Eric, I think the next developer livestream needs to be a soul searching reality check where your team sets some honest expectations. Some phrases that come to mind: "We planned to release seven chapters, but due to all the delays in just the first two, we think it will be closer to ten. (or twelve)" "We have decided that a monthly cadence isn't working. In order to deliver what we forecast, we're moving to a two-month release schedule." I like Bioware games. I enjoy SWTOR. I don't know if it's excessive optimism, lack of resources, or pressure from EA to bite off more than you can chew, but you're losing credibility. Be honest with us. Under promise and over deliver.

As far as I can tell the fix on 4.1a was just to show all recipes, and did nothing to fix the fact that a lot of recipes used the wrong components.

Not so much the Chapter, but the patch (as it wan intended) is a 7.5/10, but they lose a point on the dismount due to all the bugs, extended downtime, etc. 6.5/10 Pros: I really like the quality of life improvements for crafting. Again, somewhat marred by bugs, though I have been lucky enough to at least have a recipe list. I get Blizz on all my characters. Allowing us to bypass the PVP companion alert. Cons: Story. So many people have pointed out the faults I won't bother. Very limited companion reunions. Two? Seriously? Do we need another 15 chapters to get them all back?

It seems to be sometimes working now. I'll need to do a bit more testing to see if I can spot a pattern to it not working.

I can do item previews with guns but can't preview lightsabers. I have tried clicking on the Draw/Stow Weapon button and it doesn't do anything. I saw this last night on my Sith Jugg, and today on my Jedi.

I understand that's the plan, but if story lines like Bowdaar aren't finished in time after a 3 month development cycle, I worry there is release date slippage. The resources needed to finish the Bowdaar story can't work on what they would otherwise be doing for 4.2. I like confirmed release dates rather than initial project plans. I used to play City of Heroes and they had a planned "chapter" cadence that never seemed to work out, so my level of trust isn't all that high. I read a lot of what the devs post, but certainly not everything.

Do we have a release date on Chapter XI? Or is that due in the live stream today? If it's next month, great! If it's June (based on the IX to X gap) then bleh. Also, I understand Bowdaar wasn't finished, but what's with two alerts being teased and removed?

Bioware, I'm confused. Were there alerts for future chapters that showed up in the initial 4.1 patch, and were removed because it's not time? It seems a bit light-weight to have only two (out of 40) companion reunions for an entire chapter release. And no love for Republic players?
