The way the article read to me makes it sound like you have to commit to a single discipline at a time, which has potential to suck for me because I primarily solo and take bits from every current tree to make that a smoother experience. I hope I read it wrong or it gets clarified in a way that clears up my worry, or even that the new system takes into account a soloers need to be diverse to survive.

Basically for whatever reason you overlooked the specific details of adding augments to gear that has been around since before 1.3 was even on the test server, and because you overlooked the details you are calling it a farse? Ok... Maybe expand your game experience and either craft or run dailies to get money (~300k a day...) to purchase augment kits. If you aren't 50 and therefore not up to the dailies then augmenting your gear doesn't matter yet anyway.

Yea I am thinking the person unselected healer then changed something then joined queue and didn't notice healer had been reselected.

I did all that in FF7 several times over (well, except the stepping on every tile thing, that's just silly).

I wouldn't call it story based, it's progression based, everything in the game is about achieving the next best thing. Story is however the most marketed feature. (Over-rated IMO)

Codex system is poorly designed and difficult to track progress. It needs to be more categorized and polished to make me consider spending time filling it. I want to fill it but can't in it's current state.

You quoted me and I live in New Zealand, says so in my sig... And I am on the side of 'who cares about a night or two off, when the games back online something may be improved which is a good thing.'

Woop dee doo? Not gunna go whinge about not playing SWTOR for my friday night...

You think that trying to hinder improvements and updates and fixes to the game is a good thing? I like this game but I can see the bugs and I want them fixed. I most certainly do not want you or anyone else kicking a fuss over not being able to play for a few hours once or twice a week, as that just wastes time. I want them to fix the game and do not begrudge the maintenance times at all. They can't please everyone and we are likely one of the smaller markets. It is a business remember and the less customers they can interrupt the better for their business (income/profit).

Don't let the minority of Oceanic players who are complaining fool you, most of us in this part of the world are laid back enough to not give a hoot about the timing of these updates.

Bioware don't owe you (or anyone) a specific amount of game time. Be a man, relax.

Hey come on now, our part of the world isn't meant to complain about silly things like people in larger countries do. Let's just take a minute and man up, an extra update is no big deal.

@OP Harden up mate. Not the end of the world.

I sent them a PM about it already this morning. But you wanted to highlight their error didn't you...

I was thinking this yesterday too, to have them walk around would be awesome.
