"Please dont leave...look! We're almost done with the basics that shouldve been there from the start! Rest assured we are listening to you guys asking for more content and we have decided to give you guys even MORE Rakghouls! These wont be just any Rakghouls, they will be BIGGER Rakghouls with MORE hp! In future, We will add Rakghouls to ALL planets!" |

Most of this should have been in at launch anyway...... |

Man, you will be able to move stuff in your UI! 4th gen!
Pretty sad the amount of stuff they launched without.
I don't have a lot of hope of their newer content being all that great, but I will be giving it a shot and not unsubbing, as TSW/GW2 are not out.... |

Rakghouls are the new murlocs.
Very glad to see the UI changes coming. I really hope they come quickly.
But I am just not getting the whole legacy family tree thing. "Hello I would like you to meet my brother. yeah I know, Zabrak, but you know it can happen. And thats my sister. Yeah, she is Chiss. and there is my other Sister, yep, Twi'lek. Always been strangely attracted to her but I keep telling myself it is wrong, just wrong. Yeah, we all have the same dad, so what are you trying to say?" "What do you mean I am in denial, you better stop saying that stuff about my Mom!" *force choke* The Law of Conservation of Stupidity: |

I am truly glad they are finally adding key elements, that is awesome, it is a good start. New planet is a plus. New battlezone good! What about being able to play alien race and how will that work in the Legacy System? What about faction imbalances? What will Bioware do to address faction imbalances on servers? What about the high res textures? Will they ever be added to the game again? When exploits appear in the future, will Bioware shut down the servers to stop the damage or just let people abuse the crap out of it and reward them for doing it? When poorly implemented game mechanics are found and prove to be detrimental to the overall health of the game will Bioware be brave enough to find a fix fast, take the servers down, before it gets out of hand? This game can still be a great game. Bioware needs to bust their arse to fix it. First impressions are everything and right now they have a pissed off player base and they are leaving. Bioware knows this. They have done everything short of locking peoples subscriptions in to keep them subbed. Can they pull it off or is it to late?

i dont think u can do anything about faction inbalance, They tried to stay ahead of this a bit with guild placement and that didnt work to well. if 2/3 of the players wanna play empire u cant force them to play republic so there isnt really anything they can do to fix this. unless they add a third faction which since they almost did it for launch they may do so in future, The legacy thing they have stated that u will be able to pick the relationship every character has to another in your legacy. how far this goes i dont know but if say u can pick to have zabrak as part of the legacy family and a human but they are part of the same legacy as best freinds or something i dont know how that will work as i dont work at bioware, I just know that they have stated they dont have to actualy be blood relatives. |

Heh, I love coming to this website from time to time to read the pathetic trolls looking for any excuse to bash this game.
My friends, family, and I are loving the game and see no reason we won't continue to for a long time to come. |

"Oh crap, they aren't buying the founder medal title, what should we do?" "Release the video and lets pray it works!" "But sir, its too soon!" "RELEASE IT!"
This is what I feel when I read this
"Some of the less objective people tend to be close-minded though and basically disregard any possible shortcomings that gw2 could have." |

I really hope the legacy system, UI changes and guild bank are in 1.2. Once those are in place then the rest can follow suit at whatever pace they want. |

I'm enjoying the game atm, but making a trailer about standard, expected MMO features and selling it as 'exciting' additions is pretty rookie.
You know what would really excite me? An announcement that Space is getting an overhaul. Or heck, keep the pew-pew rail shooter, but give me a better space sim on top of that. |

Pretty nice that you have to pay almost the cost of an expansion to get such nifty things. BOOYAKA! |

well said.
Funny they have this stuff to add, the stuff people [who dislike every mmo released] cried about, and now they whine..yeah but no but yeah but it should have been there at release. |

Originally posted by cyress8 That makes no sense. I'm paying to access the game for 2 months and get content at quite a nice pace. That's far better than paying $100 a month for cable TV that I can't choose my channels "a la carte" and I'm spammed with inane commercials on 85% of them. Your logic here only makes sense if you don't like the base game. I LOVE it and am enjoying my second character story at the moment, and I've got 6 others yet to go through. Plenty of base gameplay to take me into the next few months and content patches. |

"The community decides what kind of changes we need to make to the game." There, he said it. SWTOR future is now sealed. Instant gratification, easy mode, and pet battles. ***** Before hitting that reply button, please READ the WHOLE thread you're about to post in ***** |
