I really love Bioware games as well as SWTOR, so i'm going to give you guys a chance to learn from your mistakes before its too late. Dev's should read this an take it to heart. I'll try to be short an sweet: The Bad: 1. Dead Servers - Transfers coming? You need Mergers, I shouldnt have to pay to xfer my toons. You should offer it to me as an incentive to stay. 2. Stale World - I've loved this game for this time i've spent on it, but honestly I've been playing Aion this last week and it's world is more Alive an breathing then Swtor.. Music is consistant, day an night cycles, the World just feels alive. Swtor feels like Mass Effect, one play through is enough to see it all, Legacy doesnt fix this. 3. Bug Priority - I've put in countless tickets about bugs in End-Game content, HK-47 is broken in FoundryHM, SOA is STILL bugged after knowing about it for 5months. You guys fix all kinds of bugs nobody knows about till patch day, but your EndGame content still needs a can of RAID(pun intended). 4. Promises, Promises - You say you have one thing coming in X patch, then it comes half-*** or not at all.. really? 5. World Pvp - Epic Fail. That is all. Aion has better World Pvp then Swtor, Aion is FTP now.. o.0 6. WoW Clone + Mass Effect = Swtor - You guys wanted to play it safe(for the shareholders or EA?), and use what you know works, unfortunatly this is not enough when combined with the above mentioned problems. This game did not try to break the mold at all, you just spent way to much time on VO an not enough on creating a Unique experience. So we get a great story with heavy Immersion, but as far as replayability, It's just WoW and ME, nothing new here. Check out Guild Wars 2 an you'll see what i mean about breaking the mold. The Good: This is what you did right, and what, if you try to fix this game, you should keep. 1. Combat - Immersive, mostly Fluid, No auto-attack, Pretty = A+ 2. Story - VO + Immersion + LS/DS points + Good use of Illusion of Choice = A 3. Questing - Same as above = A 4. Space Combat - Not as good as it should of been, but flying around on your ship kicking butt in space is awesome regardless. = B+ 5. Warzones - Huttball is an awesome idea, the others are pretty standard but they are all pretty fun unless your team is full of fail. Okay so to recap, my opinion of what you need to do before you have to go FTP: 1. Merge All low pop servers until you average medium to full pop on all servers. 2. Make the world come alive. 3. Innovate 4. Fix game breaking and End Game bugs BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE IN REGARD TO RELEASEING CONTENT. Peace out, I'll check back each patch an I will return when this game is worthy, or Ftp, whichever comes 1st. Thank you for an awesome experience.

I have to admit, i have been an avid, if not Rabid defender of this game to all my friends and family.. but after 5 months of being generally dissapointed, and after watching the GW2 Beta weekends and seeing how innovative that game will be for the genre, I have cancelled my account as well(Currently on the free month; which im not even playing) Reasons are as follows: 1. Low-Pop servers make the legacy-alt system worthless. Who wants to level a legacy alt on a server with less then 15people on the fleet at any given time. 2. Wow-clone. The few things they did in this game differently then wow really make this game better then WoW for me an probably alot of other players. ex: a) No auto-attack b)story/LS/DSoptions c)legacy d)crafting. These things really make the game better then WoW for me, but sadly they copied to much from WoW, just like Rift, and they did not take enough risks to make this game really next-gen. 3. No World-PvP. Nuff said on this. 4. Stale World. Nothing is alive, its all pre-scripted and bland. Theres more but i dont wanna spend anymore time here. Good luck in improving the game, maybe ill come back in a year or so depending on what you guys do. See you all at GW2 launch.

I havnt posted on these forums since the great forum wipe of launch. But this post made me decide it was time to log in an post my 2cents. Basically this game is amazing. But without other players to do things with, it becomes nothing. The fact that the devs have not addressed this as a real issue, an are hoping that 1.2 draws in these long lost players and re-populates these barren servers is just unacceptable. Pride commeth before the fall or so i hear, and i feel like the pride of the devs is preventing them from seeing the truth here... WHAT GOOD IS LEGACY IF LEVELING ALTS MEANS I HAVE TO PLAY WITH 12 PEOPLE ON THE FLEET AN LESS THEN THAT ON EACH AND EVERY PLANET ON THAT SERVER? I recently abandoned my level 15 legacy an my lvl 30ish alts as well as my lvl 50 assassin on my server, Darth Xedrix, because i literally cannot get a group going for ANY of the flashpoints beyond the esseles or black talon respectively. My guilds raiding progression has all but ceased completly due to people just not loggin in anymore an the lack of the ability to recruit replacements due to no new lvl 50s joining our server. Instead i have started two new toons on the still heavy pop server known as The Swiftsure. On this new server the populations on the starting zones is usually above 60players and on my old server is was under 10 players at PEAK times. TLDR: BIOWARE THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM! PRETTY PLEASE CAN YOU JUST MERGE ALL THE LOW POPULATION SERVERS TOGETHER AND SAVE THIS GAME!?? I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO W.O.W. BUT HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PLAYING ALONE AN STARTING OVER COMPLETLY IS REALLY LAME! JUST SIGN IN TO ANY LIGHT or STANDARD POPULATION SERVER AN TRY TO GET A GROUP TOGETHER FOR ANY FLASHPOINT ABOVE LEVEL 16! YOU'll FIND ITS IMPOSSIBLE! Seriously dude.. why does your pride come before the needs of making this game thrive..? Your options are to either merge servers, offer free transfers, or watch the populations on every server except the 3 whom are "heavy+" die off completely. PUT THE MMORPG BACK IN SWTOR.

^This is the only problem i have with stealth on my Assassin. And this ^ is extremly annoying as it make me feel like a total ****** to facepull cuz i was in stealth. Also once the big orange is on you, unstealthing doesnt stop the boss from facepulling you. NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE AND ITS EXTRA LAME. Aside from that stealth works perfectly for me, and i love it very much. So much in fact that its difficult to play a toon who can't stealth now. >.<

Epic post.

I cant find the bug report section of the forums so ill just post this here and hope it gets moved. When my group, typically of guildies, runs flashpoints and we Wipe on a boss(1st time trying it usually) and that particular boss has a Chest for its loot. The loot box bugs and it will not open when the boss dies. This only happens when an if we wipe, and only if the boss has a chest for its loot. Please fix this. Even though my particular group of friends will most likely not experience this much longer(unless raid bosses have Chests for loot) it's still a pain in the neck. On a brighter note, Thanks for an awesome game.

/signed Charge a fee of in-game credits or allow a one time free rename OR... When you get a NEW toon through chapter 1 allow the option to CHANGE the surname for that server by THAT toon, therefore changing it for ALL toons on the server including the FIRST toon you got it on. What does this mean? We ALL know our first toon is the one we LEARN the game on, then when we reroll we kinda do everything a little, or sometimes alot, better then the first go around. Including but not limited to, nameing them. So, it's a reasonable and simple fix. Anytime you level an Alt through chapter 1, you get the option to change the legacy name/surname for all toons on the server. Bam! A reasonable and probably simple solution.

the music that does play isnt boring. it just doesnt play very often. when it does, its great. but i agree they should add more, or an option for more.

so far as i can tell there is only a change for dark side. Light side retains the original look. look up dark 5 corruption on youtube/google and you can find some comparitive pics.

HIGH IM HIGH AND IM HIGH! .... Sup dude.

I was thinking the same thing. Good opportunity for a group of ******es to own if they role republic.

It plainly says it might run longer then that. Im guessing you neglected to read that part?

Oh cool thanks, i hope so!

Actually it IS possible to be an adult(young albeit - 25) and Not be a Grammer/language Nazi. Bizarre I know. It's also possible to assist people on the internet without being a "Troll" or for you older folks, rude. Furthermore, Saying "2marrow" instead of "tomarrow" is not wrong/rude or otherwise negative. Language is not written in stone, therefore, you may, at any time, alter/change/pervert/adjust or otherwise play with it anytime for any reason. This, to some extent, is what makes us human, Creatively altering life in whichever way we see fit. Its in our nature...some of us anyways. *********** Soz mayhaps we will get new serverz 2mally?
