Dezzi Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 No offense, but I think "Chat Bubbles" is the least of their worries...I doubt anyone is quitting the game because they haven't implemented chat bubbles... It's one of the reasons I and other roleplayers have quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 There's no real demand for open world PvP any longer. As much as I hate to say it, the new generation of gamers has no interest in that particular play style. Lol, speak for yourself, I don't know if I've seen a dumber statement all month. This game will probably die regardless, but world pvp is make or break for pretty much ANYONE on a pvp server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It's one of the reasons I and other roleplayers have quit. lack of chat bubbles kills immersion and impacts community. Just another thing customers expect from MMO's that bio-ware didnt care to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alifaraaz Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 My guess is LFG tool, Start of server transfers (this wouldnt have to be directly related to the patch really), Possibly new FP and Nightmare EC. Doubt there'll be a new ops, but I wouldnt complain if there was They did say 1.3 would have less content, not no content, just a bit leaner was their words i believe. So yeah ^^ looks good tbh. All I really want is Transfers + lfg tool + rated wz + nightmare EC. But I want a lot of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schriztopher Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Guessing it hits Mother's day (this Sunday) the 13th, since they released 1.2 on the 12th of April, and were "promising" content each month after 1.2...we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavensAgent Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Lol, speak for yourself, I don't know if I've seen a dumber statement all month. This game will probably die regardless, but world pvp is make or break for pretty much ANYONE on a pvp server.Have you failed to notice the success rate of RvR/open world PvP games over the past five years? Have you chosen not to pay attention to the reception of open-world PvP elements in all titles in the industry? The evidence is both undeniable and consistent with generational identity; there is no new demand for open-world PvP, and the existing demand is dwindling.

HeavensAgent Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) I am merely trying to say 'oh look there is nothing with 'allies' in 1.3'...But there is something to do with "Allies" in 1.3. Specifically, it is the title of the update. Edited May 8, 2012 by HeavensAgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskaan Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 If this patch doesnt address the population balance I am afraid even more people will leave. By calculations made in another thread, to balance population they need to effectively halve the number of servers. Unfortunately that would end up as the following headline-- "EA/Bioware cuts half the servers within 6 months of SWTOR release" That, unfortunately, would end up being tremendously bad publicity for SWTOR, however illogical it may be.

FeelFlow Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Allies = the LFG feature (because you will be able to group up with your 'allies'), surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely what they'll do is free server transfers, hope that the servers fill up and keep the other ones open for new players to head to? I remember WoW back in the day was constantly doing free server transfers - for about the first 1-3 years of its existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parvoos Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) First sorry for my english. Now ok. It is simple. Really. All u have to do -3 things. 1. Flashpoint group finder. And u have to do it cross server. And dont tell me crap like "we dont want to do it as cross server because of authenticity of every server, unique player experiance, bla bla bla". Fact is- It sounds good, but it does not work. Right now many servers are dead and ppl there stuck. And group finder of one server wont help a lot. And u will do it. Eventually. Trust me. 2. Server transfer (free and pay). 3. Operations group finder. And do it also cross server about 1 and 3. Blizzard proved that it works. Of course some elements, some game spirit (trying ot find a group for 3 hours) are lost, but benefits of these changes are tremendous. No need for some legacy crap (though i admit that is it fun) no more flashpoints and operations, just give an average causal players a chance to play and see all flashpoints and operations. This is your priority i think. Edited May 9, 2012 by parvoos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiaa Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'll laugh if it turns out to to be an actual "Alliance" tool... ... where you can become allies with another guild. Because we all know it's important to have guild allies in a faction based game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we all know it's important to have guild allies in a faction based game! A long, long, long time back when people were following the development of the game, guild alliance was something that was vehemently promised by Bioware. Looks like it (like almost everything else abt the game) ended up in the "wall-of-crazy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Sidac- Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Is this confirmed? it was leaked months ago and a few yellow people have hinted to it. It was posted then BW quickly tried to hide it. I think its more than rumors but its not a "yes/no" confirmation yet. They also hinted at rakata prime and varl as planets.
