Everyone is daft!

Bolster was the last HUGE PVP content we got!





(in reality it was just PvE content so they could do warzones without feeling butthurt)

Sorry to disagree with some of you guys but I think this is great. This is MILES better than how it was in the past.

I'm pretty sure the same people would complain, except instead of complaining that they have to wait until 2.4 they'd be saying that there will be no pvp updates coming at all.

What I am wondering is whether there will be a new type of material for the new gear, or will the use the ones that drop in FPs and Operations currently (I'm guessing the former and not the latter).

As many said, the problem is that 2.4 isn't slated for a while which makes the PvPer's wonder why they should keep resubbing for now.

If you told me that there's no new raid content (even NiM modes) for the next 3-4 months I would just unsub in a couple weeks after I'm BiS as there's little reason to pay a sub for that.

Honestly though, with the fact that a real, new operation isn't even mentioned for the next 3-4 months it makes me question whether I want to keep subbing to pay to play the same operations I've already done for the last few months since TFB originally came out.

No we're giving you flak because we pay money each month and are getting less and less content (PVE and PVP) and more and more Cartel Coin stuff.

So from February (1.7 – the Gree event) through to August(2.3)- 6 months all my subscription will have got me content wise was.

Gree Event
Scum and Villany Op ( and i had to buy makeb for this beauty)
TFB nightmare mode.

is indefensible

That's a definite exaggeration.

Double XP weekends? Awesome!

A huge update in August? Sounds good.

As for the rest of it, I'm a little disappointed. I guess I was hoping something would be done regarding current graphics problems. Such as black screen and loading problems almost everyone has been experiencing. Overall, though, it's enough to keep me around until the end of the summer. Let's see what the 2.4 update is like.

How so? As someone who doesn't do ops since the server migrations and primarily only PVP's and does world events, what other content besides gree will my sub have got me this year? ROTHC was something I paid for, and not only that but it was all PVE content (not a single crumb of PVP development) and it was practically over as soon as it started, leaving subs like me to the same wz's/dailies/weeklies. I'm supposed to keep a sub all year for gree event and new pvp coming in 2.4? With ESO, EQN, GTA5 and new consoles coming out, there is far too much good competition this fall for Bioware to be dragging their knuckles on PVP

So you don't care about the game? I mean, that was the point made. I think it was a valid one.
