Beachcomberb Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Everyone - we apologize for the inconvenience. We do everything we can to avoid taking the servers down for maintenance outside of our regular weekly maintenance, but in some cases (like this one, unfortunately) we can't avoid it. This patch is necesary to ensure a good experience for all players during our Weekend Pass Trial weekend. We never take interrupting your playtime lightly, and this is no exception. Emergencies do happen occasionally, and we are working as quickly as we can to bring the servers back up so you can continue enjoying the game. In the meantime, we'll keep you updated with any new information that becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to ensure everything goes smoothly this weekend. A good experience for your weekend pass trial players? Are you serious, what about your current players ? ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konatachibi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oh, and the Bioware division that deals with ToR is in Austin, which is in Texas, so not as Canadian as you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your piss explanation for this patch IS THE FREAKING WEEKEND TRIAL PASS? That's proof right there that your game is failing.. You have already started to recruit new people to play this game, Because smart people are starting to see where this is going.

ROFL.....So, bioware decided to do an emergency hot fix BEFORE the weekend started. thus unnecessarily inconveniencing a large portion of the playerbase to suit Bioware's end. /golfclap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirata_Kal Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thank you for that. I am glad you are leaving, even though I don't know you. Because if you will quit over an issue this insignificant, then you were never going to be happy here anyway. I hope you find a game that is based in the EU, caters to your every whim, and does not allow anyone that you disprove of. Good luck finding that game. Ps. I am pretty sure we will all see your complaining for months after you have "canceled" ^Post of the week nomination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Ziva Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Spend this downtime reading this entire thread from start to finish. That's not really possible. Every time I read a page of posts and click on next, another full page of posts gets added. The most hilarious part about it is that it's mostly people complaining about servers being down. Your life is seriously lacking if you can't find something else to do for a couple hours. And, for everyone saying they're going to cancel because of this ... **** and ****!

Yager Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The thing is the message I got while playing said, "pleas check the forums for more information" and I can't find anything official about it anywhere, in fact this thread is the only thing I have found about it at all.... Yeah, and for those of us just trying to log in using the "read patch notes" link from the launcher takes you to the patch from the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthar Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I think they've noticed some kind of exploit, be it in PvP or PvE, and they need to patch it fast, either that or they are putting something awesome in, but I doubt that as they have brought the servers down at peak time for half the planet and this will lead to negative press. Ah, so BioWare choose to backhand the already paying customers in favour of the tight bums who couldn't be bothered to pay to play? Very, very strange idea.

Coogihat Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Stop taking stuff out of context and quote the WHOLE post. Wht u talking about? You said it yourself, whatever they do, someone is going to complain. So they mostly do maintenence/patches during european prime time. Don't see how I pulled your post out of context. Just stating the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverlin Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My guess is they're patching to prepare for this weekend's free trial. But it would be nice if there had been some early warning, and even nicer if they provided some sort of explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDTAXantos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I was always confused as to why I can never find patch notes for patches until after they are implemented. I kind of like to know what is getting fixed / added / et al. as the servers are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinmunch Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I hope this game gets back on it's feet. I see massive declines in subscriptions if simple issues like this aren't fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
