Many Star Wars games have had crappy sales; so your point is invalid.

Actually you are wrong; SWTOR is still the fastest selling MMO ever, it has won 3 GOTY awards in less than a month and it has the highest retention rate after the initial 30 day than any other MMO. So no there really aren't any comparable launches.

Again invalid.

Yeah I found out it really annoys people...working as intended.

I feel like they are really trying to improve this game, of course they made some mistakes during this process but nonetheless, generally everything is getting better!

in every patch i find something, i felt should be improved, and then it does.

except from class balancing (which is an ever ongoing process), most the things are fine, and even balancing is ok, it is not completly broken.

tl:dr

keep up the good work BW, you will get there, because at least i can see how hard you are trying.

Thank you. Every time I see conversations about TOR I can't help but think people are forgetting it has been out for 1-2 months, not counting their Beta. How could you expect everything to be shiny and polished from day one? Quality Assurance only goes so far...

Anyway, it's nice to see somebody who can take a step back, see TOR in a larger picture of gaming and still enjoy it.

Looking forward to seeing what comes next, to be honest.

I agree. I can play any game fine, but this game runs like a slideshow even on low settings. WZs are unplayable for me. Loading screen times are absurd. There are so many obvious glitches and problems that people have been constantly mentioning. Seriously, why can I not abandon half my quests? I find it really hard to believe they are trying, and if they are, they are not trying enough. They even break more than they fix with patches, and we have to pay monthly for this.

Whatever they are "trying" to do, it's too little too late.

The only people who don't realize this are the delusional fanboys who buy into propaganda like "fastest growing MMO of all time" (derp) and paid for reviews.

"Runs like a Slide-Show"
You can either complain here or fix your problems. There a LOT of solutions out there. It will take some time. But if you have modern hardware the game can run well. When you find what works, post a positive thread with exactly how you did it and Bioware will be that much faster at fixing things.
Am I saying you should fix their game? YES
Or just wait and they will get it done eventually.

WoW was floundering, they implemented add ons to show them which way to go. Any add on that is really popular is a candidate to become game code. Here we only have the forums, but the principle is the same. There are millions of us and hundreds of them.

Are they trying? yes
Do they need direction? yes
Are they listening? Mr 8Ball says "it is certain"
I am DOOA;
much have I seen, but little have I done.

read my last post? Didnt think so. Every game I have ever played runs perfectly fine on my PC except this, even on low settings. And I am FAR from the only one with problem.
