Shares of Electronic Arts Inc. fell nearly 3% to $17.75 on Thursday morning after an analyst with Brean Murray Carret & Co. cut his price target on the stock to $22 from $28, citing concerns about the recently released online multi-player game "Star Wars: The Old Republic." In a note to clients, analyst Todd Mitchell wrote that "creeping concerns" about the performance of "Star Wars" -- which was released in late December -- is causing him to trim his earnings estimates for the 2013 fiscal year. "Specifically, initial sales appear to be below expectations, and casual observation of early play is causing us to rethink our churn assumptions," Mitchell wrote.

I can play on a measley Dell Inspiron M5010 laptop...

You can still play, Now maybe there are the few who cant even launch the game period. But 9/10 times they have no clue what theyre specs are and how old it is. Horrid FPS, doesnt mean you cant play. I play comfortably with 20 - 30 FPS, i read ppl who complain like that is basically a slideshow which is BS.

Actually, Swifty had to buy a whole new computer to play the game.

You know, I had held out hope that Bioware may have survived the EA acquisition...I should have known better.

Bioware is just scared because once they release the crap patch for Illum they realized they completely screwed the pooch. now the day after they are offering us a reason to keep playing. a reason to stay to see what they do to fix their problems... but the fact is, they are going to lose the REAL founding members because of their lack of skill in making this stuff work.

Bioware. you have potential, but you keep going down hill. kill the game for 4 more years, and release it again when you have all the kinks worked out, or simply stop catering to one side.

Oic, still, im not gonna sit here and say i didnt expect the game to have flaws, to go out and buy a whole new rig now? thats kinda outrageous. But im sure Swifty could afford it. If you cant run the game, by all means unsub and dont pay for something u cant play, no ones forcing u, i feel for the ppl who honestly cant play at all. But the majority are just impatient ppl who have no idea that MMOs never come out perfect like say a console game.(and if u are familiar with MMOs and still expect flawlessness then your in the wrong) Its always a work in progress, the fps issue may or may not be fixed sooner, or later. Im just willing to stick it out. The sad thing is we are the minority and we wont get recognized (aside from the Founder title), and the nay sayers will be able to come back when the game is more optimized without putting in a dime towards the improvement.

Then please, let me enlighten you some.

Or perhaps you want links to the nvidia site where users give far more technical information on the problems? I can provide that also.

Maybe you think I'm one of those that have no clue what my "specs" are? Or perhaps you think I simply don't know enough about computers to properly analyze the problem? Perhaps you would like to see some logs, you might be able to make more sense of them than me? I will include some if you would prefer.

I think before you start talking about other people exaggerating you should first get a crash course on many of the problems. Perhaps even read some of the issues where nvidia has hinted that the actual game is causing many of the problems. Hell even the devs admitted they were having issues with ati.

edit
This is just me personally, but I can't stand it when someone uses "u" in place of you. Are those two extra keystrokes really so much? Consider the price of perception. By simply applying two more keystrokes you gain the benefit of not looking like someone that has had more than a 5th grade education.
Try hard is now an insult? At what point did our society degrade so much that trying hard is an insult? What's next? People who perpetuate this idea of "trying hard is a bad thing" are only hurting our society as a whole. They should be removed from it, forcefully if required. You don't randomly allow a cancer to grow, you excise it.
