The amount of clueless fanbois in this thread is funny. "best mmo game ever" facepalm.

OP: Excellent post raising many of the issues with raiding in this game.

This video is a great example of how bad raiding is in this game. The encounter is not hard, clearly your team has mastered the actual mechanics. Yet you wipe repeatedly because of a huge number of bugs. You spend more time fighting the BUGS than the actual boss mechanics and this is on their raid that was available at game launch. People will say oh but its a new game, give it time blablabla. This is UNACCEPTABLE and just proves how poor their development of this game actually was. Hell even RIFT, AOC, LOTRO etc had working launch raids. Great example of why raiders should wave byebye to SWTOR.

This sums it up nicely.

PvE raiding in this game is awful. Huttball is the ONLY original idea they had.

They do this for anything negative, delete/lock the thread. Nice one bioware you think this helps? Ofc it dosen't, you just trying to hide the problems from your sheep customers.

Ahaha. Next thing you'l be saying is the launch was good. Facepalm.

Warzones are ok, huttball being good the rest average. Open world pvp is worse here than in very old MMO's like LOTRO.

My guild came from RIFT where we were world #5th, we played here for 6 weeks completed all content got world #3rd then quit. Content is far too easy for hardcore gamers, so many basic issues with itemisation, raids, pvp, UI, etc... People would rather play old games while waiting for GW2 and Diablo III. So OP this is not only happening to random guilds made from people spamming in global channels, but to proven successful guilds also.

Ahaha. I lolled.

Diablo III

Its ok, PvE players will go play Diablo III in a few months and PvP players will go play Guild Wars 2. Swtor had its chance, 300million and 4+ years and failed. It was fun while it lasted (when it worked), but if it didn't have lightsabers and Star Wars inbuilt fanclub (lets face it, we all have a hardon for chewie, raaaaaugh!) it would have failed even harder. Competative PvE = failed Competative PvP = failed All thats left is casual gaming and you dont need 300million to provide that. Would have been better as JK3 single player and at least this way we wouldn't have had to deal with Ilum, by far the worst open world pvp zone in the history of MMO's. Cya in Tristram ppl.

Welcome to the top 10%.

its on your bag... derp.

lol you feel robbed... and your talking about a graphic for helm... I feel robbed that I waited 3+ damn years for this game and its awful.

^ this Why run hardmodes when you an do all 16man nightmare content in less than 3 hours.

Once you hit lvl 50 (takes about 1 week) you can grind HM's for columi gear (takes 1 week) then your set to jump straight into 16man nightmare and complete all raid content in 3 hours. Then game is finished.

Well done, you are un-buggering something that didnt need changing in the first place.

^ this sums it up nicely

Just wait for the player dropoff in the next 1-2 months to affect share price. SELL SELL SELL!

The most annoying thing about starwars is: That they wasted 300 million and 4+ years on a shoddy game.

37k swipe = you didnt read your debuffs There is an animation bug that causes the swipe to appear behind the boss but the damage is still frontal. besides that hes fine, oh and so are pylons

haha the amount of ppl that STILL didnt understand this boss is funny sh't!

lol yes you can keep him in one spot, just fire off a pointless one on the left and static tank him on the right. Easymode boss using this strat ^

I did not say I was speaking for the community (like any single player can claim that...) but for the hardcore players in my guild. Overall pretty dissapointed with the game, from the terrible UI, awful open world pvp, itemisation... it all seems poorly organised and produced. FYI all the ops content takes about 2-3 hours to complete on 16man Nightmare... thats 1/2 a nights raiding for a hardcore guild. Leaving me the rest of the week to "go outside".
