The game definitely is not coming to an end.
I think they will get to the content the various people want such as raids and pvp.
Knowing of the release of the last 3 chapters in Star Wars, I'm sure they focused on the needs and aspects of the game for the influx of new players which they were hoping for and for which they got.
I agree to some point the game is in maintenance mode but at the same time they are introducing new content but more towards the needs of the new players of which the majority of the influx in revenue lies,
I believe as time progresses they will add new ops, PVP and other end game things.
Things to consider:
- Previously the game was failing not generating enough money to invest a lot of money into developing the game further.
- With the announcement of the last three chapters of star wars they took a risk and invested more money and came out with KOTFE.
- ATM the staff is quite small for development and customer support.
- After a period of time passes they will look at the profit margin to decide on future budgets.
- If budgets increase due to profit margin, odds are the staff will increase and the rest of the content people want will come but it will take time.
I think the end game stuff people want will eventually come tho not as soon as they would like as currently their focus is on new players and as veterans may not like this it makes sense on the business side of things. I also think the end game stuff won't be as far off as some people might think as well.
They have a real chance of not only recovering this game with 2 more movies coming out but actually reversing things and get it to the point where it can thrive. It's going to take time and stages, smart decisions in development, and constructive feed back from us.
What won't help is relentless ranting without offering something of value that could help move things in a positive direction, developers will be less likely to communicate with us as much or take the things we say seriously. Voice your opinions on things that are bad, but do it in a way that can lead to progression and lead to more communication.
With a small staff it's going to take time and mistakes are going to be made, hopefully as time progresses and their budget increases their staff will as well which will lead to more of the content we all want and less bugs on releases. On our end we can say thank you when it's due and be constructive with our criticism when we aren't happy, offer suggestions and thoughts that will help them create the game we want.
If you were working for a game company that was understaffed be it support , development, PA. Would you work harder for people when all they do is whine and complain even when you do the best you can with what you got or people that call you out when you make a mistake but in a mature and constructive manor , providing information on how things can be improved and thanking you when you do something right.
I'm not saying people aren't constructive and offer thanks cause a lot of people do how ever there is way too much whining, flaming and trolling that could impede the process towards a better game.

Thanks for the update, as well as making it sooner than towards the end of the month as originally intended.

Here's my referral code
" Link was Edited out of quote"
Just a friendly and last warning i make about this in this post, people have gotten banned for improper use of referral codes. I'd Hate to see you possibly being one of them. Not saying it will happen or not happen but you can go on reddit or in these forums and see where people have posted they got banned because of it.
Doing so right after a guide was made to show the proper way of doing it not a smart move.
I'd remove it before they do.
This is a highly visible post and gets looked at a lot by the moderators not a good place to violate forum rules that could lead to stuff penalties.
-
Requesting a sticky on this post in hopes to a constructive resolution.
-
First off I'd like to state that this is meant to be a constructive post which I hope leads to a WIn Win for both SWTOR and it's players. So let's try to keep this as constructive as possible. I know people are upset but lets keep this to suggested solutions and what you would like to see and what you wouldn't like to see. Having it riddled with flaming and troll remarks will just add clutter and get nowhere. Will also ask for some occasional remarks from the developers which is more likely if we keep this clean and constructive.
Let's keep this as constructive as possible and maybe we can get this stickied and used as metrics to see what people want and the Developers and Players can work together to provide a method that is good for both sides.
-------
It has been obvious that people were happy with the introduction of the Gold, Silver and Bronze packs. This was a great idea that a lot of people were happy with and well maybe some weren't but we can't always please everyone. I personally feel based on responses here, reddit and other places to keep these separate from the regular packs and introduced once a month or every 2 months for a week.
It is also obvious that people are not happy with the way Anarchrist Alliance Pack was set up.
--------
Based on observation of statements read from various sources:
People are not too happy with the odds on the rares and the inclusions of the chance cubes that don't offer what people are looking for in the Specific Pack. I think a lot of people would like the chance cubes removed and leave them as Gold, Silver and Bronze separate from the introduction of new Cartel Packs and the revivals of the old Packs.
Cartel Certificates were removed people were saving them and close to getting what they wanted from the certificate vendor I think people would like these added back into the packs.
Leave the Gold, Silver and Bronze packs the way they were and not inside of the normal packs bring them out once a month or once every 2 months for a week. Keep them as they are and separate from new Cartel Packs and reintroduction of old cartel packs. Bring back Cartel Certs as a rare chance.
--------
Some people may not agree with what I wrote and that's fine, here is your chance to say exactly how you feel the packs could work. There are a ton of unhappy trolling, it's understandable people are upset, but that approach isn't going to get us anywhere so let's keep this clean and constructive and maybe we can get a clear metrics of whats wanted, not wanted that might lead to something that makes the majority happy .
So here is your chance make a reply.
Say what you are were happy with so they know what to leave alone or reincorporate.
Say what you aren't and weren't happy with so they know what to leave out.
Make you're suggestion on how you would like them to be.
I made a link to this post at Reddit /r/swtor to gain more visibility. To view the comments left there:
Cheers.

Referral Guide: How to use the Referral Code the right way in the forums.
Added Note People ave gotten banned for improper use of referral codes. Getting un-banned is a very difficult thing. I'd hate if any one got banned for it. This is a friendly warning. Keep in mind this is a highly visible post that moderators keep an eye on, not a smart place to violate forum rules that could lead to stiff penalties.
It's understandable people want to get their referral codes out there. There is a wrong way, right way and better way to do this. Posting your referral code directly to a post with your referral code is the wrong way, do it too many times and it could lead to undesired action from moderators. Putting it in your signature is the allowed and correct way to do this. Helping people out by creating guides or helping people with questions they have while having it in your signature is the best way to go about it. You help someone they are going to be more likely to use your code.
Posting referral links directly in post is not allowed, refer to the quote below:
You can use this link to create or change your forum signature:
http://www.swtor.com/community/profile.php?do=editsignature
Best method for getting people to use your referral is:
1) Put it in your signature.
2) Make some guides that help people out
3) When you see people asking questions in the forums help them out with good answers
4) Providing people with information that helps them is the best way to get people to actually use your code and they will see your link in your signature. It's also good to not just provide a link to your code but also a link to the: Benefits and Rules for using Referral Codes
This is the best and proper method of going about it, that helps out the community, you and the people you are hoping will use your code.
Cheers,

" Referral link was removed from the quote"
Just posting my Referral for anyone that likes free stuff
Welcome to the forums.
Wanted to inform you that you need to put your referral link in your signature not replies or posts, refer to the Referral Guide in the following reply.
-
Bredlix just shared this at Reddit.com/r/swtor.
If you use chrome browser on your smartphone the code will be visible.
I just tried this on my Iphone and I can see my code checked on my computer to see if the bug was gone still can't see the code on the computer.
So if you wan to get your code give chrome on your smart phone a try.
Not sure if this works on other Smartphones or browsers but I can verify that it works with Iphone and chrome browser.

I highly DON'T recommend recording with phone. That'll be a pain.
You can use VLC, OBS or pretty-much anything to record that page, or just hammer printscreen when you see that happpening.
ALso, you can interrupt page load (hit the X) before it bugs out. This is what I do with paywall websites that thry to redirect me.
And if you know what you're doing, you could probably set up a javascript codelet to get that element and store it as soon as you log onto the page. Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey should be able to do that for you.
Oh and, if you have your referral code in your sig, but you also need to copy it for something else, right-click on your sig link and select "INspect Element" or just "Inspect", find the
<a href="blahblahblah">text</a>
..and get the value of the href="" attribute.
Recording with a phone was even faster than using Screen Video capture BTW.
For those with a decent video quality on their phone pretty simple and effective.
It's also easier than for some people to go on line and look for a video screen capture app if they don't already have one.
For those that already have Video Screen capture software you may want to use your software over the camera.

How to get you're referral code when the referral system is bugged.
Ok this is a bit tricky if you have never written down your code before but it is possible altho a bit of a pain.
Goto this link:
https://account.swtor.com/user/refer
if you click on refresh page you will see you're referral code flash for a second before it disappears, you can keep refreshing till you get the whole code if you can register it that quick with your naked eye ( might be possible for some speed readers ).
Option 1 If you have a video screen capture it's a lot easier you can start recording your screen while hitting refresh a few times. Go and watch the video you recorded a frame at a time or in slow motion till you see your code. Copy it down and save that link. This is how I did it when I was looking for my code and it was down or bugged.
Option 2 and I just tested this use the video recorder on your phone start recording the video of your screen and hit refresh a few times. Go through the video frame by frame till you see the image with your referral code.
Remember to keep a copy of your referral code for future use once you get it.
Enjoy,
DorjeeVajra

Hey folks,
I am seeing two issues raised in this thread, here are the issues and their solution:
- Error 310 - If you are getting error 310, please completely restart your launcher. If this doesn't resolve, wait a bit and try again. This issue will resolve itself in time.
- Slow download - If you are experiencing a slow download, please just let it finish, even if it is going slow.
These issues are a side effect of our external network issues from this morning.
-eric
Pause restart works better.
- Error 310 - If you are getting error 310, please completely restart your launcher. If this doesn't resolve, wait a bit and try again. This issue will resolve itself in time.
-
Every patch the same issues... I want my money back!
Would you accept a refund if it meant deleting your account? Just curious.
-
I have been trying to get the last 500ish for the last 3 fracking hours..... so something needs to give... I repaired and still same issues..this doesnt work for me either. every half second the speed is cut by more than half until its down to under 0.1 kb/s. how this game manages to screw up at every damn turn is beyond me but its pretty frigging unnacceptable
They are trying to fix some issues with the update and this is a peak time for people to download the patch so the server is going to be bogged down for a bit till they get the patched fixed and the QUE for downloads goes down.
Could wait till later when the patch is fixed, when the server is less busy or you can try to repeat Steps 1 and 2 a few times till you get put back into Que your download would continue from where it left off.
If you read the posts on Reddit it took doing steps 1 and 2 with some pause between trying again for around 2 to 3 minutes before getting back into Que,
How many times you have to repeat this will be different for each person.
Some will be lucky and only have to do it once some maybe have to repeat a few some many times before you get pushed back into Que.
*****
Having and not having BitRaider can also have some impact. I got rid of BitRaider by getting the Original install disks as posted above.
For alternative methods of removing BitRaider check out this Reddit post:
How do I use a non-bitraider launcher?
****
Keep in mind the steps for removing BitRaider will require a complete reinstall, whether you go with the Install DVD or alter Ini file method but in the long run it will make updating a lot easier and faster
-
The pause/play trick doesn't work for me.
Need to explain what sort of issue or error your having maybe someone could help you with your specific issue.
Try reading the replies in the Reddit Link
*****
I got tired of BitRaider so got a hard copy of the game from Amazon. It's around $10 for the original install disk, for the Original Launcher prior to BitRaider.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CWXAP2/ref=twister_B00HX1UXD8
I haven't had had an issue with the launcher since then other than this one (301) error message which was easily resolved by hitting pause and play on the download.
After you use the original set up disks you need to sign into your account. It will then convert to the new Launcher without BitRaider and all the issues that come with BitRaider.

im having the same issue this isnt working for me either. i am stuck a .16kbs, when i go this it shoots up to 900kps then right back down to -.16kps. with no chance to the amount downloaded. A dev really needs to cmment on this like now.
I had to do this twice the second time held. Some people have had to do it several times.
Keep in mind there are a lot of people downloading the update and they are doing a update fix so the servers are bogged down ATM it may require more than one try to get back in to QUE again after being pushed out of QUE.
-
For those having an issue with downloading the latest Patch 4.1.
Solution is simple.
1) Just hit Pause on the Download bar.
2) Hit Play on the Download bar.
3) The download should resume.
4) If the problem occurs again repeat Steps 1 and 2.
I had to do this twice and then it completed the download all the way.
Here is a link to an image that shows you what to do:
http://i.imgur.com/5U5A6A3.png?1
Here is a link to the discussion on this fix at:
*****
Some things to consider:
1) This is peak time for Update download.
2) Server went back down so they could do some repairs to the update.
3) Lots of people are also coming to the website looking to see server status and staying logged into SWTOR.com
4) This fix may require multiple repeats intermittently for as long as 2 to 3 min or longer.
5) For some this may not work at all. ( Hope this isn't you )
6) Might be much easier waiting till later today
Basically system is bogged so you can wait till it's less busy or you can try steps 1 - 2 until you get lucky and put back into que, for some it might only require 1 time for some it may take trying to repeat 1-2 intermittently for as long as 2 to 3 minutes or longer.
Not using BitBarider can help read comments below on that.
For me it took me applying steps 1 to 2 once. I do not use BitRaider I removed it about 6 months ago. On this update I averaged 2MBs then about mid way peaked as high as 5.6 MBs till it completed. You can see the download speed on the image link provided above.
-
I keep getting Network error 310, tried the one fix i found on here and it gave me network error 311.. the patch is stuck at 1gb remaining. any ideas?
Here is an Imgur Image link for resolving the 301 error.
http://i.imgur.com/5U5A6A3.png?1
Just hit the pause button for download then hit play the download should resume you can look at the image link I posted above.
If the error occurs again just repeat. I had to do it twice after the second time it downloaded all the way through.
-
Hey folks,
The team has isolated the issue, which was an unfinished Alliance Alert Mission was available. This Mission could potentially cause serious issues with a character. We are working on a solution, but have no ETA available at this time.
We apologize for the extended downtime. I will continue to pass on updates as I have them.
-eric
Thanks for informing us of whats going on with the update delay.

Actually, this is a perfect question. There was a missed note for 4.1 that came up internally today:
Companions are now sorted based on their Influence amount in the Crew Skill window. Your Companion with the highest influence will be at the top, while the one with the least amount of influence will be at the bottom.
Adding it now.
Thank You

Awesome TY
I moved your entry to the protected area. Thanks for the contribution.
