1. fps problems and graphics lag on most systems, even new ones.
2. bugs in class quests and some that make it impossible to even log in ie: the 33% launcher bug
3 dead servers... 20 people on or less during primetime.. right.. lets do 16m HM OPs ... LOLZ?
4. denial from bioware that they screwed the pooch on 1.2 by not fixing fps and issues stated above.


My old server the razor is dead.. usually less than 20 on prime time.. the ONLY time we have hit any kind of respectable pop was the day 1.2 hit.. 120 on fleet then... FOR ONE DAY.. when they saw the lag was still there and the content wasnt fixed.. they left and havent been back. 99% of the time there are less than 10 people on fleet and we still have YET to see a server xfer... so once again bioware screwed the pooch on this... GG bioware GG

I am trying this transfer prior before quitting the game. Which I was actually about to do until someone gave me a 60 day game card for my birthday.....So I'll give it one more attempt to impress me.

On every planet that I am on, maybe..........MAYBE atmost 10 are on the same planet since the past like month, two months. I haven't encountered any other player other than on board the Republic Fleet Space Station. Unless you are into PvP, the whole RP section in the game is dead. And that is why I went for this game. With SWG ending just to feed these servers, I do miss SWG...................

But a big part is, I get bored to death IN this game. You have no one to play with cause simply no one is there. Like I said, the past months have been like 10 people AT MOST, per PLANET!!!!!
I play mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights (no I'm not a game junkie playing 24/7, I work highly irregular shifts so get to be on irregularly times ) but no matter when I play, the game (or at least this server) is pretty much deserted. If I look at the overall server list, everything is like LIGHT GREEN populated Maybe one or two STANDARD YELLOW servers. I've witnessed only two servers PvP that were full. The other like 50 globalwise servers are just that. Either green (95%) or yellow (the other 5%) Makes me wonder if people still like the game.

I have to be honest, the game does not really (or at least that's my experience on the server I'm on) invite you to do roleplay. You can't really interact with the surroundings or carry multiple people in a vehicle or get them on a spaceship and do interactive things there, like you could do with Star Wars Galaxies. So what's the point of RP if you can't RP.

So I am going to give this game another 60 days, or until I truly bore out and can't help it no more but just quit it. I'm only staying right now cause someone was nice enough to give me a 60 day game card for my birthday and did not want to see it refunded. If it wasn't for that.............I would have quit by now to be honest and to be honest, I think I have to disappoint my friend for this nice gesture of a gift, but one that was totally useless.

Your whining about so an so people amount on fleet prime time is irrelevant as we are in middle of a transfer project. The graphical issue is easily solved on 90% of the cases by turning of antistrophic filtering.

Try again.

I think the problem is also that we don't marry TOR, so if this lil b* annoys us, asks for too much patience, ppl say f* u and walk to the next one Seriously now, I'm trying to keep up faith and stick around but with new MMOs appearing, its always a certain level of temptation, especially if you have certain grips with a game.

I don't think that it has to be anything that you hate that makes a person unsub. Its when things quit being fun. It can be because you have done it multiple times or because you have to wait to find a group or it can be because the people that you played with have left. Me personally, my account is up 6-21 and I'm giving serious thought to cancling. Part of my issue is aggravated with the whole transfer process. Tired of people telling me to be patient. I haven't been able to really have fun in this game for a few months due to population issues. I know that people say that transfer are going to fix that. But it maybe to little to late. I have lost confidence in Bioware fixing things in a timely fashion. I mean they are talking about raising the level cap when they haven't been able to fix many of the problems. How long should a person wait? Six months? A year? I for one see nothing wrong with people leaving the game had a chance to be, and in many ways it is, really good but after a while people grow tired of waiting.
I know that people will say well they just started transfers but really thats a perfict example of the problem, population was a major issue 4 or 5 months ago. I'm not a program so I don't know how long it takes to get something done. All I know is if I wait 4 or 5 months to fix problems on my job I will be looking for a new one. They are taking to long to fix issues in this game and many people are looking for a new one.

whats weird is that the person that posted after him did it one minute after and quoted a different post than.

Whats the chances of a thread being necroed basically at the same time?
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?
