Unsuscribe already ? Top 2 things that would had made you stay

Hmmm, I'm not planning on quitting, so I'm not looking for anything to make me "stay", per se. But, my input on the subject:

I play on pvp, Anchorhead. So far, its been great. I don't generally roll on pvp servers in MMOs ( did in EQ2), so its been a relatively different experience for me which I have enjoyed.

I purposely chose the most crowded servers at launch to make my characters on. I knew there would be crappy queues to begin with, but I also knew that once launch settled down, I'd be playing on servers where grouping wouldn't be a hassle. Knew this from experience with other mmo launches. And so far, that has been exactly what I've had.

Things I would like to see happen to improve my enjoyment of the game:

1. High res textures need to be put back in as an option. They were there in beta, they worked fine. Even during the stress tests, they did not cause any issues whatsoever. I speak on this from first hand experience when I was in couple of the beta weekends, not heresay. I noticed the difference immediately once I logged into the early access client. Every argument I have seen bioware make regarding them being taken out is complete and total bullsh--. There is simply no reason these should not be available as an option in the graphics settings.


2. The lvl 50 pvp bracket. Dumb move. I really didnt understand this at all. I was queing up as a freaking level 10 for warzones, going up against geared 50s and holding my own just fine. I think what most people didnt understand was that your stats were buffed to match up to who you were in there with. Essentially, you WERE level 50 for the match. Now we have a dead 50s bracket.

Yeah level 10s were easily as good as level 50s. My level 10 had 30% expertise, loads of CC abilities and 18,000 hitpoints just like the level 50s.

Oh wait.

Would be great if that's the case, looking forward to loggin in and checking it out. The ability delay as a tank was damned rough at times.

Ilum and level 50 warzone queues were the last straw for me. Then I saw the operative/scoundrel nerfs and it just confirmed my decision. I maintain that they can get me back pretty easily though, just takes some competent design and some actual thought put into balance changes (IE - no nerfing the burst of a burst class without giving them a buff to their sustained damage in exchange).

The next live patch notes will give me the best idea of whether or not I want to resubscribe.

Did you bother to even check your stats? I'm guessing you didnt. My level 10 was in matches with around 15k hp.

quite literally, the only thing I was missing was the abilities you get from levelling. I had ZERO issues killing those oh so uber geared 50s.

Quite honestly, I was shocked. I only even queued up just to see what people were ************ about on the forums, because at face value... yea, a 10 vs a 50 sounds bad..... but that simply wasn't my experience at all. I fully expected to get steamrolled and my *** handed to me. I didn't. 13 matches of that later, I could not understand why people were complaining about it so much.

Then it hit me: Oh yea, I bet the 50s who are fully geared now want the gear-flow cut off so they can be special little snowflakes. More entitlement BS from the gen Y crowd.

Didn't unsub... I'm on a 3 month plan x 2 (me and wife).

I've mastered the ability to make and keep the game fun. It has enough elements to do this, really... you should explore this possibility.

I'm not unsubscribing but here are things that I hope to see improved. I've played many new released MMOs and they are always works in progress. Did WoW have a dps parser and dungeon finder at release? nope, dual spec? nope, customizable interface? Things like that although nice, do take time and will come in time. High res textures are comming back in 1.2 so do your research and stop whining about somethign they are already addressing. What I want to know is when are they actually going to fix these horrible Hardmode flashpoint bugs that uncontrollable whipe entire groups. It's bad when there's problems so bad you either have to find ways to bug a boss or skip it to progress in a dungeon. They made a move in the right direction for biochem and cybertech, but nerfing those two without adding patterns to the other profs to make them appealing still leaves them fundamentally flawed. Also randomized endgame pvp loot is a weird system. I know they are working o some of these items but there is very poor communication between the development team and us subscribers. I'd like to see a threat posted from bioware that says, "these are our current known ingame issues" then list those issues and give each of them a timeframe to be fixed. also have a button at the bottom to add more issues to that list.

Im suprised to see so many people are still supporting the game. At first I was happy to deal with all the bugs and problems because I understand it can't be easy to get it right at launch. But after each patch, more and more bugs pop up. And in the beginning I could put up with the loading screens, but now it is just becoming frustrating, especially when you enter a warzone from a planet and then end up at the republic fleet and have to go on the load screen adventure again.

I hope they fix the majority of the problems soon, because I want to enjoy the game again. But if it continues like this for much longer I don't think I will keep throwing money at it.

^ THIS.

It's a game. I play it because I enjoy it. So far - in 25+ years of playing games - I have never found "the perfect game". Every game has things that could be fixed/improved, even my all-time favourite games.

I'm enjoying SWTOR quite a bit. Until such time as that changes, I'll continue to subscribe.

OP: If you "enjoyed" your first month, why are you still able to post?

I'm absolutely sick of hearing people trash this game. This isn't SOE's forums, and we're not dealing with ******e SOE developers and forum mods. I played SWG, and I saw the bugs when that one launched.

I did my best to submit bug reports in beta for TOR, and I knew there would be issues when this game launced. Hell, I even knew the patches would bring more bugs than they fix. But, they will be fixed, with or without your subscription.

If you don't like the game, go play something else and keep your opinions to yourself, or, go to some MMO site with forums and trash the game there.
