Ive seen FAR worse

There fixed it just for you so this pointless convo can end.

LMBO no im not offended BUT again new team generilzed can mean the shuffling of team members. Its called a generalization for a reason so please stop asking who the new team is when I have told you twice now that is was a generalization.

I was generalizing sheesh WELCOME TO PLANT EARTH, where we get offended over every little thing esspetially when people are generalizing.

I did highlight this statement We are still getting updates and thats a great thing but when a game is nothing more than small updates and run by a skeliton crew, its on the verge of being sunsetting OR already started.

they wont acually announce it. All bussness plans have this built in. They technically dont have to announce it until it gets farther down the road closer to time but the signs are all there. Skeliton crew to keep it maintained, very little content being made compared to the first few years of release, ect.

IF anyone at all would like to show support for a remake of SWTOR or just want to express there opinions RESPECTFULLY without all the doomsaying, then please feel free to leave a comment. I SUPPORT EA and Bioweare for there compleat succsess of what SWTOR has been over the years and PRAY that a remake is in order to update the engin and bring the game into a BRAND NEW ERA

WARNING: This may seem like a doomsday post but I promise you it is not. It is simpally my stance from personal observations since I have been playing SWTOR since beta. SO PLEASE FORUM MODERATORS read the entire post before you lable it as a doomsday post because I promise you it is not JUST PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS with real life terms that bussness use. SO let me iterate a few things here. 1. Charles is leaving 2. we got a team that was shuffled around to new positions (Changed from New Team becuase aparently people need it exact and not generalized) 3. Content for the game has been absolute crap and not overly good content at that. 4. We went from reading patchnotes for a full hour for content to just a couple minuts over 10 years 5. SWTOR is run on a skeliton crew so if we get new REAL content it will be 3-5 years at a time before we acually see any REAL WORTHY content. 6. OH DID I MINTION WHAT BIOWEAR AND EA IS DOING. They are offically Sunsetting the SWTOR game after 10 years of service. For those that dont know what sunsetting is, HERE let me share: Sunsetting, in most professional contexts, refers to the deliberate termination or phasing out of products or services. Sunsetting is typically incorporated into the business plan, or product life cycle, prior to product launch, though the exact time of sunsetting may be dependent upon a number of considerations. The financial performance of a product does influence the timeline on which it is slated for sunsetting, and products that are no longer profitable, or in alignment with the company’s brand, are usually phased out sooner. However, a successful product may still face sunsetting. In order to maintain the attention of the public by continually providing new technology, projects may be scheduled for sunset simply to make room for another option for purchase. Often technology products will not be supported with updates or new software after sunset in order promote ongoing product acquisition by consumers. While the term sunsetting can be found in other industries, such a real estate and politics, the definition is typically the same – building an expiration into a contract or policy to promote action, or to remove a consideration after a certain duration of time. Now with that said, I DO NOT BELIVE the game will die and those doomsayers out there that keep saying this needs to be shot as it is far from it acually. I think what there doing is phasing it out for something newer and greater that they havent told us about yet. The SWTOR engin is pretty dang old at this point and cant really be expanded on anymore and because of this after 10 years of service it makes since to Sunset SWTOR for something that could replace it or run along side with it. I THINK with as much sucssess this game has had, there is quite possibly a REMAKE of the game in progress with a younger better engin. I am not 100% sure on this but the signes are there if you are able to see them because there is no way in HELL they would ever give up this game, Just update the engin to expand it even more than they already have. It makes the most logical since and if thats not what there doing then there MIGHTY STUPID. They have a great thing going here with SWTOR and it would be a shame if they didnt update the engin and pull out a SWTOR remake. I do know there was a KOTOR remake that was canceled indefintally BUT that may just be a sign that they could be working on a SWTOR remake with a better engin to support crossplay and all that because as it stands the current engin doesnt and cant do crossplay. AGAIN THEY WOULD BE STUPID TO NOT DO A REMAKE OF THIS GAME. Would not benifit them at or or binifit there pocketbook espetially the last 2 attempts at making a succssessful Game, Mass Effect: Adromida for example. EA and bioweare would be plunged into debt and go bankrupt if they fully ever got rid of SWTOR because SWTOR makes them all there money and making a new engin to support the game and open up crossplay whould be 100% benifical to them and there pocket book. Only time will tell but I truly belive there remaking SWTOR with a new engin because 1. Im a positive person. 2. They wouldnt give up there money maker. 3. making the game crossplay would allow the entire world to play the game from all angles. 4. making the game have a new engin would ultimatly revive a WELL USED engin that quite frankly is streached to its limit. 5. its been my experiance with EA and Bioweare that they do lissen to the player base, DISPITE it looking like they dont and THOUSANDS of people have asked for a remake and canceling the roadmap to a game with an old engin is only but part of that new remake AND they like to supise people with these things when they remake a popular game. Take it or leave it I don't care these are just my personal opinions from what I have observerd since beta of SWTOR.

You guys are not hearing me You all didnt make the game so how do you truly know what is going to happen. AGAIN If you lock the cartel market items to the GE and not make them tradable between players it doesnt matter if you buy it from the cartel market or buy it from a website, It wouldnt be tradable player vs player in any form and ONLY be tradable via the GE. It would stop the selling of Cartel market items to playervs playe 100%. Taking out the ability to trade credits would finish the job for these websites that sell credits bucase again at that point credits wouldnt be tradable player vs play. Both options include the ability to not trade by mail. If you take out the player vs player for both things it would effectivly SHUT DOWN those sites because those sites would not stay active so people could sell crap to them because trhen THEY would be losing money and not making it. It would effectivly cancel out ALL buying of things on thiese websites so there worthless and balance the SWTOR economy. You guys really need to stop thinking about how bad of a idea it is and picking at it and acually READ what I say. I cant belive people cant use there brains and see the bigger picture in what I was saying. I cant beleave I have to go this far and explain it in alot more detail.

What I proposed takes very little manpower no extra money. Its littrally 1% manpower and 0 COST. At most it would take 5 hours to re-code because they have to find all those references that everything is pointing too and change it. My mom, if she kinda knew where everything was on the back end like the game developers do, or at least ways to find the code easily, she could have it done in 1 hour EASILY and ready for the next patch. When you are a programer what I propose can probaly be done in there sleep as easy as it is because is adding NOTHING, or at least very little, and changes the code of what is already there.

NO you can solve alot of problems with that alone by doing some coding to disalow cartel items to be traded via player vs player and doing away with criedt trading all togeather for player vs player Takes little effort to delete the code involving player to player credit trading while still allowing credit legacy trading between ur chars. All that takes is deleting the code for that aspect and changing a few words to disalow credit trading between players. As for making the Cartel items untradable between players, sure it will take more than just deleting code but it wouldnt take much more to imput 1 2 lines of code that disalows player player cartel market trading while still allowing it to be sold on the GE. The coding is already there all they have to do is, change, delete and re-program a few lines of code that points to the referances for those changes. They can littraly change the way they do cartel market items by just changing the refrence coding that all of the cartel items point too and never touch an ounce of cartiel items coding. It really isnt as hard as you would think, my mom is a programer and she litrally told me 6 diffrant language formates that is can be done EASILY with just a few lines of code because your not doing anything but limiting stuff. You not making containers for windows your not making content all you are doing is 2 lines of code to limit things. MUCH easier than making window containors and content and the player vs player money trading is super easy becauser all they have to do is delete the container off the the trade window and change a couple words to disalow credit trading. Now if what I was proposing was making a contaier that fits in a popup window or new content it would be MUCH MORE difficult but deleting and changing a few lines of code is absolutly EASY as can be so as much as I hate to say it, even though you are right its not breaking TOS excpet for the website buy/sell, your post is invalid because my post was all about balanace changes to bring the SWTOR economy back to the way it needs to be without an OUNCE of exploits possible for the buying and selling of cartel items AND Killing all buy/sell websites. My suggestion had NOTHING to do with adding content and everything to do with balanceing the economy of SWTOR.

A tip to help the SWTOR economy and effectively stop credit exploits, credit sellers, and kill all the websites that sell/buy credits or items for real life cash that I think should be taken into imediatly. I have 2 ways of resolving this: Option 1: (The least likely option) Set up a stcript that binds all the cartel items to you on pickup that way they are untradable and not be able to be put on the GE. Option 2: (The option thats way more resonable and still allows for competitive trading, fixes the SWTOR economy, and Effectively shuts down all buy/sell websites) Set up or change some coding that allows all catel items to be sold on the GE "BUT NOT" be tradable between players. This would still provide competitive trading within STWOR still and to be honest I think would stop all these websites and cometitive trading that is not in GE. Regualr crafting items could still be tradable between players in this instence. While doing this removing the option to trade credits also prevints these websites that are selling credits from breaking TOS. Now my explination of WHY I make these suggestins. Hi My name is Curtis Herbold, I have been an off and on player of SWTOR and have continusly bought a subscription ever since the game was F2P the very first day and fell in love with the game. Over the years you all have said there is absolutly no credit exploits happening. However you know that there are websites buying and selling things. Well I have been back to playing SWTOR after about 6 months of not playing from December 21, 2021 to June 15, 2022 and the issues of these websites and trading are just getting far worse as the years go on. In the last week I have been on 20 hours strait a day and only have gotten 4 hours of sleep each night and the things I have seen in the last week alone each day for 20 hours strait on the imperial fleet alone in general chat is VERY EXTREAMLY CONCERNING. In the last week alone Cartel Hypercrates went from selling at 250 MILLION credits to 4-6 BILLION credits for 1 SINGLE hypercrate and since hypercrates cant be sold on the GE, thats what people are selling them for in the General Chat and goes up to 180 BILLION Credits PLUS for a stack of 30 Plus crates. They also have been talking on the imperial fleet that they have been selling hypercrates on those websites for real money for $100+ or about 800 BILLION Credits to use in the game. This is not all. There has also been people BRAGGING how they buy credits on these websites all the time and never get caught and belive you will never do anything about it. What I BRING to the table with Option 2 still allows trading, though not player to player anymore for cartel items, and fixes the economy the way the game was ment to be playied. You could do Option 1 but I only mintioned it for a Nuclear Option so I could give you a worst case senario and a much more resonable option comparison. Option 2, I THINK, is very much more reasonable and fixs everything involving the SWTOR economy and effectively shuts down all buy/sell websites. IF you like option 2 I would get it implimented as quickly as possible because YESTERDAY July 21, 2022, Someone was selling a Hypercrate in the General Chat for 20 BILLION Credits and as the week and days go on, Hypercrates and getting more and more exploited because they arent allowed on the GE. Option 2 ALSO fixes any other cartel items that are also not allowed to be sold on the GE and could be exploited in this fastion. PLEASE I BEG YOU Impliment Option 2 because it will fix everything you say is not happening because you live in DENIAL that there are no credit exploits going on but if you would just log in for 1 week for 20 hours a day just sitting on the imperial fleet and watch General Chat, you will see exactly what I see EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Has anyone else been having issues with loggin in. I went to bed last night at 10pm because I couldnt log in as it was saying the login server was unavalible. Anyone at all having the same issue???

If it can be deminstrated, Why not make a video of it, upload it to youtube and post the link here. After all in my experiance with devs, unless they see it and see how its done, its not really a high priority to them. Not saying SWTOR devs are like that just saying thats what devs like to see is phisical hard evedices in picture or video form the is 100% irifutable, after all a picture or most importantly a video says 1000+ words and needs nothing else.

Opps ya sorry 10 years. I miss read the link I was looking at for upcomming events EDIT: I fixed it.
