Too little too late. So many people have left over the last 4 months and they're not coming back. If BW wants people to play this game they need some deep space combat, some achievements, a reason to explore and get out into the worlds they've made instead of standing on the fleet, a better game engine, more fluid animations and response time, tab targeting that works, actual mini games like sabacc or pod racing, and new space bars for everyone that wore theirs out skipping all the worthless dialogue they crammed in this game.

Bad journalism? They're glorified bloggers, not journalists. Not like its their fault the link got pulled either.

Hilarious article. They've been gearing this game up to be F2P ever since people started leaving the game in droves after 1.1, and I'm sure the lukewarm reaction to 1.2 and the subsequent mass departures after the Rakghoul event just made them start working even harder to turn this game into F2P. Even if the game was truly free it still wouldn't be worth playing.

Which didn't start until like 6 years after the game launched.

Pandaren, the only way to save this game is to confuse people into buying SWTOR instead of WoW.

Because everyone is just dying to level a new character on the PTS. As usual you miss the point. If we are going out of our way to help BW test this patch, you'd think they could follow through with character copies. Instead we have a repeat of 1.2.

There aren't even enough people to adequately test the LFG tool on the PTS, so I highly doubt they have enough. Given the quality of the patches we've gotten, I doubt they've ever had enough people testing.

At any rate, its damn near impossible to test the LFG tool because most people that filled out the survey can't get their character copied to the PTS. Out of 3 50s I've gotten 0 transferred, and everyone else in my guild is in the same boat. If they can't even do PTS character copies, god help us when they start doing server transfers.

Not if they're on your team. All it takes it one person not pulling their weight to throw a game. Run into the other team with no armor, no defend a node being capped, only auto attack....etc. There is a lot people can do to grief their own team. The fact is people are going to do what people are going to do, whether they have x-server or not. If the reason we don't have x-server for pvp is because they think it encourages jerks, but doesn't in pvp for some reason just doesn't make sense.

That is a pretty inane argument, made all the more inane by the fact that they want to do x-server pvp for ranked wzs. If people are jerks in pve you can bet they'll be even worse in pvp. Either all x-server is bad, or it isn't. They can't have it both ways. The fact is, people will be jerks no matter what, regardless of whether lfg is x-server or same server.

1 hour is optimistic. Even on a heavy pop server I bet queues will be at least 2 hours for dps, and then go higher a week or so after the "new" has worn off of LFG and everyone remembers why they didn't run FPs to begin with.

That and the fact that PvP is still way too easy to get and is still decent to run OPs with, even Hard and Nightmare mode OPs. Why bother with FPs when you can run WZs for a week or so and get better gear.

Lawl, there won't be anywhere near that many populated servers. I can make stuff up too though. Every server will have its very own leprechaun after the transfers go live. And honestly, that is more likely to happen than for this game to have 40-50 highly populated servers.

Pretty much what is going to happen unless they make it cross server. GG BW.

If 1.3 was about PvP balance they'd have done something to buff DPS Commandos to be something more than a free kill.

6 days away and we can't even get server specifics?

Made me laugh. On a further note, I hope there is more to come. Several classes need buffs and/or nerfs for PvP but their focus with these changes is PvE.

Dev: "Guys, what if we made an entire planet that is basically one big casino and then put in no casino games for the players to play!" Other Dev: "Dude, you literally just blew my mind, lets do it!.

So they only don't make sense if you assume BW is all about doing everything on the cheap with as little effort as possible. Sounds about right.

To be fair they've chosen wrong with pretty much every other decision they made about this game, so at least they're consistent.

I love that people think rerolling is so easy or even a good option for people on dead servers. Even as easy as leveling is in SWTOR, when you level a character to 50 that still represents a significant time investment,. Everything you do post-50 is also a significant investment of your time into that character. Grinding PvP gear, earning credits, doing dailies, running Ops. That all takes time. Essentially you now have thousands of players with level 50 characters on dead servers, that have been unable to play them for the past 3 months or so. Rerolling is an option I guess, in the sense that cutting your thumb off is an option for taking care of a hang nail (hey look! no more hang nail!). For the last three months, BW has essentially denied people on these dead servers the ability to play their characters that they invested time in through their inaction and/or inability to do anything. And if all your doing is rerolling to kill time until transfers are available, wouldn't you just be better off cancelling until 1.3 and transfers are available and doing something else to kill the time until that day? There are a lot of F2P games out there and sub-$15 games on Steam that are a lot of fun people could pick up until BW gets their act together if they still want to play this game.

Pandas have been in since Warcraft 3 and have been massively popular with fans of the series. Cathar were in KOTOR but I honestly forgot they were even in it, and KOTOR is one of my favorite games of all time. They weren't very memorable and they aren't as popular and the Pandas in WoW are.

Why would he continue to support a company that can't even allow him to play an MMO on a populated server? BW is the party that has failed the consumer, its ridiculous to suggest that the consumer continue to support a company that is failing to deliver a quality product. If BW really wants to retain what few subscribers they have left, they would do every thing in their power to keep customers, including giving out more free time if they think it would work.

You're being optimistic if you think they'd have 1.3 ready by July 4th. I also doubt they'd patch on the holiday weekend in case something went wrong.

A couple of furries making a thread every couple of months does technically mean its been suggested for years, but it doesn't mean that people really wanted Cathar as a playable race. Honestly, its pretty clear that laziness is a major factor in having Cathar as a playable race because it won't require much effort on their part to implement. That more than the fact that almost no one was clamoring for Cathar is what bothers me, plus they just look awful in game. Honestly, if I hadn't already cancelled, this would have made me cancel. I may re sub just so I can cancel again. Thats how little I think of their decision to make Cathar playable.
