Azzras Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 This game is feeling less and less like an "MMO" everyday. There's under 20 people on Hutta (STARTING ZONE) and less than 75 people on the Imperial Fleet. This server had 30 minute queues a few weeks ago. It's difficult to find a group even on the Empire side. Every server on the list a few weeks ago was high-heavy-full and now they're all standard / light? It gives an awful impression of the game to new-comers.. when can we expect server merges for the outrageous amount of servers? Play the game or complain about it. Doesn't much matter to me. My thoughts are you'll just do the later. What a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samborino Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I followed his instructions and added up the numbers? Dude, if you're going to be like this just leave the thread. Why is it SOME people (I won't use ADJECTIVES to describe "you people" so as to not get INFRACTIONS) just blindly defend the game just to defend it, even if they don't even BELIEVE what they're typing. I want to log in and feel apart of a busy, bustling world. It's not happening right now. If you're having a different experience, I beg you to post your opinion and experiences in a nice and normal way with manners. Stop trolling every thread. what server are you on?

Socratic_Scribe Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's 7:15PM on the east coast, where I am. I created an alt (I'm getting incredibly bored as a lvl 42 on my Sith Jugg) BH and Hutta has like 20 people right now. It's a starting zone, and the game sends you back there at like level 31. This is a terrible indication.. Why should starting zones have a huge population? You're there for at most 11 levels, and those go by fast. Most people are playing as higher level characters because it takes longer to get past that point. For the record, my server is standard during peak hours and I find that any time during that window that I switch from a toon on the Republic fleet to one on the Empire fleet, there are over 200 people combined on both fleets. Add that to much higher populations on higher level planets and things aren't nearly as gloomy as they seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiachsidhe Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Depends when you log in. During the week, in the afternoon, the servers are going to be low. The last few days when I have played, every server was standard or heavy. Almost half were heavy. Try logging prime time on the weekends, most servers are heavy.

Feelinestars Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just quit... Its really that simple.. If you dont like the game then move on.. I am happy where its at and still enjoying the game. Why must you doom and gloom guy keep going? Dude, how Doom & Gloom can I really be when I'm subscribing to the game. Can you stop just being BLIND AND DEFENDING JUST TO DEFEND?! These are GENERAL FORUM DISCUSSIONS and there are major, glaring problems with the game, design choices, general BioWare screw-ups, etc. If we settle for mediocrity the game will NEVER improve. You want to play the game we're playing now forever? In the state it's in? Stop it man. Don't accept mediocrity just because you love SW:TOR lore and the universe. It's not necessary and you're doing more harm than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samborino Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Then keep breaking it down. Do 1-5, 6-10. Of course, you have to be genuinely interested in obtaining this figures. And I suspect you're not. yea and im sure if i did that i would find there were 1000's of people on my standard server, and thats only republic side which is significantly less populated then the empire.

Knockerz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Depends when you play. The servers usually go from light to heavy depending on time of day you play. It's actually annoying. There are queues on my server after 7:00pm. At 8-9pm queues are like 1 hour long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of time. You come into every single thread and no matter what the topic you blindly just defend the game. The difference between myself and you is my opinions have substance and meaning, and my complaints are legitimate. All you do is say "can I have your stuff?" and "go back to WoW" Do you realize that you're doing more harm than good, and quite frankly, you're BioWare's worst nightmare? If we ALL go back to WoW.. you may THINK you'll be better off, but you won't get content, patches, and bug fixes at the rate you're getting them now.. which even now is unacceptable, so imagine if we DID all go back to WoW.

Jaramukhti Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I was on just a little while ago; the fleet on Iron Citadel was at 200+ people and counting - and that is par for the course in my experience with that server. Even with 200+ ppl on just the fleet, it was still considered a standard pop. Also, Belsavis had almost 60 ppl on doing dailies on a Monday right around rush hour (most people haven't gotten home, yet). I can't speak on other servers, but mine is doing just fine.

Right. It's obvious you're only interested in trolling and not in finding out how to obtain a view of your server's currently active population.

Like honestly if your just gonna complain then quit please, why play a game that makes you so miserable that you have to complain on the forums and defend every post that comes at you saying your complaint is wrong. Your a worse defender than any of us because your defending against many different people and we are only posting towards you.

Seriously!! Do these people not realize that if the entire community DOES go back to WoW they'll be in worse shape now? It's so.. baffling to me. Mind-boggling. Why not admit that BioWare has major work to do, and ADMIT to what they're experiencing instead of just blindly defending. It's insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im on warriors of the shadow, and you will still never get an accurate result as there are more than 100 50's online for all i know there could be 300 50's online which would make my server have around 1000 people online just on the republic side as i added up around 500-600 just going through the leveling process on republic side at the moment.

This believe it or not is a great start.... I dont come here often but I am seen this subject for the last 2 weeks. BIOWARE does provide a service if you dont like the service then leave.. Vote with your $. They know what they have to do.. And they will do it.. So either give them a break or stop paying for a service you dont enjoy....

Gohtak Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What people don't seem to get (maybe they do and they're just being thick for the hell of it) is that just because the server YOU play on may have 200 or folks in fleet at a given moment, it doesn't mean that's the same for every server. I play mainly imperial side on The Constant. During prime time this weekend I saw at most around 70 people in fleet. I switched up and made a Rep side Jedi on Lord Adraas and fleet had well over 170 people and even Corusant had well over 150. Now that may not seem like a big difference but when you are try to put a group together or even just looking for "atmosphere" that extra 100 - 120 people make all the difference. A lot of the people posting this stuff aren't trying to detract from the game, we like it. We just want more opportunity to play with other people so we can get the most out of the game. It is, after all, an MMO. So please do everyone a favor and don't let your specific personal observation on your servers status be the be all and end all, because it isn't.

Then why can't I find flashpoint groups on my Warrior tank? That's a major problem to me. inb4 I'm socially awkward or anything else some people may say. "lf3m for foundry, tank here." Spamming that for 2 hours ISN'T FUN! They need to introduce an LFG or LFR in some aspect, some way. I would LOVE to click a button and get into a flashpoint. I would LOVE IT.
