Where have they said they are fixing it? All I see on the CS forums is requests for dxdiags from affected players. If they wanted to fix it while they work out what they broke then all they have to do it revert the sound engine to it's 1.1.5 codebase, since no one had the issue then. They obviously have the version control software to revert to old libraries, since they patched out a lot of 1.2 features a few friday nights ago accidentally.

I have a shadow, and I would be much more inclined to use electrostaves if they were actually able to use all of my my class abilities with one equipped (currently some are usable, some are not), and if it had an electicity particle effect around the heads of the weapon. Is there any possibility of getting these changes made? I beleive they would be very popular.

Loved the event, loved that it was unannounced. The plague effect was fun, and getting together with randoms to kill the world bosses was mostly fun. The randomness of the comp customisations was not though, they should have been tradeable. The world bosses should have spawned a little faster as well. The next event should be larger, maybe a few weeks long, each week it gets bigger, timed or with different mechanics for triggering the next stage.

Yeah sound quality is always degrading for me and some others in my guild since 1.2, vocal tracks stop playing in cutscenes, announcments in warzones stop playing, and pretty much all of the sounds of your abilities go all wierd sounding (buff sounds don't play when you cast them, force quake sounds muffled, all sound distorted in some way except for ambient sounds and music), and the only way to fix it is to restart the game, which is not a useful workaround when you are raiding or queueing with a group for warzones. Once again, problems started with 1.2 patch.

Could ppl list what server they were on before the transfers? See if they are happening in any order or just all over the place.

The reason that they HAVE to bring the servers all down at the same time is because of the lack of region locks. If you can connect to any server from the 3 different regions, all the clients HAVE to be on the same version. Example of what could happen : You log into the launcher, game patches you to version 1.2, which adds a field to a database table, say biometric crystal alloy, say stack_total, so you can now stack said item. You log into a server that isn't on the same maint schedule and expects client version 1.1.5, your game tries to write to the stack_total field, it isn't there, client craps out from a database error.

I got an electrostaff on my 50 shadow tank, and all abilities that require a double bladed lightsaber can use an electrostaff as well. But it sucks that they just look like double headed clubs, rather than crackling with electricity.

A gunslinger in my guild tested this with a rakata chest drop from both EV and EC, the bonus does not move.

One more for the 16 slots train!

Faya you might need to get 3DPlay, it's an addon for nvidia cards to enable TVs. Not sure though, there is a trial version you can use to check.

I've been playing in 3D (nvidia 3D vision) since the open beta, the only thing i really want is a 3d cursor, selecting/clicking on things takes a little longer than it should. Telekinetic throw is awesome in 3D! Rocks right in your face. The only cutscene I've seen that wasn't 3D was the opening scrawl, everything else has been perfect.

Why aren't electrostaffs electrified? A lot more people would use them if they had an electrified effect. Can a static effect be added to them?

You can buy vaccines on the main fleet station.

LOL is this whinefest still going on? It's not going away, so get used to it. And for every 1 person that threatens to quit over this, 100 ppl will enjoy the crap out of it, and 5 ppl will resub to check it out. And even I, a casual reader of the forums, can see that it's the same 4-5 ppl whinging about it.

Seriously, I just can't understand how you fail to see how an unannounced world event is a GOOD thing for the game. Server pops go up as ppl feel they have to log in so they don't miss the fun, so there are more ppl to play with. Lots of groups form to kill off event bosses (I was in a group that killed all 3 bosses in a row on harbinger) so you might meet new ppl if you chat to your fellow adventurers. And the fact that is was unannounced is the icing on the cake! What is just around the corner? A rakata one? Gladiatorial games on nar shaddaa? The D7 AI returning? Naga Sadows or Freedon Nadds spirit elevating a new sith lord? The possibilities are endless, and you will NEVER know for sure when it will happen.

WoW has never, ever, ever had a server merge or close. Ever.

I can't beleive ppl are whinging about bioware doing something awesome. Your arguments basically sum up to "I am slightly inconveinienced so I want it stopped for everyone!". For the original poster who said remove it or I quit, seriously, with your ridiculous sense of self entitlement, the community will be better off without you.

Hey, try being australian, this happens to us every week without fail.

Except it's not patch 1.2, it's 1.2a. They didn't test it in a proper test envirionment, plain and simple.

Well, more than anything EA got a massively respected developer name out of the deal, which they have then diluted to the point of being valueless (Why is there a 'bioware' studio doing a RTS?). But beyond that EA hold the purse strings, so they get to get their way. Remember the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rules. And even more, EA has a massive ego at the top who thinks he knows better than anyone how to develop games.

Except Bioware was a privately held company when EA bought them out, it all went to the doctors pockets.

They have it on a stamp to save time.

Greed, the Doctors saw $$$, and sold out, they are basically paid pom pom girls now.

They didn't team up with EA, they were BOUGHT OUTRIGHT. EA OWNS Bioware lock stock and barrel.

I've had the same thing happen since 1.2 hit on multiple toons, it's obviously patch related.
