Its really hard to sell anything on my server, I have been putting stuff on at 1/4 of the recommended price and most dont sell then, so I have just been vendoring them so make some space.

Is the exchange across all servers or just across one?

Started levelling my sorc alt. Endgame is horrifically bugged and dull at the moment.

I have to admit, fighting with just 1 light saber look far better animation wise and more iconical.

So raging I cant change to a juggernaught sometimes haha

The jugg armour looks better too

Still struggling to find a reason to play at the moment, other than levelling a new alt.

The daily quests are grindtastic (and bugged - 2/5 can't be completed on Ilum!).

Games losing people rapidly in my opinion

That must be one of the most stupid posts I have read on here. The game is either losing people or it isn't - I don't see how that can be an "opinion".

Added you to the first post. Have I missed anyone else?

Lots of work to do this weekend, but hopefully have some time for TOR later

Surely, unless we have stats, all we have are our own opinions on what is happening?

Which in turn is biased and meaningless tbh. I don't get how anyone can tell if people are leaving or not - there are potentially millions of people playing across countless servers.

For the most part it isn't a problem, but it is annoying to see the same people posting the same rubbish over and over again, just looking for a reaction. ElliottJames being amongst the worst - didn't he say that this was his first MMO though? That would explain a lot.

And load times are really irritating me now.

One of my biggest problems with the game tbh - true it is nice that there are none once you get onto a planet, but the transition between planets takes too long.

To be frank the only biased opinion seems to be yours.

I didn't give an opinion

- I will just wait for the facts.

It can still make money and is pretty decent but imo for the best functional you're right with Bio.

Careful with bio, I think it is about to get nerfed

CaptainRAVE · 14 Jan 2012 at 21:31

The guild was certainly quiet today. Don't know if people have stopped playing or not. Not going to have time to play this for weeks

I recently changed server. My original server, at best, had about 30 people in the fleet, which made getting groups a pain. This new server has over 160. It's nice to see so many people, and people actually looking for goods regularly.

So glad I stuck with frostclaw, I can certainly understand why they were forcing the issue with the server distribution. I just hope they give people the option to move server - would suck to have a level 50 character stuck on a dead server. Not that there is much reason to do anything at 50 anyway. Quite enjoying my sorc alt though

Server Specific forums coming next week!

I like that idea

CaptainRAVE · 15 Jan 2012 at 13:22

Hope I have time to level my alt a little later

CaptainRAVE · 15 Jan 2012 at 19:08

I subbed for six months, but am unsure how much I will actually play. Don't really know what happened, but the game has lost its charm.

On the plus side, I am on one of the busiest servers, so population shouldn't be a problem.

I keep reading comments on the official forums, along the lines of, if you don't like it, go back to wow. My concern is that too many are going to go back. Ea is going to be in a tricky spot with this one I reckon.

I still don't understand why each instance has such a low cap - some of the planets are so large I rarely see anyone. The long loading screens are another big problem IMO.

Does anyone know if reading the Old Republic novels will spoil the story in the game? Only just starting out and don't want to ruin it with spoilers.

I don't think they do, I think they lay out a fair bit of the backstory. I wouldn't mind reading them actually.

Sleepery said:
No! Most pointless part of the game as far as I can see. They should do something with datacrons. Hunting them down is fun, but getting a 1% increase in a single stat as a reward doesn't exactly make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

I really enjoy the space combat, can't wait to see where it goes.

CaptainRAVE · 16 Jan 2012 at 19:08

ChrisJSY said:
I look forward to where it can go, the system they demo'ed it on allowed for free flight, I want some multiplayer space combat, one guy on the main guns and other people on the turrets

Some kind of coop space combat would be ace.

Goberpiles316 said:
would have been better if they noticed it is an mmo and let you group in space!

I reckon this will be in a future update, they have already hinted that they have big things planned for space combat. Make it like the X-Wing and Tie-Fighter games and they will instantly gain a million plus subscribers I reckon
