For the love of all that is good and holy: Please bring back the SWG Discussion forum.

This a joke of a communication system.

Fix the GCW.

This means fix turrets, make bases able to defend themselves better, fix the battlefields(make them amazing!).

Love to have a several hour battle against an Imperial PA on a battlefield.

Also make sure you make this new combat system far less broken than the current.

SUGGESTION: Why can't the devs make it so the Empire takes special orders from crafters for resources or items. Like have a tailor make 500 uniform boots for the Empire. They could pay per resource unit used. This could be a reward for accomplishing an Imperial NPC mission or for just being factionally aligned with the imperials.Artisans could make droid detectors,power conditioners etc. DE could make mouse droids.

The core objection is going to be "credit farming" and having a massive money fawcet, but Ill ask.

What type of reward amount would you suggest?[/quote]

Instead of having a credit reward, you could have a FP reward. Many of the non-combatants are complaining that there aren't enough ways to gain FP without going out and taking on imps/rebels. This could be one way to do that.

what good are FPs....i stopped tring to get them like 3 months ago...

not worth the boredom of doing the same dull mission over and over and over and over and over...

they should just remove all the requisition items and just let crafters construct them

FPs are good because there's no other way to get factional bases and other factional items. They're an important part of the game. If they're of no interest to you, okay -- don't do the missions.

Hello, here is one of the most frustrating situations that happens in this game.

I happen to be someone who suffers from terrible connection problems (don't know if it is packet loss or what, because i am on cable). That problem aside, it makes me more prone to another problem.

If one gets disconnected while in the midst of doing something, or gets disconnected and THEN tries to perform an action, that action is bugged when the person reconnects, i'll give you a few examples.

1. I'm at the starport waiting on the shuttle, the shuttle finally arives. I double-click or click the use option, and nothing happens. I quickly realize that i have in fact gone LD. I quickly disconnect and reconnect. When I return, the ticket taker will not respond to me. (workaround for this bug is to double click the ticket in your inventory)

2. I'm grouped with someone, and am in the midst of training them in a skill. I get disconnected during the training, when i reconnect, I cannot teach. I click the friend, get the radial menu, click "teach", but nothing happens. No work around for this one, and relogging completely out and in multiple times still doesn't solve the problem.

3. Same type of things happens when using inventory items

4. Same thing happens when talking to a trainer

5. Same thing happens when trying to open a container/hopper or pick up an item.

It's very annoying and for someone like me who gets disconnected alot, it's almost unbearable.

That is something that I think deserves getting a good look at.

GAME LOCK UP!

Please make thisa priority.

Since the Patch that added Vehicles, i have experienced client freeze more than ever before. I do not feel that it is a client side cause as i have been in a room with others playing and watched everyone in the room lock up at the same time. Even when some were on different local networks and different pipes to the server.

For example.One person was on a wireless laptop going through a router to a cable connection playing on Shadowfire with another person on a dialup connection from the same room and both grouped with someone on a different companies cable connection across town. We all froze simultaneously. This has got to be a server or network architecture issue at SOE. Coincidently, it seems to occur when someone is mounting or dismounting from a vehicle or mount.

Though this is an annoyance, i still marvel at the depth that you folks have succeeded in delivering in this game. Keep up the great work!

Our requests are not that huge we just want our cantina back... the ability to self buff and new songs dances and anything else generaly that would make it more fun for us and our customers... If you would like specific ideas i would be happy to compile them from all the different threads... but if your not going to do something to fix them then the problem is only going ot get worse... and while were not the main proffession in the game it is still 57k subscriptions and i think that warents a response.

they arent YOUR cantinas

we dont pay attention to you...

many of us have the player music turned off and dont listen to the awful music

few people actually watch you...we come in, click on some performers and do something else and leave as soon as we have no BF.

all you are is background. having the devs waste time giving you new animations wont add anything to the game

enetertainers are fine as they are. put any changes to them at the bottom of the list and work on the 30 professions that really need help
