Yes I'm up a bit to early, parenting is such a fun job. :-)
I do feel that things are being blown a bit out of proportion here. Yes this is a problem and needs to be addressed quickly. That is the real problem, that the response seems to be slow and indecisive. I have in fact canceled my subscription, but it's not some kinda ragequit thing.
Before this patch I was on the fence, on my server I've not had much luck doing anything at endgame. To few 50's running flashpoints, almost none it seems doing hardmodes that I can join. Do I need a different guild? Perhaps, but that's not the point. With my lack of endgame options, and my desire to have fun with my main character, I turned to pvp. Sadly most of the time I was in warzones with 1-3 50's on either side. Now with the bracket for 50 I can't do any warzones. It starts with 4 of us on my side 8 on imp, then stops because maybe one other 50 joined. So turn to Ilum for my pvp? Sure, in the evenings thats an option, my server rallied and stuck it to the imps, using gorilla tactics and being "smarter" we drove em out of our base, and backed em into a corner, we did not spawn camp, and stayed outside the base. And we were outnumbered. hehe It was fun, but the problem I have is I have more time on my hands then just evening, and during the day it is already hard to get anything done, this just sealed my fate to being forced to play alts if I want to play at all. Yes I'd like to play more story, but I don't want to have no other option.
Add that with the random load screens, and a framerate drop and I'm not a happy player. As for the AA thing being the cause, I had mine enabled before headstart was over. And disabling it gained me nothing. I don't know whats going on with the fps, but I'm super scrubbing my system to see if it's my side, though it seems only to be ToR and not any other game.
And yes, I have been at the forefront of other major mmo releases, so I know all to well of the problems most have. I accept problems this early in a game, though as a consumer we should only accept to much, broken products should not be sold and just "taken as is" so much. I can get past a few things, but it's how it is being handled by the company that finally pushed me away.
I will not dump the game forever, I'm sure Bioware will get it's act together, and I look forward to coming back and having fun again. But as the current situation stands I am going to go enjoy my free time playing other games.
I hope now that most have had a nice rest, people can calm down and stop jumping off the rooftops.
Yes a pvp gear imbalance can effect future gameplay, and should be addressed. But really, skill trumps gear. A rollback is not a good option here, for every 1 person who abused the system (and should be punished for not only exploiting, but greefing) there are what, 500 who didn't? What about all the work other people put into questing, crafting, warzones, flashpoints and perhaps even ops? Everyone should not be so selfish, there are solutions other then rollbacks, that would not hurt the many others that this will not even effect.
So, everyone try and have a good day today. Remember, the support staff on the forums here are not responsible for this problem, and they have their hands tied as far as how much they can say/do for us. Take it easy and don't rage out just because you can. Take it easy galaxy, hope to visit again once the endgame community on my server grows to an acceptable level.
