That's great news!

Also really happy to see that i will get the ARR Collector's edition items from having bought the 1.0 version Collector's Edition.

3 for me.

LOTRO, SWG and SWTOR

I would suggest BH Powertech as it's a Tank AC.

Bounty Hunter will be involved with the war but not as much as the other class stories so it should fit you perfectly.

Um. As it is now, you can log in with email OR display name.

They will only remove 1 of the 2 options available so i can't see how going from 2 different ways to log in to 1 could be worse security wise as most guys post here say.

But my two slicing characters since my return basically if I was to send off on lock box missions (rich level 5 and abundant level 6) pretty much break even.

I never ever get any mission discoveries anymore. Ever

 

There is your problem. In my experience, Augment parts have a bigger chance of you getting mission discoveries than lockboxes.

I mind and don't mind that males play female characters.

When they use their mic it creeps me out. Here you have this doll casting magic and suddenly there's this burling voice say ***what's up****, such an immersion breaker and so so annoying.

Really?

If i experienced that then i wouldn't stop laughing :)

Depends on game.

in SWTOR, i choose by the voice actor which in my experience the female actors is way better than the male ones.

Any other mmo, i first pick male then female for alt then male for the next and so on.

Around 10 bucks isn't that bad for an expansion but i hope Makeb and it's story won't be too short.

Really curious about this: "Stay tuned for more information coming soon - Over the next few months we will reveal more exciting new features!". Hope they add minigames or i can only dream,  Improved Space game!

are you serious?

 

no crew skills in f2p ?

One crew skill per character.

Grey Triangle = Limited restriction 

Yellow Triangle with hollow middle = Some Restriction

Full yellow Triangle = No restriction

Should actually look into this page on the website as it has actual information about the restrictions unlike this picture.

To be fair, it's 2 Bars at the same time as there is 5 more pages of quickbars that replaces the first one. Shift + Scroll up/down changes the page easily.

To be fair I'm pretty sure you're still a subscriber, if you have "5 more pages of quickbars" to change easily. :).

Yeah, i'm a subscriber but the pages are still there for F2P/Preferred Players.

And as I said I'm playing on an f2p acc. atm, so nope. F2p/preferred only has 2 bars.

hm. Made a F2p acc to try it out and you're right. Asked a f2p before and he said he could but i guess he was lying.

Thats pretty low of BW/EA. I can understand limiting the amount of quickbars at the same time but removing the pages aswell :/

A few friends, my wife and I all started playing SWTOR after quickly growing bored of GW2 and looking for more to do in way of raids, and I must say we are having a great time enjoying the game for what it is, and not what we wish it was.

 

They did make a couple of boneheaded moves with the Cartel Market. The thing that companies have to realize is that perception is everything. The extra UI bars is a key example. They are completely unneeded, but people see this and just see them getting nickel and dimed. The game gives you 4 12-slot bars, which is more than you should ever need.

 

Here's a tip, just creak open that dusty wallet and fork over the $15 a month for a game if you want to play it and not worry about it. F2P is, and always will be, a horrible way to play a game. Nothing sucks you out of a game world like having to spend real money periodically. Just IMO of course.

Actually the game just gives 2 bars for free/preferred players... Also the whole idea of f2p is not having to fork over those monies ^^

I remember back in the day when SWTOR launched, with early access etc.

 

Played nonstop 14 days and had a good time. Then went super bored due to the pvp rules back then (dunno if its the same). But we had to buy some random bags, which may - or may not contain anything at all.

The dungeons wasnt all that impressive, and it felt more like a single player questing game than a MMORPG.

 

Have things changed in the game?

Is it still populated or ?

Off the top of my head Since Launch, SWTOR has added the following:

Patch 1.1:

Kaon Under Siege : Flashpoint added.

Patch 1.2:

Lost Island : Flashpoint added

Explosive Content: Operation added (Nightmare Mode added 1.5)

Novare Coast: Warzone added

Patch 1.4:

Terror From Beyond: Operation added

Patch 1.5:

Section X Daily added: New Companion HK-51 added.

Cartel Market added: Cash shop added.

 

So in total since December theyve basically added, 2 Flashpoints, 2 Operations, 1 Warzone, 1 companion, 1 cash shop.

Also of note, they removed the Open PVP Warzone: Ilum.

They also added the ability to adjust the UI, Groupfinder, did 1 major class rebalance, and tweaked the graphics a bit.

 

That pretty much sums up a year of SWTOR's development releases as per my recollection.

*Edit-Forgot to mention they removed Ilum. Kind of a big deal.

                    

You forgot Black Hole on Corellia aswell but yeah, thats pretty much it with actual content.

You can upgrade your account to VIP status which is basicly the same as paying for a subscription.

It's all on the Lotro Website.

I've voted Yes since i enjoy the current game but i'll keep playing the game if they manage to fix the issues that keep me away from considering this game as my main MMO.

Those issues is the UI, Performance and Account management.

If they managed to fix those things then they will have my sub for years.

Also, GW2 has some great concepts and features but I don't think any of it is genre defining for mmo's like wow did.

For instance, I'm not sure if i like the lvl scaling.  What's the point in getting to 80 and not being able to go back to the Queensdale to obliterate a group of MOA who picked on you when you were lvl 1?

One other thing off the top of my head that other companies will probably nab from GW2 is shared resource nodes.  It's an amazing idea that someone should have thought of long ago.

If i'm not mistaken, FFXIV already have shared resource nodes so someone already have thought of it.
