I get booted from the server. When I log back in the schematics are still in my inventory.

I have gotten kicked multiple times in the last 15 minutes.

You're missing the obvious point. Instead of putting resources (development time) into worthwhile projects, such as fixing severe lag on the only west coast pve server or addressing glaring bugs in operation encounters, Bioware chooses to address issues with the Cartel Market. Clearly, their priorities are on the money making mechanism in the game. Bioware had two weeks to do something more substantial than fix Cartel Market items and discount pricing on various items.

Rambling post incoming... It is disheartening when there are obvious glaring problems in the game. People get so excited about "weekly patches" but most of the updates are specific to the Cartel Market. For weeks now we've had several encounters in operations not working correctly....such as no ads spawning on the Terror From Beyond. That fight is soooo trivial now because of all the bugs that exist in the fight. But hey, at least we get a discount on the Life Day stuff on the cartel market. Which brings up another point...instead of creating an event for the holiday BW opted to just add items to the cartel market and make people pay for them. I highly doubt we'll see any future events when they'd just rather charge real money for items. Last year I read numerous articles about how disappointing SWTOR was in terms of revenue. At this point BW is just trying to make as much money as they can off this game so that it doesn't continue to be the embarrassment of the EA quarterly earnings report.

No kidding! This is a good example of how lag causes problems for casual and serious players every day. Our server is sooo laggy that if you are "too quick" in posting items to the auction house it makes it so you can't post another item until you log out of the game. There is like a 3-5 second delay from when you click the button and the item moves out of the box into your auction list. If you click to place an item in the box while the previous one is still in there it literally breaks the interface and you have to log out to fix it. Reloading the UI does not work. The only way I can get auctions to post correctly is by using the GTN in my ship.

226 in queue with a estimated 30 minute wait time....at 11AM CST.

I mistakenly posted an incorrect talent tree. I have 2/2 Watchguard and 0/2 Force Fade...updated link. My apologies, I should have reviewed it more closely before posting the link. Yeah, the WH relics are nice but I don't invest any time in PVP...in fact my social rank is higher than my valor rank! Maybe I'll spend some time in wzs this weekend. I can't wait to hear the complaints, "omg this noob is in full recruit gear".

I'm looking for intelligent discussion and feedback from other Watchman Sentinels and Annihilation Marauders whose focus is end game content. I'd like to find out how other people are gearing their characters and also get some feedback on what I can do to maximize my dps. Here's some information on my stats and talent build. Talent Build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#501bIbRrRMfsZhMMZh.2 Primary Stats: 2003 Strength 515 Presence 90 Aim 90 Cunning 1752 Endurance 140 Willpower 0 Expertise Secondary Stats: Accuracy: 342 (+10.32%) Critical: 109 (+4.54%) Surge: 228 (+22.64%) Power: 869 (+199.9 damage) Alacrity: 0 Melee: Damage (Pri): 924-1086 Damage (Sec): 214-321 Bonus Damage: 600.5 Accuracy: 101.32% Critical Chance: 23.12% Critical Multiplier: 73.64% Force: Bonus Damage: 927.0 Bonus Healing: 368.4 Accuracy: 111.32% Critical Chance: 30.24% Critical Multiplier: 73.64% Activation Speed: 0.0% A few things to note: These are my unbuffed stats. I'm wearing full Campaign level gear and using a Campaign Relic of Dark Radiance and Matrix Cube M7-GO. Every item is augmented with a strength augment. After hitting 100% accuracy I'm stacking power in favor of all other secondary stats. My personal goal is to keep my unbuffed force crit above 30%. Once I'm fully buffed, using an Exotech Might Stim and built up five stacks of Juyo Form, the crit chance for my burns is +50% crit. I consider this a good soft cap since burns account for most of my damage and burn crits provide self healing. Please post your theorycrafting thoughts or any feedback you have for me. Thanks!

I feel your pain. I've tried using group find to run sm ops a few times. One run lasted over three hours and we still couldn't kill SOA. It wasn't for lack of trying! Some people are simply not geared for these encounters and/or have no sense on how to play their character.

I thought it strange we don't have server specific forums. Come on BW, at least organize them by server type and time zone!

What BW failed to do was correctly manage their server populations at the time of release. Adding all the new servers due to log in queues was an extremely bad move. Also, it appears that the population caps on the initial servers needed to be higher. Judging from all the posts I've read there's server side lag on higher population servers. More time spent on server side optimizations with higher population limits, resulting in fewer servers, would have dramatically improved the gaming experience for everyone.

Just because you can queue cross server doesn't mean you have to! You could queue up with a full group and complete the instance. Forming groups requires more effort, so the only thing the LFG tool did was kill your desire to form groups.

If you ever had a problem with a player quitting during an instance just put them on ignore. The WoW LFG tool won't match you up with players on ignore. Honestly, I'd much rather deal with having players occasionally quit a run than to spam general chat for hours looking for a group to complete the Rakghoul Conflicts weekly. I've only completed it once in the last three weeks!!!!

I'm still stuck on Hyperspace Cannon and there's only 4 people in the republic fleet atm.

There's like seven west coast pve servers still awaiting a destination. That's about the same number of servers transferred to Drooga's Pleasure Barge and The Harbinger. Why not just roll six of those severs onto the remaining seventh and call it a day?

It's easy for people to say "just be patient" but they need to remember that we've been patient for months! Now we're being told again to "just be patient" while we "figure out the logistics". We're clearly not getting what was promised when we purchased this game. That's evidenced by the drastic hemorrhaging of customers, the triage solution of limited server transfers and the sheer number of complaints being locked and deleted on these forums.

Actually, it is a big deal to some players. Not so much to me, but I understand why someone would be upset with losing their name.

This is 100% correct! It's unfortunate that only 3.25% of US servers are eligible for transfer.

I'll say it again, you must properly set peoples expectations or they'll constantly be disappointed. The reason people are angry is because nobody set their expectations. Only four servers eligible the day of launch and comments like "check back often for an updated list". That just pisses people off!!

This is what I was posting in another thread before it was locked. Bioware, please read this post and understand one simple fact: You must properly set peoples expectations or they'll constantly be disappointed. You can't just say "adding more servers, check back soon!".

My original thread was closed and I was directed to post here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=477672 So, only 3.25% of servers are eligible for transfer? And no details on what other servers will be eligible for transfer? And when? You need to properly set peoples expectations or they'll constantly be disappointed.

Um, gradual is one thing, but do the math Mr Reading Comprehension. This is a dying game, and server transfers/mergers are the ONLY thing that can save it. People are pissed because they like the game and want to play it, and today they discovered that only 3.25% of US servers are eligible for transfer.

Pretty lame release of the new transfer service. Only four servers? Why am I even surprised?

This is so freaking lame. I've been waiting for character transfers for a weeks. I was so excited I got up at 6AM to check out the transfer process. Pretty disappointing to only have four servers available for transfer.

Pretty disappointed with the announcement. "Coming this year" isn't soon enough. At least in July I'll be able to level as many alts as I want to level 15!
