The "I Quit SWTOR Thread"

Agreed, I'm a committed altoholic (all 8 slots filled) but BioWare really needs to start engaging with, rather than dictating to the community.

Did you see the community posts, they're carefully selected posts that in no way address the issues with the game. They always focus on really stupid things like armour color, Legacy items and other nonsense just to divert focus from the true problems.

I seen the E3 video.... there isnt alot coming out this year

Thats this generation MMO's problems. If WoW must do it WE must do it.

Thats why i admire EVE so much. they just do they're own thing and consistently have over 300000 players online.

Not arguing with you on that, A voiceover in a game does not make it better....

I quit a few days ago. Well i didnt so much quit as im not renewing my sub for a while. I might go back to it around christmas just to see how things turned out.

I actually was really enjoying the game but what i really didnt like about it was it didnt feel like a proper MMO. Sure the instances class quest sections were pretty neat i like that idea so 15 of you arent waiting around for the same boss to re-spawn., Loved the story sections too some of the best Quest Based story quests I've EVER played. Story telling was top notch.

But where it failed was in a few places for me. I know the forms over on TOR.com fourms people were foaming at the mouth for reasons why they think the game sucks, No Ranking PVP, No World PVP, Broken GTN, Not having a LFG system, Not having a cross server LFG, Trying to implement an LFG Tool. All of them Valid points.

But being honest what really killed it for me in the end was server pops. The server i was on had 12 people primetime on a sat night. I really REALLY dont like the way they used the shards to break up servers I hit level 40 a few days ago and the planet im on now is literally deserted theres like 3 people on the planet im on. Thats not an MMO in my eyes and for a while it was ok i lived with it, The games content kept me going the bounty hunter storyline was epic loved it. but then my guild fell apart and that was that.

I tried posting something like this above on the TOR forums but basically what ive realized is if you post ANYTHING on the fourms you get flamed from one of two camps the "just re-roll on a different server, stop hating on the game this game rocks" crowd or the "everything EA and bioware touch turn to bantha fodder this game sucks for reasons x,y,z" crowd so i dont even bother logging on anymore.

been playing since release and love the warzones in this game, i just got a gamecard for wow to see about leveling a hunter with my mate and his friend on a new server, boy did i get a shock.

I had no heirlooms at lv 15 when my goblin hunter was finally able to complete his storyline and get into some battlegrounds and i found myself getting one shotted by hunters rogues and mages with heirloom gear. Some difference between the warzones in swtor and battlegrounds in wow.

At least in swtor with a lv 10 u can get top damage in warzones and really make an impact on your team winning. A lv 10 can if played smart take down a lv 49 because everyones abilities are bolstered to lv 50. Where as in WoW a lv 11 vs a lv 19 is gonna get seven shades of crap thumped out of him or even a lv 11 vs a lv 11 with heirlooms is gonna get spanked/one shotted.

Returning to wow i have seen the major flaw they have with the brackets in pvp and how its all about the gear, at least in swtor is about unlocking your abilities and your skill playing with them. Both games could learn alot from each other. I would like to see wow bring in the bolster mechanic while also keeping the 10 - 19 bracket. Likewise swtor when it finally gets cross-server pvp wz's should make 10 - 19, 20 - 29 brackets like wow.

Anyways i abandoned the goblin hunter i made on the new realm and decided to use my own heirlooms and transfer the character to the other server later. I dont enjoy being one shotted. Still playing swtor too and prefer the way they bolster people so its more fair.

As someone said in another thread, they literally just fixed this last week. They've opened up free transfers from 90% of servers to the other 10%, which now have great populations.

Awesome good to hear about the character transfers I knew they'd bring them in eventually, people have no patience I figure given time let the devs work on the game good news though a step in the right direction. Im on the peragus mining facility Raph (or was) and its still dead

Granted i havent logged in for about 3 weeks but i still have about a month left on my sub i'll log back in and check it out. See if i can finish off my BH questline. Gonna take a 6 month break i reckon and come back at christmas

Yup was on Nightmare lands last night and it was jammed. There was over 300 on imperial fleet and 50 -60 in all the starter areas, felt like how the game should be

Awesome im transferring my bony bounty hunter backside to nightmare lands as soon as i get home. this may actually keep me playing I'll see can i scrounge up 35 euro before my sub ends next month as the low server pops really was my only real problem with the game.

I think with the group system in 1.3 everything should be sorted because it's still a bit of a pain at times. Hopefully then when they reduce the server count they'll bring in cross server grouping and we'll all be jolly!

Ingame mail won't stop your character transfer, the mail just doesn't transfer over with you.

though it only takes about 2 minutes anyway

Yeah the mood has lightened incredibly. The server xfer has been their best masterstroke so far. Could have actually saved the game.

Agree totally people really seemed to have chilled out that and/or the haters subs have run out and they've all left to hate on the next big thing. So i saved the items from my mail and moved over to the new server have to admit the process was quick and fluid didn't realize how simple it was.

Nice to be logged into a heavy Server again will probably end up staying now yaay bioware for listening to customers

Well we're not there yet, but its a massive improvement!

for me the xfers and group finder is all I was missing, im a slowish player so ive already more end game content than im likely to consume for a long time to come, what else would you like to change?

I Tweeted SWTOR last night for an update on the cross server group finder. And was told that its not gonna happen with this version of the group finder.

So itll be a while me thinks

Yeah its a bit silly but i guess we're never happy

Anyone else find the title of this thread and the continued bumping of it to be silghtly obnoxious?

Everyone that has left the game, fine cya goodluck. But why are we that stayed with SWTOR still bumping this negitive titled thread to the top of the forum?

Can we all agree to just abandon this thread so we can have positive threads about the game resting at the top of the swtor forums? And yes i do realise that i have just bumped it:eek:
