I do honestly wonder how let down people must be that their personal wishes and wants for this game aren't being implemented if they are this negative about the game and the developers. Personally I am really cheery and positive as to the future as I see Keith is steering the game into a wonderful direction and I am utterly excited to see what will be in store for SWTOR for the rest of the year and beginning of next year!

 

So, let's all take a healthy shot of positivity and look forward to what will be. Leave all expectations be, let all your wishes and musts be, just take the material as it comes and you'll see you'll have a much more positive outlook on the game. Because the negativity towards this game and its developers you do create yourself, if you allow yourself to be grumpy and angry about it.

Its seems that on a Friday Night every server is currently light, my own experience in game would suggest that there aren't many people around, even with the bug its not done much to keep people in game. While the mood on the forums is pretty much the game is dying and is likely to enter maintenance mode soon. This may help explain even with the bug whats the point of tier 4 gear if there are not going to be any more adventures.

 

While through mis-reading of the forums or mismanagement, rather than do anything to give hope to the players the dev posts are about nerfs, with nothing to look forward, just changes to make those classes worse.

 

Now I can only imagine that the move back to MMO style content did not have the desired results, I wonder what number of players have bothered with the new op bosses or if the flashpoint has seen more solo play than group play. While we have seen nothing from all the posts that were made in relation to GSF or server mergers. I would even wonder if server mergers would help, the game is set up that unless you are grouped you lock others out of open world content so more people just mean more queuing up and hoping not to have it stolen from you when its your turn.

 

While the focus seems to be the cantina event, which last time was simply a cosplay event, perhaps fun for people that are there but has nothing to do with the game. And possibly maybe getting the roadmap in two weeks which would be 4 days before the next patch drops. A patch we know nothing about expect it is going to be filled with class nerfs.

 

There seems to be little possitive to take from this, while 5.4 was not much of a success with the most popular element being the inability to fix a bug.

Please have some compelling story on Theron's return. Give good reasons on why he did this because it makes forgiveness a lot easier. My concern is that anyone playing an imperial character that romanced him may lose him, regardless of what our choices were on Iokath and Umbara. Don't let that be the case. i am not in favor of killing Theron, but at the same time some have dark side characters that are played to not forgive a traitor. So hopefully you can put out a good story to appease the majority.

upcoming live stream !? When . . . ?

 

 

 

and as you’ll find out, we have lots of activity happening every couple weeks.

 

*keeps fingers crossed for new events that are not regurgitated content**

 

*with the exception of the Chevin Event

Hey everyone,

 

I have seen quite a few questions about the status of the Roadmap, both in timing and in content. I know this is more of an announcement of an announcement, but the plan is to deliver the updated version before our October 6th SWTOR Cantina in New York. I also realize I’ve been more quiet this past month, but we’ve been hard at work making sure we avoid the issues we had last month with Game Update 5.4.

 

As a result, we pushed back the release date of Game Update 5.5 to October 10, 2017, and as you’ll find out, we have lots of activity happening every couple weeks. In the Roadmap, I will provide you with exactly what we’re doing through the end of 2017 plus a glimpse of early 2018. After it's published, we’ll make sure we are available to answer your questions, address your concerns, and offer any additional insight. For those of you participating at the Cantina, we have a fun surprise for you that we’ll announce in an upcoming Livestream.

 

Talk with you soon,

 

---Keith

 

Will be there some info about GSF changes as response to the big feedback?

Will be there some info about GSF changes as response to the big feedback?

 

This.

 

I decided to step into GSF to try it out (long wait on my server, usually have to sound off in chat) and AFKers galore.

 

It's a shame it's not what it could be as it's a nice break from the "ground game".

Never mind, somebody posted in the Theron topic......teach me about reading. Edited September 23, 2017 by orangenee

I was thinking more of a wobbly, rusted, noisy, smoky mount that really looks more like a burned out tricycle that only Theron would enjoy.

 

Needs to be missing a wheel too, so that one axle grinds to the side causing lots of sparks and it goes around in circles if you don't drive it sideways. 😛

Which leads me to believe that there are significant factors that are somehow beyond Keith's control

Agreed. I think there is maybe another couple of layers of decision making above Keith and those decision makers might have their own agenda that differs from what Keith wants to do. Wether that's 100% or partially true, I do believe he is also being hamstrung and has 1 arm and two legs tied behind his back with red tap to get things approved.

My wishlist is pretty simple:

 

1- More Theron

2- More Arcann

3- More OPS

 

Give me that, and I'll be a happy girl.

 

My wishlist:

1- Kill Theron

2- More Lana

3- More PVP & OPS

 

Give me that, and I'll be a happy girl 😊

My wish list.

 

1 - Arcann romance

2 - ???

3 - see above.

 

I've never been hard to please.

My wishlist.

 

1. All romances removed.

 

2. My own personal battlecruiser as a mount

 

3. Auto-account delete for referral scalpers, credit spammers and various other annoyances in game. Oh and executions for suggestions I perform certain acts on peoples genitals (believe me, this happens a lot).

 

4. Option to turn off mail confirmation that makes no sense anyway

 

5. Some sort of bathroom on ship, I'm paranoid about where people do stuff on board.

 

6. Less green in Zakuul

 

7. More force choke options

 

8. LESS NERFING, MORE BUFFING

 

9. A comprehensive look back and fix for various bugs. I know some bugs can be hard to isolate and fix without breaking something else but still, at least have a gander.

My wishlist:

1- Kill Theron

2- More Lana

3- More PVP & OPS

 

Give me that, and I'll be a happy girl 😊

 

Mine:

 

1. Kill Lana

2. More romance choices (and stop writing characters out of a romance if they are allowed to be killed)

3. Better writing, where it actually makes sense. I.E. Theron betraying my sorceress makes sense , Him betraying my lightside Jedi makes no sense. (Note: and my sorceress is the only one that romanced Theron)

I just don't get this concept of releasing a road map a few days before half the content in the map goes live. That's way too late to serve as a customer retention tool.

My wish list (its probably more fun than staring at an empty train I'm not sure why I bothered purchasing)

 

1) Jaesa Willsaam return with a great story and meaningful arc.

2) Kill the traitor in a public and final way so any future content make mentions Nobody will ever betray you again out of fear as the betrayal arc is so old and tired.

3) A meaningful end game grind that allows you to play solo or group, pve or pvp with enough fun repeatable content that its not doing the same one flash point for 2 months. i.e. possibly an expansion with legendary weapon grind or advanced end game player advancement.

I just don't get this concept of releasing a road map a few days before half the content in the map goes live. That's way too late to serve as a customer retention tool.

 

I agree.

 

That said.. from some of the posts in this thread... it is clear that a good number of players do not actually understand what a Roadmap is and is-not. Some people talk about the roadmap like it is the early release of patch notes.. which is a completely wrong perspective to be taking. And honestly, I'm not convinced the studio actually knows what a Roadmap is either.

 

A Roadmap is meant to be a high level disclosure of upcoming patches for the game... not a detailed description with firm release dates. It is meant to give you insight in overall direction of the game over a defined period of time, not detailed specifics and certainly not committed release dates.

How dare you.👎

How dare you.👎

 

I slipped a few naughty ones in there to enrage the masses.

Yo, no problem, whenever you guys are ready let us know, I think that, if not delayed again, we will have an update around early October, so that is cool as I just finished Iokath... yes I am late

 

My wishlist for Swtor is simple: more stories and specially more Lana's stories please, a lot more of those

 

Thanks for all the hard work people

Hi all,

 

The final changes are done and we're prepping the Roadmap to be available in the afternoon on Monday, October 2, 2017 in English, French, and German.

 

I know with the last Roadmap, I gave you tidbits of information along the way, but I haven't this time as I really wanted you to experience the entire message. When you see it on Monday, it'll all make sense and I honestly can't wait to hear your feedback about what we have planned.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

---Keith

 

Thank you, Keith.

I have no doubt you are genuinely trying to improve the game. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the update and continuing to work on the roadmap! Have a good weekend. o7 Edited September 29, 2017 by Eshvara

Nice, now that is a reason to look forward to Monday.

This had better be good.
