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

x-server lfm tool is the only worth thing,
but BW don't made it, so ... the patch is worthless.

Agreed. However, it does separate the game a bit in my opinion and makes it more distinct in how it handles gear. Now I am going crazy to find and buy moddable chest pieces so I can RE and get schematics for them. It definitely adds a bit for me personally.

Color match will make players look more like twins than gear dyes. However it's a nice feature but at topping of gear dyes.

The legacy family tree is fine but mostly a fluffy thing that still does not allows players to have different last names for their characters. And so far you can have 2 male characters linked as spouse. (I like that one though, kind of funny)

I don't see why this is a problem since you don't have to show the last name for your legacy on unrelated rp chars. Also, not to start a gblt debate here, but I don't see how 2 males being spouses is funny.

Problem as you can't have different last names and even if you don't display the legacy name, technically it's still written on your character sheet.

The legacy unlocks are either badly implemented (unlock the same specie you already caped out) or silly: Vader or Palpatine using flame throwers or Han Solo using force choke: no thank you.

I don't see the problem with the implementation for the species (now I can have the pureblood family I created for role play) and the other one is not silly. I don't think you understand rp'ing very well. In role play you should not be limited. I have found a lot of reasonable role play possibilities for those powers and its not like you are going to see them often anyway, I never even use my Heroic ability in the first place. For every "silly" thing you find with these legacy unlocks, there are also a lot of brilliant things rp'ers come up with.
When a player caps a character with a specific specie, most of the time he's going to roll an alt with a different specie, not the same one == fail.

Brillant not sure and certainly not iconic at all

The new gear sets are the worse part of the patch and the legacy gear... well you can already have this with orange gear in game. The main issue with the sets is while you can remove the mods the sets bonuses stays on the sets. Enjoy.

No comment.

We're getting high textures still the in game shadows still look like from 10 years old games and you can't set the drawing distance meaning you'll keep seeing the grass growing around you.

I turn off shadows personally but I see this as a problem I agree with that.

I did

The PvP won't even be improved: no possibility to choose to what warzone to queue and World PvP has now been put to rest for a few... months?

I think it all is being put off for a few months. The way pre-season sounds, its a live server beta for them to try to hone and perfect the pvp for when they implement all the pvp stuff in season one. That is my impression anyway.

World PvP = pvp on any planets everywhere. Pre-season == warzones. Hopefull I'm dead wrong

The UI is indeed the best feature from this patch but the UI is still killing the framerate. Open any UI frame multiple times if you don't trust me. BTW that's why we don't get chat bubbles either.

I really never found this a concern however I do love looking at the game so I am going to be shrinking the UI since it is now available. Hopefully they will give us an eta on chat bubbles and stuff.

There's going to be huge class changes (Nerfs) and yet no free AC to AC respec. Brace yourself for the forum rage... soon™.

Agreed but there will be rage period for anything and everything at all times for the rest of eternity. I see this being a problem for classes that have a tanking/DPS/Healing tree in both ACs (mostly DPS) but otherwise, I don't see how this will be a problem since a lot of players don't like being anything but their role (DPS play DPS and tanks play tanks) since otherwise players role alts for those purposes.

The respec would have helped mitigating the issue

The suit makers are still butchering the lore and have a hard time understanding what's important in a MMO and even more what's Star Warsy/not.

I don't know where to begin with this. I have seen no butchering really, but perhaps I have not played enough of the classes to understand. Also, Star Wars lost knowing what was Star Warsy the moment the EU was spawned so this is a problem plaguing the franchise itself, not how BW makes the MMO imo.

A bit of both. Devs been lecturing how iconic or not are this or that and we end with Vader like using flame throwers, same faction PvP, silly looking Jedi in Hutt ball with glow bats.

LFG, Dual specs, Advanced Class respecs and server merge: have fun finding players to run your errands.

Transfers are all I want, let the community migrate its own way. If some servers become dead empty by themselves, then it will become obvious for the Devs to merge them on their own.

Transfers would really help for sure, they should even start with that before anything else.

All in all the patch is more like a plaster than else: not it's not the messiah patch, far from it.

Agreed, however it does fix a lot of issues and bugs that have bothered me personally so I am not apathetic to it. It just adds fun features for me until 1.3 comes out (which hopefully will be, as devs said, sooner than 1.2 was)..

1.3 might be too late and maybe too few regarding the incoming MMOs.

Might at least have chapter 2 done and get the class buffs for your legacy.

P.S.: good post.
