We are still waiting on a ready check feature. I think new classes/races will hit sometime in 2020.

Well at least the devs working on this game always have this game on their resume. >Was responsible for helping deliver the biggest failure in gaming history by missing deadlines and pushing content months at a time. I guess that is a positive.

Ok F2P is fine and I understand you want more people playing the game. But we SERIOUSLY need some new content in this game. The same 4 bosses for 5 straight months is beyond stupid. April 1.2 launched and it is now August. Nightmare mode should have been out months ago so please stop firing people and work on the game, you might be surprised that people would actually stay around if there is something to do.

That is every MMO that has ever existed. As long as the patches fix issues and make the game better I don't have a problem with them. Of course I don't live in a timezone that loses primetime play time but that is the price you pay when you play a game in another country. People that belly ache and moan about every downtime just need to realize it is part of the MMO genre and just get used to it or find a new type of game to play.

The only thing free to play brings into a game is trolls, exploiters, and the absolute most worthless players you can find. I'm all about seeing what the large servers do for sub numbers for a while. If the game goes f2p I will be done with it, the game will become garbage and bring in the trash.

Shadow Hand had over 250 people on Imperial fleet when 1.2 dropped. It has the potential to be be a great destination server, make it happen BW.

Great news to have a team that can handle all of the trolling and negativity that is driving away anything constructive about these forums. Job number 1 for the community team is clean house and make the forums useful, I'm pretty sure that's why Stephen Reid never posted here. I want direct dev feedback and the only way we will ever get that is to literally perma ban people who are here to start troll fests.

I wish Bioware would just shut these down or possibly perma ban the trolls from the game and forums. That way their lies of quitting could be upheld. Though it is only but a dream. The people actually contributing to the forums are so overrun with garbage that it is pointless for anyone to even use these forums for anything anymore other than to reaffirm how stupid human society has actually become. I WANTZ TO KNOES WHEN DEY MERGE DA SERVERS BC YOU HAS ONLY TOLD ME 20 TIMES.

The key thing SWTOR needs to focus on is adding features and content. WoW has proven many things but the one thing it has proven time and time again is people will come back for new things. They always come back when the game doesn't suck and SWTOR doesn't suck it just needs time to develop. If they truly make server populations large enough to sustain LFG and add features that make playing together easier there is no doubt that this game will start to grow. The doom sayers will disagree and claim it's dead blah blah blah. But those say doom sayers have probably renewed their wow subs 10 times in the past 7 years. Just fix the glaring issues, keep new content coming and consolidate the playerbase. That alone will sustain this MMO for years to come.

I know the same goes for my guild. All playing D3 except Raid nights. We have all content on farm for weeks so naturally we are waiting on the next raid tier and even the LFG will be great to run a few of my alts through FP's and such.

Yet coming to the forums and acting like 3 year olds will fix the game how? If something is inherently missing from this game for people there is nothing going to fix it but time. Not crying, threatening to quit, murder or trolling. The simple fact is the game is still growing, features will be added, some will suck some will be great. Server transfers are coming to curb the "I'm playing alone people". Many people will return, then they wille expect new content. HOpefully Bioware can release a new raid and rated warzones before the summer. Then by the time MoP comes out you will have the choice of playing this game with 90% of all the things people are asking for or playing something else. In the meantime all of these, OMG the sky is falling, the game is failing, I told you so posts are just going to continue to no avail. It doesn't change the fact that MMO's need time to change and the sooner the idiots realize this, the sooner these forums will start getting visited by Bioware. I don't blame them one bit for not catering to trolls because when my kids show their *** I don't give them attention, I ignore them until they act right. The faster the forums clear of the kids the sooner the adults can get back to work on SWTOR. The sad part is we will probably have to lose most of these people crying but they will be back, they always come back.

Though there is a vested interest in making Titan B2P and adding a cash shop. Yet since peope think it is an MMORPG there is no way for people to know that. Blizzard is looking hard at that structure for Titan as they are trying to cater to the casual facebook user and not the "mainstream" MMORPG veteran. Don't be surprised if the game is B2P with a cash shop targeting Zynga customers. Though in people's minds they are dreaming of this awesome follow up hit to WoW, it just isn't going to happen. If SWTOR fails then all you are going to have in the next 5 years is TES online or stick with WoW and it's child like gameplay.

The truth is out there if you look hard enough. Not to mention the senior level designer John Staats was "LAID OFF" by Blizzard at the end of the year for reasons not publicly stated other than he didn't like the direction the game was going, ie easy mode. Then factor in the comments made by Blizzard Execs at several occassions, it is a VERY casual MMO that will not compete with WoW at all. They look for both games to coexist. Not to mention there are sites out there that you have to be a member of that contain behind the scenes info. That is how I know the direction and what the game will be. Nothing like Swtor or WoW is the only thing guaranteed at this point.

MMORPG players will not be the target market for Titan and this has been stated by Blizzard 100 times. People still keep thinking it's going to be WoW 2.0 but what they don't realize is Blizzard is targeting facebook mom's across America. There is no segment of game that is currently targeting this market outside of Zynga games and considering Zynga made more money than WoW last year I would say it's a good market to go after. If you think WoW is easy mode wait til you see Titan. This game will be the last Triple AAA current gen MMO launched for quite some time so let's all hope Bioware can stick to the grind and get this game going. It needs content and reasons for people to log in. That is the main achilles heel right now.

Yeah I was unsure myself but after reading the author's comments they went on to clarify that subject before the trolls invaded their article comments. So according to the author of the article, that is the explanation.
