2 days delay for what exactly lol the basic stuff isnt even working

I'm just wondering what idiot at BioWare decided to piss off a reasonably large portion of the player base 2 days before the next cantina tour and ignore them on the forums. Not so easy to ignore someone when their right in front of you tbh I'm glad I wont be there because if they think their gonna have laughs and people will forget I fear they may be sorely mistaken. They need to say something before the cantina event. (This isn't a threat by the way, please don't take this wrong its just how I see this event going tbh, unless people get starry eyed and just throw money at the devs)

I also believe this is a very roll over and just take any crap given comment. When a company decides to make a game especially an MMO that has a much longer lifespan normally than other games it is their responsibility to make the game as stable and optimised as they can. It's simple logic here the better the game runs the less people need to go out and buy new hardware which means more people are likely to stay. You also forget that part of our subscription (not all) goes into the development of the game so we are already paying them (those of us that sub) to enhance and improve the game. It will be interesting to see if they do update it or if they are just milking the player base for the last amount they can before they completely destroy the game because since 3.0 it appears their hell bound on it.

Hi there, there has been many issues with the game since 3.0 in which we all can agree. Many of these issues still exist and one thing that I cant understand is why our community team is so terrible at communicating with us. An exception could be made for Tait since it looks like he's been doing about 90% of all the posts as of late. However there has been many issues (Slot Machines being the latest) where there has been zero communication for days from the community team. I personally feel like they check the forums and only reply when they have to. If you notice when the slot machines were first released we had to wait until Friday for a response yet it was known on the Tuesday about the issue. An argument could be made that it didn't fully kick of until Thursday morning when the items became unbound. However part of the problems I feel stem from the community teams strategy of ignore it and hope it goes away. There is many situations where confirmation of a change i.e. nerf to slot machines or even a message simply saying that they are looking into this could help diffuse some situations. Instead we get nothing for a few days which often makes the problem a lot worse. What do you guys think of this? Sorry for the wall of text. TLDR: The community team need to communicate with the players more and faster.

Hey Guys The Red Eclipse is lagging really bad to the point its unplayable in combat.

Thanks for all the replies. We have had 3 on the Red Eclipse now (same sellers) since about 6pm gmt last night. The prices are ranging from 12-14.5 mil so I think they might have hit their highest price or at least for trying to do the trick that theyve currently been doing

Hi all how common is this mount across servers? We have 3 on the Red Eclipse cheapest at 12mil which seems insane. I can only assume we have less people buying packs. Although Im curious is this a ridiculously rare mount or just down to fewer packs being bought?

2 Things to take from the update. 1. Casino Slots Event This serves 4 purposed that I can currently think of at the moment. These are: 1. It sets a theme for the Shipment 5 Cartel Packs. Confirmed going by the PTS. 2. It sets up a build up for Galactic Strongholds Expansion which has shown the Nar Shadaa Sky Palace a lot. 3. It fleshes out 2.8 a bit with the pushback of Galactic Strongholds hense only slot machines? 4. This is probably the main reason. It's a mass credit sink. With most people saving at the moment (not everyone) for their strongholds the devs needed a way to get rid of some of the credits so that people couldn't get all the Strongholds. Or at least I believe that is the thought behind it. As for it ending in August that makes sense as the Strongholds become the credit sink meaning the Casino Event at least for the time being had served its purpose. 2. The Next Makeb like Expansion There definitely will be one this year as they need to have one out to compete with Warlords of Draenor. I know not everyone is WoW fans but like it or not WoW is what everything else gets compared to. I suspect this expansion will release in December although I think the devs are waiting on Blizzard giving a release date for WoD. I expect the launches of both expansion to be very close to each other. As for them not releasing details about it yet, they won't while trying to promote Galactic Strongholds because as soon as they issue details about the next level increase Galactic Strongholds will likely become old news and everyone will be more focussed on the makeb like expansion. So I dont see any details about this releasing till September at earliest.

I hope not I wanna throw my whole legacy in one building (companions included) for a massive orgy!

We only get one

Thanks for the info Eric. Quick question there was meant to be another expansion this year that upped the player level but with the official launch of galactic starfighter not happening till October now has that also pushed back the other expansion?

It was said that it was the subs that was also spending the most on the cartel market as well. I cant remember where I saw it but it was also brought up on a post in the forums last year.

As some people have pointed out the subscribers matter as the subscribers supply a consistent income for the developer so that they can then make future content and know what money they will have. The Cartel Market has to be updated often as the new stuff gets them a lot of money but it isn't consistent and so they cannot plan around it. If the subscription numbers where to fall to a point where it would make more money for BioWare to focus on the Cartel Market then thats what would happen,a lot say that sunscriptions don't matter but if that was the case BioWare wouldn't be pushing to get people to sub (The free expansion, bonus cc in April and May) also f2p would be allowed to do ranked arenas. Its the same with charities someone giving £3 a month for example is more valuable than someone who occasionally gives £50 a month as they can then budget around their income as they know thats what they will be getting. They can't do that with the guy that yes may give more but it is not guaranteed so they cannot include that in their budget.

I don't believe many have gotten my annoyance over these. I do not have a problem with the cartel market or items of it. My complaint is that they created a false deadline to pressure in more sales of this pack last weekend. Now yes they only posted on the dev tracker but most players were aware of this being til Monday either through Dulfy or Reddit or the forums themselves. Also many people were telling people in game that it was until Monday so the argument no one knew doesn't stand. (Also look at the ammount of Armour Sets on the GTN and packs, people knew) I don't think it's right for a company morally to treat customers that way, sure they said limited time so legally speaking they didnt do anything wrong but morally I feel that they used the player base to increase sales far beyond what they would ahve been had they said theyd be around again this weekend. That is my complaint.

Still 900cc but doesnt say 10% off anymore. I dont mind packs on the cartel market but creating false deadline pressures on us isnt right.
