Honestly, if your think MOST people bought the game because they love star wars - I do hope your wrong, cause the game doesnt feel very starwarsy after the class quests are done - and that would lead to not only the hardcores, semi-hardcore, casuals with a sense of quality - but also all those star wars fans (who didnt play any mmo or online game before - cause that would put them in one of the other catagories too) dumping the game like hot potato.

There is absolutely nothing harcore about the PvE or PvP in SW:ToR, might be the easist raids ive ever done and getting to max rank in PvP takes about 1 day in Ilum atm, this game is more casual friendly then WoW. Unfortunately, this also mean that there is very little to do in the game - and even casuals would run out of content in a few months, hopefully they'll get some stuff added by then. 3small 8v8 warzones (smaller then the smallest Battlegrounds in WoW or Warhammer), raids that takes about an evning to finish (thats if you dont know the fights, cause then it takes a few hours) og OWPvP thats - well - so poorly designed there is no reason for it to be there.

Not much chance of that happening - unfortunately SW:ToR lost alot of subscriptions, and I for one cannot blame them, the game is fun from 1-49 the first time on each side - after that the class quests doesnt make up for the boring side quests and at lvl 50 the game might as well stop as things look right now. I do hope they get around to fixing it, just started my smuggler on rep side - and the story is nowhere as good as the agent story was, but its enough to keep me bussy until they fix the game or I stop

That I can tab out and do other stuff?

Switch right now, I got no idea why you wouldnt, better do it now before there isnt enough Reps left to form a full Flashpoint grp..

Fix the balance issues between the factions Fix the ugly *** gear on Rep side Fix the crappy animations on Rep side Fix the poorly designed class quests (compared to Imps) And more importantly: Learn from the great games of the past DoAC and Planet Side (which was pvp centric games tho) and add a 3rd faction, which is the 1 reason Ill switch to Gw2 the minut its out - I didnt like the whole "generic gear" thing where everyone has the same gear, but after this patch it will be the same in SWTOR in a few days.

I could not agree more, come join us - with the subs running out in a few I bet you wont have enough rep's on a server to form an Operation Group!

As an Imp my self I wont be resub'ing after this. The totalt lack of any foresight on Biowares behalf worries me, and I wont pay to beta test something that is ultimately broken - appearently beyond repair - I worked to get my Battlemaster Titel and today everyone in our guild that had time to play got theirs - even people who had hardly set foot in a Warzone before. I just got my alt to 50 and prolly gonna use the rest of my play time to get battlemaster on it just incase they ever fix the game to be playable. I actually dont think ive ever played an MMO that failed harder then SWTOR.

And after testing that one server you know everything! It goes up and down, but on some servers 20-30 reps are trying to fight back (and failing hard) giving the Imps about 20 kill pr. minut - go do the math. Not saying its "insane" valor, but its alot more then ya can make in Warzones. We have a guild made that made it from 32-63 today, granted his been standing in Ilum spamming AoE all day..

Tbh, WoW > This piece of crap - should have given it 2-3 years more in development and used less time on "**** awesomenezz voice actorz" and more on making a playable MMO.

Well, dunno if its Insanely fast but: Had 3 people in our guild hit 60+ today from rank 30 and lower... and a few that was already abit higher.

Maybe cause we dont have the problems you have? Not our fault if ya cant play your class..

Its true, I got some gear and level'ed Biochem - why wouldnt I, the other tradeskills are useless even if they nerf Biochem (about 5% damage on gear + all the lame *** buff stacking). "Rarely" get 6k crits without gear and biochem, no other class can come even close to that... Im not very good at OP tbh, but who cares, it doesnt require much skills on my part anyways.

I agree that buff stacking is a major part of the problem - but it just goes to show which classes are already abit over the top, with consumable stacking and buff it becomes very obvious. I would prefer less burst damage and more utility - so the class requires abit more skill to play - cause it doesnt take much effort or skill to kill people as things are now - and Sages and Sorcs are just walking free solo kills. In its current form, a 4v4 deathmatch (if there was such a thing) would be won by 4 Ops/scrappers every time.

Try to pick up Biochem and some PvP stims - if ya can hit 6k without, you can hit about 9.5k with em... relic (use power not surge/crit) + adrenalin + stim + 15% damage...
