Im just shooting an educated guess as to the new big patch past 1.3. End of September/early October doesn't seem unrealistic since we're probably about a month out or less till we see 1.3 drop. Then we got the rest of July, all of August, and most if not all of September. That pretty much fits into most of your own predictions via these posts. My guild has done NM KP/EV prior to my joining up 8 & 16 man, and yeah I've done LI HM and EC which are awesome. Feb 29th is when they announced 1.2 would hit the PTS soon and then on April 12th it went live on all servers. So on May 25th they announced 1.3 would be on the PTS soon (and a week later Voila). Again, by estimating from previous release time frames, we are looking at an early July release for 1.3. Just in time for that F2P till lvl 15 like I said. Boom. Also, if the rest of the stuff advertised at E3 is probably meant for this year, why wouldn't the level cap be meant for this year as well to go with the new planet Makeb?

Seems like 1.3 is adding some good stuff but it just seems like a half patch when compared to 1.1 and 1.2. My main issue (QQ) is that Im 50, i've beat up most of the endgame content (EV/KP NM excluded). What's left for me to do besides grindddddddd another alt? Just to experience the same content again but through different eyes? I'm a voracious young lad and since there's nothing substantial about 1.3, I have to figure that it'll be probably another 4-6 months before 1.4 is out with more stuff for me to do, this is assuming that you maintain your pacing with large patches. I mean there's not even a release date for 1.3 as far as I know. I'm guessing that 1.3 will drop mid July to go with the F2P to 15 promotion so if I continue my guesstimating via how 1.1 and 1.2 was handled, PTS testing for 1.4 won't be until like Early September so that it's ready for early October to try and end Q2 FY13 with some more subscription numbers. Yeah ranked warzones is cool but is it 4-6 months cool? Probably not. Also, another assumption, the stuff you showed in the E3 trailer is probably going to be in 1.4 (4-6 months from now maybe). One of such things being a level cap increase. Which would make all this 4-6 months of gear grinding the same content pointless anyways. Well this is why I unsubbed anyways and have 2 weeks on my account left. Just wanna know if you guys have anything to keep us 50's playing? * I highly doubt this'll generate an answer from the Community Team but who knows.

Is there anything very soon (not just "soon") that's coming up in terms of endgame content for us 50's to do? Leveling alts and whatnot is all in well but yeah. Just makes me worried that 1.3 isn't adding anything substantial as far as that goes and it's prolly gonna be another 6-8 months before 1.4 comes out (assuming that you guys are keeping the same pace).

What content are you talking about meng? The last patch, correct me if I'm wrong, pretty much just fixed how headgear shows on companions lol. I can't think of any patches except for the 2 big ones, 1.1 and 1.2 where content was added. There's no new content being added in 1.3 with the exception being "preseason" ranked warzones which were promised for 1.2 so we'll see how that goes. As far as new HM's or Op's or warzone arenas or etc etc, there's nothing else to do. This is mainly a quality of life patch that's coming up, most of which really just should've been included. What is this supposed to do for me? Am I to level a Catman with my new droid companion in tow, then do the same boring content at the end that I've done dozens (if not more) times using the LFG Tool? The stupid LFG Tool should've been in day 1, they had a similar system already in place called Queing for WZ's, why couldn't they adapt that or base it off of that model? Most MMO's that I can think of have had server transfers for awhile, how is it hard in relation to their jobs? Who the hell cares about Legacy if that was their issue, the _____ is stupid anyways. Yeah i'll surely drop a few million to put a mailbox on my crappy ship when I can walk my butt off the ship for free. Its all in well but it doesn't translate into anything for me to do with my lvl 50 main and alts. As for the second part of your remark, because you buy a 60 day time card or have a certain billing plan, cancel your sub, and have time left on your account. People check the forums for their own reasons dood.

Nah I don't think so. I cancelled my sub 2 weeks ago and haven't been back on since to ride out the last few weeks. I have alot of the same issues everyone else has. Too many epic bugs, endgame armor looks dumb as all hell, fixes take too long to come, super light servers, NEW LEVEL CAP SOON-ISH?!?! ***?, nothing substantial in terms of content being added in 1.3, and the biggest of them all I'm bored. I can see coming back just to try for every reason other than my last one. I'm just so bored at level 50. Those of you who say "oh, just herpa derp level another derpalt!" No. The stories are interesting but i'm sick of the rest of the nonsense "Kill 10 million X enemies" on every planet. I've done all the endgame content with the exception of the NM KP/EV but most of the time i quickly run through my dailies in like an hour or so (yeah im about that fast, +30 min if im taking my time) then sit on fleet doing crafting waiting for a WZ que to pop or a group to be shouted for on fleet. I play with RL friends and new SWTOR ones, I do space combat, I do WZ's, I do endgame PVE content, i've gotten all the datacrons, I have 2 lvl 50's with another lvl 35. Sorry, but i'm just so bored. I got CoD, Halo, Minecraft, new Skyrim dlc in a few weeks, D3, I wanna get on that GW2 beta, etc etc etc and I have significantly more FUN with all of them. Also, let's not forget the bitter taste I have in my mouth after DA2, ME3, and now this. yeah i'm being a spiteful ___hole but I just don't want them to steal my money anymore. EA is a crappy business that has ruined Bioware. Say what you will about Activision/Blizzard but Blizzard hasn't delivered a crap product. They've maintained their reputation and that's what sells their games. If a sandwich shop that once made amazing sandwiches decides to cut corners to save money and now make a disgusting overpriced sandwich, are you gonna keep giving the shop a chance after the $280 of rotten sandwiches that you've purchased (roughly how much I've paid for EAware products)??? Keep my money EAware, I hope you choke on it.

Hey Allison, while it's cool that you folks are recognizing this, the Known Issues List really should be continually updated as more and more bugs flow in. I'm aware that this would require more internal communication, it still does not excuse the silence of many issues. Due to the overall lackluster Customer Service on much of these issues, the typical CS response "Thank you, it's been forwarded, we have no other information at this time" really just feels like watching your boss say thank you for the proposal as he tosses it in the trash. I'm not accusing Eaware of doing this but the coldness of CS reps gives that impression to alot of people (such as myself) and makes it so that less bug reports are filed. While that may be what some want (yeah I hate getting extra work to do at work too) it leads to less bug reports and thus less visibility to the devs since you stated that the more reports that get sent, the more they're looked at. Adding EVERYTHING to the Known Issues List will show that players are being heard and that the issues are, in fact, being looked at. Nobody really enjoys acknowledging their mistakes but it's high time to do so. This also would make less redundant reports being filed (another poster mentioned this) so that more time can be given to sort out and discover new issues. To a large majority of players like me, the bugs and problems with end game Op boss fights are tremendously, immensely, monumentally more important than certain companion headgear not equipping properly or even new Legacy features being added.

im not exactly pumped for a new level cap. seems too soon for a bump in level

As far as the boss fights go, it'd be nice to see some love given to melee dps in general. Such as include certain phases where melee dps is much preferred (like the Urtagh wb fight during the Rakghoul event where Ranged wasn't as effective). It'd create a better mix and allow for better diversity in raid composition. Better tune the fights. Shortening enrage timers isn't such a great way to "balance" fights. As a Jugg tank, I would love better threat generation. During Firebrand and Stormcaller, if im not careful with pumping in as much aggro moves as possible, the dps thats trying to blast the bosses down will easily strip hate from me. This is extremely bad during Double Destruction for example. Yes I know, "Use your taunt!" but because of the tank swapping that has to keep happening during most of those fights, I really don't like spamming my taunt since I might actually really need it and when it comes time to swap b/t Z & T or F & S, it cannot be on cooldown or its a wipe Allow for more than 1 "Focus Target" this would be a great tool for healers (watch tanks to see if a buddy healer is having a rough time, tanks can use this to easily swap between bosses, and same with dps) this would also be great for raid leaders to watch the health of the bosses so that they may die at the same time, as so many of your boss fights require. Overall careful watch (AND RESOLUTION) for bugs in these boss fights. I don't want to fight against bugs, i want to fight against the bosses. There's few things more aggravating than being unable to fight Foreman Crusher since the shield protecting him area popped back up but the turrets did not, or during the 2nd Double Destruction in the Firebrand/Stormcaller fight when a Lightening spire lands on the boss and kills all your dps, or markers on the ground not appearing properly or the range of the AOE's is larger than indicated by the red circle, or when Bonethrasher hits me with a swipe when im 5 meters behind his tail. Severe issues with these fights need to be dealt with promptly instead of making sure character voices sound properly when wearing headgear.

I don't like the possible negative outcomes of this being included but it does make sense. I wanted to do Lost Island Hard Mode (i'm quite geared for it) and was invited into a crew of fresh 50's with all pvp recruit gear on. There wasn't a chance in hell that we would've even gotten the first shaclaw miniboss down to 80% health without wiping, let alone have a chance at completing it. Or when i did EV HM with a fresh 50 healer with columi bracers and boots, with some orange gear with green/blue/purp mods in it and a green level 33 implant, the other geared healer was so overburdened with picking up the slack that we couldn't down Soa. It's not a matter of "if you're not wearing the hip cool kid clothes you can't play with us" mentality but more the, if you're not prepared, you're going to die and everyone's gonna get angry. This stuff does happen and I don't enjoy getting my clock cleaned repeatedly because of a weak link, if everybody enjoyed facing the same enemy over and over again for hours with no hope of killing it, everyone might as well fly to Ilum when you first get your ship and try grouping up with someone doing Poisonous Strategy. But no, I like loot and I like winning.

I wish I could disagree but pretty much everyone here is right. I logged onto Fatman to see what the population is like, over 110 players on Korriban at 10:30p edt on a Thursday, on my Juyo Server (which is listed as Standard rofl), there were 6. Then what is a "Light" server like, 1 person on Korriban?? This isn't an MMO with all these servers. They should've only had 10 servers max at the beggining, not 50. There are alot of complaints but the biggest and most common one is nobody is every on. I'm losing faith really fast, they gotta implement these server transfers immediately, even if it comes at the expense of their novelty Legacy credit sink. It's a cool idea but the Legacy system is like spinning rims on a car. It's a cool idea but it doesn't mean much if the car ain't running.

What's the status on server transfers? Is this something that we're going to see in 1.3? The forums are riddled with depressing stories about guild withering and dying due to low populations. It feels like the game is starting to go downhill fast in regards to this. I'd be willing to pay to move and throw away all my legacy stuff just so I can enjoy playing again.

Im on the Juyo server and it's just been getting worse and worse. Everyone pretty much has the same complaints, that there's nothing to do when you're 50 after a certain point. If you don't have a core of at least 8 like minded individuals, you're stuck doing nothing. The populations on each planet are "exploding" if there's more than 10 people on them. Fleet rarely gets above 100. Im guestimating that theres 150 max actively playing on my server. I've been trying to host more ops and what have you but guildies are just losing interest. The core group is leaving and there's not enough people to recruit from. I do really enjoy the game but im having a tough time wanting to log into this ghosttown. For the record, id rather cancel my sub than reroll on another server. It just aint happening.

I've tried a few times to do this FP on HM with a buddy of mine to help get him geared but I haven't been able to get past HK47 since 1.2 hit. He goes into his chamber and then no panels spawn. HK however, snipes us while he's in there doing 5-7k dmg per until the chamber opens of its own accord. At which time he's enraged so he kills off whoever is left. I've tried this FP 5 different times and multiple tries and each time the same thing happens. I have sent in a few bug reports on this and I get the same automated CSR response that it'll be sent to a development team. I'm less than happy that it is not even in the Known Issues thread. It's been like this for almost 3 weeks for me. I personally don't care since my main is full columi+ but it still sucks for newer 50's trying to get geared and getting defeated by bugs beyond their control. For CSR reps I still have 2 of the ticket numbers for the bug reports if you wanna recheck into it. Edit: I do care, but it affects me less than others.

The best one ive seen was Darth Hotdog lol

Lol i log in, start fighting a mob. "Server shuts down in 15 min." Da ****?
