A DPS parser forced you to leave a video game?

That's ...

wow that's insane.

I like this game so far - not going anywhere soon, but it has huge problems, thats for sure. My 2 main issiues would be:

1. Ability dealy. As a pvp guy this is killing the game for me. How this passed beta testing is beyond my mind. After 6 years of pvp in WoW i was really used to abilities working after pressing a key. If this wont get fixed ill move on to greener pastures.

2. Terrible optimization. Maybe my rig isnt top of the line (im getting a new one soon, that doesnt change anything tho), but its well above minimum sys recs. While leveling everything works smooth like butter, but when i enter a wz hell breaks loose. Hutball is "playable" (slow but still), other wz (like that one with 3 turrets in middle, dunno how its called) is basicly a slideshow. And lets be honest, graphics of swtor range anywhere between medicore and flat out terrible (armor textures anyone?). Other new games, with graphics way ahead of swtor, like Skyrim, BF3, Deus Ex are working perfecly fine on high settings (except BF). Not to mention WoW, with everything maxed, except shadows, i can play 40v40 AV without any problems, while here my comp craps itself with 8 enemies on the screen.

There is a lot more wrong with this game like lack of addons, macros, no endgame, no dungeon finder and so on. But those 2 are imo the ones that drive away many new players.

The only way I would leave this game is if BioWare gave in to all the whiners and changed this game like Blizzard did to WoW.
Except that rarely ever happens. In my years of pugging dungeons in WoW I have never seen anyone in a pug rip on someone else about their dps. Maybe other guildies ribbing each other over it, but that is it. It is a fake problem made up by players who are scared to be accountable.

I find it funny that only a month into the games launch you are already /crying for new content, you know they say that game really starts at the endgame content, really its how you play the game to start with that really decides how your game experience will play out, I see a lot of you it was level my char to 50 and hope for endgame content to be in place. Never mind the fact that this is not WoW with 7yrs of trial and error to fix bugs and launch problems, not to mention the endgame content.

By all accounts im not a Bioware or EA fan nor do i work with them, i just know that if a game is going to get better it will take time, time that you all are not willing to wait for.

So GL all and flame on.

I did not care about the PVE part. I raided in other games and I am sick of it now.

Good, meaningful open world PVP / RVR would have let me stay, but PVP is pretty bad at the moment. I will check with the game later but at the moment the PVP part is not worth it.

Question: "Which 2 things would had made you stay?" - this is the premise that the title of the thread offers.

Answer:

4- Bugs

6- Many more bugs
Points 1 through 3 are an adequate answer, not that i agree with them since i find that MMORPG communities have become lazy ever since WoW introduced these "laziness endorsing" features. Thanks but no thanks.

The point i was actually making here though...look at answers 4 through 6 - so "bugs, more bugs and many more bugs" would had made you stay with the game???...for reference, check the title of the thread again. If you look closely enough this kind of "logic" applies to most of the whiners and trolls out there (not people who have valid arguments to make mind you).

To adress the OP though...im staying with the game and will be for a very long time i suspect. However, i do recognize its faults. Top 2 things that i would like to see fixed and would maximize my enjoyment: 1. ability delay and/or anything relating to optimization; 2. merging servers - for those servers that need it (low population and such).

I am more likely to win the lottery than quit SWTOR at the moment (not saying if I buy 1 ticket or 1 million, though).

But the things I would like to see are UI customisation and some performance (graphics FPS and network latency) issues sorted out.
I am telling the truth, honestly! I am as honest as the day is long! Besides, I am a terrible liar, everyone can see when I am lying - my lips are moving.
Like most other subs, I have a Referral Link. Clicking it gets you some stuff, and me some stuff too.

Your account of past PUGs has no bearing on every Raid ever done in WoW. To dismiss griefing over DPS etc just says youd rather deny its happened because then youd have nothing standing in your way of getting what you want.

If you do bad dps you don't belong in a raid. But feel free to continue to be bad.
