Eshvara Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't see any flying pigs. I wouldn't count them out just yet, they just might start to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertimtaf Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Maybe they just thought, never mind guys! Let them have their fun while it lasts. We'll see. It may be possible that they didn't found every fix they wanted to implement today, which wouldn't surprise me. Or maybe are they grinding their last bit of Iokath daily ?

DieAlteHexe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I wouldn't count them out just yet, they just might start to fly. Be nice to know if I'm going to be playing this afternoon or not. Either way is fine but not knowing is making me cranky. Eh, buggerit...I'll just check later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangenee Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This patch is only supposed to be a hotfix for a particular exploit. They can switch the fun off whenever they feel like it. Hopefully Keith has seen the light enough to warrant a permanent adjustment in favour of HIGHER numbers as in a BUFF. Positive changes encourage positive attitudes. That includes class story bug fixing, hint hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the 15 minute warning in-game. So, I guess either I got the time wrong (from GMT) or they did. Late lunch time for me. Hopefully no patching issues.

Thank you for your patience as we maintain Star Wars™: The Old Republic™! -eric Haha, testing, very funny, just admit that you don't test anything patch related ever. How else could you mess the game so badly every patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Keith has seen the light enough to warrant a permanent adjustment in favour of HIGHER numbers as in a BUFF. Positive changes encourage positive attitudes. That includes class story bug fixing, hint hint. I'd be happy with a mid-way between the two. Seems a bit slow (CXP) in "normal" mode but I agree the bugged version is awfully fast. Not sure what I'd do with myself if I hit 300 anyway. Probably start yet another alt, knowing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriaHimmelberg Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I owe a big thanks to Keith if he really is the person who got the cxp values high enough to actually feel progress while leveling alts. Those raised CXP values in the missions are what encouraged me to pick up the game again and start leveling my main and various alts through the command system. Thank you for making the game feel more rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Crap, you're saying that I will have to enjoy the beginning of afternoon outside, and not in a game ? Lucky me, I already planned on doing that. Still, thanks for the info It's POURING rain here. I mean buckets of the stuff. Water is flowing down the road (we live on a hill outside a village) and it's looking very river-like. Perfect gaming time. Chilly, rainy...but nooooooo. Maybe a nap would be in order. It is nice burrowing weather (after days of 30c, it's currently 14c). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice burrowing weather (after days of 30c, it's currently 14c). Well, judging by the time shift between us, I think you maybe in the UK or something, which would explain why we don't get the same weather. Still, I prefer seeing sun outside of my window rather than seeing rain everywhere, even if I don't want to go out. Enjoy your nap if that's what you're going for.

DeshKelder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know the exact time is never known, but does Anyone have an idea if this will be closer to a 1 hour shut-down or 4 hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a big update, more close to a small fix, so I doubt the shutdown will take long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinowoman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know the exact time is never known, but does Anyone have an idea if this will be closer to a 1 hour shut-down or 4 hour?Twitter says "up to two hours". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrotic_Rose Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure its past the shutdown time now. So has it been extended or am i missing something. ---Edit--- Nvm i always forget i'm an hour ahead.

OasisKid Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So I have closed the launcher a few times and for some reason it is not picking up the patch an hour into the maintenance window ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So I have closed the launcher a few times and for some reason it is not picking up the patch an hour into the maintenance window ?

OasisKid Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Considering its two mins until the projected time slot for the patch I am going to take a wild guess and say something did not go or work as planned and maybe something broke whilst trying to fix the other stuff RIP but hey I wont be upset stuff happens I just hope they do not leave people in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
