I've been getting massive lag in the evenings. and my ookla speed test ping is only 9ms with over 100mbps download. If i cmd ping swtor.com the ping is around 175ms however in game it spikes to much worse. It seems to be hit and miss on when i can play with no issues.

Well this makes sense. At least now i don't have to feel so bad if i cant kill one healer. Still very frustrating though for 4v4. Can be hard to get everyone to focus on the healer. Btw i use deception assassin

Seriously, healing was already ridiculous with people self healing in pvp but now it seems even worse. But im serious is there any good way to 1v1 a healer in pvp? I would like to know for future encounters.

Whats worse is they start the ranked season right after making these ridiculous changes. Pvp has always been my main interest in this game for the most part, but now i see no clear path to getting good gear for pvp other than their lottery system.

Not true. Im not sure what server you've been playing on, but the server where i come from it was the heart of the game.

R.I.P. PVP... Yep they pretty much ruined PVP. They are going full throttle PVE and i never really liked the PVE in this game, boring as heck but thats just my opinion

Its really stupid to start the new ranked season right after making the last current max PVP gear weaker than most PVE gear. Seriously where is the logic in making PVE armor better than PVP armor? It wouldnt be so bad if they gave everyone a basic set of gear upon release (or at least made one available for credits or something) but now we have to grind like crazy to get random gear boxes right when the new ranked season starts. Lock boxes should always be optional, not the main way of getting gear.

FINALLY!!! it let me login

I still cant Nice of them to use twitter to say they are looking into the problem instead of their own website which the launcher directs you to for info

Whats going on? tells me to check the forums, but server status is good and there are no alerts. [update] Says servers are down now [update Update] Says servers are up but still having the same issues

The servers are back but everyone brace urselves, they could go down unexpectedly once again. You have been warned

Any news on the server status?

If at all possible we should be warned before shutting down the servers.
