They have no clue what they're doing. Ilum is a joke and they're physically handing people Battlemaster now (at least for Imps) which makes me feel like I wasted my time hardcore grinding WZ's to get it legit. Their response has also taught me what to expect from this shit company. By leaving valor gains the way they are, there is absolutely no reason to do WZ's ever again except for weekly/daily. Just look:

They've done nothing and are allowing it to continue. Even if they did, the damage has been done. PvP is a joke and if not for my guild, I would have quit this week. I hope Bioware burns for this one, because I'm done with their company ever after.

It's funny, yet also sad how every patch they put out introduces economy/game-breaking bugs.

Yeah, when they said their "Fix" for Ilum was to disable flight paths into the Battle of Ilum PvP section, I laughed hard. They also mentioned that they will be looking into severe abusers on a case by case basis. I've never seen such incompetence in a long, long time.

Just reinforced my thought on Bioware that they're far, far away from the company they once were. I wonder if they're feeling the weight of what it takes to manage an MMO yet. Their half assed fixed (which a majority of the time don't fix the actual issue) just don't cut it.

For example, they had fixed Voss' transportation. That very day a friend of mine took a transport and died when getting off after the patch was introduced. Then they fixed broken text on names and shit and sometimes when I go into PvP, my name Raimi, would be spelled Ravi or some shit out of nowhere. I just can't deal with all these stupid little issues on a day by day basis anymore and the 1.1 patch just showed me that they have a long way to go before I even consider going back.



I wonder if they managed to get back any cancelled accounts by doing that Founder title? Wish I could see the numbers.

I got that email for the founder crap, made me laugh. Titles are dumb. I like having names visible, but when someones name is "Epicfail Hunt For The Great Hunt Winner Of Games And Fun" or some other stupid shit like that thats a mile and a half long and takes up my entire screen, it just makes me roll my eyes.

Their fixes are band-aids at best. It's so funny because we like to exploit stuff as much as possible and we'll find bugs introduced thanks to a 'fix' all the time. They really are bad at this because usually the underlying issue is not fixed at all and they'll simply add a new mechanic to fix what was broken.

Like how Soa was targeting the same players for mindtrap, so they changed it to target everyone once. Only, now it hits the tank who has aggro and will despawn the boss since he can't get to the player. We've given up on progression in nightmare this week because the bugs are just too much to overcome. Oh, and he's not dropping loot on any difficulty so that was the other big reason why. I'd recommend not wasting your time either, if Soa is what you're working on currently.

I already canceled my game before the 1.1 patch because of how piss poor the game ran on my system and how it literally just ran at 100% of my processor a lot of the time (core i5 so there is no reason it should not max out my system), but this 1.1 patch is inexcusable.

I mean I been a WoW player off and on for almost 5 years now and while Blizzard doesn't get things right sometimes, they at least don't it up this bad. This is just a train wreck.

What sucks is I don't want to play WoW anymore, but I kinda wanted to get into an MMO and Star Wars isn't doing it. Also the areas felt really bland to me. I mean Blizzard did a good job of making every world fun to be in with WoW, but these areas (Minus Nar Shadaa), kinda felt boring to me.

I'm still keeping my sub

Nar Shadaa looked cool, but it was so damn annoying to navigate with all the stupidly slow taxis.

Yeah, I just went there manually in my speeder. So dumb.

My least favorite planets were Taris, and Belsavis. Too much running around, especially on Taris. Nar Shadda I didn't mind that much, and I liked the atmosphere of it.

Wow, the sentiment on this game seems to have turned pretty quickly.

Blame Bioware being totally incompetent.

I still enjoy the game. It has the best storytelling out of any MMO. Some of the planets are somewhat boring and tedious, luckily if you do your leveling right you can basically do your class story and leave. I have 2 accounts, I think I am going to buy 2x 60-day cards and see how the game goes. I feel after that I may have done everything I could possible want do in the game, at least for awhile.

Swtor has a POS support system who just forwards your ticket to some bot who always never has anything helpful. I copied and pasted my ticket once that happened and clearly said DO NOT SEND THIS TO A PROTOCOL DRIOD, I WANT A REAL CS REP and what do I get? Another POS protocol driod response.

I pay $15 a month for this POS, I expect a REAL ing person to answer my tickets. I know a few FTP MMO's that have better support ticket systems than bioware...

Yeah, when I called to cancel my sub (Since the unsub button disappeared the day before they charged you for the first month), the lady that I talked to could barely speak English and basically begged me to not cancel.

I hate to compare to Blizzard here, but their customer service is top notch. I don't know why Bioware thinks it can get away with anything less.

Probably not coming back for a couple months until they fix most of the problems, I'm tired of these half-***ed patch's
EA's stock already went down, I hope more and more people cancels their subscription so they would be forced to improve their customer service

FWIW myself and four friends all canceled our subscriptions. Just another MMO in a long line of MMO's that didn't make it past the free first month for us.

Our server has finally wised up and stopped base-camping in Ilum, so world pvp has been popping way more. Lots of fun when it's an even fight or when we're outnumbered. We decided to progress in KP this week and we're now 9/10 nightmare, with only Soa left and no desire to waste our time until he's fully fixed. I figure I'll just ride this out until D3, unless they don't release in March or sometime soon. At least the new Final Fantasy should give us a break while they fix their shit.

Couple questions for y'all.

Let's say a collection of nanobots arranged in a humanoid form encased in a silicon-based compound resembling what you call "flesh" wanted to power through the "single-player" part of the game for each character type. Like, maybe team up with people if there's one of those hard bits just over that hill there, but other than that, just focus on the class storyline. No PvP, no "crew skills" or whatever the they were called, none of that.

1: How long would it take to do all the characters?
2: Are all the class stories totally unique? Like, I know Empire Shooty Guy and Warrior Jedi will be different. But what about Warrior Jedi and Mage Jedi?
3: What about going dark-side Republic (especially Jedi) and light-side Empire (especially Sith)? Anything interesting going on on that front?

EDIT: The aforementioned nanbots would be trying to do all the sidequests as they came across them, but they wouldn't be too upset if there was some really grindy bullshit spread all over the ing map and they missed the quest giver on their first pass through the town and they're not even planning on ever going back there.

One thing I've wondered is, how do dark Jedi people get experience, if the dark side option in conversations almost always seems to be to refuse to go on missions?
