Horrible to say it but the fact that the busiest servers on the game have around 100 people in their only major city at peak times on peak days is the proof that it's dying.

Why would Diablo 3 stop people playing SWTOR? Honestly, i'm baffled by the ****dummery of this question. I play MW3, SWTOR, The Witcher 2 when I feel like playing each one.... why would Diablo 3 change anything, it looks like ****.

Actually, if you want simple economic theory then you would say given a set of competing priorities and scarce resources you are probably investing in a weak and dying market so look for something more niche and use your money and resources for something they are more suited for.

No.... no they didn't. They said it was going to be the best MMO of all time with the biggest sign ups and that you would be getting an experience unlike any other in a Star Wars environment. At no point did they say "you see the gear customisation, fluid gameplay, solid style and looks you're getting in the beta? Well we're not going to give you any of that on release, we're not going to fix any of the major issues with any of the patches, and we will give up on you the moment it starts... like an abortion."

Servers mergers are extremely rarely done by actually merging the servers, they usually call it "server migration" as they just get everyone from one server to reroll on another one for free whilst having to choose a name again. 99% of the time the busier server gets to keep their names as that's the one being migrated onto.

a wild charizard appears!

Irony, she is a cruel mistress. When you accuse someone of accusing other people of things without using facts, there's something you should use to make your point otherwise you become what is called a hypocrite. Everyone here is agreeing with me, and it's true you can see it by going back on a medium population server in WoW like Stormrage EU, which has thousands on at non-peak times. This game has, sadly, become purgatory whilst people wait for either GW2, WoWPanda, or for another MMO to rise. Only difference between this and purgatory is that there are people in purgatory. Come on guy, you have to admit that 100 people on the major... actually the ONLY major city/environment of an MMO at peak times is horrifically weak. I ask only 1 question of you and that is all... is 100 people on the imperial or republic fleet on some of the busiest EU servers, like Legions of Lettow, a "busy" MMO?

So don't worry, this easily patchable problem will be fixed in their major update and patch in which they add new content.... could be done on Tuesday... hmmmmnope.

Ah yes... I see your point.... Their MMO which was meant to be this moneymaking, groundbreaking and longtime market topper is so bad that literally the next game they bring out overshadows it.

Legions of Lettow, there's almost never more than 90 people on the Republic fleet on any night. So what if you can PvP when you want that doesn't make it busy. If you raid most nights and you say you're pugging you're lying through your teeth. If you're doing it with a guild then you're in one of the only remaining guilds who are doing it before 1.2. To be honest you're just lying.

Oh I don't know about that. This game is a prime example of why they are getting awards like this. Horrible release, horrific updates doing nothing, lazy customer service and a truly idiotic moderator base, tiny mindedness when it comes to scope of how to grow the game and keep people interested. They're a gaming company, they get judged on their games for these awards, this is their prime game at the moment.

The game seems pretty dead when I log in now, I haven't been on in over a week and neither have any of the 50+ people in the guild, and we're on one of the busier EU servers. Frightening how fast it died and how horribly the BW update and patching capability is of the most simple things that could improve game-play. I was a gigantic SWTOR advocate and defender at first but everyone I know who plays is bored to hell with this game and is just waiting till 1.2 to see if there's any improvement whatsoever before jumping ship to GW2 or another MMO as soon as. Sad really because I love the possibilities of this game, truly endless, but horrifically executed.

I've never been stunlocked to full HP to dead in a 1 on 1 fight.... what are you doing? If theres 6 sorcerers around you then you should be killed before the second stun finishes after you have broken the first.

I am always really happy to see a couple of Guardians/Vanguards/Shadow tanks on my team because they can be absolutely pivotal to the game. Especially in huttball, but really pivotal in the other game types too. Knowing how to use your class is what makes it worth playing or not, if you're finding yourself getting hammered in every game you play maybe your just not very good yet.

Scoundrels/Imperial Agents/Marauders/Sentinels can quite easily kick the everliving crap out of healers. I have a friend who is a shadow and all he does is targets the best healer in the group, gets behind them in stealth, "saps" them (come on it is), then when they break it stuns them and slaps the hell out of them. Healers are easy to kill if you know what you're doing, and that's the point... it should be hard to kill well geared good players, and certain classes should have a hard time against specific other classes and be better against others.

I don't think knockbacks should be counted though, you should always be vulnerable to knockbacks.

Yeah if you go into a WZ with a group it should remember the group so you are still together afterwards, that can't be so hard surely?

Some of the stuff said by the OP is fair enough because QQ'ing is annoying as hell but will always happen (There was a guy in general chat complaining it was too hard to level from 1 to 10 when I was on yesterday), but some of the stuff said is actually a bug so needs to be reported. The whole PvP east turret firing twice when imperials control it thing is a legitimate bug and needs to be reported on.

I can't seem to find information on it anywhere but I have seen it a good number of times where the person holding the huttball in PvP matches becomes immune to being knocked back by things like the sage/shadow force knockback. I have also had it quite a few times where a sage and sorcerer (or enter other relevant classes) both do their force knockback at the same time and either only one of them goes flying, or they both don't go anywhere. Does holding the huttball give you a buff which makes you immune to knockbacks for a period? Or do abilities like "unstoppable" in the Juggernaught tree class knockbacks as "controlling" effects?

..... you have your ship... and the planets are sparse enough of people already. You want people to all be sat in their houses and to never see anyone else again?

Voss should 100% be a new playable race, look and sound just awesome. If you make them a race the Gormak should be too. Apart from them Cathar, Gran, Iktotchi, Kel Dor, Mon kalamari, Nautolan, Rodian, Togruta, Trandoshan and pretty much every other race you can think of because why on earth would you skimp on racial choices and variation in a brand new modern MMO?!!! I honestly can't fathom why they wouldn't be looking to put in as much customisation and variation as possible in a game with such wide scope. They should make a lot more races playable, a lot more class types, and a lot more customisation options (gear hood up and down and colour choices to say the least), such as height and weight sliders, facial proportion sliders and colour sliders.

Also: did anyone else notice that in the trailer for the flashpoint half way down the page they use high res textures? for crying out loud.

This looks absolutely awesome.... just awesome. This is the kind of shizznow I've been looking forward to, I didn't even expect something like this.

I've been googling and I still can't find anything... Is there an official reason as to why High Res Textures aren't in the game yet?

Yeah I love this game but the customisation options could be so much better. It's not a priority or anything but if you release a brand new MMO looking to take up a chunk of market share one area you could try to dominate is variation. Hoods up/hoods down option. Hoods over masks. Colour match outfits. The ability to dye your outfit to whatever you want. Height Slider. Weight Slider. As many playable races as physically possible: this can't be all that hard to implement. More faces to choose from as even the distinctly asian looking faces make the character look lie a white guy. More hair options, especially long hair... as why can't there be a long hair option? I understand the hair in this game is static (although tentacles on twi'lecks are not as much) but with a little bit of care long hair is an easy fit. Just imagine the change in the feel of the game, and how much more diverse it would be if these options were available. Also in the future there should be a "design your own lightsaber/gun option".
