Okay... So, we had to figure out the "transfer pattern" ouselves (Thanks to those who sorted the transfer list by server type!) So, BW said they would be monitoring servers over the weekend... Ok, enjoy your weekend, go fishing or whatever, check server data this morning, I dont care, BUT: Now it is Monday afternoon in the EU and we had a "scheduled" maintainance patch today, that was neither annouced nor feels scheduled, no patch notes yet or why servers went down. (BW, you are still patching tomorrow as announced, right???) And no word whatsoever yet how or IF server transfer will continue... Well, I am sitting on Frostclaw ready for transfer since middle of last week with my chars having theirs bags full with all that stuff that I usually got on the GTN. Seriously, if you dont know what to announce yet, then at least announce when you expect to be able to annouce something! Even your silly twitter account went silent 4 hours ago! (with a server is up message that could as well have been an automated post)

I want Colicoid as a playable race... those bugs just rule.

Well, then go at your own pace there not during prime time when it is crowded.

So basically you are asking to make all of BH an Heroic4 area and Torvix/Shadow a miniOP? No, thanks.

No one forced you to transfer and if you can solo Torvix, what do you need daily comms and BH comms for anyway? However, please do post your tactics for soloing Torvix, so BW can nerf it. (I guess they need: more stealth detectors, no way to avoid or kite the last fight before puzzle-killing Torvix)

Yes... I can see it. You create PHs for the names, then you transfer your chars, you log in and will be asked to change all your developed chars names because all their names got taken by someone (yourself!) for other chars on that destination server already. Unless you plan on deleting the PH right before you do the transfer request, but that means a lot of logging in and logging out. Also, did a dev anywhere state what happens if you run out of char slots? Do you have to delete a char on teh destination server then first before transferring more across?

Actually there r 4 server types: PVE, PVP, RP-PVE and RP-PVP With 3 languages in EU there will be a at least 12 EU servers left on the list. US got 2 zones, so its at least 6 servers, but I doubt it ever gonna be that few servers over there. ASIAN is running 3 servers now (no RP-PVP) and as far as I know those are full. (seen someone rage here because he couldnt transfer to his Aussie server because it was full and locked)

I looked at the English EU servers... The Red Eclipse (PVE) has 9 origin servers assigned now and is the ONLY EU english PVE destination server so far! (as far as I could tell) Tomb of Freedon Nadd (PVP) has 14 origin servers assigned now. Since the number 4 PVE EU english server (according to torstatus.net) already got flagged as origin server for Red Eclipse: Optimistically I would say there gonna be no more than 3 populated EU English PVE servers left. :S

CS and communication was way worse in every single MMORPG I played before: SOE, Blizzard, NCsoft or whoever. Yes, BW could be better, but they announce ahead of time and what they announced is exactly what is happening and usually faster than announced. Almost all my tickets and bug reports are answered directly. e.g. SOE on Vanguard took the /bug command out of the game the day the game went live. SWTOR is still allowing us to use the /bug ticket system including an ingame livechat support.

Yes, starter world Heroics should be added to the groupfinder, also on every starter planet there is some kind of mini world boss, that only gets killed by the odd high lvl passing the area for later on class quests. Esseles and Black Talon are special (diffrent), but I dont think they should unlock in the Group Finder before you are done with the starterplanet class quest (which should not before lvl10), but you should be able to flag your companions for it and be able to do it up to lvl15 or 16 (at lvl18 you stop getting xp on a Ess/BT run) Also there should be no lvl gap between the starter FP and Hammerstation or at any otehr point in the lvl spread for FPs on the group finder.

There is a Fleet Shuttle on every planet, easy to get to. People are just too used to using the Fleet Pass Skill, also BW really needs to mark the Fleet Shuttles on all maps (including Quick Travel Maps), then no one would even get the idea to abuse the Group Finder for it. (unless you have the goal to get on as many ignore lists as possible)

^^ THIS I would like to add: ...you only need to ever roll one char to eventually make it to Legacy 50 and to gain access to all Legacy features and perks (the Legacy pet unlock in 1.3 may be the first exception to that rule, for it you will need one Rep and one Emp lvl50 char) ...rested xp bonus (the green on your xp bar) does not apply to lvl50s (you may now speculate if the rested bonus does boost Legacy xp progression while leveling up Alts or if its still faster with your 50) ...at lvl 50 your character xp will show 0, once the lvl cap is raised everyone will have to xp grind through all of lvl50 to reach lvl51 and beyond. However, just lvl up to 50 and relax. The game does not stop at lvl50 but just begins. It also helps to read all the Information ingame that is available on your Legacy window.

It also helps if you first make Santa totally drunk and stroke the easter bunny heavily while REing stuff... 100% no fail rate EVERY TIME if you do it this way! (as in my last post mentioned the 20+ green augs that I failed to RE, I was on my ship)

It is working fine, though I think BW should up the rate a bit more. 20% is still way too low. My first augment (aim one with armormech) I tried to RE: took way over 20 attempts (at 20%) on the green ones to get the blue schem (and yes I grew desperate, thinking REing augments may be bugged) Then first blue aug REed (at 10% chance) got me the purple. 8-) Man, was I happy. (And then it took a felt forever to farm the mats for the purple aug on my slicer... but now I got that too done and may even think about selling some on the GTN)

With all teh Whinning aboutteh controlled and gradual and transparent transfers, next time BW should just allow everyone to transfer from teh get-go...with weeks long que list then of course. But at least you special people are then all transferred first.

With so many people that left Frostclaw in the past weeks (blame D3 and GW2) you better pray that we dont find us on the Origin side of the servers! And OF COURSE the heavy servers are the first destinations (for the really dead servers), that is the only way to spread out the destination servers.

What about me or me or even me then? Obviously every server on teh current list was even more totally dead than your Anchorhead server. That said, if your server is that dead, you will find your server ready for transfer very soon. Better be happy now, that transfers do happen this fast instead of the announced up to 3 hours or more!

That is a list of the Origin servers only.

No list of destination servers... guess they wanted to avoid the outcry that all those origin servers to transfer to the heavily loaded ones. (There is a closed thread complaining about Fatman being a destination) That Fatman is a destination doesnt mean that BW is prefering the heavy servers but it only means that the first origin servers are really really really dead. So, where are the Cheers and the "Jubel" of those that migrated to the heavy servers months ago and now find their old chars transferred over, too?

There is a Back-To-Fleet Shuttle on every planet, you just need to QT close to it and use it. However, BW should mark those shuttles on the maps including the QT map. (Also I think that these shuttles could be used to initiate the port-to-group, instead of being just teleported from wherever you are...just for the ingame immersion. And after the FP is done a window pops up asking you if u want to go back to Fleet/Ilum or back to the shuttle you came from)

UT works fine for me (Frostclaw Server), purple metal yield is low but not lower than usual. If you are running low lvl mission that will reset the higher ones too, being able to reset every 2mins.

Usually there is no need to AE tank. I just jump the strongest not-CCed target there is (usually placing hotkeyed marker on it, so people know where I jump+attack first) If some mob is loose and about to kill a dps or my healer I can just target it+taunt it (30m range!) or use choke on it+switch back to my first target to keep killing it. Here is one way how to AE tank all the Rakghouls (all non ranged): (sorry, i never bother to learn skill names, so i reduce it to function) - people CC their targets - u jump ur target - u hit AE taunt - u jump back to ur healer (u got that skill at lvl50, helps if u use focus-target toggle for it, healer cant be too far away else the AE taunt timer wears off. I also love jumping back to my healer before jumping forth to my next target, just because it feels cool and i am too lazy to walk) - force-taunted mobs will follow u and gang up on u, away from the CC targets - use ur AE DD > AE snare > AE stun > cone DD (the AE snare at least seems to generate zero threat though) The other way is to toggle through targets... jump one, push one and jump another, doing AE taunt, AE stuns and AE snare in between. However in groups usually expect the tank to pick a target so they can simply assist you and burn the mob down, thus expect people to look at you funny if you switch targets midfight. This is one way to do it, though all the trash mobs gonna be killed by the dps before u r halfway done. I do this sometimes though in PVE to keep my companion alive. In 1.3 we get an AE with high threat and DD that doesnt break CC, but that one only gonna trigger if your target got 5 stacks of the armor debuff on it plus the skill got a 12sec recast and most trash is dead way before that.

Eventually BW will add new classes. Maybe next year or so with 2.0? And I bet it gonna be with a purchable expansion pack. Imperial Trooper (all Pierce+Quinn feeling) is totally missing. On Rep side the smuggler is somwhere in between a BH and an Agent, so I am unsure if rather a Republic Agent/AMbassador or a Republic Headhunter is missing... 3rd faction would be Hutt faction based chars, but dont think I am too excited about working for the slugs.

Whats this got to do with SWTOR!? OP, become a polyamorist and keep both girls, the younger one being able to learn maturity things from the ex-gf, too.

You are so great and totally awesome. If credits are worthless, why did you bother to hoard so much to begin with?
