Rynis Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 From what I've been reading, it'll be around in early April. Not too much longer hopefully! Can't wait to see all the updates :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilens Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Me neither, the ambiguity of the release window is frustrating, I feel like all this work I'm putting into Crew Skills will be worthless soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayln Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They will release it when it is ready, no need to set an arbitrary date ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycao Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I rather them push it back honestly. This patch is massive, and with some considering that the game hinges on this patches success any major flaws could be detrimental to the future of TOR. Testing is already hard as you cannot transfer finished characters into the PTS, and a lot of the changes are end game oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyJanson Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They will release it when it is ready, no need to set an arbitrary date ahead of time. Except people pay for this game and would like to know when so they can factor in whether or not they want to be spending money on this game in the meantime.

From what they indicated it will be early April, that is subject to change. An earlier patch that nerfed surge was also supposed to be game ending and the game survived that just fine.

So you pay for your car too, go tell the car company the date they are to release a new model Give it a rest, pushing against an arbitrary date is what causes problems with games/patches and updates Release it when it is ready, not before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An earlier patch that nerfed surge was also supposed to be game ending and the game survived that just fine. That was one change that helped balance out the burst potential in PVP. This patch has everything in it. Class re-balance, new PVP, and PVE content, plus the legacy system. I never heard of the soft cap on surge being game ending. This is just how I see it.

Mephismo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 It's not work or a job. Unsub till they release the part of the game that should have been out when they launched. Might make them hurry:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hopefully they take the time to do a good job testing it and fixing the bugs and, unlike previous patches, actually listen when the community tells them stuff is busted. I'd rather wait for it and have it right than get it sooner but messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that time frame does not suit the customer they may instead pay for membership of Blizzard Auto or Arenanet Mechanics, instead of paying membership to Bioware Car’s services.

I'd rather wait for it and have it right than get it sooner but messy. This patch will be tested better on the PTS than any that have come so far. Saturday night I started a new character to check out changes, there were 147 people on Korriban in instance #1, and there were 2 instances.

CactusBrawler Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh I agree. If the release slips to the end of April because they are fixing bugs in it then that is fine, although disappointing. I still would rather have it as stable as possible before going live even at the expense of pushing back the date. I don't think I'd be subbed then though. I splurged on a three month sub because we were told 1.2 in March, now it's to be 'Early April'. I'm not waiting till Early May (with possibility of slippage) to play a game with a 2004 UI, not if I'm paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnlyKyrenS Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hopefully with people actually testing on the PTS rather than disregarding it and ************ about it later, 1.2 will be a little more polished than the other patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clearly you're supposed to drive your copy of SWTOR to work to save on gas. Isn't that right, Dayln? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewalshinator Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 If i were a betting man i'd say the 3rd of April, giving 1.2 just over 2 weeks on the PTS along with the guild testing which started earlier. Obv could slip back if they need to fix things in the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I'd like to know a rough week 1-4 of April when to expect 1.2, I know when my sub ends, and if its before 1.2 I simply won't bother coming back, that sub money will get spent on something else, maybe a new game.

WesleyJanson Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They don't have a history of releasing things when it's ready. Actually EA has a history of not releasing things when they are ready. Things are coming out in 1.2 about 4-5 months from launch that not only should have been in at launch but were in the beta and then removed when the game was launched. EA has waited about 4-5 months to give us sauce with the spaghetti we ordered in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don’t... they need to work on that and stop listening to impatient players demanding things earlier instead of when they are ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble understanding how the deadline for 1.2 could have affected your decision to buy a 3 month subscription. I wasn't aware that any announcment about 1.2 had been made (including its potential content) before the Guild Summit which was early March.
