Will there be any more servers announced today?

Please show that barren wasteland, Dreshdae Cantina, some love Bioware! I've already forgotten how to play as a Vanguard and I was damn good at it too! -
Free Character Transfers Now Available On Select Servers
Arsynic replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
Great. I get a notice that I can transfer my gimped Consular on Keller's Void to a new server...after I gave up and re-rolled a new Consular on Fatman. No thanks, Bioware. If you can hook up Dreshdae Cantina, that would be great. -
Character Transfer, Server Populations and You
Arsynic replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
Thank Gawd. I loved my Trooper Vanguard and I was just getting into the thick of things but the lack of server population caused me to re-roll another character on a high pop server in anticipation of the character transfer. This is very good news to me. -
I have a Sith Maurader on The Fatman and a Jedi Shadow on Keller's Void and it's like I'm playing two different MMOs. One's a vibrant community and a perfectionist dream as I'm +3 levels ahead of all my objectives because I completed all FPs and Heroics with no problem finding groups. The other is a barren wasteland where I might see another real person now and then. My character is struggling as I'm left to complete a class storyline that I'm underleveled for. The Republic Fleet might have 50 people on it and all I'm left to do to get some money and XP is to play Warzones, which I absolutely hate. Especially when it's mostly ****ball. It just feels dead. So I'm left to shelve my 2 month investment of time and energy and focus on a new character. Has anyone else basically had to quit playing a primary character due to a low population?

Give me a legitimate reason to NOT have a LFD tool.
Arsynic replied to EvilTrollGuy's topic in General Discussion
I just don't see this. When I type "LFG" and I get PMs asking for an invite, I don't perform a damn job interview to make sure they're a "good fit". As mentioned earlier, I've had great groups (added friends afterward) and horrible groups with people who button mash and die constantly. How would a better LFG system be any different? One method provides random people that you don't know and the other system includes random people that you don't know. -

A-freaking-men. But the MMO elites will tell you that you shouldn't be playing the game. The fact that you can only play for an hour makes you a "casual" (read: leper). They want to make sure that the world they invest so much time and effort into isn't ruined by people like us who have no choice but to invest our time in RL pursuits. I wonder if EA and Bioware could survive with just this hardcore, elitist minority. The only choice I think BW has is to either nerf content so that people can play most of the content solo or include a LFD tool. At the end of the day, appealing to the broadest audience keeps the light on and milk in the bellies of Bioware babies. But I'm sure the vocal minority would rather spend $1,000 a month for a subscription than accommodate the unwashed masses. I mean, they might as well spend a mortgage payment on a sub since they can afford to sit around for 3 hours LFG. I have a full-time job and a family. The clock starts ticking as soon as I click "Login". -

I approve this thread. Especially the point about bad players. I had someone QQ and rage-quit because we died a couple of times early on in a Heroic due to some miscommunication. I put this group together after 30 minutes just sitting there during my baby's two hour nap. The Heroic took an hour and a half to complete all of the bonuses plus having to selectively isolate mobs that three people could beat. Halfway near the end of the Heroic, my baby was up and hungry. So even doing things the "social" way, I got the worst of both worlds, a long *** wait and a perfectionist who QQ 5 minutes into the Heroic. Some folks don't have one hour to spend looking for "the right people" especially when that's not guaranteed. The low server pops seriously exacerbate this issue. Sure I can skip Heroics but I don't level as quickly. I had to abandon Balmorra due to the TEENS of people on at prime time. -
The shorter a fight lasts, the greater chance a Maru comes on top. However, in a battle of attrition, a Maru loses every time. I'm at lvl 27 and I'm still just learning what chains put out enough DPS to fck up mobs quickly.

A party member of mine decided to challenge me to a duel while we waited for the rest of the party to come to the Heroic area. I obliged. I had my pocket healer, Quinn, with me. My party member is a Merc and immediately knocks me down with his mortar(?) attack. I get up and try to attack but all my attacks are greyed out--for the duration of the fight. My rage is at ZERO I can't attack. I can't even do a Vicious Slash because it greyed out. However, his health was dropping massively and eventually I beat him. Was this a bug? I know that Quinn couldn't have DPS him down while trying to heal me. Has anyone else run into the issue where all of your attacks are greyed out but somehow you beat an opponent? I don't think anyone could spam interrupts like that. It was weird. If I didn't win, I would have been pissed off. The funny part was that the guy QQ about me having a healing companion. I don't know about you, but Quinn can't keep up with PVP level, so that was a non-starter. I think he got beat by the same bug that paralyzed my Marauder.

Disappointed by the size of the "fat" female option.
Arsynic replied to Gimpulse's topic in General Discussion
It would be hard to find gear in the game for fat women. Although I could swear I saw a Lane Bryant on Tatooine... -
Have you ever played with a Sith Maurader? Lag city!!!

Leave my space combat alone. It's just a fun little arcade shooter to get some XP between stops. I don't want to play X-wing.

Leveling - Too Slow? Too Fast? Just Right?
Arsynic replied to Frostbird's topic in General Discussion
And speeder skill prices on top of that. -
Keller's Void is a ghost town these days so I rolled a Sith Warrior on Fatman and it's like night and day!
