When will Ilum be destroyed by the Death Star in order to stop playing what you call "Open PvP"? Seriously, I'm not kidding.

Yeah.. that could explain those 100 million dollars...

So, after a nice read of the new Ilum article from IGN today, I discovered that Ilum NEVER has worked as intended and, today, it continues being a complete fail. Extracted from the article, words from Gabe Amatangelo, Lead PvP, Flashpoints and Operations Designer: I recommend all of you to read this excellent article describing the incredibly chaos and epic fail of this planet: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1219007p1.html Just wanted to share this with all of you. Kind regards.

You won't find what you are looking for in SWTOR, never.

A moderator will close this thread in a couple of minutes. But it is nice because that means they are getting scared. They are realizing they have spent more than 100 million dollars and people is leaving the game because of the PvP. Fear, the fear is my ally.

If I were BioWare I would be really scared... At last a videogame company has listened the customers!

At last we will see TRUE PVP!!! Now I have "A New Hope".

Even easier, Destroy the entire planet with the Death Star. That would fix the problem.

Ey! Just wanted to create a list of the open PvP design failures that BioWare has made and that is causing LOTS of ppl to quit this game. Here it is: ENTIRE ILUM End of the list. So I suggest you to destroy Ilum (including all its open PvP system) with the Death Star and start developing a new non-instantiated open PvP planet with objectives, relics, siege weapons, etc.

Wait wait wait... let me check the calendar... No, it is not April fools day... Really, are you *********** kidding me?

I'm still playing SWTOR because I did a mistake, I bought a 60 days game card with the game. After reading some post I only can say... my friend was right! 2 months ago a friend told me... "This game will fail, the PvP will cause most players to quit the game and in 2 moths it will be only played by fanboys"

Explain us why do you prefer SWTOR's PVP please.

I wrote a post talking about GW2's PvP (without links) and it was insta-closed. I think you will have the same luck Sad, but if they start closing threads talking about GW2, it is good news!!

... I have just read an article about the PvP GW2 will offer and it has no sense to keep on complaining about the PVP of SWTOR, which is in my opinion the worst PvP EVER. BioWare, you had and incredibly opportunity to make something big, to became a reference game. You had one of the bests IP to develop a MMO, you had a great team and you had enough money (I have read you spent more than 100 million dollars...) but you have FAILED. YES, read it YOU HAVE FAILED, TOTALLY. It does not matter the time or money you spent now to improve the PvP, it is late and you won't do anything better than GW2 will do. My current status is: Waiting on GW2.

Why do you put ** at the beginning and the end of all your new posts? Thanks.

The most embarassing thing I have done in PvP? Easy, playing it. The PvP of this game is so embarassing that the simple fact of playing it is embarassing. Simple as hell.

It is, but first you need to probe I did it. For all the rest, I will return Daoc (not WoW) as soon as my subscription time expires. Meanwhile I will keep on posting my frustration with this game, specially with the PVP.

It is not my fault, it is yours. First for releasing the game with SO MANY bugs that breaks the game experience. Second, to explain how to reproduce it.

Thank you for the explanation. Now I will enter to a warzone in first place and then leave it till the 1.1.3 patch goes live, just for fun.

Stop looking for the point, there is not any. Just reroll to another game till GW2 release.

I'm a DPS assasin and I get that medal on every Warzone.

I'm a software engineer since finished my studies and work developing software. When we develop a product or a patch for a product we have a Quality team that tests the product or performs the corresponding intensive test or sanity checks (depending on the release type) to verify the product can go live without problems. We also have a bug and change request tracker to store the issues sorted by severity (1 is the worst severity). If we receive a rating 1 bug, I have to stop doing whatever I was doing and fix the patch asap, because it means it is a bug stopper that is avoiding the clients to keep on working with our software. Meanwhile, another member of my team tries to look for a workaround for the client/clients that reported the issue. A rating 1 bug must be triagged, investigated and fixed within the next 8 hours and, believe me, we do it, and our products are very complex software applications. Maybe you have 26 years of experience developing software, but you don't have any idea at all of how to deploy and maintain it. Where is the Quality team of BioWare? Ahh I see, they don't have, they use their OWN CLIENTS to test the patches in the test server so they can save money. For that reason bugs like this one (which under my understanding was critic) go live. But eh, they fixed it in 30 hours and they have to make a maintenance of 4 hours to implement the fix that surely will break another thing while 1,7 million of clients are paying a subscription of 13 EUR to play it. No, this is no the way. So you can believe me, IT WAS NOT FAST AT ALL.

Fast? Let me laugh... 1 or 2 hors after receiving the error report could be fast. 4 hours can be acceptable. After 8 hours you start wondering *** they are doing. 24 hours later is something like... "We want to lose subscribers faster than a lightsaber switches on". BUT 30 hours after receiving the problem, when there were more than 100 threads in the forums talking about the same issue, is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. (Don't forget you are paying to play and they are earning more than 15 million dollars every month just with the subscriptions) WHERE THE HELL DO YOU SEE THE FAST ANSWER HERE? CAUSE I DON'T SEE IT ANYWHERE. Very bad BioWare, very bad, but you will learn from your errors as soon as GW2 is out.

Patience... Patience... Patience... Patience... I don't have more PATIENCE, I'm ENRAGED, gonna quit this game just when I submit this post.

They will say... "We need to schedule a maintenance of 8 hours to fix a bug found with the latest patch. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE" But I have also something to say MY PATIENCE IS GONE.
