Oceanic server announcement - Have your say Dalborra

I am sure people have already explored all sorts of arguments, so I will keep my comments brief. A number of APAC players would get better ping if they were to play on the US servers, but have chosen to stay because of what they have invested (time-wise and emotionally) in this community. There is clearly potential in marketing the servers differently.

I recall a while ago when the US and European servers were turned off for a night, Dalborra practically exploded in population. It was random, but interesting. Perhaps the key to the population problem is not get more APAC players to like Star Wars MMO (which frankly is a matter of advertising and preference), but to induce more players from other regions to jump ship to see what we have to offer.

Imagine if the APAC servers have double exp weekends on every week. Or perhaps the devs could introduce server specific-vanity items, like mounts (and make it so that your achievements are cross-servers). These are just ideas, and given that our server's days are numbered, there is nothing to lose from experiments.

Nice ideas Antiri.

Maybe US could have the option of "free" transfer to APAC to see if tat boosted numbers too.

People need to learn to use the proper tools at hand. Group Finder, Warzone finder. Also Star Wars needs to make it easier to make groups, you have already in place a group finder, why not allow all missions to be selected on the group finder.

Warzones popping you make Warzones sux so most people don't bother, allow us to pick the game we want to play, take off the stupid make everyones attack the same strength because its the defence that kills us, and separate the different levels. people who are in the 30 - 55 area don't want to be playing against LVl 10 - 20, 20 - 30 don't want to be playing against the 30 up and the 20 down. People spend more time not playing the games and using Technicalities to win the Warzones. Allow more than 8 people be in the game, and have them running every 30 mins to start a new one. everyone who wants to be in the warzone joins by the 30 min mark and you play.

only two of the warzones have a time limit, and one of the games you don't even play for the full time. Space ships the worst Warzone out of all of them. The only good Warzone is Hutt Ball and that's because you have a 12 min time limit, different layers of fighting and you have to score points and play the game to know you are going to win. Hutt Ball is the only good Warzone.

When you wake up in the morning do you see a lot of yes men screwing you over Star Wars TOR , because you make things hard, no one plays, make things easy and no one plays, make people have to rely on other people to play, they don't play, rely on people having to travel to help others out is even more horriific and stops them from doing it.

Like If I was STar Wars The Old Republic I would scrap what you got now and come back with a better story line, better game system and offer it to playstation and Xbox and get some gosh darn voice chat so people can fight and chat at the same time. get rid of that stupid *** stealth and everything you have with it. Characters with Stealth have no other abilities that are good and stealth don't work. What is the point of having to stand still without moving to keep stealth working when the minute you move your scene.

Republic side is just screwed, Consular spends its time gathering up a weapon visiting the ghost guy learning the way of strength and you than change it to going and saving sick masters who are being mind controlled. Dudes changed your story and motives quickly. Jedi Knight spends its time trying to stop a rogue Jedi from killing them, okay that is good, you choice to allow him to live or died, however you never learn to use any actual force moves. you have techniques and you have hit these buttons rappidly to do some damage, no stealth, no force, either two sabres or one. Consular you have a double lighsabre or a single, however you don't need to use them because you do more damage with rocks and the ball of light.

You have forced story lines, On Typhon do either Jedi class get it on with a character, because if they do narking on the lovers is pretty bad. Why can't we have from the start good nark and bad allow them to exist, that way it is atleast fair. You have a good and Bad intention meter and you judge all mission by red or white, however it means nothing in the end. You get to use a dark side or light save stuff but does anyone actually get there.

Thee should be at the Starter worlds a choice to go dark or light for each character, than on the Home worlds you work to that story line and from after that you are on the dark or light side story. At least that way having to have 16 characters would at least be good.

This is either brilliant trolling or you're just a whiny git who can't play at all.
