Bullsith Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Being a major content patch maybe they pushed it back to add more fixes, like nerfing Operatives and Scoundrels and fixing so my Jug stops falling through the world in Huttball and Voidstar?

Halofax Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anybody who's ever done software development knows that sometimes you miss a deadline and things aren't ready when you hoped they would be. And seriously, you think there plan is to keep subscribers by *not* fixing bugs? And announcing that a few days before the first month is up? Amazing. How the hell do you not know you will miss your deadline until 10 pm eastern? They had all day to postpone. They chose low forum traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyceratops Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I was hoping this would happen because I've got school off tomorrow and TOR is my timekiller since I got it for Christmas (I am very glad I did). Honestly, I'm not looking forward to any of the improvements because I won't really benefit from a new raid since I'm still leveling and I don't PvP so I don't care about the bracketing.

mcburly Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 They cant win. If they release it tomorrow people will yell "We told you about these bugs and you did not fix them but put them out anyways!!". If they postpone it you say "I cant believe you postponed this update!!". Better postponed than giving us a bunch of new bugs or another economy ruining exploit I say. shhh. common sense isnt handled very well on these forums.

Rekooh Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I see a lot of words, but it seems to translate into: "Want to try our patch with more content and some fixes? Give us $15 for another month" decisions decisions I also have the vague suspicion that the next patch will not be released before the first month of play is up in order to bait customers into subscribing.

crimsonhart Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'd like to see what amazing fix they're going to add to the patch notes, time to screen shot the current notes to see what this delay adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpsStranger Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 shhh. common sense isnt handled very well on these forums. No, we don't have to be patient. We don't have to "give them a chance." We don't have to "Compare to WoW *at release*." We can set whatever the hell standard we feel like and vote with our wallets. That's some real common sense for you.

imtrick Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) How the hell do you not know you will miss your deadline until 10 pm eastern? They had all day to postpone. They chose low forum traffic. Low forum traffic... what? This time of night on a U.S. holiday? And yes, it's quite possible in last-minute coding or testing to realize you need a delay. It happens all the time. Seriously, you're starting to sound delusional. Edited January 17, 2012 by imtrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebular Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Thank you for the postponement of 1.1 patch, Bioware. I cannot speak for everyone, just know however that I, for one, love seeing patches delayed and under-go more testing rather than rushing things out because the "vocal community" demands such. Please, do not give into the demands of a rushed product. Instead, please take as much time that you feel necessary to release content as bug-free as humanly possible. Thank you!

Canarys Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 shhh. common sense isnt handled very well on these forums. Or any MMO forums, really. See the number of "I'm at max level and there's nothing to do" posts that appear in the first week of any new MMO for more on this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolfSC Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 See you whiners in three days on the fleet... No, you will not. My included 30 days ends in two days and I'm not paying for a game they have no interest in fixing the glaring flaws in. Have fun waving from your vehicles.

Cinge Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just shows people will cry about anything. They cry about bugs being present, then cry when they postpone a patch for a few days because of some new bug they don't want released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullsith Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just one thing --- Does anyone know WHY they are pushing back the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clova Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 wait, let me get this straight. We bash BW for rushing SW out the door early with bugs, and then we bash them again for delaying a patch to make sure the patch is good and ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxmask Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hmmmm very very shady indeed. First they come with a content patch 2 days before payments kick in. Everyone read in on it and then 5 hours before server takedown it gets pulled. I feel we are being played by EA, just a gutfeeling! Time will tell!

imtrick Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) There's more to the world than just the US. It's 3:20 am GMT right now. Yeah, it's 3:20 am GMT. On a U.S. holiday. These are not low-traffic hours. This is prime time. I'm sorry if you're somehow inexplicably offended by that, but it is 100% true.

Zebular Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Just one thing --- Does anyone know WHY they are pushing back the patch? http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=186975 Hello everyone! Because we care about ensuring that Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ provides you with a consistent and quality game play experience, we will be postponing weekly maintenance this week. Downtime was originally scheduled for Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 from 2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET) to 10AM CST (8AM PST/11AM EST/4PM GMT/5PM CET) and will now occur at a later date due to issues requiring additional testing that have been discovered with the Game Update 1.1 content on the Public Test Server. These issues were primarily brought to our attention by the diligent players on the Public Test Server Forums. Your participation in testing helps to improve the game as a whole, and we appreciate your discussion and feedback. The bug reports you provide are a valuable part of the development process. Thank you! We’re working hard to bring you Game Update 1.1: Rise of the Rakghouls and are working hard to ensure your overall experience with Star Wars: The Old Republic is spectacular! The maintenance window for Game Update 1.1 will be rescheduled for some time within the next few days, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. When there’s a definite time, we will post here on the forums as well as on the Community Blog. Please keep your eye out for updates, and we will provide information as soon as it’s available.
