In a hospital, when a patient with a fatal wound is rushed to an emergency room, the doctors move immediately to deal with the primary issue or the patient dies. Swtor is suffering from fatal wounds, most of which are especially glaring on lower population servers. The list of fundamental problems is detailed throughout thousands of posts on these forums and they mainly concern population issues, specifically how those issues directly impact the playability of the game. The reason I unsubscribed today is not due to the problems that currently exist in the game. I unsubscribed because I don’t feel these problems are being dealt with in a way that reflects a meaningful measure of urgency. In my humble opinion, swtor needs emergency surgery, yet the doctors at Bioware are recommending a glass of water and some advil. I really wanted this to work, I wanted to love this game, but I can’t help but feel the major problems are being dealt with so slowly, if at all, that I can’t continue to pay for the service. My “light” population server, which has been posting for help for months, is now totally dead. After months of seeing my server die a slow death, with no urgent care from Bioware, my mourning period is over and it’s time to move on.

Gee I wonder if server population is a problem....

Firkrann Crystal: Queues do not start until 5pm EST. From 5 to 8 it is anywhere from 5 min (same ppl playing against each other over and over) to hours. This completely dies at 2am and cycle continues.

Can Bioware please post average wait times for War Zone Queues on each server? Bioware is still claiming server population is not an urgent concern, so, I'm just wondering what are the average Queue Times across all servers? Thanks

I seriously appreciate some well placed sarcasm as you can tell from my post, so thank you for that reply What drives me crazy is that they think any of that stuff matters in the face of the actual problems directly destroying game play.

Here is my post on our server forums: I'm on Firkrann Crystal (3rd lightest pop server) and I've heard there is a new faction being added!! In fact other servers are testing it right now! The Republic is coming in 1.3! Don't get me wrong, I love playing against the same few people every night, but I'm looking forward to a totally new faction, and a brand new War Zone called Civil War. I really respect how quickly Bioware has pumped out this exceptional fix for our low population. Add that to the awesome new tauntaun mini pet and the recent add of amazing legacy options and I couldn't be happier. Just when I thought Bioware went above and beyond having their team dedicated to such important new features like unlock-able class emotes, I realized they dedicated more time than I would have ever expected to purchasable tech and tool emotes too!! SO AMAZING. In fact, I'm so impressed you can keep your free 30 days. ill pay double for these awesome new adds!! Thank you Bioware for all your attention to what matters most; I am seriously looking forward to all the awesomeness to come. PS Hopefully more emote options are on the way!!

How can this possibly not be addressed by Bioware? Do the devs actually play the godd dammn game? Sign onto Firkrann Crystal, a East Coast PVP server...there are never ever enough republic for a WZ pop. That's right. It never happens. On the empire side, you can pvp between the hours of 5pm and 10pm waiting approx 15-45min per queue pop, against a rotating group of the same 20 people who sign on daily. I know for a fact this occurs on other servers. How is this not a blatantly obvious problem?

I feel like the fun was taken out of the this class when Bioware completely removed Wrath+ CL. I know it seems extreme to say the class was destroyed, it wasn't, I simply feel like the fun is gone. I'm hybrid speced now, 23/0/18, and while this spec is viable and I see myself at the top of most scoreboards, the class it self just feels dull.

Anyone else notice the number of Sorcs in WZs has fallen off a cliff? In the 49 bracket there are none, literally zero, and in the 50 bracket i'm generally the only sorc, or at most 1 of 2.

Is there any response from Bioware anywhere on this issue?

Can Bioware please explain the thought process that went into a zero reward system for the losers of War Zones. I play in the top pvp guild on my server and we win almost 100% of the time with pre-mades, however having the other side receive almost nothing as the losers is absurd. I honestly want to stop crushing pvp so hard on our light pop server because I am afraid we will have no one to play against. This is an actual real concern my guild is currently discussing. The current implementation of the loser = no reward is scaring us because of how deeply destructive it is to our competition. Explain the thought process that went into this, so we can understand WHY you did this. Thank you.

I've been playing since beta, and while there are things Bioware has done that I don't understand; really basic mistakes and oversights that are mindboggling, I do feel Bioware is trying to do the right thing. I think this community is too harsh on Bioware. It would be nice to see more constructive feedback and less hate filled childish ranting followed by endless threats to unsub.

Stephen Reid - Why didn't you test this more than a week before launch? Why aren't all accounts on the PTS given instant level 50s to TEST LEVEL 50 CONTENT?

Ok so here is what just happened: 1. You watch trailers and commercials for a movie. 2. You go the theater and purchase a ticket. 3. You find your seat and watch the previews. As the previews end the lights on come on and someone comes out and says "sorry, the director has decided he wants to rework some things in the movie. Come back in a month, buy a new ticket and watch it then."

Well the only major improvement in the BM gear is the expertise number, which has been dramatically raised due to a reworking of the scaling for this stat. So, it makes sense that the champ mods wont receive some major buff, just that expertise is added to these items.
