It's easy to unsub when you can't log in to your main. Finding the unsub button gives you something to do while they still try to figure out what it was they broke...

Cant get into my main..
going to unsub , just installed guild wars.

I feel like ive been used by bioware, and enver felt they cared about community at all.

When I played lord of the rings i felt a genuine love for the community and their players from the development team. The GMs were there with you in game, sometimes walking about talking to you, saying hi, and sorting out issues in game in person.

To have some robotic crap response isnt funny, isnt emmersive, its a cop out framed in the way of trying to be authentic. Just an excuse for being lazy.

Ths is by far the worst customer service and lack of effort and heart of ever seen from a development team, it seems like the people who make the game don't even play it.
The lack of content is just unbelieavble, we are expected to run flashpoints for when we have full campaign or black hole gear, when the flashpoints have no rare drops, not even lvl 58 gear.. no nightmare mode on them. (surely that woudlnt have been too hard.. nightmare mode + some new gear? dont even redo the instance just tweak it).

So much wasted content that doesnt add to end game... 4 pvp warzones and no ilum..

that isnt pvp thats just pathetic.
So many things could save this game, but they seem incapable of doing any of them and would rather throw black hole coms at you like candy and as many pets are you want! ahh yes pets thats right that will keep me in game... along with my sage skirts ... sure.

I hate to be negative but ive tried to be positive for a long time about this game and thought good things take time.

But it isn't. This is bioware putting minimal resources into a game to extract the last few cents it can out of it rather than fix what had potential.
I guess this game just isnt FOTM down at EA headquarters anymore aye..

Unsubscribed, with 15 days game time available.

Oceanic player > Obtained through amazon during American launch > fanboi.

I made a thread earlier today asking if they were ever going to do anything about world pvp. the thread was removed with no explanation, probably because I said I would unsub if they kept their silence on the issue any longer.

I made a comment on another thread, which was discussing about oceanic server mergers. The thread has also disappeared, possibly because there was some comparison between gw2 and swtor, and well, you can guess which game came out on top .


All it would have taken for Bioware to keep me subbed, like I have been despite the way Bioware treated the APAC players at launch and going through countless hours of refreshing Mr. Reids twitter page and going through some ridiculous and sometimes amusing ******** from the Amazon CSR's, the excitement and frustration on the forums as to whether or not one would receive a copy of the game, and even if they did, would they be able to play it [ISP bloc ]... I stayed through all that... Well anyway, all it would have taken was for Bioware to communicate its plans and pay attention to the pvp community as well.

I most likely would resub, because I am addicted to the damn game just to see my sith warrior with his purple saber kill ****. But then, the novelty of that would wear off pretty soon. So, thats what I have to say.

My server is dying and my character server request rejected.

While they promised to deliver better gameplay experience, i feel worse gameplay experience.

I dont see any reason to keep subscribing.

Today was supposed to be the day my account got billed for another 30 days, I cancelled my sub so I can save my $15. The community interaction is just atrocious, maybe because they dont want to interact with the angry community but ignoring a problem isnt the way to solve it. Unless you're Eaware apparently. The game performance has just taken a dive lately to the point of being borderline unplayable (30 sec-2 min server wide lag spikes anybody?). The server population just continues to drop, especially with GW2 out. Im bored of all the content seeing as though ive been farming the same crap for months. Them even considering to charge subscription players for planet Makeb is just a flat out insult. They cannot keep a single promise it seems, where is HK-51?!?! Not that i really care about another companion but they were shoving him in our face nonstop then all of a sudden....nothing.

TO BE CLEAR, I DIDNT UNSUB BECAUSE THERE'S A $15 MONTHLY FEE, IM UNSUBBING BECAUSE THE GAME ISN'T WORTH $15 A MONTH.

I hope this game somehow manages to turn around because I did actually have alot of fun for awhile. It's like a half built apartment and im paying rent for it. If they even take 10% of what the community suggests and puts it into action, i might come back but I doubt it since they're so dead set in driving this game into the ground.

1. Game is too linear - due to my characters story, I have to go to a specific planet, there is no choice.
2. PvP - No open world PvP and the battlegrounds are frankly boring. Games like this need large open PvP areas or battlegrounds that are fun . AV in WOW (especially vanilla) was a fun place to be, the game needs more of that. As well as the open world objectives that WAR had.
3. The whole light side/dark side thing took away any sense of choice in the cutscenes. so cut and dry/boring. Cut scenes are good, but make the choices more interesting. It's all so lacking in depth.
4. Graphically, the game is very dated.
5. Balance - this is a common issue with MMO's but I had hoped by now it would be better. My main was a sentinel, but I never had a chance in the BG's. Where as the scores with my smuggler were always in the top 10%.

Overall I think what BW have created is just too shallow, the game and the characters never had any depth, I never felt invested in them. There is no community, no big groups of people hanging round just chatting(Ironforge anyone?) , comparing gear, and the whole AH was obviously designed by a child.
I've only just got round to unsubbing, but in truth I haven't logged in once over the past 2 months, and haven't missed it for a second. I'm gonna try GW2, but not in any rush.

It's all so lacking in depth. I also hate how you have to be full dark/light in order to have some of the best stuff. I would like to be dark I and still get the best items. Also there needs to be more for those in grey(which they said they will implement but have yet to do so.

I was lazy so i decided to just highlight what i agreed with you on SOME of the problems I had with the game. Basically there isn't enough sandbox elements for me personally. Not saying that I want the whole game to be sandboxy, but some more sandbox features here and wouldn't hurt the game

1. I will be un subbing soon due to class balance. The DPS consular is very mediocre at best compared to low level ranged characters and other DPS melee. I only play the consular, so I'll be moving on soon if BS don't do something. It seems they hate consular players and how they look.

2. Costs of repairs and mod removal really puts the hurt on other perks I would like to get. For example I want a purple/black light saber, but I'll never see Denova and it cost too much on the trade market.

3. Accessibility to high level content. For the average joe, we will never it it.

This game should have been BUY-TO-PLAY from the very beginning, just like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Battlefield 3, and John Madden Football 2013.

Since it has already been decided that the game will be switching to a Free-To-Play revenue model I will give you my opinion on how I would like to see FTP implemented into SWTOR, I am a possible future customer after all.

1) EA should charge players for FUTURE class missions, FUTURE planets, FUTURE flashpoints, and FUTURE operations. I see this as being no different than EA charging for DLC in single player games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age. There should be no limits placed on Free Players access to or participation in CURRENT or FUTURE warzones or PVP Planets.

2) EA could generate revenue by charging players for cosmetic items. Cosmetic items should be limited to things like mounts, NON-STAT gear, and appearance tab expansion slots.

3) How about charging players for character modifications? Character modifications would be little things like new hairstyles, tattoos, scars, and body shapes. Character modifications could also include big things like new class species, species and gender respecs, and server transfers.

4) Charging players for increased storage space seems like a no brainer, so have at it EA.

5) Finally, EA could charge players for buffs that would provide some limited enhancements to things like crafting, combat, and companion xp, and perhaps in the future faction reputation XP.

I also wouldn't have a problem with buffs that enhanced character attributes to extreme levels for a limited time, which would make it possible for players to blow through content quickly that they have already experienced while grinding alt characters. A buff like this would also enable solo players and others to experience all of the games heroic and raid story content. Strict Protective Measures would need to be put in place to prevent players from abusing such a buff.

Well Bioware there you have it, that's the type of Free-To-Play model that I could support. Try to keep the restrictions on Free-To-Play players to a minimum, and for God's sake don't even think about placing restrictions on FREEPs ability to chat, mail, or join guilds. This game needs its players to start socializing more; restrictions on chat, mail and guild recruitment have the opposite effect.
