do we have any kind of ETA on our server being back? or should i just go hang out in another server?

With no rollbacks, players that aren't level 50 yet are getting seriously jipped since they can't exploit ilum

If they want to set a "cap" they need to do what WoW did and make a wait time to get into ilum where it queues until both sides are ready, and do it hourly

they're adding 20 more turrets to republic side, server will be back up soon

and just when the republic was starting to get ilum back too!?!

What about Legacy and Color Match? I was promised those atleast a year ago.

Bioware has said that they will be expanding on their space. I expect it to go the way of SWG space combat in the first expansion, they just wanted to have some form of it at release.

I can agree with you that leveling is way too fast in this game. 30+ days in, we should not have as many 50s as we do. And casual players such as yourself should still be in their early to mid 30s. That was done poorly but with a post-WoW community you have to give instant results or lose your fan base. I believe post-WoW MMOers(?) would prefer being 50 with nothing to do but show off and re-run some raids as opposed to it taking a week to get from 41-42 as it used to back in EQ days.

End game content comes later. They didn't plan on everyone rushing through a game that has this much story. A game's release is focused on the lower levels so that they never have to revisit that, beyond that they can simply focus on end game. That's how MMOs have always worked. Adapt or G-T-F-O Edit: guess he decided not to adapt... makes that last sentence a waste.

Thank you for a reasonable explanation. Edit: I have a new favorite person on these forums and have officially finished ranting for the night thanks to his efforts.

If they announce a legitimate reason and a timeline within the next day, I'll forgive them knowing how testy programs can be. Regardless I still think they're looking too far into this extra content and not realizing that the main thing that is causing unsubs is the current problems, not the new ones they're presenting.

This could be the simple answer. This is their first venture into MMOs, they've done a great attempt but might just not be capable.

I don't agree with his lack of extra Os in his too

Well my degree in computer science was bought off the interwebs so i guess you're right...

I'm going to assume you're a troll... I'm going to assume you're a much more advanced coder than I am and that you know what you're talking about. But that being said I would imagine that since they have to break it back down again regardless to fix it, they could say 1 week from now release the fixes and 3 weeks from now the content. This is of course assuming that they don't plan on releasing all of this in a few days. But currently their postponement is indefinitely.

I imagine copy and pasting with a few tweaks could be done in 2 days to un-bundle it if that is indeed how they patch the system.

If you already have everything fixed to 5 hours before the patch, what could have broken so horribly that they could not implement some of these fixes? And you can't tell me making 2 brackets for a pvp system is a hard thing to do. Or that fixing so that the abandon quest button works is hard. Those 2 codes i could write myself.

I think the biggest problem so far is not that the content was postponed but that the blaringly obvious problems were postponed. The things people were mainly concerned with were easy fixes that i'm sure there are no bugs with: 50s Bracket Kira bug Abandoning quests Companions' ability bar resetting Companions constantly "wanting to talk" I'm sure there are 20 other small fixes that could have been easy, but why are you not atleast releasing the obvious easy fixes?

It's not the content we're angry about. It's the fixes. They could still do the fixes. 50s bracket is a HUGE concern right now, and Kira is WAY overdue, not to mention the simple ability to abandon quests, and companions ability bars not resetting every 3 minutes and them not telling you they want to talk for no reason. These are the fixes we want YESTERDAY, content be damned.

The thing that angers me is that they didn't even really explain why they decided to delay the patch. I think if they gave us the parts that aren't broken(I.E. the 50s bracket) and told us we'd have to wait on things that'd take more ironing we'd be fine. Or if they release the patch saying they knew of bugs and would fix them, we'd be fine. Most of the MMO community that actually follows these things is understanding. They just refuse to give us anything.

Agreed. Infact, i've cancelled my subscription until Bioware starts pulling through with their promises. Sure, i'll reactivate. I already know i will. But i refuse to pay them for the time that they're not coming through with promises. Hell, on that note i'm glad that they picked this date to postpone their big patch. Means i actually get to not pay since it's at the end of a month.

them closing the posts really just makes them seem like an even shadier company.

10-20 would take 3 hours to get 8 people from each side, with bolster working effectively 10-49 is a legitimate bracket. Sure level 10s don't have the abilities that 49s have but the abilities they do have are just as strong. The big problem was expertise which made 50s just unfair.

wow, I love how bioware has gotten to the point where when they disappoint us they decide to silence us as well. We aren't allowed to complain about a mistake that they have made: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=187390&page=2

first rule of deadlines: always make them well past when you'll be done so that if you run into errors late you're still on time.
