I for one, am happy taht we are going to be getting more content on a regular basis.
PvP is certainly a big part of this game. As is story...I don't see any story updates here either. Telling people to unsub when they're unhappy with something is not helpful. Those who are unhappy with this plan have the right to make their views known to the developers. It is to be hoped that the developers will see that the lack of pvp content is an issue and will address this in a real way. Here's the good thing about giving us this information and getting feedback now - they actually have an opportunity to adjust their plans to address this issue within a decent timeframe, provided they're willing to do that.
aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

In the midst of all the flak you're getting, I'm just like to point out how much I appreciate these types of "road maps" when provided by developers. It's very brave, it's very transparent, and it's very encouraging. Yes, you're going to get a little flamed on the forums if the content isn't exactly when a particular player wants, and yes, you're going to get even more if you miss those tentative dates, but just know that there is at least one player out there that absolutely loves the effort being shown and the forthrightness with your future plans.

Thank you.

Put on your big boy pants and give a legit answer because my sub, and likely many more so far dedicated.. but growing increasingly impatient customers are a hairs width from leaving.


Should I cancel my sub and wait for more details on 2.4?
Thats what I just did. Time to find a new sub based MMO for the summer. I bought a bunch of warzone passes so I can still do those as I desire. The rest of the game is pointless to me, and no longer worth subbing for without any real reason to stay paying. Next week, I see what preferred access is like

Also, anger aside, I agree with the poster above me. I DO appreciate the fact that this post was given. It's REALLY nice to see. I don't like the content in it...but I can separate that from the appreciation it was given/told to us to begin with.

And that's the "huge" content update coming in 2.2? Only Nightmare Mode TfB? You must be kidding me...

Hmmm... is this like... modifiable patterns on gear or something? Or dos it mean animated textures? But it definitely has something to do with textures from the sound of it.

Make that at least two...very excited by the news and looking forward to see it all as it comes out. Will this content be showing up on the PTS any time soon?

Well am obviously not a develloper but I can give you some insights on UVs.

UV is the XY of texturing, so to speak. They are a topographical/topology way of representing the coordinates of vertices and the polygons and thus where the texture applies/is projected on.

Scrolling UVs most probably means all or some parts of the texture will "shift" around the mesh/model.
Here's a video for example.
So it's mostly used on water, lava, things that flow... They're already using it on some parts of the terrain.

SWTOR I find your lack of content disturbing.......

Why does "scrolling UV" sound like a feature that's going to be available on like 5 pieces of PvE gear & on 50 in the CM?

Everyond needs to remember that their will be a new round of CM features & items between 2.2/2.3/2.4 ~ that those things will be completely awesome ~ and that you'll get up to 700 CC free with your subscription.

Once my sub runs out early next month, I think I'm done till August.

Moreover, if you're dying so much this change really helps, then you're probably terrible anyway, and you're still going to lose warzones.
Lol. So says the Sniper. And yes. I main one.

Thanks for the insight. So possibly, we could see a type of moving design on the armor. Interesting.
