Patch, who cares?

To the OP, do you want the animation guy, who could potentially not be a coder, fixing core game issues? I realize how hard it is for people to understand that coders are not interchangeable, because my own management doesn't understand the concept. Just because you work on the same project doesn't mean you know every section of code, and there is a significant increased risk when going into unknown code, and of course, extra time to learn the new code.

Just because BW has the common sense to ignore people like you that ask for something silly like a combat log over bug fixes doesn't mean they don't listen to everyone els.

Sorry son, but this is the wrong place to maturely discuss said matters. You're at the prepubescent fanboy ivory tower hideout den.

Tread lightly.

The game has been losing market share ever since the holiday season ended, and this has caused a spike in rabid blind adoration and stifling of anything resembling an argument. The lack of necessary updates gets covered up here so bad that OJ would wish he knew some of these guys when it mattered most.

Go to MMO Champion if you want a proper discussion on the state of SWTOR. You're not going to find it here.

Targeting
Legacy (actually put into the game)
Combat logs
UI/Macro/addons/anything

those were my complaints issues that have been in this game since beta started over a year ago, i dont care about content. these things should have been in the game at release, have been griped about for over a year, and should be the highest priority of the dev team as they effect the most people. almost every thread complaing about this game has mention of at least 1 of the 4 of these.

This is sort of "I don't see a cure for cancer yet, so it must not be a priority and/or people must not be working on it."

We knew ahead of time this patch wasn't going to have Legacy. Last thing I read it's targeted for 1.2.

We have heard nothing solid on any of the other things listed other than they are aware and working on them.

Now you can choose to not believe them. That's fine. But just because we don't see it immediately (or even things asked for in testing phase) doesn't mean they are not working on them.

Personally, what i would do is just fill out my little cancel sheet they give me on exit, and either check back in a bit (3-9 months) and see if they added them. Or just move on entirely.

I thought Rich's blog entry went into a lot of good detail on how things work. But apparently it doesn't do what people want: fix things on their own timetable.

2/4 of those things should be coming in March.

Do you even pay attention to the Devs?

Do you like carrots? On a stick?

I'm sure you do.

The one thing that has been consistent on these boards since beta, is the 'Something is on the horizon, somewhere. Let's hang in there a little longer'.

But don't forget: A fata morgana never led anyone to the desert oasis.

My point remains the same i understand where your coming from and appreciate the response, however these issues have been around for over a year, this clearly to me isnt an issue of not having the people, they have added alot to this game. its just an issue of priority imo.

FIFY.
But remember.... he isn't a BW hater and he isn't here to bash the game.
No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"
