TheRealDestian Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I made and bumped this thread like a mad SOB: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=226486 In the 1.1.2 patch notes: "If Sprint was active when a player died, it now remains active when the player is revived." Thanks for listening, BW. (Cue whining about "BW hasn't listened about ______", ignoring the fact that changes take time...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarai Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (Cue whining about "BW hasn't listened about ______", ignoring the fact that changes take time...) Also ignoring that the mere fact of players wanting a change does't make it a good change... Something like this comes in because it's a good change. If the devs know something would be a bad change, no amount of forum whining will ever get it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he was saying is that they listened to the players about this issue, i dont understand your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying "they haven't listened about X" could well be moaning about something that would be a bad change - and believe it or not, players request things that would be bad for a game all the bloody time (largely, it's a perspective issue).

Yeah, this is definitely an issue. I've made suggestions for things that I definitely don't expect them to actually put in, but would be neat if they did. This was a minor change and a HUGE PITA, especially in PvP. You need to reactivate sprint every time you die, which means sprint NEEDED to be on a hotbar, taking up an unnecessary space.

Inarai Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah, this is definitely an issue. Not really an issue (aside from being a community issue) in light of two things: Designers think differently from players and make decisions about changes, and for this game the metrics system in place means that they can actually have reliable data to base their decisions upon.

I mean it's an issue in the sense that people very often make angry topics about various things that A) aren't good suggestions and B) only serve to act as more fodder devs have to sort through to FIND good suggestions.

That is true. It's also part of what the Community Team is for, pretty certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarai Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I'll be honest: not sure what he means. Is BW god? Be careful what you wish for, basically. Alternatively, it could be a comment on magical thinking, but that hardly seems relevant. Edited February 3, 2012 by Inarai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing for sprint persisting through death isn't too much to ask, but it at least proves BW listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirorx Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I feel that bioware does listen to the community. They were pretty quick to deal with that business on illum and the level 50 brackets. I am pleased with this TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenthiosLestaran Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's good to see this fix. It's also amazing that it wasn't this way in the 1st place, and required a fix. But, still very glad to see improvements being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
