Thanks for posting this. I have been using Authy for a long time and thought it was weird that SWTOR actually created an app instead of asking people to use a more common one like Authy / Google / Microsoft Authenticator. It's kinda annoying to see some clueless people calling it 'marketing shill' but oh well just /ignore.

I just sent the useless millions I had accumulated to friends and called it quits with this game. I actually have 19 more days to play before my card expires but have no desire to keep on playing anymore. Why? When I hit 50, I hit warzones, did the dialies, crafted Syth gear and then shifted to BioChem to get +Will Power for my sorcerer. I quickly realized there was not much to do b/c the server population (Thana Vesh) was not that great anymore (used to be standard became light after i joined)... I have had several issues with HMs and buggy game play but will leave that aside b/c I mainly enjoyed PvP in this game. 1) Warzone Q's took forever. No improvements with 1.2 2) I greatly enjoyed the burst hybrid sorc build, which fit my style well but saw it ruined with 1.2. Many posts about this in sorcerer forums... and to date I have not seen 'communication' from BioWare about the concerns which were raised long before 1.2 became live. 3) New Commendation system sucks! We play against pre-mades in my server during 'busy' evening hours and now get very little out of it, if any. I see people stop trying now more than ever. 4) I've finally got 2000 commendations after a week of play and found out that I cannot upgrade my BM gear b/c I had changed the mods on them previously and trying to putting back the old mods did not help either. That was the final straw for me. I lost my desire to play this game. I wanted it to succeed but in my eyes this game fails miserably in many many accounts. WoW has been out there for years. BioWare should have learned the good lessons from them and apply here what worked day 1 E.g. guild banks, combat logs, functional Auction House, interface customizations,macros, addons. Dungeon Finder, achievement system (although I was never big on that), community forum interaction etc. etc. Instead, it looks like they wanted to start from scratch and make the same mistakes others did. So be it. Let's see how it ends up for you. Bye!

I just found out to my horror that although I had all the original mods and enhancements and put them back I can not upgrade to War-Hero! OK I am gonna be nice. ARE YOU **ING KIDDING ME? I worked my *** off to get that BM gear and max it. No way I am going to buy it again and then upgrade it. You want my money? Try pleasing me instead of frustrating me!

I am looking at official forums here and do not see anyone addressing the concerns about 1.2. So, where did you see that 'communication'?

I have about 20days or so left. I doubt that it will be fixed by then and that means I am not renewing my sub either.

In my server, Imperial side pretty much has no premade and republic side is almost always premade. After the patch it became absolute nightmare for a couple of reasons: 1) We are going against premades all the time and ending up losing. I personally feel frustrated b/c although I am full BM, it is taking forever to pile up commendations now even if I do very well. 2) Population of servers are small. PVP Q's are taking forever. Sometimes 1 game in an hour, if that. 3) Everyone knows everyone else which was supposed to be a good thing (and in some cases yes) but it also means I personally almost always have 2-3 people on me, b/c I used to be able to 'hurt people' before 1.2 and they already know me. All in all, PVP is much less fun!

Oh, and you know folks what bothers me most, no communication from BioWare. I played WoW for 5 yrs and classes went up and down but like it or not at least they always responded to people's concerns. Silence just adds to the frustration.

I've played many warzones now, and initially thought well, I survive longer... good things kinda ended there for me. Everyone liked wrath build, some people like madness. That's the end of story. I do not like this 'new' way and I do not see it as viable for me. As majority of my time was in PvP, game is much much less fun for me.

I am too trying 3/7/31. Lack of viable AoE for a sorcerer does not feel natural. I do PvP mostly and just played a couple of games. Did not see a dps improvement compared to hybrid (in general my numbers are way down since 1.2 I can barely break 300K (full BM). Please report back what you find out. It would be helpful if you can compare them please. Thanks!

Wow! If you are asking this seriously, then you were not using the sorc. in pvp/pve as hybrid to say the least.

hmm, looks like no matter how many medals u got, if you lose you get nothing meaningful. And even if you win, it's not that great before.

Well, the problem I see is that it is not difficult to get medals but at the end commendation you get out of these medals are much less compared to before.

I totally understand the guy above and his frustration. I hit 50 and hit Warzones. There was not much to do other than stupid dailies anyway. I mean how many times you can do the BT HM. That's what everyone does to get the daily HM anyway. I loved the Warzones. I loved the hybrid build and that's all that kept me playing. I hit valor 75 and in two weeks my 2month paid subscription is ending. I am hearing madness is not bad, so I will try it and try to enjoy warzones again. If that does not work, then I am not gonna keep on paying for something that I do not enjoy. Maybe I will be just a drop in the bucket, but maybe it will help BioWare realize how much they upset the sorc. community with this (and this was coming) and it will help the remaining folks enjoy the game more.

Sure, please link it. I do PvP most of the time in this game. It looks like commendations are very very slow to come. I will try full madness and if I still do not enjoy it, well WoW is still there...

OK but did they nerf the commendations stuff as well? I just won another game, 250K dmg, 7 medals blah blah yet only 53 commendations????
