I just find it hard to believe that any MMO launched these days doesn't have a plan to deal with over population at the start and under population a few months in, it happens on every MMO. It is clear Bioware weren't ready to deal with non-existant economies, dead fleets, and lack of players and had some rose tinted glasses telling them their populations would only grow, so they only needed more servers. Well, I have unsubscribed and unless they merge before it runs out, I will look for another game, as by then, all the freinds I have made will have left as well. Would you believe they didn't have an option on their independent unsubscription survey to cover poor realm population, that is how blind they are to all this.

That has to be the dumbest idea ever, they are haemorrhaging subscriptions due to inaction already, MMO's mean you have to speculate to accumulate, and getting this wrong could mean the death of an excellent game.

Server transfers will kill the guilds on the underpopulated servers and that will be the end of a load more players. Unless they sort the population problems soon, "early summer" will come about and sign the final death warrant for many guilds and servers. My subscription expires in August, I shall not be renewing unless they merge servers quickly as I really do not want to be about when all the x-server transfers start getting announced "x has left the guild" times 50.

I have levelled 4 toons now, 1 of each, my first ended up with about 200k credits at level 50, every other toon has had 1milion + credits after leveling all crew skills and buying speeder level 3 plus aratech scythe. If you are running short of cash then you are doing something wrong, not to mention how much cash you make from dailies at level 50.

Server transfers are a great option for people who may wish to move to a server where IRL friends play, however, for guilds who are struggling to recruit due to lack of population and want to stay together as a guild, server merges are the best answer. Bioware can see the populations of the servers and merge optimally where as we as players cannot really judge this with any degree of certainty. Moving a whole guild cross servers also leaves you with issues regarding the guild bank that cost thousands to setup. IMHO this needs to happen quickly as I see more an more players getting fed up with low population servers, struggling to get groups for HMFP's and just generally suffering with a horrendous economy and GTM shortages. I really hope they can sort this soon, before they lose another 25% of subscribers, just due to their own complacency. If that happens it will be the beginning of the end imho, which is a real shame, as the content and gameplay is one of the best of any MMO's I have played.

So I am in the prison, well out of agro range of any mobs, but the moment I go into stealth, mobs spot me from a mile away and descend on me like flies round a dog pooh. What is that all about? Seems to be a problem in a lot of quests and though I am good even with XS flyby I cannot take out 3 groups with a strong in each Anyway, looking forward to the Scoundrel healing buffs, hope they can sort this little bug out as well :-/

Leveling a scoundrel now as healer, easy mode tbh

Yeah then it is worthwhile to maintain the refreshed upper hand, but personally, I prefer to not let my target get that low in the first place.

Very entertaining and fun to watch, haven't solo'd any 2+'s for a while, encourages me give some more a go. Flash grenade also works as an interupt in case you didn't realise

Fair point well made. My only 50 is a Jedi Sentinel, and they are quite hard to play well, Smuggler has felt a lot easier, but, like you say, at 50 it's a game changer. I look forward to trying it out, but many say it isn't as good as a Sage, maybe I will level one of those next

Gotcha, the first real answer

The second hits the moment the gcd ends, so yes, you can get 2 off in 1.5 seconds bar the odd millisecond of latency, and if you are gonna count latency, that is added to your next cast of any other heal as well. No it isn't simple, Kolto is stupidly expensive for the amount of heal, only a fool would use it over UWM and EM, but if you wanna blow energy and an UH then go for it.

I am now getting fed up of going through all the conversations for a solo quest only to find out at the end it is a heroic when I am trying to solo. Yeah it's an MMO, but if I want to join a heroic group and heal it, I can take the quests or they can be shared. I get this choice on a mission terminal, but not on an NPC. Please can you mark heroic quest givers accordingly so I can make an educated choice whether to sit through the dialogue or not? I am 3/4's of the way to my second 50 and it's been bugging me for a while now I am able to avoid flashpoints as a mouseover reveals "flashpoint courier"

Indeed

Not had this issue with my sawbones, I levelled a Jedi Sentinel and that went much slower than the sawbones.
