It's a Bioware game, so they made a Bioware game. Bioware makes story driven game, Blizzard makes multiplayer games. So you are playing a Bioware game.
What are you talking about? I love other bioware games, and when I press a button in this games, my character does what he is told.

Other bioware games are not unresponsive and laggy like swtor, stop trying to paint a picture that all bioware games have unresponsive controls like swtor

I mean, hell, Vindictus even has smoother combat than this and that game is f2p.

It turned out to be World of Warcraft 6 years ago without any decent coding at all whatsoever. If there are people out there that like playing a game where lagging is the default, have a great time I guess.
Now we are in a wierd place cuz we need to figure out what success is, if your making money or not could be it.

Does WoW bring in more money then EVE certaintly, I will not disagree with that. But then try it this way does EVE bring in more money then I do or you. Yes they do, do they bring in an OK amount of money well in my opinion yes.

But again it is a perspective what Success and OK is

The money they are making is in my opinion though lover then WoW... Success.

Of course this is completely wrong. Eve made a ton of money and lasted nearly a decade, a success by any measure. But most of your posts are completely devoid of facts so why stop now.

So you're saying Bioware's response to this topic and elaborate thread will be "Go back to WoW"? I'm fairly confident that Bioware themselves read, understand and support this thread to some degree. All you defenders of this flawed and buggy system are really not doing them any justice...

How much longer do they need to figure out how to respond to these issues when players are bringing them up?

This has been a known issue for over a year, and beta testers constantly brought it up, and they ignored the issue and released the game with this crap in game.

This is starting to look like another snatch and grab the quick cash on game sales of a no where near done product like warhammer to me.

Coincidence that EA is running both?
Maybe cause it isnt a easy fix? If he doesnt know the problem and/or the dev team hasnt figured it out, what more can they say???

You must remember...Not all of us are experiencing the same problem...I have no problems with delay at all or lining up attacks one after another at all

What I do occassionally have a problem with is hitting the button and nothing happening...It doesnt happen often and with another press of the button it goes off, but it does happen from time to time..Mainly in PvP

And I know a lot of us in game and in my guild are not having this problem because our group yesterday played together for about 4 hours and consciously trying to see/feel/be effected by the delay and we had no problems...We ran 2 FP's and 4 WZ's...Like I said the only problem I had was sometimes I'd hit my button and my toon would like shrug but nothing would happen...Part of that was cause I was spamming my buttons, but I still dont think that should matter...The first time you press it should have priority...There is definitely a problem with the UI and I aint arguing that point at all!

I will say this though, even though it isnt a "fix", once I stop spamming the buttons, I didnt have the problem even a 10th as much

Some people will deal with anything as long it's a franchise they're fond of.


Which, although I like Star Wars, is not enough for the rest of us.

That link is good, also could you just list here tournaments you've attended and placements/team names? I only ask this so that I can incorporate it well into the OP and hopefully raise Bioware's awareness to your post... Though I believe they at this point read every page of this thread.

I have to disagree with you here. Bioware knew about this issue early in the beta. The truth has come out and a light has been shined by your thread here.

The beta testers were telling bioware about this issue the entire time. They did not do anything to fix it before release.

Seems like another early unfinished release EA cash and grab, just like warhammer.
