How about Bioware just do something? So far it's been crickets.

Just put in LFD. Server feels so underpopulated its ridiculous how hard it is to do any FPs anymore. Forget 4+ heroics on worlds. Hardly anyone there.

Sure I'll take the free server transfer offer. I doubt discounting and limited freebies are going to entice enough new players to make a difference. Edit: after thinking about it I still think server mergers are the way to go initially. Bioware can attempt to merge low pop servers in addition to servers with faction imbalances. If you just hand everyone a free ticket to a new server you might end up with a situation where people picks the heaviest server possible.

As a marauder who has finished the class story; they really do not need to be any more beefed up for PvE content prior to 50. If you and your companion are properly geared and your anni specced you should be able to blow through the solo content.

So what is?

I'm stunned by how out of touch the folks at Bioware are if they are handing out guides for people hitting level 10 2 months after launch. I mean really?

Really indifferent to either maker. They both have their pros/cons. The only thing I look for in a card besides the model number is an aftermarket cooler. Stock cooling sucks in terms of noise and cooling.

The first playthrough is fine. The second playthrough if you switch sides it's fine for the first two worlds. Repetition sets in as you realize all the other worlds are almost identical to what you've played already, just quest givers are different. It's the third when you realize how incredibly repetitive it is.

AMD 6870/6950 or Nvidia 560Ti 6950 can be bought just over $200 if you get a deal.

Like another poster suggested there are ways of bringing her back to life. How many times have we seen the contrived "death scene" only to have a person miraculously survive? Besides if some people don't really like her it's no loss to them anyway. I'm not suggesting I get to have more companions. I will gladly dump any of my other companions to keep things equal.

Bah it's got to be better than the current situation where everyone has the same companions. I despise most of the companions I'm forced to have. If Vektor says "Dawn herald" one more time I'm going to break out the can of Raid.

Ah but isn't that the point? RPG with consequences?

She is such a bad person. I would dump all my other dull companions for her.

L2P. Really. My marauder was able to solo a bunch of heroic 4+ on Hoth except for the last one at the end. Some classes can solo better than others. My maruader can handle 2+ gold-starred elites plus a semi-elite if I use a consumable and my major abilities. You can break spawns up to make them manageable. As far as the champion elite the only time they become unmanageable is if they have some super ability to deal a large amount of damage that cannot be interrupted. Also there is a reason it says 2+ or 4+. Why are you complaining if you can't do it solo?

I like to play alts. There are three major problems though: 1. Server depopulation. This is especially acute out in the worlds. The game becomes a single player RPG that happens to be online. Ditto for trying to get flashpoints. No LFD and your stuck. 2. Rigidly linear world progression. For all the fanbois who say your skipping content by not doing "all" the side quests on each world; wait until you revisit them on an alt. Then you will bitterly regret your decision to exhaust all the side quests and be forced ad nausem into repeating the same quests. 3. Lack of originality between Sith and Republic. Again this goes to the world progression. I mean really, you make Taris have a night backdrop for Imps with nearly the exact same zone layout and expect replay value? Comon. Nearly all the other zones with the exception of Coruscant/Dromand Kaas suffer from the exact same problem.

No you sound like one. People are posting their gaming experiences and all you can do is nitpick. Taris the last two nights on imp side on my previously "very heavy" server. Population is 20 typically, never more than 30. Pretty much impossible to find enough people to do 4 man heroics.

A casual is someone who does not min/max a large portion of their game. When you min/max you are taking time out to analyze your talent build, gear, skill rotations, etc. Casuals are terrified of dps/heal meters. A hardcore does min/max. Truly hardcore does have to commit alot of time to play the game in order to do the most difficult content. There are people in-between. Decent number of ex-hardcores who play "casually" in terms of hours but when they play it's hardcore in mindset.

I'm confused. Apparently server merger = admitting there is a population drop. So to save face = do nothing How is that any better than leaving people on a bunch of empty servers where they become disillusioned and quit?

My fault? How about Bioware fixing their game so I can enjoy it?

Gee I dunno, maybe because you already paid for the time and there are no refunds?

Most MMO players don't particularly enjoy playing a MMO game minus the massive.

No kidding. There are serious issues like low population, lack of LFD, endgame issues, inability of swtor to handle more than 25-30+ in pvp. And they talk about hoods.

Delete repost. Dumb refresh button.

Just feels like the bottleneck is server side, not from data loading on my comp.

Everyone knows Bioware is the only one with that information. The updated info is not going to be released for another 1-2 months. You try to sound smart, but your circular logic of "there is no factual proof therefore there is no problem" only makes you sound like a fanboi.
