KilllerRock Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have played multiple games and multiple MMO's, and while i would like to think the newer the MMO the better chance it should have of doing things right since it has all the failed ones from the past to look at and learn from...but whatever, i can deal with a few bugs as long as its constantly improving. Except this is the first patch i have ever experienced that did nothing to enhance me or my game play. I play a Jedi Sentinel on republic side of course, and i enjoy pvp. My experience of the patch is such. 1) There are zero fixes to my class or to ability delay/stutter. Okay, maybe down the road still. 2) Splash screen pops up randomly at all sorts of times...sometimes mid loading screen, sometimes mid combat. Okay well thats a new glitch, that i guess happens with new patches, sure they will fix that. 3) You chose to take away medals for healing medpack use. So now i get less valor/tokens than all the hybrids. Okay i guess i will still live, but sucks to be at a disadvantage for that stuff. 4) You chose to make a CD timer for abilities that covers them up with a blue meter that goes down until the ability is ready to use again. This is even worse than the previous issue you tried to fix for me, as i have probably more buttons than most classes and tons of them have CD's and on any icon it can be hard to see when its 1/10 away still from being ready to use, but on top of that, the majority of icons for sents are all blue...so its even harder to see that 1/10 blue at the bottom of the icon that is a slightly different shade of blue than the ability. Would of much preferred just a giant number over the icon counting down, but even the old system was better for me than this. 5) You chose to make Ilum a zergfest knowing full well empire has the numbers and knowing that majority of your players can't even handle 40+ people together in ilum without having horrid fps rates. And ya, being spawn camped with 1 fps rate is just so fun. I just am literally shocked that playing the under populated side, as a class that most deem hard to play/underpowered that you can release a patch that literally did nothing for me and actually made multiple things worse.

Tintagel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have seen worse over the years, but that doesn't excuss them from the mess they have created with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilllerRock Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have seen bad ones, but usually there were still a few things i liked that came from each patch. This one, im not sure i enjoy a single change they made and definitely do not enjoy the new problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilllerRock Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 ok, if you want to be technical, i don't enjoy any of the "PvP" changes they made. I don't PvE so whatever changes they made to the flash points is irrelevant to me. I would of had no complaints about a patch that only had flash point/ops bug fixes as it would neither positively or negatively effect me. But the parts of the patch that effect me, are all negative.

Scarstone Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I realy hate the new coldown system!!! The button is lighting up when you ,as a guardian, have enough Focus to fire the button, BUT you can't fire it yet because the coldown is not finish. What the heck is this??!! When the button light up, my mind is ready to fire the button!!!! Dont light the button if I can´t fire the button!!!!

Catch_TwentyTwo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Clearly the OP did not play SWG, were we has CU, CU2 and then NGE, now THEY were some crappy patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WulfJedi Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm in the same boat. I don't do Flashpoints so the new content is irrelevant but to further mess up PVP is very frustrating. And the other main thing I do is crafting and selling on the market which has also been mildly screwed over. Plus crashes to desktop that never occurred before the patch. You got to wonder about the testing they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Rofl it isn't in the slightest, at least it didn't change the whole game like the CU or the NGE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmerkin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I cant say I am too fond of the toolbar now, but everything else seems good (if it affects me) I am only lv35 on my main so the braketed pvp is great, wont see Ilum for a few weeks I doubt, by then it will be fixed. Zerg is my fault as someone who wanted to play imp not rebel among everyone elses fault as well, can hardly blame bioware for people not wanting to play pathetic rebels when there are redeyed lightning handed evil people to play. I have seen some seriously bad patches in my time, this is not a great one but it is hardly compared to some of the tripe I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit what is next youre girlfriend comes home with a new haircut so suddenly she becomes the worst girfriend ever? I stated in my OP how i play the game, and i stated that this is the only patch i have ever experienced that effected MY PLAYSTYLE AND PERSONAL GAME EXPERIENCE with purely negative changes. Thats fine if for you the patch is fine, maybe you're still leveling and enjoying that, maybe your empire spawn camping ilum with aoe nukes, or maybe you're enjoying the new flashpoint.... This is my personal experience of the patch, and i'm sure there are plenty of pvpers, republic players, and pure dps classes upset about these changes. Just happens all of them effect me negatively, and the rest of the patch doesn't effect me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
