Most likely they only calculate fights agains the other faction. This means when people leveled up Empire had a 53% winrate against Republic even if they in many many cases did not had a lot of experience fighting in WFs outside of hutball (Empire got a ton more same faction hutball matches than republic got). So even with a lower experience from those non hutball WFs they won more than they lost. This was old data and most folks was leveling up then though. //Kamasuthra

Hi, no not really closed.This number is firstly old and was before many people became lvl 50. Basically this number showed that when people leveled up and had little clue about the end game PvP mechanics the winrate was fairly similair. It was also before the 50 bracket was introduced. I would expect the winrate in the 50s bracket to differ much from this. //Kamasuthra

Hi, I see a lot of comments regarding that Emp side have a higher winrate than Rep side in WZs. In order to try to understand if there actually is a demographical difference between the factions I decided to do a Poll to gather background info on what players PvP much at both sides. Here is the link, results will be published on sunday the 29th of January. http://kwiksurveys.com?s=OBEIIJ_9cc50b1 So go ahead and show us who Empire/Republic players really are Disclaimer: There will be many opinions on what questions should have been included or not. I do not claim this to be a full fletched survey but some info is better than no info in my book Also imnot native in english so please excuse the spelling errors. Cheers //Kamasuthra

Hehe well dont think thats gonna happen unfortunately ;-)

Thanks, good summary

Hi, I agree that actually these types of polls could be of use for BioWare etc

This would be true if it was a "rate SWTOR" type of poll but this poll is just a poll on what things to prioritize and thus most likely the difference between us forum folks and the non forum folks is probably not as large

It sais in the start 1011 people participated..

It was very similair with slightly higher % of level 50s on the Imperial side. If we had 10K answers there could be possible to do much more detailed analysis. Problem with 1K answers is that if you first filter out republic and then for example level 50s and then on a PvP server you end up with around 1000x 0.45x 0.3x 0.46 = 60ish answers and then its hard to make any good analysis..

Hope its better now, if not say whats wrong

Thanks was a pleasure. In my opinion it looks like if BioWare very fast could improve character responsivness via reduced ability lag and actually make sure abilities ALWAYS fire when pressed plus improve FPS and reduce the number of tough bugs in endgame PvE, that would together with a clear timetable for more content and a remake of end game crafting be whats needed to keep people happy for the next few months. //Kamasuthra

Hi, Reposting this in its own thread so everyone can see the results. Original thread is here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=172162 There are many different opinions on what should be fixed or improved in this game. In order to help Bioware prioritize what to work on I have created a fairly large survey where you can vote on what you believe is important to fix first in this game. We all want this game to get better so take 3 minutes and vote now! Poll is now closed, below are the results. The top 3 list of things the forum community wants fixed as fast as possible are (numbers on a scale 1-5): Abilities not firing off 4.59 Ability delay 4.34 More rewarding end game crafting 4.16 Heres a top 10 list created by.. General comments: We got 1011 respondents answering the poll. Thanks to evertyone taking the time. First a few word on the results and how i calculated. Every question that had a possibility to be answer in a "graded" way i rated the answers as below: Not important at all =1 Slightly important = 2 Somewhat important = 3 Important = 4 Very Important =5 The poll GUI then automatically calculates the medium value. A value above 4 indicates a very very strong wish for a fix of this issue as a value above 4 means more people have answered "important" or "very important" than any of the other three choices. A value below 2 indicates that the issue do not need to be fixed at all. In the "graded" questions I had a N/A alternative. This was used by very few people (the highest one being 6% of total answers for the question regarding "More raids". As this was used so rarely I have not calculated these answers at all. Answers did not differ much if they came from a republic player or empire player except on one question with players from PvP servers where empire players are more concerned about population imbalance than republic players. Imp= 3.11 and Rep = 2.18. I have myself a 50imp and a close to 50 rep char and playing my rep char is actually much more fun as there is a lot more 1:1 situations in world PvP. When i play my Imp char i rarely see anyone from the oposing team maybe thats why? So off to the answers, including comments: Question 1: What faction is your main character? Republic: 44,5% Imperial: 55,5% Comments: More republic players than i expected. It feels like the ratio is more like 2:1 in Imperial favor when playing the game but maybe republics are just better at answering polls ;-)? Question 2: What level is your main? (Rounded to full % on answers) 1-10 0% 11-20 6% 21-30 14% 31-40 25% 41-49 24% 50 31% Comments: Not much comments here, maybe a bit overrespresentation on lvl 50s on the forum thats why we have most likely more in the poll than in the general server population. Question 3: What type of server is your main on? PvE 56,4% PvP 43,6% Comments: Im sure the PvP players are overrespresented in this poll i do not believe they are almost half the population. Almost same % of PvPers on both Rep and Imp side in the survey. Question 4: What primary role is your main? Tank: 35.1% DPS: 50.4% Healer: 14.5% Comments: Very normal MMO numbers on DPS/Healer ratio but more tanks than expected. Maybe its because tanks can have healing companions in this game so its easier solo as a tank than in other MMO:s? Question 5: How important do you think it is BioWare fixes/improvess the following FPS: 3.53 Server queue times: 1.97 High resolution textures: 3.45 Ability delay: 4.34 Lag: 3.53 Comments: As said in the start a number above 4 indicates an issue is extremely important to the playerbase. Ability delay being close to 4.5 means it needs to be fixed asap. The % of people answering "Very Important" on ability delay was close to 60%!! Overall it looks like High resolution textures, lag and FPS are rather important to but server queue times are not. Question 6: How important do you think it is Bioware fixes/implements the following: Faction inbalance 2.79 More customization of armor/weapon graphics in game 3.75 Possibility to dual spec 2.92 Possibility to switch faction 1.64 Possibility to server transfer 2.49 Possibility to customize the UI 4,00 Possibility to see a combat log 3,20 Possibility to use addons 2.63 Possibility to use macros 2.83 More rewarding endgame crafting 4.16 Less sharded/theampark feel in the game 3.41 Comments: Looks like the forum voiced their opinion regarding addons and macros not being of a huge importance to add to the game despite the number of posts asking for it in the past. This kinda surprised me but personally im fine with no addons/macros. Possibility to customize the UI and more rewarding endgame crafting stands out as very important to fix in the short term. Also more armor/wepon graphics seems to be requested. There is very little support for the idea to switch faction and pretty little for server transfer. Question 7: How important do you think it is that Bioware fixes the following: Quest bugs (quests not updating etc) 3.93 Flashpoint bugs (loot bugs, boss bugs etc) 4.11 Raid bugs (loot bugs, boss bugs etc) 4.14 PvP bugs (que crashing you to char select, won matches not counting towards daily quests etc) 4.02 (close to 4.2 on PvP servers) The "green-yellow lazer" graphic bug 3,25 Abilities not firing off when pressed 4,59 Comments: In the above we find the number one thing to fix in this poll. The "abilities not fireing off when pressed" has above 70% of the people voting "very important". This might be linked in some way with the second highest priority "ability delay". Most likely what BioWare should do asap (unless they already do it) is to spare no resources to try to fix the responsivnes of the game. On a sidenote regarding ability delay i have as mentioned before a 50 operative and a soon to be 50 scoundrel (both healspeced and exactly mirror classes) and the scoundrel has significantly more ability delay and abilities not fireing off. They are however on different servers (both EU and both similair ping though) so maybe the server has something to do with this issue also and that could explain why some people feel very little ability delay and some have more? Also bug fixes are important in all categories above. Question 8: How important do you think it is that Bioware fixes/implements the following: More leveling content 2.73 More Flashpoint content 3.32 More Raid content 3.48 Adding a "two target system" where you can heal a target and attack that targets target if using an offensive ability 3.53 Mouseover healing 3.16 Comments: Nothing that really stands out here. Interrestingly enough many people that are under level 50 have rated "more raid content" as very important without trying the actual content themselves. I guess the buzz on the forums of having no end game content in the game maybe flavoured their responses ;-) Question 9: How important is it that Bioware fixes/implements PvP class balance 3.30 Biochem reusables/trinkets balance 3.03 More (rewarding and amount of) world PvP 3.53 More Warzones 3.63 Rated Warzones 3.07 Arena type of PvP 2.35 Comments: Its a difference between people from a PvE or a PvP server here on the answers. The difference is also bigger between lvl 50s and the ones below level 50. Level 50s on PvP servers wants in higher degree than the average "more warzones" "more world PvP" and "Biochem reusable/trinkets balance". Not very hard to figure our PvP server people would vote for more PvP though ;-) We can also see that the forum community do not think arena PvP is important and are fairly neutral to rated warzones. This is also true on PvP servers. Also interresting is to see that class balance as early as 1 month after release is not a higher number than it is. Generally this indicates that balance is fairly well implemented even so close to launch. Question 10: Would you like more or less CC in PvP? More 2.2% 2 Less 32.6% 33 Its allright at the moment 65.2% Comments: As i forgot to put a N/A alternative I believe people that wanted to answer N/A did answer the "its alright at the moment". Slightly more people on the PvP servers want "less" CC. Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J366FVP *Disclaimer* There will ofc be tons of different views on what should have been included in this survey and I do not claim it to be complete in any way. However its better to get structured feedback to Bioware from a survey even if its not including every aspect of the game than to just randomly complain or voice opinions on the forum. //Kamasuthra

Results are now up in start of this post. Cheers //Kamasuthra

Hi, Im not a techy guy but you are running this with a built in intel graphic card and not a dedicated graphic card as far as I see right? That will never ever give you any performance at all and must be under the minimum specs the game needs by far I would guess.

Close to 900 participants now so just above 100 more and we hit 1K...great!

Over 800 participants now good good..

Thank you for taking the time to take the survey and thank you very much for the kind words:)

Hi, Could not get every question into the survey but there is one for more customization of armor/weapon greaphics though

Thanks! We have 711 votes now just 289 more to hit 1K!!

Keep voting in the poll please we are soon at 700 people taking the poll and I would idealy like to have more than 1K respondents:)

Hi, I agree it could have been a lot better but im not a professional poll maker plus I only had limited "free time" at work when doing it so well its better than nothing I suppose

On tuesday I will post the entire results dont worry

HI I totally agree on that even if forum viewers views might be more extreme than the average players view most likely the issues experienced are very similair.

Thanks, I will keep updating my original post with a top3 list and then on tuesday comes the full results

Updated original post with the top 3 issues so far ranked by players..
