Whoever put that annoying droid on the ship obviously didn't want people to be on their ships very much. The purpose is to annoy you away from it.

While were at it, why not have PvP planets and RvR that lets us use companions? If any of you have ever played Mount&Blade:By Fire and Sword, there is a game option where you are the leader of a squad of AI and you can customize their gear and weapons and troop type and then lead them against other players of the same thing. It makes it into a massive war and it takes skill and squad commands to be good at. Why not let us do this in PvP in Star Wars? You would finally be adding that RTS factor into it, I think it would be a lot of fun anyway.

thanks a lot

We need Server Forums and one thing that is very much needed are Server Transfers. People may decide they do not like the server they are on for many reasons and wish to transfer to another. This will help even out population as well, it has never been a problem with other MMO's that have utilized this in the past. Have they said anything about this at all? I cannot find anything.

Has there been any talk of eventually giving us Server Transfers from Bioware? I really hope we get them.

Performance Plans soon to follow.

they arent considered that by us Midwesterners. I live in Illinois and I only consider Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and Michigan to be the Midwest and I guarantee most of us feel the same.

Exactly, I do not understand why this is so hard. I said earlier that people in the city with Comcast or AT&T are going to blast through the rates with 25 mb connections, guess what, most of the MIDWEST does not have those connection speeds to not notice it. Most of us have much lower connection speeds. We do not share information properly to Virginia or California as we would if we had a Chicago or Dallas Hub, or better yet, BOTH! Anyone arguing against this is lazy and doesn't want Bioware to succeed. Almost every single Multiplayer game has a major Dallas AND Chicago hub servers as well as their east and west coast. Anyone arguing against it either has an agenda or is a lazy fool. It will only help us gamers.

South Dakota and North Dakota are not considered to be the "Midwest" You shouldnt try and argue this stuff to someone who lives in Midwest. I know what my Region is.

Well I don't suppose I mean "servers" as much as I mean a "hub"

Aside from the argumentative Herp Derp who posted above you, I didn't say anything about how we are closer. Closer doesn't mean better. When I install your internet, being within 100 feet of the VRAD is actually a bad thing, and we start looking for ways to put resistance on it. Of course the herp derp who posted above you have absolutely no idea what the physical network is. But I really didn't make this thread to just argue and banter with herp derps, its a thread meant to give Bioware an idea that the Midwest needs servers. Connecting East and West is bad.

AND.... Bioware adding Midwest server support would make your connection a lot better!!

also the Dakotas really arent the "midwest" The states I speak of are Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky

Did you get paid to say that just now?

Midwest gamers connect to Chicago or Texas for most games to get the best latency. What we need are constructive ideas on how we can get a server bank in the midwest for SWTOR players. For Midwestern SWTOR Players. Anything aside from discussion about how this can be made possible, is nothing less than a discussion about how you can further alienate midwestern gamers who don't live in hub cities. This is quite a bit of people.

I don't know if its Gods sense of irony for me personally, but I fix peoples internet all day long and I have to come home and troubleshoot mine. But I have never had the problems with any game or twitch.tv, I watched the superbowl without a hitch earlier on nbc.com and all of it. I played WoW and I can run BF3 and all of it. But if I play SWTOR I disconnect, disconnect, disconnect.

Its partially the ISP but it is also SWTOR. The DNS isn't setup properly, people who are blazing 25mb connections wont notice it for the most part.

that depends on how its set up and what ISP and DNS it flows through obviously, but most Midwest gamers connect to either Chicago or Texas, its a well known fact.

Maybe its because my guild is on that server? Hmm since you are a guru and since we all pay a subscription, maybe you can magic me up some servers in Texas or in Chicago? I heard there are a lot of gamers in Chicago and Texas. In fact, I heard Bioware was in Austin, Texas. Say, maybe you can help me?

I read that as " We don't want to afford it, we are lazy"

Yet I can run any other game fine or stream video fine and not have the problem?

Regardless, we all connect better to Texas than we do to any other hub. Anyone from the Midwest will tell you the same thing.

No it isn't Per one other users advice I downloaded and use Pingplotter. What I am seeing is a bad flow of packets between my ISP and SWTOR. Its being very badly handled and dropped as it goes west. We need servers in the midwest.

Quit trying to sound smart and agree that we need servers in Texas or Chicago or at least one Midwest state. Currently we are all connecting to California and my ISP hates that, the packets are losing themselves between Chicago and LA. It has to do with the packets, I am losing too much data between my origin and where the data ends up. This is causing me to disconnect. Its because SWTOR doesn't have their crap set up properly. They need to set up servers in Texas or Chicago. This will help facilitate their date between the East and the West Coasts.
