/agree 100% I wonder what this game would look like if they did VO for class quests only. It's the only VO that really matters... and all that saved $$ could have been used to develop other aspects of the game that are lacking.

Agree. BW started making this MMO when hotkeyed,themepark style was at a prime. In 2012.. it is over used and boring.

haha, i see what you did there. you clever person you

Kanharn: Clearly new to the MMO world to think that or this is your first MMO from launch. Then again everyone in the industry also disagrees with you. Not exactly, Played SWG up til NGE and wow from '04 launch until last year.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on both points. The latter simply because you were vague. SWTOR definitely had far more initial subcriptions, but its first month was a tremendous disaster.

COugh, its 2012... cough wow was in 2004 cough. 8 years? Yea, you think they would have done it right. BW... you're doin it wrong

So much flame to defend BW lol Obviously the subcription numbers have dropped off significantly. Anyone who tries to dispute that is in denial. If you like the game great, if not thats ok too. But yes sub #'s are way down ppl!

Couldnt agree more. I played Beta and played in early access, (2 lvl 50's atm) and I have to completely agree with most if not every single one of your arguments here. Nice post. IMO the game was way over-hyped, and it just doesnt hit the MMO mark that many were looking for.

It is on the decline.. Subs are down from the first week. I.E. declining

this

Agreed. Notice how those bugs were present in beta.. yet BW/EA released the game. Notice how there were issues and problems galore on PTR with 1.1.... BW/EA released the patch. All while receiving flack from the community in beta and PTR. Is this the future of this game?

My Sniper's min-max dmg is displayed wrong. There is always an extra 5 as the 2nd digit. Ex: actual min max is lets say 450-750. It will display as min-max 4550-7550. odd bug

You really have a lack of understanding regarding the fundamental systems involved in economics, both past and present.

Hey, I play imperial on Kinrath Spider and I've only ever seen ~180 max at imperial fleet. Generally our leveling zones have 30-200 people in each. So although there are more imperials on the server, I think that the server cap has a lot to do with ho many players you're seeing. That combined with the faction imbalance. Our server during prime time is "FULL" yet there's never more than 2 shards present on any planet ever. (2 being rare)

Usually fast travel is not an option due to character movement.

type /stuck For me it teleported me out of the rocks where I had been "falling" infinitely.

I've also decided to resub at some point later this month. (taking a break for a week or so after patch 1.1 irk'd me) Reasons: -1.1 was an epic fail on the large scale of things, but i believe the wounds can be healed with time. (contrary to my previous thoughts about Bioware not listening to its community). -Many of the missing aspects that a basic MMO should have (LFG, ranked WZ's, better crafted items, smoother ability control and animations) will be coming over the course of the next few major patches in the coming months. -I feel that yes Bioware royally f'd up with it's first month and first major patch, but they have the long term vision and capability to really do something special with this game and I do believe they will make that happen. Things need to be overhauled and tweeked but when these fixes come, this game will really be a solid and polished product.

Story? Oh wait, nope. Once you start leveling a second character... you realize how much Story shouldn't be in an MMO. And I loved the story element. But how many times can I possibly hear the same dialogue over and over and over and over... holy christ

No it doesn't. I thought it did also, but once you get to 50 and then another character to 50.... you realize.. yea the game starts at 50.. and there is nothign but boring content and broken content there for you to explore. so sad.

Agreed. Take a look at EA's annual/quarterly revenue statistics over the past 3 years. No way would I Buy this stock at the moment.

Thank you! Thats all I was looking for.

hello all, I currently have suspended my subscription after the disaster that was 1.1 (put me over the top along with other issues that have been around for a while). I'm going to give the game a month or two to fix things up and then decide if I want to come back. I was curious though if it is possible to receive a refund for digital purchases of the game via origin. I just want to weigh all of my options. I appreciate the help if you know the answer! Thank you very much! ps.. Long live the Empire!

I am cancelling for many reasons but the greatest factor persuading me to make this decision has to do with Patch 1.1 and Bioware's inability to effectively manage the entire situation. I pre-ordered the game July 24th, and have loved the game ever since Early access launch. I was hesitant to stay after relizing just how many game flaws were present in a "finished" 2011 (almost 2012) MMO. It was beyond frustrating. However the most recent blunder in patch 1.1 has put me over the top. I'm more disappointed in Bioware than angry because this game had such great potential and it fell so short that I feel as If I myself could have created a better game just by being part of the creative design team. With patch 1.1 coming out and a so called "rollback" being seemingly impossible to execute, I feel as if Bioware has imploded their own game. Many have said that "all the PvPrs can just leave as they are not the main player base". However although i do love pvp, the best easily attainable gear even for PvE is PvP gear. I almost wish Bioware would hire me so that I could sit down with them and literally give ideas to fix every single problem present within the game from ability delay, to PvP balance, to implementing ideas. (aka Ilum as it was in 1.1 never would have happened..ever) Hundreds of people were relating this patch 1.1 to the NGE patch of SWG. The patch that (after the Combat Upgrade) literally killed a great MMO. How can you have a patch capable of destroying a game be released within the first 28 days of a MMO launch!? It just leads me to believe that Bioware has literally zero true MMO experts onboard. The whole experience from Day 1 has just screamed to me: Bioware... you make great single player games(lvling to 50 was great)... but MMORPG games is definitely a genre you should stay away from. Bottom Line: I as a customer of such a highly esteemed company, feel cheated and not cared about. If I cared about a game so much to write this long essay of why I am leaving, then the company that accepts my money should care about me the customer just as much if not more. Goodbye SWTOR

If there is no rollback to 1.1 I will Unsubscribe to SWTOR. What a disappointment /signed

haha. and " The planet has been detonated by the Expeditionary Fleet. For the Empire!"
