The helper droids appear to be broken for me. When I click on an option in the dialog that pops up the dialog basically closes and does absolutely nothing. When I click on "Request Quest > Brawler", or any other profession the words "Brawler Questt: 1" or something of that sort comeson the screen, but appears to do nothing. Maybe code in the dialog is corrupted.


I would like to be able to choose my starting location. I don't know if it's random and it just happened to start me in Coronet, but there were 15 people there, so I assume it automatically starts you in Coronet every time. Maybe this was done to help get new folks bunched together easier so they can get together and help get a character started, getting them more attracted to Test Center;however, I would like to be able to select between one of the three starting planets, Corellia, Naboo, or Tatooine. I like the fact that the moon planets (Talus and Rori) were removed as a starting location.


The actual tutorial seems to be about the same as it was before with a couple tweaks, nothing really changed here though that I could visually notice.

New User Experience: Enabled the changes for the new user experience. New characters will now get some additional instruction on where to go and what to do when you first enter the game. Create a new character and let us know what you think.

AND WHEN WAS THE VIEW OF SPACE PUT IN THE TUTORIAL?!?!?!?!??!


IT'S TEH BEAUTIFUL1




There's always been a view of space from the tutorial. How did you NOT notice it?

I just noted some of the Titles being changed. Some of them, like Desperado for the Bounty Hunter is really cool. However, as a Pistoleer, I'm less than thrilled with "Master Pistoleer" "Novice Pistoleer" and "Gunfighter" replacing Master Gunfighter, Novice Gunfighter, and Gunslinger. We all primarly use Master Gunfighter, or Gunslinger. I'm not sure I'd use any of the others. I'm sure none of us would be happy about that. The profession does need some work, but I don't think a title overhall is one area that needs to be touched. We've all been very happy with that.

when attempting to loot the corpse of the bandit in the tutorial, I get

"An unknown error has occured during the container transfer of Inventory." when using the 'Loot' sub-option on the radial menu... when using 'Loot All' or '/loot' it says "You find nothing else of value on the selected corpse." which I guess is right...








this game makes me sick to my stomach from all the laughing i am doing at the people who still pay for this.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.

i beta tested this game. i enjoyed the game dispite all its faults for most of the 8 months i played from 2nd day of live. i tried to make all the suggestions and helpful comments i could.


its about time the people who are paying for this do something and make sony realize this game is dead if it doesnt get fixed. i cant be a solution. i have a life that i live outside of this game, and for a while there i wasnt living that life. this game is working "as intended" to make you have a job that you pay for. there is no fun in this game anymore. at first it was great experiencing everything and getting to play in the star wars universe. but that wore off when time after time game mechanics ruined the experience of the fun.


imagine, one day i go to my harvester that i laid down on 97% and high stats minerals, after a month of saving that in my vendor "POOF" all gone. what kind of fun is that?


working as "intended" i was told. you should go read page 17 or 18 in this thread, what a joke. do the devs really believe that they can keep spin doctoring this game and community? i really think you need to seriously look at what you pay for. i have personally been at PvP sessions that absolutely stunk because of lag. oh yeah, i was at the Battle of battles on bria, rebels and imps fighting it out. the first 2 minutes of actual battle was ok. then i shot at someone and they retalliated. i am down. next thing i know everyone stops moving. no lasers flying, no sounds. just idle animations over and over. i can still type, great maybe someone else knows whats going on. uh oh, there goes a wave of people on my friends list falling offline. might as well as pack it in.


and then the server took 2 hours to come back. what a joke. i finished watching the matrix reloaded before the server came back. got online and packed it home.


admit it, this game is not working as the community was "intending". it is working as sony "intended" get a large loyal fan base to pay through the nose for crap!


sometimes i wish i had a time machine. i would go back and tell myself how crappy it all turned out. save myself some money.
