I honestly don't get the appeal of the fuly voiced over quests for every damned thing.

To me a lot of the testimonials sound like, "After the suberb readings with random sound effects, I could never go back to reading a dull audioless piece of literature. Books on tape are the wave of the future!"

LOL bags of poop, that's what I should've done!

And if the voice storylines were so awesome, why did so many of us become spacebar junkies? After my getting to 50 with my first toon I basically spacebarred everything after that.

Obviously you don't care about stories much, no matter what form they are in.

When we decided to go Free-to-Play earlier this year, we had weeks of discussion with everyone on the team about where we thought the game was going, what we thought was going right and what was going wrong. We uncovered a lot of issues, but three things really stood out:

2. The subscription requirement was driving away huge numbers of people who do not want to commit to paying monthly.

This should have read something to the effect of, "People didn't think the game was worth a subscription". People that bought the game KNEW it had a monthly subscription, so how could that drive them off? No matter how they try to spin it, the game is another WoW clone with Star Wars skin, with less content, and less features than an old game, WoW.  It should have been a free to play game with cash shop from the beginning, it just isn't worth a sub fee.

I gladly pay a subscription fee for a game that's worth it, and I'd gladly pay a lot more than the very cheap $10.99-$15.99 a month most games have currently IF the game is good.

Quit the game after 5 month. Looking for couple of answers.

1. Are seer sage still strongest pvp. pve healer? How other healling classes compare?
2. is there still big diffrence in numbers between republic and empire?
3. Are hybrid dps builts still good for dps classes?
4. Scoundrel scrapperrs still nerfed to the ground?

Thanks )))

1. no, they never were. Comandos were better before. Sage/sorc are one of worst PvP classes, along with Commando/Merc

2. yes, nothing changed there

3. no, but in case of sage you can choose to be bad or bad so it doesnt matter hybrid/pure

4. yah, theyve been nerfed some more, they still suck, but good news sawbones is best healer, so instead being stealth burst class you can heal now *rolls eyes*

(did not see we already had a topic on the subject so here's a repost)

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last week, you can't have missed the executive producer state of the game letter from Jeff Hickman.

Interestingly enough this speech totally fits the empire propaganda from SW universe. 
As such, for some of us fighting from the shadows, we thought it was time to break the mind trick that was cast upon the masses.

In hopes for a better future.
You humble servant,

1. Our game is awesome. People love it and want to play it.
2. The subscription requirement was driving away huge numbers of people who do not want to commit to paying monthly.
3. The frequency of our Game Updates was way too slow. People were leaving because we were not releasing new content fast enough to keep up with the pace at which it was being consumed.

• Topic #1: Staff: Why are some developers leaving The Old Republic™? How will the game be affected?
• Topic #2: Bugs: How does testing work? Why do bugs get through? Why did Game Update 1.4 have so many of them? What are we doing to improve the process?
• Topic #3: Oceanic populations. Are we doing anything about them?

• Still many issues with the engine
• Can't have UI chat bubbles due to heavy FPS drop
• Can't get things like draw distance improved
• Still feels laggy at 60+ FPS
• No proper preemptive loading management, ie: long loading times
• Very bad network synchronization: characters positions and response time not synced.

• Enemies AI still very poor
• Targeting mechanic not set properly
• No target of target transfer
• No mouse over healing

• Even less balanced than the last before iteration
• Apogee of the Stun Wars syndrome
• Total lack of World PvP
• Might be mostly shut down in F2P

• Lacks incentive for end game content
• Side quests gets old fast
• Specific pets mandatory due to their locked roles
• Space still lacking any appeal

• Very thin updates especially regarding how few is added in the F2P model
• World feels as dead as before
• Yet no gear dyes

• Major graphical bugs since the last patches
• Memory leak
• Lag spikes
• LS blades and companions weapons still being left drawn while in passive mode
• ...

• Pricing model makes you pay for the tools needed to enjoy the game
• Request people to pay for features that are better and free in others F2P MMO
• Does not bring more content that much.
• Locks new items in a paying lottery scam (ask for the odds)
• Is moving away from V.O. story
• Will lower PvP WZ, operations and flashpoints participation.
