I am one of those who have already unsubbed and have been waiting the forums in a chance to see some type of communication from Bioware other than "Herp Derp Thread Closed".

Some of the issues I had are the same as others yet since I am a late night player on a East coast server I hardly ever see anyone on the planet I am on. I am a level 43 empire player and all the planets past Balmora have maybe 10-12 people empire side at most.

Not only this, but gg trying to get anything going other than Huttball late night. From what I have seen is Empire out weighs Republic on my server by a huge amount and when the highest number of players on a planet is maybe 40-60 well that is just sad..

Not only do we have long warzone ques, but my Sith Assassin does what I call the ability fake.. It is when my character pretty much does the shuffle while trying to use one instant cast ability. That or the person I am chasing is lagging/i am lagging to the point where they are flying across the map.

I do not mind the gear system as of yet, I am not 50, but I do have a champion bag plenty of merc/warzone comms those do not seem to be the issue if assassin just put on Dark Charge throw a bubble on someone get 3+ protector medals then switch back to surging charge and go kill some people. That alone I end of with 8+ medals a warzone.

Another thing this should be renamed to "Star Wars: The old load screen".. Load screens plus instanced everything, makes immersion very hard. Not only that I haven't done a FP since Black Talon due to the fact no one ever A. wants to do them or B. Is not high enough.

There are plenty of other issues, including UI bugs/guild page bugs. My game freezing. Huge fps drop rate(30 fps+) in Warzones.

Also no I am not re rolling republic the whole point of having your own character is to play what you want. No I am not switching servers don't want to level another character this soon (I hate alts).

The one huge factor many people saying "LOLOLOLOLOL Leave I don't care" is that. 1. Bioware has made no money off this game as of yet and 2. many people myself included who got the game for Christmas as a gift or bought it and are unsubbing is that we talk to other people.. Marketing not only counts on your ability to sell your product, but also on your Good Name. I love ME and other Bioware games, but this has been a let down and when asked by people what I think I tell them. Many of my friends did not purchase it due to people including myself saying they don't like it. Not everyone reads IGN or meta-critic reviews.

I will continue to check back and when they update/fix maybe I will come back maybe not. To all the fan boys I am glad you don't care as I don't care about you. I will continue to give my opinion to people I know which as of now it is a bad opinion and I will continue to not-recommend this to anyone that ask me. Maybe you don't care and no I am not a expert, yet the people who ask me care.

Word of mouth is a very powerful marketing medium. Companies invest millions in social networks for that reason alone.

Wait till someone writes a full blown review pointing out all the things that suck and when it goes viral.

It's pathetic and hilarious how complaints about lack of content are flying everywhere when the game was literally just released. I advise Bioware to completely ignore this thread, as taking any advice from all the whiners here will only rush and hurt the game. SWtOR is amazing with it's current status and rate. It should stay that way.

They should add some gear loss on death, like Asheron's Call, you drop a random item from your inventory. Always made PVP a lot more interesting

I agree, the death penalty for this like wow is stupid at its current state, if I am in a area and I need to go back to turn a quest in and don't feel like traveling. /dismiss companion, /find big mob, /dance, death and respawn at med center..

keep paying this company so they can release more crap games for you in the future...
cause obviously you enjoy these WoW kiddie games coming out more and more in the past decade.

as a bioware employee once said "people are well.... idiots"
And your entire post fails because you claim this game has "better looking graphics". Means no MMO experience whatsoever.

Let me guess? An all time Star Wars fan?

To call this amazing, makes me wonder what kind of games you played before. If you gave a 486 based computer to a neandrathol I am sure he would find that machine amazing as well. Would it be amazing to anyone else in the modern world? I don't think so.

Dont forget the WoW syndrome people, alot of WoW players cant stay away from their shot longer then a few weeks before they go mentaly ill.

Also dont forget that WoW players are used to some easy mode stuff.

LFD - Looking for Dungeon - queu up from anywhere wait till you get a popup messege join group and get rewarded.

LFR - Looking for Raid - Latest bosses and end game contend nerfed to oblivion and can be cleared with handicappedwar veterans with down syndrome.

Battlegrounds - Get Valor points and get those epics mailed in a box right at ya.
You can even afk for it and watch youtube.

DOnt leave any city but just slack somewhere preferbly at the vendors that sell gear for valor or honor points, no need to leave that position as World of Instacraft makes sure you get geared in 1 day.


SWTOR is diffrent in this regards and sometimes you need a lot of runs to get a particular item and you need to spam /1 between 5 / 30 min to get a group to even enter a flash.
PvP in SWTOR consists of join queue leave queue rinse and repeat untill the instand queue falls off or you get d/c.

THis game will make it trough, but how big it becomes depends on the developers holding on to the current playerbase and fix all the major stuff before the free month is gone and a mass exodus begins.

I don't understand people wanting to leave this game, I'm a WoW veteran and I've never had so much while playing this game compared to WoW, I can never go back to that game after I've played this.

I like the fact their is no LFD/LFR in this game and would love to try more content. Yet when your one of 10 level 40s to 50 on at the moment it is hard. Level 50s don't want to do anything other than max level FPs and Ops. A good bit of the 40s only want to do pvp and the rest is a mix match of dps. It has so far been impossible to get a group at night unless you want to do Hammer Station.

Half the time I am kicked from warzones back to the character select screen the other half I lagg so bad less than 14 fps that I can barely move. This is sad when I can run Max settings 50+ fps every where else.
