Haven't logged into the game for a week now. Don't really miss much about it now. Sad thing is that I actually prefer coming home and working some more instead of logging into the game now. Realised as I wrote this post that I am not really enjoying the game so no point staying subbed any more either.

I am hoping they can port their game assets to the Frostbite 2 engine. Now that is an engine worthy of a MMO.

My biggest issue with the game is this: I played Warhammer for 1 year. I see myself playing SWTOR for 6 months.

In this age of holocommunicators, there should rarely be a reason to return to the fleet. The only time this might be necessary is if you need to be handed a quest item or something which adds to the story arc.

I really hope they didn't implement a global counter for all bags per server and code it so that every 4th bag opened would reward a commendation... At this point though, I shouldn't be surprised if that is what they did

Now Bioware just needs to fix accuracy and alacrity. While I am not sure how they can fix accuracy, they can fix alacrity by making it not only reduce the GCD but also increase energy/ammo/force regen in the same proportion so peope will actually have a reason to stack alacrity without running out of energy/ammo faster.

In spite of a dev quoting that number, there are two possibilities: The RNG is very streaky and therefore not a good RNG at all because if the chance of getting an item was really 25%, you would not be getting streaks of 20 bags without an item. It might be remotely possible but most people would be getting a 25% drop rate and you would not be seeing the sort of complaints that you do. The 25% rate quoted is not the real drop rate. The devs might believe that is the rate but more likely a mistake has been made and upon further investigation, the drop rate might be found to be much lower I believe that the second possibility to be more accurate.

Selective listening Champion bags give centurion commendations NOT champion commendations. Are you saying you are also changing champion bags to drop champion commendations? EDIT: The reason no one wants the centurion gear is because the stat distribution on it is horrible. Are you even aware of how different classes need the stat distribution to be on the items? As an example, I play an inf specced jedi shadow. I like Willpower, Endurance, Critical Rating, Surge Rating, Accuracy then Power in that order on my armor. Please look at the centurion or even the champion gear for a dps shadow (the stalker set) and see how that gear gives me those stats. Hint: It doesn't.

^^^ This. However Bioware should realise that their players are not stupid. It is insulting to our intelligence when the devs put out patch notes hoping that players would not be able to read between the lines. FACT: PVP Gear progression in this game is too fast. Full Battlemaster geared players in 1 month of the game?? No one should have been able to get battlemaster gear until at least 3 months into the game. In fact no one should have been able to get tier 3 pve or pvp gear until 3 months into the game. FACT: Valor rank progression in this game is too fast. Rank 60 in 1 month of the game? No one should have been able to get rank 60 until at least 3 months into the game. A system where you only get full valor from kills and warzones only when you fight players near or higher than your current valor rank should have been in game from the start. Fighting lower ranked players should have only given small amounts of valor. Winning a warzone should only have given a bonus on top of this valor. What is sad to note is that they had these sort of systems in Warhammer. Despite the game being a failure, the pvp systems in that game did work. The pvp gear system there was also broken in that people could farm gear in empty city instances but it was months before they got the rank to be able to wear the gear. It is like they didn't learn anything from their failures OR their successes. Did your devs ever do a post mortem analysis on the game at all? What you have now is a situation that people have gotten used to the easy mode gear and valor grind and any attempt to slow it down is going to lead to loss of subscriptions. Bioware has to bite the bullet and make these changes for the long term potential of the game. But they also have to be honest and come out and say these things. Players will be mad and some will quit the game. However a lot of the more rational players and other players who have not yet reached the end game will understand and continue playing the game as long as it is still fun to do so. Honesty is always the best policy even if it costs you subs. Admit you screwed up and take the heat and loss of subs and move on. The players who quit your game at this point are unlikely to be long term subscribers regardless. My solution to the current issues: Put the blue lvl 50 pvp set back into the game. You should be able to buy this with credits as soon as you hit 50. Make the changes that you are suggesting to the bags. Put a valor rank requirement on the champion gear. Rank 50 is good enough. Adjust your expertise rating scale so that it soft caps at 7.5% damage and healing.

I stopped doing the daily/weekly on my server. People have started trading kills because it is much faster and I cannot be bothered any more. My main reason for this is that I decided to step off the gear grind wagon and just enjoy warzones. As soon as I complete my warzone daily, I log off and start playing my lowbie alts. When the rest of my guild gets to 50, I will join them on Ilum as a guild group hunting stragglers and just having fun together. If by doing so, I manage to complete my daily/weekly, so be it!

A Team Deathmatch type map would be great for certain players. Besides it would provide me with a way to vent my rage at people who cannot grasp the strategy behind the 3 maps in the game today. Make this map same faction enabled as well

If the guy you are killing was killed recently, it will not count. They might also have stealthily increased the time for the kills to count because there was a lot of kill trading going on.

You can remove autoface when you give us character collision. Running through an opponent who is casting is not skill.

I am infiltration spec and I only use this in a 1v1. In warzones, it is situational and more often than not a waste of my time with the amount of aoe flying around. If I was balance specced, it might be more useful with the 2 second stun on break but since I am infiltration spec, it is not useful for me.
