Bump for immediate DPS Need.

Severity Gaming - Prophecy of the Five - Republic World First and only 5/5 NiM TFB 16 man. We have an immediate opening for a DPS for our SV NiM progression, looking for the best of the best. With server transfers, this seemed like a fitting place to put the word out for the most people to see it. If it offends anyone I apologize. Link to our POT5 Recruitment Thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5175089#post5175089 Link to our website: http://www.severitygaming.com

While I appreciate the open line of communication from the latest community team, I'm starting to become a bit worried about maintaining a roster after the completion of Scum and Villainy Nightmare. We've had a great insight to future content with the Summer of SWTOR thread, though there was no mention of plans for a new operation. With 2.4 being slated for August, and figuring a 6 week release cycle, we're looking at September at the earliest for just the story and hard mode of a new operation? Nightmare modes are amazing, don't get me wrong, but it'd be more amazing if they were released with the story/hard mode so that you don't spend 3 months farming an operation to turn around and farm it again. The intent of this thread was not a whine fest though, so nothing further on that point. I guess my question is after SV NiM is down, what do we have coming in the future in terms of *NEW* operations content. At the moment it feels like we're about to clear SV NiM and hit the proverbial content wall. There's no way the majority of guilds will be able to keep farming TFB and SV on Nightmare for the next 3 months and maintain their member base.

Just for the record Noim, Ariss wasn't saying anything bad about Frog. We <3 you guys!

Anyways to keep this from spiraling into a flame war and the thread being locked or even the threat of being locked by a dev, I suggest we return to the topic at hand. If you wish to flame, do it elsewhere.

Either there is a ridiculous language barrier or you should return to your bridge, troll.

Aside from Chosen, Frog, and Severity Gaming I've noticed the progression thread has come to a screeching halt. Where is everyone? What are your struggles? If you can't get dread guards down, are you doing the other fights? Attendance issues?

Wow... Really? We built an insane raid team, but hopefully Ace and Friendly Fire return to their natural positions, and grats Chosen! I like the guys from Chosen, Frog, Ace, and FF, but I refuse to let you try and take credit away from my guys where credit is due! I'm sure all the above mentioned guilds feel the same. That being said SG will see you all in SV.

<Severity Gaming> Asation 16 NiM 1/5 The Writhing Horror 12:26:18 AM UTC

Watching your livestream I observed your desire to release 2.2 this week. From the perspective of a progression raider, a guild leader, and an experienced MMO player, I can assure you this is not a good idea. Since it's already been delayed most people wont mind if it's delayed til next tuesday. Heck even the following tuesday if you divert all your resources to fixing server transfers. You guys said 2.2 is about guilds, well by rushing the release of 2.2 to release this week, we've already lost out on our scheduled time as raiders, I'm sure some people will have cleared TFB HM without thinking about and wont be able to get into nightmare. If you really want to be all about guilds this update. Release 2.2 on a Tuesday with at least a few days notice and do all that you can to get server transfers up and running. Even if it means offering a broken server transfer service for the same price with a disclaimer. I guarantee people would still pay 1800cc for an achievementless transfer.

Quoted

Information early would be great! Less than 24 hours before it's scheduled to release when there's been no warning or visible effort prior to that. You're nuts if you think this is good service or them being forthright.

They didn't wait til the last minute out of choice. They waited til the last minute due to the possibility of server transfers not happening. You'd think it'd be a pretty safe bet 24hours before it's supposed to go live. Go back to your bridge troll.

Yeah it's poaching when they come to you.

Honestly though, people have posted stuff all over your forums about transfers and 12 hours before your maintenance was supposed to go live you decide to tell us OH BY THE WAY we're not doing server transfer either???? Ban me for saying this if you must, but WHAT A CROCK OF ****. I have 3 guys that are transferring from a different guild, who waited til the last minute to inform their old guild that they are leaving to come to our server, but 12 hours before the maintenance that you postponed you announce that there will be no transfers? How the hell does this seem okay? This stuff had to have been seen beforehand... Do you want us all to stop playing? Do you want us all to spread filth about the bioware name all over the internet? It makes no sense. Now I have 3 guys who wont have a guild for at least 4 weeks unless Nightmare Scum and Villiany gets pushed back too because of unforeseen bugs? I bet if you put up transfers that bugged achievements you'd still get people transferring even if they are warned hey this is going to bug your achievements.

Nothing like kicking us while we're down.

That stuff is completely understandable, but they had time, and they didn't do their due diligence with the PTS, and as such could this mess have been avoided? I think so. Could they have foreseen this further out from today? I think so. A lot goes in to maintaining and scheduling a 16 man guild, and the constant kicks to the nuts makes it even harder.

Here's an idea, since you obviously don't care about the subject matter, go troll somewhere else.

Another side note: How long will this delay take? Will our lockouts be reset? What about the people who decided to transfer to another server, and told their guild out of courtesy and now wont be able to do anything due to not having a place to play. Suggestion: Delay 2.2 until next tuesday and release server transfers tomorrow.as scheduled. This is only if 2.2 must absolutely be delayed past tomorrow.

I'm not typically about voicing my grief on the forums, but this is the ultimate screw you to PvE guilds. SV HM was a joke of an instance and was easily completed in 63 gear. On Friday before Memorial Day at the end of the work day, Nightmare TFB was released to the PTS, template forum posts were made, and bioware disappeared for their holiday weekend. Players lockouts were transferred from LIVE and people had copy issues, there was not a single response until TUESDAY. Guilds were outraged that the instance was even placed on the PTS. Several bugs were located on PTS and reported and no information or response was given. Our personal experience denied us entry to 16 NiM and didn't even allow our guild to test the instance. This information was relayed to your development team. What was the response? We have not touched the PTS build since it was put up, but we'll be patching it either today or tomorrow. What happens after that? The PTS is taken down. This "NEW" content, which has been out for 9 freaking months, has been scheduled for release, as such many people have scheduled their own personal time to race towards downing this content. People take off work, guilds change their raid schedules, and our completely welcome to this level of flexibility, even excited for it. Then you crap on us again. This is literally the worst experience I've had in any game. The patch was supposed to be out in less than a day, how could you not have known this was going to happen this close to release? You should be working around the clock, rather than saying awww screw it we'll fix it tomorrow. I already lost a sage healer to this, and have had to replace numerous amounts of good players due to how little there is to do in this game. I can understand once or twice, but this has become a pattern with you guys. There's no sign of anything changing and you just crapped on all of your "loyal subscribers."
