I can only imagine the kinds of problems this will present as the game expands and grows. More simulatnious things happening meaning more tasks waiting in queue, etc.

The engine was built to run on a single core CPU while most people these days are sporting quad cores with hyperthreading.

A true and epic fail for a game development company. Even I as just a curious individual about game development would opt for something of higher quality and even consider rolling my own game engine instead of using something as half-assed as Hero engine.

Hell, I've seen some indie games that sport their own engine and do a better job.
Wow...just...wow. This answers a lot of bug threads right here. Maybe post this in customer service, as well. So disappointed.

this is why I l;ike a matching Flashpoint tool for groups. I think alot of ppl would stick around if this sort of thing was in. I am bored at 50 and trying to do another charcter. I am not going to spam general or bother guildies doing other things to go run flashpoints with me. I would love to do flashpoints while out questing like we could do warzones.

No server forums
No UI scaling or Mods
No LFG system
Stupid time sinks and excessive load screens.

It is Biowares fault ppl are leaving.

i dont understand that no end game content thingy?
you have at least 5 flashpoints (hm) at level 50 and you have 2 raids..
3 warzones and 1 open world pvp zone (ye that last one does indeed ****)
every day i can spend around 4 hours playing this game with a lot to do... (that can turn out into even more time... but better not to spend it all online... there is a RL world out there!)
my guild has now lot of level 50s and we have lot of fun in every possible way...
lets add to this that you have spacemissions with are good break from normal game also

and we have new updates coming, and every week we have bug fixes... so...
sorry but i dont understand why people are quitting game that only came out... and witch already has more content then any other MMO when it came out...
it can only get better!

Why should i give my money on a *chance* that they will fix something when they even wont acknowledge a problem is even there, when they have proven them selfs to be incompetent in all fields of MMO, PvE is to put it bluntly boring as f..k, PvP is Warhammer replica and pretty much is horrible in all aspects.
If it was F2P game then this complaining wouldnt make sense but for a game that was in production sooooooooooo long and costed so much and suck so much, well its just sad.
When i hear people saying WoW is 7 years old, that only means that BioWare (dont forget EA, the destroyer of games) had that time to make an even better game (which TOR is not).
By your logic every new car industry should start with a car like Fords T-model in age of hybrid and electric cars, the fact they didnt use WoW's mistake and any other MMOs only suggests that they are here for a quick cash and Warhammers destiny....

I have to agree, the game isnt that bad, even the flaws I enjoy the END GAME alot with my L50 assassin, and yeah i get ganked alot when i face guild groups etc, but I also get to fight alot of equals with me so its pretty balanced, everybody gets ganked on their way up the ladder, the game was just released, there are coming alot of pvp improvments, they know the issues with ilum and are working on it, just have patience people.

I am myself amazed of how fast into this game I unsubbed and uninstalled the game. Never has any game made me so angry and frustrated so fast before.

I.e

I leveled 3 chars to 50 (and if you played it you know the grind needed) in Aion doing barely no pvp (and I dislike pve), waiting for the pvp to get sorted. I gave that games 8 months.

In Warhammer I stayed for 1.5 year waiting for improvments, going through all the imbalances and bugs. The last year (if I did an alt) I leveled through pvp alone. My main char was the Shammy, for 1 year I played a broken, unloved, underpowered and least appreciated healer (if not char) in-game. But I loved it!

I spent 5.5 years in EVE, slowly levling my character through realtime leveling.

I don't rage easy and I always give secnd chances. But this game has been so many years in the making. They have had the ability to research other mmo's, finding what players like and dislike the most. They had tons of suggestions from the beta players, knowing certain things would be wrong, yet they implemented it in the game.

They have for free gained several hundreds of thousands of players ONLY on the hype of it being Star Wars. It's cult and for many it's a loved thing. They have hyped the game even more the past year on all avaliable social medias. When SWTOR came out it was so hyped I'm amazed it didn't burst into flames all on it's own.

Being sutch a big game, knowing an appox amount of players, being in 2012 they should, without and excuse, have a better customer service. A production that big should respect it's players and at least give feedback, direct answer, confirm or deny, most issues that gets brought up regularly on the forums.

After this wall of text I could list many reasons why I after less then 1 month unsubbed and uninstalled the game. I won't though.

So, why am I still on the forums? Because I hope there will be change, I'm waiting to see if any answeres comes, I want to help as much as I possible can to sort things that doesn't work.

And because it's Star Wars .. come on!

On the issue of world PvP, clearly there are problems there. Ilum is a massive failure. Outlaw's Den, ditto. And I mentioned in my post that Merc Commendations need to be a reward somehow. But "world PvP" in questing areas is, in my opinion, never a structured or coordinated affair. It typically involves a higher level player preying on a lower level player that is otherwise engaged. There aren't usually rewards for that in the MMOs that I have played. You do that for fun and satisfaction.

So, that said, what would you like to see BW do to encourage this sort of world PvP?
For all of you people who played WoW when it first came out, you will remember the area between southshore and tarren mill. Put 2 faction towns very close to each other, make sure the guards for each town do the job of defending their particular town, and then let the fun ensue.

The land between the 2 towns will become a hot spot for world pvp, and when one side starts piling on too heavily, the town guards are there to balance it out.

This thread and everyone like it should be deleted, they bring nothing but annoyance to the community. Whats funny is when GW2 comes out the same people will "powerlevel" through that, reach endgame then cry theres not enough content. Then they'll go back to WoW and cry theres not the "right" content there. I'm pretty sure these people just float from one MMO to another hoping for some magic MMO that will never exist. I was sorta that way but after playing UO, Everquest, Tabula Rasa, Matrix Online, City of Heroes, WoW, Star Trek Online, and finally this, I'm either settling or I'm done with MMO's altogether (probably the healthier choice).
Lack of content doesn't bother me much as I know it will come, what bothers me is the premades I'm seeing more and more of in pvp. Too many premades may make me quit until they release the new solo class chapters.

WoW.. Who the hell cares? Can't you just quit instead of posting **** like this? I'm lvl 50 and i enjoy it.

Bioware should instantly delete all dumb threads like this one. Play if you enjoy it, quit if you don't.

While I wish SWTOR would have released more polished, it's not far from being a great game.
The difference dearie is that people LOVE their children....

they do not love this game...
