Any detail on 1.7?

[randiesel]

Just curious. 1.5 and 1.6's main focuses were made very evident well before their release.

 

I just haven't come across anything about what 1.7 is all about. I realize its the holidays so there will be even longer between 1.6 and 1.7, just haven't come across anything on it.

 

I'm hoping to either see something about cross-server pvp, server transfers or general class balancing. However, tIme has stood testament to the fact that they are only pipe dreams.

my guess is next week after the new year is when they will tease us with something.

probably a quality of life patch and a new pack for the store

[Andrellma]

I'm in the boat of hoping for the myriad of QOL fixes we've been begging for since launch. There are plenty of other posts out there listing what the players want. But as far as I've seen, there's been no official word yet.

[Mowermanx]

Would be nice if they just spent this time before makeb to squash as many bugs as possible.

[Nellsterzzz]

i agree, as far as "new content" goes a QOL patch would do wonders for the game. and then maybe a simple in game event to keep us busy .

 

On a sidenote, I'm tired of new stuff coming out and 30 new things becoming broken. I would rather they spend the next month working on QOL for the game, because we all know, this game needs it.

Like server lag and kicks during peak time

[derder]

I just want them to release Cathar so I can make my Operative :C

[Knockerz]

I want to see paid transfers or transfers of some type. I been waiting nearly half a year, which is why I'm canceling. I'm tired of waiting.

Quality of life and mini-games would be all I would want.

1.7: The Great APAC Merge!

[arunav]

Might be the Ilum re-launch/event.

 

Bug fixes would also be great. An entire patch of bug fixes introduced since 1.4.

[Draekos]

Class balance; I imagine smash needs a buff and operatives can always use a nerf. Edited December 27, 2012 by Draekos

-They said a revamped Ilum isn't in the near future

-They have different teams making different stuff. They can't have artists or level designers go fix programming bugs. Does't work like that. However they COULD hire more programmers for the bug fixing team.

Oh, don't tease.

 

Still, if you can't get swept away in improbable fantasy at this time of year, when can you?

[ebado]

It's possible that there won't be a major content update before the expansion. In that case, there could be an event or something. Depends on when in Spring they plan on getting it out, I guess.

Re-vamped Ilum is slated for February or March at the latest. I'm not sure when I.7 is going live, but it could easily be in February.

Nice

You can just as well forget about Illum as it was at launch. The engine itself cannot support large numbers of players (more than 20 or something) fighting each other, so if there will be Illum, it will be something different.

 

As for 1.7 I expect them to add a large number of P2W items as this the direction this game is going and introduce already fixed bugs in completely new ways. After all ... that is their specialty.

If they limit players, then it isn't world pvp.

Now I don't have a link, but what I heard was something along the lines of "fixing Ilum is something we really want to do" which is their line for the 10,000 things they wanna do but don't have time for.

It was in the last Q+A. Originally, the re-launch and event was supposed to be in January, not they are saying more like February or March. I'm not going to find the link, but it's easy to find transcript of the last Q+A.

[Vitas]

1.3 to 1.6 was split up and originally meant to be part of 1.3 as one big update.

Looking at the leaks, 1.7 will most likely contain the flashpoint "Titans of Industry" which was intended for 1.3 and could also contain either Varl explorable world dailies area or the operation "Scum and Villany".

My guess would be that The Rise of The Hutt Cartel would end up being patch 2.0, not 1.7, since it the 1st expansion of the game.......
