melsione Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Seriously, We get a new server! We have lvl 50's who raid and play endgame, but we have to wait almost 2 months before we can bring them across and actually play on the better latency? Which person came up with this concept? You knew when the aussie servers were coming up and you did not allow for server transfers to happen immediately? So now if we want to play on our mains (Which we DO) we have to go back to the 250 latency pings for another 2 months! Bravo! And what happens when people take existing legacy surnames which we cannot reserve? This is so pathetic! Well only solution for me: End subscription till April and then try again! The only reason I renewed my subscription was because of wanting to play on low latency servers! And for anyone wondering where I am getting April from: Its in their FAQ: http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#q400115 Edited February 29, 2012 by Notannos rude language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzle_flash Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 As the ocean of problems with the game grows, they have to push some stuff back I imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayssen Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yes, it is pretty appalling to push transfers back until late April. I wonder why they are doing this - are they still trying to figure out how transfers work? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerberias Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, this is going to make me quit - I have friends who are rolling on the new server and I want to play with them - having to wait almost two freaking months to play with my friends without rolling a new character is beyond retarded. Possibly the stupidest thing you've done bioware, and you've done a lot. Talking to people on my server theres a LOT of people very, very angry about this. Oceanic servers will be a ghost town a lot earlier if this happens - since everyone will straight up quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxwit Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So, we can't play our mains on there for 2 months, and the sheer amount of people on the server makes it near impossible to level up a new character at the moment (just tried) So basically we can't do shi* all with them.

PurpleCliff Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 And we're shafted at the last minute again. Seriously, what's going on? How can this be thought of as okay? Tearing the Oceanic community in half again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elarion Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Already lost a couple of character names because they put the servers up early and if I loose my legacy name I will be mega pissed. Pre ordered simply to get in early and reserve names and now I am in the position that I either stay on Swiftsure and deal with the latency for when rated WZ come out or put mega hours in on an alt I don't want to play to try reserve my legacy name (again). BW has been horrible with customer relations from the very beginning so I shouldn't be surprised that they hold the cards close to there chest rather than sharing info with the community but that is my biggest complaint so far with the game.

Makmoer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I dont post on these forums for the obvious reasons, but SERIOUSLY BW ***?! End of April before I can play on my toons on the local Australian servers? You could have rather have kept your Aussie servers to yourself. Consider my sub cancelled until you, BW, wake the **** up.

digikai Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 won't have my sub next month, only reason sticking around for the new server has become disappointment. No content , broken ilum from beta , so many reports fallen on deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclekaula Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 its pretty easy to level, just roll a new char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehgreiz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 yeah seriously, what the hell. how can bioware not realise that the majority of oceanic/asian folks already own and play the game... basically it means that the oceanic servers will be Dead before they even have a chance to thrive.. if this doesnt change im just done. myself and most of the ppl that i know. in a history of getting shafted by bioware, this is some pretty epic shafting to take the cake right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleCliff Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 its pretty easy to level, just roll a new char. That's not very palatable after becoming attached to a 300 hour old character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deags Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Dumbest bs I've ever heard, why the hell even launch the servers now then? half the oceanic community probably won't even touch the servers till Late April now...

jayssen Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm sorry, I wasnt aware QQ's on the forum would speed up the transfer. I rest my case Meanwhile, I really do hope that BW reassess this decision as all it does is hurt the Oceanic server populations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleCliff Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Can't recommend my friends who are joining the game to roll on the Oceanic servers now, if I want to play with them. I guess red zoners will be red zoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deags Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm sorry, I wasnt aware QQ's on the forum would speed up the transfer. Actually it may, if we keep flooding the forums with this, they may actually get off their asses and work it out sooner. I mean there was going to be any grace period till all the QQs, so QQ can work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehgreiz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think you should just calm down and they will provide a reason to this no doubt. whatever the reason, it wont be good enough to justify the decision. 100%. it will be "meh we dont have the tech ready to transfer yet" or "we want to let the new players have a chance before the vets join the server" not bloody good enough, the server WILL NOT LAST AT ALL if they dont let the currently playing oceanic folks transfer within a couple of weeks. that is a FACT.

ibleedaquaorange Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think you should just calm down and they will provide a reason to this no doubt. Rather than a reason, I would hope that this backlash would light a fire under their ***** to get this done within the next 2 weeks, which would actually be a reasonable timeframe.

IIII-IIII-IIII Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm guessing their waiting to implement server transfers for everyone, when they make it available for Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
