Tsillah Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Server merges confirmed! The United Forces update expands your connection to a galactic-sized community of players. We will be integrating our existing seventeen servers to five new servers, one for each existing region and language. Our goal is to make this experience as simple and rewarding as possible.

vjdurjvldir Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Basically - no new content. Just server merges. It had to be done at some point - so no point in complaining about that. Still hoped for some news about solo content, as I use group finder once in a week. And it always worked for me on TRE.

nicolask Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 The whole one flashpoint, that's too much content for me. At this rate we might get new planet by the end of 2030!
Savej Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I've been waiting for this for 3 years. Sounds good.
menofhorror Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Honestly, all of that is awesome stuff. Nothing that I dislike or hate. All great!
Jerba Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) I'm a little sad that Nahut won't be released until 5.6; would have been nice if this was communicated earlier so my raid group knew we were under less pressure to get A&E to farm status. We had to take into account the possibility that Nahut would release as early as next week, which would have been very stressful for my group. I don't mind that boss 4+5 were moved into 2018, we were expecting that anyway. Great to hear you are finally merging servers, and especially that you are still offering German and French servers for players who do not want to play in English. Not too sure how I feel about the Copero flashpoint, especially since in the recent podcast you hinted that you would move onto flashpoints as endgame in the future. While I do think flashpoints are a great endgame content (looking at what Blizzard has done with the Mythic+ dungeons in Legion), in KotET they've gotten ignored. The tuning is way too hard for most players, the gear rewards are non-existant, the decorations were nerfed into the ground, the CXP is laughable. Umbara MM is very challenging, but there is little reason to do it more than once, or more than 25 times if you are after the achievement. I'd rather that MM was more tuned like the pre-3.0 HM flashpoints, so that it is completeable by a Group Finder group and not just with guildies. But we'll see what the future holds, I don't expect much but please surprise me. I'm not too interested in the new WZ and GSF map but I suppose I'll check it out to see if I'll like it. Excited for tomorrow's livestream! Edited October 2, 2017 by Jerba
SebastiaanZ Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Yeah ... no new content till november is a no no Bioware, not something you can do right now. And those server mergers ... please reconsider. There are those of us that like being on quiet servers. And I for one have 44 characters on Red Eclipse and 30 on ToFN, I DO NOT want to remove any of them. So I expect you to allow us to keep them. And how about some revised heroics? Now definitely with the server mergers, they are needed very much! Dromund Kaas Dark Temple heroic, Mutations heroic on Taris, Coruscant heroic with the card. Also I think you should extend the bugged CXP until 5.6, why? You promised us revised CXP rates by the time of the new update (and 5.5 is not really an update), so where are they? Oh right, they are coming with 5.6... if they come at all.
BlueShiftRecall Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) A lot of stuff look goods which is great, a little disappointed we have to wait till November 28, 2017 for any story update, I hope it'll be worth the wait? Edited October 2, 2017 by BlueShiftRecall
Tsillah Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Honestly, all of that is awesome stuff. Nothing that I dislike or hate. All great! I agree. This has a lot of good news in it. I'm well impressed. Edited October 2, 2017 by Tsillah
TUXs Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Um.....a bit light on actual content don't you think???
tonitirola Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 where is the road map????????? i cant find it
serenitty Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) So these new servers. I have toons on several servers, far too many than the up to now character limit I have. Will I loose them? Will I still be able to use them? Will I have to pay extra to be allowed to use them?. Also as I have toons on different servers, do I lose all their legacies and have to merge them all into one? Are you going to change the way companions that are potentially dead (to some) behave to those that did not kill them. I.E not make them irrelevant to those that choose to not kill them?

commanderwar Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 this is very cool stuff, very excited for the future of swtor
VirtualMorrigan Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 The link to the blog page detailing the United Forces whatever throws a 404. I'd like to know how they plan to do the moves, with regards to names, assets etc.

Well we're not getting any real content updates till then, but it could make sense to wait with that till we get to the new servers...which happens to coincide with the new content in November.

I am also worried about this
