Kommon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 A month too late - subscription expires tomorrow. If these changes were made in March instead of April - most likely I'd subscribe for +2 months. See you in F2P SWTOR! Or in D3 or GW2. Guys, something huge just hit the press!!! /end sarcasm We care?

cookywooky Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Very excited about this patch. Still wish there were different sized characters and species because even though the current ones names are alien they all have human faces and bodies... w t f comon!!

Spankyjnco Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 How are we expected to test 95% of this patch when we start at level 1 on a test server knowing that it is all getting wiped anyways... Fail...? THIS IS WHY... every update that is more than fixing a couple of lines of text is followed by 3 more updates that week correcting things that slipped by the public test server... it's because we can't test it. PS if a dev IS reading this.. .goodjob fixing that abuse of the Ilum bug for battlemaster and valor, way to lie about that. Oh and the free weekend, how's that make you guys feel? How many people actually tried the game out? Because a friend of mine said he saw roughly 4 people outside of the fleet the whole weekend. Fail again.

Fail again. bah...all i hear is whining. and you're not alone. what is it with you people? nobody's forcing you to play. if the game upsets you this much, i suggest you find something else to do. Comparing a 4 month old MMO to the ones that has been on the market for 2-3 years +, makes no sense. Imagine if SWTOR was to keep expanding for the next 5-6 years. It would eventually be huge. And it probably will be. Or not. Time will show. But to spend this much time and energy whining about stuff being ADDED, i just acting like spoiled brats. I think i speak for more than myself when i say: cry me a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joburgh Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Ok, so i'm an all out altaholic, i'm not content with having one character, I want to experience all sides. I waited until my Sorc was at 50 before digging into the republic alts, and unfortunately i'm forced to deal with a horrible lack of credits. It would be nice if people could mail credits (not items) to all their legacy bound characters. My primary reason for this is speeders, I can operate fine outside of that, but once I hit 25, it's a nightmare of 1k credits at all times.

Cilionelle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I tried out the PTS a couple of nights ago, and I was really pleased. In addition to the UI customisation (which is really addictive), the FPS rate was up dramatically. 93-101 people on Tython, and where I'd been getting 20-25fps with the settings all on low and off, at 1600x900, I was getting an average of 60-65fps with everything except shadows on high, at 1920x1080. It was awesome. As far as having a Sith smuggler, why not? Or a Chiss Jedi? I like the idea of playing a rogue Chiss or Sith who's taken up with the republic. It would be nice if there was a stigma to playing those races on the republic side, or the Miralukans on the other, but I'm content. It seems pretty cool to me. I'm also in this game for the story stuff, with the occasional PvP encounter to enjoy now and then, so I'm not worried about mods and armour and being TEH WINNAZ. I'll just enjoy the game as is, and if they keep making it better (with patches and updates like this one), I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Characters on the PTS are persistent, apparently. So although you can't import your characters across from your main server, you can keep a character going from 1.0.1 through to x.x and beyond on the PTS.

bigray Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 First thing I noticed last night on PTS Tython was 100+ peple in the zone. Guess this patch is getting a lot of interest! I set all the graphics options to high including the new settings, and I was really surprised at how well it runs. With the better textures (texture atlasing) turned on, and shadows on high, I was getting consistent 60fps in most areas, and around the jedi temple where there were a lot of players it dropped to mid 40s. This is a massive improvement vs Live where I ultimately turned shadows to Low to get a steady framerate. Quite surprised with the performance improvement. I can only guess they must have made some optimizations under the hood, it would explain why they are finally willing to add texture atlasing for regular gameplay.

theeviininja Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well golly, a nice patch is coming out. I wish I was able to fully enjoy it on my low population server. Waited a mere 6 hours on Sunday for one warzone... it never happened. how about you fix that before coming out with more content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thlaylie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Will this patch fix the disparity of crafted items? I can craft a Commando Armor 15 at level 31 for example that I can't use until I'm level 33 for some reason, yet i can use commendations to get Commando Armor 16 that i can use immediately from the Commendations Mod vendor and buy Commando Armor 15 that I can use immediately from the Commendations vendor that takes credits? Aren't they the same armor pieces? The level limited ones don't have any special attributes? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzofever Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) There is a lot to be liked and disliked in this patch, like any other patch in any other game. That said, why exactly would you get rid of vendors in warzones? I really like being able to repair, and dump trash items in the 2 minutes I wait for the WZ to start. I am humbly asking you to reconsider this move. Thank you. P.S. I am also begging for cross server warzones!

Eillack Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 R.I.P. purpose for even playing commando (well one of the main purposes).

vertigoxxo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 BioWare should really start giving us the Patch notes prior to the actual patch day so we can prepare ourselves what is to come.... it's annoying to get a vague video that tells us nothing specific about class balancing, how about we feed the actual notes into an ongoing post like Camelotherald does for DAoC .... im just saying you're wasting your time and you're wasting your players, more and more players drops every day because they dont know if you're about to salvage the sinking ship or whether you are just going to let the game crash and burn....more info ....PRIOR to the release of a patch thx I do so hate people who hate on things just to be hating. They do post detailed notes, i just guess your not looking for them hard enough since they are easy to find. Another person who wants to hate on SWTOR yet has no true reason to hate them. This game isn't dying, crashing or such. Its player base is still large, just spread between alot of servers. Why they don't condense? Because its only been a few months and people will return who started this game but didn't like it because it had a few bugs. No this game won't kill ..... stops rant before he become as bad as those he dislikes:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigoxxo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 As another posted, alot of whining going on. It's somewhat shocking but I guess it shouldn't be, I mean these same idiots are the ones that expect a game on launch week should be as good as a game thats been out 5+ years. I have a theory about these whiners, and if your a whiner and this doesn't apply to you, than don't worry about it:P My view is simple people who are whining are the people who would normally be making a killing on selling gold, items and other stuff on other MMO's. Its possible to do here but not nearly as lucrative here. So stop whining, go back to Wow or another mmo that lets ya run amok! Leave us SWTOR fans alone.

solikepoison Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Good luck to you with your patch and all. im not getting my hopes up. It looks more like a pvp garbage pack than a true update. I hope Bioware wakes up soon and sees that they are slowly loosing players. I really think this update could have added better crafting where each of your companions could have did armor and the second companion could have did weapons. Space could have been improved as well like in sto or swg. But who am i kidding bioware is just killing off a game that could be great and also forcing every one to join a group do pvp whether or not you do them or not. this pure B.S and like i said if it happens then say good night Bioware for it will die just like galaxies did Who said anything about forcing pvp, if you have an issue thats what pve servers are for my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulmara Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 happy about most of the contents of 1.2. NOT happy about the nerfs across the board of all classes A bad side effect of the WoW PvP model unfortunately For copying that god awful model I give SWTOR a big minus Endless balancing/nerfs to your class regardless of whether or not you play PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
