Just put them on ignore. Even if every person who spammed these services was banned they would just create a new account anyway and keep spamming. It would literally solve nothing. PS welcome to MMORPGs.

I have been unable to complete this quest for over 3 days now and unable to finish weeklies. This was fixed for one day and then broke again on the Bastion and has yet to be fixed. People can't get their black hole commendations or finish weeklies so I hope there will be some kind of repayment made to those players, especially the paying ones.

Agreed. I find the writing and voice acting in this game to be terrible. The stories are worse then the comic books that come with the kids meal at mcdonalds. The writing is worse then any show you will find on WB or CW. The voice acting is lifeless and "feels forced". Seriously, Bioware you are awful at story writing. Maybe take a college class? You make other MMO devs who suck at writing stories look like Robert Frost.

There is absolutely no way in hell this game has 1.3 mill subscribers. After you get rid of the marketing & investor spin (like counting subs during the free week, etc.) I think the numbers are more accurately in the 500k-700k range. 1.3 mill? No way. Over 1mill? Nope. Under 900k? Absolutely likely. None of us know for sure, but I think EA's quickly declining stock value says it all.

Hi Daellia, These may already be available somewhere else (?) but I was wondering if you could please provide the links to the Lightning and Madness builds that are best right now. I know people will argue that certain skills are better, etc. but I always see you posting answering questions about builds and I just wanted to see what the most DPS lightning/Madness builds look like. For example many times I will see you mention a build like 3/18/20 (or whatever that's just an example) and I have no idea where those three points actually are supposed to go (probably not haunting presence ) Thank you!

100% accurate and correct. I agree and believe they lost more then 400k subs, I think that's EA/Bioware making it look as good as they possibly can. I think in reality (without marketing spin) the sub numbers now are probably in the 500k-700k range. The transfers helped slow the bleeding but they are still losing more people each day then attracting new ones. It will fluctuate but a majority of days EA/BW will lose more subs then they get. SWG was a niche MMORPG and SWTOR will be too. EA/BW are just making too many amateur mistakes to attract a large number of subs now. They could come out with an expansion pack with open 3d space, new armors and weapons, every class "balanced" (will never happen), 10 new FPs, 20 new ops, and 10 more PVP maps and I truly believe it still wouldn't bring back 100k subs. Its good EA's stock is crashing, maybe these companies that go into MMO's will learn that regardless of what the name is or what the outside of the box looks like, players will spot a crappy game as soon as they play it., and a majority will act accordingly.

and EA certainly isn't either. SWTOR future status = niche and f2p

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-06-21-stock-ticker-why-eas-market-valuation-has-crashed Nerf/destroy some more classes Bioware, I'm sure that'll fix this problem.

I'm looking forward to winning the lottery, marrying a supermodel, and getting my own talk show.

Bioware should spend some time looking at sorcs and their tree since destroying them but I have a feeling Sorcs and marauders are exactly where Bioware wants them to be and we won't see any change to the sorc skill tree. They won't fix what we have, let alone change it into something new. They certainly aren't going to change the game to be more sorc friendly. Great post and you nailed it. This is what happens when you hire people who worked on Warhammer. Everything Bioware is doing now with SWTOR follows the almost exact same pattern of Warhammer. SWTOR will be a great niche game. Too bad Bioware/SWTOR doesn't have something to bring in new players (like a big name or IP) to cover for how poorly the game has been developed, managed, supported, and patched. It would be great if this game had a world reknown name like Star Trek or Hello Kitty that could bring in new players faster then Bioware could destroy classes/gameplay but they don't, as evidenced by how your server looked pre-transfer. I truly believe Bioware is incapable of fixing sorcs, so I'm not holding my breath. I think this is pretty much all we're gonna get (other then more nerfs and changes to destroy the class further).

Yeah, lots of sorcs quit the game when the castration... errr nerf... errr I mean 1.2 "balancing" came out. I can name 5 and that is just my guild. Some had full rakata, some were still working on their set, and some had full BM, etc. Sorcs are an absolute cluster**** now and I'm not sure they will ever be fixed (Bioware didn't just lower the numbers on some damage, they changed the entire playstyle, which is why now you hear sorcs complaining about how boring the class is now). It's not just PVP either, it's PVE and it's not just DPS it's healing too. I have a couple of alts I could play but screw that, I wanted to play a healer with a lightsaber. There's too many new games/MMO's coming out and Bioware s*** in our mouths and then says we just need to work more to enjoy it or maybe just suck on it while we wait a few months for them to look at it. So yea join the club, play an alt or be mediocre at best (regardless of what the bsers here say) or quit. I plan on rolling up an illuminati or and probably throw in some GW2 (since there is no sub fee). Enjoy your PT.

Sorcerors are much less fun to play since the nerfs, not because we aren't OP (I would argue we were pretty balanced with mercs/ops but whatever) but because they just completely changed the play style. I wish they would've just lowered the numbers/gains/etc. on the skills but left them the exact same, even with the dual cast bug. It's soooo boring to sorc heal now but TSW out in a couple of weeks, so I'm willing to overlook it

Too late. They castrated/ruined sorcs and are about to ruin the assassin. Tanks are in for it soon. I can't wait till BW nerfs Mara's and Sents and then hearing their QQs on the forums. If bioware doesnt nerf them, thats fine because I have a 50 mara, so no skin off my nose. Remember when warhammer first came out and they were nerfing everyone instead of adding content and bug fixing? I do and I remember everyone quitting too and their subscription numbers going to hell. That is exactly what is happening here. Bioware nerfs but doesn't buff and doesn't fix skill trees that have worthless 31-point skill trees SINCE BETA. BW will be "balancing" forever and never accomplish it and just manage to piss off people playing their characters (Some people will take whatever BW gives them and not complain at all - as evidenced in these forums) Nerf sents/maras BW (Be fair and ruin every class) Thanks!

I really don't think that many people are re-subbing. No one in my guild came back. We have no hard data anyway for proof. This game is being managed exactly like Warhammer, and very few people play that even a year later. I think that's SWTOR's fate personally.. 1.2 was one of the worst MMORPG patches ever in my opinion 1.3 won't be much better. We'll see how many come back but I think OP is mistaken.

They changed sorcerors not just in DPS but in heals, effectively ruining both trees. Sorcs don't have a 31 tree that is any good and bioware castrated hybrids, so you cannot be unique at all. They also didnt just "balance" or lower some damage/heal numbers, oh no, they changed the whole play style. Sorcs are *********** ruined. I unsubbed at 1.2 and I'm waiting for sub to run out. This game is being run just like warhammer and is failing like Warhammer. Keep the nerfs coming Bioware.
