This patch didn't nudge me in any direction. But unless I get a nice big nudge in the positive direction this month, I am cancelling, yeah. Several games are coming out that I want to play, so I'll be taking a break from SWTOR unless things start to change.

After hitting rank 54 in valor with 24 bags and no drops, I think this might work for me. Although I am still concerned about the warzone credit bug and how big boy pvp on illum is still pretty much pointless. I am still somewhat considering resubbing. Seems like this might help get rid of the frustration.

Any other opinions?
You only got 24 bags at valor 54? i opened 8 bags from my weekly/dailies from yesterday, and two today so far, i'm at 70 champ comms already... the only thing thats more expensive is the MH, my last piece at valor 53 and i've bought way more than 24 bags just with merc/wz comms...

The fix is great, i even got my 5th implant in a champ bag today, still got both sets of comms in the bag too. 15cent and 7 champ, POW.

Cancelling. I like the game, but every patch to 'fix' user interface lag has made it worse for me. It is now outright unplayable - and I refuse to pay for that. Since PvP is the only thing that interests me at level 50, it also means that I just cant be bothered with this game anymore.

I will be dropping this game like a bad habit and never look back if they cant within that time frame.
Its rediculous that Illum wont run properly.
I have a 2 gig video card and 8 gigs of ram on my quad core computer and it still runs like crap on low settings.
Everytime there is a patch I cringe as it just makes the game run worse and worse for me.
When the game launched I could run about on max settings with over 100FPS and no lag.

Agreed.

Im cancelling too, Im not getting what I paid for and the game is heading in the wrong direction with each patch making it run worse.

Yep, exactly the same here.

Running the TERA beta on max settings and no lag, I have to wonder *** is going on with SWTOR's engine. How can it possibly run so badly with so little bells and whistles?

PvP was fun for the first month or so, but making it so that my skills activate 2 seconds after I press them has just taken any enjoyment out of the game for me. There was no spell lag at launch for me at all, then with every patch to 'fix spell lag' I got some more added. And my internet is 60 mb/s and other online games run flawlessly, so its not me SWTOR.. its you.

A single patch is not gonna change my opinion.

I paid three months, so I'll re-consider in three months. If I don't see decent PvP improvements by then, no more money from me. I'm not going to make the "it will get better" mistake again.

As said above, a single patch is irrelevant.
Even more so a patch wich provides a single good change, but somehow manages to break something wich was not affected in any way by the patch itself.


What I want to see in three months:

- I want to pick wich warzone to queue for
- I don't want to join losing warzones already in progress
- I want ALL my warzones to be 8v8. Not 6v8, not 8v12. If a team has too few players, the match ends. As said above, I DON'T WANT TO JOIN LOSING WARZONES ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
- I want all my victories to be counted for the daily.
- Class balance atm is...can't find proper words to define this monstrosity. Let's just say I want to see, on average, one of each class in a random team of 8. Not 4 sorcerers, 3 mercenaries and 1 something else.
- Ilum, just wow. I realize it's too hopeless to become enjoyable in three months, but I want to see some progress.
- I want to see some effort to improve faction balance.


All the above conditions must be fullfilled if they want more money from me.
With this patch they removed ONE idiocy: the RNG in pvp rewards. Still a lot of work if they want to keep some proper pvpers in this game.

Then go play that. Oh wait, it be old.

They aren't going to completely overhaul the entire game because of forum weiners want something different to what was shown over and over and over and over again for years.
