I hate to tell you but this game shows all the signs of number 2. From the looks of it though it's only getting worse. I would also say that anyone who has worked in any kind of graphics will tell you it's pretty obvious that the republic fleet was made second. There is simply no way a professional would build the republic, then put in those reflections first. Then build the empire, go back and delete the republic and put in the empire reflections. It's entirely possible that the original images maybe named wrong or something. They could be using some sort of generic term for it, and that might be it. Then either way you are dealing with complete incompetence. There is really no way around it at all. Either they built the empire first and then thought "no one will look close enough to see the reflections", or they built the republic first and didn't bother even checking their resources. I'm not saying it's the worst thing in the world, it's just very bad. The poster I'm quoting I have a question for you. If your students made the same mistakes, what kind of grade would you give them? For those that don't know what spaghetti code is, basically it's like completely unstructured coding. Never mind, I will quote wiki

I understand being hopeful, but what you are doing is basically telling a lie. Hoping that peoples perception will change based on it. That just isn't how it works. Now if you could somehow change it so that actually in the game they didn't see it dead, well then you would have a good chance of it working. Right now people log in, they can easily see that there might be 50 to 100 on the fleet, thats generally it. Most higher level planets have 1, or 2 at most on them. Please feel free to show us your screenshots though. Log in and do a /2who of every planet. Show us those high level planets with 50 people on them. I will gladly cheer for you. It means you've managed to find a server where the majority haven't quit. Most aren't like that. http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/trends Yes, it's growing so fast that light servers have increased drastically, and heavy are almost as flat as full. LOL, you guys talk a big game but the graphs don't back it up. Wait...next you will say how that site is the devil and they are just making up numbers to see BW fail.

LOL then please, feel free to post one then. It won't look like the above. One of the highest servers was swiftsure, and they were basing it off having most of the players who are switching to oceanic. There is already a site that tracks this though. http://www.torstatus.net/ http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/trends I don't think anyone wants the game to fail. BW still has time to turn it around. They are still either around 1 million or just over (my guess). So I would certainly say they have time to change things. The problem is that they have lost so many people. Those people tell their friends. Word of mouth gets around, you have people going to third party sites and posting bad reviews bad things about the game. New potential players see it, and they turn away from it. I've canceled until I see 1.2. Based on it I will renew or just stay gone. I think there are quite a few others like that.

I think that's what the OP is referring to. In pvp the tank ac is better off with a dps spec. You can go some tank, but things like shield/defense are pretty much useless. On my tanks I don't even bother with a shield usually when I can get better stats from a non shield. Keep guard up, taunt, and play just like any other damage dealer.

Hey I like my vanguard. I do agree about the tanking aspect being next to useless for them. Almost all of the damage you take in pvp is going to be types that ignore shield/defense. Nothing to do for it though, just have to take it and keep playing if you like the ac.

Pfft I was there at release. RIFT had bugs. They just were pretty minor. Even then when you reported them you actually felt like the devs cared. It is very different than I feel here. When I can submit a bug report and I get http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/422699_927200710609_42813289_37491903_335395637_n.jpg

tldr: Oh crap, BW really dropped the ball. People are actually leaving, and worse no matter how liberal the mods are they can't silence them. MY GAME IZ DIEIN' *** DO I DO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I know, I will attack anyone that even says anything negative.

Isn't SS about to have an exodus because of the new servers?

So you guys are afraid your server will end up like the majority of the other NA servers? Yes, sadly this is a reality for many of us. We have asked repeatedly for merges. Looks like ignoring the players is still in full swing at bioware. Hey it worked with most of the problems they were having with their launcher though. They ignored it till pretty much all of them quit. So in the end, they aren't complaining anymore. Like a poster above me I can't help but laugh at the fact that the two servers who always attack people asking for mergers might be in trouble. Oh, this is sweet karma at it's best.

What are you smoking, the game has been out 2 months. I don't see how you people can say that isn't enough time for a person to reach max level. Even casual players doing at most an hour a day have done that. How long exactly do you people think it should take to reach level 50? 2 months isn't enough, so maybe let's shoot for 4? No, because guess what would happen. Even at 4 months it would be the exact same thing. Fanboys need to face it, once you reach level 50 there is only a very limited amount to do. The bulk of the game is pre 50. Now the problem there is that the bulk of the game is EXACTLY the same on an alt. I know this because I have multiple characters already there. Sure the story lines are great, but that's such a tiny portion of the content. The rest of it is all the same. Now if they had made it so that the story lines were the bulk of the content I could agree that rolling alts becomes really interesting. Oh and bw go ahead and give me an infraction for this post because I really just don't give a damn anymore.

They are busy handing out infractions right now. Taking a page from the blizzard play book.

Ah, good luck with it. I personally don't think they care. They have the numbers already. I don't think it's just chance that the big release for other markets happens to be in time to boost numbers for the earnings call.

It's not him. 29 people in my guild, 3 people still log in. Some moved back to WoW, some are just going to play me3 till gw2 launches. I keep telling them to wait till 1.2, but yeah down to 3.

You are talking about a company that can't patch without creating 20 more bugs, and refuses to even listen to the people that post bugs they do find. Do you honestly expect them to keep a schedule? Let me give you an example of their cs real quick http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/422699_927200710609_42813289_37491903_335395637_n.jpg You expect a company that can't even get a copy paste right to keep to a schedule?

Exactly who is making a big deal of it. So far I see some people having a laugh, and the rabid fanboys so damn afraid anything negative will be said you are all attacking. I would like to suggest that the fanboys calm the #$%^ down. I mean ffs we can't even hae a laugh without you crazy idiots going on the attack. I wish people acted on here more like they do in real life. No, don't say you do. You don't. If you fanboys attacked in real life like you do on here we would hear about it on the news. "Rabid mmo fan is beaten publicly by a group for acting like a dick, he is in ic but stable. More news no one cares about at 11"
