1. Epifett - Shut Up.. they told us about this a while ago and it's a good thing.
I am referring to the complete and total abandonment that is the "Weekly Roundtable" wastebins.
Hoards of feedback goes in, and absolutely ZERO return feedback from anyone regarding the important issues such as suggestions and response to proposed changes.
I am sure everyone is all happy about the new Color-Customization thingies that artisans can make, TOO BAD THEY DIDNT ASK THE FREAKIN ARTISANS about it...
Oh, wait... that would require what? EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION...
There should be penalties to jedi and everyone else for participating in PvP. All the Jedi would flock to the battlefields since they could not die, and that would kill continuity more than it already has.
Do not cave on that topic. Keep jedi rare, and make them think about what they will do. Allowing this will spring cities near the battlefields and permanent jedi faction campers.
Faction points are a good thing to have, but I think battlefield spawn should be random. Random battlefields that last until they are completed. Then they spawn again elsewhere.
I did, they were fun. Can't wait to see what they are working out for the revamp...

Not that anyone ever used battlefields anyway!
Please, please don't move them. Our city, the Imperial city nearby, and many others picked battlefield locations in order to take advantage of them, so if you remove some of them entirely and only keep a few, you'd be leaving many of us high and dry.
here's a thought,
Lag is definetly a problem when big groups of opposing factions are fighting for and extended period. Last Sunday was evidence of this on bloodfin. There was a battle between two player cities that ran for a couple of hours involving well over 80 people at times - in the thick of it, I was lagging so badly that i decided to move to the defensive side and battleforward impsthat were coming to the rebel city.The lag subsided until the imperials pushed the rebels back to the defensive position, and then once again I was pretty much useless due to lag. I dont have one of those uber computers by alienware, but its no slouch either -
My suggestion is to put the battle fields onto their own server,kind oflike the idea of a battle planetin order to minimize lag on heavily populated servers. That way the battle that is raging doesnt interfere with the rest of the system. I dont claim to know much about programming or hardware, so I may be way off base here.
Oh and by the way, that battle I mentioned was freaking awesome when I could tell what was going on, it really added much needed content back into the gcw, and as a result the war is really heating up on Bloodfin. Skirmishes are really heating up all over the galaxy -
Just my two credits-

Let us make this the official "Petition to give Jedi free Deaths on Battlefields, or Jedi only Battlefields" thread. Sign if you support.
I have recently quit playing my JEdi because there really is no point to having an amazingly strong character if you can't PVP with him or show off your skills without risk of being killed.
Go play Jedi Academy.
Colonel Tambo Snea'kyaI still run into major question about the game from time to time and this is one of them. How do you find where the battlefields are at? I would go but I don't know where to go. I would bet that there are a lot of solo players like me who have faction ranks without belong to a PA who don't know where to find the battlefields at. Just a thought and if anyone wishes to let me know where my worlds BF is at I'm on Tatooine.
