  1. I was already really unsure if I wanted to support this game considering all problems that it has (spread out on multiple topics I've posted over these last 4-5 months stay). From bad PvP balancing to biased mechanics intended to force long-term subs, to lack of content on the recent years, decade old bugs that never got fixed. But none of that was enough to put me off of it, yes I do enjoy the game even with it's flaws, but many of those things scream bad costumer service, and disrespectful business model, what in fact has actually been the last nail was forums censoring. I just had a post deleted that made no sense, but carried heavy criticism towards Bioware, even though indirect. What was really against community guidelines was a single phrase, but instead of having it edited out or requested to be edited out, to make some shady PR move, they simply deleted it, I've seen many topics being delete in the forums by other players who were actually raising very valid concerns or complaints, yet at that time I didn't pay much mind (guilty as charged, as long as it wasn't me I was "phine" with it). Now it hit me, and I am not going to let it go. I already said this years ago I believe, but silencing preferred and f2p players was already a very despicable practice by their shady terms, I mean, it's absurd that f2p and preferred cannot have any support what-so-ever, but it makes worse when subs are also being censored for bringing up fair criticism. Well, tbh I didn't expect any different considering BW is part of EA, and knowing very well how EA operates, it was just a matter of time, in a way I've trapped myself into this situation by using the forums actively to express concerns and dislikes (no reason to praise a game when it's running smooth, forums are in a way just there for support and rant, maybe suggestions. which brings me to why I did post this here) So, my suggestion is simple: Stop censoring, allow f2p and preferred support, balance the PvP more decently, remove biased self-serving time-locks that are there only to force ppl into subbing for longer periods of time. Maybe if you change one or all of these, you still might have a chance of recovering large chunks of the player-base. It would also be nice to have better writers doing content forward, maybe have said content being released more often. That's it, farewell SWTOR community, I don't believe I'll be coming back.
  2. oooooh! Wasn't paying attention, farming those ridiculous tokens to get the SH, considering all things, this is next level carroting to force subs. So the issue seems "resolved" although in the worse possible manner. I'd have preferred if they added those items to CM so nutjobs started selling them on the GTN instead.
  3. although a great idea, I think they think that GF ops will start popping with this, not the case at all
  4. I'm very happy that ppl agree with me on this one
  5. aaaah, read the entire thread, look at the dates. and **** 12 year old lol
  6. =) Yeah, both games had incredibly good stuff, shame that they didn't merge the good of both into a new one. As for BBA, sure, the event sucks, but the rewards remain the best among all regular events. Others that have decent rewards are the yearly ones. Rakghoul is okay-ish, the event itself is much more entertaining (albeit too limited imo), while Gree simply sucks in every aspect of it. SWTOR events, if weighted as a whole are all bad, either the rewards straight-out suck, or the event mechanics suck. Haven't seen any that scores positive on both stances. My pet-peeve with the game remains the same though: Weekly Rep Limits. That thing is just ridiculous, makes it impossible to time-manage play-time to combine all dailies you may want to do, plus farming you need to do. At farming downtime I should be able to progress the dailies as fast as I want, do I have only the weekend free? Awesome, 12h straight into rep farming, otherwise it becomes inventory management nightmare (I have rep tokens sitting in alts that I never remember to pop...) I've, at this point, maxed out Rep with BBA, same for other planets, but am facing a nightmare with Oricon which due to having just 12k weekly rep cap, I'll be forced to grind it for 3 weeks to reach Legend, it's ridiculous, extremely off-putting, in fact so off-putting that I'll probably not grind it at all.... It even took my desire to play today, I mean, not just that obviously, but the combo of doing Onderon dailies (annoying traveling) + Mek-Sha (annoying sleep inducing quests). The rep cap just made the game feel like a chore, in fact this feeling comes up quite constantly and it's one of the reasons why I'm questioning if I should stick to the game or not. Idk if my idea is good, have severe doubts about it, but I believe that being able to play whatever I feel like playing and progressing with whatever I feel like progressing would do wonders instead of this. Some content is more enjoyable, but less rewarding, other content is boring AF but you need to do it to progress, so on so forth. It's a weird idea, but I think it would mostly work? Idk.
  7. I've decided to wait and see if he even knows what IGDA is (I believe he doesn't). Still some strong points in there.
  8. hmm very interesting (You actually made a lot of good points there, but my last reply was sarcastic) -> I used to be a member of IGDA, do you have your card still? Instead of diving into the industry as a pawn I've moved out to make films, so much better xD
  9. it's a bait & switch tactics to virtually "increase" pvp population. They keep doing this on a endless loop, RPM/OEM? Now we have access to it through sheer grinding, but Galactic Seasons kicked in at the same time. They'll keep doing this to show numbers for Suits, when in reality those numbers would really be shameful due to their incompetence on making the game better instead. They were supposed to instead focus into the game's core experience: Gameplay. Instead they keep baiting with Carrots, ruining the experience for the carrot hunters and the core players of each game-mode. There's just too much wrong with SWTOR right now, if I was in charge of listing them I'd be in trouble deciding where to begin with xD Still like the game though, as I always say, tastes do not reflect quality.
  10. so deep, I think you are competing with Plato already on philosophical deepness
  11. Resurrecting the thread to say something: Have you people ever thought about how dumb it is to have time-exclusive rewards? I mean, the game carries assets (which translates into total pack size on your disk), each and every item, basically, occupies space on your hard-drive, now, why should I be forced to load stuff I don't have in the game? I'd rather be unable to see other people's "eXcLuSiVe" items and have more disk space than getting over 1gb of worthless clutter that you rarely or ever gonna see in-game, just so someone can show off how they subscribed during a certain time-frame, as if that would change anything other than annoy me on the fact that there's some bug occupying space on my hard disk for no reason other than to pat some twisted sense of ego from ppl who "wanna show off pixels". In fact, if that was a trend, let's say, 1 new silly item like that added every maintenance to "subs only", today (2021) the % of the game's size basically comprised of useless exclusive clutter would be ridiculously high, to a point that having SWTOR in your disk would be occupying the same space as another entire game for no logical reason. Given that, wouldn't it be less mentally impaired to give access to all said assets in one way or another to all players? I mean, caring for pixel exclusivity already highlights serious psychological issues, having that for stuff you didn't even have had to work for in-game is next level negative IQ stuff. So let's reinforce the OP point: Just end the exclusivity for "subscribing during X period" stuff, add them to the CM, let people customize their way to personal phabulousness bliss... I mean, why not? (I mean, exclusivity advocates are not even human beings in my perspective)
  12. Congratulations, you got your silly troll trophy of the day Srsly, why barge into the guys thread to say nothing useful, just bait in a infantile way?
  13. I'm not an ace on PvP, in fact I am quite average with some shining performances here and there. The only advice I can give is a three step one: Forget about getting good fast (doesn't mean that you won't, just means that you don't care if you do and when) - start playing PvE without rotation but on priority GCD instead, after you are used to that, start PvEing without healing companions -> survive. That basically trains you for the much harsher environment of PvP, to realize your Priority rotation DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT RELY ON GUIDES. Read the skills instead, open your Spec window and read all the utilities, see what skill does what, you must understand everything, even passives. After that you can start deciding on utility by 2 factors: How you play + perform (which shows what are your weaknesses, either as a player or as a spec/class) -> given that you can decide to switch utilities to better compensate your flaws. Second factor would be by observation/situation, which basically translates into understanding team compositions and what better suits that match. The latter is only useful for Arenas, because for Warzones you'll be better off focusing on buffing your strengths to reach the objectives better (defend, cap, carry ball, movement, speed, being CC immune, CC harder, etc.)
  14. First of all: Secondly: If you do a Team DM on maps that are not Team DM you'l always get top dmg, in objective warzones that means you are hindering your team and playing the gank gang, it doesn't mean u are good, just that you are 100% of the time mashing buttons on other players. At least as a healer if you do that you are "accidentally" helping, so keep it up, as healer, don't DPS ever again! When I read your reply I actually laughed hard here xD Thirdly: This happens a lot: Although Exly sounded more like TTing than raising a concern by the way he said it, it's like he created that excuse in his head. When in reality if you are good you can compete against those premades, BUT, you'll still be in severe disadvantage and the odds very much against you. BONUS: This kind of reply is what happens when parents fail to educate their children and pay for their game's subscription:
