Didn't realize that a majority of the people on the forums were also qualified enough to denounce what professional analysts say. Interesting! Mine as well get rid of the profession if so many people can do it better and with less training than they have. Maybe the same thing goes for developing MMO's....

Jesus Christ. Are you guys idiots?

Because bioware is completely losing an interest in the customer at this point. Dragon Age 2 should have been it but noooo. Never supporting Bioware again.

Bioware is out 500 mill

Sorry didn't know you were an expert. So I want you to name all the names that are doing so since it is apparently only 4 people oh king of knowing everything. Go ahead I'll hold my breath.

Sorry we didn't realize you were smarter than us. I will surely take your opinion more seriously and actually it's now law. You are right and great congratulations this post changed my life.

Why don't you guys fix your game, not remove the ability to cancel subscriptions and not shove useless medals down our throats that won't get us our money back.

Are you stupid? Resolution=/= graphics quality.

Since Bioware felt like taking the ability to unsubscribe away form you here is a link that will allow you to do so. https://account.swtor.com/user/subscription/Cancel

All aboard the Tortanic.

I'll never sleep again.

I'll pay more heed to the statistics after the first month, but fewer people logging in over the span of the first month is par for the course is it not? Did you fully understand what you linked? Lower server population does not equal out to a loss in subscribers. Populations even out over time, players move servers to alleviate queue wait times, or go back to work. What we see in those statistics reflects that. Later it may, but as of now it's not really any thing you don't see in any other MMO. If you can point one out, go ahead. The statistics point out a overall decline in people actually playing the game. Which when free month = subscriptions and game cards as well the data for that isn't applicable until the next 4 months at least. Your shacknews link is dead. sorry Watched the video, yes this is known and it's not game breaking. Odd one to pick out, I'd have went with something more annoying like the clunky GTN. But whatever. Yes I know MMO's have bugs. This isn't a bug it's a game-play mechanic flaw. You think it isn't gamebreaking but yes it is. If they don't fix this PVP will be worthless if not everyone has a fair chance. It's also just sad they let this happen. Nice one with the "biodrone" remark, you could be a pundit. I know I know, if people like the game, they MUST be a "biodrone". It's almost clever. I guess I could have done without it. Would you rather I say SWTOR fanboy? Same thing. Anyway, you've really given no facts, or at least none that are really relevant.. Just posted about some bugs and made a false correlation between server population and a declining user base. You saying that doesn't prove less people are playing the game than were originally. Evidence please, statistics. Or ****. Bioware didn't revolutionize the genre in a way that appealed to you, in effect you fail to see it. I get something out of SWTOR that I never got out of any other MMO I've played. If feeling that way makes me a drone, then **** it I'm a drone. whatever makes you happy You seem to just ignore and let your own perception decide what is fact or isn't fact. Just another typical useless pointless response riddled with opinions of a fanboy.

I used a game-card to add game-time which I regret. So yes they do exist. That said there are plenty of things they missed.

Not really, you only reinforce my feelings about this terrible fan-base and their behavior.

Comparing this launch to WoW's which people seem to really like doing here, WoW didn't miss this many features until they introduced them to the world of course.

Instead of being insulting and not proving a point show us some evidence that we are wrong. Until then you are just saying we are wrong with no proof. Please enlighten us.

"So yet again, the game did not lost active subscribers last two weeks but instead average population of servers dropped down - which is a good thing (meaning less queues if any). " - raistlinthewiz Do peoples free month count as a subscription? What about gamecards? Can't cancel either. Average population = people actually playing. What if Bioware counts gametime as a subscription? Do you have details on how it works? So you are only reinforcing my point that less people are playing the game as time goes on. Thanks.

- Storylines that matter. MMO's=/=story driven games. this is opinionated - Character Development. see above - A game that starts at level 1 and not at the end-cap. This statement is getting pretty old. Opinionated as well. - Balanced PvP. Several abilities are unbalanced. Learn to read skill descriptions. Compare the sorcerer to the jedi sage. - Awesome combat (say goodbye to button smashing) Troll - Companions that actually do something. Troll

well here are some facts http://www.swtorarena.com/statistics/ you can clearly see that the userbase is declining. There are several issues with the game including http://www.shacknews.com/article/719...shed-at-launch this ridiculousness. and this Bioware has released what feels like a half finished game with imbalanced classes and horrid performance. Bioware drones will cling to their game no matter what, but the numbers don't lie. If you are so dependent on appearing better than WoW then your wrong there too. Their current userbase is well beyond SWTOR and when it was released it didn't experience a dip in sales at all. In fact it's growth was gradual but didn't reach great numbers until the game was made a little more user friendly. You can see this here. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/2008...h-timeline.htm Your user-base is declining. Customer service is notoriously terrible and there has been nothing but false promises from Bioware. Say what you will, there are always a lot of people playing an MMO at launch of new content. Visit WoW in early of a new expansion, but SWTOR is showing the same signs that RIFT, DCUO, and almost all recent MMO's showed before they took the plunge harder than the titantic. My feelings about Bioware are opinion and should be taken as such. Story is great, but this is a MMO and certain fundamental aspects need to be respected and excelled in as apposed to a single player RPG. There are radical differences that determine success. All of that said, SWTOR showed some promise with interesting features but for the most part didn't revolutionize MMO's at all. If you can argue my point with evidence go right ahead.

- Story Driven MMO. People are simply tired of WoW and its many clones (Rift...etc). Subscriber base for WoW says otherwise. - Character Development. You begin your development at level 1 not at the end cap level. There isn't any story development for your characters in WoW so I'm not sure what this even means. WoW isn't story driven it's content driven. Lore in optional which is great for some people. This is essentially opinionated. - In SWTOR "The Real Game" starts at level 1. Most MMO's the real game doesnt start until end-cap. Pretty sure I'm playing a game while I level and run dungeons. Your statement is opinionated. - Immersive game play and environments. Opinionated, the combat system in my opinion is subpar. The ability lag is inexcusable. The environments are nice though but WoW had great environments as well. This is opinionated. - SWTOR killed "the Grind" that plagues so many MMO's. Not at all. Quests are very copy paste and are so similar to WoW's it's not even funny. The story provides motivation that's really it. Another Opinionated statement. - Fluid Combat with clashing Lightsabers! Are you kidding me? You are joking right? - In SWTOR the leveling process is FUN and not a chore. You are repeating yourself, quantity<quality. Another opinionated statement. - Voice-Acted questing. Incredibly well done. Meh, voice acting is okay. The cut-scenes animation is horrid. *awkward affirmative nod* - Smooth Launch! Fairly unusual in this business but BW pulled it off. Servers were certainly clogged but I didn't experience very much downtime when playing. Last massive release I played was Rift and also had no downtime. WoW came out in 2004 and experienced a massive attack in terms of people trying to login. If they had today's technology back then, it wouldn't be a issue. - If its this good at launch, imagine SWTOR in a year! Opinionated. I feel SWTOR isn't very good in terms of a MMO and a okay single player RPG. I see a lot of opinions and not many facts. Wanna support your points with evidence instead of talking outta your butt?

This game definitely has areas where corners were cut. There are major issues like the action lag and texture issue that needs resolution and the devs don't seem to be doing anything. I'm thinking about abandoning ship myself.

EXCUSE ME? Please tell me your joking.
