Compared to an existing server, how is the performance? - Ping is a problem. It definitely affects performance.
Any specific areas or planets where you feel the performance has lessened? - No serious difference on my end. Ping is still a noticeable issue.
What region/country do you reside in? - Eastern United States. Nashville, TN.
Provide a comparison of ping from existing servers to Shae Vizla. - Averaging 200 to 280 ms. Much higher than what I would get on star forge (29 to 33 ms).
Is grouped content working properly? - Yes, works fine on my end.
How quickly can you get into a match or Flashpoint you’ve accepted? - About the same as on star forge. No big difference.
Is travel to any location (planet, Stronghold, Fleet, etc…) hindered? - No issues with travel. Seems to be in order on my end.
Are there any issues with the UI such as missing assets or loss of functionality? - Not that I noticed. But don't take my word for it. Someone else might have it worse.
Are there any issues with visuals or sounds with the cinematics? - Not really. I suppose it only matters depending on the player's settings.
