Thank you for the explanation, and I do appreciate the civility.
Personally I am over the fact that SWG is gone. I'm not going to forget it existed, but I am firmly adjusted to the reality that the game is gone and is not coming back.
I really dont think adding those elements will destroy the game. I don't think you are going to get people turning down invites to do EV because of day/night cycle, etc. I also don't beleive there is any way to turn SWTOR into SWG. Other than the Star Wars IP they have so little in common.
so
I'm going to take option 3: Play it, and not like it so much until it changes.
Additionally, I'm a bit confused as to how having the desire for what I see as improvements is an aggressive act such as "shoving my opinion down someone's throat." Can you accept the evidence that there are indeed people out there who just don't like SWTOR, and others who are unhappy with it but experience the tension of wanting to like it? If everyone on the forums agreed there would be no point in having this site. Companies can do their own advertising just fine.
Finally, If you are in the silent majority then there is nothing to worry about, and the negative folks are simply ranting in a corner. A silent majority = complaint free income, so if that is the case you and Bioware have nothing to worry about.

I was one of the few that actually enjoyed the PVE Bounties in SWG. It was redundant and every mark was standing on some planet in the middle of nowhere, but I still liked doing it. Whenever it was working right( mark not standing in a wall or swimming in the ocean) the high marks would give you a run for your money.

me too! I even used to do them when the load screen for planets took 15 min on my system. Good stuff.

@ ignore_me
I have a problem with your avatar.
That engine probably runs real well and doesn't require a rebuild.
crap you ruined it. Now I have to find some other picture

They won't be able to out-WoW World of Warcraft. SWTOR will have to adapt or lose everyone but the "target audience" (Star Wars fans who love WoW and who play for only a few hours in a week). That may be a sizeable crowd don't get me wrong, but they will have trouble keeping any kind of longevity with the current design.
The BW Propaganda division is quite good, and I could see the New Content Video making the rounds in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years. Cue TOR music, show characters from camera angle not available in the game: cut to the ultra suave Georg Zoeller, "In Star Wars the Old Republic, players now have the ability to have their characters become one with the force at endgame. This frees up character slots to play new alts and gives the player the feeling of being a character in the Star Wars universe."

This may be more fitting. Even shows rails and a lot of people with no clue how to fix it.
Couldn't resist and is totally worth the troll warning I'll get.
it might even reverse the declining population problem.. at least until they introduce a cash shop for crafting materials etc etc. and then they could probably just bury it like they did swg, and earth and beyond.

15 minute load screens? Yikes. The only long load screen I remember was when I would first log in. After that it was usually fine when I planet hopped.

Yeah I had a bad computer. I had to look down in Coronet Spaceport because of the poor framerate. It would take so long to load in, that sometimes my bounties had already skipped to another world lol.

ta. i try.
it gave me a giggle for five minutes.
in all honesty, i feel sad for swtor. it had so much promise. and i agree they need to add so many more functions into the game to make it more of an mmo. i only played swg for a month or so, so i'm unsure what functions to take from that. i felt the game was pretty normal mmo fare from the minimal time i spent in it. i possibly missed something?
but swtor. man. i had really been looking forward to it right up until the moment when they decided not to release it in australia. and we got no warning. when i did get into the game, i admit to being very underwhelmed, but the one thing i think everyone should take from it is the story idea. it shows you CAN integrate it into an mmo. just that you should never use it as the focus of an mmo. as an experiment it was fine. i wish they'd done it with a baldur's gate mmo instead, though.
for me, what this game should take from swg is some of the star wars. to be brutally honest, if you took out lightsabers, you wouldn't know you were playing a star wars game.
Thats some crappy comp you must have had. You were lucky to play SWG at all
I never had loading screens that took that long.
15/20 seconds was about the longest.
Was only ever a real problem when I was SF or in a Guild War and was loading into Nyms

Well the problem over there seems to be the SWTOR purists who campaign on the forums for 'No Change to our Game.' You can't even talk about other content without it turning into a contest of insults. Not sure what the big fear is, are they going to unsub if you add a day/night cycle to the game? There are no invasive features that you could realistically add to the game, so I am left thinking that they fear that more stuff will just break the game engine, or the devs hearts or something.

Oh, here they go again! But now post 1.2

I am pretty sure this is the correct place to post this for star wars fans, well here I go again, same message different forum!
I recently found out that Disney and EA will be working on the new star wars projects as Lucas Arts has stepped back.
With that said, and I dont know if this would be even considered with SW TOR but maybe for the next game. I created something known as a rain saber, short for rainbow lightsaber. I just want to get as much exposure to this idea as possible because if the right people might see it they might actually design it in game.
Here are some shots I edited and made for trying to support this theory, essentially it would be nice to be in a star wars game where you can obtain all abilities from every jedi ranking class, sentinel, padawan, guardian, etc.
Well with a multi colored lightsaber, it could represent many abilities you possess and/or ranking. It was just a cool idea I have been wanting to see in star wars games for a while. If the images are too hard to see checkout my Deviant Art Page, a lot of the images are for sell due to taking many hours of dedicated hard work, thanks for your time!
