They have 123 US servers, they need to merge into 25 servers.
I agree. Although it's a bit late now to be honest. The game seems to struggle managing a large number of people in one place anyway, and unfortunately does seem to be mainly a single player game, with some group aspects (if your lucky enough to find someone online).
Even when you join a 'massive' guild, there's normally only around 9 people on if your lucky....
To be perfectly honest, this game was fun for the story, but there's little stuff to do multiplayer-wise without the people.
Guess it's time to move on... that's what I'm doing.

All servers have the same caps.
That's your opinion. My server is standard and feels just fine. During the Tatooine event, it felt outright crowded.
Are you sure about this? From what BioWare have stated, they raised caps on servers, but not specifically said on all servers. (quote 1)
It is indeed merely my opinion. But having leveled a few characters to 50 on a heavy server, I have certainly felt that most planets after tatooine tend to have very few, if any players on them. (quote 2)
-
Honestly, population caps on all servers are so low they feel dead and empty when their full. It seems the only servers that have higher caps are those they expanded, which I'm guessing is servers like Fatman.
People may not like it, but when transfers come in, the majority of us are potentially going to target that specific server, to actually move somewhere that feels like an mmo.
Even standard to standard/heavy servers feel dead and lifeless.

So from Dec 20-April 26th,
US/Canada were a priority
We were first for the launch of TOR
The downtimes are in favour of North America
For the most part of the Beta, there weren't many EU servers
and yet you still have the balls to complain about Bioware finally turning their attention to Asia, Middle East and Europe who should have gotten the attention way before now?
Aye aye eye
Well put.
-
The fact of the matter is, the majority of players of any mmo are normally casual gamers. If you alienate the majority of players, then they'll likely leave, and whether you like it or not, they tend to be the guys paying the majority of the bills!

Not sure about the veichles, but the rest of it sounds like an awesome idea.

type /wave in chat.
There's also various other emotes like /bow or /spit or /laugh
If you want to /wave at a person, target them first and then type it.

Unfortunately OP, new an innovative ways of playing i.e. sandbox, died with SWG.... Although if your looking for something of a similar vein, World of Darkness appears to be going that kind of route, which I can't wait for!
-
Yeah the optimisations kind of strange across the board. For example works well for this laptop, but my main pc back home is a lot more powerful and runs a lot worse than this laptop in warzones...
Really think they need to sort out the fps issues that are effecting high end machines in warzones/built up areas... although to be fair I haven't tried 1.2 on my home computer yet (as I'm not back there until the weekend), and I'm gonna try the DX 9 trick people have been on about, see if that helps.
-
Yup not a lot posted about this but I also got like +20 FPS
GJ, now work on the shadows please
Huh, haven't seen that name in a while, good to see your still around Deewe

I'm visiting my folks at the moment and decided to test TOR on their laptop, which has integrated graphics (intel GMA 4500M), 3 GB Memory and is an intel Celeron T3500 processor.
i.e. - for gaming it is rubbish.
Anyway, previous to 1.2 it could only run around 5-10 fps on the lowest settings (basically read: unplayable). Although post 1.2. I can get 20 fps.
Pretty amazed at how they've optomised TOR to actually function at a fairly decent rate for low end laptops.
Good work BioWare.

Lets be honest here... how does a black core green crystal fit into star wars lore to begin with. A MMO is always gonna go off track.
I completely agree with you on that. It's a fair point.
-
To be honest, I've never been a big fan of in-game items that show off someones bank account. I understand why companies do it, but on principle I find the concept of giving people a way to show off or develop a superiority complex about their in-game worth due to how wealthy they are is not ideal for a community based game...
But really that's another argument for another thread.
-
This might be better in the suggestion section of the forum...
However interesting design. Much as I like the look you created, not sure how well that would fit into Star Wars lore to be honest, but interesting idea.
-
Why stay close to the classic colors in the movies? That timeline is far, far away. Seems to me that would allow a little wiggle room to get creative with colors.
I agree on this. Black cored lightsaber's are hardly 'classic' colours from the movies.
-
I'd leave without a second glance.
-
Looks a lot better than what we used to have. Also it's been four years, it was about time for a change
-
This would be another example of spurious logic. We're not talking about a colour-wheel, we're talking about green vs. green. They are both green. They don't even use a different word for the type of green. Green is green. Apparently that's kinda hard to grasp for some people.
As far as my "cherry-picking", I would say the same to you. You seem to like to claim ad-hominen on everything, how about hypocrisy?
Once again, not unique or exclusive.
Again your straw manning. Again I'll post a visual guide to explain the variation of the colour green.
Green and Green
Not the same colour. You can use the umbrella term to describe them as the same, but they are essentially different.
I haven't seen you post angry threads about the blue and cyan crystals, which are both under the umbrella term of 'blue'.
-
Once again you are wrong.
You just prove my point. Depending on lighting and proximity and what else is in the area, they look identical. Even outside, they look similar enough to be a slap in the face. Just because you're drinking the kool-aid doesn't mean it's not happening.
He's not wrong, they look different in both pictures. Also if your talking about the naming of crystals your arguing semantics. Both crystals are named differently, so his argument still stands.
Stop straw manning the argument and even failing at that.
-
Sorry but the difference is indeed insignificant. The problem is they're both clearly black-green. They're both called black-green. They look the same, enough that some people are confused.
What's worse, is that you're apparently okay with this type of bait-and-switch tactic. Do you think they could get away with this if it was a PvP-only crystal? Of course not!
Didn't they do that with the purple and cyan crystals? Both are available now on the fleet, as well as cyan being a different shade of blue, and in all honesty, that hasn't bothered me that they changed that up.
-
Meh, I take it back. This isn't a subjective argument. Those two colours are totally different.
Edit: But yeah xTekwarx your razer crystal does seem to look worse than the world event one!
-
You can argue semantics all you want dude, you're still wrong. Green is a colour description, not a categorical classification. Your denial doesn't make it any less true.
No your straw manning the argument, because you can't actually write a relevant response without doing so.
Both saber colours are different, due to being different shades. Thus not the same type of green, thus different colours. That's fact.
For example this green is not the same colour as this green. Fact.
-
Yes, I'm pretty damn cool. Like, almost as cool as that one guy, who wears his hit backwards, and pants low at the hips, you know, that 'hip-hop' feller dem kids like now adays.
Anyway, joking aside. I'm wrong by opinion alone. This entire thread is nothing but idiots spouting opinions at each other. Yes, we're all idiots. This argument can't be 'won' by a side, and thats one reason I want bioware to just come in. All I really want at all? An apology, if they had just done a different color combination, this entire situation would not have happened. I understand the crystal will NOT be removed or changed, it wouldn't be fair to people who have obtained it. As such, it wouldn't get its color changed either.
The optimal situation? Perhaps the ORIGINAL razer crystal could be made much darker, to actually fit the Razer color scheme (The current shade of green doesn't actually fit 'razer' that much.) And this would make it appear MUCH different. (Because, as I said, I personally can't even SEE the difference in this new one and the old one.)
A do-able scenario would be? An apology from bioware, and possibly...oh I don't know, something to at least acknowledge we did get a little bit screwed.
What do I expect will happen? Unless we hit the post cap on this thread? I don't expect bioware to even respond.
I can agree that whether one can notice the colour difference is evidently subjective from reading the thread although if you look at it as a simple matter of logic. They are essentially different cosmetically.
I can see why people are irritated I guess, but in all fairness BioWare did technically keep it unique, so their not really in the wrong in all fairness. (Even if it is a bit sneaky
) -
And...I have yet to see any difference in the comparison shots. They look the same IMO =\
As do I- wait...now we're starting to be friendly to eachother, but we disagree on a minor point of a video game. THAT MEANS WE'RE MORTAL ENEMIES! GAHH. THE CROSSED SIGNALS I'M GETTING FROM YOU!
You seem like a cool guy, your still wrong though
Unsubscriber's Thread: Tell us a few things
in General Discussion
Posted
1). Even using a well specced PC SWTOR can potentially have atrocious FPS when there are more than 7 people near you. Making PvP a pointless endevour. (Before anyone start critising this a saying 'get a new PC' I suggest you read up on the amount of problems many of us with high spec PCs have had).
2). Population issues - not only are servers losing population, but the other issue is the game is designed to have only a small population on each planet anyway. As soon as you hit near the 100-200 reigion a new 'instance' is made. Which for me really kills the whole MMO feel.
3). Rolling an alt- much as on face value this sounds a good idea content wise, once you get past level 10 you have only a small number of class quests, the rest is just rinse and repeat, which in fairness kind of kills replayability. As the world arcs aren't particularly interesting the first time around, let alone the second.
4). Lack of reasons to group in the leveling experience - due to the solo nature of the story content, from my experience most people I have come across are not interested in grouping for heroics or the other leveling content. The whole 'go get a guild argument' starts to become redunant when you join 'massive' guilds and find each of these 'massive' guilds with 300 members only has 4 members on at a time...
5). BioWare's refusal to try and solve any of these issues, particularly in terms of avoiding server mergers means they've lost my sub. I've always been a fan of MMOs because I like playing online games with people, and unfortuantely from my experience, there's not enough incentive to group, and even when there is, there tends to be too few players to group with, or the lag in PvP due to fps problems even with a high end PC result in the MMO aspect becoming completely redundant.
