Re: Test Server, Shae Vizla will be opening in the APAC region beginning April 3rd!

After testing, here's my feedback BioWare!

Compared to an existing server, how is the performance?
The difference is incredible, having an Australian server again means the game is once again in a playable state for our region!


Any specific areas or planets where you feel the performance has lessened?
No, everything worked as intended.

What region/country do you reside in?

Regional Victoria, Australia


Provide a comparison of ping from existing servers to Shae Vizla.
Satele Shan, 230ms
Shae Vizla, 23ms



Is grouped content working properly?

Yes, everything worked as intended.

How quickly can you get into a match or Flashpoint you’ve accepted?

Straight away, no delay.


Is travel to any location (planet, Stronghold, Fleet, etc…) hindered?
No, everything worked as intended.


Are there any issues with the UI such as missing assets or loss of functionality?
No, everything worked as intended.


Are there any issues with visuals or sounds with the cinematics?
Nothing beyond normal SWTOR issues.

Final Notes:
Please bring an Australian server back permanently BioWare, removing it years ago caused a lot of pain and many of us are desperate to have the game back with a local ping.

    What do we want players to test out?

    • Compared to an existing server, how is the performance?

    It is more efficiently playable. I had no delays whatsoever.

    • Any specific areas or planets where you feel the performance has lessened?

    Actually, I found no problems in performance quality at all.

    • What region/country do you reside in?

    California

    • Provide a comparison of ping from existing servers to Shae Vizla.

    Don't know how to find out how to ping.

    I usually play on Star Forge and it seemed faster.

    • Is grouped content working properly?

    I feel like I’m repeating myself a lot but I no worries.

    • How quickly can you get into a match or Flashpoint you’ve accepted?

    On Shae there were only a few of us on so we were grouped fast.

    • Is travel to any location (planet, Stronghold, Fleet, etc…) hindered?

    None at all.

    • Are there any issues with the UI such as missing assets or loss of functionality?

    Not that I experienced.

    • Are there any issues with visuals or sounds with the cinematics?

    Again, everything was perfectly smooth on this end.

    Completed everything I think. I'm going to try GSF one more time. The first time I tried I promptly crashed my ship. I don't know how long we're supposed to stay in.
