscant last week...once I removed them, I was able to continue normally). Anyways, it's worth a shot.
