Upcoming Patch Tomorrow, February 9th, 2012

No, you just don't understand.
That's all what i wrote and its the reality.
If you don't like it that's your thing, but don't bend/decline the facts so they fit to your point.
I wouldn't mind, but the devs don't deserve that.

This MMO is new, so there is a lot of patching going on.
If they put all the patches of last week together, the servers would've been down a whole day. I bet you wouldve started a thread if this happened.

Take a look at the bigger picture. The Problem is the rushed release.
We are playing a late beta.
Don't blame BW for that, EA has a history regarding rushed releases.

And i DO think that we deserve a compensation for that, like ~10 free game days or so.

LOL. You must have never played WoW. Sometimes they'd take a whole day or even more to patch and fix crap. Bioware-EA's patching has been smooth compared to most all other MMOs' I've played.

I just have to wonder why 4 hours for something that seems more like a server-side hot fix more than anything.

sadly, ilum is important at 50. its one of the few things to do. not having it work IS a problem. and SHOULD be fixed asap. if thats 4 hours downtime out of a week, then so be it.

imagine WZs stopped giving valor, or comms. of FPs stoped droping loot... meh just fix it next week?

this one problem cant be just hotfixed? whats the need for a 4 hour shutdown lol i made a post on it earlier and it got closed cause they cant handle the truth

Id rather this than not being able to play AT ALL every two days !


But Ilum PVP is a joke, why the rush to fix it when 9 out 10 servers have an empty Ilum ???


Half the wins from WZ'a dont count for people, and they are full of glitches and exploits and still some hacks.. yet that hasnt been fixed at all ? so your example is flawed.

And yes, fix it next week, its better than not at all or 2 or 3 days down time in a week, you forget that the down time in the main playing time for us in Aus and a lot in EU.

You should be glad they actually fix the major things ASAP instead of waiting for tuesday. I am sure alot of PvP'ers agree with me on this.

But come on. Its only 4 hours.

Problem is it's not 4 hours per week... it is rapidly becoming 4 hours on any given night, to the point I can't plan on ever getting a toon to 50, to ever have to deal with a hundred Sith wanting me to try to play on Ilum...

Really 4 hours to do a 10 minute patch... seriously... /rolling restart.

I just got off the phone with a Dev. They are tossing around the idea of renaming this game. I think there will be a vote off, in forums soon. Here are the two potentials:

World of Patches
Star Wars: The Patchy Republic

He said they are open to ideas though.

no clearly you are the one who does not understand, do you really think they spend a whole 8hrs of maintenance? do they even tell you what they do during maintenance periods? generally no. so your point of 4hrs + 8hrs just does not compute. and If you truly understood me, you would know I am not asking for compensation, I am only wanting more people to be aware of my opinion, you can like it or lump it. just be nice about it and give proof where proof is deserved. I do not appreciate rants that do not explain themselves, my opinions are "generally" based with atleast "some" factual evidence.

being a new MMO does not give EA/BW the right and nor should it give any company the right to flounder those words. this is why we have beta and release.

You like so many other PVPers only see the smaller less insignificant picture. Ilum is not the only end game you can play. and no I'm pretty sure that when they do fix Ilum, there will be more bugs that you will complain about and ask an entire server shutdown over. learn to deal with the bugs and wait till scheduled maintenance. if you just did maintenance everyday, this server would be havoc and nobody would be playing a single thing. that means you can forget Ilum because the server will be down for 100's of other KNOWN issues.


clearly yet again, people forget Ilum is by far no means of a "MAJOR" bug, a major bug and I know because I program, is something that would not allow people to actually play the game.
If you are one of those people that think not being able to play in Ilum is as good as not playing the game. then so be it, I will not try and change your minds. But please do not be close minded when someone tells you there is more to life than PVP.
