Elfa Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Most of the time, an apology is sufficient IMO. But, sorry this one is a massive hit on the player base. I'm fortunate that I read the forums regularly as I play so I knew enough to NOT relog into the launcher until this gets sorted out. You simply cannot afford making mistakes that force players to do a complete re-download. Condemnation of a Bioware action by this player may be one of the signs of the apocalypse. See you guys in the fallout shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisendre Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Delightful, I had a random disconnect and then *this* happens. Looking forward to seeing a day credited to my subscription. It won't happen but it'd make that apology seem slightly more sincere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 And people call me a pessimist because I think that things can always get worse than you could imagine. Or wait, do they actually call me an optimist because of that..? Anyway, what a fail. I really want to think that you are not as bad as many write here. But you are.

Sam_Skyrunner Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 This. Can't you just try to fix this massive failure by releasing it earlier? That would make too much sense. That being said, they don't even know yet what is in the patch. Hence, no patch notes. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Przemo_No Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 GREAT. SUPER!. How funny! and HOW could we know that it would break the game? Guys, with all respect, but "we released unintentionally" seems a bit too light. It should say, "Sorry, someone went nuts, and published the content that was not supposed to be published. We take a blame." Now, since I am PLAYING it now, I assume that I tomorrow would have to completely re-install the game - NO FUN, really, NO FUN, guys.

Tatile Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My god, the end times may have come. Andryah has complained about something.... Let's be fair, it's pretty hard to defend this. I mean, even human error isn't that much of an excuse because there are safeguards and fall backs and re-checking, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlaneswalker Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So after making the expansion free for subs and giving cartel coins to people who got it for free... and giving a lame title to your loyal, paying customers... this is the latest fiasco with this IP? Very well done, BioWare. Unless we get a heaping pile of cartel coins for being locked out of the game essentially for tonight, otherwise I have no further plans for continuing my subscription. At least you have the option to cancel yours. I foolishly bought the 60 days flat instead of subbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy_reborn Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello everyone, As some of you have already noticed, we unintentionally released the patch data for Game Update 2.4 this afternoon at 2:46 pm CDT before its scheduled deployment. If you have already begun patching or completed patching, we recommend that you do not run the Launcher until after tomorrow’s maintenance. If you do not run the Launcher until tomorrow, you will only have to patch Game Update 2.4. If you do (or already have) run the Launcher again prior to tomorrow morning’s update, you will need to re-download the entire game client. **Please do not attempt to log in or patch at this time.** We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

TheNahash Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 While I'm on the subject, take my crappy Risen title and give me the coins that everyone else who bought the expansion 3 days after me got. No. Now can we please, just for once, stick to the subject at hand and not talk about your personal grievances that we neither care for nor agree with?

Nokecity Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What has me laughing so hard is with BW recommending people to not play the game, its still people in-game looking for OPs groups and PvP ques. I think the people have spoken bioware, no one intends to not play SWTOR today. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drox Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I would like a Dev to remind us why we give them money. Since things like this make me wonder about my sub. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodisus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What I want to know is how the launcher can't scan and see that a machine already has file Main Asset XXX, and skip it and go to whatever else might be needed. Hey here's an idea, cancel your deployment server's scheduled task, oh wait what sort of Cluster F**K would that cause? God only knows at this point. For paying subscribers, or any paying customer for that matter, since this was totally under the control of Bioware/EA, and not an act of God, the company should at least offer to make amends in some way, shape, or form. And, the person or persons responsible should be reprimanded in written form to HR. This is just completely inexcusable, and then someone rubs salt in all our wounds by telling else, meh, sorry, you'll just have to repatch the whole client and wait until tomorrow? /facepalm ^100000000000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo_bongo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 This is ridiculous. So I'm to download all 12 gb and close the launcher then wait? Why the hell do I even download the whole thing then? Some of us have not so fast connections you know and it takes a long time to download....

This is nuts. Imaging all the people who play without checking the Dev Tracker first. Screwed! You guys really need to make this a swtor.com top headline. It doesn't show up anywhere except the dev tracker (and the 1 forum its in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiltonium Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Luckily my sub was up in 2 days. Caught it to cancel right before it renewed XD I guess I'll resub when the game is redownloaded in a few days. Who knows 2-4 days without any ToR at all, thats pretty much like forced withdrawal, I may not even want to play after the drugs outta my system.

RaiderMid Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 A pretty massive screw up. I think I'm on the line of just bringing the game down and doing the update now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible to just push through tomorrow's update today then? I don't think it's acceptable to ask people (like myself) who subscribe to the game to just not play today because a patch was released when it shouldn't have been and we just happened to log on at that time. I think the only viable solution here is to release the update a day early, otherwise you're basically asking us to either not play your game tonight (not good business) or to redownload a massive amount of game data because of a mistake on your end (again, not good business).

Andryah Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 On a humorous note. It is funny that they broke the game before the patch was released. That is a new one. I've come to expect down time on patch day, but before patch day is new. lol Heh.. definitely a "ninja" worthy move by them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a proud supporter of this game since Aug 16 2011 (shout out to Revan beta people) through all the crap, server merges, downtime, but this is a total joke. I have never been so mad a this game before. If you are crediting people for this disaster, I want a refund in cartel coins! Not some $3 off of my sub. While I'm on the subject, take my crappy Risen title and give me the coins that everyone else who bought the expansion 3 days after me got.
