Same boat as you. Subscription is about to end and I can't believe 1.1 failed so bad. I want this game to be good but have no idea how it'll accomplish that.
AMD 965 @ 3.6GHz
8GB DDR3
GTX 570
Just reformatted and the game still doesn't run well. There is freeze, and any places with more than 6+ players drop FPS substantially. Sigh.

It's not even close. WoW's General Forum has some feedback but is mostly discussion. SWTOR's General Forum is 80% feedback because the game has so many faults.
Just upgraded to a GTX 570, reformatted and overclocked my CPU by 200MHz. Game runs a lot better but is still a mess in PvP and I have to disable shadows which makes the game look significantly worse.
I've never seen a game look so bad and play so below expectation at the same time.
Nice to see that I'm not alone. I went through this exact same process with WAR. Speaking of which, this game reminds me a lot of WAR in terms of combat feeling a bit off and performance being less than great...
