DimmuJanKaarl Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I realize they are increasing the guild xp bonus, but am I to understand that the upcoming "major" update is essentially only the implementation of tfb/s&v nightmare mode ops? This is not a qq thread, I just want to be clear. It seems like simply unlocking a difficulty mode should be a 2.1.X update, not 2.2. I looked back over past major increments and there seemed to (somewhat) consistently be a lot more content rolled out with major updates. I rarely get to do ops. As a dps -- heck even with my healer toon -- I have never managed to get into S&V via group finder and so have never even done it, and I've done TFB sm once. My perception is that a rather small subset of players will actually even be able to do NiM TFB or S&V, therefore 2.2 is only meaningful to a small subset of players. I would think that a major update would have "significant" content that a substantial portion of the game's population can engage in right away. In general the patch notes I'm seeing seem to show an extreme lack of content considering the 2-month wait time. So what am I missing? Is it just that they are limiting the info to the NiM ops because that's where they want testing to concentrate on the PTS? I see a couple of class ability changes, and like I said the guild XP buff, but I would be extremely shocked and rather disappointed if 2.2 rolls out with nothing more than what the current patch notes show. TL;DR: Am I missing something, or will 2.2 content-wise have only the new NiM ops modes? Edited May 28, 2013 by DimmuJanKaarl typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damask_Rose Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I thought they had said they were going to be doing a lot of quality of life improvements for awhile and I didn't see any QoL in the bullet points. I'm hoping they just haven't listed everything yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would consider 2.2 to be a "major" update.....2.0 was a major update. No one should have expected 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 to then also be "major" updates.

I'm hoping they just haven't listed everything yet... That is my hope as well. I also went back and looked at the length of patch notes from previous major updates and so far 2.2 is by far the shortest. I hope that is an indicator that they simply are holding back a lot of detail not related to the NiM ops. I'm trying to stay positive but i am really, really worried....

curtkram Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't think anyone would consider 2.2 to be a "major" update.....2.0 was a major update. No one should have expected 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 to then also be "major" updates. i think you're mistaken. i think alot of people would consider the format of X.X to be a major update. if the content or timing of 2.2 shouldn't be considered a major update, it should be referred to as 2.1.3 or whatever sub-number they're on. 2.0 was an expansion. that should be bigger than a major update. there has only been one update of that significance in the lifespan of this game (about a year and a half?) so, a new planet with a new op and a bunch of story that would take over a week to complete would get the number X.0. That's a 'zero' not an 'O.' A new flashpoint plus a warzone map and some QoL improvements would take the format X.X. fixing the bugs from that patch and introducing minor content like cartel market expansions or a couple QoL type things and rebalancing classes as required would be X.X.X. re-releasing existing content yet again would be more like an "X.X.X" update instead of an "X.X" update. but they said they would be releasing "X.X" updates every 8+ weeks or so, so they might have to be a bit flexible on content to keep on schedule i assume.

MidichIorian Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It's kind of like an update that would only affect the rated wz community. Only a small percentage of the community (I'm guessing 1-2%) will have any use of it. Most people have probably not even beaten S&V HM yet.
