I read that, and that is part of the reason for my concern. Does F2p necessarily mean the game is a failure though?
It does mean a problem when the original design of the game was based on a subscription service. It shows that BW/EA is not making enough profit to support the game as a subscription. Thus coming up with ways to change their business model and turn a profit. If F2P does happen, I sense their will be another round of cuts in their staff. Obviously they need to start making money again before they can begin adding new content. I sense we will get thin content updates until that day happens.
I really do hope they can turn this game around, its Star Wars for gods sake. So much potential with the IP, but bad game designs just killed this game. If this game does die, I hope another more experienced developer can step up to the plate and do justice to the Star Wars IP.

You're in a FP for the 50th time and someone in the group, new to that flashpoint, wants to watch the story content. Will you be ok with it? Will you drop group? Try to kick that player for slowing down the pug?
This is actually something I'm a little worried about. I love the spacebar infested Esseles run as much as the next guy, but I also understand that not everyone has seen all of the content and may want to sit back and enjoy it. There's already been a few instances on PTS were someone got kicked from a group for refusing the spacebar that I know of.
What are your thoughts on this?
If they never seen it before the answer is simple....Don't be a jerk and let them see it. People are so impatient.... young-lings these days.

Go by a Razar Naga and get some gear...that is all

i have recently returned, to find my server is a ghost town and that this problem is wide spread and without a general population this game wont be able to carry on,
my question is will 1.3 be enough to keep old players busy and enough to bring back old subs and encourage new players to join, because this seems like its heading F2P or closure.
I will just prolong its death for a couple months. I would not be surprised if the game is down to 3 or 4 severs by the end of the year.

I have a similar problem when traveling on my speeder. I got my map up navigating, and I am missing out on the surroundings as i am focused on looking at the map dot....
-
My guild is thinking of waiting a couple of weeks before making a decision.
What are you guys waiting for? Sever is 1 to 1 transfer right, unless you are waiting for the paid transfer?
-
I do not use adrenals, but I still melt healers on my PT. Even without relics I do not see this changing. But other classes I can not say if they will have a hard time or not, since I have no experience.

Hello,
I wanted to make this post because I'm so tired of seeing people playing for medals rather than to play to win. It's kinda annoying.
There are so many examples of people playing for medals rather than playing to win and it just causes matches to be lost.
I'll give my two most recent examples I've seen that are really annoying.
1. a guardian in civil war runs west and caps andthen automatically takes off for mid, leaving nobody west.
2. in Huttball a gunslinger is ontop of the structure overlooking mid, someone passes him the ball, rather than even trying to find someone to pas it to, he throws it to an opposing player instantly ( right after receiving it) and then starts shooting the opposing player. He had people open but did not even try. His goal was to get points.
Hey I could do this too, but I'd rather try and win matches.
My suggestion is to remove all the little medal proc disp[lays and just total them up at the end. What the current system promotes is for people to farm medals, which is a poor pvp design.
I guess if BW does not listen I can just stand there and hit noble sac and heal myself for 500k healing while standing behind a node for the duration of a match and laugh at the people who complain. Which is the current reverse of what I do.
Play to win is much better than play for medals.
Only time I play to win is when I want to get my weekly done. Aside from that, more medals more everything...valor, coms, credits....Why would anyone else do otherwise...Its not like we got the playoffs to look forward to.

Anyone willing to post a screenie or two to show the optimal way of setting up bars/ hotkeys for a Pyro build.
I just got back to this game, a little rusty and haven't found a great setup that I really like yet.
Thank you
Go buy a Razar Naga....key binding on a keyboard for the major abilities is for chumps. You can bind up to 15 keys just on your mouse. You master that, all your abilities can be done through your thumb. So much faster than pressing keys on a keyboard.
-
What are these defensive cooldowns of a PyroVanguard you are talking about?
That is what I would like to know. There must be some secret un-lockable abilities I am too stupid to know about. Please share the insights...As of right now I only know of a 2min CD 25% damage reduction ability....
-
I still have trouble deciding and it is bugging me. What about you?
I chose Fat (body 4), bald, old and ugly.....I try to resemble myself in real life
-
locked in 3...2...1.....blast off into internet oblivion!
-
just thinking i really miss things like questhelper, auctioneer, recount, DMB, and Omen. all things that make raiding, min/max'ing and managing the GTN more rewarding and manageable. i'm guessing since there aren't any yet it's a BW decision to not allow them to work at this time..
but will they be allowed/accepted in a future time? just curious
Do not think BW has the budget to do anything new. They probably got enough content up to 1.4 that was already worked on since launch. Rest is smooth cruise control into maintenance mode, just like Warhammer Online.
-
i checked out this torstatus.net and found my old server to be dead for as long as it shows, but noticed somethign even more interesting.
The Fatman's activity has actually dropped since the start of transfers. More people have left to their original servers then have been transfered onto the Fatman. if this continues, there would be no reason to start tranfers to another east coast pvp server
I was afraid of this......but I see new origin servers with destination as Fatman. Hopefully things will balance out. For now my Merc and Mara on one server and my Operative and Power Tech is on another. I am waiting for the PAID TRANSFERS BW!!

Greetings!
Coming back to the game after a bit of a break. Thinking about playing our Sith friends (although I can't imagine abandoning the Republic in the end) . :-) Mostly a PvE player. I have heard there are some servers which are becoming vastly underpopulated. I want to avoid those and find folks to actually meet online.
Any recommendations on servers before I redownload and start creating toons?
(posted in the wrong forum before - sorry about that)
I would wait until the servers transfers happen. There will be a new FOTM server for sure....
-
Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on the content announced at E3, the new level cap, new planet etc.
I have a suspicious feeling all the content announced was meant for a future expansion pack. But with the recent cut backs at BW, EA has pulled the plug on any future publishing support for SWTOR and forced to offer it for free to try and gain back subs.
This suspiciously reminds me of Warhammer Online. If anyone recalls, WAR started out strong, but quickly fissiled just like SWTOR. Budget cuts, people were fired, mass population drop and server merges. Then the announcement of free content called "Land of the Dead" another seriously failed addition and bug infested content. . This remind anyone of what currently is going on with SWTOR?
I think Mythic had to give up on their dreams of a paid expansion to try and get back to subs by offering "Land of the Dead" free....yet miserably failed. I sense BW is being forced to offer this new content to try and win some subs back. Unless SWTOR regains some sub numbers back, we are looking at a future of maintenance mode for SWTOR.
Anyone feel the same?

I know many of you here are proud subscribers of the game, myself included. My question here is for the people that are unsubscribed.
1.3 comes server transfers and LFG Tool. These are features that should have been in at launch, and I think contributed to the decline in subscribers. So will those of you that are currently not subbed to the game return with this patch? Are your friends returning?
I know some people returning to this game on Wednesday, and I'm curious if I'm not the only one.
I for one am hoping and praying that people will return to TOR after 1.3. I want to play with a more diverse pool of players. I am also excited that for the first time I will be attempting some PVE. I had not interest or motivation to spam /general chat. But now that these missions are a click away I will be the first to jump into the group finder.
But I think the ship has sailed already and 80% of the players that quit will probably not return.
-
And those of the links (well the first anyway) that will have the very information that people are asking for .. on the 12th ... like they keep saying.
Whether they release the information a day before they start the transfers or on the same day makes no difference - we are all going to do the same thing regardless of when we get the information.
BJ
Keeping your customers in the dark to the very last minute breeds distrust. I would be like me telling my customers, give me your money and when the product ships out the door we will let you know how much it costs
Come on, what kind of business practice is that? hmmm???
Fail BW shame on you.
-
I hope The Fatman doesn't die when transfers go live. I like that server now and I got my characters on it that I like now. It would suck immensly to get settled on that server just to see it die with transfers
This is my fear as well. I rerolled to fatman 3 months ago when my server died. Now I have several toons invested there. Once people are able to play their old toons again i sense they will jump ship. And all the lv10-30's range players that never progress beyond these levels will move to what ever the FOTM server is. Thus leaving fatman a dead sever. Ugh...I wanna keep playing my PT, do not make me reroll again BW!!!!

That makey no sensey.
I'm not sure if this was posted before but it's not on the first page so I'm guessing it's not a hot topic right now.
I just think it's a little inconvenient to not be able to "rest" at home.
Rest meaning you gain "rested xp" or are you wanting the ability to lay down on a bed? Would be nice on those occasions when you want to bed your companion...a waterbed would be nice. For the young ones a water bed is as it sounds, the mattress is water and not springs and foam.
-
What is the highest populated or most active server in game???
In North America side, there is only 1 heavily populated server. That would be "The Fatman". A handful of servers, like 3-4 might go standard, the rest are light and have maybe 10-50 people total per server.
-
So I come from SWG, and I dabbled in a little of LotRO and DC Universe. SWTOR by far has the nicest looking worlds, but there's one problem. They feel dead compared to other MMOs. Nothing ever changes. Hardly any NPCs ever move. Some may gesture, but they all stay in the same place. There's no day/night or weather cycle, so the whole world seems static.
I love the game for what it is, but it's hard to truly immerse myself in the world because it doesn't really feel like one. Everything feels static and lifeless to me. Am I alone?
Yes it is lifeless as my Friday nights, but I can say my left hand is sure busy.

BJ
Thanks BJ but worthless information, people need to know more. The Alleged transfers are tomorrow and not one peep from BW on the details. I for one would like to now how long of a down time are we going to have in the transfer, I assume the our characters will not be playable during the transfers. With such a massive amount of transfers, does BW not need to take the servers down? Or has the population dropped so much no down time on the servers are need?
I can not believe BW has not given us anymore explanation on what is going to happen. I have a bad feeling we will get an announcement today stating...oops we are incompetent and need more time to work out the transfers. Stay tuned, more information to come......it will be soon!
-
As the the title says. Does TOR still have enough players to keep going? Now I'm not trying to start any arguments, I'd just be really interested to know how many ppl still play.
Take right now for example, it's around mid-day on sunday and on the top 5 eu servers there are like 10 ppl in fleet. Funneling ppl together with the coming char transfers might make the few destination servers a bit more active, but can the game keep running with the current subscriber amount?
Anyone spewing that SWTOR has 1.3 million subs is hog wash and completely delusional. Just like BW tried to feed us crap that people are just not logging in as much since the launch of the game and everything is fine and dandy. That's why we saw the massive layoffs at BW.
1.3 will be the test, lets see how many people will jump ship once 1.3 rolls out.
Anything gonna interfer with you trying out 1.3 tomorrow?
