I shelved my BM Merc as the nerf bat swung a bit too far. Luckily I have a Maurader BM alt and a Sorc. So long as those dont get nerfed any time soon I'm good. I figure by the time they nerf those two the Merc will be rebuffed again. That's just how these mmo's work. Buf/Nerf, Buf/Nerf. Just roll some alts and be ready to switch when they nerf yer class.

Rage: Yup, nothing to see here. Everyone please stay with Anni or Carni Rage sucks, low dps!

haha thats so true. I've got faily decent pvp gear, missing onloy a couple of the battlemaster stuff. And man I've got to say, I have serious trouble with Sin's and Sniper types. Sins it's touch and go if i can kill em and the good snipers just eat me for lunch.

So what yer saying is that you're saying you dont mind when they buff stuff that you could normally shrug off anyways, but god forbid they buff something that you cant easily circumvent? Is that about right? In your own statement you mention stun locking (which you dnt miss often) and if you miss then that OP maurader actually has a chance to kill, run or at least throw up defenses to have a chance. Yeah, that's OP....

Ya know, I sorta got bent a couple of days, then even more so yesterday. But today, I'm chilling just like techno viking. 1. Monday 1.2 mistakenly pushed out too early, fubar's "a smal minotiry of the playerbase' ability to login 2. Told to redownload 14+ gigs worth of data OR leave as is and the game will work just fine tomorrow . 3. Next day, woops, joke on you! Go ahead and download another 14+ gigs cause we gave you the wrong instructions 3A. Oh and btw, we were just joking about the Rated Warzones too! (see we have a sense of humor) 4. Next, Next Day, woops, stuff is broke again. This one's not a joke, but here's 30 days free! See, so everyone chill to the groovy beats.

Hate leads to the darkside.

Low key trolling... i likes it!

removed as its probably not applicable or relevant to the thread as a whole

I would also suggest everyone affected to email support@swtor.com, I believe that might be the only way they know who is affected...I seriously doubt they keep any sort of logging or accounting about which accounts/ip's download a certain patch.

Stephen, man I feel bad for you because I've had to do very similar tasks at times, that is, defending the sometime incompetence of the company I work for. Whether its the DEV or QA totally fubaring something up or the Sales guy overselling and over promising or a number of other things that can and will go wrong. It just seem like the lack of professionalism at BW is a bit rampant. It could be addressed with good leadership that has vision but also forethought. So I don't blame you or the dev guys, I blame management for mishandling the past 2 days worth of significant and public facing fiascoes. How long can you apologize for your company and still make it mean something? /my 2cp

what a joke man. I followed their advice yesterday and I just KNEW something wasnt kosher. Now here I am downloading another 11Gig file and then probably more after that. Seriously, I'm not even angry anymore because frankly I dont care. Between broken promises, bait and switch tactics and totall lack of meaningful customer service BW I wish you good luck.

I"m waiting. I downloaded the accidental patch yester afternoon. Per instruction I proceeded to cancel the 11G download (before it starting patching). So I'm expecting to wake up tomorrow morning and be able to login with no issues. Sadly, I bet that wont happen. An no Rated WZ's is definitely a let down.

The fact of the matter is that they waited until the 11th hour to announce the removal of the Rated Warzones. Its not really the issue that they decided to pull the feature, but how they waited to let the community know. Cmon we're not that gullible, this was not a last minute decision. They knew well in advance yet they also knew that the 3mo subs are all coming to an end and also needed to lure back some of the pvp crowd. Job well done on the bait and switch.

Yeah and I thinks that's the point of this thread, which is probably why it hasn't been locked yet and why everyone's being funneled to it. There will be nothing done, but at least they're giving everyone a forum to vent. This thread will be quietly closed by end of the maintenance period. On that note, I just received a notice that one of my posts in this thread was moderated for rude behavior. I dont see how, I try to keep it clean and concise. It was a response to a couple of the "dont let the door hitcha on the way out" posts, but I guess those are not rude at all right?

Ah, so following that logic, then the political polls they take for any sort of election are meaningless right? How I see it, yes you are correct, only a minority of the player base actually post on the boards (although a greater amount are lurkers). However, I'd imagine that the sentiments espoused here are somewhat reflective of the general population at large, +/- a hefty margin of error, but "good enough" imo.

See the thing is that I think the actual code for the Rated Warzones is still in the patch. If you read the first few comments by him he states that we wont be able to queue for the rated warzones, but no where does he mention that that part of the code was pulled. Me thinks the code is already on the server, they just toggled off the ability to queue for a rated WZ.

Haha Jandi, I think you've hit the marker closer than you think. Except you left out the part of the ebil EA whispering in their ear, "remember, the 3mo subs are just about done and we need to get back some of the pvp base" and which point EA waves their hands "these are not the Rated Warzone patch notes you are looking for" (at least not until the 11th hour)

LOL! Matrix online had to be the biggest POS ever to hit the interwebz. And the combat system, revolutionary??! lol, you betcha! The kind of revolution where everyone dies from the pox. Worse game ever.

Right, and this was a last minute discovery was it? I have no doubt, given their track record, that there were all manner of bugs and inconsistencies. But really, waiting until the last minute to tell the player base that it's been pulled from the patch? Cmon, you seriously think this was nothing else but a money grab?

Why is it if you do a cursory google for swtor 1.2 rated warzones you can find all sorts of BW connected sites making touting reference to the Rated Warzones in 1.2 up until about 4/9, then magically all the advertising and hype starting around 4/10 suddenly has no reference to removed content. Man, those guys must really have the insight track...but hey, this was a last minute decision right? Communicated to the player base ASAP? Yes sir!
