It continues to amuse me how many hardcore gamers bitch about the space combat when I've heard many light and casual gamers I speak with IRL say they prefer it that way.
Why pejoratively describe the bitchers as "hardcore"? Several of the casual players in my guild who can't stand it. I think there's just me and one other person in my guild who still regularly do the dailies and even I'm losing interest in them. |

Once you know the pattern, they're not nearly as interesting. If ships showing up or flight paths were randomized a bit it would have a lot more staying power.
We can only hope open space as an alternative is the secret project they are working on.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Space combat is AWESOME a) when you're in your teens/20's and b) have some rested xp. I ran 3 dailies in 15 mins and got over half a level last night. It's a great way to level an alt that you've already seen the storyline for.

I was thinking of getting all my alts to the point where they get their ship just so that I could run the space missions. I like them (pre forty missions anyways) and that way once I overleveled everything I could just stroll through their class plotlines while ignoring all other planet missions.
What I really need someone to do is string together all the cutscenes and dialogue into a little youtube app where you can pick the speech options and see what happens for each choice. Then I wouldn't have to play at all!

I'd probably be happy if they introduced a couple of new ones every level or even every other level if the first is too much to ask for. |

I'd be fine with turning off xp as long as the people that do can not participate in pvp. I don't want level 49's in crazy good gear dominating the lower bracket. |

Yep, already talked about this, but I'm pretty much with Miasma, and also the possibility of introduce a "XP on/off" toggle like in EQ2.
Problem is creating well thought out sub-systems both for Space Combat (Ohlen hinted that they may significally expand it...But he's probably referring to group missions and PvP) and PvP that doesn't "necessarily" need you to gain general XP, but offer alternate forms of advancement/rewards (maybe like the Vanguard "spheres"?).

I think there's just me and one other person in my guild who still regularly do the dailies and even I'm losing interest in them. The only pejorative in the term "hardcore" is the one you put there. Usage of it to describe time-spent is stupid. Like "Liberal" Do you play more than one game type regularly? Do you play games more than an hour or two every few days? Do you own more than one platform? Guess what. You're hardcore, baby. Usage of "Hardcore" to define someone who spends multiple hours is playing is stupid in the day and age where even average schlubs dick around with Angry Birds while waiting in lines and grannies who play Bejweled and Farmville for 3-4 hours a night. If gaming is your hobby and you lifestyle, you're hardcore. Doesn't matter how many hours you put in to it. |

Unless, you know, you are using the word to describe people who put a lot of time into one title, the title of topic.
