Instancing is used to balance server loads and reduce lag. Considering the amount of performance issues this game already has, there is no way in hell they will reduce instancing or zoning.

Emperor is tea bagging ewoks.

I haz a pentium 486 133mhz with 8mb of RAM and I get 100 Fps playing this POS. I gets bad lag playin solitaire tho, them graphics be amazin!!!

Playing SWTOR is like playing the commodore, waiting to load the tapes, must be what SWTOR is run on the backend

Hey crazy SWTOR forumites, have you wondered what type of gamer you are? Find out below and let it be known. Mechano - if you enjoy complex mechanics, investing real time into the development of your character in partaking in the game world then you are the elite gamer, usually spawned from the earlier MMORPG'S such as UO, EQ and AO to name a few, where gaming was ruthless and rewards were sparse but damn didn't they feel so good?! You won't put up with sub par games and you will not be blinded by false promises, shoddy gameplay and reiterated, reskinned games. Lego - you are the above average gamer, you appreciate a good game and blurr the lines between hardcore and casual, you can ultimately put up with shoddy gameplay and poor content but your patience will eventually wear thin. Ultimately you are looking for fun and could be considered the more transient group of gamers in that you will bounce from title to title, keeping the fun rolling. Duplo - you love playing snap and catch ball, let's be honest, you completely missed the brain cell tree when you fell from it, you will consume anything that either has pretty colours or is similar to a movie you've seen. You're the gamer who will vehemently defend sub par games with shoddy gameplay and development and actively pay for it, because your unfortunately not bright enough to realise when something is being pulled over your head to make you blind. You will tend to play the same game over and over again just like you watched finding nemo 100 times. In the event of nuclear war, you lemmings will be the first to run towards the bright light; and, unfortunately you are starting to makeup the majority of gamers which is strangling the innovation of this industry. SWTOR - 10% Mechano - 30% Lego - 60% Duplo

He thinks he's a WoW Dev posting in blue. All high an mighty but full of assanine crap

And you are not trolling every single thread responding with answers Such as these? Yeah right.

Would you really want to do Taris, Nar Shadda or Coruscant 8 times over?!?!

You HAVE to do the zones to progress your story so younger your companions and ship duh! There is no way around it.

How many CE owners does it take to screw in a light bulb? 4 1 to hold the ladder 1 to screw in the light bulb 1 to press the switch And the last one to go and buy the light

Wait for the end of January and the Fanbois will be whining for server mergers because their servers are dead.

Exactly, ME3 MMORPG just like SWTOR. It's got VO and story and I can play with other people and it's full of instances so it's an MMORPG like SWTOR. But I can play ME3 FREE!!!!!!!!

Thank you for calling EA customer support. Unfortunately all our lines are engaged supporting our flag ship titles such as BF3. Please hold for 3 hours whilst I transfer you to one of our outsourced customer service representatives in India who will not understand you and who will provide you with a generic response. Lots of love EA

Oh and try and put 5 people in your GROUP and then go instance, ergh I mean play. Can't wait for ME3 MMORPG!!!!!

Ah so you've been in lots of raids then I take it?

What's a group in swtor then precious? 4 players init?

Look at the features for Mass Effect 3, you can actually play with other people! OMG ME3 MMORPG!!!!!!

This will never be implemented because it is classed as gambling because real money is required for a subscription and in game currency has monetary value and as such is prohibited under US law. This has been te case for ALL online games.

Its Pwned

You really are one of a kind aren't you. You must be that kid who waits for everyone else to get their party food first before you get any, then when you get there, you realise all the good stuff has gone, because you waited. Enjoy your waiting. Hope it works out for you. I'm sure you will be having great fun. Waiting............

I believe they call that Alpha, Beta and stress testing. I'm not sure if SWtor did any of those though as their programmers must be going through billions of lines of code right now huh. That must be hard!

LOL! Have you even tried their customer service? Why you remain still in denial at so many glaringly obvious issues is beyond me. Go and explain to one of your non-gaming friends how you bought a product with so many things wrong with it you couldn't really enjoy it for what you orginally bought it for. I can guarantee you, they will tell you to A: ask for your money back, B: Complain. I chose B: I complain and I cancelled

You do realise that if a single player game shipped with so many glaring bugs the companies reputation would be damaged? Have you even played any of Bioware's previous titles? in that you should know that they have never ever released such a game with so many obvious issues. When you cant advance your character because of a bug, or cant login to the game or suffer constant crashes then maybe you will appreciate why some people are so angry at a company they PAID money to, for a GAME, they should be able to PLAY! Notice how I capitalised key words in the hope your backwards brain will interpret.

I bought it digitally; and your obviously playing a different game in comparison to the rest of us; enjoy your patience, paying to wait is awesome.

Your obviously not bright enough to understand what an analogy is.
