Patch 1.4 What do you want?

1) A truly customizable UI. Like WoW's.
2) Rail-free space combat. Space-on-rails is fine for the stupid scripted space missions, but I want Operations, Flashpoints, and PvP that is centered around space combat.
3) Vehicle and Mounted Weapon combat in Operations and Flashpoints. We can see the walkers, tanks, big guns, let us use them.
4) An in-game combat parser. I don't care if i can share it or post it in channels. I want to know how I'm performing in a fight in real time.
5) MORE operations. Waiting months for a new operation that only has 4 bosses is terrible.
6) Story-driven operations. We should be able to make decisions in an operation to effect future encounters. For instance, let's say an end boss has 1 of 2 or 3 minions that assist in his enounter. Give us the choice of which of the minions to kill prior to the end boss fight (have it drive difficulty and loot drops).
7) Server. Merges.
8) Macros

Yeh you assume the writing team is responsible for any of that, they aren't, they are responsible for... writing? you know the story content that they need to be able to have ready for realisation.

But even those things can't happen until they fix the important problems first. Or are you planning to stand in Fleet with your digital boyfriend all by yourself? Which by the way, eventually runs out of dialogue and interaction and just follows you around an empty server.

Again, you assume the writing team has anything to do with optimizing video cards and drop the tone, you instantly switched from talking about implementation to a whole different context of insult, maybe you haven't played many bioware games but romance is a major part of all of their games and it always has been, don't condescend my requests for SGRA content.
Simply put, just because you don't care for it, doesn't mean I should just shut up and wait (something I and many thousands of others have done for nine years.) whilst your list of priorities gets sorted out first.

Anyways my intent was not to join in a hijacking of this thread, so if you wish to debate about the subject go to the SGRA thread in Story and Lore.

I made no assumptions, I just took Daniel's own words from the Guild Summit and my 'source' is that Erickson stated himself that 'this year' SGRA content would be implemented and the IGN article on 1.3 has stated itself that companions will have a focus in 1.4

That isn't expanding anything, it is just leveraging stuff that already exists.
What? did you even read Erickson's own statements on SGRAs at the guild summit? it is going to be both part of a huge story content update and that they won't be just re-writing companions they will be doing a whole range of things with it, he likened what you suggested to 'bad writing' and that they want to do this right and that they have been working on it for a long time and the writing team has a huge lead in producing this content.

Sorry, don't have a photographic memory, hence why I asked, been quite some time since I looked at the Guild Summit stuff.

This IGN Article: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/...patch-revealed ?

The only thing about companions in there is as follows:

Quote:
Though BioWare is working on new content for companion quests as well as world quests that aren’t tied to dungeons, that type of thing won’t be ready for 1.3.
Says nothing about companions and 1.4 unless you are referring to an article I missed?

I guess we'll see. The only thing I'm aware of for 1.4 is a massive raid update with the Dread Masters and a possibility of HK-51 being included as a companion.

I'm willing to "shut up and wait" when it comes to my priorities for the greater good of the game. That's the point you're missing.

And like it or not, the greater good of the game will come first over either of our priorities. What exactly is wrong with that? Your answer doesn't matter, wallets do, and we have the most.

I'll even admit that you will get your LGBT stuff in game before anything else that thousands of players have been asking for. That's a given. But, it won't save this game the other stuff people are asking for will.

No no no, rant about priorities, I stated I wanted to see SGRA content in 1.4, then you jumped on my post, tore it apart and now are acting like I am the one over-reacting and not understanding, I will wish for whatever I like, whether you like it or not and as I stated before:

The point is in the wording, it won't be ready by 1.3, one can assume that means it could very well be ready by 1.4.

Not only that but here and there articles have made hints at 1.4 being story-focused with a focus on companions, I don't exactly remember where but the line has been repeated a few times.

And I only asked you to re-evaluate priorities and to be reasonable.

And no, that one thread is for you.

I want them to make all the end-game PVE content worthwhile. As it stands now, only LI, EC, Corellia & KP offer the top end reward currency. All that other end-game is just a waste at this point.
