Hello all! I have been playing on a server that has felt like a ghost town lately. I wanted to know if it was worth switching so I did a /who test on four different servers and the results showed me that a switch is best. I asked earlier which servers has the most republics and that is why I had progenitor and tomb of freedom on the list. Then bloodworthy and my current server (republic side), trayus academy. To not spend a year gathering data, I focused on the amount of people in the fleet, lvl 50s and tankclasses. (I know that they overlap). Progenitor Fleet 50 Tech/van gua/jugg sha/*** Sum Dark 64 76 22 58 65 285 Light 64 53 30 62 47 256 Academy Dark 45 77 25 46 48 241 Light 15 28 8 20 17 88 (made me sad) Tomb Dark 156 100+ 65 110 120 451 Light 124 100+ 57 85 86 352 Blood Dark 130 100+ 45 101 88 364 Light 49 69 20 33 53 224 Summary Light Dark Progenitor 256 285 Academy 88 241 Tomb 352 451 Blood 224 364 Most servers have a republic population closer to the difference in academy and blood than in tomb. I did some shorter /whos on other servers to check. Graph: http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/7379/graphp.png Well. This doesn't really say anything that we don't already know and it is not entirely accurate. But I found it interesting. What we DO know though is that if you want to play republic and have fun. Don't roll Traus Academy. Cheers

Thank you very much.

Hello all! I am so tired of playing in ghost towns and want to reroll... Again. I keep reading people talking about magic servers with 200 people in the fleet and 100 in zones. Which are they? My server is heavy but all I see is 50-70 in the fleet on good times. I want to play on the republic side on a European server. Please. Any help would be nice. PS: Bioware, your lack of fix for this is just plain awful. No merging, transfers or anything. Thank you. Makes me sad because I love the game.

I have two characters on republic, and two on imperial. I don't even like the dark side. But at least there are players there! I just did a /who on both servers I play on and imperials outnumber us 2-3 to 1. 18 people in the republic fleet and about 50-60 in the imperial fleet on the same server. The situation was bad before but it is actually getting worse and not better. Republics are rerolling to the other side and not the way around. I mean, who wants to play solo all the time? Please. I love this game. Fix this because I haven't been able to do an instance or heroic in a long time. Truly feels like a single player game. Doing a permanent switch to imperial side in a week or two if they don't at least respond to this issue. Problem will not fix itself in a long time.

I second this.

Let me start of by saying that I love this game. I have 4 characters and all of them are between 20-40. I love the stories. I love the choices. I love the conversations. I love the graphics. There are only two things that stop me from getting a one year subscription. 1. Server populations. Even at heavy/standard times I can play for hours without actually seeing a second player. (Republic side). So it kinda feels like a single player game most of the time. I would really love a server-merge so the population at least doubles. Going to the imperial fleet only to see 30-50 players is really discouraging. Especially when only one of them is even close to your level. 2. More colors for the armors in this game. I understand that the armor has a certain color due to lore but 90% of all troopers are white and 90% of all jedi are beige/brown. I would love to see different colors more often. I mean. It is your story. What stops your jedi from wearing red or green? I don't think that there is anything in the lore that restricts Jedi to a certain color. Same thing goes for Sith who only wear red/black. Basically. Being able to choose the colors of your gear would ehance my love for this game a lot. Being able to customize character looks is key to me. Besides these two above I think that it is a great game and the few other problems I've had has been or will surely be patched away. Cheers!

This shows that they listen. Patch notes say that they listen. Whiners need to shut up. All the changes do not come at once. It takes time.

Empire people should realize that the problem is twice as rough on the republic side. I played for six hours once. I did not see a single player or anyone chat except to say "LFG" with no answer. Server said standard. Standard should be low. Heavy should be light. Very heavy should be standard. To many servers and to few players allowed per server. That is the problem. Seriously. Six hours!!! Might as well have played a mass effect-game with a monthly fee. Don't get me wrong. I love this game and have no plans of leaving. I just wish it was packed more than it is.

Thank you. I also checked out your other pvp-videos and I actually learned something. Cheers!

Nice! You made Huttball look fun. Which armor is that jedi-armor and where can I get one for my vanguard?

When it comes to storytelling you are correct. Bioware has shown why they excel in this area in other games and in SWTOR. But MMOs are not purely storytelling games and in the end, they thing that will keep you playing after one year is not the story. It is the gameplay, engine and content. If you do not understand what I mean, how many here here still play baldurs gate and mass effect over and over again for hundreds of hours and month on end? Once you finish the story, you need something else. If you add in the pressure from EA and the awful engine, they have an uphill battle ahead of them and we saw what happened when they released dragon age 2 ahead of schedule. Nearly killed the series. I do have hope though and I really want this game to succeed.

In what way? Your gear would still get stronger because you would get better mods.

When I heard about the orange gear (gear that can be customized) I was thrilled! No more end game with every person looking exactly the same. I've been saving every orange gear I've collected so far because the idea of being able to change my look without weakening my character really appealed to me. But then people started to hit 50 and they all look the same. I never really understood why, until they told me. Lvl 1-49 gear is not as good as lvl 50 orange gear. WHY!? What is the point of the whole system if you cannot use it at 50? I loved the idea of hunting for the highest tier gear, removing the mods and placing them on a design of my choosing. But they basically shot themselves in the foot by not making it possible. Give me one good gameplay-reason as to why they would not let me use the looks on earlier gear for end game mods. This would only make the game more diverse.

I'd say that Sniper does the best single target damage. On the other hand, the snipers AOE is quite awful so it balances out. Played Sniper, powertech and scoundrel and Sniper wins vs single target out of these three.
