I'm gonna wait for some more info about the "new gear", "new set bonuses" and "new abilities". And for it all to be accessible on the PTS, though I imagine we're gonna have to wait awhile for it.

I was already thinking about leaving them like this - for all my strongholds and for the guild ship - until the fix. This just sealed the deal. Not touching them until this mess has been dealt with. How they managed to **** this up when they supposedly didn't even touch the decorations is beside me, because if they managed to do it simply by revamping the preview window and putting in guild heraldry (you can wait until hell freezes over before I us that one, btw; not paying 1kk to have a logo I can't even personalize as I want), they're even more incompetent than I thought... Also, the top 10 guild list in the "guild invasions" panel is broken, same as the ledger in the guild bank.

LOL, so saying that this change - as all the other changes they've made with conquest and guild progress - is not fair to small/medium guilds is asking for an hand out, now? The point is flying so high over your head, it's probably already in the Andromeda Galaxy by now. Just a note, though: shouting stuff does not make people listen more. Now, I've got better things to do than argue with someone that doesn't want to listen. Thank god for the wonderful feature that's the ignore list. Have a nice evening/night/whatever-time-of-the-day-is-where-you-live.

I congratulate you, mate. Never seen such an high amount of assumptions in a single post. I cap 15 toons every week, which means I'm responsible for getting 300k points for my guild progression every week. Not everyone can do it, for different reasons, and not everyone finds themselves comfortable in a guild so big you can't possibly hope to know more than a handful of people. "Too lazy to push forward to increase their ranks"... well, that's sure is a shortsighted way of thinking about guilds. Based on this phrase alone, it appears you want guilds that hit their member caps every week. Well mate, unless they put in a minimum number of members, you won't get your wish. I guess trying to look at things from another point of view, to try and understand why small and medium guilds exist is too much to ask for, eh?

Aaaaaaaaand another change that will help big guilds way more than small ones. Congratz, guys. You're the gift that just keep on giving!

Oh man... thank you. Haven't laughed so hard in quite a long while.

Nice, another maintenance that will be extended by X hours... just wondering what you're gonna break this time, with your "back-end upgrades". When are you going to give us patch notes on the same day you actually announce the patch? Or at least a couple of days before the maintenance? Why are you always waiting to publish them on patching day? So, you call them "key issues" and yet you wasted time by fixing missing heads and missing texts? Way to go BioWare! The day you won't disappoint your playerbase, will be the day the world's ending starts.

Just let it go, NuSeC. It's pretty clear he thinks himself superior to everyone else and his opinion is the only that matter. I found that putting him on ignore saved a lot of my time. After all, to quote Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

There's no challenge in this. There's only more and more grinding, but you go ahead and be "challenged", just do not presume to call those of us that do not agree with you idiots simply because you feel like it.

Making no secret of you being "due for some big itemization changes to address a variety of issues about gearing" does not justify making this and intended change without saying anything whatsover about it! What's worse, you just created a new "issue about gearing" by making this change consciously. Also, what more feedback do you need to understand that this is not a good change and that people - from both PvE and PvP - will suffer from this? Add to that the fact that this new bonuses don't stack with the old ones and you have a very big mess to fix. Stop thanking us for feedback you don't listen to and start fixing what you broke - intentionally or not! And please, stop saying things like "we will definetely talk through them with you" because we all know you won't. You'll just give us bits and pieces, will not listen to our feedback about them and then bring around changes that will make everyone's life that much harder. Why do you insist on talking about being more open with the changes you're gonna make to the game when you never do - and you take ages to fix stuff, if you ever do - I'll never understand. Just do everyone a favor and stop lying. No one believes you anymore.

All of this. Thank you.

"Being a human and making a probable mistake"... Whatever you say

Lol, so yeah. They tested and somehow missed the fact that you start the new story line and you get companions that died (or you killed yourself), while others that survived went suddenly missing? I debug stuff everyday, so I can recognize when something goes live without proper testing. Problem is a text not displaying properly. Problem is a room missing some textures. Deleting every player's choices regarding companions is not a problem. Is a missing test. It's that simple.

Lol, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Allowing people on the PTS to test the story was never the right solution. The devs testing it for themselves was what they should've done. And since they have complete control over access on the PTS - just like on the live servers - they could've done it in heartbeat. Also, no. The problem is not related to "autocompletion". Had you bothered to read about the issue, you'd know that it happens to everyone. Otherwise, people having Torian instead of Vette even though they let him die would not complain now, would they?

Nah, it's not needed. They should just play the content themselves. They have complete control over the PTS, so it's very easy for them to get in, test the story and get out while using characters that have played the whole story up until that point, (or that have the choices made via database, for simpler use). As usual, though, this is a poorly thought effort and very useless PTS session.
