The reason why I'm upset is because instead of spending my sub fee to make content BW has been sneakily using it to convert the game to F2P. The dishonesty and underhandedness of how they went about this is just unreal. I've never played a f2p game so have no idea if it's a good thing or a bad thing, I do know I would never have come over to play this game seriously if I had known from the start that they intended to do this. I will wait and see how it turns out for now but I do not hold out much hope that the game will be for me.

So glad my sub is up in August, feel like I've just been ripped off royally. 80 bucks for a game that went F2P before the first year is even up plus all my sub fees that went to pay for the development of F2P instead of the content that it should have went to pay for. First and only game I will ever buy from your company, what a joke.

1. With the impending release of a competitor's expansion coming at the end of September that will include 16 raid bosses on 3 difficulty levels, Can we expect to see some new operation content before then? and will it include all 3 difficulty levels or just 2 again?

It's the new mechanic for operations . But yes it was very laggy tonight worse than normal Tuesdays.

Does soon = 4-6 weeks, or 6-8 weeks, or 3-6 months or as I'm beginning to suspect soon = never? It's only 4 bosses to rework how long can that possibly take?

1. When is Nightmare Denova coming out and please don't say soon or if you have decided to not release it can you please just tell us. Four months is a long time to wait for you guys to beef up 4 bosses and is really unacceptable. A delay of say a month is reasonable, I would really enjoy raiding for more than 1 hr 15 mins every week. 2. Are future operations also only going to have 4-5 bosses on 2 difficulty levels, with the promise of "soon" on the 3rd level? 3. Can you please define what you consider soon to us? Soon to me means within a few weeks at most, apparently BW does not share that definition. I understand that you guys got burned before and don't want to give a definite date on anything anymore. Not asking for a definite date just a time frame, soon = 4-6 weeks or soon =6-8 weeks or soon = 3-6 months, or soon = never.

^^^^ agree BW just keeps making bad decision after bad decision, it's getting very discouraging. PvE is apparently not a huge concern of theirs at this time, hopefully they realize that this game needs both types of players in order to survive and smarten the heck up very soon. There's a new expansion coming in the next few months from a different game that boasts 16 raid bosses on 3 difficulty levels, that's right 3 difficulty levels not just 2 with a promise of "soon" on the 3rd level. There are a lot of players that play to raid and if there is no content to raid then they will go where the content is. So please please BW smarten up I don't want to have to play that other game again . Time as the saying goes is to pee or get off the pot.

Hardly surprising, they seem to care much more about making sure the pvp players are happy than anything else at the moment. PvP people got to have custom crit crafted gloves and boots long before the players the did not PvP had access to them and now in order to get the BiS relics you must grind out valor 70 regardless of whether or not you want to pvp. Seems to be a very poor design to have players have to participate in an optional side part of the game in order to get BiS. Guess they are too busy firing everyone to understand that concept:p.

You do know that they didn't even bother with the Q & A last week right? Guess they ran out of fluff questions to answer . Seriously tho Bioware's/EA's communication level is pretty poor or at least the Dev's that are suppose to answer questions in NA is. I would think that with a major competitor's expansion coming out soon,( as in a few months soon), with major content such as in 14-15 raid bosses on 3 difficulty levels that EA would talk to it's player base a touch more. A lot of players play to raid and unfortunately many will go back to that "other" game just because they have content to do while EA/BW stays silent. I know people in my guild are talking about it already and that makes me sad because I enjoy this game so much more than that other game.

Four months going on five months to kill 4 bosses on two modes is too long. If it was 7 bosses then it would be more acceptable but it's not. Nightmare was supposed to be released shortly after EC released and it still has not been. The only response we ever get from BW is "soon", well soon can mean this month, next month, in 3 months or next year. I am like the OP I play to raid, I do not pvp , I don't run FPs, I don't do dailies and am tried of playing alts. I would like some new content like NM mode EC and am tired of the "soon" response. How hard can it possibly be to rework 4 bosses to NM mode. BW didn't even bother to do the Q & A this week, guess they ran out of fluff questions to answer lol.

I play a bodyguard Merc. I do not pvp, I do not care about pvp and I have no intention of ever pvping. How other's peceive my class/spec: The least desired healing class to take in an operation. I actually don't see as many healy mercs as there use to be prior to the nerf bat. How I perceive my toon: I enjoy playing my toon a great deal, it's fun and for the most part interesting. I'm still at a loss as to why we got such a huge nerf other than we were too powerful in pvp. Well I and many like me do not pvp don't care about pvp and are very upset that the class we enjoy playing is suffering in pve because of pvp. I understand that it's a balancing act etc etc to balance both pvp and pve, but you guys swung the nerfbat just a bit too hard our way. The difference between the healing classes is rather extreme at the moment Ops and sorcs are for the most part very close together. Mercs healing feels clunky now because of having to drop alacrity my heals often take too long to hit intended target (often the Op healer heals my target before my cast even ends lol). Sure I could put alacrity back on my gear then I would be high heat all the time. So please fix alacrity or revert some of the terribad resource nerfs you did to BH. I already played a mmo where my class continuously got the nerf bat because of pvp and I'm greatly disappointed that the same is happening here despite the fact the you guys said you would not be doing this. If a nerf is justified or needed I'm ok with that but to nerf based solely on an "optional" part of the game is not right.

Just use the alt lettering to make a vowel have an accent or whatever or add a ' in the middle of your name. There are ways around having to completely change your name.

I've noticed lately that the game has shifted to focus more on pvp, last weeks Q & A was almost exclusively pvp questions. With no information available on when or even if NM Denova is going to be released( other than "soon" which could mean anytime in the next year), is that the new focus now for the future of SWToR?

It's a poor design by Bioware that the mods and enhancements can be learned from both Black hole and campaign gear but the armorings can only be learned from the generic one that drops once a week. They either need to change that or have more generic armorings drop in Denova. To give players a modable belt and bracers but virtually no way to get an armoring to use said items is just plain dumb.

Use an accent on one letter problem solved you keep your name and get to be on a high pop server.
