This sad excuse for a game isn't ever going to be able to run "hi-res." Their decision to purchase a crappy single-threaded engine like "Hero" won't allow it. LOL Just another fail for swtor.

This ^^^^^^^

Take it for whatever it's worth to you, I really don't care either way. I have no other agenda than to speak the truth about what's going on. I think paying customers need to know this and should be told the truth about it. In regard to why I didn't write this in General chat? Well, I'm sure we're all aware of the forum team that Bioware has hired to immediate close, remove posts like this within mere minutes of their arrival to the forums. However, the PvP forums aren't moderated as quickly.

Read through this carefully, I think you'll find it quite interesting. Above all, it's all facts. They sold 1.75 million copies in December. 1.7 million activated their accounts in December. The financial statement cut-off date was 12/31/2011. The first subscription could not end before 01/20/2012. What you're seeing is what appears to be a deliberate mis-representation by BioWare/EA. What they're supposed to do is use, as we call it in he Certified Public Accounting profession, a SUBSEQUENT EVENTS DISCLOSURE under FASB 165: FASB Statement no. 165, Subsequent Events disclosures are required for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The standard requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. You see, some of us do this for a living. And, unlike you, we know the rules and what we're talking about. The 1.7 million subs is nothing more than an accouting and reporting artifact. One that was not properly footnoted or disclosed for the obvious subsequent events of the failure to renew events of late January which should be in the 'subsequent event' period. But it gets better.... Something else, rather sleazy, that I noticed BioWare doing... As of February 3rd, 2012, they lowered the population necessary to get out of 'light' server load population and into moderate. They also lowered the cap when it came to heavy. In one day the 'heavy' load went from 3% of server time to 30% of server time. One day. The FULL cap was not changed and it still averages less than 1% of server time and it only happens on Saturday's now. So when YOU log in and see 'moderate' or 'heavy' populations in your server list.... You're being lied to... The redefinded them down, and by quite a bit...

Yes Tera, we played beta all weekend without a single hitch, bug, glitch etc. The graphics are stunning, the game mechanics are amazing and it's open world. Deathmatches that you can place bets on, arenas, battlegrounds, guild housing, guild wars etc. What's this game got over that? I should be the one LOLing at you all.

Like yourself, I had high hopes for this game. Hell I built a 4.000 rig JUST FOR SWTOR. Sadly, myself along with my guild members are leaving as well. Did you beta test Tera this past weekend? We couldn't get enough of it and will definitely be playing it as well. Stay in touch or PM me so we can hook up possibly.

Just to make it clear and very simple to everyone. A strong tell tell sign that a game is failing is when you start seeing threads pop-up like: 1. "OMG Servers are getting more populated!" (wishful thinking) 2. "After 1.2 comes out there will be more subs!" (openly admitting the game is fail) 3. "Why are mods constantly closing my threads?" (you're hurting their perception) 4. "Why I cancelled my sub." (same reason everyone else did, pure boredom) 5. "People at 50 are quitting in drones." (True Statement) 6. "I'm sticking around until GW2, then I'm out!" (you and at least 500,000 others) 7. "PvP is discouraging." (truth) 8. "Has Bioware already lost their PvP base?" (they've been gone, where have you been?) 9. "Becoming bored already.. level 47." (just wait until you hit 50!) 10. "Everyone keeps forgetting this is a new game." (we're aware of that, but thanks) 11. "Is customer support really this bad?" (worse) Those are just a few tell-tell signs of a failing game. If you'd like to add more "failing game threads" feel free. Thanks for reading.

What's fun about PvP when you're rolling with a fail team? It's my choice what I do with "MY" account. You can't force someone to sit there and finish a game knowing you're just going to fail. I'm not trolling, just telling you how it is son.

Who cares, we'll just stand there until it kicks us then.

They're starting to close any thread that isn't "praising" SWTOR. Have been now for about 3 weeks. I guess it's due to them losing so many subs or w/e, but that's just how it is. The game is dying, and by closing threads is only going to lead to it's dismay a little earlier.

You're an imbecile and obviously never even took the time to read what I posted. That said, I have FULL Champion gear and two pieces of Battlemaster already. I wasn't "whining" when I made my post. I thought it was constructive and I'm just trying to figure out a way to fix things because obviously, they aren't working all too well. It's people like you that come on here flexing your e-peen, trying to be Mr. E-toughguy that make these forums almost impossible for anyone to make a constructive post. Then of course you have your WoWcheerleaders who's always going to support WoWtrash such as yourself

You've got to be kidding me. This is even more sickening than I originally imagined and even further proves my point about people getting their way, because the devs don't even take the time to investigate things before taking action. Amazing, but also not surprising.

What would happen if they completely removed Expertise from the game? I've come up with a few things, and I'd like to see others thoughts as well. 1. It would balance everything out completely. (as far as stats) 2. You could get rid of the "50's" bracket altogether. (bringing friends back together) 3. It would not force people to look like everyone else. (people want individuality) Here are some implimentations that would also help in conjunction. 1. Impliment more armorings, barrels, hilts, mods, enhancements etc. 2. Create a "variety" of each of those, so that people can individualize themselves. 3. Impliment more crafting items, especially end game. 4. Stop nerfing everything and start buffing other things. (For instance, give each crafting skill it's own special ability. ie; Resistances or something of the like). This way, biochem isn't the only viable, "worthful" crafting skill in the game. 5. Re-do Illum, create objectives (real objectives). Give those objectives instant rewards after doing so. (Kinda like Warhammer did but make it much harder) 6. Impliment a "queue" in Illum with a maximum number of each side that can enter at one time. (this would get rid of your balancing issue). These are just a few things that I think would greatly help this game. If you have more "positive" things to add please do so!

How do you get your dailies/weekly's done if they are camping your base constantly? I almost rolled on The Fatman.

This ^^ x10 /10 chars

Very well said, I take it you're one of the rare spawns from back in my day. UO, EQ, SB?

Well, from what I've researched on these forums alone your server is in a league of their own. Hats off to you and the rest of your server if in fact this isn't happening.

I agree with you 100%. I remember them taking the severs down for 4 hours on a Friday NIGHt to fix.........<<<<drum roll>>>>> /emotes from speeders!

shoot me a PM, and I'll give you my info. Maybe we can hook up in beta. There's 13 of us going atm.

So what game are you just trying to pro-long the inevitable for? This game is dying, and with things such as this going on (and being supported by Bioware), I can't see it advancing anytime soon. Maybe one day, but definitely not now. Listen, my expectations were high also man. I even built a 4,000.00 rig JUST FOR THIS GAME. However, thank the LORD there are other games to play, because this one just isn't worthwhile anymore.

It's being released May 1st. However, if you pre-order the game you get into every beta starting this Friday, and get to keep your character and advancements throughout beta. You also get into early release. Same here, I've been waiting for quite a long time for Tera, but I did have very high hopes for SWTOR as well. That obviously didn't go well.

That's what our entire guild goes through each time we visit Illum to get our daily/weekly done. We refuse to join their circle jerk of carebear Valor farming because we strongly believe it's "exploiting." However, we get cursed out, abused and made fun of by the entire raid in General chat just for trying to play the game right. Anyways, I changed the title of my video. Also, we'll all be leaving within 2 weeks so it really doesn't matter. Tera is coming out and beta starts Friday. After 5 years of following this game, I feel like a complete idiot for even thinking anything good could come out of it. However, I'm deeply saddened it didn't.

Thank you for posting this, and I'll go ahead and chance the title of my video on youtube to, "SWTOR PvP = Trading Kills is Working as Intended."

"Working as intended?" So why not just make a small box of a map with a bridge in the middle and post a big sign up that says, "No rushing the other team, just stand in the back and die every once in awhile." This is a joke, you're an epic fail Bioware.

This is what you can expect "end game" as far as your PvP goes in SWTOR. If you try and kill Republics the "right way," you get yelled at, harrassed, called an "effin moron" etc. As you can see, they are trading off kills over and over and over. Niether side ever advancing one another. This particular event is on the "Wound in the Force" server. Enjoy.
