OP, you have wasted your time addressing this issue to Bioware. They do not read the forums and they do not care that you are unhappy with their business model. They have 1.699999 people that are apparently happy with the game in it's current state.

Don't be surprised if there is more downtime later this week to fix the problems they create from tonights patch. This ongoing issue seems to be included in their business model however.

Help me out here.
Well done pursang, you caught me. I am trying to start a riot and instill fear in those that are the sheep and not the shephard. NO that was a joke, what I am trying to do is bring the community to the attention (which they already are) and with the numbers gathered, raise an eyebrow of the dev. Yes I would like them to take my advice and I'm sure others have started similar threads, but if we just close our eyes and pay no attention or if we just "let things be" we will never get a response. 1 person cant change the world, but many can.

  • Killing players on Ilum will now consistently grant Valor and mission credit as intended.

is not and should not be of high priority, it does not affect your ability to play the game and it does not affect your ability to earn other rewards. clearly the dev do not see things as I do and they unfortunately agree with you. but please note, in doing so have further removed your ability to aqcuire said rewards for a further 4+ hours and that is if they fix things correctly not to mention the servers will be going down as per sched maintenance period. I do not see how this is favourable in your eyes, but I digress.

An "URGENT" patch would include: the inability to play the game (i.e. continual crashing, unable to load the game, graphic glitches that prevent seeing anything, black screen, no sound etc). the ability to not acquire a daily credit IMO would be in comparison to a benign mosquito (not contaminated with anything deadly) in an african jungle of issues, sure it's annoying and you would like to squash the bug, but you gotta worry about the bigger and more important things. (Triage)

Thank you for your response, I appreciate all insights into this and would appreciate more opinions on this issue.
Because of this bug, thousands of people have had days of their play ruined. So, in your opinion, these people should just **** and keep playing illum for no valour for another five or six days because you'll be slightly inconvenienced for four hours in the middle of the night. Get real.

I'd accept a downtime in the middle of the night every night if they got some of these bugs fixed. In fact I request it.

It affects as few people as possible and improves the game.

I do not see this as constructive. you attack my opinion once again without fully understanding what I have written, you do not deserve a response, however I will assist you in understanding.

playing 1/100 of something is not 100/100 of anything. if you fail to see how this is a small and insignificant issue then there is no hope. please understand there are people out there that unlike me are actually having difficulty playing the game due to (crashes and black screens and no sound). getting a credit is hardly in contrast to being able to play the game. I would see this bug as a high priority and your "credit" as a speck of sand on the beach.

once again, let me assist. if you are unable to get credit for something on Ilum. go somewhere else. why bring down a server for 4+ hrs for the benefit of a credit.

Obviously you are guilty of the very thing you are accusing me of. I'm sorry if you can't go a precious four hours without playing on your spaceman, and I am very aware of the bugs you are addressing, I play on a very budget PC and don't even have a video card. Let me put this another way.

Say that the patch last Tuesday, instead of disabling awards on Illum, disabled awards for high level PVE flashpoints and quest rewards. Would you just PVP instead for the next week and say "Oh well, I guess that PVE Isn't 100% of the game anyway." Or would you hope for a quick patch that would indeed result in a short amount of downtime (Four hours is not very long) so you could continue playing the content you enjoy? I don't understand why you feel you're being treated unfairly.

Keep at it BioWare; drive off everyone who is on the fence with your constant downtimes patching in more bugs or totally random and unnecessary changes.

I haven't missed the point. You are asking for the community to stand as one to fix an issue that Bioware hopefully cannot ignore. But if BW don't read the forums then it doesn't matter if the community stands on the moon and collectively yells at them to fix the issue. They simply go on with their daily lives.

It's not as if the people of this community have been sitting idly on their hands not requesting/demanding/QQ'ing/Whining about issues on a daily basis. You just have to read through the thousands of pages to see that most things go unnoticed.

How about including a patch to fix the patch that was supposed to fix the patch for the patch to fix WZ wins not being credited?

Or how about fixing the numerous WZ exploits like the ability to have more than 8 people join a WZ or the objective exploits?

What are they fixing really? Are they fixing this so people can go back to kill trading for valor or is it really broken? You can complete the daily without killing a single person, so it isn't game breaking.
