Lol. Pics of a baby dressed as Endor Combat leia, coming up. PIC

Yessir. For that you get a cookie. *Hands over cookie* Thanks for the well wishes, guys. Lookin forward to being a daddy. Hoping to get some 1 on 1 time with update 1.2 before she gets here though. Might avoid legacy and just focus on the other stuff though. Mmm... new warzone...

Well SWTOR, it's been a blast... But I must leave you for a while. No... no don't cry. Look, hold on and just listen for a minute. You're great, SWTOR you really are. I like spending time with you, and I know you enjoy my company as well. I love your features and content. I love your pvp, your warzones, your ops... I love that you've recently changed to ranked tournaments. The overhaul of the crafting system you've recently been focused on is nothing short of amazing. *Sigh* ... it's just that... well. I've been seeing someone else. Don't get mad at me! You see TONS of other people! I'm allowed 1 at least! It's just that... well, she's pregnant. Nine months pregnant. Baby's gunna be out soon... so really, I'll only be able to spend time with you a few more times this month, if we're lucky. After that though... Diapers Bottles Midnight feedings. Playing with baby. Teaching baby how to use a lightsaber. Reading to the baby (I, Jedi - W00t) No sleep FOREVER So... Until little Evelyn can sleep through the night... I bid you adieu. With much Love, ~Jet

The team should follow this word for word, and implement it by 1.3. Seriously. /signed

Will we ever be able to have more than one companion active at a time? Worked well in KOTOR...

Yeah... Unfortunately I'm in a finished basement, and the possibility of a flood means I keep my pc at least a foot off the ground at all times. I'll be doing all my future repairs on the plastic storage bucket thing I use as a base. At least if the cat knocks it over there it wont crash to the floor -_-'

My cat (Benjamin, btw) has several unusual habits. He only drinks from the faucet, he climbs on your shoulders and wraps himself around you like a fricken... uh... Ysalamir. (+3 pts. for star wars nerdiness) And he also headbutts. HARD. He headbutted my pc, which was partially hanging off the side of my desk - which is actually just a repurposed high end-table, and due to my tv being fricken huge, I had to use the space as best I could. Typically, the PC sits on a plastic bucket, just beside the table. But i'd been working on it -_-' Bleh.

Please don't feed the trolls

Yeah, honestly the next thing on the list is a better vid card, though I really don't need an UBAR one to play SWTOR. This Radeon is a temp... spent all my money on ram xD

So... I cancelled my sub a while back. Not because I didn't enjoy the game, but because I couldn't play it on my 5 year old Emachine. Finally, after several weeks of scrounging the internet for the best deals, I build this awesome rig - Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge, 3.4 with a 3.8 turbo boost quad core CPU (OC'd to 4.1), a billion gigs of ddr3 ram (Actually 16 lol), and a (insanely cheap) Radeon HD 5450 GPU. So, I ASSEMBLE. All is well. My new beast is up next to my 40 inch widescreen, while SWTOR is installing... quickly. Gotta love GOOD harddrives and multiple CPUs. I go on the website, and resub, rubbing my hands together and watching the game install, muttering to myself "Something something something Dark Side. Something something something... Complete." Then, BOOM. Cat jumps up, knocks the whole thing three feet to the floor. Computer freezes, wont restart. Beep Beep beep is all I get. Took me a while to narrow the problem down (Turns out it was simply some ram) but I had extra on hand. Had to reinstall from the beginning, but I'm about ready to hop back on and FINALLY play at more than 10-15 fps. (I should get 50-60.. at least.) Just thought I'd share for the lulz.

Honestly, we do not need most of the playerbase to stay. Let's say that 2 million people bought the game - just for arguments sake. At sixty bucks a pop - retail, that's 120million. And more copies are selling every day. Now lets say that they can retain... 80 to 100 thousand players - at first. At even twelve bucks, that's 1.2 mill, a month. Honestly it'd be closer to 1.5. This is not factoring in that they'll more than likely have more than this, for the first several months. And all the extra stuff one can buy, like the collector's addition and security keys, and all that. Then factor in the ability to transfer characters to other servers (A feature I'm sure will be added within 6 months.) More money. Even with 100k regular players, they'll still be making lots, and lots of money. Enough to pay programmers, host servers, and release new content. All they have to do is rough through the first year, come out with a really impressive, mostly bug-free expansion, and it'll draw all those who left, back. If they can weather the year, they'll have smoothed out the rough edges. Refined the gameplay. And they'll be a contender for the crown, so to speak. I expect NO MMO can dare challenge WoW their first year. But maybe they can in their second.

I believe this is going to be corrected. The other issues, that is. I would be glad if they left in a 1 or 1.5 second cooldown for abilities, though. And there I have to disagree with you. If you think about it logically, what images come to mind when you think "Star Wars?" Sure, the space combat they have right now is a good placeholder, but they've nothing in the way of multiplayer. Of all my predictions, this is the one I'm almost sure of - the first expansion will be primarily for space combat. It'll give all those mod slots on our ships some use.

I acknowledge that I may very well be wrong about the ability delay. Really, I just don't see having a little delay as a bad thing. It gives the player (especially players not so skilled in the art of MMO's, like myself) the ability to THINK. With time and practice I'm sure I'd be able to adapt to a faster pace. For the moment, though, the current system is actually helping me learn.

I understand about the "threat," You'll just have to forgive me. I'm mostly patient, yeah. But I've no patience, or for that matter interest, in people who do not follow rules (Trolling and flaming) or do not have the decency to read what has been written before replying. That is not... replying. That's shooting in the dark by saying something that may or may not be related with my post. They, by default, CAN'T know. They didn't read it. I do not mean to offend, only to let them know preemptively that I'll not be responding to them. Just the opposite. But enough of that. Why do you believe they need to be even more aggressive? While I tend to agree with the point, when is enough enough? This is a rather large update coming out, they must have worked hard on it. You're saying they aren't yet doing enough? Additionally, I'm pretty sure in your more specific case (That of being hacked and unable to restore) that you would be in the minority of people. Fixing said problem would be rather low on their list of things to address, and therefore ya might have to wait a while to see it address properly on a large scale. Condolences, though. I know how it is to get a character hacked

Preface: If you do not read, please do not type a reply. You'll just be ignored/reported. I'd just like to share my thoughts about a few things, and I would like you all to share what you feel as well. First off, this question: What do you think the following signifies? What I believe it means, is that Bioware is listening very carefully to what we are all saying. I believe (and I can really confirm none of this) that Bioware has a long list of things that need to be fixed, things that need to be added, and things that need to be discovered. I also believe they are working EXTREMELY hard at making this game the best MMORPG in the world. You can give whatever reason you'd like (Money, probably being at the top of the list) but I really think that these people at Bioware understand what we, the gamers, want. We want to be the hero, to collect the l33t l00t, to pwn teh nubs, to immerse ourselves in the lore, to get the girl, to make the money, to finally catch and eat that fricking carrot - only to discover a bigger, orangier carrot down the road. It is my opinion, just by studying the game, the players, and paying attention - that Bioware is out to take WoW's crown. To not only become a major player but to set the new standard of what online MMO's are about. But, before you light your torches, my dear flamers, note, I do not expect this to happen soon. With 1.1, I am trying to look into the future, and I could very well be wrong on any/all accounts. But... I've a few predictions. All the bugs that currently plague us will be gone in a year - I think BW will see to that. We'll always have new ones, but I believe they'll achieve a level of stability that WoW doesn't even have... eventually. Right now... and within this first year of launch, this is going to be a big learning experience for them. As programmers, and as a company as a whole. My second prediction is that probably at about the end of this year, we'll get our first exp pack. It's been hinted at, but I believe it'll be mainly a crafting overhaul, as well as a space expansion - Read, Multiplayer Open-Space combat. Currently, the space missions are rather scripted tube shooters, ala Starfox. Anyone ever play multiplayer starfox? Hint hint. My third prediction is that the "Ability Delay" many of you are experiencing will both be fixed, and NOT be fixed. It's my opinion that to some degree, this delay is intentional. Hard-Built into the engine. The fixed part will come in the vein of the skills and abilities that are truly not working correctly. The not-fixed part is the fact that... I don't think SWTOR is a twitch-reflex game. I think they wanted a more... strategic, chess-like combat system. It's not how fast you fire things off, it's what order you do it in. It's sorta... turn based. Example: Sith Sorcerer casts "This" I can interupt, throw up a shield, attack, use a trinket, etc etc. Sorcerer now has to respond to my move, by making the best decision she can. And on and on, until one of us is dead. Not overpowered, not spam-clicked to death, not because I had the better set of macros... but defeated with good strategy. Rocks, Paper, Scissors... just much, much more complex. I believe all of this, and will adapt my views as things come. If it turns out I've nailed all the predictions down 100% correct, I will be SHOCKED. I highly doubt I'm psychic, and don't claim to be. But this is just what I believe makes sense.. this is where I feel we are all headed. To an awesome, fun game set in the Star Wars universe. A truly modern MMORPG, that will set standards and create new things we've never seen before in an online game. It might take us years to get their... or the game might flop horribly because some people made bad decisions, or something goes terribly wrong. But honestly, I see what BW's done, and what they continue to do. I find myself eagerly awaiting what they have in store for us. Now you. What do you think this (rather large) update says about BW? What do you think BW is doing right? What do you think they are doing wrong? Are they capable of greatness - or just another company out for money that will sell out the second they get the chance? And the future? Do you agree with my predictions? Have your own? Share. Discuss. Ignore any/all trolls and people that haven't read THIS Really, I'd just like to have a stimulating conversation about the game ^^ ~Jet
