Everything about Everything.
The Beginning.
So, we were playing few pvp warzones with Ben and Jedight and I couldn't notice how "retarded" and "clueless" some of our teammates were.
For example.
When the middle turret in Alderaan warzone was totaly gangbanged by the enemy. There were few "Heroes" that alone charged into that fray. I guess they were hoping for quick reinforcements but that was not happening. But what was realy painfull was that we had full squad of lemmings that were independently soloing that capture point. So there was no way for us to capture it for ourselves.
(Edit by Shade: Removed the "le"; we are not Reddit here.)

Are these teammates random people or clan members? I don't have TOR yet so I don't know :x

Random people, but you're able to group up in a group of 4 to join in a whole team of 8 (you'll be able to have a whole group of 8 at some point) in a Warzone game, which there are 3 of (soon 4). There's also an open PvP place in which you can group up to 16 people I believe, if not more? Would be awesome to have a full BG group there.

So, i wanted to ask...
Ouja and Pyro, i've seen them few times online, but not really active. Are they playing, will they play, or they stopped?

MMO's ain't Ouja's game, was a surprise to even see him ingame. Pyro was all alone or what, tried to get him back, but he just couldn't... Yet! Give Bioware some time and they might add something that'd make it even more interesting. I'm also planning a Trooper Squad in a near future, might peak some interest in playing together. ^^ Though I think we might need the 1.2 patch or so before we roll on with that, I don't want it to look like a bunch of clowns.

Yeah you're that aim and "pew pew" guy, wouldn't think RPG gameplay would be something for you. I've grown sick of FPS games lately.

Here is the video i was talking about:
Another proof was Sujo playing warzones with lvl 40 guardian later today, saying he does 4k-5k dmg with his aoe. I was occasinally doing that with my lvl50 scoundrel in champion gear and relic on, so what da fuk?
That conversation we had really made me pissed off. I used to like Bioware, but than i took a deadly nerf in the knee.

You know all I said there Seether, MMO's just won't stand still at some place, you'll see things come around. But, are you sure that footage even is recent, the action bar is old for starter, for what I know that could've taken place during beta where an exploit was possible. Cause I sure don't face any good Jedi Guardians/ Sith Juggernauts at this time.
Also us Scoundrels are really blossom on the PvP front, I see a lot of us in there and I know some names of a few good ones. Maybe not as many as Jedi Shadows or such, but still, we're a good bunch.

I really want some kind of plugin that counts damage of party members, as there are plenty for WoW. Then it would be more clear which class is underpowered and which overpowered in damage dealing.

I sure don't want that. Damage doesn't show you anything, the outcome of a said fight does. I'm sure they've statistics about the whole thing somewhere, not that it's good enough still.

Was about to install SWTOR again, seeing that their F2P model has launched, when I quickly read over the features. Made me cancel the setup immediatly.
Greedy as they are, they removed a concerning amount of basic game stuff from free-to-play, like the quickslotbars 3 and 4, the ability to show your title or basic access to your bankvault. Stuff that you have to pay for, to get it back. Concerning as well is the fact that, to recieve the promised Cartel Coins (the currency you buy stuff with) for your previous subscription, you apparently have to resubscribe at least once.
The problem I have with this should be obvious: A free-to-play model should not limit players in their experience of the game, payed content should only be stuff that you get IN ADDITION to the actual content, like cosmetic items, perhaps some XP or crafting boost, or even some ingame-money. But to me it seems like they simply removed basic game features that you have to rebuy.
No-Go for me.
A game that does that actually right is for example Guild Wars 2 (haven't played that thought). Payed content is only cosmetic and hardly changes anything balance-wise. There are no limitations, no restrictions.
As a non-sub-player, in SWTOR, you are restricted to, for example, only play a certain amount of rounds in pvp or not be able to receive artifact gear or event gear. You have to either buy those features or subscribe entirely.
I despise their F2P-Model and I won't play the game again.
What do you think about this?

I haven't really get to play the game, but i plan to, atleast to finally finish the story line with my scoundrel. Since i hit lvl, what was it? 50?, i didn't play story much. As for the changes, i'm sure they suck, hard. I can't even think what they did to scrapper scoundrels when they started to slowly eliminate that class six months back. Atleast i got my battlemaster title (which i cant wear if i understood it correctly? ) when it was viable class. I think the game isn't made for long term playing now any more than it was from the launch date. Sadly. They had no time to improve it, since they were dealing with bugs and crashes and "balances" and whatnot from the start, then remaking the game to F2P model and not working on the game's content. I could be wrong, i didn't really watch the game's progress since i stopped playing. It is great game to play story and all though. You who did not play it, iam looking at you!

You get to play it for free, play through all the stories up to level 50 without paying anything at all. That's pretty great if you ask me, you sure can play it through with two quickslots bars, no bank access and so on. Those who've also been in a subscription (or would pay a small fee) could get preferred status which will lessen some restrictions, but of course not all of them... Some of the restrictions are indeed silly and I don't know why you wouldn't get more Cartel Coins for old sub months than the recent ones, so that you could buy up all those little things and then run it for free (unless you want to be and endgame player, then it'll have to cost, but the F2P model is perfect for those SP gamers (which Bioware fans kinda are)). But overall I think this has been really good to the game (at least what you can see now), I enjoy the game more than ever now, it only gets better and better for me. Or has that to do with my recent Bounty Hunter character? Damn, I love her so!

Here's the comparisons and details wwwswtor.com/free/features.. The F2P really doesn't help returning players at all. It's just made so you can come in and do your class quests up to level 50 for free. Some things are extremely stupid though; for example, not being able to wear purple ranked gear as preferred status. That apparently means I can't wear any of my Rakata/Black Hole gear when my sub runs out? Ontop of that it costs 1200CC to buy the pass for wearing purple gear, which will cost you the same as a sub for a month so... I'd like to end my sub and just buy ops/wz passes when I need to, but if I can't wear any of the gear what's the point. Edit - Don't you mean MY Bounty Hunter by the way

They both are awesome! We sure make an awesome team. I'll be able to play today btw.
And yeah, preferred status should be made better, so that you could at least keep your gear, money and characters. But F2P is really fine to me, story is what SWTOR is more focused on, and here F2P players get to play 8 different stories for free, that's a F2P I could sure play (unless I also wanted challenge with Ops and so, but it's still a very good deal to me).
