The guys complaints are legit IMHO. This is not a case of "BW can't win". Yes people complained about the last event not being announced, so BW felt they should make an announcement this time. That is great. What is not so great is that the announcement made it seem as though the event had started. They very easily could have made an announcement that said the event was coming soon without giving the impression that it had begun. That is how BW could have "done it right"

Never been to prime but I go to PAX east every year and it always seems smaller (don't know the numbers just going by perception so I could be wrong)

I mean Gen Con in the US, showing my ignorant American side by just saying "the country"

I saw a video got excited to play new content and was disappointed when I logged in and it was not available. Gen Con which is the biggest gaming convention in the US will be starting on wednesday I (and many other gaming fans) will be attending. Because of this fact, I will not be able to play most of this event and am upset about it. I am not sure what about that does not make sense.

Ugh git all excited for the event and logged in for the first time in a week and was eager to play only to find it hadn't started yet. Looks like it's start will coincide with the start of the biggest gaming con in the country. So I guess I will be missing out on the majority of the event.

Guildies first, Then anyone who I saw doing something awesome, then objectives and then heals. That's my pecking order.

I don't think im anything special but I am usually in the top 3 damage in a WZ with my Mara try to play objectivley and don't say much other than calling incs and a GG to my team. If these people spent more time playing and less time talking they would be able to contribute much more. That is how I see it at least.

Where did you find a computer that runs this game for less than $225? Seriously though I play with a naga epic and a nostromo and I love it. My setup is very similar to yours also. Nice guide.

You do not lose set bonuses with any gear that was released in 1.2 or after AND they reduced the cost greatly in this patch.

IIRC any tier of gear that was released in 1.2 or later (ie War hero Campaign and any future gear) has teh set bonus attatched to the armoring so if you transfer the armorings from those sets to any other gear you will still get the set bonus. The cost of transferring has also been reduced by 30% with this patch.

Pretty similar, we have like 30 on fleet max and never more than 2-3 groups pvping. Queues take forever and it is always the same 2 teams against each other. I hardly play anymore because of it. I am really excited to start playing the game with activity like it was at launch.

Just my luck to be on 1 of the 2 PvP east servers that haven't been chosen yet. Really want this to happen so I can start playing again.

I do not think this is a limited time thing.

I don't actively do it honestly. but I have many a time come to help on a planet where I was hunting datacrons or more recently in the World event where lowbies have asked for help and coming down to help has been some of the most fun I have had playing. NAtural PvP to defend something even if it is as simple as a lowbie in your faction is when the best PvP can happen.

I lol everytime I See t his "you gank lowbies because you are bad" argument. The way it should work is; 1) 50 starts killing lowbies in low level area. 2) lowbies call out to 50's of their own faction who come and help 3)original 50 calls his buddies for backup 4) actuall OWPvP happens. This activity should actually help bolster communities and forge friendships.

I cast buffs on players when I think to in the open world. I alway cast buffs on people in FPs OPs or WZs. Anyone that doesn't needs to L2P.

The whole reason for the free 30 days is to compensate people who have gone through the content and patiently waited for 1.2, especially since rated WZs (the main reason many people resubbed when the 1.2 date was announced) got scrapped last second. If you only have limited play time and have not met the requirements then you have not been waiting around and have nothing to be compensated for.

right there

Except that the "we stuffed up, give us 30 days to show you we can fix this" is exactly what happened. If you had an active sub on the 12th you will get 30 days of playtime on the 24th regardless of whether you have paid for a new month or not. You may have to go 3-4 days without playing if you dont want to pay for that month but thats a choice you make.

I did read your post. It does not change the fact that people are complaining about getting something for free. Just because Bioware stands to gain from doing it in the long term does not change the fact that we are benefiting if we choose to.

It also wouldn't be accurate to say that it would be added after the billing cycle. What about people who get billed on the 1st? They get the 30 credit before they have to pay. They gave a date that it would be credited and that is t he most clear and consice way to do it.

They gave you 30 days free. You have nothing to complain about. Complaints about getting something for free are just pathetic.

I'm not Die Hard, in fact I unsubbed when Ranked WZs were not included in 1.2. The new world event and the free month are keeping me around for now though and the game is improving. As far as this website redesign it is much better than the old PoS design.

Since we don't know how long the event will last there is really no way to know for sure. Im am guessing no though.

This event got me to resub. It renewed my faith in the devs ability to keep things interesting and I know I am not the only one that feels that way.
