I also find 2.2 really disappointing.

I'm not even a hardcore PVPer and I fully understand why people who focus mainly on that aspect of the game would feel like Bioware doesn't care about them at all.

PVErs got Makeb, new daily and weekly quests, the seeker droid, a new operation, older FPs in HM, new gear etc.
All PVPers got is new gear and the same warzones. I'm sick of them and I don't even PVP that much.

The game is starting to feel like only Raiders have something to look forward to.
The rest of us (PVErs who don't raid anymore and casual/hardcore PVPers) are supposed to wait 3 months for something new? That's too long especially during a period when people have time off work and school and could play more.

I realize this is mainly a PVE game, but I think that focusing solely on Operations is a mistake.

I'd also like to say that I appreciate the communication and the fact that they are telling us what's coming not only in the next patch but also after that, but for the first time since launch I feel like there is very little for me to wait for (and they are all in August) and I'm considering cancelling my subscription.

It will be interesting to see how they apply this tech to the UV sets.
if thats what they mean,couldnt that be detrimental to fps? not only that after a while it kinda made my eyes hurt??

They were probably intending it to be a big player morale boost announcement heading into a long weekend and after a couple weeks of 2.1 debacles.

I'm not a big PVPer, so the lack of news for them isn't hitting me hard, but I've read the post a couple times and still say meh for some reason.

So basically no new content till August. Also, what happened to transfers in 2.2, is that scrapped already?
Unsubscribed due to no new Operations.
I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

Gggrrrr they finally communicate but it's exactly not what most players want to occur or what seems to have been promoted previously. No PvP updates is an erroneous mistake. How they could be this blind and think just saying after Aug will be a PvP update wouldn't cause huge backlash amongst PvPers is beyond me.

It's sad for those of us that love PvP and really want to play swtor but the more PvPers that leave and no cross server queuing thus eventually leads to high queue times and less and less PvPers. I can't see anyway they would possibly want to lose this faction of players as we spend hundreds on CM items as well per player.

The foresite and care for their players is extremely poor right now, showing not much has changed. It's a relationship between the game and players that is driven by those in charge and they apparently under estimate players ability to swap games or decided enough is enough no more being mislead or bring strung along and that point is coming.

Perhaps it costs too much to keep outsourcing for PvP development...

Oh well, my peace has been said, not impressed at all.

I understand fully why 2 million+ have left this game...it is quite clear.

2.2 seems good, need to start gearing up again soon! 2.3 seems even better, can't wait for the new FP! Thanks for the info, Bruce.

That's all well and good but have you thought of putting some effort into making mailboxes appear any time soon?

Huttball was working perfectly at launch and some time after, now it's glitch and lag heaven.

You do remember us, your subscribers right? In the early days of this game you talked about quality of life in the game. How about going back to that philosophy and stop getting caught up in creating shiny things to maximize cartel market profits.

Also, I really hope you have a revamp for the dye system. I would be happy to pay cartel coins for subscribers to have a palette of primary and secondary and highlight colors rather than this random drop crap. It's just as bad as waiting for you to come up with a nice armour design. And what if I liked the partisan armour but I have to upgrade to conquerer to get better stats. Please think of a better token system than the whole dam armour piece. I'd be happy to rip out just the armour mod and trade that or something.

Try to focus on your core gamers in the next few months pls, or you will be walking a very thin line.
