  1. Okay thanks! I'm currently playing a new sith warrior, and my plan is to skip everything after Ziost. So if I go straight to Jedi Under Siege I'll have to assume all bad choices? Will Quinn be dead? Will I be empire or alliance? To be honest, neither skipping or playing those story arcs sound appealing....
  2. I quit swtor several years ago as I was unhappy with the server merge but more so because I hated where the story went after Shadows of Revan. I've returned because I really miss playing the original class stories, and they are still as good as I remember. My question is this, after SoR what can I safely skip to catch up to the current storyline (Onslaught?)? Are there certain stories I must play so the current story makes sense? From memory I played up to Umbara but I wasn't enjoying any of it. I missed being a dark council member or a smuggler and the whole Alliance thing made me miserable. I know I'll lose companions, that's fine I can head cannon that away. But is everyone going to still call me that damned Outlander or Commander? Will it feel like Zakuul just never happened or will it feel like a disjointed mess?
  3. After the hurt of being kicked out of swtor because of the server relocation, the wow expansion has taken some of the edge of it. It looks fantastic and I'm hyped. Even tho I still have a couple of months left on this sub I've already decided to stop playing and I've gone back to wow to prepare for the expansion.
  4. I wonder if they made this change to allow for the fact that with increased ping for half their players meant that few people would be able to get 2 skills off in the precision/ferocity window.
  5. Blizzard put wow servers in about 2 years ago. I get 40 ms and I'm on the other side of the country. Most east coast players get between 10 - 25ms. Its very similar to your US pings
  6. An overwhelming number of online games I've played (GW2, Rift, Archeage etc) have been located in central US because it's central. Typically Texas. It's logical because they cater to customers on both sides of the country. I average 200 to west coast, 250 to central and 300+ to east coast. 250ms is about the upper limit for things like raiding and pvp or other high end game activities. So yes central US is bearable, East Coast is not. If Bioware had chosen Texas I'd still be unhappy but would have continued my subscription and eventually got over it because I could still play. Blizzard has servers in Australia, but they are one of the few companies that actually care about their customers outside of the USA.
  7. I select Washington form the list of East Coast servers, so I assume that's DC and closest to the VA data centre.
  8. nah, I don't need or want a refund. Services provided up to this point have been good so Bioware can keep what I've spent on their products, no regrets there. And my subscription is cancelled so no issues their either as I'm not going ot quibble over 2 months sub. I did buy a $100 cc pack right before this announcement ($138 after conversion) so I wouldn't mind that back as it's useless to me now Despite my anger I don't want this game to fail or see Bioware close, even though i can't play anymore I know there are thousands of northern hemisphere players who still can and for you I hope the journey continues for a long time yet.
  9. Good points, although from what I understand most roleplayers just do their thing in Strongholds now because it's the only safe place to do so. Roleplayers have been shafted just as badly as us APAC/west coast players in this whole debacle.
  10. With the new warzone coming out soon it kills me that i won't be able to enjoy it
  11. Um no, I think the other way around. West coast pvper's will not want to move to Starforge because they know they will be playing against east coast players with better ping. But east coast pvper's will definitely want to move to where the west coast players are so they can exploit their advantage. I can see Starforge being the more mature pleasant server and Satele Shan become pretty much what Harb was before. If I was a roleplayer, I'd move to Starforge.
  12. I suspect the RPers won't have it too bad because all the pvpers will migrate to Satele Shan server. You will have a lot of east coast players wanting to exploit their ping advantage over the west coast players. So my guess is the Starforge will become a sort of default PVE server and all the PVP actions will be happening on Satele Shan server. Bioware really should extend the 90 cc server transfer sale so those who do roleplay can escape Satele Shan and move to the more likely friendlier Starforge.
  13. Depending on the time of day I have seen it come down to as low as 270, but more often than not it sits over 300 with 320 the most common number. I'm with Telstra on the NBN. I'm not home until next week so cant do a Tracert. With my VPN server selection I've got it pointing to Washington, I assume that's the closest to the VA servers.
  14. Even if you are right, 280 is still unacceptable when last week I was a steady 200-210. And when you are playing against people who have 20ms it's the definition of misery.
