I am not going to go into specifics but there are issues facing dozens of U.S. Servers atm. There are several threads you can discuss those in. I am frustrated that content we were promised was put off, the test server isn't back up, and 90% of the Devs attention atm is Europe, Middle East, and Asia. The rated warzones being pushed back and the servers population status has made this game very unappealing to me atm.

I am glad the rest of the world is getting to experience SWTOR, but can't help but be frustrated at the lack of communication regarding the game breaking issues facing us here. The only communication we get is vague, "In the Future", "We are looking into it", "Some ways away".

Hopefully the Devs will make the U.S. server issues their real priority at some point, with daily communication about whats happening with them and what they are going to do to fix it.

Oh how wrong you are, European countries that did not get the game at initial release and Middle Eastern countries are getting the game, finally.

U.S has had more attention than any one country has so far, you know the downtimes are pretty much specifically timetabled for US players?

Asia/Oceanic transfers are first because they can't even play the game properly on EU/US servers, that is why.

Stop with the America First act already.

I'm not aware of a single thread that discusses issues facing U.S. servers that are not faced by servers in Europe and Asia. The one exception is some low-level grumbling about Asia-Pacific having server transfers from those who don't understand that the purpose of those transfers is to support the opening of the new servers.

How are these issues different between servers in the U.S. and servers elsewhere?

Yes, you are being reduced to nothingness as a US player. Gimme a break.

We pay less than others due to exchange rates and fees, we have better patch times(unless you only play during the graveyard shift). We also have greater access to any BW/SWTOR sponsored events.

Weep elsewhere.

what dev time are you talking about? they mailed some copies to more European countries. I doubt there was dev time spent packaging stuff up to sell in different countries.

I don't even know what this is supposed to me. Incidentally, in the UK, the subscription fee is lower than in the U.S.

The crashing due to high number of schematis is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming patch, so I don't understand how you can suggest that it is "being pushed to the back burner." And are you suggesting European and Asian servers don't have this bug?

This entire thread is nonsensical.

A known issue that wasn't found before release?... seems like something that should of been solved before release I mean it's not really hard to duplicate the problem and find out whats wrong.

Maybe because the USA isn't the center of the universe! Why should Bioware give all their attention to a fraction of the player base! The USA isn't the only country this game is in. Europe, The Middle East and Asia are MUCH bigger markets then The States.

Welcome to a none US focus world.

Just take a look at the Dev tracker where 90% of the posts for the last week don't relate to fixing any issues with the game currently. I don't see any post about whats being done to fix the issue with the U.S servers making all but a handful of them so unappealing. They don't appear to be making it a priority, asking questions, polling us, engaging in conversations about it.
