Game Update 1.2 will be going live on Thursday, April 12th!

Of course it's not a coincidence at all that the announcement comes the same day GW2 pre-sales go live.

Major patches almost always occur (for any game) on normal down dates, and this one is on a Thursday? I smell desperation, and that is not a good thing for a new MMO.

Most of the time patch is avaible for download far earlier than servers for playing.


Also, major patches always occur (for SWTOR) on Thursday.

Would love an answer to this as well.

Yeah they're trembling in their pants because of a game with no release date, wohoo.

6/26/12 actually.

My quick thoughts on 1.2.

Customisable UI = Great, but should have been in since Day 1 tbh

PvE = Hopefully lots of bug fixes and good content.

PvP = Unsure how it'll play out. Changes to Comms, nerf bats being swung, Ilum going down the pan, new WZ & Ranked pre-season. Could be good, could be the death knell for some PvP'ers.

It'll bring lots of players back for a bit to see if anything is better, but IMHO I don't think they'll stay for long from what I saw on the PTS

weeeha, the "messias-patch"!

UI - other companis wouldnt even release a game without ui-customization.. now its the uberfeature for this patch!! but hey, it was christmas and EA is all about $$. so they threw a unfinished game with tons of bugs on the market.

colour match - nice, little feature.

4 encounter operation - way too less content for pve players. insufficient, even when its harder.

pvp - one new warzone, tiny amount of new content added to the existing 3 played-to-death warzones. still no update for the illum-desaster.

still not one precise word about a server merger / transfer. 1.2 - without other players?

tons of unjustified nerfs (merc-heal / nerf of the healer in pve.. pvp whine? making the game harder -> the lazy way in gamedeveloppment bioware has chosen). there was a huge effort from players (like ruqu) on the ptr-servers to get a conversation started with the devs. pure ignorance was the answer. bad communication / lack of vision from people like georg zoeller.

LEGACY - pure fluff. all about twinking, in a game that is not worth to do alts. same dialogues, same routs, same steril levels, same planetquests, no alternative levelzones beside the classstory. sad that a "story driven mmo" is so weak in this regard.

well, lets see how things will going.

Can you give me an official source on that please?

Some of the people on this board would complain if someone handed them a $20, because it's not enough, it's the wrong currency, it's too wrinkled, the corner is gone, etc, etc.

I'm looking forward to 1.2.

Boooorrring patch.
