and here we go again....

your a bit unsure about the undecided but you lumped them with positives.... it could be leaning towards the negatives. the percents are wrong 30% and change to 57% and change with the other 12 % unsure about it.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=264965&page=2 I think the mod missed the whole point that something was said about it and redirected the link to here. That is the kind of spin moderation that makes the community feel ignored.

They knew five days in advance but ignored the poster... They knew a week in advanced and went with the positive only not the neg. posting of the few testers... The person who wrote the code needs a beating, the person who oked it needs a beating and fired.

84-04 naval corpsman here... in the same boat and the only time I would tell someone to rub dirt in it and carry on would be in a firefight. Now I have found out what is causing this issue in myself I eliminated it... no motion sickness no migraine today the only difference is I did not play today.

(Very little feedback was received on the PTS Forum before the patch was deployed to the live servers, otherwise changes may have been made before the patch's deployment.) I call BS. Even on the first page of the PTR forums 5 days ago there was a post warning you about the flashing garbage and you ignored it. Not having been a forum camper in the PTR forums the real indication of the testers giving neg feedback is not going to be known. If any indication on how quickly the threads are snuffed out on the main forum. It gives your company an unfair view of what people are saying and the general population that the test server is in agreement. It also is shortsighted to ignore someone bringing up a valid point. The first two versions were playable. This current version and lack of response AFTER 24 hours is enough to have people cancel and just not care... WHY? Because it is more than obvious you just wanted our money and would rather ignore us instead of owning up to shortsighted coding mistake that will have farther reaching game crippling issues in the long run on your subscriber base. Somewhere there is a disconnection of dev to testers and the testers being ignored and the devs just doing it anyways. The issues from beta to launch not that big of a deal in my book since it was to increase overall game play.... chest matching is a non issue, high res texture is a non issue, aa disabled a non issue... This first adjust to the ui was annoying since it could be visually ignored for the most part and did not disconnect me from my play with stuttering animations and game immersion... This last forced on me "fix" added an invasive color and glare dynamic that is distracting, strobe like effect and adding into the poor design of the red white letters forcing my visual focus from combat to the edges of my screen and focusing on the same two colors and glare dynamic which is what is causing the issue. It is an added strobe effect on the edges of my vision that is causing a motion sickness effect and headache. It was not broken to begin with and instead of listening to the positive feedback and posts of people you pushed it anyways... some have adapted but others cannot since the added no no strobe has been forced on them. One poster got it correct about the cycle of us and them mentality that is overwhelmingly clear to us now.. You guys are going to do what you want when you want to do it instead of correcting the issues that are at hand, the rest of us be damned. So for you to actually take note and listen I have spoken with the loudest form of displeasure and canceled my subscription and stated why. You guys were given a golden cash cow to succeed with but you are shooting yourselves in the foot....

LOL I do not see how people threatening to contact a paid for rating for profit non enity like the BBb is a threat to any business.

OK in an agreement with you I do feel short changed, cost of edition and month of paid play time. By yesterday the motion sickness and headache did not go away until I went into a dark area and slept it off.

Spaced out bloom effected particles can be made more subtle. They are also in the main focal point of your game play vs. on the edge harsh bright lit strobe effects. So for an example I was talking to a buddy of mine who was asking me about this game yesterday, I pulled up the youtube video on my android and the first words out of his non gamer mouth were "puke and seizure inducing!! and that is on a 2.5" screen!"

Dude stop torturing yourself and do what others have suggested... Make them listen via unsubbing.

This and I do find this unacceptable in any fashion from a customer standpoint. This from a customer service standpoint is a disastrous lack of feedback and communication on BW part. So we have two options since the feedback option is being ignored... Play and show them that we are willing to accept this level of bs.. Or stop playing and stop paying. I waited till end of business yesterday with no answer or additional feedback I canceled. Seems the company got our money and that is all they care about. So with that being how they want to proceed maybe they will listen up and give us some form of feedback instead of we are looking into it.... The old MMO hamster on the wheel excuse to placate the masses into accepting a poor choice.

The3 issue is NOT the game effects those can be muted but the GCD flash cannot.

I can say if this crap was in beta I would not have purchased this game. Hell at launch I would have asked for a refund. Being told to get used to it after I paid my money is an insult.

Well nearly double that 1000 post number. With the mods and threads I would say closer to 3k posts since the patch went live. Now if we break this down from a customer service (I know an oxymoron in this case) standpoint this is not a good thing. not actually reflecting the true number but a general example always given in sales and customer service in general. So the numbers may be larger or smaller. If that 3k worth of postings reflected an actual number of disgruntled customers that means there are 10 to 15 that are not even giving enough time to post or say anything. So that 3k number just shot up to 30-45k customers that are not happy and will just go away without feedback or input to why. In turn those people are going to tell an average 10-20 people why they left or what poor CS they have received in reference to their issues. It compounds. That is just the US market not reflecting worldwide. For being such a fledgling game this is a HUGE mistake for BW to ignore and pander to the not that bad crowd.

I want to play Star Wars not Bar Wars. Listening to the people saying it is not that bad.... Still means it is still bad... 10 minutes from gtg to migraine quitting the game feeling like I was going to hurl and a migraine is NOT what I am paying for. Just getting the it is under investigation line is not panning out for a viable response at least in this day and age. So the choice being play or not play. I know I cannot play without getting a skull crushing migraine from the added strobe effect.

OK I guess turning the preferences down on bloom and spell effects would NOT have an issue then...

Real simple.. Pull the servers down. Revert the failpatch, go back to the drawing board.

The added over stimulation and 1 skill for everything flash effect is the issue. 1. cut immersion 2. added a strobe effect that hinders the core game mechanics. 3. destroys tank's focus on combat and reaction based abilities 4. creates headaches and added eye strain.

Funny the sage/sorcs and mercs not having a real issue with this but the jedi/jugs sent/maras and healing mercs just hating the hell out of this.

THIS!! I tried to explain to a few guildies standing there while heat is normally venting is pointless your auto needs to be going healing/dps non stop. This see of blue puke lines for force rage users is just as bad if not worse than Mercs.

Or better idea... Launch UI and the todays cool down lines just a bit less bright... the flash goes away.

Thanks Cfour.

There is or was another thread with the video of it but for a Powertech increase the flashing by a factor of lets say 10 for a glow stick wielder building rage and you see the issue.

Hmm turning off bloom and toning down the graphics mutes the strobe effect a great deal THOSE are adjustable. This puke strobe is not.

It with the color/glare and for force users a nearly constant flashing.
